Dr. Yang returned shortly afterward, accompanied by a man.
"Mr. Ye, this is my brother, Yang Zhao."
"Hello, Dr. Yang."
Ye Linyan sized up the doctor named Yang Zhao. He looked to be around thirty years old, with a refined and elegant appearance, neat short hair, wearing a white tracksuit, and carrying a black backpack on his shoulder.
"Hello, Mr. Ye."
"Please have a seat. I'm so sorry to bother you even though I'm on vacation."
Ye Linyan said very politely.
“It’s okay, I’m just sitting here anyway. My brother’s birthday is coming up, and he wants a new car.”
Yang Zhao glanced at Ye Linyan, his gaze lingering on his wound:
"Could you briefly tell me about the patient's condition?"
"To be precise, I don't know if he really has psychological problems, but he has been acting very strangely lately..."
"Does he have violent tendencies?"
Yang Zhao interrupted Ye Linyan and asked.
"A little bit, I guess."
“He gave you that injury,” Yang Zhao said, pointing to the wound on Ye Linyan’s forehead.
Ye Linyan nodded.
"Deep down, you don't believe he would actually hurt you."
Ye Linyan turned her gaze to Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao continued, "You two are... lovers?"
"I guess so."
Yang Zhao smiled when he saw Ye Linyan's gaze shift elsewhere.
"Take me to see the patient."
"He's sleeping." Ye Linyan had just checked, and Xu Nuo was indeed still asleep.
"It's okay, I'll wait for him to wake up."
Yang Zhao stood up, then, as if remembering something, turned to Ye Lin and said:
"By the way, I charge by the hour, but my brother's car is charged separately!"
"As long as your medical skills are excellent, this is not a problem."
"I need to determine first whether his problem is psychological. If it is, I'll treat him, and you'll pay! If not, we'll charge by the hour!"
"Reasonable."
Wang Mingwu led Yang Zhao to a guest room on the second floor.
As soon as Ye Linyan sat down, Yang Zhao's younger brother opened the first-aid kit, taking things out as he spoke:
"Mr. Ye, that's just how my brother talks, please forgive him!"
"As long as he has real skills, that's fine."
"Don't worry about that, my brother has won awards..."
Ye Linyan finished stitching up the wound amidst Dr. Yang's somewhat noisy chatter.
There's nothing seriously wrong with my abdomen. Dr. Yang examined it and found no internal organs were damaged. The pain should subside in a couple of days.
Ye Linyan found him too noisy, so she went to the study and waited quietly for Yang Zhao.
He simultaneously hoped that all of Xu Nuo's unusual behavior was due to a problem in his mind, while also hoping that Xu Nuo had no problem.
Two thoughts kept tug-of-war in his mind...
——————————————————————
Ye Linyan waited from around 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. before Yang Zhao finally came out of Xu Nuo's room.
Wang Mingwu led Yang Zhao directly into Ye Linyan's study.
Looking at the untouched food on the desk, Wang Mingwu put it away.
"Dr. Yang, how is he?"
Ye Linyan had been waiting impatiently and asked directly.
Yang Zhao sat opposite Ye Linyan and shrugged:
"Unfortunately, moderate depression."
"Depression? He..."
“Moderate depression isn’t so bad. The worst thing is that I’ve discovered it’s progressing, and based on my experience, I’m sure it will progress faster than others!”
Is it serious?
"Moderate depression comes in many forms and isn't considered dangerous! However, if it develops into severe depression, it becomes very dangerous!"
Yang Zhao paused for a moment, then continued:
“There is a very clear line between moderate and severe depression. If he has suicidal tendencies, then it can be determined that he has developed severe depression!”
Ye Linyan's hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly.
"Mr. Ye, he is very wary of me, so this is all we can do for today. If you need, I can come again tomorrow."
Ye Linyan thought for a moment and asked:
"So, is his problem in that area related to depression?"
"Depression may cause decreased libido, but it won't cause erectile dysfunction," so I don't think his condition is related to depression.
Yang Zhao thought for a moment, then continued:
"Today was my first time communicating with him, and he was very wary. But judging from today, he doesn't seem to have any psychological aversion to this. I suggest he get checked for any physical illnesses."
Ye Linyan nodded: "Then, what can I do to help him recover?"
"Talk to him, accompany him to do what he wants to do, but you may not be able to."
"What's the meaning?"
Ye Linyan looked up at Yang Zhao.
"He's very resistant to you; subconsciously, he doesn't want to talk to you."
"You don't want to talk to me? What's the reason?"
Ye Linyan recalled that Xu Nuo had indeed been unwilling to talk to her since he returned.
"Mr. Ye, I am not a god."
Yang Zhao smiled:
"But my initial assessment is that his depression might be related to you. He doesn't want to talk to you, and he doesn't want to stay here; this feeling is very strong!"
"My personal suggestion is that if you really want him to get better and not develop into severe depression, you can first change his environment, such as his family, friends, places he likes to be, etc."
.......................................................................
Ye Linyan and Yang Zhao talked for a long time. After seeing Yang Zhao off, Ye Linyan locked himself in his study until night.
Yang Zhao's words kept swirling in his mind. Xu Nuo's depression might have originated from him. Xu Nuo was very resistant to him, didn't want to talk to him, and didn't want to stay here!
Where can he go?
Ye Linyan recalled Nan Qing'an's phone call: "I promised you, but you won't survive here!"
Could it be because of this?
The phone rang. Ye Linyan was annoyed and didn't intend to answer, but seeing it was an international number, he thought for a moment and picked it up anyway.
"Hello?"
"I am a night owl!"
"What's up?"
"Did you keep the promise?"
"exist."
"Have him call me back. I need to talk to him!"
After listening to the busy tone of the call being disconnected, Ye Linyan thought for a long time before finally making a decision in his heart.
The call was dialed back:
"A promise? You replied pretty quickly!"
Hearing Night Owl's hearty laughter on the other end of the phone, Ye Lin said:
"It's me."
Mr. Night Owl paused for a moment:
"You wanted to see me? What's up?"
Ye Linyan paused, took a deep breath, exhaled, and then spoke:
“Xu Nuo is sick, and the doctor said he needs a change of environment. I want to send him out of the country.”
"What illness is it? Can't it be treated in China?"
Night Owl threw down his cigarette on the other end of the phone and asked:
"You mean, send him here to me?"
"Hmm, I don't trust other places."
Ye Linyan felt that Ye Mao's place was the place Xu Nuo wanted to go, and Ye Mao, his childhood friend, was also cheerful and talkative, which might really help his condition.
"I won't take it! Throw it wherever you want!"
Night Cat deduced from Ye Linyan's words that he might not know Xu Nuo was addicted to drugs, and deliberately said:
"As long as he doesn't kick his drug addiction, he can forget about coming back here!"
Ye Linyan was stunned by what he heard. He had just been wondering why Night Cat would say "throw it wherever you want," but the next second, an even more bombshell statement completely left him speechless...
After listening to the phone for a long time without any response, Night Cat was certain that Ye Linyan genuinely didn't know before she spoke.
This kid keeps things so secret, bottling everything up inside. But he needs to let Ye Linyan know what Xu Nuo has been through, how he's risked his life for him several times...
"What did you say? Drug addiction? What drug addiction? Explain yourself!"
Ye Linyan's hand trembled slightly as he held the phone, repeatedly pressing Night Cat for answers.
"You don't know? Then let me tell you, I'll start from the beginning..."
