The doctor watched the man's heavy and slow steps as he entered the examination room bit by bit. After a while, he carried out a woman who was extremely thin and pale without a trace of blood.
The woman was wearing a light-colored sweater, black pencil pants, and a beige coat. Her outfit wasn't bulky, but it wasn't light either.
But the woman in his arms, even with the clothes she was wearing, was so thin that it was frightening. It was hard to imagine what kind of body she had under her clothes, so shriveled.
The man greeted him briefly, then walked away holding the woman in his arms.
His steps were extremely steady, and the person in his arms couldn't feel it at all, so he slept very soundly.
With her head resting in the man's arms, her sleeping face is quiet and peaceful. When the man looks down at her, his eyes are full of tenderness, so gentle, so desirable, it is hard not to be drowned in them.
The doctor sighed deeply. He didn't know what bad things his good friend had done in his previous life to be tortured by God in this life.
The girl he liked pursued him for three years, but in the end, she would rather go to hell to be with the person she loved most than stay in this world with him. After a lot of effort, he met someone who truly loved him and got married. But things developed step by step to what they are now, which is really sad.
I always feel that his future life will not be any easier.
Later, when the man came to him once a week to get medicine, every time he thought of what he said at that time, he always sighed that he was really a crow's mouth, and good things didn't work, but bad things did.
Yu Yan's mental state was not good, not only because she was in a daze, but also because of her sleep.
It feels like I can never wake up, but it also feels like I can never fall asleep again.
Why do I say that? Because each time she falls asleep, she only sleeps for a short time, only half an hour at a time, but she can sleep five to six times a day. She also suffers from insomnia in the middle of the night. She often falls asleep with her eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling. No matter what he says to her, she doesn't respond.
Si Youli sometimes suspected she was pretending to be asleep, but such even breathing was impossible to fake. He said she was really asleep, but often in the middle of her sleep, her breathing would suddenly stop and her eyes would suddenly open. There was a clear mind inside, not like she was asleep at all.
After a long time, he felt that there might be something wrong with his mental state. He was suspicious every day, like a detective, trying to infer what she was thinking and what she wanted to do through her body language and the movements of her hands.
But nine times out of ten, no reasoning could be made, because she didn't want to go anywhere or do anything at all. She just stared at the corner of the wall, the flower pot, or out the window, and sometimes she even forgot to blink.
Feeding her was of no use. She simply wouldn't eat meat and couldn't swallow it. She could only drink porridge mechanically. So the most common thing on the dinner table became porridge, meat porridge, clear porridge, white fungus porridge, glutinous rice porridge, and all kinds of porridge, one after another, almost taking turns.
During this month, they drank almost all the porridge.
He would spit out porridge when he mentioned it, but Yu Yan had no reaction. She drank it when he fed her without any reaction.
When he asked his friend, a psychiatrist, about this, he sighed deeply, as if finding it incredible. "Have you ever considered that she only wants to drink porridge because she's too lazy to chew? Porridge is so good; you can swallow it right away. Other foods require chewing, but not porridge. Of course she's happy with it. I can't believe someone could be this lazy. She's a genius."
Si Youli didn't want to listen to this. He frowned and said in a cold voice: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. She must have other reasons, so she only drinks porridge."
The doctor on the other end of the phone couldn't help but roll his eyes and said speechlessly, "If you really had a solution, you probably wouldn't come to me, a psychiatrist. I guess you went to all the hospitals and didn't get any useful results, so you turned to me as a second choice."
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line.
The doctor rolled his eyes and spoke in a lazy and casual tone. "Well, it sounds like he is in debt as much as he can be."
"If you want to ask for help, you have to act like you're asking for help. You can't beg me and still think what I said is wrong. I know you're protective of your child, but you can't be so protective of him. You can't tell right from wrong."
"Her mind is completely muddled right now. She has no idea what she's doing. Everything has returned to its original state. Of course, she'll do whatever's most convenient. She definitely doesn't want to chew with any effort. As long as she doesn't starve herself, she won't care."
Si Youli thought this statement was a bit ridiculous, but he really couldn't think of any other possibility.
The hospital did all the tests it could and found no other major problems except malnutrition. As for why he only drank porridge and didn't eat anything else, the doctor couldn't explain.
He had no other choice but to come to him. It was difficult for him to drink porridge, but if he drank porridge all the time, he would not get enough nutrition. With her small body, she would collapse sooner or later if she continued to drink porridge.
But he didn't expect that this would be the case. He only wanted to drink porridge because he was lazy.
"What should we do then?"
In the end, she chose to believe him, with a hint of frustration in her tone.
The doctor smiled, stretched out his voice, and spoke nonchalantly, "As for what to do, that's easy. Just don't prepare food for her to chew. Pork rib soup, fish soup, chicken soup, aren't they all quite nutritious? Just feed them to her. And then pair it with porridge, which should be enough nutrition. Pair it with vegetable juice, and there shouldn't be any big problems."
"Oh, if you really want her to eat, you can chew it and feed it to her mouth. After all, they are husband and wife, you won't mind, right? Maybe it can even promote their relationship. How great, hahahahahahahahahaha."
In the end, he couldn't help but burst into laughter at his own misfortune.
His laughter successfully made the man on the other end of the phone look displeased.
He hung up the phone with gritted teeth.
When I returned to the bedroom, Yu Yan had just woken up. This was the third time she had slept that day, and it was clearly not even lunch time.
After she woke up, she didn't make a fuss and looked very well-behaved. She sat at the head of the bed so gracefully, her eyes blank, and no one knew what she was looking at.
Seeing her like this, Si Youli always wanted to know what she was thinking and what state her brain was in.
But in the end, no one came to answer such doubts, and no one knew what her current condition was.
