He walked around the shards of glass on the ground and walked toward her.
"Bai Xiaoruo, what are you doing now? Is it fun to cause trouble?"
Hearing Xian Mingyu's voice, the closed space in her heart suddenly opened up to him. She stopped sobbing, lowered her hands from her head, and looked up at Xian Mingyu standing in front of her. "They...are they all gone?"
Her mind was still reeling from the terrifying laughter she had just heard; the group of girls at school were surrounding her, constantly mocking her, and she was hallucinating.
"Who? Bai Xiaoruo, I think you're quite ill. There's only the two of us in this room, besides you. How am I supposed to know who you're talking about?"
She gradually lowered her guard, stood up, took his hand, and tears streamed down her face. "Xian Mingyu, please don't leave me alone, okay? I'll listen to everything you say, I'll do whatever you ask, please don't leave me here alone."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Xuan Mingyu was both angry and helpless. He couldn't just leave her like this, but he didn't know whether she was lucid or really crazy.
Today, she was completely different from any other day in the past few months. She used to be very careful, doing housework and tidying up the house diligently, but today... she not only made a mess of the room and threw things everywhere, but she also cried every time she woke up, and she would follow him even if he walked a little further away.
"Bai Xiaoruo, I don't care if you're really crazy or just pretending to be crazy. I'll forgive you this last time. If you dare to smash things again, I'll throw you out with all this trash. I won't care if you cry yourself to death outside."
Xuan Mingyu picked up Bai Xiaoruo, who was barefoot, and put her back on the bed. Remembering that his phone was still in the study, Xuan Mingyu turned around to go to the study, but Bai Xiaoruo's soft little hands came up to him.
She held him tightly around the waist, not letting him leave.
"Don't go!"
"Bai Xiaoruo, let go!"
Xian Mingyu tried to pry her hands off, but Bai Xiaoruo only hugged him tighter.
I don't want you to leave.
Caught off guard by Bai Xiaoruo's sudden persistence, Xuan Mingyu couldn't get away and was afraid of hurting her again, so he had no choice but to give in, "I'm going to the study to get my phone, I'll be back in less than a minute."
You have to keep your word.
"I definitely mean it."
Only after receiving his assurance did Bai Xiaoru reluctantly release his waist.
Xuan Mingyu went to the study to get his phone, and sure enough, he returned to Bai Xiaoruo's side in less than a minute.
Sitting on the bed, he called the female doctor who had treated Bai Xiaoruo and asked her to come over.
The gauze wrapped around Bai Xiaoruo's forehead was bleeding again from the back of her head, so the dressing and gauze needed to be changed again. In addition, Xuan Mingyu also wanted the doctor to examine Bai Xiaoruo again to find out what was wrong with her and why she was acting so strangely all of a sudden.
***
When the doctor arrived, he first changed the gauze on Bai Xiaoruo's forehead and had her lie flat on the bed. He then carefully examined her body with the instruments he brought, looking at all the bruises on her body.
After inquiring about Bai Xiaoruo's situation from Xuan Mingyu, and combining this with the information provided by Gu Yao yesterday, the doctor conducted a comprehensive analysis and reported back to Xuan Mingyu.
"This young lady's physical injuries are healing quite well. As long as she remembers to apply the medicine on time, three times a day, she will recover quickly. But that's not the most important thing. The most crucial thing is her mind. She seems to have suffered some kind of severe shock. Those images keep replaying in her mind, constantly stimulating her cerebral cortex. That's why the wound on the back of her head hasn't healed as quickly. Mental illness requires mental medicine. Only by addressing the root cause, understanding what kind of shock she suffered, and resolving her inner conflict can she fully recover and return to a normal life."
Hsien Ming-yu understood half of what he heard but not the other half.
What do you mean? Is this little girl's situation really that complicated?
Does she need him to untangle her inner knot? How would he know why she suddenly acted this way?
After the doctor left, Hsien Ming-yu continued to ponder the doctor's words.
Perhaps, as Gu Yao said, what happened to Bai Xiaoruo at school should be thoroughly investigated.
Because the doctor and Xian Mingyu had spoken directly on the balcony, bypassing Bai Xiaoruo, Bai Xiaoruo had no idea what they were talking about.
"What were you talking about? Does it have anything to do with me?" Bai Xiaoru couldn't help but ask as soon as Xian Mingyu came back.
“It’s none of your business.” Xian Mingyu placed an unopened pack of cotton swabs and ointment on the bedside table. “Apply the ointment yourself, and call me if you can’t reach the areas.” With that, Xian Mingyu picked up his phone from the table, turned around, and went to the balcony to call Gu Yao.
"Oh..." Bai Xiaoruo replied sullenly, not thinking too much about it. Xuan Mingyu probably wouldn't come in for a while. She took off her pajamas, unscrewed the medicine bottle, dipped a cotton swab in some medicine, and began to apply it to the bruises on her body.
It felt cool and comfortable, as if the pain in my body wasn't so bad anymore.
Gu Yao had just returned home from work when he received Xian Mingyu's call.
Without a moment's hesitation, upon hearing that Xian Mingyu wanted to investigate what happened to Bai Xiaoruo at school yesterday, Gu Yao immediately sent someone to do it.
However, Gu Yao believed that Bai Xiaoruo's injury and shock were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
[Mingyu, as far as I know, your wife has been somewhat restless since the day before yesterday. I think before you find out the real situation, you should ask her what exactly happened that day. No matter how thoroughly you investigate, only she knows the truth.]
