Love in a mental hospital

Chapter 319: Auntie at the High-speed Railway Station
The train station at night has a different atmosphere.

This is what Chen Ke said, but Gu Ran wasn't sure whether it was true or not because he had never been to the train station during the day.

Of course not at night either.

Su Qing, Chen Ke, He Qingyan, Xie Xiya, Gege, An Yao, and Fei Xiaoxiao each had a suitcase, which could be piled up into a small hill.

Gu Ran only has one schoolbag.

"Two days, is it that important?" he asked.

"In fact, the box is basically empty." Chen Ke explained with a smile, "It's just that the box is easy to pull and convenient, while the bag is uncomfortable to carry."

"Besides, you don't buy anything when you go to South City?" Su Qing said, "If you buy something, you have to have a place to put it."

"What to buy?" Gu Ran asked himself.

"Salted duck?" After Fei Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she looked like she might as well give it up.

"Nougat?" Chen Ke was not sure if this was a specialty of South City.

"It seems to be duck blood vermicelli?" Fei Xiaoxiao whispered to her to confirm.

Chen Ke shook his head with amusement, meaning: I don’t know whether it is true or not.

"Two fake South City people." Gege commented mercilessly.

"By the way, why are you here?" Gu Ran asked.

"Doctor Gu, don't you study on Saturdays and Sundays?" Xie Xiya raised the textbook in her hand, which was "Cognitive Behavioral Theory".

What she meant was that wherever teacher Su Qing was, student Xie Xiya should be there.

To get back to the point, it is not just a question of whether Gu Ran studies on Saturdays and Sundays. For a lifelong learner like him, even on the night of his wedding, he would probably pay attention to Su Qing's mood.

According to Xie Xiya's logic, doesn't it mean that she should also be there on the wedding night?
What to study?
Never mind, it’s more fun when there are more people.

"Please watch the bag for me." He said to Su Qing.

"Go to the toilet?" Su Qing asked.

"Strolling." Gu Ran drew a circle, "I haven't been here before."

"I'll turn around too!" Gege jumped up and pulled Xie Xiya up, "Xiya, take a picture for me."

"Okay." Xie Xiya, wearing a white shirt, black suit, and black school skirt, stood up.

"Pay attention to the time, don't take too long." He Qingyan reminded Gu Ran with a smile.

Gu Ran glared at her.

"I brought a power bank in my bag, and I charged it for my own use."

After saying that, he, Xie Xiya, and Gege walked side by side in the station which could be described as vast. The ticket gate was like a high-tech portal, but behind it was just a simple escalator - you could also take the stairs.

There is a very interesting thing.

According to Gu Ran's observation, outsiders are embarrassed to speak their hometown dialect in the city, but in a place like the station, they can speak it freely and naturally.

In this place, there are young people dressed boldly, as well as old people who look like they are from the last century. Some people put paper towels on their seats, and some people sit on the ground and eat instant noodles.

These people rarely dislike each other. Is it because they are of high quality, or because this is a train station and the other party is just a tall building outside the window or a village with a strong smell of farm manure?
Gu Ran opened the [Eye of God].

In an instant, countless words floated above the waiting hall. The scene looked both weird and witchcraft-like, and also like high-tech punk style.

The incident happened just as Fei Xiaoxiao put her hand on An Yao's leg and couldn't help stroking it while saying, "Your legs are so long."

"What's the matter?" The policeman brought by Gege asked Gu Ran.

"She stole other people's things." Gu Ran pointed at an old lady.

The policeman glanced at the old lady and then looked at Gu Ran again.

Gu Ran took out his phone and pulled up his psychologist qualification certificate: "I'm 80% sure."

There was a phrase "Thief on impulse" floating above the aunt's head.

Even if he acted on impulse, he was still a thief. It would be fine if he didn't see it, but if he saw it and didn't say anything, Gu Ran would feel uncomfortable.

I have said it many times, a psychologist will never make himself uncomfortable, even if it means sending someone to a detention center.

"There is no evidence." The policeman seemed a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." Gu Ran smiled brightly, "Anyway, I've told you my observations. It's up to you, police officer, to decide what to do."

Psychologists are such a cold and selfish group.

The policeman's face wrinkled as if it was paper being pinched.

After some hesitation, the police officer asked, "Are you sure?"

"Go ahead. If it's a misunderstanding, you apologize and I'll write a self-criticism. The police and the public are like one family." Gu Ran said.

"If apologies are useful, the police will still be needed to do it. You are the police." Gege said.

The policeman's face looked like a piece of paper that had been pinched in two pieces.

After some hesitation, the policeman walked towards the old lady, who was eating oranges calmly, and immediately showed a vigilant and evasive attitude.

Although the policeman's face was pinched twice, fortunately his eyelids were not pinched together. Anyone with eyesight could tell that something was wrong with the old lady.

"Hello, please show me your ID card and ticket." The police still did not dare to directly identify the other party as a thief.

As long as we have the aunt's information, if someone really loses something and calls the police afterwards, the person can be identified immediately.

The aunt took out her ID card and ticket in a panic.

"Auntie, what do the police want to see you about?" Gu Ran suddenly leaned out from behind the policeman.

The policeman was so scared that he almost threw him over the head.

"This is the first time I've seen them check my ID card and ticket." The old lady continued to eat her oranges nonchalantly, with an attitude of 'I haven't done anything bad, so it's okay if the surveillance camera is installed at all'.

"Comrade police officer." Gu Ran said, "Just now when I was in the restroom, someone was fixing her hair and put her phone on the sink. I saw her take it away in the men's restroom."

The police looked at the old lady.

"Young man, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Cellphone cases mean getting rich." After saying that, Gu Ran left.

"Let's go." He called out to Xie Xiya and Gege to retreat, as if he had lit the fuse that would blow up the station, and they would die if they didn't run.

After walking a little further away, Xie Xiya asked, "Doctor Gu, are you sure?"

"determine."

"So, you really peeked into the women's restroom from the men's restroom?" Gege said.

"I did see the sink." Gu Ran did not deny it.

"Huh~"

Chaos suddenly broke out at the back.

If you put up a camera, it would be like a movie shot - the three people turned around at the same time, as if they had rehearsed it.

The aunt ran away.

Is there still a chance to make merit? Just as Gu Ran was thinking this, the policeman rushed over and quickly pushed the old lady to the ground.

"Oh!"

All the passengers in the waiting hall stood up. It didn't look like a crime scene, but more like seeing oil bubbling out of the ground.

Even the queue that had already started ticket checking paused and looked over here. Not only the first person, but also the second, the middle, and the last person were all looking over here.

At this moment, except for the machines which are still working, everyone else has stopped.

The matter was not over yet. The aunt showed her true brute strength, as she never went to the gym but often did hard labor. She knocked the policeman over and started running again.

"Come on!" Some young people started to cheer, and it was unclear whether they were cheering for the old lady or the police.

There were also men who were eager to try, but what stopped them from coming out to do the heroic thing was not only that the ticket check time was approaching, but they were also shy.

A few more police officers showed up and caught the old lady like a running cat, taking her away. After a while, an announcement was made saying that an iPhone 15 Pro had been found and the owner was asked to claim it.

"Doctor Gu, you are amazing." Xie Xiya said.

"I'll just pretend that your peeping into the women's restroom never happened." Gege said.

Gu Ran dared to guarantee that if she raised her voice one decibel louder, the police would ask him to take out his ID card and ticket with an embarrassed look on his face.

The three returned to the 'suitcase gathering place'.

"What's wrong?" Su Qing asked.

They were far away from the oil discovery site and did not see the excitement.

There was no need for Gu Ran to speak, Gege had already described in vivid detail how Gu Ran saw what happened in the women's restroom from the men's restroom.

She also gave an example of a professor who liked to use a telescope and accidentally witnessed a rape case. However, he did not dare to testify in court because he was worried that people would say that the professor liked to voyeur.

Gu Ran, however, disregarded his own reputation and bravely stood up to point out the criminal.

"Oh~" He Qingyan applauded.

She wanted to tease Gu Ran, but Gu Ran's mind was not on her.

Gu Ran looked at An Yao and Fei Xiaoxiao. Fei Xiaoxiao's hand was always stroking An Yao's long legs.

"Do you mind?" he asked An Yao.

"You want to touch it too?" An Yao asked him, "I mind."

"What do you mean? Do you really think I peeked into the women's restroom?" Gu Ran finally decided to cause trouble for He Qingyan.

He Qingyan patted her legs and smiled, "I don't mind."

He Qingyan's legs are not as long as An Yao's, but just like the most beautiful mountain in the world is not Mount Everest, longer legs are not necessarily better.

Any man who sees An Yao's legs will be amazed, but anyone who sees He Qingyan's legs will have impure thoughts.

As for Su Qing's legs, they are even more amazing.

Gu Ran, who has touched many beautiful legs, can say that so far, he has not had much reaction when touching legs. He simply feels comfortable in his heart. However, when he touches Su Qing's legs, he feels impulsive.

In fact, whether there is no reaction depends on the atmosphere and what you are going to do next.

"Get ready for ticket checking~" Chen Ke made the voice of a kindergarten teacher coaxing a child.

"Okay~" Everyone answered in unison, using the tone of a child answering a teacher.

Amidst laughter and joy, everyone stood up and lined up for ticket checking. Su Qing handed Gu Ran's extremely light bag to him, and Gu Ran naturally took her bag and her suitcase.

This was a self-funded trip with no reimbursement, but everyone still decided to travel business class at first because the majority of people were wealthy.

If he had not become Su Qing's boyfriend, he would not have to pay a dowry or buy a house in the future. Gu Ran would not even sit in first or second class, let alone business class.

He either stays in his rental house reading or takes the bus to free attractions.

When he was studying in the north city, Gu Ran could not get used to the roads there. They were too wide, especially Chang'an Avenue. The road was so wide that a poor country boy like him did not dare to walk on it, as if it was a precious carpet.

He still likes the alley where he can smell the aroma of cooking at mealtime.

But now he is used to flying first class and business class. People are like this, they can get used to anything, whether it is illness or happiness.

Of course, they were only planning to sit in business class this time, but there were too many people and not enough tickets, and in order to sit together as much as possible, they ended up sitting in second class.

This is also why Gu Ran said that he has a power bank and he can use it when he wants - only the chairs in the business class waiting hall can be charged.

When checking tickets, Gu Ran secretly glanced at where the person in front of him put his ID card on the machine to avoid embarrassment.

Psychologists are not afraid of embarrassment, but that doesn't mean they will act casually. They will try to avoid embarrassment if possible.

Check your ticket, arrive at the platform, and find your location according to the landmarks.

It was getting dark late in Haicheng. At this moment, the sun had just passed the horizon and its afterglow was still in the sky, dyeing the world red and making the huge platform look like it was on Mars.

A train roared past, and the air seemed to become slightly materialized.

Even though he knew the probability of something going wrong was extremely low, Gu Ran still felt a little nervous.

The lights in the train have been turned on, and the passengers sitting by the windows all have indifferent expressions. Under the warm yellow light, each window is a half-length painting of a person.

The end point is the Fuxing train entering the station in the south city.

Everyone entered the carriage and sat down according to their seat numbers, and the train slowly drove out of the station.

But within a few minutes, it was already dark, and the tall buildings were full of lights. Sometimes there were National Day slogans such as "Happy Birthday, Motherland" that had not been removed in time, and sometimes there were advertisements such as "Haicheng one-stop travel, call xxx for details."

"Do you want to eat it?" The princess sitting in the front secretly handed over a box of jackfruit.

The loneliness of catching the bus at night suddenly disappeared, just like walking a long night road and finally getting home, and everyone at home is eating hot pot. Dad asks you to sit down, mom gets you chopsticks and a bowl, and your sister hands you a bottle of drink with a smile.

The carriage was generally quiet, but their small group seemed to be on a picnic. The atmosphere was relaxed and happy, and the jackfruit was so fragrant and sweet.

"This core will grow leaves if you soak it in water. You can keep it for fun." Fei Xiaoxiao said, holding the jackfruit core.

"I saw the circle of friends you posted a few days ago, which mentioned something about an intermediate professional and technical qualification certificate. Do lawyers have this in addition to their lawyer's license?" Gu Ran asked.

Su Qing opened a bag of candies, ate only one herself, and gave the rest to him.

From this we can see that she was in a very good mood at the moment.

Gu Ran caught the candy and continued looking at Fei Xiaoxiao.

"Yes." Fei Xiaoxiao said, "Lawyers are divided into paralegal, fourth-level lawyers, third-level lawyers, second-level lawyers, and first-level lawyers. I am now at the third level."

"I don't know much about lawyers, but the average age for an intermediate professional title is 30 years old. Xiaoxiao, you are very capable." Su Qing said with a smile.

"I just met the requirements, so I gave it a try. I didn't expect to pass it in one try." Fei Xiaoxiao seems humble, but she is actually showing off.

"That's awesome. I'll treat you to dinner tonight." He Qingyan said casually while eating a candy from Gu Ran's hand.

".Okay." Fei Xiaoxiao agreed with great difficulty.

It is not cheap to treat eight people to a meal.

"What should I do in Nancheng?" An Yao finally asked his doubts.

"Aunt Jing, the great Dean Zhuang Jing, suggested that I take you hiking."

"Going hiking in South City?"

"There is Qixia Mountain in the south of the city." Chen Ke is eating 'Ni Mei Shi Ba' (sour plums).

"You can also climb the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum." Fei Xiaoxiao is eating 'Are You Happy?' (happy nuts).

"Is Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum a tomb?" Xie Xiya asked, "If we go to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, does that count as visiting the tomb?"

Everyone ate a few bites of food in silence.

"Do you want to eat some gummy candy?" Gu Ran asked.

"Eat." The extremely beautiful girl took it with a smile.

"I want one too!" Gege just wanted to steal something.

"Let's go boating in Xuanwu Lake," Chen Ke suggested.

"Yes!" Fei Xiaoxiao nodded carefully, "We can also go to Jiming Temple."

"I heard," Xie Xiya said while eating candy, "it's easy for couples to break up when they go to Jiming Temple?"

".Spit out the gummy bear." Gu Ran was capable of doing such a thing.

That's the kind of person he is.

"Private Diary": On Friday, October 9, on the high-speed train from Haicheng to Nancheng
I always feel that being just a psychologist is a bit of a waste of my talent. I can go out into the wider world and help more people.

It's all I can think about. Once parapsychology is exposed, I won't be able to help others, not even myself.

The night outside the window is so beautiful.
