Arc 5: The Seventh Sanatorium
Chapter 111

“Is it Xu Ziyue?” The man sitting on the ground supported himself up and went over to the drinking fountain to get two glasses of water.

“Take off your shoes and come in.” The man who should probably be a psychologist placed the two glasses on a low coffee table and pointed at a place opposite him, “Sit here.”

Xu Ziyue lowered his head and nodded before taking off his shoes and entering. His eyes couldn’t help but move over to the man’s lower body.

Of course, he didn’t have any dirty thoughts. He just wanted to make sure this person really had two legs, not a tail.

“Hello doctor.” Xu Ziyue looked up at the doctor’s face and then quickly looked back down at the floor. A few seconds later, he looked again before once again looking back down.

The man seemed to be amused by Xu Ziyue’s reaction. He waited for Xu Ziyue to sit down first before sitting down in front of Xu Ziyue, “My name is Shen Ci. You can call me Doctor Shen.”

Xu Ziyue lowered his head and raised his eyes to look at Doctor Shen. He couldn’t avert his eyes at all!

He wore a very ordinary turtleneck woollen sweater paired with a pair of dark blue jeans which accentuated his long, lean legs. When he sat down, he sat with one leg crossed and one leg bent and he rested one arm against his knee as he…….stared at Xu Ziyue with a faint smile.

Xu Ziyue met Doctor Shen’s eyes and quickly turned his head away. He refused to meet his eyes!

But perhaps it was because he did it too forcefully, he seemed to have twisted his neck…..

It hurt.

Doctor Shen chuckled gently, “Don’t worry. If you want to look, you can look. I don’t mind.”

“No, no, no…..” Xu Ziyue hastily refused and slowly turned his head back while kneading his neck. He didn’t dare meet Doctor Shen’s eyes, “I….I mind.”

Shen Ci spoke very warmly, “Don’t be nervous. We’re just going to have a normal conversation.”

“But doesn’t psychological counselling require hypnosis?” Xu Ziyue recalled the movies he had watched before. Didn’t they use a pocket watch to hypnotise the patient and then find out the cause for the patient’s illness?

Shen Ci pursed his lips to hold back his laughter and shook his head, “That’s only a part of it. Your situation is a little special. I think we should know each other first. After becoming familiar, I’m sure you’ll be willing to tell me about your circumstances.”

But even he himself didn’t know what was wrong with him.

“Doctor Shen, it’s actually like this. People around me all say that I am sick, but I don’t think I am. Can you tell me….what is this illness of mine?” Rather than mulling over it himself, it was better to just ask. If he managed to find out, then he profited but if he didn’t….That’s another story.

Shen Ci asked back with some confusion, “You don’t know about your illness?”

Xu Ziyue raised his head in preparation to answer Shen Ci’s question but the moment his eyes met with Shen Ci’s eyes……Xu Ziyue lowered his head back down and shook his head, “I don’t know.”

Shen Ci frowned slightly.

Several seconds later, the furrowed brows relaxed back out as he seemed to have thought of a solution. He then tried to elicit an answer from Xu Ziyue, “Then……Do you have anyone you like? Or, someone you have a crush on? Or has a crush on you?”

Xu Ziyue was a little confused.

Did this have something to do with his illness?

His illness was called “Love Delusion”. Just from the words itself, Xu Ziyue could only think of something like ‘falling in love at first sight’. It was just a guess of his, but he couldn’t guess how this illness of his would manifest.

But the word ‘love’ in it coupled with Doctor Shen’s questions…..Was his illness related to the feeling of liking someone??

And the person before him; whether it was the temperament, appearance or identity, it clearly had the word Boss written on it!

Not to mention, the feeling this person gave him reminded him of Austin.

From on his previous experiences, he came to know that there had been a mix up with the data. Perhaps there are still some other aspects of Shen Ci from the other bosses that he hadn’t noticed yet.

In short, Shen Ci was his target this time.

In other words, it was time for him to express his feelings!

Xu Ziyue felt that this line of thought couldn’t sound more reasonable!

——- Of course, it was because he didn’t know what his illness was.

As such, Xu Ziyue raised his head, tried to calm his racing heart and looked at Shen Ci with flushed cheeks and eyes filled with sincerity, “I like your type Doctor Shen!”

From his previous experience with Gu Ze, all rejections were just superficial! He just needed to continue pushing forward! Shamelessly plaster himself onto him! Nothing is impossible!

Austin had also said that in order for them to meet again, he should capture targets without restraint.

He was the first-person Xu Ziyue had met who would willingly give himself a green hat. (KKnotes: Green hat = being cheated on)

He just didn’t know if Shen Ci was similar to Austin in areas other than his smile and temperament.

Shen Ci’s act of lifting his glass paused for a moment but there were no changes on his face.

“As for whether there’s anyone with a crush on me…..Something like that…..” Xu Ziyue smiled with embarrassment, “I also don’t know.”

Anyway, they were all the same as the Shen Ci sitting in front of him…..Data.

And as for the feeling of ‘like’, it was too embarrassing saying that the other party has feelings for himself right to their face. Not to mention Sun Mo, Austin, the doll and Gu Ze….It was all ‘like’ but it also wasn’t. It was something deeper than that feeling.

But if Xu Ziyue called it ‘love’…..he found it too cheesy.

What’s more, Xu Ziyue’s sixth sense told him that their feelings for him also wasn’t that simple.

It was something more complicated.

And a little twisted.

Xu Ziyue didn’t say ‘I like you’ frankly this time. This time the words he said to Doctor Shen…..was kind of a vague confession.

It seemed that he had subconsciously regarded Doctor Shen as an acquaintance, so Xu Ziyue wasn’t particularly embarrassed. Of course, he did feel a little shy.

However Doctor Shen’s expression didn’t undergo any changes even when faced with the ‘confession’.

He placed down the glass of water he had picked up with the intention to drink from and leaned slightly forward.

“If you don’t mind, can you tell me how many people you’ve said this to before this?”

Xu Ziyue’s throat went a little dry. He asked back with an aggrieved tone, “Why do you ask that?”

“Both your tone and expression tells me that this is not your first time saying this.” Doctor Shen didn’t wait for Xu Ziyue to explain and considerately helped find an explanation for Xu Ziyue, “Don’t worry, I don’t blame you. This is just because of your illness.”

Xu Ziyue was stunned: Huh????

“But I didn’t expect your illness to be so serious. Looks like it’s because you didn’t receive timely treatment during the early stages of your illness but that’s okay, any illness can be treated here. If you cooperate, it can be cured.”

Xu Ziyue was a little anxious.

“Doctor Shen, can’t you tell me what’s going on?”

Why does it feel like he had dug a hole for himself?

“Indeed, you have the right to know about your own situation. It is of course beneficial for you to have some self-understanding. If you don’t know that there is a problem yourself, treatment would be more difficult.” Doctor Shen patiently explained to Xu Ziyue what this ‘Love Delusion’ was. “The illness Love Delusion is actually not very common. It is a kind of schizophrenia and most who suffer from it are around your age, young teenagers or young adults. This illness will make you have an unfounded delusion that someone who doesn’t like you actually likes you. You may even feel that their rejection is just their way of testing you.”

Shen Ci watched Xu Ziyue’s expression gradually turn blank and then pushed a glass of water over, “I know it is hard for you to accept this, but this is a fact. You think that they like you and that the two of you are truly in love with each other, but the truth is…..It is just your delusion.”

Xu Ziyue said blankly, “Oh.”

So what if you’re attractive! Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re trying to say! Isn’t it just because the one he likes right now is the Doctor Shen in front of him?! And this Shen Ci is trying to tell him cryptically that he doesn’t like him!

I’ve misunderstood you! You’re not Austin!

Xu Ziyue angrily crossed his arms and waited for Shen Ci’s next words.

“Angry?” Shen Ci took in Xu Ziyue’s chest that rose and fell as he breathed heavily and leaned forward onto the low table. He rested his chin onto the back of his hand and smiled, “But I’m telling the truth.”

Xu Ziyue thought about it, “Then, your judgement of this illness is completely unfounded. No examinations were done, and you say I have schizophrenia. Does anything I say count? Not at all. Shouldn’t there be tests done for something like this?”

Shen Ci nodded understandingly before frowning and looking at Xu Ziyue with some helplessness, “That is true, but it can’t be helped. Here, there is no need for it to be tested.” When he was done saying this, Shen Ci’s tone then carried a hint of a smile as he deliberately asked, “So…..What should we do?”

He was clearly deliberately teasing Xu Ziyue.

Xu Ziyue was also surprised to find that the feeling that reminded him of Austin was gone.

Compared to the gentleness and elegance he felt when he first entered, Shen Ci at this moment was a little more teasing. If he ignored his appearance and just listened to the voice, he would even notice a hint of frivolousness.
