Cheng Feiās pupils shrank. He stared straight at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu tilted her head and stared back at him. āWhatās wrong?ā
Cheng Fei let go of Ning Shuās hand. Heād felt a sting just now.
āYou still have white hair on your head. Do you want me to pull them out?ā Ning Shu asked.
āNo need,ā said Cheng Fei after he shook his head. He also handed the thermos bucket back to Ning Shu and said, āYou should go. You shouldnāt come to this kind of place. Iāll come find you after I get out.ā
Ning Shu wanted to tell him to never come.
She stretched out her hand and quickly yanked out another white hair from Cheng Feiās head, causing him to hiss in pain.
āYou should go.ā Cheng Fei picked up his book and waved to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu stepped on the silver needle and moved her foot forward. The silver needle rolled to the bottom of Cheng Feiās bed.
Ning Shu put her hands in her pocket, then said, āThe white hair on your head is really such an eyesore. If I donāt pull it out for you, Iāll keep thinking about it.ā
Regardless of Cheng Feiās objection, Ning Shu stretched out her hand again to pull Cheng Feiās hair. She pulled both his white hair and his black hair.
Cheng Fei rubbed his head. His scalp was nearly numb with pain.
āWhat are you doing?ā Cheng Feiās face was a little dark. āYou should go.ā
Ning Shu shrugged her shoulders. She took the thermos and then turned to leave. āIāll come to visit again.ā
Ning Shu stared at Cheng Feiās head with eager eyes. āYou still have white hair on your head. Iāll help you pull out more next time.ā
āYou donāt need to come anymore,ā Cheng Fei said. āI donāt want you to see me like this. I will show myself in front of you again one day, at my most perfect.ā
Ning Shu: Well, that day would also be the day I die, soā¦
Ning Shu shook her head. āNo. I like seeing you like this more. Seeing you down and out is way better than seeing you at your most perfect.ā
Cheng Fei smiled. āYou really are one of a kind. Youāll be so beautiful when youāve become an amber.ā
Ning Shu also gave him a sweet smile. āThanks for the compliment.ā
The nurse opened the door and said to Ning Shu, āVisiting time is over. You should go.ā
Ning Shu spared Cheng Fei a last glance before she turned around and left. The nurse shut the door and locked it, leaving Cheng Fei inside and alone.
Ning Shu slipped the nurse another red envelope. She wanted to see Cheng Feiās attending doctor.
Ning Shu went for broke and also gave the attending doctor a big red envelope. She said, āIāll have to trouble you with Cheng Fei. His condition is a bit serious, so please make sure he doesnāt miss out on medicine or anything.
āAlso, do you think Cheng Fei can recover?ā
The attending doctor said, āCheng Feiās situation is a bit complicated. He thinks that heās not sick, but he is. This makes him a bit troublesome to treat.ā
Ning Shu nodded and repeatedly asked the doctor to take good care of Cheng Fei.
After she left the doctorās office, Ning Shu encountered the nurse from before, who was incessantly complaining.
When the nurse saw Ning Shu, she immediately said, āDonāt bring any food for Cheng Fei next time. He threw up all over the room just now. Itās very troublesome to clean all that mess up.ā
Ning Shu told her that she understood.
So he vomited. He probably pushed his own hand down his throat to make himself vomit.
Did he think she had poisoned the soup?
Ning Shu simply smiled.
After she left the psychiatric hospital, Ning Shu looked up at the high wall.
The psychiatric hospital was a very depressing place. The management of the hospital was harsh and insensitive, and there were no normal people around. Every meal came with a dose of medicine.
Even sane people would be driven insane by the breath of despair this place had.
Ning Shu turned around and left.
The psychiatric hospital was built in a relatively remote place, halfway up the mountain. Ning Shu had to walk down the mountainside.
There were only taxis at the foot of the mountain.
Ning Shu hailed a taxi and went home.
When Mother Ai saw Ning Shu return, Mother Ai breathed a sigh of relief. āDid anything happen?ā
Ning Shu sat down and told her that she was fine. She then put the thermos on the tea table.
Mother Ai opened the thermos and saw that all the chicken meat was still inside. āHe didnāt have any?ā
