Chapter 12 Hospital
It was already noon when Xie Yu woke up. He looked to the side and saw that the bedding was neatly spread out, but Shen Ci had already left.
The top student at Shen University has morning meetings and a regular daily routine that he never changes. He is totally different from the lazy second generation like Xie Yu.
The system reminded him: "It's almost noon, you have a doctor's appointment this afternoon."
The person he was talking about was Dr. Xu from Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital.
Xie Yu made an OK gesture, got up to wash up, and searched for Dr. Xu's information on his mobile phone.
He opened the official website of Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital, clicked into the "Doctor Style" column, and browsed the past achievements and main research directions of each practicing physician.
The surname Xu is neither big nor small. There is only one doctor in Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital with the surname Xu, named Xu Qingshan. He is the director and president of the hospital. His main treatment areas are anxiety, delusion, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
Xie Yu glanced over Xu Qingshan's photo and paused slightly. After memorizing his information one by one in his mind, he thought about how to ask him questions.
The original owner was an old client of Xu Qingshan, but the last appointment was half a year ago. The two of them didn’t talk to each other normally, so they were probably not friends, but just an ordinary doctor-patient relationship. Xie Yu had a system in place, so he didn’t worry about being discovered.
Xie Yu got in the car and set the navigation. Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital is located on the outskirts of the city. He drove for about 40 minutes and entered the hospital's parking lot.
Dean Xu's consulting room was on the third floor of the hospital. Xie Yu took the elevator straight up. He found the specific location, opened the door, and met an elegant man.
Xu Qingshan is in his early thirties this year. He is well-maintained and exudes an elegant and refined air. When he saw Xie Yu, he adjusted his glasses and said, "Xiao Yu... Mr. Xie, please take a seat."
Xie Yu sat down opposite him, and saw Xu Qingshan looking around his face and said with a smile: "You are in a much better condition than before."
Xie Yu said: "Indeed, I feel more comfortable recently than before. Maybe I have come to terms with it."
He didn't know the original owner's condition, but a psychiatrist could probably just pass off his praise for his good condition as "let it go".
Xu Qingshan: "As usual, let's do a psychological test first to see how things are going."
He took a pen and paper and pushed it to Xie Yu. On the paper were printed questions in black and white, which were used to assess mental state.
Before Xie Yu could say anything, he just picked up the pen, and the system in his head was already going crazy.
"No, host, are you really going to do this? Are you really going to do this?!"
Xie Yu held his forehead and said, "Keep your voice down. It's giving me a headache... Why don't you do it?"
"Your character will be ruined." The system was worried. "You are a healthy person with good mental health. If the original owner is really mentally ill, you will definitely not be able to match the test questions you wrote randomly. I have checked this Xu Qingshan. He is a professional psychologist who studied abroad and obtained a doctorate in psychology. He has rich experience in treatment. If he finds a problem, what should we do?"
Xie Yu bit off the pen cap and wrote: "Don't worry, he won't see the problem."
System: “But…”
Xie Yu pressed his index finger on his upper lip: "Speak softly——"
The system froze for two seconds, then typed out three exclamation marks: "!!!"
The fluorescent blue dialog box flashed wildly, and the system anxiously displayed: "How can you do this to me? Xu Qingshan is still watching from the opposite side, it will expose that you have a system!"
Xie Yu's actions just now were not concealed at all, and Xu Qingshan saw them all.
Xie Yu: "Don't worry, look at Xu Qingshan."
The system turned around and saw Xu Qingshan adjusting his glasses. He was not surprised at all that Xie Yu was talking to the air. He looked at the patient thoughtfully, and from time to time he lowered his head to type on the computer, recording something.
Twenty minutes later, Xie Yu put down his pen and handed the test paper back.
Xu Qingshan took the test paper and read it carefully from beginning to end.
The system was terrified.
Although it had no physical body, its heart seemed to be beating in its throat, and it wished it could grab something to relieve its uneasiness. However, it saw Xie Yu lying on the chair like an old man, playing with a pot of green ivy on the desk nonchalantly, pinching the leaves and tapping the pot, without any sign of nervousness.
system:"……"
When it was almost suffocating, Xu Qingshan finally finished reading the paper. He smiled slightly and said, "My guess is right. Your condition is gradually getting better. Although there are still some problems, it is much better than before."
Xie Yu’s expression remained unchanged: “Really? I think so too.”
Xu Qingshan nodded: "In that case, you can continue to take the previous medicine. I will make a prescription for you and reduce the dosage."
As he spoke, he kept nodding, as if he was sincerely happy for the patient's recovery. Xie Yu was watching from the side and suddenly asked, "Doctor, is it possible for me to recover from this disease?"
Hearing this, Xu Qingshan sighed slightly: "Xiao...Mr. Xie, it's like this, there are some things that you still have to let go of. The dead are gone after all. If your wife were still alive, she wouldn't want to see the child like this."
His words were incoherent, but Xie Yu seemed to understand. He nodded under the system's bewildered gaze: "You're right, but if it was so easy to get out, I wouldn't have been sick for so long."
Next, Xu Qingshan asked some more questions, and Xie Yu answered them one by one, without any loopholes. The two of them talked back and forth, and Xu Qingshan nodded from time to time, without any suspicion at all.
As they finished their conversation, they heard a bus braking through the glass window. Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital is located in a remote area with few vehicles passing by. The hospital was very quiet, so the braking sound was particularly noticeable.
Xie Yu took a sip of tea and asked, "What's going on? Are we sending the patients one bus at a time?"
Xu Qingshan looked down from the window and said with a smile, "They are some volunteers from the school. They help us do the work for a day, take pictures and send them to the publicity department for promotion. They come once or twice a year."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Xu Qingshan handed Xie Yu a prescription and asked him to get the medicine. The afternoon consultation ended.
When Xie Yu came down from the elevator, he happened to meet volunteers coming up the stairs. The team leader was holding a small flag with "A University Volunteer Group" written on it. He glanced at it coldly and went to the pharmacy.
In the crowd, Shen Ci paused.
This is a student volunteer activity organized by University A. Students come to a mental hospital in the far suburbs to be volunteers for a day, visit, sweep the floor, and cooperate with the Propaganda Committee to take photos. They will be given a subsidy of 200 yuan. It’s a lot of money and little work. Shen Ci relied on Li Yue’s connections to get it.
But he never thought that he would meet Xie Yu here.
Xie Yu is still the same.
The eldest son of the Xie family was arrogant and domineering, as well as romantic and wanton, with a smile on his face all the time. But when he passed by just now, he had a cold expression, his face was tense, and there was no smile at all.
Xie Yu's bone structure was actually very clear and sharp. Normally, it was softer when he was smiling. But now, he had a cold expression, his brows were full of fatigue, and he had a kind of cold and stern look that said "no strangers allowed".
A classmate saw Shen Ci's gaze and looked at him curiously: "Brother Shen, do you know that person?"
Xie Yu is tall and good-looking, and his back alone is attractive enough.
Shen Ci said: "It's my...friend."
He really couldn't imagine why Xie Yu appeared here.
Young Master Xie is a wealthy man with luxurious clothes, luxury cars and famous watches, so he shouldn't have any mental problems.
Shen Ci thought for a moment and said to the leader: “My friend is here, I’ll go first.”
There were no strict rules for student volunteer activities, so it was fine as long as they were present when taking photos. The leader waved his hand to signal him to do as he pleased, and Shen Ci took two steps forward and followed Xie Yu downstairs.
He stopped in the shadow of the corner and saw Xie Yu enter the pharmacy.
After a while, Xie Yu took the medicine, casually threw the prescription into the trash can, and then walked away.
Shen Ci paused for a moment, walked out of the shadows, stood in front of the trash can, and read the words on the prescription clearly.
"Three boxes of lamotrigine dispersible tablets, one bottle of lithium carbonate tablets, two boxes of oxcarbazepine tablets..."
All three drugs are used to treat bipolar disorder.
He bent over to pick up the prescription, smoothed out the wrinkles, stared at it for a long time, and put it in his breast pocket.
On the other side, Xie Yu had just walked out of the courtyard when he suddenly slapped his head and said, "Why did I forget about the investment?"
He originally went to the mental hospital for investment purposes, but after the consultation, he forgot about the real business.
Xie Yu stood up and turned back. The system appeared silently in front of him. The fluorescent blue screen hit Xie Yu: "Host, what happened to that watch just now? You seem to be able to handle it with ease."
It is difficult for a normal person to pretend to be mentally ill, let alone complete a set of professional scales without revealing any flaws. However, Xie Yu did not even stop to think and finished it fluently.
Xie Yu laughed: "Because I also suffered from mental illness."
system:"?"
"!!!"
It raised its voice in disbelief: "What?!"
Xie Yu had a calm expression, not caring about the bombshell he had just dropped: "I had it in high school, it was mild, not serious, and I'm fine now."
He smiled at the system: "Didn't you say that I have a certain degree of similarity with the original owner, including name, appearance, family background, childhood experiences, etc., then I have also experienced the same things as the original owner, which is normal."
The system was stunned: "What?"
Xie Yu is a supporting character in the original book. He has a small role and is not described or portrayed. The system does not know his background.
Xie Yuyun said calmly, "Nothing, it's just that my father likes to abuse. He made my mother pregnant before marriage, then beat her into a mental hospital, and then abused the child. He wanted to throw the child into an orphanage, but finally found out that the sperm vitality was not good, and this child was the only one who could inherit the family business, so he took the child back and raised him by his side."
The system was slightly stuck. It was clearly an electronic life form, but it was suffocating like a human.
He asked cautiously: "Does your father beat you?"
Xie Yu sneered: "When you brought my body over? Didn't you see the marks on my back? They were caused by the beatings when I was a child."
The system was startled and said awkwardly: "It seems so."
"Benefiting" from his family, Xie Yu, like the original owner, also suffered from bipolar disorder. It was particularly serious in high school and he was unable to study for a time. It was also at that time that he learned to drink, fight and ride a motorcycle. Later, he became financially independent and moved away from his original family. With the intervention of drugs, he got better.
"Is that so? Was the original owner like this too?" The system was a little sad, muttering to itself, "Then it's understandable that he has such a bad temper and special hobbies."
Xie Yu sneered: "Bullshit, I went through this too, why am I not angry?"
He unwrapped a lollipop in annoyance, dipped his tongue in it, and continued, "Because his father is a scumbag and he was abused when he was a child, he treats innocent people in the same way. How is this different from being a scumbag?"
The lollipop was in his mouth, but it had no taste. Xie Yu couldn't eat it, so he just threw it away: "Forget it, let's talk to Xu Qingshan about investment first."
He went and came back. At this time, the hall was full of volunteers. Shen Ci was hidden among them and was not conspicuous. The two passed by each other. Xie Yu did not see Shen Ci, but Shen Ci saw him.
Xie Yu took the elevator upstairs, Shen Ci noted the floor and the pause time, and followed quietly.
He saw Xie Yu go up to the third floor and turn into the dean's office, so he passed by casually and glanced at him through the glass window.
Xu Qingshan sat at the consultation desk with a dark green medical record in his hand. Most hospitals have gone digital now, but Director Xu still retains the habit of handwriting medical records. The edges of this medical record are curled and the inner pages are yellowed and faded, obviously having been used for a long time.
Xie Yu sat opposite him, holding a lollipop between his fingers as if he were holding a cigarette. His romantic and dandy aura had completely faded away, and he leaned back in his chair, his temperament cold and indifferent.
Xu Qingshan pushed up his glasses: "You want to invest in me?" He smiled helplessly, "No need to do that, Xiaoyu, I don't lack money."
"I don't have anywhere to spend it anyway." Xie Yu interrupted, "You can use it to help patients, expand the hospital's capacity and add some infrastructure, or set up a relief fund. It's up to you. If you put it in my hands, I can only buy a car and a watch."
He has to follow the original character's setting, so it is impossible for him to invest. In case the investment is successful, he will not be able to continue the plot of studying abroad.
Xu Qingshan paused and sighed slightly: "Okay, I'll put it there for you first."
Xie Yu: "I will find a reliable lawyer to see how to sign the contract. I will come back to you after the deal is settled."
After saying that, he gathered his clothes, stood up and left.
Shen Ci hid sideways in the office next door, and Xie Yu just came out of the room. This was the third floor of the hospital, which was mostly administrative offices. There were no doctors or patients, and it was very empty. Not long after, two girls dressed as clerks came from the other side and happened to pass by Xie Yu.
The two of them put down the report and looked back at Xie Yu. The tall girl asked in a low voice: "Who is that passing by? Is he a family member? He looks quite handsome."
The small round-faced girl shook her head: "He's handsome, and rich, but it's a pity that he's not a family member, he's a patient."
She pointed and added, "He is somewhat related to our dean. It is said that the dean is his uncle. It is said that the dean's choice of major research direction was related to his illness."
Patients in mental hospitals can only be mentally ill.
The tall girl was a little surprised. The young man was so handsome that he could be a movie star. His steps and manners were calm and natural, more outstanding than a model. He didn't seem to have any problems at all. She wanted to ask more, but the short girl knocked her head and scolded her with a smile: "Don't ask about the patient's privacy. Go and collect the documents."
As they talked, they walked away.
Shen Ci came out from the shadows, with the crumpled prescription in his pocket. The sharp folds on the paper pressed against his flesh through a thin layer of fabric, cutting him painfully.
Xie Yu...is he really a patient?
Young Master Xie has always lived a life of luxury, never paying attention to anything, like a lazy big cat. No matter what, Shen Ci couldn't connect him with bipolar disorder.
At this moment, his phone vibrated, and the team leader asked, "Senior Shen, where are you? We are preparing for a group activity."
Graduate students generally do not participate in such activities. Shen Ci is an exception due to lack of funds. Others in the team call him senior.
Shen Ci smoothed the prescription through the fabric and typed, “Coming soon.”
*
Xie Yu returned to the hotel, locked the medicine in the cabinet, and did not touch it again.
The system was a little worried: "Don't you need to eat something?"
Xie Yu was speechless: "I've already said that I'm not sick now, I just had a short period of illness in high school."
Mental illness is also divided into different levels. Xie Yu was open-minded by nature and there was nothing he couldn't overcome. He had a mild attack in high school, but it was not serious enough to require medication. Later, he became financially independent and gradually got better.
System: “But…”
"No buts." Xie Yu held his forehead with a headache, "Look at my current mental state, do I look sick?"
The system replied cautiously: "Like."
Xie Yu: “.”
He pushed the system away speechlessly: "Stop talking, let's see what the next plot is. I remember there will be a plot tonight."
"Oh, let me see," the system said in a panic, "there is a plot. There is a whole chapter of plot."
The entire plot is full of important plot points. Xie Yu clicked on the novel and asked, "What's the name of the chapter?"
"The chapter title is - "Drunk Compulsion"."
“Puff——” Xie Yu spat out a mouthful of hot tea, incredulous: “What?!”
The author has something to say:
Quietly peeking, will these two words be blocked?
