Chapter 99: Yandere And Unaware
"Don't worry," Doctor Lin said, pouring a glass of water for Su Tao. "This diagnosis isn't as bad as we thought."
Su Tao exhaled. "That's good. I lost my composure."
Sitting down on a chair, Su Tao composed herself.
Doctor Lin glanced at Si Chen and nodded. "Let's go over this one by one. First, regarding the yandere aspect."
Her tone grew serious. "There's no doubt Miss Chi is a yandere. Miss Su, please don't cling to any false hope."
Si Chen asked from the side, "Was she tested?"
"Yes," Doctor Lin nodded. "I told her Young Master still liked Miss Su, and she immediately became agitated."
Si Chen...
He looked at Doctor Lin, speechless and slightly resentful. "I've never liked Su Tao, not from the very beginning, okay?"
Su Tao looked hopefully at Doctor Lin. "Then what's the probability of treatment working?"
Doctor Lin tapped her index finger on the table, slowly saying, "I can't guarantee anything. This depends on your resolve."
Su Tao asked, puzzled, "Resolve?"
Doctor Lin nodded. "Actually, you've been avoiding this fact. If you truly want to cure the yandere, you must have the determination to abandon all other relationships and live only for her."
"This..."
Su Tao looked troubled.
Si Chen, leaning against the wall nearby, said in a low voice, "Those who can't give up anything can't achieve anything."
He felt this deeply.
To return to the Si family's former position and wash away the humiliation, he could give up anything!
Doctor Lin eased Su Tao's stress with a gentle smile. "Don't worry too much. That's only a last resort in extreme situations."
"So there's still a way?"
"Of course there is."
Su Tao became hopeful.
However, Doctor Lin's next words quickly dashed her hopes.
What she said was fundamentally similar to Doctor Chen's advice.
Stabilize her emotions, don't provoke her, try to humor her, and then slowly try to change her.
But there were some slight differences.
Doctor Lin smiled faintly. "Once you confirm she's very docile and won't resist at all, you can be appropriately firm and take a dominant position."
"Firm?"
"Yes," Doctor Lin said. "Let Miss Chi get used to or even fear your firmness. Afterwards, if anything extreme happens, she will choose to listen to your opinion."
"Alright, I understand."
Su Tao sighed inwardly.
Doctor Lin, after all, wasn't a psychologist who specialized in yandere cases. After their detailed meeting, the methods and conclusions she offered were similar to Doctor Chen's.
Doctor Chen had only heard her account of the situation and had provided her with help multiple times over half a month.
Even the slight recovery Chi Xiaocheng made during treatment was due to Doctor Chen's methods.
With this comparison, Su Tao's estimation of Doctor Chen grew even higher.
She would never have imagined that Doctor Lin and Si Chen were both part of the "Orange Faction."
Naturally, their words favored Chi Xiaocheng, and as Doctor Lin was a psychologist, the lies mixed into her words were even harder to discern.
Su Tao looked up again and asked, "What about the schizophrenia?"
Doctor Lin's voice grew a little somber. "Because Doctor Chen and Young Master Dongfang were present, I couldn't be too absolute, but I can confirm that there are signs of mild schizophrenia!"
At these words, Su Tao's expression became solemn.
Si Chen, however, looked as if he had expected it. "With two states, yandere and normal, mild schizophrenia is normal, isn't it?"
He even felt he had vaguely found Chi Xiaocheng's "startup password."
Su Tao lowered her head. "It's all my fault."
If she had gone to find Xiaocheng immediately after their argument that summer, none of this would have happened.
Doctor Lin: "In any case, let's start with medication for a while. Try to provoke her as little as possible. The more she's provoked, the deeper her yandere tendencies will become."
"Okay, thank you, Doctor Lin."
Su Tao stood up and bowed, then looked at Si Chen. "Thank you too, Si Chen. I'm really sorry for always bothering you."
Si Chen showed a hearty smile. "It's nothing. We're friends, after all."
Of course, they were only friends on the surface.
After engraving the four characters "Never Love Tao," Si Chen had already passed the point of no return.
After seeing Su Tao off, Si Chen lit a cigarette.
He then looked at Doctor Lin. "Let's hear Chi Xiaocheng's report."
Doctor Lin nodded. "Understood, Young Master. My personal diagnosis is mild schizophrenia, and also..."
"Wait a moment." Si Chen interrupted her. "Su Tao has left. Just between the two of us, there's no need for those lies to cover things up. You only lied to Su Tao because you're on Chi Xiaocheng's side."
However, Doctor Lin's serious expression didn't change. "I didn't lie to Miss Su about the schizophrenia. Miss Chi genuinely has mild symptoms, and I believe Doctor Chen's claim is correct."
"What claim?"
"The hypothesis of three personalities."
Doctor Lin added, "Of course, I only referred to them as three personalities so they could understand. In reality, they are three contradictory psychological states and behaviors."
"The reason I publicly denied Doctor Chen's hypothesis was because Miss Su and Young Master Dongfang were present, and we needed to conceal Miss Chi's true condition."
"But his hypothesis is highly accurate. I also sensed it when I was talking with Miss Chi."
Si Chen's expression gradually grew serious. "So, besides her yandere side and her normal side, Chi Xiaocheng has another side?"
"Most likely."
"But this doesn't make sense!" Si Chen rubbed his brow. "Becoming a yandere due to unrequited love, distinct from her normal self – I can understand that. Her upbringing certainly makes this extreme form possible."
"But where does this extra side come from?"
Si Chen had investigated Chi Xiaocheng's background; she came from a very ordinary farming family.
Yet she knew about Su Tao's War God father, which was extremely contradictory to Si Chen.
Could it be that her identity held another mystery?
The "normal Xiaocheng" she believed she was portraying.
The uncontrollable, extreme yandere Xiaocheng.
A yandere without realizing it.
So, what kind of Xiaocheng was trapped between her normal portrayal and her yandere self?
Si Chen couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't get an answer.
But this diagnosis came as a surprise to everyone.
Meanwhile, Chi Xiaocheng herself, the one being diagnosed, was facing another dilemma.
That night at home, Chi Song returned from Young Master Dongfang and had finished handling Ye Liang's follow-up matters.
Up to now, Ye Liang had not woken up in the hospital, and the Ye family's anticipated furious retaliation had been blocked by Young Master Dongfang.
He had taken Chi Song to apologize together, promising something unclear, but if they wanted the Ye family to stop hounding them, the ten million that Ye Liang had mentioned was unavoidable!
Ye Liang's arrival in Jiuzhou City from the capital was essentially the Ye family letting him run wild.
Whether he lived or died didn't matter, but the Ye family's reputation could not be lost.
These ten million were not for Ye Liang's medical expenses.
Rather, they were for the Ye family in the capital, to save their face.
But the problem was, where would they get ten million from?
