Chapter 59
After Yushu finished taking her medicine, the two of them chatted while drinking wine.
Yushu thought the light was too glaring and wanted to turn off some of the lights, but Shen Youlin refused: "Leave it like this, it's good. Tell me why you're in a bad mood."
"A child without a mother, it's a long story." Yushu sighed.
Shen Youlin threw peanuts into his mouth one by one: "I'll give you two minutes to organize your words."
"..."
"Oh, life is not easy. The rich lady sighs."
"Tsk, you're saying you're not useless? Becoming a rich lady like you, that's pretty much a failure."
"Why haven't you been beaten to death yet in all these years."
Shen Youlin was extremely proud: "Because I was born lucky. As long as I don't break the law, I can do whatever I want. Not like you, restricting yourself with so many rules and living such a tiring life."
"My rebirth skills are no good, of course my life is tiring."
"No, I said, it's the restrictions you placed on yourself. When I first saw you on the plane, I felt we were the same kind, a perfect match."
"..."
"A perfect match is not used like that."
Yushu held her forehead. This guy's also a PhD candidate in Chinese Language and Literature? Who would believe that? Yushu seriously suspected his academic credentials were fake.
"Who's the same kind as you? I can't live as unbridled as you do."
"That's because life has suppressed your true nature. Tell me, given the chance, wouldn't you indulge yourself?"
"..."
"See, I'm right on the mark," Shen Youlin rewarded her with a peanut.
Yushu said: "Can't refute that."
"I also spent a few muddled years in the past, without any self-respect. Later I felt everything was pretty boring, and the people around me were like idiots, I might as well go back to school and write my thesis, at least the idiots at school were lovable idiots."
"..."
"Is there anyone who's not an idiot in your eyes?"
"No one."
The two didn't leave the bar until dawn. When they came out of the private room, the bar hall had resumed its usual dim lighting. Shen Youlin's whole body was stiff as he supported Yushu out.
Yushu was dead drunk, and after two consecutive sleepless nights, she was so tired her eyes couldn't even open. But she still felt Shen Youlin shaking as he said hoarsely: "Are you afraid of the dark?"
"Yeah."
Yushu patted his back, "It's okay, don't be scared."
Shen Youlin sent her back to her apartment. In the living room of the apartment sat the two people Yushu least wanted to see right now - Ye Ping and Yu Feng.
The apartment door had a password lock, registered with Yu Feng's fingerprint.
Seeing her being supported back home by a strange man, Ye Ping, who had originally wanted to have a good talk with her, was instantly furious: "Yushu, do you have any shame?!"
"No..." Yushu couldn't even stand steadily, leaning on Shen Youlin and showing him to Ye Ping: "Handsome, right? I pay 80,000 a month to keep him. I have three more just like him, just right for a mahjong table!"
Shen Youlin: "..."
This "kind" is common?
"You, you..." Ye Ping pointed at her, trembling and unable to speak.
"What do you want to say? That chastity is the best dowry for a woman her whole life?" Yushu drunkenly smiled at Shen Youlin, "Look at her, she's hopping mad. She hasn't even figured out her own life yet wants to command others."
Ye Ping was furious beyond measure, throwing and smashing everything within reach. Yu Feng hurriedly went forward to persuade her but was beaten hard several times by Ye Ping.
Shen Youlin shielded Yushu, not letting her get cut by the falling glass fragments, picked up the drunk horizontally and headed for the master bedroom: "Let me handle this, don't blame me afterwards!"
Yushu was in a daze, not reacting to what he was saying, until he put her on the bed that she understood, pulling his sleeve and saying, "Okay."
Shen Youlin patted her head as if patting a silly girl's head, and patted her head: "So obedient."
When Yushu woke up from sleep, it was already evening, her stomach growling from hunger.
After taking a shower she went to the living room. The messy living room had been cleaned up spotless. Auntie was busy in the kitchen, dinner was already laid out on the table.
Seeing her come out, Auntie handed her a glass of juice: "Wet your whistle first. Mr. Shen said he's coming for dinner, he's on his way, will be here soon."
Auntie's tone was ambiguous, she had obviously misunderstood their relationship. Yushu didn't have the energy to explain, drinking the juice while calling Shen Youlin. The call didn't go through but the doorbell rang - Shen Youlin was back.
Auntie tactfully left, giving the space to the couple.
Shen Youlin was concise and to the point: "Your dad is at the hospital taking care of your brother, your mom is hospitalized."
"You beat up my mom?"
"Look at you saying that, do I look like such a violent person? I sent her to the Sixth."
The Sixth, the colloquial name for Blue City Sixth People's Hospital, the most famous psychiatric hospital in the province.
"Your dear mom has borderline personality disorder, as well as severe manic depression and depression, accompanied by severe anxiety, and that strong desire for control of hers also stems from extreme lack of security. The doctor diagnosed her and immediately gave her a hospitalization order."
Yushu didn't know what to say. She had never dared to think too deeply in that direction. She vaguely remembered when she was very little, Ye Ping wasn't like this. She was beautiful and gentle, always smiling, speaking softly, keeping the house tidy, braiding her hair beautifully every day. It was the hard life that forced her into what she had become.
"The doctor said your mother's condition is quite complex, partly congenital inheritance, partly personality, and partly life experience."
"Inherited?"
"Yeah, your dad said that your mom's close relatives, aunts, grandmas and the like, quite a few were mentally abnormal."
"Then I might also..."
"Then what about you?" Shen Youlin teased her, "Are you going to the hospital tomorrow too, to get scheduled for electroshock therapy?"
"That's not a bad idea either."
Shen Youlin anxiously said: "I'm joking with you! Nowadays, who doesn't have some issues? Why are you thinking so much! I have problems too!"
"What problems do you have?"
"Me? I have a little deviation in my perception of this world." Shen Youlin raised his arm and shouted: "I'm the king of the world!"
Yushu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the gloom of the past two days was swept away in an instant.
