◇ Chapter 27 Pass

Xie Yu stayed in the mental hospital for more than two months.

During this period, his emotions were stable and he never did anything to hurt himself. Xu Qingshan observed carefully and felt that Xie Yu should not have any major problems, but there was a small problem.

——He would laugh at the void for no reason.

This kind of laughter is irregular, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, and the time is also irregular, sometimes an hour, sometimes half an hour. When he first saw it, Xu Qingshan almost rushed in to inject Xie Yu with a sedative, but after his observation, Xie Yu was just laughing, and when you talk to him, he is clear and logical, without any other abnormalities.

To be honest, Master Xie is good-looking, and his smile is bright and cheerful. Except for the fact that his smile when staring at the corner of the wall is a bit creepy, everything about him is so pleasing to the eye.

Xu Qingshan pondered for a moment and wrote on the medical record: "Suspected visual or auditory hallucinations caused by mental disorders, no other obvious symptoms."

He sighed slightly and shared this discovery with Shen Ci who came to visit.

Shen Ci paused for a moment and didn't speak, but saw Xu Qingshan tapping the table with a pen, hesitating for a moment: "Mr. Shen, you don't have to worry, we are a professional mental illness hospital and will provide the best treatment. Another question is..."

"Do you need a diagnosis?" Xu Qingshan pushed his glasses and said with a smile, "I have no ill intentions, but your obsessive-compulsive disorder seems to be a bit serious."

In the ward, Xie Yu and the system were happily choosing a movie.

"What are you watching today? Are you still watching the action?"

"…Is there anything else? I'm getting a little bored."

"comedy?"

Although there is a TV in the ward, it is an old desktop computer with a screen size of only 22 inches, which is not even as big as Xie Yu's computer. The screen quality is poor, the picture quality is blurry, and the sound is rough. It is no match for the system playing directly in the brain and the 75-inch large screen with lossless sound quality, which is shocking.

They have watched nine "Fast and Furious" movies and six "Transformers" movies, and are tired of seeing explosions, so they recently decided to switch to comedy movies.

The system picked out Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Xie Yu lay on the bed, watching the movie with a smile on his face. He told jokes to the system from time to time, completely unaware that according to Xu Qingshan's comments, his condition was not optimistic.

This ward was a single VIP ward. Thanks to his donation five years ago, the interior decoration was completely renovated, the mattress was replaced, and someone cooked for him every day. Although he had to get an injection every day, with the system in place, these medicines would not have any effect. Xie Yu was happy and lived a comfortable and pleasant life. The only thing he lacked was some popcorn.

In between watching movies, he took some time to discuss the score with the system.

At this point in the plot, Xie Yu's part was basically over, and he was just about to finish the work and the score was finalized. The system argued with him: "Some of the plots have problems, especially after returning home. You didn't say a lot of lines, but we have finished the major plot points. You were dragged out of the party... Well, although it wasn't Shen Ci who dragged you out, and it didn't look like a dead dog, but you were dragged out after all."

“You broke your fingers. Even though it wasn’t Shen Ci who broke them, and you only broke one, not ten, but you broke them after all.”

"Mental hospital. Hmm, this is the most consistent. You are staying there... and there is a restraint belt plot, which you haven't completed." The system tapped its non-existent fingers. "Let me see. The overall score is 59.75. Just a little bit off."

The restraints refer to Shen Ci coming to see him, and him lying on the bed with restraints tied on him, his heart as dead and his face as empty, to represent the tragic ending of the villain.

So Xie Yu went to Xu Qingshan with a shy face to ask for the restraint.

As a doctor with medical ethics, Xu Qingshan certainly would not casually use a restraint belt on a patient. After all, this thing is not comfortable. He pushed his glasses, looked up and down at Xie Yu, frowned and said: "Your condition is relatively stable, why do you need a restraint belt?"

Xie Yu thought to himself that it was of course because of that unlucky 0.25%, but he still silently said sorry to Xu Qingshan, and then said: "I have violent impulses when I sleep."

Xu Qingshan's eyes suddenly became serious, and he stared at Xie Yu solemnly: "Can you describe your feelings at that time in detail?"

Xie Yu: “…Uh.”

It has been a long time since high school, and Xie Yu's memory of bipolar disorder has long faded. He relied on the remaining memories to say: "I have hallucinations, and I always feel that there are other people in the room."

Xu Qingshan paused with his pen and drew a long straight line on the medical record.

That’s right.

He quietly increased the dosage of the drug.

That night, Xie Yu got the restraint belt as he wished.

This thing is a bit like a seat belt, four fingers wide, tied around the limbs to restrict movement. In order to prevent the patient from struggling, it is often tied very tightly, affecting blood circulation. After a long time, the limbs become numb and sore, and it is not comfortable.

Xie Yu thought: "For 0.25%."

*

Chen Ci is very busy with work now, and for some reason, he always visits in the dead of night and never appears when Xie Yu is awake, as if he is afraid of being discovered by him.

Xu Qingshan more or less guessed the awkward relationship between the two, and believed that this handsome young man would not hurt his nephew, so after opening the door and letting Shen Ci in, he ignored him.

Shen Ci sat down at the head of Xie Yu's bed.

His eyes swept across the four restraints and he sat quietly for a long time. After a moment, he tentatively reached out his hand and placed it on the marks left by the straps.

He rubbed it gently.

Xie Yu sighed silently.

Shen Ci thought he came very late and he had already fallen asleep, but Xie Yu slept every day now, and his exercise was limited during the day, so he was particularly awake at night. He was either chatting with the system or watching a movie. Every time Shen Ci came, he was awake.

The other party came in the dark and left in the dark, and each time he only sat for ten or twenty minutes, in a hurry. Qingshan Mental Hospital is far away from the city, and it takes more than half an hour to drive there. With the back and forth trips, Xie Yu was worried that Shen Ci was too tired and had dark circles under his eyes.

It's such a pity that such a beautiful girl has dark circles under her eyes.

After coming here so many times, even someone as slow-witted as Xie Yu could sense that something was wrong.

Why did Shen Ci do this?

They met by chance five years ago, and although no actual harm was done, Xie Yu thought he had a bad attitude and said some very idiotic second-generation remarks. When he returned to China later, although Shen Ci did not hate him to the bone, according to the completion of the plot, he should not be so... caring.

He was lying on the bed, thinking silently, the system was still playing a movie. Today's movie was a comedy, and he was enjoying it. He tried to find Xie Yu to discuss the plot, but suddenly there was a ding-dong sound in the background and a prompt popped up.

"60% of the storyline has been completed."

At this moment, the system and Xie Yu paused at the same time.

After the system froze for a short time, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this is the first time it leads a host, judging from the experience of its predecessors, Xie Yu is definitely among the top three in terms of difficulty to deal with. Although he looks nonchalant and careless, he is more stubborn than anyone else in his heart and will not take a wrong step once he has made up his mind, resulting in a messy and disorganized plot.

Fortunately, now the dust has settled, the task has finally been successfully completed.

The system poked its host and said excitedly: "Host, it succeeded, you can go home!"

When Xie Yu signed a contract with him, the condition was that if 60% of the completion rate was reached, Xie Yu could return to his world.

Xie Yuze was slightly stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

He agreed to do the task because he died inexplicably in his previous life. Not long after he was completely cured of his mental illness and had just escaped from the shadow of his father, he died suddenly. He was very reluctant, but he finally agreed.

But to be honest, he was used to being alone and didn't have anyone he cared about in his previous life.

Later, when he arrived here, he followed the plot with the mentality of a spectator who was just watching the show. He didn't pay much attention, nor did he put in much effort. He and Zhou Yang were just chance acquaintances, he got tired of Xie Yuanshan and He Zhiyuan, he didn't care about Xie Yuanhai at all, and as for Shen Ci... it's hard to say.

He knew the predetermined outcome, and even the process seemed boring. The only thing that could be considered as his own choice was that he read more books when he was studying abroad. The school's curriculum was tight and graduation was difficult, but he lived a fulfilling life and enjoyed a college life that he had never imagined in his previous life.

Other than that, there's nothing much to praise.

But now that it has finally come to an end, he feels a little confused.

Xie Yu closed his eyes: "If I choose to leave, what will happen here?"

The host was stunned for a moment: "Uh..."

It thought for a moment and said, "In the plot, 'Xie Yu' is not dead yet. After you leave, I will create a body of 'Xie Yu' and make him temporarily comatose. Of course, there will be some scattered plots that will be briefly mentioned later, that is, Shen Ci will visit 'Xie Yu' in the mental hospital. You can come back to perform then."

The original owner was an unimportant supporting character in the novel. He didn’t have many words in the ending, and he didn’t have to come back many times. It would hardly have any impact on Xie Yu’s life in his world.

Xie Yu didn't say anything.

The restraints bound his limbs, and the only part that could move was his neck. He turned his head slightly and looked at Shen Ci who was standing by the window.

Shen Ci stood up at some point, and was looking out the window with his back to him. He didn't know what he was thinking. The curtains in the ward were not drawn, and a bright moon was hanging high in the sky. The moonlight shone down, and it looked a little lonely.

If this body fell into a coma from then on, Shen Ci would probably still come to see him, maybe once every few days, once a few months, or once a few years, but no matter what, he would probably be sad every time he came to see him.

Xie Yu sighed softly and said, "Let's not go back yet."

The system didn't understand what he was thinking. After all the hard work to achieve the goal, it didn't go back immediately. However, it still nodded ignorantly: "Okay."

The plot was completed and there were no system restrictions. In Xu Qingshan's eyes, Xie Yu was getting better day by day.

Except for that night, he never asked for the restraints again. Although he still stared at the corner in a daze, he no longer showed that creepy smile.

…Actually, they had finished watching the good comedy, so System and Xie Yu switched to watching a feature film.

Shen Ci still came to see him from time to time, and Xie Yu took medicine and watched movies as usual, and everything was fine. However, Xie Yuanhai, who had not contacted Xie Yu for a long time, called and invited him to attend the Xie family's dinner, when a group of shareholders and Jiangcheng celebrities would attend, and they would also discuss the issue of equity transfer.

This call was new. When Xie Yuanhai's deep bass voice came out of the phone, Xie Yu thought he had called the wrong person. He covered the receiver and asked the system: "When will this plot appear?"

The system shrugged: "The plot has ended, and everything is possible in the future."

They made a brief analysis and thought that it might be that by now in the original plot, all of Xie Yu's contact information had been controlled by Shen Ci, and the original owner had inherited part of his father's shares and should have had a seat at the shareholders' meeting. Although the shares were soon taken away by Xie Yuanhai, Xie Yu's plot was rushed and this part had not yet arrived. It was reasonable to invite him to attend and coerce and induce him to sign a transfer contract.

System: "Host, are you going?"

Xie Yu: "Go ahead, you have nothing to do."

The equity discount is also a huge sum of money. Whether it is used to upgrade Xu Qingshan's hospital facilities or simply donated to charity, it is better than losing the money after the Xie Group's stock price plummeted after Xie Yuanhai's accident.

His condition is stable now, so he can leave, but Xu Qingshan wants to keep him for two more days for observation and has not discharged him from the hospital.

On the day of the banquet, he borrowed Xu Qingshan's worn-out Santana, looked through it, and found that the suits at the bottom of the closet had not been taken care of for a long time and were very wrinkled. He simply put on some casual clothes and drove there.

The banquet was held in a high-end hotel. The parking lot was filled with luxury cars, including Bentleys, Mercedes-Benzes, and Maseratis. Xie Yu stepped on the brakes and the Santana wobbled into the crowd of luxury cars and stopped with a bang. He seemed so relaxed and at ease that the security guard in charge was scared.

——"My God, if you get hit by this, won't you lose everything you have to pay for it?"

Xie Yu had completed his mission and could leave anytime he wanted, so he didn't care about this. He took out his key and went upstairs, not caring about the security guard's strange look at all, and asked, "I'm going to the W Hotel. Which way does the elevator go?"

He followed the signs and found his way to the entrance of the banquet hall. From afar, he saw the receptionist, Xie Yuanhai's own son Xie Yi, greeting guests at the door. He was wearing a hand-made tailor-made suit and a Swiss luxury watch on his wrist. He looked very high-spirited - now that Xie Yuanhai had taken over the company, he was considered the first heir and was very proud of himself.

The original owner was not familiar with this cousin, and Xie Yu didn't even know him. He came purely to get the money and eat for free. He had no interest in who would take over the company. He nodded and greeted him, then walked inside.

Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "You are dressed like this?"

All the people present were well-known figures in Jiangcheng. The ladies were all wearing high heels and evening gowns, and the men were all wearing shirts, ties and tuxedos. Xie Yu was wearing sneakers, and his entire body cost no more than three hundred yuan.

Xie Yu waved his hand: "I'm down and out now, not as good as I used to be."

Xie Yi looked at him with a strange expression.

He knew that his cousin Xie Yu had a bad temper and hated being bullied by others the most. Now he looked so shabby, which was simply embarrassing, but he had no expression?

Someone bumped into him: "What are you looking at?"

Xie Yi retracted his gaze: "My cousin is a little weird."

The man picked up the wine and said, "Can I help you try it?"

Xie Yu walked in leisurely and found a seat at the edge. Everyone present was socializing and no one paid any attention to him. The announcement of equity would be put at the end of the banquet, so now he could only wait.

While drinking champagne, Xie Yu asked the system: "Will Shen Ci come?"

It was strange that they stayed in the same room every other night, but hadn't seen each other for a long time. After taking the medicine, Xie Yu dutifully pretended to sleep, and Shen Ci sat and left without saying a word, let alone talking, so that if Xie Yu wanted to talk to him, he had to find an occasion like a banquet.

System: "There is an 87% chance that a major change in equity will occur."

It asked curiously, "If you meet him, what will you say to him? Say goodbye?"

Xie Yu paused for a moment while shaking the wine glass, then smiled and said vaguely, "Maybe."

But when he thought of this ending, his heart suddenly contracted and beat, turning into an indescribable pain.

The author has something to say:

Xu Qingshan: The condition is getting worse!

Xie Yu & System: Watching movies is fun.
