Chapter 192 Mental Hospital
Bao Shuyu and his assistant stayed outside and did not go into the room, since it would be inappropriate for so many people to go in at once.
As soon as Yu Xiaoluo approached Xie Zixin, she smelled a demonic aura and understood what was going on.
Xie Zixin seemed to only then notice someone coming in. She raised her face, and her originally delicate face looked bloodless, making her look older than her peers. Moreover, she was very thin.
Xie Tianyou looked at his younger sister and said with concern, "Zixin, are you unable to eat again?"
Xie Zixin's previously unfocused gaze finally regained a sliver of focus. She recognized her brother, but her voice was indifferent and mechanical, as if it came from a great distance, "Brother, is that you? You've come—"
"Well, Zixin, I brought a friend to see you. Could you tell them about your situation? Maybe they can help you."
Xie Zixin's gaze lingered on Yu Xiaoluo's face.
Yu Xiaoluo looked at her with a smile, "Sister Zixin, hello, my name is Xiaoluo. Your hands are so beautiful, have you studied piano?"
Xie Zixin's confused eyes finally lit up with a glimmer of light, as if she were recalling something from a long time ago, "A piano?"
"Yes, the piano."
Yu Xiaoluo gestured as if playing the piano, "Sister Zixin has a very elegant temperament, she's very suitable for playing the piano. May I see your hands?"
Xie Zixin hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xie Tianyou, who smiled and nodded at her.
She slowly reached out her hand, and Yu Xiaoluo sat on the edge of the bed, took her hand, and admired her slender fingers while secretly touching her wrist. After a while, her brows furrowed slightly, but she quickly regained her smile.
"Sister's hands are so white and delicate, I really want to hear her play the piano—by the way, sister, besides your brother and the staff here, does anyone else come to see you?"
Xie Zixin's expression suddenly turned somewhat panicked, and she tried to pull her hand back, "Anan, no, no, Anan—"
Yu Xiaoluo held her hand tightly. "I'm here, don't be afraid. Who is Anan? Tell me."
Perhaps it was Yu Xiaoluo's firm and warm gaze, along with her unique affability, that gave Xie Zixin some comfort, and Xie Zixin gradually calmed down.
“Anan, he is my love.”
Xie Tianyou frowned. "That man? Didn't he leave you? Besides, he's the one who caused you to end up like this."
When that man was mentioned, Xie Tianyou's eyes seemed to spit fire.
"He—has left me, but he'll come back to me after a while and want to sleep with me—I'm so scared—so scared—"
At this point, Xie Zixin trembled like a leaf, "I don't want to, I don't want to be with him, brother, please get rid of him for me, please get rid of him—"
At this moment, she suddenly became agitated, "Anan, he's not human, he's not human, he's a monster, a monster!"
Xie Tianyou sighed and said apologetically, "Master, I'm sorry, it seems she has had another attack."
Yu Xiaolu shook her head. "What if what she said is true?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyou's face turned deathly pale. "What? What did you say? This is true? That Anan really contacted her? How is this hospital managed?! How could they let unidentified people in!"
He became very angry, and his voice rose. Yu Xiaoluo quickly stopped him, "Don't get agitated. This matter is not as simple as it seems. Don't speak yet, let me handle it."
Xie Tianyou had no choice but to suppress his anger and step aside. He reached into his pocket, wanting to smoke a cigarette to vent his frustration, but he quickly realized where he was and had to pull his hand back.
Yu Xiaoluo then looked at Xie Zixin, "I believe you. Has Anan been looking for you for the past ten years?"
Xie Zixin nodded, then shook her head. "They didn't contact me for several years, then—then they came looking for me again—"
Is there a pattern? When was the most recent one?
"I don't know, I don't know, I can't remember—" Xie Zixin shook her head painfully.
"Think about how long it will take."
"He seems to contact me several times a month—and those few days are particularly frequent, I feel so tired and in so much pain, and then he disappears. No—no—"
Xie Zixin's emotions became somewhat unstable again.
Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyou's veins bulged with anger, but he was also very puzzled. Logically speaking, that man shouldn't have come here to find his sister and had a relationship with her.
Yu Xiaoluo gently comforted Xie Zixin and stroked her hair. "Sister, can you tell me what happened ten years ago when you ran away from home and lived with Anan? Only if you tell me can I help you and have a chance to get rid of him. You see, others may not believe you, but I do."
Xie Zixin looked at Yu Xiaoluo and suddenly burst into tears, her emotions collapsing once again.
Yu Xiaoluo gestured for Xie Tianyou to go out first, "I can handle things here. After all, you are a man, and there are some private things she might not be comfortable talking about."
Xie Tianyou sighed and bowed deeply to Yu Xiaoluo. "Master Yu, Zixin is in your care now. We'll wait outside."
After he left, he closed the door behind him.
Now, only Yu Xiaoluo and Xie Zixin remained. Yu Ziluo gently held her hand and said, "Sister Zixin, don't worry, I will believe everything you say."
Yu Xiaolu handed her a tissue. Looking at Yu Xiaolu's encouraging and gentle gaze, Xie Zixin took the tissue and wiped away her tears. "Do you really believe me? I've said it so many times, but no one believes me. They even treat me like I'm mentally ill."
"I think you're perfectly normal. You've just been deeply hurt, which is why you're emotionally unstable. Anyone who suffers such a great injury would feel this way; it's not just you."
"The reason they don't believe it is because they haven't encountered it before, because these things are beyond their comprehension. On the other hand, it's because they haven't seen or experienced enough, and it's beyond their cognitive scope, so they naturally assume that those things are fake and nonexistent."
Xie Zixin nodded frantically, "Xiao Luo, thank you for understanding me. Let me think about how I met Anan—"
After all, more than ten years have passed, and Xie Zixin tries hard to recall that beautiful time, even though endless pain followed the beautiful memories.
"At that time, after my best friend and I parted ways after leaving the mall, we were followed by a few thugs. I was a little scared and wanted to escape their sight. Anan pulled me and pretended to be my boyfriend, and the thugs left in a huff."
