Early in the morning of the next day, Chi Zhao left his apartment. This time he didn't need to reach the parking lot before he saw Qi Yuyang.
Although Chi Zhao had already found out yesterday that he was living nearby, it probably wasn't enough to expose him.
Chi Zhao was silent for a moment. He then decided to ignore him and continue on.
Just as he was about to pass Qi Yuyang, Qi Yuyang who had his eyes lowered spoke up, "This morning, I will go see a doctor."
Chi Zhao's footsteps stopped.
He turned his head slightly. Qi Yuyang also slowly looked at him. He opened his mouth and seemed to be a little nervous, "Can you accompany me?"
Chi Zhao's eyes stirred slightly. Qi Yuyang looked at him nervously but Chi Zhao in the end shook his head and refused despite Qi Yuyang's look of expectation and anxiousness, "No."
Almost instantly, the light in Qi Yuyang's eyes faded. Chi Zhao secretly took in a deep breath and turned to leave. This was the hallway of the apartment. After Chi Zhao entered the elevator, he couldn't see the situation on Qi Yuyang's end so he could only ask the system, "What is his expression like now?"
[Like his wife had just died.]
Chi Zhao: "....."
Although he knew that the system was mocking him, he couldn't help but admit that it really fit the situation…..
Qi Yuyang had stayed in a rehabilitation centre for two years, been under psychiatric care for three years and had also received five years of uninterrupted psychological counselling. After all of this, he realised that genius doctors and all the most advanced therapies in the world were all useless. If they played any role, it was that they had made him even more irritable.
As a result, Qi Yuyang had no good impressions of psychologists and psychiatrists. He had been disappointed too many times, so it was hard to even be a little hopeful.
Sitting in the dressing room early in the morning, the makeup artist helped Chi Zhao apply his makeup. On the other end, the new assistant arranged by his manager was setting everything up for Chi Zhao. After some thought, Chi Zhao asked his new assistant, "How many scenes do I have today?"
The assistant flipped through the storyboard and answered with a bowed head, "Three scenes. One in the morning and two in the afternoon. There is also an action scene in the afternoon. Brother Xue, shall we use a stand-in?"
After the little assistant finished asking this question, he didn't hear an answer from the other party. He raised his head and saw that Chi Zhao was still lost in thought, so he asked again.
Chi Zhao blinked his eyes a few times and asked instead, "When will the scene this morning be done?"
The little assistant chuckled, "How should I know that? It depends on how well Brother Xue performs. If you are good, perhaps it would be over in one shot."
...…And that was impossible.
Chi Zhao angrily lowered his leg and changed to a more comfortable sitting position. Suddenly, the system's voice appeared in his head.
[You want to see him?]
Chi Zhao rubbed the tip of his shoe against the cement floor, "No. I just wanted to see how Cheng Ran treats Qi Yuyang's illness."
Wasn't that the same as going to see him?
[Don't think about it. As soon as you leave, Qi Yuyang will definitely know about it on his end. As a celebrity who is being watched by tens of thousands of people, you wouldn't be able to eavesdrop at all. Just sit here. Besides, Cheng Ran is the youngest top psychiatrist in the world. With him around, you will most certainly be sent to jail just as you have desired.]
Chi Zhao: "...Alright. I'll take your word for it."
Qi Yuyang didn't directly go to Cheng Ran's clinic. He waited outside in his car for more than three hours, staring at his phone the entire time, hoping for the screen to light up. Unfortunately, the screen remained dark and the person who was on his mind clearly had no intentions to call him.
Qi Yuyang was very generous. He booked Cheng Ran's time for the entire day all at once. Cheng Ran had nothing to do in his spare time so he read a book in his office for a while before walking over to his window and looking downstairs at the black business car parked outside.
That car had been parked there since nine o'clock in the morning and the owner of the car hadn't moved the entire time with no intention to get off or do anything else.
Cheng Ran found it funny. Did Qi Yuyang really think Xue Qing would change his mind?
Without even needing to think about it, Cheng Ran could tell that Qi Yuyang was waiting for Xue Qing but with Xue Qing being so repulsed by him, how could he come and accompany him to see a doctor? It was a foolish dream.
Upstairs and downstairs, the two people had different thoughts in their minds and when they met, both didn't show very pleasant attitudes. Qi Yuyang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot while Cheng Ran made no attempt to hide the gloating expression on his face.
Fortunately, Cheng Ran still remembered his identity. He stretched out his hand, "Take a seat."
Sitting in the leather recliner in the office, Qi Yuyang didn't show any intentions to lie down. He firstly glanced at Cheng Ran, "Before you, I have seen many psychiatrists and psychologists. They can all be summarised with just one word, useless."
Cheng Ran smiled and replied with kindness, "I think they can also summarise you in one word, bastard."

Qi Yuyang narrowed his eyes. The temperature in his eyes dropped several degrees. Cheng Ran stood up and said sternly, "Of course, you can rest assured that I am different from them. Until now, I have not encountered any difficult illnesses that I couldn't understand."
The words Cheng Ran had used was very interesting. He said that there were no difficult illnesses that he couldn't understand but he didn't say that there are no illnesses that he couldn't cure. In other words, he could definitely diagnose the source and cause of the illness but even despite this, it cannot be guaranteed that the problem could be resolved.
That was also understandable. Psychological illnesses are the same as physical illnesses and some illnesses cannot be cured. If everything could be cured, then Cheng Ran wouldn't just be an ordinary psychiatrist but a cult leader instead.
Without over-exaggeration and over-humility, Qi Yuyang's opinion of Cheng Ran improved somewhat. If his favourability rating was negative ten thousand before, it had now changed to negative nine hundred and ninety-nine.
...…
Cheng Ran's questioning process was the same as the doctors Qi Yuyang had seen before. He asked him to tell him what he felt was wrong and then talk about what he thought may be the cause for the problem. Finally, he asked him some other questions and made him look at some strange pictures.
Qi Yuyang was very familiar with this entire process. It was because of this familiarity that he started to feel irritable. Cheng Rang could sense his impatience but he didn't pay it any heed. He put away the pictures and smiled lightly at Qi Yuyang, "There are no shortages of expert psychologists and psychiatrists in this world. With President Qi's identity and financial status, I believe the doctors you have seen were not useless and some may even be better than me."
Qi Yuyang furrowed his brows, "What are you trying to say?"
"I want to say that they couldn't give you the right treatment not because their skills were limited but because they didn't have enough information. The last time you received treatment was a year ago. At that time, you hadn't met Xue Qing yet have you?"
Qi Yuyang was silent for a while, "I knew Xue Qing from a long time ago. We were high school classmates."
Cheng Ran was stunned. He clearly didn't expect them to also have this type of relationship. He asked again, "Then try and recall for a moment. From the time you started to have the headaches until the time you discovered that Xue Qing can treat your headaches, have you seen Xue Qing?"
Qi Yuyang pressed his lips together, "No."
After saying this, he quickly raised his head, "But what does this matter have to do with Xue Qing?"
Cheng Ran seemed to have heard something unbelievable. He widened his eyes slightly, "What kind of question is that? Can't you see that there is a very obvious relationship here? You don't have headaches only when you see him so it means that your condition is related to him. The cause of it is probably Xue Qing. Those doctors couldn't diagnose it before because you hadn't met Xue Qing then and they didn't know of this connection between you two."
Qi Yuyang didn't say that he was kidnapped and only said that he had suffered a severe psychological trauma six years ago. Cheng Ran could tell that he was very resistant, so he didn't ask any further. In any case, he could take his time, there was no need to rush. This was also why Cheng Ran didn't realise how terrible it would be if there was a relationship between Xue Qing and the cause for Qi Yuyang's headaches.
Qi Yuyang stared at Cheng Ran and said with emphasis, "Because I love him, I feel reassured when I see him, so I don't get headaches. He is someone who can give him a sense of security no one else can give. That is the reason. He isn't related to the cause of my condition."
Cheng Ran's expression changed slightly. He leaned against his chair and said disapprovingly, "Qi Yuyang, President Qi, have you watched too many TV dramas? The saying that one person is another person's life-saving pill may be true, but it definitely isn't the case between you and Xue Qing. If one person can have such a big effect on another person's psychological state, there can only be two reasons. One, the two have known each other long enough for one to become a pillar of support for the other person, or two, that person isn't a person but a god who can provide you with spiritual comfort. Which category do you and Xue Qing fit in?"
After saying that, Cheng Ran sat up straight and rested his elbows on the office table. He asked Qi Yuyang very seriously, "Or, did you fall in love with Xue Qing six years ago?"
...…
Chi Zhao came back very early today. He had noticed that the more things he had on his mind, the better his acting skills were. He didn't use a stand-in for that action scene in the afternoon and had personally had a fight with the action teacher, almost beating him black and blue.
Although it had left the action teacher with some psychological shadows, for once Chi Zhao really cleared the scene in one shot. When he returned home, he finished his dinner and remained in the living room watching TV.
If it was the usual, Chi Zhao would have gone back to his bedroom to play on his phone but today it was almost 8 o'clock and he still hadn't gone back. He continued to stare intently at the TV. The system could no longer remain silent.
[What use is there staying here? You don't know which room he is staying in and you also don't know if he's back.]
Chi Zhao whose intentions were suddenly seen through hesitated for a few minutes. He then finally turned the TV off and got up.

Seeing that he was going back to the bedroom, the system expressed its satisfaction.
"Ding dong——–"
Chi Zhao turned his head. The system reported immediately.
[Qi Yuyang is outside.]
Chi Zhao quickly put on his slippers and semi-jogged over to the door. When he reached the door, he immediately stepped onto his brakes.
He cannot open that door.
While Chi Zhao debated over whether he should ignore it completely or say something through the door to make him leave, Qi Yuyang outside spoke first.
The camera was integrated in the door. As Qi Yuyang stared at the door, he was staring at the camera. For Chi Zhao who as looking at the intercom screen, it created an illusion that the two were looking at each other.
Chi Zhao suddenly felt a little nervous.
"…..I don't like seeing doctors."
Qi Yuyang's voice was low and clear, and it also carried a bit of vulnerability that could easily be perceived. He knew that Xue Qing was behind this door and he also knew that Xue Qing wouldn't open the door for him, so he only spoke to himself, "The moment I step into the clinic, it means that I am unwell. My heart, my brain, my nerves, if I was I had a problem with it, I would treat it, but what I'm really afraid of is...Not being able to cure this problem for the rest of my life."
Some conditions are not terminal illnesses, but they are more terrifying than terminal illnesses because they are conditions that are psychologically devastating to the patient. The moment the patient realises that they have to live with this pain and suffering for the rest of their life is the most painful moment for them.
Healthy people can never understand how scared and sad people who are sick are feeling. Humans are social animals; everyone is afraid of not fitting in. Qi Yuyang's resistance and fear was also because of this.
He was afraid that Xue Qing would leave him because of this abnormality of his.
Qi Yuyang had said a lot of small bits and pieces. He spoke about whatever came to his mind regardless of whether there was anyone behind the door. When he was done, Qi Yuyang took a step forward.
He reached out and gently touched the cool door panel. The position he touched was exactly Chi Zhao's height. His actions were cautious and extremely gentle making Chi Zhal feel as if his fingers were lingering on his cheeks.
"It's hot recently. Don't turn the air conditioner on too high at night."
"I'm leaving. Good night."
