Love in a mental hospital

Chapter 266 Typhoon (1)

After a quick tidy up in the office, the three of them hurried to the sanatorium building. Gu Ran rubbed his ears all the way, which made them even redder.

Facts have proved that the more you deal with some things, the more troublesome they become, but not dealing with them is also troublesome.

On typhoon days, outings were cancelled and the patients were all in the lobby on the first floor.

When he was about to be discharged from the hospital, he chatted with the head nurse. He was still wearing his hospital gown, but his expression and posture at this time were like a designer discussing with the staff how to design the nursing building;
There was a quilt in the corner, with Wang Jiajia standing beside it. Hu Qian should be in the quilt;
Xiaozhi was playing Lego under the ping-pong table; Gege and Xie Xiya were playing ping-pong;

Master Aqiu and the tug-of-war old man are watching Li Xiaoye practice.

"Spread your feet sideways as wide as one step, place your hands flat on your lower abdomen, split them evenly to the left and right, turn your body backwards, inhale, hold your waist and support your waist - this is the Eight Brocade."

"Isn't it just forward bending?" Gege said casually as she passed by picking up the ball.

"What forward bend? This is the serious Eight Brocade Satin. Use your hands to climb your feet to strengthen your kidneys and waist!" Li Xiaoye was angry and got angry with the high school girl.

"Climbing the feet with both hands?" The princess looked at his posture.

Li Xiaoye's hands only reached his knees at most.

"Uncle, your kidneys and waist must be in trouble, right?" Gege said with a smile while padding the ball with the racket - protecting the ball with the other hand to prevent it from falling.

"I can't? I can't?!" Li Xiaoye's voice got louder and louder.

"Look at me." Gege bent forward and easily climbed up to a little below her knees.

"It doesn't matter if a girl has bad kidneys or waist." She straightened up.

She wanted to leave, but Xie Xiya came over.

"Can eight-brocade satin exercise the kidneys and waist?" Xie Xiya asked Li Xiaoye curiously.

"It's more than just the waist. You young people, how can you know the profoundness of Chinese civilization?" Li Xiaoye jumped onto the table, just like when he held up "Struggle" at the beginning.

The old man nurse gave Feiyangyang nurse a look, and the two of them approached inconspicuously like gangsters.

"Restraint belt." Li Hui whispered to a nurse.

"Listen carefully!" the stinky illusion writer said in a deep voice, "Shaking your head and tail will relieve your internal heat, using your hands to hold your feet to strengthen your kidneys and waist, clenching your fists and glaring will increase your strength, shaking your back seven times will eliminate all diseases, the Eight Brocades are a magical skill! Drink!"

He squatted in a horse stance, raised his hands flat, and pushed forward with only his index fingers, just like the moves in Jackie Chan's kung fu movies when he was young.

"Is this eight-brocade satin?" Gege asked Xie Xiya in confusion.

"Do you believe what a mental patient says?" Xie Xiya said softly.

"Yeah." Gege nodded in agreement.

"Li Xiaoye, come down." Su Qing frowned.

"You," Li Xiaoye hooked his finger at Gu Ran, "Come up."

Gu Ran pretended not to hear.

"Let me show you my kidneys and waist! Come up!"

"I'm not interested in your kidneys and waist." Gu Ran said.

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless! The spirit of the tailbone penetrates the top of the head."

"Wait, this is Tai Chi, right?" Gu Ran is also a generalist who is familiar with the techniques of various major martial arts schools.

"Great! You are indeed an expert. Come on!" Li Xiaoye jumped off the table and rushed towards Gu Ran with opera-like steps.

When he got to Gu Ran, he raised his palm and slowly pushed forward.

"What are you doing?" Gege asked.

"Compare internal strength." Master Aqiu looked solemn.

Gege and Xie Xiya looked at Master Aqiu in surprise.

"The right choice." The old man nodded solemnly, "Young people are better at boxing. Li Xiaoye is old now. He is definitely no match for Dr. Gu in terms of boxing and kicking."

Xie Xiya and Gege both looked at him at the same time.

Among the nurses, someone murmured:
"Doesn't Li Xiaoye think he is an alien?"

"The martial artist has been discharged from the hospital."

Gu Ran raised his hand and gently pushed Li Xiaoye's palm, and Li Xiaoye took three steps back.

"Hiss——" Master Aqiu and the old man playing tug-of-war took a deep breath.

"You!" Li Xiaoye was horrified. "How dare you not let me? Aren't you afraid that I will lie on the ground and blackmail you?"

"I believe in your character." Gu Ran said.

Li Xiaoye lay on the ground, holding his waist with his left hand and screaming, while his right hand trembled as he pointed at Gu Ran.

This was the first time such symptoms occurred, but everyone was used to it. Just as they were about to accommodate the patient according to the old method, Gu Ran suddenly spoke.

"Li Xiaoye, you call this a magical skill. Look carefully, this is the real magical skill I practiced by swallowing the sun and the moon by the Weiming Lake!"

He contracted all his muscles, swung his arms, and struck out extremely quickly with a thrilling penetrating power.

As he moved in the hall, everyone had the illusion of being hammered, roasted by fire, frozen, and cut by a knife.

It was like a master in a TV drama, punching someone in the face.

He suddenly turned around, grabbed the ping-pong table with one hand, and lifted it upright to the ceiling.

Everyone's mouth changed from '·' to 'o' and then to 'O'.

Xiaozhi touched his head, as if his head had been taken off.

“How, how did you do that?” Li Xiaoye was stunned, as if he was so frightened that he recovered from his mental illness.

"Great strength!" Gu Ran said seriously.

"Everyone, see this!" Master Aqiu said enthusiastically, "This is also a kind of magical power of the Bodhisattva. Gu Ran is not a human, he is a Bodhisattva, he is a Rinpoche, he is also reincarnated, he can eat nails, he can also drink urine!"

"I can't!" Gu Ran, who was holding the pool table with one hand, quickly raised his other hand to stop him from continuing.

"Shakyamuni!" Master Aqiu praised the Buddha.

Gu Ran put the pool table down, and Xiao Zhi finally seemed to have regained his consciousness and put down his hands, continuing to play with the Lego blocks.

Gu Ran didn't dare to say a word!

Afraid of having to write another self-criticism and being fined.

The hall returned to peace, except that both the mental patients and the nurses gathered around the ping-pong table.

"This is a simple pool table, but it weighs 65 kilograms!" A nurse checked the information.

"Can you lift me with one hand?"

“You have 65 kilograms?”

"No, no, you heard me wrong. I said 56."

"You didn't say a number at all?"

"65 jin, I can still try, but 65 kilograms" Feiyangyang looked at the old man nurse, and the old man nurse shook his head solemnly.

Master Aqiu looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd with a look of relief.

The old man who played tug-of-war was also happy. He said to Gege and Xie Xiya, "Doctor Gu practiced with me. Tug-of-war is useful. Doctor Gu might be able to ascend to heaven before me!"

"Is it 'one step ahead and ascend to heaven', or 'one step ahead and ascend to heaven'?" asked the princess.

"What did you say?" The old man playing tug-of-war didn't understand.

"Xiya, what do you think?" The princess looked at the extremely beautiful girl.

"Doctor Gu's waist and kidneys must be in good condition." The extremely beautiful girl murmured.

Gege looked at her indescribable manner.

Boom!

The sudden thunder startled everyone.

When everyone looked out the window, the rainstorm had already lashed down, like the tyrant of heaven beating the slave of the world.

The heavy rain suddenly covered the floor-to-ceiling windows, and everything outside the windows became blurry. The sanatorium building seemed to have turned into a ship in the vast ocean.

"It's raining so heavily." said Gu Ran.

"You have no vision." The princess seemed to look down on him.

The rest of the people didn't react much either. Only Gu Ran and Chen Ke, two outsiders, felt shocked by what they saw.

Li Xiaoye stopped making trouble, and the nurses lost interest in the ping-pong table. What good would it do to be strong? Bulldozers, road rollers, and cranes were even stronger.

In modern society, people rely more on brain power.

Su Qing led the second team to check the conditions of all the patients. Except for Hu Qian, the conditions of the others were basically stable.

The reason why it is called basic is that -

"I missed the rainstorm this year," the old man playing tug-of-war put his hand on the floor-to-ceiling window, "I can't play tug-of-war yet, but I hope I can go to space in the rainstorm next year." "This is the signal interference rainstorm that blocks all channels of {Chunshan}. This is my last chance." Li Xiaoye made up his mind.

"Master, don't think about those messy things. Take this opportunity to continue teaching me how to write a book." Gege said.

Li Xiaoye hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright, since I occupy Li Xiaoye's body, I have the responsibility to pass on his fire."

"Master, please tell me!" Gege took out her notebook.

“Writing is not a sprint. Temporary interest is the most useless. You must have the awareness of a long-term race.”

"Ah."

“You need to be patient, confident, and have a spirit of continuous improvement.”

"Ok!"

“You also need the courage to be lonely!”

"Uh-huh!"

"This is a road where people are eliminated all the time. Those who can walk it, no matter how great their achievements are, are all ascetics. Don't look at Mo Yan accepting interviews all day long. As long as he wants to continue writing books, sooner or later he will be alone and quiet again. Do you have this awareness?"

"No!" Gege said immediately, "I just want to earn enough money to support myself."

"waste!"

"what?"

"Remember my words and pass them on to someone who is destined to inherit my legacy."

"Master, what do you think of my other personality? She can do homework for eight hours and can definitely stand loneliness!"

"If you really want to be able to endure loneliness, where did you come from?" Li Xiaoye disagreed, "Among the people I've met, only Zhuang Jing and Gu Ran are okay."

"It's okay for Dean Zhuang Jing, but Dr. Gu's waist and kidneys are so healthy, why should he just make do?" Gege was dissatisfied.

"He is crazy."

"Could it be that..." Gege put his pen-holding hand on his chin, "'trash' and 'madman' are both complimenting words? Is that right, Master?"

"Teacher, I think you have a talent for comedy. You might be successful if you write this kind of novel."

"Really?! Thank you, Master!"

Li Xiaoye looked at the rain outside the floor-to-ceiling window and stopped talking.

Gege secretly gave him a middle finger.

"I was teasing him, but he took it seriously." She said to Xie Xiya.

"Maybe he knows, but he thinks you're stupid for pretending to be stupid?" Xie Xiya tried to ask.

Gege took a deep breath and gave her the middle finger.

Xie Xiya had lost interest in Gege. She looked at Gu Ran in the distance. They were talking about something very interesting.

"With such heavy rain and a typhoon, will it end tonight?" Gu Ran asked.

"If it's not over, you can stay in Jinghai." Su Qing said.

"What about the clothes?" Chen Ke was curious.

"No." He Qingyan smiled happily.

"."Chen Ke looked at Su Qing.

"There is a dryer." Su Qing explained, "Wearing the same clothes for two consecutive days is unbearable sometimes. Let's learn from Gu Ran."

"What kind of image do you have of me?" Gu Ran was puzzled.

"It's probably okay to wear the same outfit for a month, no, a year."

"As long as it is cleaned on the same day and there is no damage, it will be fine for the rest of your life."

Su Qing looked at Gu Ran.

"Although she didn't say a word, Su Qing's heart became further away from Gu Ran." He Qingyan commented.

"A little bit sloppy." Chen Ke said with a smile.

"I have no interest in dressing up at all." said Gu Ran.

"When a person's heart is hardened, even a nail cannot be driven into it." Su Qing exclaimed in admiration.

"It's just a matter of changing clothes, not taking a bath. Don't make it seem like I haven't taken a bath for a year."

As long as the typhoon doesn't stop tonight, will Dr. Gu stay here? Xie Xiya pondered.

Then she turned to Gege and said, "Gege, I need your help."

"What's the deal?"

"Let's go attack Doctor Gu tonight."

".Can I refuse?"

"Don't you think this is a fun game?"

“That’s not the problem.”

"What is that? Do you want money? I can give you money that you can enjoy for the rest of your life without having to write books." Xie Xiya said.

"Not that, although that's also important. Actually, I'm still a virgin."

".Hmm?" Xie Xiya tilted her head to express confusion.

"Don't you think it will be difficult to let a virgin attack at night?" Gege asked back.

"When I say night raid, I mean go to Dr. Gu's room and pretend that it's windy and rainy outside. It's troublesome to go back to the ward, so I can only sleep with him for one night. But your suggestion gave me a new idea."

(In this way, even if an accident occurs, it can be said that it was the Gege who instigated it.)
Gu Ran, who was using [mind reading] to monitor the patient's thoughts and prevent accidents, felt that Xie Xiya, the beautiful high school student, needed to receive other psychological treatment.

"Let's start working." Su Qing said.

The only one with a clear job is Chen Ke, she has to hypnotize Li Xiaoye and extract his "talent".

The rest of the people had almost nothing to do, as the conditions of the remaining patients could not be cured in a day or two.

In fact, working in the {sanatorium building} can only be considered a probation period, and their real workplace in the future will be in the {ward}.

By then, Su Qing and He Qingyan will be able to show their talents as psychologists that are truly far ahead of their peers.

For example, Chen Ke doesn’t have a [heart wall] yet.

Gu Ran is an exception.

The typhoon got stronger during lunch.

Looking out, everything outside the window was immersed in deep darkness, and the thick clouds above seemed to have swallowed up the entire Haicheng.

When I entered the cafeteria and opened the door, the whole cafeteria seemed to expand because of the sudden influx of air.

It retracts back to its original shape when the door is closed.

After lunch, I returned to the office, and even when I walked in the corridor, my body was almost half wet.

While I was drying my hair with a towel, the phone on my desk rang. It was the hospital's internal phone.

Before Su Qing and the others could react, Gu Ran had already picked up the phone and pressed the speaker button.

"Gu Ran?" The lazy and intellectual voice belonged to Yan Hanxiang.

"Aunt Xiang, it's me." Gu Ran responded with a little confusion.

"Are you free at noon? If so, come to my office. The new perfume combined with this weather may help you enter the [Black Dragon Dream]."

"Okay, I'll be right away."

After hanging up the phone, without Gu Ran explaining anything, Su Qing said, "Go ahead. When you leave, it's a good time for us to take off our clothes and dry them."

"My clothes are wet too. I can dry them before going."

"You can take off your clothes and we'll do it when you come back." Su Qing smiled.

Gu Ran put on his clothes and left.

《Personal Diary》: September 23, Wednesday, Jinghai during the typhoon
I have never seen such heavy rain and such strong wind. All the trees were shaking, as if a group of troops were preparing to go to war under the summons of the strong wind.

Su Qing, He Qingyan, and Chen Ke were taking off their clothes in the office. If I could spend my whole life in this office, even if I died, my bones would still be smiling.

Xie Xiya is so scary.

"Doctor's Diary":
Master Aqiu really hopes that there are Buddhas in the world, and Li Xiaoye becomes an ascetic monk for the sake of writing - they are both people who are sincere.

Only when you give your true heart will you be hurt.

(Zhuang Jing’s comment: In Farewell My Concubine, it is said, ‘It is true that one must be crazy to sing, but if one is also crazy while living, how can we live in this world, among these mortals!’ – Life should have both tension and relaxation.)
