“I pulled my hand outwards from the door frame to avoid being pinched.
This incident made me very sad. I didn’t understand why my sister, who had been so kind to me since I was a child, would treat me like this. I also didn’t know how to tell my mother, who had worked hard all day, that my sister didn’t want to come out for dinner.
Mom saw my embarrassment. She must have heard our argument just now. "Xiao Le, it's okay. Qingqing might be too tired from work. Let's not disturb her."
After a while, Dad came back with two bouquets of flowers. He finally knocked on my sister's door. My sister just glanced at Dad and took the flowers in.
Dad looked very lost. He just stood at the door and didn't ask my sister why.
Everyone in the family was very sad that night and no one spoke at the dinner table.
The next day, when I went out for a morning run, I saw the flowers my father gave me thrown into the trash can in the living room. I was afraid that my parents would be sad if they saw it, so I took it away secretly.
I thought my sister's behavior was just caused by a bad mood and would pass in a short time, but I didn't expect her behavior to become more and more strange.
She began to become silent and withdrawn. She would stay in her room every day after coming home. She would not communicate with her family during meals, and would show a look of disgust to anyone who accidentally touched her.
The atmosphere at home was very depressing during those days, and the smiles on my parents' faces disappeared. The warm harbor we used to have turned into a cage.
I couldn't stand this atmosphere, so while my parents were away, I decided to have a big fight with her and make things clear."
"Zhou Yuqing, you're out of your mind. Can you please stop bringing your work emotions home? We haven't done anything to offend you. Who are you showing off to with such a stern face all day long?"
Hearing her brother's question, Zhou Yuqing slowly turned around, put the hot water she had just poured on the table, and then picked up the fruit knife on the table and gestured in front of his face.
"Of course I'm showing it to you. If you don't like me, just kick me out. If you can't be cruel, just accept the trouble I bring."
As she spoke, she brought the knife closer to his face: "You said that if I cut your face with a knife today, who will my parents help when they come back? Will they help you send me to jail, or will they ask you to keep it a secret for the sake of family harmony? How about we give it a try?"
Looking at my sister's vicious eyes, I knew that she was really capable of doing such a thing now. In order not to anger her, I turned around and wanted to leave.
"What? Are you giving in already? Where's the momentum you had when you questioned me just now?" Zhou Yuqing stepped forward to grab her brother, but was thrown away.
The inertia of the force made her take a step back, accidentally hitting the table. Perhaps the severe pain woke her up, and she looked at her brother with confusion.
Zhou Yuqing looked at the knife in her hand and her brother glaring at her: "Xiao Le, why am I holding a knife? Why do you think I look so angry?"
Seeing that her expression didn't seem fake, I slowly approached her and asked, "Sister, do you still remember what happened these past few days?"
She looked at her brother speechlessly: "Zhou Yule, you are joking with your sister now. I just got home and it's been a few days. It's only an hour, okay? Didn't mom say she made a lot of delicious food? Are you trying to trick me away and eat it all for yourself?"
Seeing that she wasn't joking, I turned on my phone and put it in front of her: "Sister, what are you talking about? Today is Wednesday, and it's been five days since the Friday you mentioned."
Zhou Yuqing took the phone in disbelief, confirming that her brother was not lying: "How is this possible? I just remembered that I just got home, how come five days have passed?"
I realized something was wrong and asked tentatively, "Sister, are you under too much pressure and have psychological problems?"
Zhou Yuqing shook her head: "I'm mentally healthy. Please tell me briefly what happened in the past few days."
Listening to her brother's story, Zhou Yuqing was so anxious that she almost cried. She couldn't believe she had done such a thing to her family: "How could I do this to you? Are my parents very angry with me?"
Seeing her sister so sad, Zhou Yule stepped forward to comfort her: "Sister, I think you really have a mental illness, otherwise I will take you to see a psychiatrist."
Zhou Yuqing sat on the sofa without saying a word. She kept recalling what happened on her way home. A suspicious figure appeared in her mind. She was about to tell her brother when a burst of pressure came and she fell asleep again.
Huang Daxian, who had regained the body, smiled with satisfaction: She was finally driven away. I didn't expect that this little girl had someone with expert help.
She looked at Zhou Yule who was concerned about her: "Who told you to hold my hand? I feel sick when I see you. Stay away from me from now on."
Zhou Yule looked at her sister whose temperament had changed drastically, and became more certain of her thoughts.
Su Yan saw him pause and asked, "Later, what made you think your sister was possessed by evil spirits?"
Zhou Yule was stunned: "Master, how did you know that I believed my sister was possessed by evil spirits, and not suffering from a mental illness?"
Su Yan: "If she had a mental illness, you would take her to the hospital instead of coming here to see me."
Zhou Yule bowed and said, "Master, you are very smart. My sister told me this herself."
"After I determined that my sister had mental problems, I told my parents my suspicions as soon as they came home. At first, they didn't believe me."
"Xiao Le, I know you're worried about your sister, but you can't say things like that. If others find out, it will be bad for your sister's reputation.
Your sister is just under a lot of pressure at work. Yesterday, her boss praised her for her noticeable improvement in work efficiency. She'll just have to get used to this kind of life."
Zhou's father and mother were also very worried about their daughter's changes, and they also wondered if she had a psychological problem.
For this reason, Zhou's father went to his daughter's workplace and asked old friends about her recent situation. He found that apart from being cold towards her colleagues, there were no other changes in her recently, and she was not unkind at home.
After getting this answer, they gave up the idea. After all, people with mental illnesses cannot control their emotions, so how could they show two different faces to others at work and at home?
"Seeing my parents clearly didn't believe me, I wanted to show them the security camera in the living room, but I was afraid my sister's weird behavior would scare them, so I decided to keep it a secret from them and take my sister to the hospital first.
Later, I never found an opportunity. My sister's expression became colder and colder. She had a sullen face every day and didn't respond when the family members spoke to her.
And her taste has also changed. My sister, who used to dislike eating meat, now loves meat and won’t eat without it.
The most frightening thing is that she always likes to look in the mirror alone and smile at herself.
I was afraid that if my sister continued like this, something big would happen, so I was ready to confront my parents, but when I woke up in the middle of the night, my sister was standing at the head of my bed.
