Society owes me a brother

During the lunch break at noon, Lu Chi specially ran to the postal kiosk outside the school gate, bought a large stack of entertainment newspapers and gossip magazines, and took them back to the classroom.

Pan Tianbo, who was sitting on the seat and immersed himself in the paper, looked at the colorful Gossip Weekly in Lu Chi's arms, and asked with surprise on his face, "Since when did you become interested in these things?"

The college entrance examination is less than a month away, and everyone can't pass the exams, so how can they pay attention to entertainment gossip!That is to say, the gods like Lu Chi can even create a campus network.

Lu Chi gave a absent-minded "Hmm" and threw the newspapers and magazines in his arms onto the table.In an instant, colorful photos and gossip reports with similarities and minor differences came into view——

"The well-known child star is too deep into the film and can't extricate himself, suspected of suffering from depression", "Child star Lu Heng appeared in Cannes, thin and pale, and his mental state is really worrying", "During the filming, he suffered from depression. An insider revealed that Lu Heng was on the set. Self-mutilation tendency", "All those actors who were depressed and even committed suicide due to being too involved in the drama in those years", "Lu Heng suffered from depression due to drama, and his manager Wei Linxuan never left", "Lu Heng's manager angrily denounced " The director of Project A, Mai Chengliang, used all means to achieve the filming effect, and instigated underage actors to lose weight and become depressed", "I stayed up for three days and three nights, just to make this scene well"...

Pan Tianbo looked at the shocking and alarmist headlines in the newspapers and magazines, and couldn't help but be terrified.He sneaked a glance at Lu Heng's brother who was expressionlessly flipping through the newspaper, and asked cautiously, "Is your brother okay?"

Lu Chi read the reports about Lu Heng's depression in newspapers and magazines word for word, and finally set his sights on the cover of a weekly gossip magazine - it was a photo of Lu Heng waiting on the set of "Project A" secretly photographed by a reporter. photos of the play.In the photo, Lu Heng's complexion is sallow and skinny, his expression is dull and his eyes are empty, and he is wearing a dirty-looking, obviously oversized scruffy coat. In the corner of the room, there is still half a cigarette in his mouth.A decadent, world-weary, gloomy and paranoid rage permeated his whole body.It is not at all the same as the brave and sunny little hero in everyone's impression.

Lu Chi squeezed the magazine in his hand tightly, his pink nails turned white due to too much force, and the smooth and neat cover of the magazine was also crumpled.

Pan Tianbo poked Lu Chi's shoulder in fear, and asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"

After a pause, Pan Tianbo said again: "Your brother's behavior is definitely necessary for the character. You don't need to listen to those paparazzi's alarmist words."

Lu Chi came back to his senses, and asked in a subtle way: "Do you know about depression?"

During the lunch break, there was some noise in the classroom.Pan Tianbo didn't hear Lu Chi's words clearly, and subconsciously asked, "What?"

Lu Chi didn't speak anymore, he stood up abruptly, stuffed the newspapers and magazines spread out on the table into his schoolbag, turned and ran out.The chair behind him fell to the ground directly under the action of inertia, making a loud "bang".

The students in the classroom were all taken aback, they could only stare blankly at Lu Chi and ran out of the classroom stepping on the class bell.

Pan Tianbo suddenly came back to his senses, chased to the door of the classroom, and shouted at Lu Chi's back: "It's all class, where are you going?"

Lu Chi rushed to the medical bookshelf on the third floor of the school library, trying to find books related to depression.It's a pity that around 2001, depression, a special mental illness, was still a relatively uncommon word for most ordinary people.Even the school library, which has countless books, does not include such materials.

"I knew you would be here!" Yue Bin looked at Lu Chi who was shuttled back and forth in front of the rows of bookshelves: "I just called my brother and asked him to help contact the depression experts in country M. If If you need-"

"Thank you, but it shouldn't be necessary." Lu Chi stuffed the book back on the shelf and said, "I read the reports in those entertainment newspapers and weekly gossip magazines. They said that my brother's manager took him to country M The treatment seems to be doing well..."

Lu Chi lowered his head, thought for a while and said, "I don't even know what depression is!"

Yue Bin moved his fingers slightly.He patted Lu Chi on the shoulder and comforted him, "Everyone has been too busy lately..."

Yue Bin paused, he was actually not good at comforting others.So all he could do was to stand beside Lu Chi silently, and after thinking about it for a long time, he tried to change the subject: "Are you going to take the SAT test in June?"

Lu Chi shook his head. He is not planning to study abroad, so there is no need to take the SAT.

Yue Bin sighed in disappointment, and couldn't help persuading him: "Actually, with your talent, if you choose to study abroad, you may learn more."

Lu Chi said: "When you go abroad to study, you can promote the campus network to your university. At that time, post more learning materials on the academic career forum, and let me gain a lot of insight."

Yue Bin saw that Lu Chi didn't want to spend too much time talking about studying abroad, so he rolled his eyes: "The topic change is too blunt."

Lu Chi smiled: "Didn't you just say that you can contact foreign depression experts?"

Yue Bin raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Lu Chi said: "Can you help me collect information on this? As family members of patients with depression, what should we do?"

Yue Bin nodded in agreement.After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and handed it to Lu Chi: "Do you want to call your brother?"

Lu Chi stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "What time is it in Cannes?"

Yue Bin calculated the time difference, and said uncertainly, "Five or six o'clock in the morning?"
