Love in a mental hospital

Chapter 254 Reflections on Abstinence
Today, when there are no secrets about the moon, humans living on Earth still have prejudices about professions.

This is because, although it cannot be generalized, different professions do have different atmospheres, and the atmosphere can easily influence people.

Gu Ran didn't know how long he could last in the current atmosphere without doing anything to let Su Qing down.

It’s not that there are no trash cans on the road, but every time - without exception - I take the trash home.

Whether to throw away garbage depends on morality, but whether one can refuse women is still controlled by carnal desires.

But carnal desire, like appetite, is a human instinct. Who can resist eating when hungry? Who can resist being impulsive when thinking about something?

It's okay to be impulsive, but at the same time, being in such an atmosphere will lead to accidents.

It's like, when guns are banned, the impulse is to throw punches, but when guns are not banned, the impulse is to shoot up schools - it's that serious.

But Gu Ran knew that complaining about the environment was useless.

There are many men in the world, but few real men. He made an agreement with himself that if he could get through it on his own, he would be a real man.

Women may find this ridiculous. Is this what it means to be a real man?
But men should be convinced and stand up and applaud!

Gu Ran became excited when he thought about having won the admiration of all his peers.

First of all, he should make himself less focused. He Qingyan can maintain a slightly more excited mind than normal people, relying entirely on morning exercises, so he can do it too.

Gu Ran looked towards the hall and found nurse Wang Jiajia, who was wearing a blue nurse uniform and had a cute bob haircut.

Give your full attention.

【Wang Jiajia】

【Favourability: 78】

[My opinion of Gu Ran: handsome, good figure, humorous, considerate, a very good doctor, can be a younger brother or an older brother, likes to give people nicknames]

This is the first time that Gu Ran has encountered so many opinions.

Come to think of it, he has many advantages, no wonder those female fairies all want to eat him.

Gu Ran walked towards Master Aqiu, who was giving a lesson to 'Quick Discharge', teaching him how to be discharged from the hospital.

"So, Master, what you mean is that as long as I don't want to be discharged from the hospital, I can be discharged?" asked the man who was about to be discharged.

“It’s ‘not wanting to be discharged from the hospital’, just one word missing,” said Master Aqiu.

Soon to be discharged from the hospital. Staring at Master Aqiu, Gu Ran had already tensed his muscles.

Quickly leave the hospital and look at Gu Ran.

"Doctor Gu, if someone plays tricks on you, will you beat him up?" he asked.

"No." Gu Ran replied.

"It's already considered cheating, no, fraud! It's not an exaggeration to say it's a crime!"

"That's even more impossible. No matter what the reason is, we ordinary people cannot fight back based on personal feelings. Punishing criminals is the job of the judiciary."

"Then why you injected me with sedatives and didn't let me leave the hospital, does that count as punishment against me based on personal feelings?!" He stared at Gu Ran when he was about to be discharged from the hospital.

Gu Ran's muscles relaxed.

There is no need to tense your muscles to deal with the imminent discharge.

Why did you tense your muscles before that? Although the target of Kuai Chu was Master Aqiu, it was Kuai Chu himself who did it.

Because I’m afraid to write a self-criticism.

Yan Hanxiang is a new official and will not take the initiative to do things, but when the opportunity to make Gu Ran write a self-criticism and fine him hundreds of dollars comes before her, she will definitely not let it go.

Gu Ran understood her.

She is 42 years old, but both in appearance and heart, she is probably only about 24 years old, especially when the person she is communicating with is him.

"It is not considered a sanction for a doctor to give an injection to a patient," said Gu Ran.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Doctor Gu, I want to arm wrestle with you."

"Do you think you are awake? Can you be discharged from the hospital with this level of cognition?" Master Aqiu shook his head and sighed.

Soon he was discharged from the hospital and stared at the red-robed monk again.

Master Aqiu continued, "Gu Ran did not continue to practice in this life, but he still has the 'holy treasure' from his previous life, and his martial arts is the best in the world."

After that, he said to Gu Ran: "Gu Ran, look at Lu Bu, he had the 'holy treasure' but gave up practicing, and was killed in the end. You should give up your career as a doctor as soon as possible, follow me to continue practicing, and become a Buddha as soon as possible."

"Master Qiu, I am here to learn from you." Gu Ran said devoutly, "You asked me to abstain from sex, so how can I resist the temptation of women?"

"Only seeking skills without seeking methods is putting the cart before the horse. If you want to reject women, the best way is--"

"Castrate myself!" said the patient excitedly as he was about to be discharged from the hospital.

He seemed to have completely forgotten his desire to impose sanctions based on personal feelings and immersed himself in the current topic.

“——Learn Buddhism.” said Master Aqiu.

"Castration is equal to studying Buddhism, and studying Buddhism is equal to castration!" I am even more excited as I will be discharged from the hospital soon.

He jumped up from the ground and shouted loudly: "Doctor Gu wants to castrate himself! Doctor Gu is casting himself!"

Just like the Japanese's favorite time-stopping series, the entire sanatorium building was still, and everyone was looking over here.

"Doctor Gu castrated himself! Doctor Gu castrated himself!" He was about to be discharged from the hospital and shouted like crazy, rushing out of the sanatorium like a madman.

By the time everyone reacted, he had already rushed out of the door of the sanatorium building.

"Don't run!" Nurse Feiyangyang chased after him.

"Straitjacket!" the older male nurse yelled.

"Prepare the sedative!" Su Qing ordered.

Once a mentally ill person escapes, many unpredictable consequences will occur, such as
Wait, Master Aqiu has something to say. Please wait until he finishes speaking before you explain.

"Get out of the hospital quickly," said Master Aqiu, a true monk whose words were as powerful as a bell. "Can you run out of the sanatorium, out of Jinghai, out of yourself, out of this world? The world is full of dust, and only by studying Buddhism and committing suicide can you break free from yourself and transcend the world."

"Yes, suicide, suicide, I want to commit suicide, I want to get out of this world!"

Science popularization paused.

Gu Ran pushed forward with his hands and lifted himself slightly off the ground.

The moment his feet landed on the ground, he stepped lightly, used the force to jump up again, and then shot out like a sharp arrow.

“Even if you commit suicide, it’s like trying to cover up your own faults and escaping this life! If you want to truly transcend the six realms of reincarnation, the only way is to learn Buddhism!” Master Aqiu’s voice was so loud, like a loudspeaker at the entrance of Guran Village, and even the wild wolves in the mountains could hear it.

After he finished saying this, Gu Ran had already surpassed the female nurses, the older male nurse, and Fei Yangyang, and grabbed the collar of the person who was about to be discharged from the hospital.

Get out of the hospital soon. Grab the collar of your clothes with both hands and pull them hard.

{Jinghai}’s hospital gown was of very good quality, there was no way it would burst, and he would have to cut himself off to survive.

He wanted to drill down and try to escape, but it was not as smooth as he had imagined and he got stuck in the middle and couldn't move.

Rather than running away, it was more like a kid who wanted to buy a toy gun but couldn't get one and was acting like a spoiled brat.

Feiyangyang and others rushed over and took over and were about to be discharged from the hospital.

"Doctor Gu, you run so fast!" Wang Jiajia said admiringly.

"Thank you."

"She can definitely go to the Olympics!" said another nurse.

"I can only run so fast when I'm chasing patients. I don't know if the Olympics will allow patients to fly ahead of me."

Gu Ran returned to the sanatorium building amid the admiration of the female nurse.

Chen Ke was smiling, and Su Qing crossed her arms, as if waiting for him to come over.

The nurses dispersed consciously, as ruthlessly and heartlessly as a school of fish abandoning a hook without bait.

Gu Ran walked over.

"What's going on?" Su Qing asked.

"I said it was a coincidence, do you believe it?" Gu Ran scratched the area above his temple with his right index finger.

The answer can be known by looking at Su Qing's expression.

"It seems he doesn't believe it." He continued, "I think it's Master Qiu's fault. He should be forbidden to contact Kuai Chennian in the future."

A beautiful face came over, and Xie Xiya was holding a pen and paper like a reporter.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Ran immediately tried to change the conflict.

"Learn." Xie Xiya gestured to the pen and paper in her hand, "The internal reflection meeting of doctors after the mental patient failed to escape from the hospital was a very useful experience."

Su Qing glanced at her, then looked at Gu Ran. "I didn't want to punish you, but now in order to set an example for the students, you have to sacrifice yourself - this is a serious case, a fine of 1,000 and self-reflection of 500."

"Okay, just consider it as handing over your salary." Gu Ran said.

Su Qing pursed her lips, and despite trying hard, she still managed a slight smile.

It is a very fun thing for a man to make a beautiful woman who doesn't want to smile smile, not to mention that the beautiful woman who smiles like this is very charming herself.

"Doctor Gu, you always think about things optimistically." Xie Xiya said with a slightly admiring tone.

"Who do you think did it?" Gu Ran asked.

"Are you angry?"

"No."

"It's Teacher Su who is punishing you, not me."

"I advise you to go back and study immediately." Gu Ran smiled.

He was often laughed at by Su Qing without any smile, and now he had imitated her.

In fact, he doesn't need to learn it because he can't laugh at all now.

"I'm studying now, look." Xie Xiya handed over the notebook.

It says:
-
When a patient escapes from a mental hospital while communicating with a doctor, the doctor should be punished in this case.
-
A fine of 1,000 yuan and a 500-word self-review

“Who would learn this? What you should learn is not how to deal with doctors, but how to deal with patients!” Gu Ran was furious, as if he was filmed doing something bad.

"Come with me." Su Qing said to Xie Xiya, and then told Gu Ran, "Go see Master Qiu."

The two of them took the nurses to find someone who was about to be discharged from the hospital, and Gu Ran walked towards Master Aqiu who was still sitting there.

"Master, let's continue." He sat down.

Master Aqiu didn’t care about what happened just now. It seemed that he didn’t incite anyone to jump off the building, but instead persuaded someone to learn Buddhism.

He said: "If you want to learn Buddhism, you must have four attitudes - in fact, you need these four attitudes to learn anything."

"What are the four attitudes?" Gu Ran asked.

“First, the attitude of a wounded deer: Just as a wounded deer seeks a secluded place to heal its wounds, to learn Buddhism, one must also find a place away from the herd, so that one has time and space to practice—for example, I came to {Jinghai}.”

Gu Ran really wanted to remind him that he was sent here.

Let’s leave this alone for now.

"Finding a quiet place" is one way, but Gu Ran can't do it. Where can he go? He can only go to {Longing Villa} and {Jinghai}.

"And the second one?" he asked again.

"Second, the lion-like attitude: Be as brave as a lion, and ignore any difficulties or bad news, which will only consume your heart - for example, if someone doubts that I am not a first-level bodhisattva, I will not pay any attention to it."

Is Master Aqiu a monk who is not good at giving examples?
The "bravery of the lion" is worth learning. If he can ignore the erotic dreams and the laughter and anger of reality, he will not be distracted.

"Master, what should I do to possess the 'courage of a lion'?" Gu Ran asked in detail.

"Practice." Master Achu replied, "Let's not talk about that for now. First learn all four attitudes, then learn to practice. You have to practice with the purpose of 'learning the four attitudes', so that you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Studying with a purpose, I think it's also a kind of attitude." Gu Ran nodded.

Master Aqiu smiled and seemed very satisfied with Gu Ran.

“The third attitude is the attitude of being like the wind.”

"wind?"

"The wind does not ask where it blows. Similarly, when we practice, we cannot expect only good things. Both good and bad are practice - for example, I was sent to {Tranquility Sea}."

The same thing, different perspectives. Master Achuk is really flexible.

Is this also an attitude, looking at the same thing from different perspectives?

No, Guru Achuk was just crazy.

"I can't go crazy with you," Gu Ran reminded himself.

Then he pondered again, how can he maintain Feng's attitude when it comes to avoiding the temptation of women?

Don't expect only good things
First of all, what is considered a good thing for him?

No one seduced him - was that a good thing? Yes, but not entirely a good thing.

After careful consideration, Gu Ran felt that there were only two certain good things for him: one, being with Su Qing; two, maintaining the current relationship with Zhuang Jing.

The absolute bad thing was also very clear: separating from Su Qing and disappointing Zhuang Jing.

When it comes to love, he will not let Zhuang Jing down. No, wait, yes, he is not with Su Qing.

There is one premise why Zhuang Jing doesn't care whether he is with He Qingyan or Chen Ke, and that is that he is with Su Qing.

So, he did only one bad thing: separating from Su Qing.

There is really no way to have only good things and avoid bad things in life, so he should not be too impatient about being tempted by women.

Without the temptation of women, would all the lovers in the world be able to love each other till old age?
Even Zhuang Jing, who was as perfect as a fairy in his eyes, had no happiness in her marriage - anyway, Gu Ran couldn't imagine how he could not be happy if he was married to Zhuang Jing.

She likes working? Then accompany her.

But Zhuang Jing does not have a happy marriage, so will he and Su Qing have the same situation?
He must learn a lesson and not be like Su Qing's father, who did things on his own to retaliate against each other. He should discuss things with Su Qing more.

Discuss with Su Qing that you were seduced?
Um.
Would most people discuss this with their significant other?
Will you get beaten?

Being spanked by Su Qing? Hiss——If possible, Gu Ran still wanted to spank Su Qing instead of being spanked.

“Master, what is the fourth attitude?”

Perhaps we can get inspiration from the fourth attitude.

"Like a madman's attitude."

".madman?"

“Be like a madman, having neither preference nor hatred for any of the eight worldly things—for example, I don’t care about being praised, nor do I care about being criticized.”

Some crazy people still care about praise and criticism.

Let’s put the argument aside.

He has a crazy attitude and doesn't care about praise or criticism.

Gu Ran asked himself, what is praise to him?
From a social perspective, it is his loyalty that earns him admiration and praise;

What about criticism?
Three or four wives.

Don't care about praise or criticism.
"In other words," Gu Ran tried, "do what you want to do without asking for praise or criticism from the outside world?"

Master Aqiu smiled and nodded.

He asked: "Gu Ran, what do you want to do?"

Gu Ran wants to be with Su Qing.

《Personal Diary》: September 22, Monday, Jinghai

Please be discharged from the hospital soon! Please be discharged from the hospital soon!
I talked with Master Achu and learned four attitudes.

The following are some self-questions and answers:

Do you like He Qingyan? Yes.

Do you like Chen Ke? Yes.

Do you like Xie Xiya? Who doesn't like a peerless beautiful high school girl?

Do you want to be with He Qingyan, Chen Ke, and Xie Xiya? Yes.

Then why didn't you agree to He Qingyan? Because I want to be with Su Qing.

If Su Qing didn't mind, I should have already agreed to He Qingyan, but as long as Su Qing minded, I would immediately give up all my other likes without any hesitation.

I am not a strong-willed person, and I also like beautiful women, but I just chose what I wanted most.

Next time when I encounter something like last night's [Dream of the Alley House], I should ask myself: Do I dare to take the risk of losing Su Qing?

But in the final analysis, I am the victim!

----

"Doctor's Diary":
For a wise man like Master Achuk, being put in a mental hospital would only be seen by him as a test of his practice.

How can I make him realize that this is not spiritual practice, but that he is really sick?
(Zhuang Jing's comment: I suddenly realized that we were the ones who gave up on him. If we had burned and destroyed those myth tents at that time, perhaps his illness would have been cured - but we are not sure we can destroy those tents, the monsters in the tents are very strong.)
