Strictly speaking, Zhao Tianhao only arrived in this world yesterday.
"Doctor, hello. I'd like to consult about some psychological issues."
Zhao Tianhao sensed that the middle-aged man seemed hesitant to speak. "Please go ahead," Zhao Tianhao gestured for him to continue.
Seeing the middle-aged man's hesitant expression, the young and beautiful woman held his hands, offering comfort and support.
Feeling encouraged by his girlfriend, the middle-aged man rallied himself and looked up at Zhao Tianhao, saying shyly, "I... I have a problem."
After speaking, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had found it difficult to speak, he relaxed after saying it and continued to Zhao Tianhao, "I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said I have no physical problems, it's a psychological one. So, I came to ask the doctor, how can I treat this?"
He then looked at Zhao Tianhao nervously, afraid of hearing bad news.
Zhao Tianhao understood what the other person meant.
He was physically fine; theoretically, he should be able to get an erection, but he couldn't. The doctor who examined him suspected a psychological issue, so he came to Zhao Tianhao for help.
Frankly, this situation wasn't common. Zhao Tianhao remembered seeing a few patients like this, so he wasn't surprised. To treat it, the key was to understand the triggering factor.
It was the principle of "the one who tied the knot must untie it."
"Although your condition is uncommon, there are still a few cases like this, so don't be nervous. This kind of condition is easy to treat," Zhao Tianhao reassured the middle-aged man, then continued, "First, I need to understand its triggering factor to prescribe the right treatment. Have you experienced any trauma or unforgettable events? Briefly describe your daily life."
"I haven't experienced any trauma," the middle-aged man said, looking at the young woman with some confusion.
"I usually just drink a little. If I had to pick something unforgettable, it's that I've been missing my daughter lately. I wonder if that's what's unforgettable," the middle-aged man said.
"How old is your daughter?" Zhao Tianhao asked.
"Sixteen or seventeen, I guess," the middle-aged man said uncertainly.
Upon hearing that his daughter was that old, Zhao Tianhao knew she wasn't the woman's child, as the woman looked to be at most thirty.
"I'm divorced. The child is with my ex-wife, and she's always lived with her," the middle-aged man explained.
"How was your relationship with your ex-wife before the divorce?" Zhao Tianhao guessed that his inner turmoil was related to his ex-wife.
"In terms of our relationship, my ex-wife was the head of the household. We all followed her orders."
"So, in your life together, your ex-wife was always in a dominant position. Was she also in control in your sex life?"
Zhao Tianhao pressed further.
"I…I…" the middle-aged man hesitated, finding it even more difficult to speak. After all, it was like openly confronting one's own wounds.
"Don't treat me like an outsider. Open your heart. How can I treat you if you're like this? Just answer my questions honestly," Zhao Tianhao said, seeing the middle-aged man's reluctance to speak, and tried to reassure him.
"Yes, during sex, I always ejaculate in just a few seconds. I... I have absolutely no confidence," the man said.
The middle-aged man knew he was there for treatment, so he stopped worrying and spoke frankly, almost as if he'd given up entirely.
Zhao Tianhao knew what was going on. His ex-wife had probably crushed his confidence, or perhaps it wasn't her, but the pressure he put on himself. As a man, he wanted to be assertive at home.
He wanted to prove himself in his sex life.
But it only lasted a few seconds. Over time, his confidence completely disappeared. And with age and declining physical function, he might need more stimulation.
Ordinary factors no longer worked.
For example, when men are young, they might salute at the sight of a young, beautiful woman.
Now, even if they're naked and standing in front of a woman, they might still need her to serve them before they'd salute.
Not to mention the insecurity this middle-aged man is in.
"I understand the general situation. Your condition is treatable, but it might require some stimulus, or you need to overcome your own insecurity and regain your confidence." Of course, there's another method Zhao Tianhao didn't mention: modifying this memory, making him appear very virile, or simply deleting it altogether.
However, Zhao Tianhao was too lazy to do something so laborious and unrewarding.
"Really? Doctor, can my condition be cured?" The middle-aged man was overjoyed when Zhao Tianhao said it was curable, excitedly grasping Zhao Tianhao's hands.
Zhao Tianhao withdrew his hand. If it weren't for the middle-aged man's seemingly genuine excitement, Zhao Tianhao would have hypnotized him and sent him to live with a sow, given his opportunistic handshake.
"Alright, let's register your information first. After you register, I'll tell you how to treat him," Zhao Tianhao said, turning to a new patient registration form.
As a legitimate psychological counseling clinic, Zhao Tianhao needed to register the information accurately.
"Name." "Qiao Weidong," Qiao Weidong said, suppressing his excitement and sitting up straight.
"What?" Zhao Tianhao was stunned. The person in front of him was Qiao Weidong, so the woman must be Xiao Meng.
No wonder Zhao Tianhao felt this person looked familiar; he did indeed have some of the style of the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique.
Qiao Weidong thought Zhao Tianhao hadn't heard him clearly, so he repeated his name, breaking it down and explaining the meaning of each character.
"What's your ex-wife's name? What's your daughter's name?" Although Zhao Tianhao was 90% certain, he still wanted to confirm.
Despite wondering why Zhao Tianhao was asking about his ex-wife and daughter's names, Qiao Weidong didn't refuse to answer; after all, there was no need to keep it a secret.
Qiao Weidong thought the doctor probably had his reasons.
"Song Qian, Qiao Yingzi," Qiao Weidong replied.
Sure enough, after confirming that the scene before him was indeed Qiao Weidong from the story, Zhao Tianhao immediately hatched a plan.
Zhao Tianhao lowered his head, adjusted his glasses, and gave a wicked smile.
Like a villain in a movie, a flash of white light swept across his glasses. For some reason, Qiao Weidong and Xiao Meng had a bad feeling after seeing Zhao Tianhao's smile.
While filling out the medical record, Zhao Tianhao pretended to casually make eye contact with Qiao Weidong, hypnotizing him.
He had only been trying it out, never expecting it to succeed. After all, Qiao Weidong was practically Yingzi's father.
Zhao Tianhao was astonished; it had actually succeeded. Of course, this was advantageous to Zhao Tianhao.
Zhao Tianhao quickly understood why.
Because through Qiao Weidong's memories, Zhao Tianhao learned that this was still during summer vacation, before the story began.
Because Qiao Weidong only started having frequent contact with Yingzi after she entered her senior year of high school; before that, they only met once or twice a year, so he wasn't very close to Yingzi at the moment.
Furthermore, because Qiao Weidong's infidelity led to the breakdown of her parents' marriage (this was what Yingzi believed; although Song Qian later learned it was a misunderstanding, she never gave Qiao Weidong a chance to explain), she had basically never experienced fatherly love, growing up under the strict upbringing of her mother, Song Qian. Of course, Yingzi also felt sorry for and understood Song Qian.
Therefore, deep down, Yingzi felt some dislike for Qiao Weidong, but not hatred.
However, Qiao Yingzi later genuinely felt Qiao Weidong's kindness towards her and let go of her resentment.
Therefore, Qiao Weidong was now a stranger to Qiao Yingzi. This was why Zhao Tianhao's hypnosis was effective.
Having figured this out, Zhao Tianhao could only apologize. "You should stay away from Qiao Yingzi's life. Leave the rest to me."
"I will take good care of them, mother and daughter," Zhao Tianhao thought wickedly.
Zhao Tianhao hypnotized Qiao Weidong in an instant, instilling in him the idea that Zhao Tianhao was his master and that Qiao Weidong would unconditionally obey him.
