Love in a mental hospital

Chapter 4 A mental patient taught me internal skills and mental methods
Chen Ke's best friend Fei Xiaoxiao, her rental house is the same as Jinghai Psychological Sanatorium, both in Chunhai District of Haicheng.

The name was chosen because, firstly, the flowers are in full bloom here, and secondly, the sea breeze blows like a spring breeze, which is in sharp contrast to the heat wave like a barbecue grill in the Atami area.

The three of them did not go to the high-end hotel. Under the leadership of Fei Xiaoxiao, they found a food street.

"Here you pick the seafood at the market and let the shop process it. It's like a buffet." Fei Xiaoxiao's excitement was palpable, and she was very happy for her friend's arrival.

They sat outside the shop - Haicheng people eat outdoors, and the scenery outside is beautiful.

There is a coconut tree next to the table. The roots of the tree are covered with gravel, just like a seascape potted plant. This small arrangement allowed Chen Ke to take several photos.

When the seafood arrived, Fei Xiaoxiao said again: "Drink some wine?"

"I can't." Chen Ke said this, but his body was a little eager to try.

"No, no." Qiao Yiming refused repeatedly, "I have to drive back to Lucheng later, so I can't drink."

"Are you going back today?" Fei Xiaoxiao was confused.

"Busy at work." Qiao Yiming said.

"As expected, he has a factory at home." Fei Xiaoxiao was half envious and half ridiculed.

"A small factory can't compare to two beauties who made a fortune in Haicheng." Qiao Yiming was a little proud in his modesty, "But having said that, the psychological clinic Ake went to has so many beauties and handsome men!"

"Are there many beauties?" Fei Xiaoxiao asked maliciously.

"Don't be fooled, what I said is the truth. Of course, my A'ke is also one of the beauties." Qiao Yiming did not shy away from it, but still added, "There are many handsome guys, especially a guy named Gu Ran , also new here.”

"So handsome?" Fei Xiaoxiao asked Chen Ke.

Chen Ke was eating seafood and replied: "It's okay. I didn't pay much attention. I stared at Teacher Zhuang Jing."

Zhuang Jing is also good-looking - Qiao Yiming opened his mouth, but finally held it back.

The three of them were chatting, and the stall was full of people, including people who came directly with their suitcases.

Fei Xiaoxiao looked around: "This place has become an Internet celebrity. From now on, I have to walk through the streets and alleys to find new niche and delicious restaurants."

"Yeah!" Chen Ke indicated that he had something to say.

She covered her mouth, swallowed the food, and then said, "Together."

"necessary."

"Look for it. I'll come over after the National Day holiday and take me to eat." Qiao Yiming smiled, then stood up, "I'll get two more bottles of drinks."

"Get me a coconut." Fei Xiaoxiao shouted.

When Qiao Yiming walked away, she suddenly leaned towards Chen Ke.

Chen Ke was enjoying the food slowly and with relish.

"How is it?" Fei Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice.

"How about what?"

"That handsome guy! Is he really handsome, or just average?!"

Chen Ke lowered his voice: "Super handsome!"

Fei Xiaoxiao was excited for a while, and Chen Ke's mood also became active. The two of them were not because of the handsome guy, but because they had the fun of chatting with best friends.

"When I get acquainted with him, I will introduce him to you!" Chen Ke assured, thinking of his best friend.

Fei Xiaoxiao took out the complete conch meat and dipped it in the juice.

"Eat!" She fed Chen Ke with her own hands, "Conch, boiled, should be small. The smaller it is, the more tender it is. The conch has thick meat and is suitable for stir-frying or cold dishes."

Chen Ke asked: "Do you like big ones and small ones?"

"Size doesn't seem to matter, right? Toughness is everything."

"Go to hell, you pervert!"

The two of them laughed together.

"What makes you so happy?" Qiao Yiming came back holding three coconuts and asked with a smile.

"It has nothing to do with you~" Chen Ke was in a good mood.

"Keke wants to break up with you and live with me." Fei Xiaoxiao said.

"Really?" Qiao Yiming sat down.

"Really." Chen Ke said.

Fei Xiaoxiao hugged Chen Ke's thin shoulders, made a '√' sign with her other hand under her chin, and showed a proud winner's expression to Qiao Yiming.

Before Qiao Yiming could respond, she burst into laughter herself.

After dinner, the two saw Qiao Yiming off and packed their things in the rental house.

There are two bedrooms and one living room, Chen Ke sleeps in the second bedroom, the rent is 500 less, and everyone is responsible for the food.

Fei Xiaoxiao knelt on the bed and helped make the bed.

She glanced at Chen Ke, who was carefully cleaning up, and asked tentatively: "Why do I think you and your boyfriend don't have a good relationship? Did you have a fight on the way here?"

"Because I insist on working in Haicheng, for at least five years."

"That's true." Fei Xiaoxiao nodded suddenly, "He can't live without his family's factory, and you have to pursue your dream. But as long as there is love, long-distance relationships are okay. Those who break up are all without love. You have to cherish your love. Have confidence."

Chen Ke smiled slightly.

Fei Xiaoxiao looked at her. She had a quiet and reserved temperament, beautiful facial features, and charming eyes. Her close-fitting clothes outlined her curves, and her breasts swayed slightly with the movements of her arms.

There is also a special kind of beauty in her slender waist, slender legs, and especially her concentration and gentleness in doing housework.

As a woman, Fei Xiaoxiao was fascinated by it.

"It doesn't matter even if we break up," she couldn't help but say, "According to your conditions, Keke, you can find a billionaire in Haicheng.

"Oh, I understand. No wonder Qiao Yiming quarreled with you and stopped you from pursuing your dreams. He just lacks self-confidence and feels that he can't keep you. He is worried that you will be pursued by someone richer and more handsome, and he will not be able to control himself."

"Didn't he ask me to come?" Chen Ke said for her boyfriend.

"If he doesn't let you come, you won't come? He doesn't let you come, but he can't stop you."

Chen Ke's movements in his hand paused.

"I'm talking too much! I'm a bully! I'm talking nonsense! Keke, don't think too much!"

Chen Ke smiled helplessly and continued to clean up.

"Hey." Fei Xiaoxiao suddenly lowered her voice, "You're done cleaning up, are you going out for a walk?"

Chen Ke was moved, but still refused: "Tomorrow is the first day of work, so go to bed early. The day after tomorrow is Friday, so we will go out on Friday night."

"it is good!"

Although they didn't go out for a walk, the two of them chatted until midnight, yawning and not wanting to sleep.

Early the next morning, the two got up late and went out in a hurry.

Fei Xiaoxiao charges on a small electric donkey;
Chen Ke stuffed the hem of his shirt into his jeans and ran to the bus stop.

After getting on the bus, I combed my hair again and waited until the bus started to climb up the hill before finishing all the combing.

It dawns early in Haicheng, the sun is shining brightly outside the window, the trees are dappled with shade, and the air conditioners are on in buses.

"Jinghai Psychological Sanatorium has arrived, please get off the car through the back door."

Chen Ke got out of the car, rushed into the clinic door, held down the bag on her shoulder, spread her legs and ran. The sun shone on her, just like the heroine in some TV series.

"Little girl!"

Chen Ke turned around and looked.

An old man stuck his head out from the third floor of the residential area and shouted to her: "The doctor said, just walk for 150 minutes, don't run!"

"Old man, do you think I am a new patient?" A voice came from a window on the second floor.

"Beauty Zhuang said that life therapy is needed by everyone. She is not a human!" A figure appeared in another window on the second floor.

"They are the new doctors. I heard that two new doctors came yesterday."

"Two more servants, good."

An entire wall was covered with brocade and there were many windows. Several mental patients stood chatting at the windows, like photo frames. These people were the people in the photos.

Chen Ke waved and shouted with a smile: "Good morning!"

Like a ray of gentle sunlight shining through and then reflecting back, the patients all said, "Good morning, new doctor!"

Chen Ke continued to sprint.

"Come on!" Everyone cheered for her.

Chen Ke rushed into the office building, stopped at the front desk, and quickly asked the apple-faced nurse: "Am I late?"

The nurse looked at her watch and said, "One minute left!" She became excited.

Chen Ke rushed to the corner and saw that the elevator was on the fourth floor. He climbed the stairs without thinking.

"Sorry, I'm late!" When she walked into the director's office, she had regained some composure, but her soft chest kept rising and falling, and she breathed silently.

Zhuang Jing smiled and said, "Good morning."

Chen Ke's face was a little hot. She didn't know if the director heard her greeting the patient. Fortunately, her face was already very red and hot.

"Good morning." She bowed her head in return.

She was the last to arrive.

Gu Ran and Su Qing have already arrived, each with a sofa, like Zhuang Jing's male secretary and female secretary.

"Xiao Qing, take them to ward rounds first to familiarize themselves with the process." Zhuang Jing said to Su Qing.

"Okay." Su Qing left the sofa.

"Aunt Jing, I'm leaving first." Gu Ran stood up.

Zhuang Jing smiled and said, "Go ahead." Chen Ke bowed to Zhuang Jing again before being the last to walk out of the office. Outside, she apologized again.

I was almost late for work on my first day. It was so inappropriate!

Su Qing didn't say anything, and she wasn't really late. She wouldn't care about this little thing.

She thought she had a good personality, and she had planned to let Gu Ran off before. But it was Gu Ran who didn't care about life and death and brought up old things again, so don't blame her for being cruel.

Su Qing first took them to the second floor. It was full of offices, including doctors', nurses', and accountants' offices, as well as bathrooms.

There are two doctor offices, and Su Qing takes them into 202.

It is very spacious, with a row of thick bookshelves and filing cabinets on the wall, as well as a water dispenser, coffee machine, and beverage freezer.

Printers and the like are naturally indispensable.

There's even a dressing room.

There are only three desks, arranged in the shape of the word "three".

"Chen Ke, this is yours." Su Qing pointed to the desk closest to the door.

She took another three steps forward, put her hand on the table in the middle, looked at Gu Ran and said, "This is yours."

Gu Ran looked at the innermost desk. Different from the previous two, this one was filled with documents, as well as potted plants, mirrors and other daily necessities. It obviously belonged to Su Qing.

Su Qing's intention was obvious - to monitor Gu Ran and not allow him to fish at work.

Gu Ran felt it was unnecessary: ​​"Sister Qing, I was wrong."

Su Qing said: "It's too late."

Is it too late to allocate desks, or is it too late to admit my mistake now?
Su Qing pointed to the dressing room: "Let's change clothes."

Chen Ke changed first, and then it was Gu Ran's turn.

Su Qing also put on a white coat.

On the way to the living area, she said: "According to the regulations of the institute, you must wear this kind of clothes in the office, but I don't ask for it, but I only remember to wear a white coat when entering and leaving the living area and ward." superior.

"It reminds you that you are a psychiatrist, not a patient. Taking off your white coat also reminds you that you are an ordinary person, not a psychiatrist."

The three of them walked into the living area, followed by three more caregivers, two women and one man.

It can be seen from the windows in the living area that the patients living here at least have no suicidal tendencies and their conditions are relatively stable.

"Those who live here are either not seriously ill, or have completed operations in the ward and are treated through lifestyle therapy. They basically have no major problems and will not harm themselves or others."

Su Qing took two doctors and three nurses into the first room, 101.

Gu Ran checked the information in his hand.

[Name: Zhao Wenjie]

【Age: 36】

[Family: father, mother, wife, daughter] (and some more detailed information)

[Symptoms: On March 2019, 3, I suddenly felt that I had internal strength. After resigning, I went into retreat several times. I almost starved to death and was hospitalized for treatment;
[Due to the small area of ​​psychological shadow, he was unable to undergo surgery and could only be treated with antipsychotic drugs.

【Discharged from hospital on May 2019, 5.

[On June 2020, 6, I suffered from post-schizophrenia depression. When my condition was serious, I wanted to practice Iron Sand Palm.

[On June 6 of the same year, he was admitted to the hospital for treatment, but the psychological shadow area was still insufficient.

[On October 2021, 10, he fully recovered and returned to work and lived a normal life after being discharged from the hospital.

[On January 2023, 1, while traveling with his family, he snatched a three-month-old child on the high-speed train, claiming that the child was a unique martial arts wizard and wanted to accept him as his disciple.

[On January 2023, 1, he was admitted to the hospital for treatment. The psychological shadow area was still insufficient. He was diagnosed with bipolar I disorder and was treated with antipsychotic drugs and lithium salts.

[On January 2023, 1, the condition improved greatly, and only lithium salts were used for maintenance treatment. At the same time, he was kept in the hospital for observation and used life therapy. 】

After entering the ward, the three doctors and three nurses did not move, waiting quietly for Zhao Wenjie to finish his work.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, facing the sun outside the window. His breathing was clear and powerful, and his chest bulged and contracted like a toad.

"Huh." Pressing down his hands, Zhao Wenjie exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes.

"Doctor Su." Zhao Wenjie greeted him proactively, with a gentle and friendly tone.

Su Qing nodded and asked, "How are you today?"

"The improvement of internal strength is slow," Zhao Wenjie sighed, "After all, I am just an ordinary person who got into this industry by luck. That kid is the real genius. It's a pity."

"The inner strength is fake." Su Qing said.

Zhao Wenjie smiled and shook his head without making any excuses.

Su Qing looked back and glanced at Gu Ran and Chen Ke: "Which of you is interested in chatting with him?"

"I'll do it." Gu Ran said.

Su Qing stepped aside, folded her hands in front of her chest, and her attitude instantly changed from business-like just now to watching the fun.

Gu Ran stepped forward.

"Are you really powerful?" he asked.

"Yes." Zhao Wenjie answered softly but firmly.

"Can you teach me? I have always been interested in internal strength. I once imagined that I could fly over walls and be a hero to save beauties."

"Don't hide it from me." Zhao Wenjie looked into Gu Ran's eyes, "'Flying over walls' and 'Heroes saving beauties' are not your real thoughts. Although there is almost no pause time, these two words are the result of your thinking, because these Two words are safer.”

"What do you mean?" Gu Ran was confused.

"I can see the indulgence in your heart. To put it simply, if you gain internal power and learn how to use it, you will take actions like a flower thief."

"Pfft!" The two female nurses turned their heads, covering their mouths and snickering.

The male nurse was also smiling, looking upright.

"Just an example, the flower picker is easier to understand." Zhao Wenjie also smiled, "Maybe he just likes to steal. The seven deadly sins are not necessarily lust."

"I noticed that you separated 'obtaining internal power' and 'learning how to use internal power'. Is there a difference between the two?" Gu Ran asked.

"One inner skill and mental method, one martial arts move."

"I guess you don't know any martial arts moves."

"Your guess stems from your distrust of me. I don't want to explain more. I don't know any martial arts moves. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in a mental hospital, but in the Academy of Sciences. Only that child, a genius like that, can create real The unique martial arts moves allow the inner strength to flourish and open up a new discipline for mankind."

"You quite understand the overall situation."

Zhao Wenjie shook his head: "It's for myself."

"Going back to the original question, can I learn it? There are no martial arts moves anyway, so it doesn't matter if you teach me internal strength." Gu Ran said.

"Try it." Zhao Wenjie raised his hand and took out the pulse-taking gesture of a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

Gu Ran stretched out his hand.

Zhao Wenjie put his fingers on his wrist, closed his eyes and pondered.

"Your talent is similar to mine, very poor, but you can do it!" Zhao Wenjie opened his eyes, a little excited, "Starting from tomorrow, you come to my ward early and talk with me, and you will be able to get started in three years!"

"Okay, I'll come tomorrow."

The group of people went out and came to the corridor.

"Tell me about it." Su Qing raised her chin to Gu Ran. The team leader had a full posture and the charm of a queen.

"I decided to learn from him for three years. If I can't get started after three years, it should make him doubt the authenticity of internal power."

"Do you really want to learn?" Chen Ke couldn't help but ask.

"If you can cure a mental patient in three years, wouldn't it be a great deal?" Gu Ran said, "Of course, this is just an attempt."

If surgery is not performed, psychological treatment is a long process, and recurrence is common.

When treating patients, psychiatrists will try various therapies because the human spirit is too mysterious and cannot prescribe the right medicine like the body.

Many times, in front of patients, psychiatrists are just ordinary people who are helpless and powerless.

Su Qing nodded: "You can try, but I am the team leader after all. Let me remind you."

"Team leader, please speak." Gu Ran's attitude was very low. Su Qing had more clinical experience than him.

"After learning internal strength, don't become a flower picker."

Of the six people, four were suppressing laughter and one was being laughed at.

Gu Ran said: "I feel so stupid."

Su Qing smiled.

At this time, Gu Ran had already felt that what she said next would definitely not be good, but he still underestimated her viciousness.

The psychiatrist who was only good-looking said in a gentle and playful tone: "It's more than just feelings."

Excessive!

----

"Private Diary": August [-]nd, sunny, the day before Friday, I liked the office very much and downloaded three doctor-type movies to study.

If I really have inner strength - whether true or not, the law will be useless to me, right?It doesn't matter if you become a flower picker, right?

----

"Doctor's Diary": If there were no martial arts novels, in what form would Zhao Wenjie's mental illness manifest itself?

I spent three years digging into Zhao Wenjie's heart to see what happened to him that made him escape reality so much.

Obviously, this must be something that he would rather die to cover up, and even suffer from mental illness because of it.

I want him to have the courage to speak out.
