Love in a mental hospital

Chapter 398: Rumors that are not true: women like someone who makes them laugh, but love someone who makes them cry.

"Attend class."

With Xie Xiya as his backer, Gu Ran felt that he was incredibly strong.

The kind that won’t lose even if you stand on the left side of the wave!

"Gu Ran." The petite but serious female Chinese teacher looked at the student closest to the trash can.

Gu Ran stood up and looked down at the classroom. He had never felt it was so small.

"It seems like he is complaining about his frustrated life." After saying this, the Chinese teacher put on a listening expression.

"I continue to play the piano with my brows lowered, expressing all the infinite things in my heart." Xie Xiya whispered softly. For certain syllables, her lips needed to be slightly raised. At this time, her lips would just brush against Gu Ran's ears.

Desire to touch but not to touch.

Gu Ran didn't know how to recite the original text of "Pipa Xing" in the first place, and at this moment he even forgot whether it was a Chinese class or a math class.

Xie Xiya glanced at Gu Ran in front of her.

His appearance hadn't changed from when he was twenty, though he looked less arrogant and more youthful, his eyes still as bright as the morning stars.

He was wearing a sports-style school uniform, with a straight torso, broad shoulders and long legs;
She was wearing a black school skirt, with a slim figure, a thin waist and long legs.

A numbing feeling tickled Xie Xiya's heart.

Perhaps this is the feeling when standing with the person destined for you, she thought.

No, she retorted, knowing a little about psychology, it was not destiny, but that she had this feeling because she was standing with the person she wanted to love with all her heart.

She felt happy.

There is a kind of people in the world who, when they feel happy, will become uneasy, worrying that the happiness at the moment is caused by their own misunderstanding.

Xie Xiya thought that Gu Ran would say "come on" to her and let her join in the dream exploration, which might also be a form of therapy.

Just like some psychiatrists who hug patients who lack love.

In Gu Ran's heart, perhaps he did not take her love seriously. He just thought it was the ignorance of a high school girl and the momentary infatuation of a girl who lacked love.

To put it nicely, it's a therapy.

To be honest, he is just entertaining himself.

An inexplicable feeling of anger and irritation surged in Xie Xiya's heart.

It all depends on their identities, patient and doctor, and she is just his case.

Fortunately, Xie Xiya did not keep making trouble, Gu Ran's ears were freed, and his tense yet relaxed mind returned to normal.

The Chinese teacher asked them to recite a few sentences, and he leaned on Xie Xiya and recited them all.

"Yeah." The Chinese teacher finally nodded, "Not bad, sit down."

【Dream Carrier】

[Function: Can fly in most dreams, carrying up to four master-level psychiatrists, with certain supply and capture capabilities]

"The supply and capture are all aimed at my mother and Aunt Jing?" He Qingyan was mischievous.

"Supply is, but capture is definitely not." Gu Ran said.

"How do you replenish supplies?" He Qingyan asked again, "Is it the same as replenishing magic?"

After all, with a patient like Gege, it's not surprising that he knows how to replenish magic.

If magic is a kind of spiritual power, then replenishing magic through close contact makes sense psychologically.

"Let's give it a try." Yan Hanxiang said, "Gu Ran, what should we do?"

"Just stand behind the podium." Gu Ran replied.

Yan Hanxiang walked to the podium and stood there.

On the way to the [Drifting Classroom], she had consumed most of her energy and needed replenishment.

Standing behind the podium for a while and looking at the classroom in front of her, Yan Hanxiang recalled a series of happy things that happened when she was in school.

Especially the half year when I was studying in North City and was with Gu Ran, even though it was just a dream.

When she came to her senses, she was already full of energy.

"I see." She laughed.

"How is it?" Zhuang Jing asked.

"I rely on the good memories of school life to improve my mood and replenish my energy."

"Then what about those who don't have good memories on campus? Take Su Qing for example," said He Qingyan.

"Who can I blame for not having a good time in school?" Su Qing asked her.

"Of course it's my fault~" He Qingyan was not ashamed, but rather very proud.

But whether it exists or not is still uncertain.

It seemed dark at the time, but looking back now, it seems beautiful - this happens from time to time.

"Now try sailing and catching." Zhuang Jing said.

Gu Ran said, "Go to class."

An operating interface that only he could see popped up beside him.

No need to use hands, you can operate with your mind to prevent random thoughts from affecting the operation. There is an extra step of 'look at the interface and tap the confirmation button with your mind'.

Yan Hanxiang noticed that everyone was looking behind her, so she turned around. The blackboard turned into a screen, and the world outside the classroom was floating on the screen.

Total darkness.

Up and down, left and right, all around, there is only abyss.

It's like a meteorite suspended in the universe. There is not a single shining star within billions of light years, or it's pitch black because the light is blocked.

"It seems like we are the only humans left in the universe." Su Qing whispered.

I didn't dare speak loudly for fear of waking up the monster in the dark.

"Spaceship!" He Qingyan was the only one who was excited, because her brain also had a part of the abyss, "Forward four!"

With a patient like Li Xiaoye on hand, it makes sense for him to know "The Three-Body Problem".

But she only had a partial understanding.

Gu Ran knew very well that if a person was not in a deep-sea protection state when moving forward four hours, his body would be stretched into thin paper due to the excessive weight.

"Forward." Gu Ran gave the order.

The one-story teaching building consisting of four classrooms and a bathroom, was an abandoned boat that had been floating in the dream universe for a long time. It finally woke up with this command.

Everyone's steps became chaotic, and they relied on the welded tables and chairs to support their shaking bodies.

The classroom began to move forward.

Gu Ran suddenly remembered that he failed to recite "Pipa Xing" at that time, and his Chinese teacher said something.

'If you step back any further, you'll end up in the trash can.'

It was a very cold comment, making it hard to tell whether it was a teacher's admonition to students or a woman's emotional outburst.

Gu Ran, a freshman in high school, has not yet gotten rid of his inferiority complex and believes that it was the latter, an adult with certain judgment authority, who said he was trash.

In fact, it was just a small matter, but Gu Ran blushed very much at that time and felt sorry for Zhuang Jing.

He thought the matter was over, but it turned out he just didn't think about it.

Everyone soon lost interest in the blackboard that turned into a screen, and explored around, only to find that there was no change in the four classrooms.

Back in the classroom, Zhuang Jing said, "Xiao Ran, take a look at the tasks to see if there are any changes to the main tasks."

"it is good."

【Task】

[Main quest: Upgrade any lv1 skill to lv2 (automatic training starts after selection)]

[Side Quest: Cure Yiqing (Automatic Navigation)]

[Side quest: Continue classes tonight (automatic navigation)]

"After the Spring Dream Fruit is upgraded, maybe I can go to anyone's room I want!" He Qingyan said.

"I won't hide it either. I really like this effect, but I don't like the process of upgrading to level 2," said Gu Ran.

"That's right. If you get too hungry and the head nurse and Yiqing push the door in, you'll be done for."

Chen Ke was about to say something but stopped herself. She wanted to say, does it matter if it’s Teacher Zhuang Jing or Professor Yan Hanxiang?
"How about a fool's dream?" Su Qing suggested.

"Mind Reading, The Heart Sutra of Controlling Women, and God's Eye are also good." He Qingyan was conflicted, as if it was her choice.

"Xiao Ran, what do you think?" Zhuang Jing asked. "I also want to improve, but I'm afraid." Gu Ran said, "I treat dreams as a game, and you gave me a [game account]. I think you only have one purpose, which is to make me not care too much about dreams, but I can't do it now."

"Then wait a while." Yan Hanxiang said simply, "It's not like we can't live without your dream. The materials we have now are enough for us to study for a while. We will continue when you are fully prepared."

Zhuang Jing also nodded and said, "Don't come to the dreamland again in the near future, so that your roots can grow deeper in the soil of reality."

"Yeah." Gu Ran nodded.

Su Qing looked at Gu Ran with her clear and beautiful eyes.

Compared to dreams that are bizarre and interesting, and can even make your wishes come true, how can reality win this tug-of-war?

Su Qing thought of Gege and Liu Zijun.

Gu Ran is not at their level yet, but he must be on guard.

She thought of Du Ruobing again.

If she died, or Zhuang Jing passed away one day, Gu Ran would definitely look for a solution or seek comfort in his dreams.

Until the dream ended, nothing other than darkness appeared in the vision of the drifting classroom.

He Qingyan even suggested playing hide-and-seek.

Of course Gu Ran refused. The terrain here is simple, how can we have fun?
◇

Thursday, sunny and windy.

I heard that many shops were closed today, so I went to the beach carrying a surfboard placed in front of the shop like a sign.

After the morning rounds were over and the patients had finished washing, eating and drinking, Su Qing found Gege.

The two sat on a bench under the banana tree, and Su Qing bought Gege a bottle of Coca-Cola, which was prohibited in the sanatorium.

"I'll buy Pepsi next time. I like niche products." Ge opened the can and drank it.

Su Qing unscrewed the bottle cap and drank the new moon mineral water recently launched by Wahaha, which is said to have good beauty effects.

"One sip of this is more effective than, hiccup, taking medicine for a week!" said Gege.

"I want to ask you something." Su Qing said.

"Go ahead and tell me." Gege had expected this and took another sip of Coke.

“How can one stop someone from becoming addicted to a very fun game?”

"No choice, just wait to die. By the way, please tell me the name of the game."

"You think of a way."

"Really not—"

"Where do you want to go on Saturday and Sunday?" Su Qing asked.

"——Not without it." Gege said, "Do you know what I do?"

"student."

"No, I'm playing with you." Gege said, "No matter how fun the game is, if the friends you played with quit the game, it means you don't play anymore, and it's meaningless."

"Let's play together." Su Qing murmured.

Gege's face was pressed against hers: "Sister Su Qing, I want to go surfing, fishing, setting off fireworks, and having a barbecue."

She blinked her eyes repeatedly, like the sparks from a lighter, trying to ignite the liquid.

"Aren't you tired of playing yet?" Su Qing was surprised.

"How do you think I became the best in Haicheng? When others were surfing, I was studying; when others were fishing, I was studying; when others were setting off fireworks, I was studying."

"To satisfy you." Su Qing smiled.

"Thank you, Sister Qing. Sister Qing is the best and the most beautiful!" Gege hugged Su Qing's arm affectionately with the hand that was not holding the Coke.

Three birds with one stone.

Not only did he know how to quit Internet addiction, but he also compensated Gege for her youth - which was good for her illness, and he also took Gu Ran out to play, so that he would dream less.

While Su Qing was looking for Gege, He Qingyan also looked for Xie Xiya.

"What's wrong with you?" He Qingyan asked.

Two people stood in the corner, the doctor in white clothes cornered the high school girl in black school skirt - at least that's what it looked like.

"What's wrong with me?" Xie Xiya asked back in confusion.

"In the dream, we didn't talk afterwards. Something was wrong from the moment Gu Ran recited "Pipa Xing". Were you disappointed with him in high school? Did you dislike poor students?"

Xie Xiya hugged her right arm with her left hand and stood there without saying a word.

He Qingyan looked at her: "It doesn't matter if you don't like it, no one will force you"

"No." Xie Xiya said, "It's not that I don't like it, I just suddenly feel that -"

She hesitated.

"What do you think?" He Qingyan tilted her head slightly, motioning her to continue.

"——Did Doctor Gu tell me to cheer up and try hard to get into the Psychology Department of Shanghai City University? He was just comforting me, a form of therapy. He actually didn't like me at all."

"That's possible." He Qingyan nodded. "He is a drama therapist and is best at acting."

"Aren't you worried?" Xie Xiya asked, "You also have psychological problems. Aren't you worried that he's also acting on you?"

He Qingyan laughed: "You stinky woman, it's fine if you just let your imagination run wild, but you also make alarmist remarks to me."

She looked around, leaned her arms on the wall, and formed the legendary wall-dong position for Xie Xiya.

Fortunately, Xie Xiya no longer had a head nurse and strongly rejected the personal caregiver arranged by her mother, otherwise He Qingyan would not have succeeded.

He Qingyan whispered, "In psychotherapy, the most important thing is honesty and mutual trust. The same is true in love. If you are worried, why don't you ask him directly instead of just imagining it yourself?"

"Will he answer?" Xie Xiya looked at He Qingyan without avoiding.

They were both slightly shocked.

She is so bright and beautiful, and she is so pure and innocent.

"Your suspicion is not without reason." He Qingyan smiled, "Do you know why Jinghai is different from other mental hospitals? Including your previous hospital?"

"why?"

"Today I will teach you a lesson for free - psychologists often face the temptation of going to hell if I don't, as if they can save their patients by just jumping off a cliff.

“To avoid this, psychologists must guard themselves.

“And the best way to protect yourself is to follow the rules and follow a routine, unchanging treatment procedure.

“Jinghai is different. Although he also learns skills, what is more important than skills is to treat the patient as a human being.

“This is reflected in treatment, which means creating a unique treatment plan based on the different patients, rather than choosing the treatment that the doctor likes or is good at.

"So, it's entirely possible that Gu Ran pretended to like you in order to save you. There was once a psychiatrist who went to bed with a patient every time he met him in order to save him."

"What about you? Don't you doubt whether Gu Ran is sincere to you?" Xie Xiya asked.

"Don't worry." He Qingyan replied.

"Can you guarantee it's true?"

"No." He Qingyan smiled. "The psychiatrist who slept with the patient was eventually fired by the Psychological Association. The patient did not report him, but the patient's husband suspected him. The doctor told the truth himself because he fell in love with the patient and did not want to pretend that nothing happened between them in order to protect himself. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Fake becomes real?" Xie Xiya pondered.

"Psychologists are not robots. They also have their own joys and sorrows." He Qingyan gently stroked Xie Xiya's face with the back of her finger. "You are so beautiful, how could he not be moved?"

Xie Xiya said nothing.

He Qingyan suddenly sneered: "You have changed."

Xie Xiya looked puzzled.

"At the beginning, you just wanted to find someone who could bring you happiness, or in other words, you only planned to seek happiness from Gu Ran. You didn't care whether he really liked you or who he slept with last night, or you decided not to care.

"Now--"

He Qingyan looked at the high school girl with interest and a little sympathy.

She said: "Xiya, you have completely fallen in love with him and started to worry that he doesn't love you anymore."

----

Diary: October 28, Thursday, sunny

Dr. He is right. I don’t want to fall in love with Dr. Gu. I just want to like him.

I don’t care what he does, and I don’t care who he loves. I keep my distance and don’t care, so that we can get along happily and get happiness from him.

I fell in love with him, how about him towards me?

Can I ask directly?
