Chapter 49: The Paranoid Patient



Chen Wang placed the portrait in place and took the medicine box from Chu Chenan.

Chu Chenan lowered his eyes and no longer looked at the painting in front of him.

Maybe it's a psychological effect.

It's not like he's the only one with a red mole.

"Let's go sit on the sofa." Chen Wang suggested, walked to the bedroom door and opened it, "Otherwise the doctor might be a little tired standing."

Chen Wang turned sideways at the door and looked at Chu Chenan, "Come in quickly, doctor."

Chu Chenan’s medicine box was snatched away, and he could only reluctantly follow him into the bedroom.

The furnishings in the bedroom were the same as before. The walls were lined with his old picture frames, and the leather sofa was still covered with a brand new cashmere blanket.

There are two cartoon wind chimes hanging in front of the window, which were hung there by Chu Chenan before.

Shenwang's inner bedroom is not like an ordinary ward at all. This bedroom is decorated luxuriously and can be divided into three areas: sofa, bookcase, desk and bed.

...

...

Like a boutique room.

The bed is at the innermost part, with two rows of pear wood bookcases directly in front of the bed, and the sofa and entrance cabinet on the left.

Chu Chenan looked around and lowered his eyes. He sat on the far right side of the sofa, far away from Chen Wang.

Chen Wang opened Chu Chenan's medicine box, took out the medicines in the box one by one, and placed them on the marble coffee table.

He stood up and sat next to Chu Chenan.

Chu Chenan hurriedly tried to sit a little to the right, but found himself sitting at the very edge of the sofa with nowhere to go.

His ears turned red with nervousness. He whispered, "Your illness... just take some medicine."

"But doctor, I feel like taking medicine won't help," Chen Wang took out a measuring instrument from the table and handed it to Chu Chen'an, "Doctor, please help me take a look."

Chu Chenan held the instrument tightly. He knew nothing about psychiatric medicine, but he still asked, "What symptoms have you had in the past few days that make you feel that your condition has worsened?"

"There are a lot. Doctor, please help me test and I will tell you slowly." Chen Wang rolled up the sleeves of his black shirt.

"Oh." Chu Chenan turned on the instrument, which was customized for patients in a mental hospital. He just held the thin needle and inserted it into Chen Wang's arm, but he heard a "beep" from the instrument and the data on the screen suddenly went black.

Chu Chenan pulled out the needle and quickly took out a cotton swab dipped in iodine to stop the bleeding for Chen Wang.

Chen Wang held the cotton swab in his hand, a faint smile in his eyes, "This instrument seems to be broken."

Chu Chenan hoped that it would break down. He packed up the equipment and said, "I'll do it next time..."

"But there is another one in my room. It's on the bedside table on the left. Doctor, can you help me get it?" Chen Wang interrupted Chu Chenan, his eyes wandering around Chu Chenan's collar when he lowered his head.

Chu Chenan said, "Okay..."

He stood up, walked to the bedside table on the left, and opened the first cabinet on top.

Chu Chenan's hand trembled.

There are two blue and white simulation models inside, as well as several frequency-divided vibrations. The toys...are all covered with a layer of dust.

Chu Chenan hurriedly pushed the cabinet back with a "bang".

Whenever he saw these, he couldn't help but think of those crazy nights.

"What's wrong, doctor?" Chen Wang was watching his back from a distance, his voice low and light, "Oh, I'm sorry to make you laugh, doctor, those are my wife's toys. He likes them very much, and I let him play with them every night."

Chu Chenan bit his lower lip and his cheeks flushed.

fart!

He doesn't like it at all.

"The instrument should be in the cabinet below." Chen Wang reminded him.

Chu Chenan took a deep breath, grasped the handle of the cabinet on the lower level and pulled it open.

What caught my eye were three bottles of essential oils.

To be more precise, these are more than just essential oils.

One can is the traditional clear color.

One bottle of strawberry-colored essential oil is almost empty.

Chu Chenan hurriedly stepped back. He was very familiar with it.

Because all of these were used on him.

There is also a bottle of rose essential oil, which is extracted from crushed rose petals. It has a beautiful color and a rich and intoxicating floral fragrance. This bottle is new.

Looking at this bright rose color, he couldn't help but think of the hazy dream he had last night.

Chu Chenan hurriedly pushed the cabinet back.

"I'm sorry, doctor, I remembered it wrongly. It seems to be in the cabinet on the right." Chen Wang said.

Chu Chenan gritted his teeth and turned to the bedside table on the right.

Finally he found the instrument in the first cabinet on the right.

He sat down next to Shen Wang with the instrument.

After the test, as he expected, all indicators were normal.

Chu Chenan asked, "What are your symptoms?"

"I've been suffering from insomnia lately." Chen Wang said, glancing down at the ends of Chu Chenan's hair.

"Why?" Chu Chenan asked.

Shen Wang said, "I dreamed that my wife woke up."

Chu Chenan choked and raised his eyes, "There's...there's something else, why can't I sleep."

"I'm afraid he will come back while I'm asleep, so I can't sleep. He'll be scared if he wakes up and can't find me. I have to wait for him until dawn."

As Chen Wang spoke, he gently stroked the little ceramic cat on the table.

This was something Chu Chenan had made before. The ceramic cat looked cute and ugly, but Chen Wang treated it like a treasure, gave it a layer of protection, and placed it on the coffee table.

Chu Chenan was stunned, Chen Wang's words kept echoing in his mind, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Suddenly I wasn't so nervous anymore.

It was as if everything around had become quiet.

How could he deserve Shen Wang to do this?

Chen Wang is really similar to Xu Moshu in some ways, they both love him in a paranoid way.

"Doctor, tell me," Chen Wang looked at him deeply, "will my wife wake up?"

Chu Chenan looked at his dejected eyes and suddenly lowered his head guiltily.

He hesitated for a moment, still unable to make up his mind, and said, "...I will."

"I also think he will wake up. Thank you, doctor." Chen Wang smiled lightly, his eyes slightly depressed, and said devoutly, ""

As Chu Chenan listened, his soft-hearted nature came back again.

He suddenly felt that Chen Wang was a bit pitiful.

If I hadn't provoked him first, how could he be like this...

The reason why she is so depressed now may be that she has been lonely for too long and has no way to relieve the longing and sadness that have been suppressed in her heart for years, so she treats him as someone she can rely on and confide in.

Moreover, he was 60% similar to the former Chen An, so Chen Wang would inevitably mistake him for Chen An.

But Chen Wang still firmly believes that Chen An, who is lying in the refrigerator, will wake up, so he is still safe for the time being.

Chu Chenan thought about this and got himself out of this complicated circle of thinking.

After he sorted out his thoughts, he was suddenly not as scared as when he first came.

Chen Wang asked, "By the way, doctor, did Dr. Liang have any dispute with you this morning?"

Chu Chenan packed up his medicine box and looked at Chen Wang's depressed eyes. Suddenly he thought of something and asked tentatively, "No, are you familiar with Liang Xu?"

"I'm not familiar with him, but Doctor Liang has been here for two years, and he is the one who delivers medicine to me and my wife most of the time." Chen Wang said, pouring a glass of warm water for Chu Chenan, "What's wrong, doctor?"

"No, nothing." Chu Chenan hesitated for a moment and decided to take a gamble. He asked, "Do you know what the relationship between Peng Longlong and Liang Xu is?"

Chen Wang looked at Chu Chenan's cautious appearance, thinking that he was just like a kitten with weak eyes, who was very likely to be bullied.

His eyes were dim, and he said, "I know."

Chu Chenan opened his peach blossom eyes wide, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and asked, "What is the relationship?"

"Why does the doctor suddenly ask this?" Chen Wang looked at Chu Chenan's moist red lips, suppressed the heat in his heart, and asked.

"Because, out of curiosity." Chu Chen thought for a while, afraid of Chen Wang's suspicion, and added, "Peng Longlong is my friend, I see Liang Xu cares about him very much, so I want to know what the relationship between Liang Xu and him is..."

"Is that so?" Chen Wang stroked his fingertips and said, "Liang Xu is his younger brother."

younger brother? !

Peng Longlong actually has a younger brother.

Chu Chenan finally obtained an important piece of information, and he was very excited.

"Doctor, is there anything else you're curious about?" Chen Wang said sincerely, picking up the cup and taking a sip of water. "I've been here for more than two years, so I know a few things. You can ask me anything, doctor."

Chen Wang found a reason for Chu Chenan.

Chu Chenan just needs to jump into this trap.

Chu Chenan hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "I'm curious about one thing... Do you know why those people jumped off the building?"

"Jumping off a building..." Chen Wang pretended to think, and said, "Doctor, do you think they didn't commit suicide?"

"Yeah." Chu Chenan nodded hurriedly.

He completely fell into the trap of delusion.

He is just curious and gossiping now.

"If the doctor is curious, he can go and check out the surveillance," Chen Wang said again, "Doctor, you may not know that there are invisible surveillance cameras on every floor of the hospital, including on the rooftop."

Chu Chenan raised his eyes, put his hands on his knees, and listened carefully to what Shen Wang said.

"There's a chip on the back of your work badge, which can open the monitoring room."

Chen Wang looked at his round and well-behaved eyes, and his heart softened.

He pretended to be concerned and said, "Of course, I still suggest that the doctor not go. No one has been to the monitoring room for a long time. I don't know if it is still useful. Besides, it would be bad if the doctor was frightened after watching the surveillance."

As Shen Wang spoke, he had already imagined him trembling with fear in his mind.

Moisturized and attractive red lips, pitifully red eye circles, and a weak and soft body.

It must be delicious.

Very tempting.

The more you advise people not to do something, the more it will stimulate their rebellious psychology and curiosity.

Chu Chenan is no exception.

He glanced at the work badge he was wearing and hurriedly packed his medicine box.

"Doctor, are you going to leave? I should go and accompany my wife." Chen Wang smiled and stood up. "Then take care, doctor."

Chu Chenan nodded and left Shen Wang's ward.

He was a little worried.

Even if he found an excuse out of curiosity to ask Chen Wang, he was still a little unsure whether there would be any risks.

Maybe he shouldn't ask.

After all, he is so stupid, and Chen Wang is so smart.

Chen Wang stood at the door, staring at Chu Chenan's leaving back.

Suddenly, the corners of his lips curled up noticeably.

Was his An An curious or did he have to know?

It seems safer to pull it up along the vine by the roots.

After Chu Chenan left the stairs, Chen Wang slowly followed him.

Chu Chenan turned and walked towards the fourth floor of Building A.

There is a tightly closed iron door on the innermost side of the ward corridor on the fourth floor.

This is the only place Chu Chenan has not been to. Maybe the monitoring room is inside.

He picked up the work badge hanging on his chest and attached the iron door sensor to the back.

With a "tick", the iron door automatically slid to the left and opened.

Chu Chenan walked in and was shocked by the scene before him.

The innermost three walls of the monitoring room are all monitoring screens, with two giant data processors placed inside.

Every corner of the hospital can be seen clearly from here.

The monitoring room was tightly closed, and there was even an elevator on the inner wall.

The iron door of the monitoring room seemed unable to be closed, so Chu Chenan had to leave it open. He looked around at the three screens.

In a casual glance, I spotted Lu Chengdong and the head nurse.

They seemed to be kissing in the hallway outside the nurse's office.

It seemed that the head nurse took the initiative first. Her fat hand climbed over Lu Chengdong's arm, and while kissing him, she turned towards the door of the lounge.

Then the head nurse's back was facing the camera.

As soon as Lu Chengdong moved the hand on her back, the hair on the back of her head fell down sparsely, revealing a bare scalp.

The head nurse has been losing a lot of hair these days.

Chu Chenan immediately lowered his head without looking any further, and turned to look for the surveillance screen on the rooftop of Building A.

He studied the operating handle of the data console and after trying five or six times, he finally learned how to adjust the time.

He found the surveillance camera on the rooftop of Building A, gripped the adjustment handle, and began trying to adjust it to yesterday afternoon's time period.

He was so nervous that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. While adjusting the time, he was also afraid that some strange and bloody scene would suddenly appear on the screen.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon and there was no one on the rooftop.

It was 2:30 in the afternoon and there was no one on the rooftop.

Chu Chenan looked at the screen nervously and adjusted it back another fifteen minutes...

2:45 pm.

A figure appeared on the rooftop. The man walked out from the iron gate of the rooftop, wearing a white coat.

Chu Chenan clenched the handle, his palms were sweating as he stared at the screen.

The man had his back to the camera and didn't turn around for a long time. Chu Chenan gritted his teeth and pressed the fast-forward button.

Suddenly, the man turned around and it was Liang Xu.

He lit a cigarette, which was burning to the end.

He pressed the cigarette butt against the railing outside the rooftop and put his hands in the pockets of his white coat.

Took out a sharp dagger.

It really is Liang Xu!

He is the one who started it.

Chu Chenan was both scared and excited, he thought he had completed the mission.

But before the system came out to congratulate him, the screen suddenly went black.

A hideous, bloody face suddenly enlarged and appeared on the screen!

The facial features of this face were shattered by the knife. He was upside down, and a stream of dark red blood flowed from his empty eyes.

He seems to be still alive.

There was a slight movement in the mouth, and the scene was hideous and weird.

Chu Chenan trembled violently and staggered back in fear. He subconsciously wanted to run out of the iron gate.

But as soon as he turned around, the lights in the monitoring room suddenly went out, and the surroundings became terribly dark and silent.

Chu Chenan screamed in fright.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared at the door.

Chu Chenan was so scared that he stepped back and fled in a hurry. He turned towards the elevator door in the monitoring room.

He pressed the button several times, hid inside the door when it opened, and then hurriedly pressed the close button.

Chu Chenan didn’t know where the elevator was going, but at this critical moment of life and death, he didn’t have time to think about it.

He collapsed in the elevator, watching the door about to close.

A pair of large hands suddenly appeared in the crack of the door, and slowly, they opened the elevator door...

Chu Chenan looked at the gradually widening gap in the door and felt panicked.

Is he going to die young?

Suddenly, a white light shone on Chu Chenan.

Chu Chenan saw the face of the person clearly in the dim light.

yes……

Delusion?

"Sorry, doctor, did I scare you? I was a little worried about you, so I came here." After Chen Wang walked into the elevator, the elevator door closed automatically.

He squatted down in front of Chu Chenan and asked gently, "Are you okay?"

Chu Chenan looked at Chen Wang's face, and the fear in his heart suddenly subsided.

He exhaled.

Inexplicably, as soon as Chen Wang arrived, his grievances were instantly magnified.

He pursed his lips, his eye circles gradually turned red, and his eyes looked weak and pitiful.

Chen Wang felt very distressed when he saw this, and he suddenly felt a little regretful for telling Chu Chenan that there was a monitoring room.

I also didn't expect that there would be a sudden power outage in the monitoring room.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have suggested this. You seem very scared." Chen Wang half-knelt in front of him, wanting to go up and hug him to comfort him.

Chu Chenan was about to say something when the elevator suddenly shook, making a sharp sound of iron and stone friction, and began to shake violently.

Chu Chenan fell forward in fright, and Chen Wang took the opportunity to hold him tightly in his arms, his palms gently running down his back, silently comforting him.

The sharp sound of iron and stone rubbing against each other lasted for half a minute, and Chu Chenan felt that he was falling.

He was so scared that he thought he was going to die. He quickly grabbed the hem of Shen Wang's clothes. His eyes were pitifully red. He didn't bother to think too much and said in panic, "Wuwuwu, what should we do? We are going to fall to death."

"Don't be afraid, just hold me tight and you'll be fine." Chen Wang supported Chu Chenan's back and held him tightly against himself.

"But, but we can't get out, wuwu, no one will come to save us..." Chu Chenan pursed his moist red lips, tears stuck to his eyelashes, and leaned his head on Shen Wang's shoulder and whispered, "We are finished."

They leaned close together, feeling each other's warmth.

He was lost in thought but sighed slightly.

He loved this feeling, the feeling of being depended on and embraced by An An.

Very beautiful.

It made him want to hold him in his arms, not wanting to let him go.

"Don't worry, the manager will come to rescue us soon." Chen Wang knew the terrain here very well, so his comfort gradually changed. "The temperature in the elevator will become cold. We have to hold each other tightly to balance our body temperature. Hold me tight."

"Okay," Chu Chenan listened to Shen Wang's words, his little hands grasped the hem of Shen Wang's clothes, his eyes were red and pitiful, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Well, there are also surveillance cameras in the monitoring room, and the managers can see them."

Chen Wang hugged Chu Chenan tightly, looking at Chu Chenan's smart and pitiful eyes. His eyes gradually darkened and his Adam's apple rolled.

Greed and selfishness took over his heart.

He suddenly wanted to stay here with An An for a while longer.

Chu Chenan's face was pressed against Chen Wang's neck, trembling slightly, "When will they come?"

"It will be quick, just wait patiently." Shen Wang said, but his eyes were fixed on his moist red lips.

They waited for who knows how long.

Chu Chenan was hugged so hard that he was sweating, and the sweat on his back soaked his white shirt.

"Doctor, you've been sweating a lot. You'll catch a cold if you keep doing this," Chen Wang pretended to be worried. He took off his black coat and said, "Why don't you put on my coat instead?"

Chu Chenan wanted to raise his hand, but found that his hand was numb from nervousness.

He frowned.

"What's wrong? Doctor, are your hands numb? Let me help you change them." Chen Wang said.
