Don't be afraid, as long as...

As the door slowly opened halfway, she saw China.

The latter was sitting in a chair, holding a handle in his hand.

The body was tied to the chair with rope.

Chapter 61 Let's Play Games

"Chi, China?"

Su Shigang's carefully prepared words of heart-to-heart talk with Qian Nai came to an abrupt halt on the tip of his tongue.

Before her eyes, a strong safety rope wrapped around China's abdomen several times, binding her upper body to the back of the chair. Then, it passed through the gap between the rope loop and her abdomen, binding her slightly parted thighs to the armrest. Through her thin pajamas, her thighs were slightly concave due to the rope.

Then, they made a handcuff out of rope and handcuffed one of the wrists to the armrest.

Although not as shocking as the knife marks on her wrists earlier, the scene of China restraining herself once again brought a visual impact to Suze.

This was the solution that China had promised, a solution that would make Su Shi feel safe.

"It's the first time I've tied it up, so it's a bit rough, but it should be tight enough that it won't be easy to break free. If it's too tight, the blood won't circulate properly."

China used her remaining free hand to swing the rope end and throw it towards Sose.

The rope drew an arc in the air, like a python suddenly attacking, making Su Shi instinctively back down, but the former eventually collapsed to the ground after losing momentum.

"Please lead me to the television."

Before being tied up, China adjusted the chair to its highest height. At this point, her feet were not touching the ground, and her bare feet were slightly hooked in the air, as if her slippers were about to fall off.

In this way, she couldn't even move, and Su Shi had to pull the chair with a rope.

At the same time, the rope was three meters long, so it would take China a while to free her only free hand.

All the unspoken details told Su Shi that even if Qian Nai was a vampire who was about to pounce on her and bite her throat, such restraints would at least give Su Shi a few seconds to escape.

Would this make Su Shi feel very safe...?

At first, she found it quite bizarre and surprising.

Then, I felt awe at the other person's unusual way of restricting me in order to satisfy my desire for care, and at the same time, I felt ashamed of my own timidity and hesitation.

Is she taking care of me, or am I taking care of her?

But when she saw China, she thought of the term "bipolar disorder," and Su Shi didn't dare to be alone in a room with China, who had no restrictions.

Even though China is currently restrained, she looks very calm, and Sose's fear has only lessened from standing outside the door to daring to stand at the doorway.

Because once I face China, I will remember the sound of China banging on the wall and table just now, and I will imagine that China may be hiding a knife behind her at any time to break free from her restraints and make my wrists like hers.

Su Shi's previous malicious thoughts about China have now been transformed into fear.

No, that's not true! Chika is not that kind of person!

If that were the case, how could Aine have spent so much time with her!

She kept refuting her subconscious defensiveness.

After this incident, Su Shi plans to read some psychology books to study the human subconscious, to study her complex self, and to study how to get along with Qian Nai.

Now, feeling lost, I can only proceed cautiously, feeling my way across the river.

Following what China said, she slowly pulled China in front of the television.

During this process, China also gradually gets closer to Sosei.

Now, it's Su Shi's turn to get closer.

He took another handle from the TV cabinet and slowly approached Chika, his unease growing.

"Su Shi, I just took my medicine."

Chika seemed to be indicating that now that there was double insurance, it was safe to approach.

Holding the collar of her clothes, Su Shi silently walked to the "relatively safe" back of the chair.

Then, he extended his trembling middle finger and inserted it into the gap between China's side waist and the rope.

"So tight..."

Although China said she was worried about blood circulation and didn't tie it very tightly, Suze still had to use some effort to squeeze her fingers into the gap.

"It's so itchy~"

China let out a soft groan as she was poked, her suspended feet trembled slightly, and her slippers slid off her toes to the ground.

"Yes, sorry!"

Su Shi was startled and immediately withdrew her fingers, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her expression was somewhat embarrassed.

However, it was that delicate laughter just now, like a gentle breeze, that dispelled some of the unease in Su Shi's heart.

At the same time, the real feeling of being bound by the rope convinced her subconscious, gradually putting her at ease.

"Can we come and play now?" China asked, turning her head slightly.

"Um……"

Su Shi shifted the back of her chair so that Chi Nai's body was aligned with the television, then took a cushion from the cabinet and sat down next to Chi Nai.

Then, China picked out the games she wanted to play.

Overcooked seems to have earned the nickname "breakup kitchen" because poor player cooperation can lead to strong negative feedback and easily cause conflicts. I wonder if this is really true.

I heard that Yarn Elf 2 is quite easy to pick up and play.

Two people go together... China had seen other people playing it while browsing videos, so she had some impression of the beginning of the game.

China gave Su Shi a meaningful look.

"China, is the rope too tight?"

Su Shi was about to stand up and untie herself when Qian Nai shook her head.

"No need, just leave it tied up like this, just in case."

After a moment's hesitation, Su Shi sat back down.

Then, China opened the game.

The television screen went black, revealing an absurd scene: a young girl playing video games with another girl tied to a chair.

Once in the game, China clicked "Offline Game" and then gestured for Sosei and herself to press the "X" button on their controllers to enter the game.

“X key…” Su Shi found the key a little awkwardly and then pressed it.

If it's just cooking, it's fine, but if it's playing games, won't it drag Chika down...?

Then, unable to stand her own actions, she started yelling at herself and used her only functional hand to raise the controller and smash it against herself...

Here we go again. Stop letting your mind wander!

Even when I was with Chika before, I wasn't this terrified by her emotional fluctuations.

Don't look at her differently just because of her illness.

We're just people who experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness...

After Su Shi calmed down, the game began its opening animation.

In the afternoon, in a rural area, an old car drove back to its vicinity.

The father of one of the children in the house happened to come out to take out the trash and saw the child's mother coming home from get off work.

"Hey," the father greeted first.

"How was your day?" the mother, dressed in business attire, asked as she got out of the car.

"Excellent."

The father started with that, and then began talking about negative things.

"The bread machine is broken, and Ross refuses to eat vegetables."

At that moment, a girl named Ross was also outside the second-floor window of her house, and she could vaguely hear her parents' conversation growing increasingly agitated as they began to talk about divorce.

Seeing this, China pursed her lips and looked at Su Shi, who was frowning, as if she was reminiscing about the past.

"Would you like to skip the animation?"

Su Shi bowed slightly, then stood up and said.

"no need."

At the same time, she began to untie China's ropes.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported this novel.

After writing the first sentence above, I stared at the screen for about half an hour, struggling to find the right words without writing anything. Perhaps it was because of the special nature of the subject matter of this book.

I want to start by saying "keep going" to my friends who are also facing similar psychological issues.

Please forgive my limited ability to express myself. As a non-psychiatrist and non-professional in the field, I dare not offer too much advice. Regarding my own psychological condition, I believe that avoiding certain key phrases is the best approach to treatment, so I cannot share this information with you. Please understand.

Perhaps this is the first time most readers have seen a novel featuring bipolar disorder as the main character, and some may be learning about the term for the first time. So, I felt a sense of mission while writing this novel, which has a certain uniqueness. Therefore, regardless of the results, I wanted to create a complete story.

最后:

This world is not perfect, but there will always be someone protecting you!

Astronomy Department Student Activity Report: Summer Triangle Observation Log

Recorder: Chinatsu Toyohashi

I. Introduction to the Activity

In the summer night sky, three bright stars stand out: Vega in Lyra, Deneb in Cygnus, and Altair in Aquila. When these three stars hang high in the night sky, they form a giant right triangle, affectionately known as the "Summer Triangle." To better appreciate this astronomical spectacle, our Astronomy Department organized a special observation activity for the Summer Triangle.

II. Activity Preparation and Arrangement

To ensure the smooth running of the event, we made meticulous preparations in advance. First, we determined the time and location for observation. Considering that the Great Triangle is brightest in the summer night sky, we chose a clear night in July for observation. At the same time, to avoid light pollution from the city, we specifically chose a mountainous area in the suburbs with a wide view as the observation point.

In terms of equipment, we prepared multiple telescopes, including both refracting and reflecting types, to meet different observation needs. In addition, we prepared auxiliary tools such as star charts, compasses, and flashlights, as well as necessary measures for keeping warm and preventing insect infestation. To ensure the professionalism and safety of the event, we also specially invited experienced astronomy teachers to participate as instructors throughout the entire process.

Regarding the activity arrangements, we developed a detailed flowchart. Before the activity began, the instructors explained how to use the telescopes, precautions for nighttime observation, and the basic information about the Summer Triangle. Afterwards, the students, led by their instructors, divided into groups to conduct observations. Each group was equipped with a telescope and a notebook, responsible for observing and recording relevant data about the Summer Triangle.

III. Activity Content and Process

At the start of the activity, the instructors introduced the Summer Triangle and its significance in astronomy. Then, the students began their observations in groups. Each group used telescopes to locate the three stars in the Summer Triangle, recording their brightness, position, and other information.

During the observation, students shared their experiences and insights, and discussed the causes and principles of astronomical phenomena. Some students even used their phones or cameras to take photos of the Summer Triangle for later analysis and research. The entire observation process lasted for more than two hours, during which the students were highly enthusiastic and gained a great deal.

Besides observing the Summer Triangle, the students also observed other interesting astronomical phenomena, such as meteor showers and planets. These additional observations not only added to the fun of the activity but also gave the students a deeper understanding and appreciation of astronomy.

IV. Activity Results and Gains

This summer's Great Triangle observation activity was a complete success. First, through hands-on observation, students directly experienced the allure of the summer's Great Triangle, deepening their interest and love for astronomy. Many students were captivated by the beauty and mystery of the night sky during the observation process and expressed their intention to continue their in-depth study and research of astronomy.

Secondly, the activity enhanced students' practical skills, teamwork abilities, and problem-solving skills. During the observation process, students needed to operate telescopes, record observation data, and analyze astronomical phenomena. These hands-on experiences not only improved their skill levels but also boosted their confidence and sense of accomplishment. Simultaneously, teamwork taught students how to communicate and collaborate with others to solve problems together.

Furthermore, the activity fostered friendships and communication among students. Through joint observation and discussion, they built strong bonds of friendship, laying a solid foundation for the future development of the Astronomy Department. Simultaneously, through communication and interaction with their instructors, students gained more astronomical knowledge and practical experience.

Finally, this event also provided the Astronomical Department with valuable observational data and information. This data and information can be used not only for subsequent research and analysis, but also as important materials for the Department's external communication and outreach.

V. Problems and Reflections

Although this summer's large triangle observation activity was a complete success, some problems and shortcomings were also exposed during its implementation.

First, some students were not proficient enough in operating the telescopes during the observation process, resulting in poor observation results. This reflects that our pre-activity training was not sufficient or detailed enough. To address this issue, we can add telescope operation training to future activities to ensure that every student can master the operating skills.

Secondly, the observation site is located in a mountainous area in the suburbs, which is inconvenient to access and poses certain safety hazards. Although we conducted multiple site visits and developed a detailed safety plan before the activity, it is still necessary to further strengthen safety management measures. For example, we can increase safety warning signs and provide first-aid medicines and equipment to ensure the personal safety of the students.

Finally, the schedule for the activity was a bit too tight, resulting in some students not being able to fully participate and interact. In future activities, we can consider extending the activity time or increasing the frequency to meet the needs and expectations of more students.

VI. Summary and Outlook

This summer's Great Triangle observation activity was a successful practical experience, allowing students to personally experience the beauty and mystery of the night sky and igniting their passion and interest in astronomy. Through on-site observation and teamwork, students not only acquired more practical skills and astronomical knowledge but also developed their teamwork and problem-solving abilities. Furthermore, the activity fostered friendships and communication among students, laying a solid foundation for the future development of the Astronomy Department.

Looking to the future, the Astronomy Department will continue to uphold its mission of "exploring the unknown and disseminating knowledge," organizing more diverse and enriching astronomical activities. We will continue to focus on cutting-edge developments and hot topics in astronomy, inviting experts and scholars to give lectures and provide guidance; strengthen cooperation and exchange with domestic and international astronomical organizations and institutions; actively participate in public welfare activities and science education; and strive to build a platform for astronomy enthusiasts to learn, exchange ideas, and showcase their talents. We believe that with the joint efforts of all members, the Astronomy Department will continue to grow and make greater contributions to the development of astronomy education in higher education!

Furthermore, we look forward to more students joining the Astronomy Department family to explore the mysteries of the universe and experience the charm of the starry sky together. Let us work hand in hand to contribute to the development and popularization of astronomy!
