......"

"The seventh time?" Ji Peiqing raised his head and asked in surprise.

"En." Wen Shuyao looked at Xu Zhi who was sleeping in Zhou Mu's arms, and nodded.

Five hours ago, Xu Zhi was out of the delusional state and his mental state was on the verge of collapse. Wen Shuyao drove him overnight to the hospital where his elder brother Ji Peiqing was.

Ji Peiqing happened to be on duty and picked them up at the hospital gate.

"This is the one you mentioned..." Ji Peiqing looked at Xu Zhi and confirmed who was coming, "Your brother with delusions?"

Wen Shuyao nodded, "Go ahead."

Ji Peiqing brought them to the consultation room, pointed at Xu Zhi, "What's going on?"

Zhou Mu lowered his head, "When he came back, I was working downstairs, and he didn't see me, so he must have been scared."

"Too excited," Wen Shuyao squeezed the space between his brows, and added, "Fall asleep."

"State your symptoms." Ji Peiqing walked behind the desk and sat down, pulling out a medical record.

Wen Shuyao stood up and walked over, handing him the case temporarily taken out of the hospital.

Ji Peiqing flipped through a few pages, and was very surprised that Xu Zhi had relapsed 7 times in the past eight years. He closed the case and walked over to look at Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi must have cried a lot before going to bed, there were some inconspicuous tear stains on his face, and his long eyelashes were sticking wetly to his lower eyelids.

Zhou Mu sat on the sofa with Xu Zhi in his arms, without saying a word.

"What's the matter with anxiety?" Ji Peiqing sat back behind the desk and took out a pen to record.

"It doesn't count," Wen Shuyao shook his head, "He thinks his mental disorder is a very serious anxiety disorder, which can be regarded as unclear. In fact, he only has occasional anxiety tendencies."

Ji Peiqing looked very serious, and he reached out and tapped the medical record, "I discovered delusional symptoms at the age of 16, why didn't I go to the hospital for treatment at that time."

"I don't want to, and the guardian also chooses outpatient treatment." Wen Shuyao glanced at him, his tone was very aggressive, and he didn't know who he was addressing.

"Can't you talk well?" Ji Peiqing put down his pen and squinted at Wen Shuyao.

Wen Shuyao raised his chin slightly to look back, and smiled with one corner of his mouth, "It's good enough."

Ji Peiqing stopped answering, and looked at Wen Shuyao with a gloomy face, apparently blaming him for being unclear.

Wen Shuyao suddenly gave a light laugh, and asked Ji Peiqing, "Brother, I don't have a good memory. What are the two criteria for 'involuntary hospitalization' in the Mental Hygiene Law?"

Article No. 30 of the "Mental Health Law" stipulates that hospitalization for mental disorders is voluntary.

There are two criteria for involuntary hospitalization, one is severe mental disorder, and the other is behavior or danger of harming oneself or endangering the safety of others.

Both criteria are indispensable.

However, although Xu Zhi fell into a delusional state, there was no behavior that threatened himself or others, and his social functions were sound.

Ji Peiqing understood, turned her head and ignored Wen Shuyao, but asked Zhou Mu, "Have you tried to remind him?"

Zhou Mu was lowering his head to wipe Xu Zhi's face, but he didn't realize that he was asking him for a while, so he subconsciously looked at Wen Shuyao.

Wen Shuyao said angrily, "I'm asking you, what am I doing."

Zhou Mu looked away.

"I tried it," Zhou Mu nodded, and continued, "but his logic is very rigorous, without any gaps, so I didn't dare to go too deep."

"How to say?" Ji Peiqing sat up a little bit and looked at Zhou Mu with a serious expression.

Zhou Mu remembered that Xu Zhi confidently said that he never did the dishes when they were washing the dishes together at home, so he kept ordering takeaway, so he told Ji Peiqing about the situation.

"Is there any more?" Ji Peiqing picked up a pen and recorded this phenomenon in the medical record.

"Yes," Zhou Mu nodded, "He always thought he was a regular customer of the porridge shop downstairs, but in fact, he only went there once a few months ago."

"Well," Wen Shuyao recorded Zhou Mu's description in the medical record, motioning him to continue.

"What's more," Zhou Mu paused suddenly, looking at Wen Shuyao with a displeased expression, "He thought the pair of slippers I had at home belonged to Wen Shuyao."

Ji Peiqing: "..."

Wen Shuyao: "..."

Wen Shuyao gave a fake cough uncomfortably.

Ji Peiqing didn't even give him a look, and continued to ask Zhou Mu, "Did Wen Shuyao give him psychological counseling?"

"Last time..." Wen Shuyao said.

"There were two times," Zhou Mu nodded, and interrupted Wen Shuyao, "but this time it was more serious. Shuyao said that he was very resistant, and his nervousness was obvious, and he couldn't get into the state at all."

"That time..." Wen Shuyao wanted to say again.

"When a patient sees a doctor involuntarily, he has no right to force it." Ji Peiqing interrupted him, jotted it down in the medical record, and nodded from time to time.

Wen Shuyao shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Zhou Mu responded, and continued, "But this time it's not the same. Shu Yao said that his avoidance reaction was a bit strong."

Wen Shuyao has been Xu Zhi's counselor since he was engaged in the psychological counseling industry, and the two grew up together, so Xu Zhi took the initiative to contact each time they had psychological counseling.

But after Xu Zhi entered the delusional state, he firmly believed that Zhou Mu was an unreal character created by him, and when Wen Shuyao was about to investigate further, he subconsciously chose to conceal it.

"I think he subconsciously," Ji Peiqing closed the medical record, and said to Zhou Mu, "to protect you."

"Maybe." Zhou Mu said.

Wen Shuyao's medical record was not comprehensive, so Ji Peiqing decided to conduct further tests for Xu Zhi after he woke up.

Xu Zhi also didn't sleep for a long time, and he didn't cry after waking up, and followed the three people honestly, doing checks one by one.

After Ji Peiqing gave Xu Zhi a preliminary diagnosis, he suggested that Xu Zhi should be hospitalized for treatment.

Xu Zhi went through the procedures at dawn the next day and was admitted to the hospital.

However, due to Xu Zhi's extreme mental confusion, Ji Peiqing formulated a closed treatment plan. In order to cooperate with the treatment, family members were not allowed to visit him for two weeks.

After Xu Zhi was admitted to the hospital, he didn't speak much. It wasn't until Ji Peiqing's rounds on the third day that Xu Zhi was willing to look up at him.

The eyes are very timid.

"Are you awake?" Ji Peiqing put the pen in his pocket and smiled at Xu Zhi.

"En." Xu Zhi nodded, and sat on the bed obediently.

His skin is very fair, his eyes are big, and he has been through a lot these days. Wearing the uniform striped hospital gown, he looks sicker than ordinary people.

"Free time for a while," Ji Peiqing asked, "won't you go out for a walk?"

Xu Zhi shook his head, thinking of the hysterical shouts of some patients in the corridor in the past two days, he pursed his lips sadly.

Although he wasn't that extreme, in the eyes of others, he was no different from those who yelled, so he didn't bother the nurse.

Ji Peiqing saw that he didn't want to say more, and was about to leave after staying for a while.

Before going out, Xu Zhi stopped him.

"Brother Pei." Xu Zhi's voice was very low, and he looked at Ji Peiqing hesitantly.

"What's wrong?" Ji Peiqing asked him patiently.

Xu Zhi didn't dare to look at him for too long, he looked down at the corner of Ji Peiqingbai's clothes, hesitated, and asked him, "Today..."

Ji Peiqing nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"Today..." Xu Zhi grabbed the edge of the bed with his fingers and exerted a little force, but he couldn't say anything.

Ji Peiqing walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Want to ask Zhou Mu?"

Xu Zhi lowered his head and hummed lightly.

"Secret," Ji Peiqing smiled, putting his hands in his pockets, "It doesn't matter if he comes or not, anyway, I won't arrange for you to meet."

Xu Zhi pursed his mouth, resisted the urge to shed tears, and nodded.

Ji Peiqing stayed with him for a while, then went on to check the ward.

After he left, Xu Zhi got off the bed.

Xu Zhi's ward is at the end of the corridor. The bed is not big, but there is a window that is not too small, but the outside of the window is reinforced by barbed wire.

Xu Zhi thought, this is what it feels like to live in a lunatic asylum.

The screams of the patients, the handful of bitter medicines that the nurses are holding, and the strict schedule of work and rest.

Xu Zhi felt that all these could be tolerated.

What is unbearable is that I really miss Zhou Mu.

Ji Peiqing went back to the office after checking the house, and without accident, saw the person who had been waiting there for a long time.

"Doctor Ji," Zhou Mu stood up, "Xu Zhi how is it?"

"The overall situation is good." Ji Peiqing walked in and asked Zhou Mu to sit down, and then poured him a glass of water, "I just came from him."

Zhou Mu took the water and thanked him, then asked, "Does he remember me?"

"Well," Ji Peiqing poured himself a glass of water, "I asked you just now."

"You still can't see him today?" Zhou Mu asked.

Ji Peiqing raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Treatment is cyclical, family members should not be too anxious, it is easy to become dependent after meeting, which will affect his recovery."

"Yes," Zhou Mu nodded, "Understood."

Ji Peiqing looked at Zhou Mu for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "You are not what I thought."

"Huh?" Zhou Mu didn't understand.

Before meeting Zhou Mu, Ji Peiqing had heard about Zhou Mu, and his impression of Zhou Mu was that he was an ambitious entrepreneur.

As one of the top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs in Neighbor City, Zhou Mu runs a hotel chain company. The hotels he created with the theme of "Technology Travel" are well-known overseas.

But even such a person is helpless in the face of a lover who forgets himself again and again.

There were many people in the hospital who never showed up after being sent here, but Xu Zhi's condition had been repeated so many times that Zhou Mu was not willing to send them here.

Even if it was delivered, I would come to see it every day.

"It's nothing." Ji Peiqing smiled and did not continue this topic, "I can arrange a meeting between you two in ten days."

"Not too long." Zhou Mu said.

When he spoke, he turned his body slightly and pinched the back of his neck with his right hand. Ji Peiqing made a judgment, which was a typical gesture of depression and self-comfort.

Zhou Mu suddenly smiled and interrupted Ji Peiqing's diagnosis, "Doctor Ji and Shuyao are really..."

"Huh?" Ji Peiqing was stunned, and asked Zhou Mu, "What is it?"

"You are very similar," Zhou Mu said with a smile, "Shuyao often tries to counsel me after he counsels Xu Zhi."

It has to be said that Wen Shuyao is a qualified doctor. After all, some family members of patients have more prominent psychological problems than the patients themselves.

Ji Peiqing didn't answer this sentence, he changed the subject, "When Xu Zhi relapsed for the first time, you should have admitted him to the hospital for treatment."

"Wen Shuyao also said the same thing," Zhou Mu paused, and continued to add, "Exactly."

Ji Peiqing: "..."

Ji Peiqing picked up the water glass and drank a glass of water, coughed lightly, and asked awkwardly, "Wen Shuyao didn't come?"

Zhou Mu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help joking, "If Doctor Ji wants him to come, I'll call him next time."

Ji Peiqing muttered who wanted him to come, then put down the water glass and stopped asking, and changed the subject, "Xu Zhi has a lot of imagination."

Zhou Mu snorted, and said helplessly and connivingly, "Indeed."

"When was the first time?" Ji Peiqing asked.

"When we first got together," Zhou Mu recalled, "that time was also very..."

"Interesting." Zhou Mu smiled, but still used these two words.
