"Xiao Ye, do you know something?" Zou Hanqiu realized that Ye Qingqing was not joking, and his heart sank.
His biggest worry was his friend's health, and he shared Ye Qingqing's opinion that Zhang Zhengrong must be sick; otherwise, why would his body be getting weaker day by day?
"Yes, I know some things, but I can't say. Mr. Zhang's illness is very serious. If he doesn't receive treatment soon, it might..."
Although Ye Qingqing didn't finish speaking, Zou Hanqiu and Zhang Zhengrong understood, their expressions changed drastically, and they exclaimed in unison, "Will we die?"
"Yes, that's why I said it's very serious, Mr. Zhang, please don't take it lightly." Ye Qingqing said solemnly.
Zhang Zhengrong swallowed hard. He didn't want to die at all. Life was so wonderful. There were so many places he hadn't been to, so many delicious foods he hadn't tried. He had promised to stay with Andy for life, and he hadn't done any of those things. He couldn't bear to die.
"What exactly is my illness?" Zhang Zhengrong still didn't understand.
Ye Qingqing frowned. In fact, she felt that simple depression could not explain Zhang Zhengrong's illness. After Zhang Zhengrong died in her previous life, many people analyzed the cause of his death. The most reliable explanation was that Zhang Zhengrong was too immersed in his role. The peak of his acting career was winning an international award. He played the role so well that no one has surpassed him to this day.
But that character's life was tragic; he could never have his lover and died alone. Everyone felt that Zhang Zhengrong must have identified with that character. Even though nearly ten years have passed since the movie, he still couldn't get over it.
Being obsessed with a tragic character is naturally bad for both mental and physical health. In addition, Zhang Zhengrong has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and the pressure must be enormous. He would definitely suffer from depression to some extent. The combination of depression and being unable to get out of the role led to his tragedy.
Ye Qingqing didn't have a good solution either. This kind of psychological illness is the most difficult to cure, but a mental illness requires a mental cure, and the one who tied the knot must untie it.
Zhang Zhengrong has to rely on himself to get through this.
Retiring from acting is certainly not realistic, and it would not help his illness at all. Ye Qingqing thought for a moment and then said, "You have a mental illness. You have never been able to get out of the role of Qingyi, so you subconsciously live according to his way, but you are not aware of it and even feel that you are living happily."
"Impossible. I've acted in so many dramas, how could I not be able to move on? You're questioning my professionalism," Zhang Zhengrong said unhappily.
Zou Hanqiu frowned, deep in thought.
Ye Qingqing patiently asked, "Then let me ask you, sometimes when you're on a bustling street, do you feel like you're floating, living in a different world from the other pedestrians?"
Zhang Zhengrong's expression changed slightly. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still nodded. He had felt this way many times before.
"And in the dead of night, you suddenly don't want the day to break, you just want to stay in darkness forever, and you even look forward to the end of the world, because once it's light, you'll have to deal with a lot of people you hate, and you despise them."
...
The questions Ye Qingqing asked were actually things that Zhang Zhengrong's relatives said in interviews after his death in his previous life. They were Zhang Zhengrong's own feelings to his relatives, especially the two years before his death, when he suffered a lot.
Zhang Zhengrong's face grew paler and paler. Every word Ye Qingqing said struck a chord deep within him, evoking feelings he often had. Had he really failed to move on?
Zou Hanqiu gently patted his friend on the shoulder and asked, "Is his condition still treatable?"
