Chapter 81 Miss Peach, You Are Also A Yandere
"A... psychiatric hospital?"
Su Tao stared at the message Doctor Cheng sent, her mind instantly flashing through the many news stories she’d seen online.
Schools for internet addiction, where students fought desperately to expose them as places of violent rehabilitation, even leading to many deaths.
Sent to a psychiatric hospital, scorned, neglected, and abused by various people inside.
No illness but treated into one, or truly ill but treated to death.
A hallucination seemed to appear before her eyes: Chi Xiaocheng, sent by her to a psychiatric hospital, emerging idiotic.
Or on the verge of death.
Her hands trembling, she hastily typed.
Taozi: Doctor Orange, this isn’t right. Why a psychiatric hospital? That’s not what you said before.
Taozi: Sorry, Doctor Cheng, I was too agitated and typed the wrong name.
Doctor Cheng: I don’t blame you.
"Before, I was optimistic because you yourself were optimistic. Your optimism would transfer to the patient, creating an opportunity for treatment."
"But your current state tells me you're reaching your limit, you can't hold on any longer. If you stay by your friend Orange's side like this, it will only have a negative effect."
"Furthermore, I'm also thinking of you. Your subconscious is already preventing you from approaching Orange; this is an instinctual protection. If you continue, Orange might not get better, but you yourself will go mad."
"That's why I recommend you send Orange to a psychiatric hospital. Although the chances of treatment are slim, it would be better for both you and her."
Su Tao replied instantly, "No, Xiaocheng absolutely cannot be sent to a psychiatric hospital!"
Doctor Cheng: See? You're afraid to face her, but you're anxious when I suggest sending her to a psychiatric hospital.
Doctor Cheng: What exactly is it that you want?
Staring at her phone, Su Tao's lips trembled. "What... do I want?"
Scenes flashed through her mind, one after another.
But none could be fixed in place.
Just then, Doctor Cheng sent another message: "It's too tiring to explain just by typing. Is a call convenient?"
Su Tao quickly collected herself and called Doctor Cheng on WeChat.
She heard a mature, steady, uncle-like voice. "Hello, Miss Peach, I am Doctor Cheng."
The voice was inexplicably reassuring. Su Tao composed herself. "Hello, Doctor Cheng."
Chi Xiaocheng... oh no, Doctor Orange, speaking in a disguised voice, was the first to open the topic. "I've just talked about your issues. Since you have no direction, how about I ask, and you answer?"
"As psychologists, we usually use a Q&A format to help patients sort through their situation."
Su Tao, already extremely confused, quickly responded gratefully, "I have no problem with that, Doctor Cheng."
"Good. First, you don't dislike your friend Orange, even though she likes you, and she's of the same sex, and a yandere who might do extreme things. But you still don't dislike her, and you don't want to abandon her, right?"
Su Tao sat back down on the sofa, nodding gently. "Yes, Doctor Cheng, Xiaocheng and I grew up together. Her family also entrusted her to me. I can't abandon her."
"No, no, no," Doctor Cheng said. "Don't let external factors influence your judgment. Base it on your own feelings."
Doctor Cheng: "Alright, let me ask more directly: Do you like her, or do you dislike her?"
Su Tao was momentarily speechless: "I..."
Doctor Cheng smiled and explained, "Don't misunderstand. 'Like' isn't just about romantic love. It also includes feelings for family, friends, admiration, longing, and other factors. If you truly don't know if you like her, then 'not disliking' is 'liking'."
"Not disliking... is liking..."
Su Tao opened her mouth, instinctively feeling something was off, but she couldn't quite pinpoint it.
She simply followed Doctor Cheng's words and replied, "Then I like Xiaocheng."
"Very good," Doctor Cheng responded. "Then this leads to the two previous questions: either send her to a psychiatric hospital, or try to accept her yandere nature, and try to enjoy it."
"But Doctor Cheng, isn't there any other way?"
Doctor Cheng: "I'm giving you a multiple-choice question with two options, not a comprehensive essay question."
Another choice...
Su Tao pursed her lips. "If I have to choose, I will... I will try to accept her, pretend to like her, and then... then see if she can be cured."
Doctor Cheng: "Treatment is for later. Right now, what you've chosen is to accept her."
"But Doctor Cheng," Su Tao said anxiously, "it's easy to say, but when I think of her, I still feel afraid to face her."
"Don't worry, we're here to solve this problem."
"Infer the process and origin from the result," Doctor Cheng said, word by word. "The current result is that Orange has become a yandere, and she likes you!"
"So, Miss Peach, here's our question: How did she become a yandere? And why, after becoming a yandere, did she come to like you?"
Doctor Cheng didn't give Su Tao a chance to think, answering his own question: "The formation of a yandere personality is abnormal, distorted. Such feelings don't appear out of thin air; there must be influences from family factors, environmental factors, and even human factors."
"Next, we'll analyze it bit by bit."
Doctor Cheng asked, "Only you know the details about you and your friend Orange. Recalling from childhood, what do you think were the family factors that influenced Orange's growth?"
Su Tao stared blankly. "Family... Xiaocheng came from a poor farming family. Her parents only knew how to raise children, not how to educate them. Life was quite difficult for them."
Doctor Cheng appropriately added, "Such children lack proper guidance. They often learn whatever they see and gravitate towards it. When a child can't distinguish right from wrong, that's the beginning of a distortion."
"Then what about the environmental factors that influenced her growth?"
Su Tao's breathing had become slightly hurried. "Because she was small and frail, from a poor background, and not good at communicating, before she met me at school, she was always bullied and picked on. Classmates looked down on her, teachers didn't intervene, the school did nothing..."
Doctor Cheng: "You see? Oppression, extremity, and lack of good education – that's how the seeds of distortion's second step were planted. It's already difficult for a child like that to grow up normally."
In the hospital, Chi Xiaocheng, with a hint of reluctance yet filled with much excitement and anticipation, continued to ask softly.
"So, most importantly, what were the human factors from you, her yandere target?"
At this moment, Su Tao thought of something extremely terrifying, something she didn't even want to face.
Her legs trembled, her lips utterly devoid of color.
"The human factor was... when she was most desperate, helpless, and confused, I appeared by her side, pulled her up, and then..."
Doctor Cheng continued her sentence, "Then, to alleviate her unease and encourage her, you kept telling her she was the most important person to you, that you liked her the most, and that you'd always be together."
"Miss Peach, from our adult perspective, Miss Orange came from a poor family, received no good education, was all alone, and for many years, no one ever appeared by her side or stood with her."
"And at that moment, you came. From a young age, you subtly influenced her thoughts, guided her emotions, made her value you, made her like you, made her believe you would be with her forever, and thus made her hopelessly dependent on you."
"All of this you've told me before. The naive Miss Orange was like a blank piece of paper, absorbing and filling in everything she was told, heard, and taught."
Doctor Cheng's voice deepened. "Based on the outcome, Miss Peach... you, too, are a yandere!"
