Donating the library under a false name to reveal Gu Quyu
"Who else could it be?" Tu Xinyue widened her eyes in disbelief. "No way? Uncle?"
Yes, only this guess fits Gu Quyu's character, and it could be her real purpose to conceal. Then Gu Quyu should suspect that Tu Xinyue saw the medicine bottle, or even that she already knew this fact - after all, she is a VIP guest of that hotel and can enjoy many conveniences. Xue Jiuyue stared into Tu Xinyue's big eyes, "Didn't you also say that Gu Quyu's love for Mr. Qian is something she can't hide. And I can only watch."
The two sentences combined had many implications, but Tu Xinyue understood. "Are you saying that Sister Xiaoyu deliberately combined these pieces of information to make you and me guess that she wanted to conceal her relationship with Xinru and ignore her interactions with the uncle that night? No, that's impossible. You didn't see him. He was so drunk that even putting you on his bed wouldn't have helped. He was completely unconscious."
"Then I don't know. All of this is just speculation. Any possibility is possible."
"Then I will pay more attention to it in the future. As long as he doesn't steal your boyfriend, that's fine. Sister Yue, do you have a boyfriend?" Tu Xinyue's interest shifted quickly.
"In my situation, how can I have a boyfriend? By your standards, I'm not even a male friend."
The analysis was very logical, but after seeing Tu Xinyue off, Xue Jiuyue went straight to the backstage to pick up his phone.
"Xiaoyue." The phone beeped less than three times, and Liu Che's gentle voice instantly calmed Xue Jiuyue.
"I want to come see you."
Liu Che happily agreed without asking why, "Okay, I'm home. I can come to see you."
"Wait for me, see you later."
For convenience, Liu Che lived in the office suite, with a reception room and hypnosis room in the front and his living quarters in the back.
It was Xue Jiuyue's first time here at night. The lights in the house were not very bright, and it seemed dim and lonely.
"Xiaoyue, sit down." Liu Che stood up after hearing the voice. "We have pure milk. Do you want to drink it hot or just drink it directly?"
"Stop drinking now, I have something to ask you."
"Okay, then sit down and talk."
"Xiao Ming, I want to ask you about someone." Xue Jiuyue tried to soften her tone.
Liu Che raised his right hand and stroked his hair. "Well, go ahead."
"Is there a guest named Gu Quyu among you?"
"This, I..." Liu Che hesitated for a rare moment.
Xue Jiuyue had the answer in her mind. Fortunately, she had analyzed it with Tu Xinyue for so long before. The brilliance of rationality still overcame her impulse. "Why is she your guest? Why did she come?"
"I cannot disclose the information. This is professional ethics."
"Can't you tell me too?"
"I, I..." Liu Che spoke incoherently.
"That's right, I'm just a guest."
"No, Xiaoyue, strictly speaking, she's not my guest." Under the intense pressure, Liu Che finally found a solution to convince himself, "About three or four months ago, Director Gao brought her here..."
On a morning without an appointment, Liu Che sat quietly in his room listening to the radio until two sets of footsteps came closer and closer, reaching the door.
Liu Che stood up and recognized that one of the footsteps was Director Gao.
Sure enough, Director Gao’s voice came immediately.
"Doctor Liu, this is Miss Gu Quyu, my client. She suffers from insomnia. I've been treating her for a while, and it's been somewhat effective, but not completely. She wants to try hypnosis, and I recommend you."
"Hello, Dr. Liu." A pleasant female voice came, probably from a young woman.
"Hello, Miss Gu." Liu Che politely returned the greeting, then turned to Director Gao and said gently, "Director Gao, your level is far higher than mine. There is no need to recommend me. Besides, I cannot see what you know."
"Doctor Liu, please don't be so polite. I know your skills, and Miss Gu also knows your situation. How about this, why don't you try to treat Miss Gu once, and then make a decision?"
"Oh well."
Liu Che's description of his memory paused here, "Then what?" Xue Jiuyue couldn't help but ask.
"Then I realized she didn't trust me at all. She was always doubting my skills and kept asking about the patients I treated. At first, she asked about the number of patients, but later she gradually asked about the conditions of the female patients, what symptoms they had, how I treated them, and what the results were."
"And you certainly didn't say anything, right, Xiao Ming?"
"Of course. It's my duty to keep secrets for my guests. I would rather give up her as a guest than disclose other people's situations. Reputation is as important as life." Liu Che said seriously.
"So you told me about her situation?"
Liu Che smiled contentedly and said, "She's not my guest, she's Director Gao's. And I don't know her secret at all."
"How do you say it?"
"Perhaps she only came that one time because she thought I wasn't good enough. And when I hypnotized her that day, I didn't get any valuable information. I just felt like she was under a lot of pressure." After explaining this, Liu Che suddenly realized something. He tensed up instantly, his gentle voice becoming hurried. "Could she be trying to find out about you? Who is she? Will she be any harm to you?"
Seeing Liu Che's nervousness, Xue Jiuyue suddenly remembered Lin Yiyi's words that day - how could you see him so nervous? - So this is the sweet taste.
Afraid that Liu Che would worry, Xue Jiuyue quickly came up with a white lie, "It's okay, Gu Quyu is a friend of a friend, and we've met a few times. She won't hurt me. I've always been curious about how she knew about my condition. Today I suddenly learned that she was also receiving treatment for insomnia here, so I want to know if it was my friend who told her about my condition, or if she heard it from you."
"It must have been your friend who told you, because few of us here have access to your medical records. And we doctors are obligated to maintain confidentiality."
"Not necessarily. Then who else can be exposed to my condition?"
"Doctor Li, you were initially treated by her, so she understands your condition. But she probably won't leak any information."
In fact, when Mei Rugu told her about Xue Jiuyue's situation, she also suspected Li Jingzi or Qian Jianjun, but now she is more inclined to Gu Quyu, her "cousin", "Lan, it shouldn't be."
Hearing Xue Jiuyue's unsteady tone, Liu Che explained: "It can't be Doctor Li. Even if she let it slip, she will admit it voluntarily. Just like she apologized to you last time."
"You're quite protective of her..." Xue Jiuyue muttered softly and then asked, "Then is there anyone else?"
"Besides Doctor Li, there's also Director Gao!"
"Director Gao?"
"Have you forgotten about the camera in my hypnosis room? Normal hypnosis sessions are recorded. Since it's inconvenient for me, Director Gao always helps me export the videos. Until later you said there's no need for recording."
"I haven't forgotten. The video information should be very limited. I remember that once I knew there was a video, I felt unsafe and it was difficult to enter the hypnotic state." Xue Jiuyue looked at the crescent mark on the back of Liu Che's right hand and added: "And I trust you."
Liu Che's smile revealed his inner joy. He seemed to enjoy it for a while before continuing, "But Director Gao can also see your medical records."
"Can he see?"
"Yes. Originally, I wrote your medical records by hand based on the recordings, and no one had ever reviewed them. But about three or four months ago, our center switched to an electronic system, and all medical records are now electronic files. Besides the attending physician, the director also has access to the electronic files."
"Did you ask someone to input it for you?"
"No, I typed it in myself. Our system has a voice function. You can control the software with your voice, and you can also type in data with your voice. It's as fast as speaking, very fast."
"Is this function only available using your software?" Xue Jiuyue suddenly became interested in something else.
Liu Che subconsciously stroked his forehead with his right hand. "Yes, you can only use our software. Otherwise, I can play games with you online."
"Xiao Ming, you still remember it? Don't worry, it should be available soon." Xue Jiuyue was a little disappointed but still comforted Liu Che.
Originally, Xue Jiuyue had a certain judgment and went to Liu Che just to seek final peace of mind, but she did not expect to receive unexpected news that brought more doubts.
The suspicions about Gu Quyu weren't important now. Regardless of the process, her purpose was clear, and with Tu Xinyue watching, she wouldn't lose control. But there was another suspicion. As soon as Xue Jiuyue left Liu Che's yard, she immediately logged on to her phone to see if "Spit Star" was there.
"Hello, Miss Yue, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"I ordered the wrong thing. I'll drive now and chat back."
Xue Jiuyue calculated the entire journey. From the time she left Liu Che's room to now in the car, it should have only been five minutes. It seemed she was still late to log in. The greeting from "Spit Star" didn't sound unusual. If Liu Che was "Spit Star," why didn't he admit it?
Looking back on his time chatting with "Spit Star," he learned many secrets and inner thoughts that even Liu Che didn't know, and he became more aware of his true feelings for Liu Che. He kept him happy almost every day, helped him through many sleepless nights, and comforted him many times when he felt disappointed and upset.
Was Liu Che trying to change his identity and provide deeper assistance and companionship? If that were the case, Xue Jiuyue wouldn't blame him, but would be moved by his good intentions. However, Xue Jiuyue was still somewhat aware of the cutting-edge developments in technology. Although mobile phones now had screen readers and many games had accessibility plug-ins, playing cards was still a challenge.
Deeply conflicted, Xue Jiuyue returned home and went online again.
No matter how much she tried, the "spitting star" disappeared without a trace. But in the end, the "spitting star" took out another poem to show off his literary talent.
"Even the light wine of the quail sky cannot dispel my sorrows; I wake up from my dream and find myself in the guest house. A graceful jade shadow is like a hook on the moon, and the charming voice is half on my pillow in the wind.
The stars are already dim, but the tears are only just beginning to thicken. Can we meet tomorrow night, drunken? It’s already twelve hours, and the new hatred is still the same as the old one.
Although Xue Jiuyue now had a growing feeling that "Spit Star" was Liu Che, the mood expressed in the lyrics was far different from Liu Che's, further fueling Xue Jiuyue's doubts. Aren't disappointments and surprises the spice of ordinary life? If you can't figure it out, just let it go. The truth will eventually come out, just like the daily arrival of ginkgo leaves.
But today, when I received the ginkgo leaves, there was an extra package. The address was the same mountain primary school where Xue Jiuyue had sent the books before.
When I opened the box, I found a stack of white papers inside. Some were letters, some were drawings, and some were origami. They were all expressions of gratitude from the children in the mountainous area. They thanked Xue Jiuyue for bringing them books and so many gifts.
At first, Xue Jiuyue was moved to tears, but as she watched, doubts began to creep in. Her tiny efforts didn't seem to match the gratitude the children were giving her. Finally, at the bottom of the box, there was a large, sealed envelope.
Inside was a CD and a thank-you letter from the principal.
The principal thanked Xue Jiuyue for funding the construction of a library and classrooms for this mountain primary school, and for donating a large number of books and computers. The CD contained video footage of the library and classrooms.
This is definitely a mistake! Although thinking so, Xue Jiuyue still went to the computer in the backstage to open the CD.
A brand new three-story building, with three large gilded characters on its exterior, reads "Zhiyue Building." Inside, the classrooms are spacious and bright, fully equipped with desks and chairs. The library boasts dozens of shelves of diverse books and hundreds of neatly arranged computers. Finally, a wall dedicated to the building's history and the reason for its name, "Zhiyue Building," serves as a tribute to and commemoration of its sponsor, Ms. Xue Jiuyue, and also references the Zen Buddhist text "Zhiyuelu," which posits that knowledge and truth are the moon. The library and its books point the way for children, leaving them to explore on their own.
