Xiao Qi rubbed her sleepy eyes, wearing pink and white bunny pajamas, her two long, fluffy ears swaying back and forth. She hopped over to Han Fei's legs and grabbed his hand as he put on his shoes.
Han Fei looked up and met the little girl's fair and plump cheeks. Her big eyes blinked and stared at him, her beautiful eyes full of accusation.
"Grandpa, where are you and my older brother going to play?"
She tilted her head, pouting angrily, "Why didn't you take Xiaoqi with you?"
Han Fei looked out the window at the sky; it was just dawn, only five o'clock.
She thought she would just leave quietly and not disturb anyone, but who would have thought that the little girl would get up at night and get caught red-handed!
Han Chengda had dark circles under his eyes and had barely slept all night. He didn't expect that his younger sister would still find him so early in the morning.
Xiao Qi looked at her grandfather, then at her older brother, and seeing that they wouldn't agree to take her, she plopped down on the carpet.
The little voice was full of sorrow: "Grandpa secretly took Big Brother out to play. You all don't like Little Seven anymore. You don't take Little Seven to play. Little Seven is a poor thing. No one loves her..."
Han Fei sighed and said, "Watch less TV dramas."
This child has recently been watching a lot of "weird" TV dramas and imitating strange accents.
Xiao Qi wrinkled her little nose, snorted, took out a strawberry handkerchief from the plush bunny's pocket, pinched one corner of the handkerchief, and pretended to wipe her tears like a tragic heroine in a TV drama.
Han Fei: "..."
Han Chengda: "...Grandpa, I think we can take her to see a doctor together."
The trip originally intended for two people eventually turned into a trip for three.
Fortunately, Xiao Qi didn't actually cry or make a sound from beginning to end; otherwise, Xiao Liu, who dotes on his sister, would definitely have rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and it wouldn't have been a trio anymore, but perhaps a quartet, or even more.
Han Fei deeply felt that having many children was also a sweet burden.
Standing at the hospital entrance, Xiao Qi's wide, glassy eyes stared at Han Fei, then at Han Chengda, and she asked nervously, "Are you sick?"
She never expected that the place her grandfather and older brother had carried her to was actually a hospital!
Xiao Qi reached out and stood on tiptoe: "Big brother, bend over!"
Han Chengda bent down so that the little girl's hand could touch his forehead.
Xiao Qi confirmed that her older brother wasn't sick, then turned and ran to Han Fei's feet, her voice urgent: "Grandpa, bend down!"
Han Fei didn't bend down; instead, he picked up the chubby little girl directly.
Han Fei: Why does it feel heavier now?
Xiao Qi reached out her chubby little hand and placed it on Han Fei's forehead, letting out a big sigh of relief: "Grandpa isn't sick either, that's great!"
The little girl couldn't understand. She tilted her head, her big eyes full of question marks: "Why do I need to come to the hospital if I'm not sick?"
"Come for a check-up." Han Fei said gently, "If you don't want to go in, you can play with the driver and bodyguards in the car. Grandpa and your brother will be back soon."
Xiao Qi grabbed Han Fei's neck and shook her head vigorously, shouting, "No, Xiao Qi wants to go with you!"
"Aren't you afraid of doctors anymore?" Han Fei asked with a smile.
Xiaoqi is afraid of doctors, especially when they give her injections. This is because every time she comes to the hospital, it's because she's sick and needs an injection. As a result, in the little girl's mind, doctor = injection!
Xiaoqi is making a difficult choice between staying with her grandfather and brother and facing the prospect of getting a shot.
"Well... Xiao Qi is waiting for you in the car. Come back soon!"
The little girl chickened out.
Han Fei laughed out loud: "Good."
He handed the child over to the twin bodyguards before entering the hospital with Han Chengda.
The two, who were originally in a heavy mood, were made much more relaxed by Xiaoqi's farce.
After registering, the two sat on a bench and waited for their numbers to be called.
Suddenly, Han Chengda caught a glimpse of an acquaintance out of the corner of his eye; the person sitting against the wall was sitting there.
"Grandpa, I saw my classmate. I'd like to go over and say a few words to him."
Han Fei nodded: "Go ahead." This is such a coincidence, to run into someone in a mental hospital.
Han Chengda sat down next to his classmate.
The student was engrossed in his phone and didn't notice Han Chengda's arrival. He simply assumed a stranger was sitting there, moved closer to the wall, and kept his distance.
"Jiang Hao."
Only when Han Chengda called his name did he suddenly raise his head, his eyes filled with shock: "Han Chengda!"
At this moment, they met by chance and went from being classmates to fellow patients in a mental hospital.
As heroes admire heroes, Jiang Hao gripped Han Chengda's hand tightly, his eyes filled with tears: "Han Chengda, are you sick too?"
Han Chengda forcefully shook his hand: "I don't know yet, I haven't seen it."
Jiang Hao refused to let go: "Han Chengda, I'm suffering! I think I'm normal, but my adoptive parents are forcing me to come for treatment! And you, who forced you to come?"
Jiang Hao looked up and around, then saw Han Chengda's grandfather. He lowered his voice and asked, "Did the old man force you to come? Did you talk back to him at home? Does he think you're going through a rebellious phase, so he's forcing you to come here for treatment?"
"Han Chengda, why are all adults like this? Do we have to live according to their way of thinking? We have to do whatever they tell us to do, and if we resist, object, or talk back, they label us as going through a rebellious phase! It's so unreasonable!"
“You’ve misunderstood. No one forced me to come. I came of my own accord. My grandfather was just worried about me, so he came with me.”
"You came here by yourself? Are you alright? You're perfectly fine, why are you seeing a mental hospital?"
“I know my own situation best. Sometimes I can’t control myself at all. I feel like there’s always a fire inside me that wants to explode. I want to smash things, hit people, and even when I see something covered in blood, I can’t help but feel excited.”
Jiang Hao was shocked: "Your condition is much more serious than mine. I only have depression and anxiety. I think it was caused by too much pressure during the high school entrance exam. I'm in high school now, and I'll get better as I adjust."
Han Chengda nodded: "Maybe, it could be quite serious."
"Number 10, Han Chengda, please go to consultation room number 3." The voice announced the number.
"It's my turn. What's your number?"
"I'm number 13."
"Then I'll go see a doctor first."
"Don't be nervous, the first doctor's visit is just about doing some questions."
"Okay, I understand."
Han Chengda walked toward the designated clinic room number 3.
Han Fei stepped forward and accompanied him inside.
A refined-looking man wearing black-rimmed glasses sat at the desk. The man asked Han Chengda about his background and handed him a set of test papers.
Han Chengda had the illusion that he was not there for a medical treatment, but for an exam.
The clinic was quiet, with only the rustling sound of Han Chengda writing as he answered questions.
About 15 minutes later, Han Chengda finished all the questions and handed them to the doctor.
The wait for the diagnosis results felt like a long time, but it was actually only a short while.
"It's nothing, just too much academic pressure. Eat more chocolate and candy, go for a walk, and listen to some soothing music. Try to avoid listening to fast-paced music or music with drumming sounds. Keep your emotions stable, go to bed early and get up early, and eat regularly."
Han Chengda asked incredulously, "I'm really not sick?"
"Isn't it good that you're not sick? Go back with your grandfather, go to bed early and get up early, and eat more sweets."
Han Chengda, who doesn't like sweets, wore a pained expression and said, "Okay, I understand."
