Chapter 40 Climbing the High Branch
Jiang Zhi looked at the other person quietly.
He was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Come with me."
The doctor turned around and walked forward without looking back.
Jiang Zhi stood there without moving.
The fingers hanging at his sides were slightly curled.
Until I heard the doctor add another sentence.
"Miss Ming said she would come to see you in person later."
Jiang Zhi's eyes moved slightly.
Then he slowly took steps to catch up.
After all, Mingzhu has helped him so many times.
I have to thank her in person after all.
"I gave you a quick initial checkup last night."
The doctor's voice came from the front.
"Your mental state requires professional intervention and medication, and a final assessment must be completed now."
"besides,"
The doctor paused and glanced sideways at the thin figure walking alongside him.
"You're still a little malnourished."
This sentence succeeded in causing Jiang Zhi's footsteps to pause slightly.
He subconsciously touched the prominent joints on his wrist.
Jiang Zhi followed the doctor through the corridor.
When I arrived at the clinic, there was a simple wooden sign hanging on the door.
Psychological counseling room.
The doctor pushed open the heavy wooden door.
The warm sunshine that blows in my face is just right.
The entire space is dominated by light wood and beige tones.
There are several pots of green plants growing well on the terrace outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
These decorations will inadvertently create a comfortable and safe environment for people who come here.
The doctor's large solid wood desk was polished to a shine.
In the display cabinet against the wall.
Various academic trophies and qualification certificates are neatly arranged.
"Please close the door."
The doctor said without turning his head.
The tone was so familiar that they didn't seem like strangers meeting for the first time.
But an old friend who has known each other for many years.
As the door was gently closed.
The clinic suddenly fell into silence.
Only the shallow breathing of the two people could be heard.
The doctor sat down on the swivel chair, then opened the thick medical record book at hand and began to read.
"Sit down."
Jiang Zhigang sat down in the armchair opposite.
The doctor raised his head and looked at him.
"Jiang Zhi."
I don't know why.
The moment the doctor called my name.
Jiang Zhi's back began to tense unconsciously.
He has not seen a psychiatrist.
I'm not quite sure about the consultation process.
But that gaze was too sharp.
Jiang Zhi hated the feeling of being exposed.
This would give him the illusion that his whole body was being cut open.
Revealing the most naked inner part.
The discomfort crawled all over my body like ants.
"Have you ever had suicidal thoughts?"
The problem came unexpectedly.
Very insightful.
But the doctor was surprised.
Jiang Zhi actually shook his head slightly.
He didn't think about dying.
He wants to live more than anyone else.
After the doctor looked at Jiang Zhi's eyes again with extra care, he was stunned.
He has seen the desperate and powerless eyes of countless patients with mental illnesses.
But it was the first time in such empty and numb eyes.
Seeing such a strong desire to survive.
"OK."
The doctor nodded.
Then he lowered his head and wrote something in the medical record.
After finishing writing, he apologized to Jiang Zhi.
"Sorry, I was prejudiced just now."
"Now let's continue."
"Can you describe the last time you had a breakdown?"
"What kind of images appear in your mind when you can't sleep? Please describe them."
"Have you ever tried asking others for help?"
“What’s your first reaction when someone is nice to you?”
“Imagine your life five years from now. What kind of images will you see there?”
......
The doctor's questions were all routine.
Including but not limited to.
Sleep conditions, mood swings, past experiences, etc.
Jiang Zhi lowered his eyelashes and answered every question.
Although some questions would cause him to fall into a brief silence.
Or show resistance
But overall it's pretty cooperative.
"Okay, thank you very much for your cooperation."
The doctor fell silent after he finished speaking.
The only sound in the clinic was the sound of the pen writing.
The doctor filled the medical record with densely packed notes.
Finally, he tore off a prescription and handed it to Jiang Zhi.
"Go to the pharmacy and get the medicine."
Jiang Zhi's body stiffened for a moment before he slowly reached out and took it.
The doctor spoke again: "Come back for a follow-up in two weeks."
Jiang Zhi looked down at the flamboyant handwriting on the prescription.
Silently shook his head.
He has no money.
Then he turned and left.
The doctor crossed his fingers and placed them on the table.
He saw Jiang Zhi's refusal.
But his eyes were still gentle.
She also gave Jiang Zhi a soothing smile.
Mingzhu arranged for him to treat Jiang Zhi.
It was just a notification, not an inquiry.
Jiang Zhi’s personal wish.
It was not within his consideration.
When the follow-up visit time comes, someone will bring him over.
Jiang Zhigang pushed open the door of the clinic.
Two bodyguards in suits and ties came over immediately.
Jiang Zhi's fingers froze as he was about to crumple up the prescription and throw it away.
One of the bodyguards caught sight of the prescription in his hand and snatched it away without a word.
He said to the other bodyguard, "I'll go get the medicine. You take Mr. Jiang to see the young lady immediately."
The other person made a "please" gesture to Jiang Zhi and spoke seriously.
"The lady is already waiting for you."
Jiang Zhi watched the prescription being taken away.
Before I could open my mouth to stop him.
The bodyguard who came to get the medicine had already left quickly.
Mingzhu just sat down on the sofa in the VIP lounge.
The dean came over in person.
"Ms. Ming, long time no see"
The dean put on an attentive smile and handed Jiang Zhi's physical examination report with both hands.
"It's so rare that you come here in person..."
The bodyguard raised his hand to stop the dean from continuing with the polite words.
Then he took the report from the dean and handed it to Mingzhu.
The dean stopped talking awkwardly, rubbed his hands and stood aside.
Mingzhu opened the report and quickly browsed through the summaries.
Apart from some mild anemia and malnutrition problems.
Other physical conditions are within normal range.
The bodyguard at the side took a half step forward, slightly sideways, and made a gesture of seeing the guest off: "Dean, please."
There was a trained sense of oppression in his voice.
The smile on the dean's face froze.
He glanced at the bodyguard's bulging muscles outlined under his suit as he slightly tilted his body.
The dean bowed to Mingzhu and didn't dare to speak anymore.
He left the lounge quietly.
The dean had just left the lounge.
He ran into Jiang Zhi who was brought here by bodyguards.
"well..."
The dean couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, touching his increasingly thinning hair.
It seems like I suddenly understood that hot word on the Internet.
Beauty is justice.
The dean looked at Jiang Zhi's back.
I couldn't help but smack my lips again.
How beautiful the eldest daughter of the Ming family is.
Her skin is as white as cream, and her eyes are bright and her teeth are white.
Not to mention such a prominent family background.
Watching Jiang Zhi being taken into the lounge.
"This kid..." The dean touched his chin, "I'm afraid he's going to reach the top in one step."
Then he shook his head again gently.
He straightened his white coat and walked towards his office.
