Return to the Road of God

A few days later on the weekend, Ye Yufan came to the mental hospital accompanied by his parents.

Ye Yufan sat anxiously in the consultation room. Compared to a hospital, this place was more like a living room at home. The pink-blue walls and white tables and chairs made the environment look very peaceful.

Dr. Zhong seemed to sense Ye Yufan's mood, poured him a glass of warm water with a smile, and said kindly, "Is your name Ye Yufan? I heard your parents call you Xiao Yu, so I will call you Xiao Yu too, okay?"

Ye Yufan nodded: "Yes."

"What did you have for lunch?" Dr. Zhong didn't get straight to the point, but chatted with him like an old friend, detailing everything from his daily diet, work and rest habits to his relationship with his family and classmates.

Ye Yufan felt very relaxed and talked a lot without realizing it.He doesn't know that every minute he is here is billed by the hour.

As a well-known expert in the city's Department of Psychiatry, Dr. Zhong's consultation fee is a high figure for many ordinary families. Even Ye Mu, who has a good income, frowned, but her son is her heart, no matter how expensive it is. I can't tolerate her distress.

While guiding Ye Yufan to answer his questions, Dr. Zhong took a pen to record the key points, and praised Ye Yufan's merits from time to time.

"Very good." "Hehe, your friend must like you very much."...

An hour later, Ye's father and Ye's mother came in again. Dr. Zhong put down the recording board and said to them, "Maybe Ye Yufan's condition is not sleepwalking."

Father Ye asked, "Why?"

Dr. Zhong explained: "He doesn't meet any of the factors that may cause sleepwalking. First of all, you don't have any genetic factors, which can be ruled out; the deep sleep after excessive fatigue, Xiao Yu basically only feels tired after the incident. ;Psychosocial factors, his social and family relationships are very harmonious, and can also be ruled out; the last developmental factor seems to be a possibility, but most of these sleepwalking patients are related to the developmental delay of the cerebral cortex, Xiaoyu and his peers Compared with boys, he has clear mind, organized thoughts, quick thinking, and high emotional intelligence...Of course, this may also be because Ye Yufan is under a lot of pressure from studying, and it is not unreasonable for sleepwalking to be caused by this situation, but at most it will only happen once. Twice...Moreover, stress does not lead to dazed behavior in broad daylight."

Mother Ye asked anxiously, "Then what happened to him?"

Dr. Zhong flipped through the notebook and said, "I have some preliminary inferences, but due to insufficient evidence, I can't make a conclusion easily...I want to ask you about the problems that arose during the conversation with Ye Yufan just now."

Father Ye said, "You tell me."

Dr. Zhong: "He has good grades in studies, and he can get the first place in almost every exam, right?"

Father Ye: "Yes, he is very reassuring in terms of learning."

"I think this is his main source of pressure, because he has maintained the position of 'No. [-]' for nearly ten years since he was in school. Anyone who is at that height will feel tired. Now Ye Yufan hasn't revealed any negative emotions about it in front of others, he seems to be used to it, but human nerves are like a rope, when it is stretched to a certain extent, it will always break... I don't know about yours. What method is used for family education, but," Dr. Zhong turned to Mother Ye, "he told me that you are relatively strong at home. Although you have never made any demands in front of him, he can feel it. You The demands and expectations of him are high."

"Is that so..." Mother Ye's career requires her to be a strong woman, and perhaps she has shown this attitude unabashedly in front of her family, but for a long time, the family has achieved a balance, and it is not because of Mother Ye Strong and cause contradictions, so she does not take it seriously.

Dr. Zhong asked: "When Xiao Yu was young, did you have strict demands on him academically?"

Mother Ye was stunned: "Well, before the third grade of elementary school, I asked him to take full marks in every subject, except Chinese."

Dr. Zhong: "If he can't do it, will you punish him?"

Mother Ye blushed: "Well, once he got 98 in the math test, it was a very simple mistake, I was very angry..."

Dr. Zhong: "Do you remember exactly when this happened?"

Mother Ye shook her head: "It's been too long, I don't remember. But after that, he did get full marks every time. Until the second year of junior high school, he got 92 points in a physics test. He was very depressed and studied for a period of time. midnight."

Dr. Zhong: "Did you blame him?"

Mother Ye: "No. Because at that time I thought he could handle it by himself. I found out later at the parent-teacher meeting that he already had the highest score in the whole grade in that exam. Half of the people failed, and the second only I got 78 points in the test, which is a full 14 points behind him."

Doctor Zhong: "..."

Mother Ye: "Later I told him, don't try too hard, just enough is enough for you."

Dr. Zhong: "I found that Ye Yufan has a very serious tendency of perfectionism. As long as he decides to do something, he wants to do his best. One point, this is a very amazing kind of self-control."

Mother Ye nodded: "But we didn't ask him to..."

Dr. Zhong interrupted him: "He has formed a habit."

Father Ye said: "We have taught him to solve his own affairs since he was a child. He is self-reliant and self-controlled, which has always made us feel at ease."

Doctor Zhong nodded: "But now, I think you have realized that something is wrong with him, not just sleepwalking at home and bewilderment at school, he may do more things that you don't understand in the future, and you may panic , Angry, Disappointed... But I hope you don't blame him, don't put any extra pressure on him, try to praise him even if it doesn't meet your expectations, tell him that he has done a good enough job, "

Ye's father and Ye's mother nodded repeatedly. In fact, in the past few years, Ye Yufan has been so obedient that the two couples can't find a reason to blame him.

Dr. Zhong looked at the notebook and made another point: "He doesn't have any artistic expertise."

"Yes, his mother and I don't have the talent in this area, and he doesn't have any artistic talent," Ye's father said with a smile: "Art, music, etc. are not good at all, but sports are not bad."

Mother Ye continued, "When I was in elementary school, I was on the school's swimming team, and in junior high school, I represented the school in the city's badminton competition."

Dr. Zhong nodded: "Now that you are in high school, are you going to put all your energy on your studies?"

Mother Ye: "Well, when I get home at night, I will play chess with his father."

Dr. Zhong: "You can guide him to pay more attention to things in different fields to see if he is interested. If it is just cultural courses, he may be confused when choosing a direction in the future. A few years ago, a patient in a clinical case in China and Ye Yufan Very similar, he is also a genius in general subjects, because he is excellent in all aspects, so he doesn't know which direction he should develop, and finally commits suicide because of the difficulty in choosing."

Father Ye and Mother Ye: "..."

Dr. Zhong pondered for a moment, and then said: "In order to avoid Xiaoyu's anxiety, I suggest keeping the details of his sleepwalking symptoms secret and maintaining the status quo. If there are any strange phenomena again, you can contact me at any time. If possible, you can also take pictures, Audio and video recordings and other means are used to gather evidence.”

Father Ye: "Okay."

Dr. Zhong: "If there are no special circumstances, I also hope that in the next six months, Xiao Yu can come to see me regularly. I will chat with him and continue to observe."

Father Ye nodded, with a look of embarrassment on his face.Talk casually, it's all money...

Half a month after returning from the hospital, Ye Yufan miraculously stopped sleepwalking, which reassured Ye's father and mother, but the peaceful state did not last long.

One night, Ye Yufan emptied the rice cooker in one go, and ignoring his parents' stop, swept up the whole table.

Ye's father and Ye's mother were very worried. Even when his son was growing up, he had never overeating like this. He has always been self-controlled, and advocated eating less at night, saying that eating too much would affect his thinking.

But today, Ye Yufan ate three times the amount of his usual meal, and he didn't care about his parents' nervousness. After he was full, he collapsed on the sofa in such a posture, holding his stomach and belching.

Father Ye sat beside him, spread out the newspaper and read the news, and said to his son, "Eat so much, don't lie down, get up and move around."

Ye Yufan didn't listen at all, and turned sideways to avoid his father's sight.

Father Ye was puzzled, why his usually well-behaved and obedient son turned a blind eye to him today.However, since he was told by the doctor not to add "unnecessary" pressure to his son, Father Ye didn't say much, and could only continue to find a light topic: "Would you like to have a game." He was referring to playing chess.

"What?" Ye Yufan asked.

"Chess." Father Ye closed the newspaper and went to get the chess box under the coffee table.

But Ye Yufan's next answer left Father Ye completely at a loss, and he said, "No."

Father Ye walked away for a moment, and said with a smile: "Why not?"

Ye Yufan didn't answer, but hummed.Father Ye glanced at him, and saw Ye Yufan curled up in a ball with his knees bent, his shoulders shaking, as if trembling.

Father Ye asked: "What's wrong?" While turning his son over, Ye Yufan frowned and moaned: "It hurts..."

Mother Ye came over after hearing the sound, and after observing for a while, she said seriously, "You must have eaten too much!"

"..." Father Ye put on his coat and went to the pharmacy to buy Jianweixiaoshi tablets. Mother Ye rubbed his son's stomach and gave him a massage, while scolding: "You bastard, how can you eat so much food! Just now I told you to take it easy and you didn’t listen, I really don’t know what kind of magic you have, didn’t you have enough at school at noon?”

Ye Yufan was sweating profusely from the pain, but he was very resistant to Ye Mu's concern, struggling desperately to curl up, Ye Mu had no choice but to give up.

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Yufan woke up with constant dull pain in his body. Apart from that, he was still in a daze. At that moment, he was actually reflecting who he was and where he was... What a strange feeling. !

Ye Yufan shook his head and got up, supported his tired body to go to the bathroom, after washing, a cup of brown liquid was handed to his eyes.

"Drink the stomach medicine." Ye Mu said.

"Stomach medicine?" Ye Yufan touched his stomach, wondering how the other party knew that his stomach was uncomfortable.Mother Ye didn't have time to answer her, so she hurriedly put on makeup and tidied up.The mornings of office worker families are mostly in a hurry.

At noon, Ye Yufan only ordered two light vegetarian dishes in the cafeteria. Yang Kai smiled narrowly and said, "Did you hurt yourself from eating yesterday?"

"Huh?" Ye Yufan was puzzled.

"You forgot how much you ate for lunch yesterday! A set meal, two omelettes, and ten sausages!" Yang Kai gestured happily, "You can eat too much!"

Ye Yufan: "...What did you say?"

Yang Kai complained: "I said your parents are starving you at home!"

Ye Yufan: "Didn't we eat fish-flavored eggplant rice yesterday?"

Yang Kai was taken aback for a moment, and said, "That's what I ate the day before yesterday."

Ye Yufan stopped holding the chopsticks, Yang Kai was joking with him?No, Yang Kai was telling the truth, but why didn't he have the slightest impression... Wait!

"What day is it today?" Ye Yufan asked.

Yang Kai looked at him strangely: "Wednesday."

Ye Yufan was completely stunned!That's right, today is Wednesday!No wonder I felt something was wrong since this morning, today is Wednesday's class!In a trance, he also took out Tuesday's textbook, what's going on, where did Tuesday go?Yesterday... Yesterday was Tuesday?But why is the memory of Tuesday blank!

Could it be that he... lost his memory?
