Chapter 17 Past 1



When Cheng Sinian sent away the last patient, Qiao Yu had been waiting at the door of his office for a while.

Cheng Sinian brought Qiao Yu into the office and poured her a glass of water. "Sorry, there were a lot of temporary patients added today, so it ended a little late."

Qiao Yu smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I didn't wait long."

Even though they knew that the equipment could not be activated due to a power outage, the hospital was still so noisy. The end of the world was indeed close at hand.

Cheng Sinian sat down opposite her and said straight to the point: "Do you need my help with anything you came to see me today?"

Qiao Yu suppressed her smile and looked straight at him with a calm expression on her face, but the words she asked made Cheng Sinian tense up instantly.

She asked: "Have you ever been to the back mountain of Jiang's house?"

Cheng Sinian's voice trembled, and his breathing paused for a moment, "You... saw it?"

Qiao Yu said nothing, but Cheng Sinian could already see the answer in her eyes.

"When did it start?" Qiao Yu asked.

Seeing that she was still calm, Cheng Sinian sighed, "About three years ago." Seeing that Qiao Yu didn't say anything, he thought for a while and continued: "Qiao Yu, although I know that I am not treating you well by saying this. Fair enough, but as Jiang Zhan’s brother for many years, I sincerely beg you, if you really want to leave, just treat him as a pity and spend his birthday with him before you leave, okay?”

Jiang Zhan’s birthday is January 18th, the day after tomorrow.

Qiao Yu neither agreed nor refused, but asked him seriously: "Can you tell me about his past? And... what kind of mental illness does he have?"

Qiao Yu met Cheng Sinian when they were in college.They are both students in the Department of Medicine of University A. Although they have different majors, Cheng Sinian is still her senior. He was the dormitory where he took Qiao Yu when the semester started.As a prominent figure in University A, Qiao Yu would hear gossip about Cheng Sinian from time to time in school.

For example, when he was a child, his family fell into trouble and he was adopted by the Jiang family. Another example is that he chose psychology as a minor.

Cheng Sinian was silent for a while, then finally stood up, took out a medical record from the locked drawer in the middle of his desk, and handed it to Qiao Yu.

Name: Jiang Zhan.

Diagnosis: severe anxiety dependence disorder.

After Cheng Sinian handed the medical records to Qiao Yu, he walked to the window with a water glass, leaned against the wall, and recalled the past, regardless of whether Qiao Yu listened or not, with endless sadness in his voice. .

"I came to the Jiang family when I was 12 years old. My parents were both dead at that time, and my aunt was seriously ill in bed. Grandpa Jiang adopted me. My family and the Jiang family are partners, so I have met each other since I was very young. Jiang Zhan, although he didn't like to talk at that time, at least he was normal. He was two years older than me, and he would take me to read picture books and stories together, and would also take me to catch butterflies. But after Uncle Jiang's accident, I never saw him again. I passed him until I was 12 years old and came to the Jiang family."

"Grandpa Jiang said he would take me to meet Jiang Zhan. I was actually very happy. I thought that even if I depended on someone else, I would still have a childhood playmate. But when he actually stood in front of me and looked at me, I took a step He didn't dare to get close. There was no emotion on his face, and he looked at me as if he were looking at a dead person who had nothing to do with him. He was numb and indifferent."

"Grandpa Jiang said that he just brought Jiang Zhan back half a year ago. After Uncle Jiang's accident, he has been living with his mother. I didn't know why he became like that until I heard two maids in the garden one time. They were chatting. They said that after Uncle Jiang passed away in a car accident, Aunt Jiang couldn’t bear the blow and had mental problems, which were good and bad. When she couldn’t control herself, she would abuse Jiang Zhan. She would tie up Jiang Zhan’s whole body, He was locked up in a small dark room for several days at a time, without food or water; sometimes he would be hung on a clothes drying rack on the balcony and whipped with a cane."

When Qiao Yu heard this, she felt a pang in her heart, "Why? Jiang Zhan is her biological son! Why would she do this?"

Cheng Sinian smiled sadly, "Because on the day of Uncle Jiang's accident, he was going home to celebrate Jiang Zhan's birthday, so he rushed back from other places in the heavy rain and got into a car accident."

Qiao Yu's hand grasped the corner of the medical record, trembling slightly, "But this is not Jiang Zhan's fault...Jiang Zhan didn't want it either..."

"Yes." Cheng Sinian sighed, "But Aunt Jiang was no longer normal at that time. She only had hatred for Jiang Zhan and believed that Jiang Zhan had killed her husband. Jiang Zhan suffered from his mother's abuse. Four years passed, and it was not until Grandpa Jiang found out that he was taken back to the Jiang family."

"Later, Grandpa Jiang arranged a school for the two of us. Jiang Zhan was very smart and could learn everything very quickly. He knew everything at once. Grandpa Jiang was very happy and often showed off how outstanding his grandson was to others and took him out to participate in various events. At the banquet, I hope he can become more cheerful. But Jiang Zhan still doesn't like to talk, never smiles, and has almost no emotions. I thought nothing in this world could touch Jiang Zhan anymore, but until... I Once I saw Jiang Zhan getting angry——"

Cheng Sinian took a sip of water, his voice slightly hoarse, "That day was a weekend, and a family came to Jiang's house with their children. I heard that they came to Grandpa Jiang to discuss cooperation. When the adults were talking about things, let us sit together We were playing around. The boy was about the same age as us. He was probably spoiled by his family and had no rules. He secretly scolded Jiang Zhan as a mute. I was so angry that I scolded him a few times, but he actually took advantage of Jiang Zhan’s bathing time. , ran to Jiang Zhan’s room, turned things around in a mess, and even ate a piece of candy Jiang Zhan put in the box.”

Cheng Sinian turned to look at Qiao Yu, "I've seen that piece of candy before. It's a very ordinary piece of fruit hard candy. It has the strawberry flavor that Jiang Zhan hates the most, but Jiang Zhan puts it in a box very preciously. Who knows? Don’t let me touch you either.”

Qiao Yu lowered her eyelashes. If she remembered correctly... the candy she gave Jiang Zhan when they first met was strawberry flavored.

"After Jiang Zhan came out, he saw that the candy was eaten by him, so he went up and pushed him to the ground. That was the first time I saw Jiang Zhan angry. He beat the boy until his mouth was full of blood and several teeth were lost. If Grandpa Jiang hadn’t brought someone over to hold him down, the boy might have been beaten to death on the spot.”

Seeing that Qiao Yu didn't speak but clenched her hands tightly, Cheng Si young twitched the corner of his mouth, turned his head to the window, and continued: "After this incident, Grandpa Jiang paid special attention to his emotions, but Jiang Zhan became the same as before, emotionless and less talkative. Just when I thought he might stay like this in the future, he once again broke my perception."

"After school that day, I waited for him at the school gate as usual, but I didn't see him coming out after waiting for a long time. I went to look for him in his class, but the student on duty in his class said that he had left long ago. I was shocked. Jiang Zhan goes to and from school with me every day. This should not happen, and the driver is still waiting for us, so he must not have gone home. I called him in a panic, but I called him several times None of them answered. I called Grandpa Jiang again, but the person who answered the phone was Grandpa Jiang’s secretary. She said that Grandpa Jiang had an important meeting and was speaking on stage. I had no choice but to take the driver and look for him along the roadside. Just when I was getting more and more anxious and almost planning to call the police, Jiang Zhan called me back. The driver and I found him at the address he told us. At that time, I really thought he was going to die."

"He was covered in blood and we didn't know how many wounds there were. We were frightened and wanted to take him to the hospital, but he refused and forced us to take him to No. 46 Jinhuwan Villa District. The look on his face at that time , like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, if I don’t agree, he will drag me to hell with him.”

"We had no choice but to send him there. Fortunately, it was not very far and he arrived very quickly. He got out of the car and struggled to even walk, but he tried desperately to walk to the door of the villa. Until he heard a girl's voice. He stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and ran towards the girl." Cheng Sinian turned to look at Qiao Yu again and smiled slightly, "Qiao Yu, that was the first time I knew of your existence."
