Chapter 65: Finding A Therapist For Xiaocheng
It was as if by telepathy. No sooner had Pool Xiaocheng used Dr. Cheng's account to send Su Tao a message of concern and inquiry than Su Tao simultaneously sent a worried reply. "Dr. Cheng, I've confirmed that Xiaocheng is truly a yandere. She's even kept me locked in the house these past few days. What should I do?"
"She's likely still feeling lost," Pool Xiaocheng said, setting aside the matter of Ye Liang. Recalling Su Tao's sweet, thin lips, a smile involuntarily played on her own.
"When something like this happens, even the closest person, Tao Tao, probably wouldn't dare to speak of it. Chen Qian, whose relationship used to be quite good, Si Chen, who prides himself on being a friend, or anyone else she doesn't know."
"She probably wouldn't tell anyone in real life because if she did, she'd be subjected to strange looks, and seriously, she might even be taken away."
"Ah~ Even after experiencing something like this, she's willing to hide the secret for me~"
Pool Xiaocheng felt her heart pound fiercely, covetously gazing at the WeChat ID named "Peach," as if she could see the torn and confused Su Tao on the other side of the phone.
"She doesn't dare to confide in those around her; she can only keep it bottled up. There aren't many online netizens, and the only one she can rely on, the Dr. Cheng she doesn't know, is me."
"This is truly fantastic!"
Dr. Orange, that's me, of course, I must treat my sick little Peach well~
Pool Xiaocheng, naturally, wouldn't reveal the loophole, instead feigning ignorance. "Miss Peach, how did she lock you up? Weren't you chatting with me these past few days? Did she take your phone?"
"Yes, yes, that's exactly it!"
In her dorm room, a trace of relief and excitement appeared on Su Tao's face. Dr. Cheng was indeed a psychological expert who understood yanderes, effortlessly discerning her situation. She continued typing: "Three days ago, I went to test if she was really a yandere, and she knocked me out. I couldn't access outside information until just now when I was released."
Peach: "Doctor, what should I do? Is there still hope for Xiaocheng?"
Even now, she hadn't given up the possibility of a cure. What if? You know?
Dr. Cheng: "I'm not sure about that. Theoretically, there's still a chance for treatment, but I don't know the specific situation of your friend Orange, so I can't make a definitive judgment."
Dr. Cheng: "The fact that she could even let you out of that dark room suggests it's not as serious as your description implies."
Peach: "Dr. Cheng, I'm in Jiuzhou City. How about you take some time to come over and observe Xiaocheng? I'll cover any expenses incurred along the way."
Dr. Cheng: "Um..."
Dr. Cheng: "Sorry, but I also have a very serious patient right now, so I can't get away."
Peach: "Is it also a yandere?"
Dr. Cheng: "Yes, the person she liked couldn't stand her yandere tendencies and abandoned her. Yesterday, she was threatening to jump off a building; I just rescued her."
Peach: "That serious? Did she really jump?"
Dr. Cheng: "Yes, from the 12th floor. Although she was caught, she still broke a leg. I'm getting a headache from taking on this patient."
Peach: "This..."
Dr. Cheng's words brought Su Tao back to the rooftop from that time. If there had been a slight accident then, if she hadn't taken the matter seriously, the person who got into trouble would have been Xiaocheng, wouldn't it?
Peach: "So what should I do now?"
Dr. Cheng: "I suggest you don't let her be provoked in any way. Yanderes usually don't know they're yanderes. Their 'darkening' is incremental; it starts mildly, and the deeper they fall, the more severe it becomes."
Dr. Cheng: "Similarly, the general treatment method is to stay by her side, observe her, be mindful of your own behavior, and stand by her no matter what happens, without provoking her."
Dr. Cheng: "After her emotions have been stable for a long time, she'll consider that normal. At that point, you can try to gradually interact with people other than her, slowly pushing her boundaries, starting small, and supplementing with medication until she returns to normal."
Peach: "Is that the only way?"
Peach: "Dr. Cheng, when will you have time?"
Dr. Cheng: "I should be able to free up some time in about three months."
Three months, that's too long. Su Tao sighed. Given Pool Xiaocheng's current state, she might even get into another argument with Ye Liang later. Thinking of Ye Liang, Su Tao's delicate brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. If the two of them met, Xiaocheng would definitely enter yandere mode. That absolutely cannot happen!
Su Tao: "Dr. Cheng, do you know any other doctors in this field? I'd like to invite one to take a look at Xiaocheng."
Dr. Cheng: "Unless it's a psychologist who specifically researches this uncommon type of yandere, I don't recommend it. If your friend is categorized as having a normal psychological illness and treated as such, then she would truly be beyond saving."
Sitting at home, Pool Xiaocheng had a bit of a headache. As Dr. Cheng, she could only exist online. It was reasonable for Su Tao to think of finding a doctor for help. But she wasn't a yandere, so she couldn't actually be seen by a doctor. Si Chen, with his amateur psychology background, had seen through her acting; if a proper, licensed psychologist came, wouldn't her intermediate and unstable acting skills be completely exposed?
Peach: "Thank you, Doctor, I think I understand. I have a rather wealthy friend; he has a lot of connections. I'll ask him if he can find a doctor with the right specialization."
Oh no, is the truth really about to be exposed? A wealthy friend? Rule out that little punk Ye Liang first. Is it Dongfang Yang or Si Chen? Pool Xiaocheng didn't have time to think much when she received another message from Su Tao: "By the way, Dr. Cheng, you said that a person's blood might change to other flavors, like... orange juice?"
Dr. Cheng: "You're talking about what you told me last time, about drinking your friend Orange's and it tasting like orange juice, right?"
Peach: "Mm."
Dr. Cheng: "In this world, there's a small portion of people whose bodies are unique. If there's nothing wrong with your taste buds, then it might really be as you imagine."
Which means all the orange juice-flavored food I ate for those three days... it all had Xiaocheng's blood mixed into it?! As she thought this, the earlier sensation of nausea surged back. Su Tao instinctively recalled the sweetness of Pool Xiaocheng's small mouth, only then, as she had in the dark room, barely managed to dispel this nauseating feeling.
Peach: "Dr. Cheng, you've been a great help during this time."
A 200 yuan red packet was sent.
Peach: "Sorry, I don't have much money right now. I'll make it up to you after I get paid for my part-time job at the end of the month."
Pool Xiaocheng naturally accepted the 200 yuan. "Didn't I say that there's no need for this until results are achieved? This 200 yuan will be enough for the next month's consultation fee. It will make you feel more at ease if I accept it, right? You can still come to me with any questions later."
Peach: "Thank you, Doctor. I'll ask my friend if there's a doctor in that area first."
With those words, Pool Xiaocheng gasped. It's over. Is the truth that I'm not a yandere about to be revealed?
