The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

The gorilla's howling has some effect.

At least it brought You Lian to her senses, causing her to abandon the idea of ​​continuing to push forward with "eating".

You can only talk about giving up something if you have it.

In fact, You Lian almost agreed.

But a gorilla's mournful cry made her suddenly realize that this was a treatment area, not a no-man's land.

Doing this in broad daylight is going too far.

"I'll go find you some food."

After writing this line of words, You Lian got up and left.

She pushed open the door and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

While you can relax, new worries arise.

She really wanted to explain the situation to Lu Yuan immediately.

Tell him we're just siblings.

She wanted to use this to sever ties and prevent him from continuing to make demands.

But the biggest problem is that I promised him that there would be battle scenes when we grew up.

If she refused him, then You Lian would truly be a fraud.

Because of the promises I made to Lu Yuan, from big things like never leaving him and raising him to adulthood, to small things like buying him a computer and going to the city...

None of these things have come to fruition to this day.

When you least want to lie, everything happens to be a lie.

There was only one thing left that I mentioned casually at the time, thinking that I would forget about it when I grew up.

It became the only promise that could be kept.

"No, no, this is going too far with the meal."

You Lian shook her head, feeling that she couldn't accept it all at once.

This is going too far.

I'll call the nurse to bring me food later; I can't bear the long distance.

...

Lu Yuan, lying on the hospital bed, also breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Luckily, I had a quick wit and came up with the clever trick of thinking I was hungry and wanted to eat to get by.

Otherwise, Xiao Luyuan might have met his end here today.

But as you relax, new worries arise.

What should we do next?

The days that followed in the hospital were bound to be filled with harassment.

I need to avoid her.

If you can't afford to offend them, you can at least avoid them.

With this thought in mind, Lu Yuan got out of bed and walked straight past the gorilla.

"Brother, can you let go of me too?"

"Those who betray me deserve this punishment."

"Brother, I'll listen to whatever you say from now on."

"Then tell me, how did you get in?"

"My family brought me here," the gorilla said to himself. "Because I have depression, my family wanted me to recover, so they brought me here."

Did your family members hit or verbally abuse you?

"No."

"Your parents are divorced?"

"no."

The gorilla kept shaking its head and said:

"My family treats me very well. It's my own fault. I studied hard but my grades weren't good, I tried to date but my girlfriend dumped me, I worked hard but I still got fired, I tried to lose weight but I still failed..."

"This isn't right. You should blame your family of origin first."

Lu Yuan smiled.

He found the gorilla man quite interesting, so he sat down.

"Why do you think you developed depression?"

"Perhaps it's because he couldn't handle the series of setbacks..."

"Because you lied."

"This is the truth!" The gorilla thought Lu Yuan didn't believe him and kept insisting that he wasn't lying.

"I didn't say your situation wasn't true; I meant your efforts were a lie."

Lu Yuan asked him, "Is there a gene for obesity in your family, or are there any external factors that caused you to become fat?"

"no."

"Then you're lying, because it's impossible not to lose weight if you try."

Lu Yuan will not comment on the first three things the gorilla mentioned.

Because there are many factors that influence things like studying, dating, and working, it's true that you can't necessarily do well just by working hard.

He won't comment on things he doesn't understand.

But when it comes to losing weight...

If you say you've tried hard but still can't lose weight.

Then you just haven't tried hard enough.

The biggest enemy of weight loss is lying.

Because losing weight is a personal matter, lying is a way of deceiving oneself.

"The thing people fear most is deceiving themselves." Lu Yuan shook his head and patted the gorilla's arm: "When you're studying, dating, or working, do you also like to create a persona of hard work to impress yourself, and do you like to make some messy, nonsensical plans?"

Feeling good about yourself can be addictive, because fantasizing about your success also releases dopamine.

However, almost everything you work hard to achieve will not turn out as spectacularly as you imagine. Let alone someone like the gorilla who pretends to work hard, how many things in this world are truly rewarded in proportion to their effort?

It's much simpler to visualize psychological problems as physiological problems.

The dopamine that should have been released as a reward upon completing a task is prematurely depleted. The act of pretending to work hard during the process leads to a huge discrepancy between the outcome and expectations, leaving the nerves that should have been excited after completing the task without any reward, and even causing feelings of frustration.

If the underlying mechanisms of neural circuits are disrupted, who else but you will become depressed in the long run?

Lu Yuan shook his head. He'd practically memorized the saying, "Experience is the best teacher."

"So what should I do?"

"Ask a doctor, why are you asking me?"

Lu Yuan isn't here to treat patients.

He casually picked up the medicine that was on the gorilla's bedside table.

These are the psychiatric medications that the nurses left here for the nurses to administer.

It's perfectly normal to put it on the bedside table.

Because the two people were tied up, they would not normally be able to access the medication.

Lu Yuan picked up the medicine from the gorilla's bedside table and looked at it.

He also picked up the medicine on his bedside table and looked at it.

Different.

Different illnesses require different medications.

Lu Yuan had some doubts.

It comes from the information in the previous backtracking.

You Lian had personally told him that "there was something wrong with the medicine."

Because there are a large number of patients being forcibly admitted to the hospital.

Hospitals may choose to worsen the condition of these patients, preventing them from being discharged, in exchange for financial subsidies from the civil affairs department.

Lu Yuan didn't know if such a loophole existed in reality.

He felt that such a thing should not happen.

But this is a game, so any kind of setting is reasonable.

"Dr. Liu said that I am a patient who was forcibly detained, while the gorilla is not."

This is why Lu Yuan asked the gorilla about the situation.

He simply wanted to ask about the gorilla's original family.

If he's the kind of guy who gets a lot of attention from his family and pays for his hospitalization out of pocket, then the medication he's taking is probably normal.

After all, patients will eventually be discharged from the hospital, and if their families find out about this, they will definitely hold them accountable.

But for people like Lu Yuan...

"Do you still want to acknowledge me as your older brother?"

"think."

"Then I'll give you your first task."

Lu Yuan cleared his throat and said, "When the nurse comes in and asks where the medicine went, just say I went crazy and broke free, and took all the medicine."

"it is good."
