Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 44 [Scholar Syndrome, Mania]
Guo Xu returned to East Lansing with the team that night. The school team is not as rich as the NBA team, and the players are not suitable for going to nightclubs to celebrate all night. Going home and sleeping is the right way.
Guo Xu returned to his familiar yet unfamiliar home at 1:30 in the morning. It was a small European-style villa with four bedrooms, two living rooms, and three bathrooms. It was surrounded by lawns, and various flowers and plants were carefully cultivated and trimmed in front of and behind the house. , very beautiful and very environmentally friendly.
Including the land area, Guo Xu's family has more than 1,600 square meters, but this does not mean that they belong to the rich. Searching his memory, he found that the house was purchased for less than $500,000. When his parents got married, they took out a loan to pay the down payment and moved in. The loan has been paid off, making it a good investment.
Guo Xu opened the door with the key, and the light in the living room was on. His parents, grandpa, and grandma hadn't rested yet, so they looked at him together.
You're not asleep yet, aren't you sleepy? Guo Xu walked over, put the travel bag on the table, and said with a smile, It's just right, I brought back a present.
He took out gifts one after another. Polis didn't have any famous specialties. What he bought were small souvenirs, as well as six cans of pizza beer, a specialty of Indiana, for Blake Statham.
The wine is made in-house at a shop in Polis and is brewed from wheat husks, garlic, oregano, tomato, orchid and malt. Currently only available in Indiana, it has a unique taste.
Finally, he took out the MOP trophy from his bag and put it on the table.
Everyone didn't mention the game, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Father Guo Zhiping coughed and asked, Xiao Xu, what's going on with you recently? We all think you've changed a lot...
Guo Xu said with a smile: It was because of the elbow that I went to see a psychiatrist when I was in Polis. The doctor said that I had 'acquired savant syndrome'.
With that said, he took out an inspection form from the outer layer of the bag.
During the time loop, Guo Xu called home many times and chatted with each family member, fearing that he would be found out in the future. It doesn't matter how suspicious the family members are during the cycle, they will not remember these things, and he is not afraid of wasting phone bills. Many of the gifts he bought were things the four of them liked after chatting.
Mother Kay picked up the checklist and saw some of Guo Xu's personality changes and the doctor's analysis written on it. Of course, this was forged by Guo Xu, just to deal with doubts in the future. The description of this illness was guessed by Kay on the phone...
There are some people who suddenly have extraordinary talents after experiencing accidental brain trauma. There are indeed many such cases in the world. Some people in the United States began to study them more than 100 years ago, and they have some explanations for this phenomenon.
One is that the injury leads to compensatory enhancement of functions in other places; the other is that the injured part originally had some inhibitory functions, and its destruction will lead to the strengthening of its original inhibitory functions.
For example, Connors, a teenager with no sense of music in Denver, Colorado, suddenly became a musical genius after suffering a concussion due to an accidental head impact. Even though he could not even read music scores, he was able to learn music by himself without a teacher. Play 13 musical instruments including guitar, piano, and violin. In medicine, this phenomenon of Conners is called acquired scholar syndrome.
Acquired savant syndrome refers to the sudden development of special talents in children or adults after damage to the left hemisphere.
Kay asked excitedly: Is it like in the movie Rain Man? But you seem to be much more cheerful now. You are not autistic, and you are playing basketball...it doesn't look like savant syndrome.
In Rain Man, the Rain Man played by Dustin Hoffman has a strong memory and is amazing in mathematics, calendar calculations, etc. However, due to his potential autistic tendencies, he suffers from cognitive and behavioral problems. There are serious flaws.
Guo Xu shrugged and said with a smile: Doctors can't explain things about the human brain. Anyway, I have become more talkative now, and my strength has become much stronger without changing my figure. I feel great.
With your expressions so serious, you probably didn't like my dull look in the past, right?
Grandma Isabella spoke and smiled: I think Jason is doing well now. He didn't act like a child when he was a child. He had no energy at all. He didn't even invite a dance partner to his high school graduation dance.
Guo Xu smiled and said, Grandma said it well. If I go to a high school dance now, I can invite whoever I want. The girls can fight for me.
High school graduation dances are very grand and elegant. Boys invite girls to participate and leave the best and most unforgettable memories in the last year of school. The annual King and Queen will also be selected at that time. A photographer will come to take photos of the participating students and collect them as souvenirs after the event.
Americans don't just study hard. Those who do well in school should participate in more activities so that they can make more friends. But there are always some people who lack vitality in life, have weak interpersonal relationships while in school, are not appreciated in their work after graduation, and cannot find girlfriends.
The former Guo Xu was obviously this kind of person. If he were born in China, he might be called real, as if his emotional intelligence is low, his morals will be much higher than those of active people, he will not cheat in love or get married, and he will become a model of honest people who devote their lives.
But in the United States, there are too few people who like honest people. Most Americans believe that dull people are afraid of change, most afraid of trouble, and do not have the ability to solve problems. They are hesitant and lack the ability to make decisions. This kind of person is a born loser and has no competitiveness. If anyone quarrels with him, he will be clumsy and lose everything.
Guo Xu's parents have long been worried about his future and thought about having another child, but unfortunately they failed and the second child was miscarried.
Now Guo Xucheng is a person that people look up to. He talks about the future in detail, saying that he has found an agent and will definitely be selected in the NBA draft at the end of June. He is always confident and completely different from before.
The whole family felt that he had changed more than expected. In their opinion, he hadn't seen him for a week.
Guo Zhiping asked worriedly: Your situation...wouldn't be any sequelae?
Yes, the doctor said that I have been in a state of mental euphoria for a long time. At a more serious level, I am suffering from mania. I can't sit still, love to show off, and can't help but want to talk trash to others. But I don't think it's a bad thing.
... The four of them looked at each other, isn't this a bad thing? Sounds like a form of mental illness!
The typical manifestations of mania are relaxed and happy, feeling good about themselves, feeling that their life is colorful, extremely happy and joyful. In addition, you will be full of energy, activities will increase significantly, and you will be unable to bear it. You will be busy all day long, and you will do things without beginning or end.
Guo Xu pretended that this kind of patient was not under pressure, and this reason was enough to explain why he suddenly became stronger. Excitement, it exploded like taking a stimulant.
In the time loop, he used this kind of rhetoric to pass the test, and now his family members have also expressed that they can accept it. Because Guo Xu speaks clearly, he doesn't seem crazy. He has changed into a cheerful personality after being elbowed. He can play in the NBA and earn a lot of money, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
After chatting for a while, Guo Xu asked: Would any of you be willing to participate in the championship parade the day after tomorrow? No one went to support me in the semi-finals. Isn't it possible that no one went there this time?
Grandpa Black said with a smile: I have nothing to do, I will definitely be there!
