Wu Bin felt he had had a very long dream.
In the dream, he returned to the cave, back to the side of the pool.
In the pool, his own reflection still showed him a sinister smile.
Only this time, the reflection didn’t disappear, but rather it picked up a dagger, stabbed into its right wrist, gouged out a monster’s eye, and swallowed it in front of Wu Bin.
Wu Bin had never seen such a scene and woke up terrified.
"Don’t, don’t eat me!"
Wu Bin opened his eyes and abruptly sat up in bed.
It wasn’t until this moment that Wu Bin realized he was back in the familiar intensive care unit, and the bespectacled doctor in nurse’s attire was standing by, looking at him with concern.
Apart from the bespectacled doctor, there were also Li Guotai, Xu Wenyao, Han Jiaoyan, He Bingbing, and others in the ward.
Seeing Wu Bin scream and sit up from the bed, everyone’s gaze fell on him.
Wu Bin felt a bit embarrassed.
"Everyone... is here?"
The netizens in the live broadcast room were extremely excited.
"Seeing the state of my Brother Wu, he should have returned to normal, right?"
"Nonsense, mental illnesses aren’t that easy to cure, but being transferred to a regular ward means the situation has definitely improved."
"I really hope my Brother Wu can be safe and healthy; this child has suffered too much, let him have a good outcome."
The netizens were all praying for Wu Bin.
But Wu Bin was completely bewildered.
Shouldn’t he be with Han Jiaoyan?
How was he sent back to the hospital?
As if seeing the confusion in Wu Bin’s heart, Li Guotai stepped forward with a smile and said, "Wu Bin, you just had a nightmare, didn’t you?"
"It’s alright, don’t be afraid; you are back at our hospital now, you’re safe here."
Wu Bin asked, "Director Li, why am I here?"
Li Guotai explained, "Previously, considering the severity of your mental condition, we arranged for you to be transferred for specialized treatment."
"Just last night, you were transferred back here, and Dr. Jin said your illness is cured."
Upon hearing the three words ’Dr. Jin’, Wu Bin instantly became alert.
"Director Li, the Dr. Jin you mentioned, is his name Jin Nanhua?"
Li Guotai smiled and nodded.
"Yes, Dr. Jin is a well-known psychiatrist in Dragon Country; since he says your illness is cured, I think there should be no problem with it."
"But just to be safe, I still need to perform a check on you first."
Li Guotai gestured, and four psychiatrists stepped forward to examine Wu Bin.
One of the doctors, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, pushed up the glasses on his nose and smiled, "Wu Bin, next I will test your mental state with five simple Q&A questions."
"If you answer three out of five questions correctly, you can be discharged; if less than three, you will need to stay in the hospital for observation. Do you understand?"
Wu Bin nodded.
"I understand; I’m ready to start at any time."
Wu Bin was still somewhat nervous.
After all, he had failed the previous question test and was directly diagnosed with mental illness.
If he couldn’t pass this time, that would be troublesome.
The bespectacled doctor spoke up, "If you’re ready, then let’s begin now."
"Wu Bin, please listen to the first question."
"What kind of person needs to go to the hospital every day?"
"A patient?" Wu Bin ventured hesitantly.
The bespectacled doctor shook his head.
"No, it’s a doctor."
"Patients aren’t sick every day."
Wu Bin: ...
Damn, you’re playing mind games with me, aren’t you!
"There’s a flaw in your question; not all doctors go to work every day."
The bespectacled doctor retorted, "How can you say that? Our Director Li comes to the hospital every day to work, even eating and living here."
Li Guotai said with a smile, "Just ask the questions properly, don’t bring me into this. Devotion to my duty is just what I’m supposed to do."
Alright, alright, are you two performing a double act here?
Using my popularity to showcase your dedication to work, huh?
Wu Bin said with a somewhat headache, "Doctor, can you ask me some more normal questions? Not these brain teasers?"
The bespectacled doctor glanced at Li Guotai.
After getting Li Guotai’s consent, the bespectacled doctor nodded and continued, "Alright then, I will ask you some normal questions."
"What’s one plus one?"
"Two," Wu Bin blurted out.
As a result, the entire ward fell silent.
Wu Bin was made somewhat nervous by this silence.
"Isn’t it two? Don’t mess with me; how much do you say it is then?"
The bespectacled doctor seriously said, "Wu Bin, I would like you to prove why one plus one equals two."
What the fuck!
Wu Bin could hardly resist cursing outright.
"Have you gone crazy, or have I? You want me to prove that one plus one equals two? Can you prove it yourself?"
Wu Bin finally understood how those misdiagnosed with mental illness must feel, so powerless and heartbroken.
The most troublesome part is that everyone has preconceived notions about you.
So, at this point, no matter what you say, they will think you’re mentally ill.
Just when Wu Bin was ready to quit and turn hostile,
suddenly there were two bangs.
Song Bing and Xue Qiang took out their confetti cannons and sprayed away!
"Wuhu! Congratulations to Old Wu on your recovery!"
The group, which had just been serious, suddenly all broke out in smiles, clapping and then coming forward to embrace Wu Bin.
Wu Bin was a bit bewildered.
"What is this?"
The bespectacled doctor explained with a smile, "I’m sorry, Wu Bin, this was all Director Li’s arrangement, he said he wanted to give you a surprise."
Li Guotai explained, "The people who came with you last night also brought a new mental health evaluation report, which says that your mental health is completely normal, so there was actually no need for any tests today."
"We did this to give you a surprise."
Surprise my ass, this was literally a scare, okay!
Wu Bin almost thought he was going to be sent back to the mental hospital.
"Congratulations, Wu Bin,"
He Bingbing stepped forward and gave Wu Bin a tight hug.
He Bingbing hugged very tightly, and Wu Bin indeed felt her sincerity, heavy and substantial.
Next was Han Jiaoyan, and then Yin Yourong.
Xu Wenyao also wanted to come up for a hug, but Wu Bin rejected him, opting for a handshake instead.
What’s there for two grown men to hug about.
Xu Wenyao held Wu Bin’s hand tightly, saying excitedly, "Wu Bin, ever since you fell ill, I haven’t eaten well, slept well, and have lost quite a bit of weight."
"Now that I see you’re fine, I’m very relieved and hope you can return to the Agricultural University soon. Our Agricultural University needs you."
Wu Bin glanced at Xu Wenyao’s double chin and large belly, snickering to himself.
Lose weight?
You’ve at least gained ten pounds, old Deng!
