    Ruan Chu shook her head nkly.


    After she realized that she had a psychological problem, she secretly came to the Psychology Department of the mental hospital for a checkup. In order to prevent her grandfather from worrying, she had always hidden it from him, so she did not use the Ruan family’s connections to treat her depression.


    Ji Linbai looked surprised.


    She didn’t get another psychiatrist to treat her. How was this possible?


    “Miss Ruan, what have you been doing during this period of time?” Ji Linbai asked casually.


    Ruan Chu answered, “Work.”


    Ever since the first episode of “Drinking in the Countryside”, she had be popr. Now, her resources were getting better and better day by day, and her schedule was getting fuller. She would fly to a ce to shoot endorsements every two to three days, and many production teams invited her to join them.


    Ji Linbai had grown up in a medical family and had been obsessed with medicine since he was young. He had always pursued higher medical achievements.


    The reason why he acknowledged Gu Jin as his boss was because Gu Jin’s medical skills were so high that he worshipped her.


    Now that he was greatly interested in Ruan Chu’s recovery, he patiently chatted with her.


    Apart from being a surgeon, he was also a psychiatrist. He knew how tomunicate with patients to make them feel rxed andfortable.


    And he did. At least, Ruan Chu felt that he was chatting with her as if she was a normal person, not interrogating her as a patient.


    He had basically figured out that there was a key point in Ruan Chu’s change in mentality, and that was when she was on the variety show “Drinking in the Countryside”.


    However, what he didn’t expect was that Ruan Chu woulde out of seclusion, make aeback, and go on the variety show because of a bet with GU yang.


    “Your previous variety show was very interesting and the response on the inte was very good. I heard that there are five episodes of ‘Drinking in the Countryside’ for each season. Will you continue to participate in the next few episodes?” Ji Linbai asked gently.


    Ruan Chu thought about it and was a little uncertain. “That depends on my cousin, Gu Yang. With my status, I’m actually not qualified to appear in ‘ Drinking in the Countryside’. I was able to go for thest episode because of my cousin, Gu Yang. If she goes for the next few episodes, I’ll continue to apany her. If she doesn’t go, I probably won’t go either.”


    Ji Linbai frowned, thinking to himself that Gu Yang was really domineering. She even needed someone to apany her on a variety show.


    Moreover, she was not Miss Ruan’s biological cousin anymore. Big Boss was Miss Ruan’s biological cousin!


    Ji Linbai chatted with Ruan Chu for a long time about her work in the entertainment industry, so much so that Ruan Chu kept looking at him inquisitively. In the end, she could not help but ask, “Are you a fan of mine?” Ji Linbai was stunned by the question. Although he did not understand the entertainment industry, he knew what the word “fan” meant. It was used to refer to people chasing celebrities.


    In psychology, celebrities were often chased due to projection effects, bandwagon effects, and halo effects.


    The projection effect refers to the tendency to attribute one’s characteristics to others, i.e., an admirer projecting dreams, desires, or ws in one’s self onto an idol. It was a cognitive impairment that used one’s own thoughts to infer the thoughts of others, known as “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”N?v(el)B\\jnn


    The bandwagon effect was to follow the crowd mentality. Some teenagers were just blindly following the trend.


    The halo effect was that once fans were attracted to an idol’s quality or beauty, they magnified the “excellence” or “beauty” in this aspect infinitely and ignored its shorings.


    Ji Linbai believed that he was rational enough to not be affected by these effects and have a cognitive bias!


    However, when he thought about how he still had to follow up on Miss Ruan’s illness in the future, he adjusted his sses and looked at Ruan Chu gently. “I became a fan watching the show..”
