Chapter 122 - Wake Him Up! (1/2)

Translator: Lonelytree  Editor: Millman97

Men Nan honestly looked quite scary, like he was possessed. After about ten minutes, his arms reached forward once more to try to push himself up. After several failures, Men Nan finally managed to sit up.

His eyes were fully white, and Men Nan sat on the bed, his head slightly lowered.

“Doctor Gao, has he woken up?”

Chen Ge and Doctor Gao were standing about one meter away from Men Nan, but the young man did not seem to notice them as his eyes stared forward. His pupils were rolled back to his head, so they could only see white of his eyes.

“Probably not.” Doctor Gao signaled for Chen Ge to take a step back. Both of them leaned against the wall to avoid running into Men Nan.

“Then, is this sleepwalking?” This was the first time Chen Ge had seen something so weird as well.

“Sleepwalking is a type of common sleep impediment, but if it was just pure sleepwalking, his pupils would not have rolled back so far.”

The two communicated softly. Men Nan sat on the bed for a while, and without warning, he slowly stood up.

“Should we wake him?” Their original plan had been to wake Men Nan when he did anything weird, and this was already past the definition of something weird.

“No, if we wake him now, we might break his already fragile mind.” Doctor Gao paused before adding, “I’ve been watching Men Nan’s face and following the changes to his expression. Even if we are forced to wake him, we should wait until there’s a drastic change in his emotions.”

The two exited the bedroom and stood outside for observation. Men Nan stood beside his bed for a few minutes before slowly turning to face the living room. His head was still lowered, and his eyes were open, but they were mostly white. In such a condition, he moved his legs to walk out of the bedroom.

Chen Ge nudged Doctor Gao lightly. “What is he doing now?”

“I’ve treated a child who sleepwalked before. He suffered from slight OCD, and every night he fell asleep, he would spend more than half an hour fixing the mattress to make sure the four edges lined up perfectly. After he fell asleep, he would sleepwalk in the middle of the night to again fix the edges before going back to sleep.” Doctor Gao looked at Men Nan, and his face was full of worry. “That kind of sleepwalking that eventually return to bed is not so bad; we’re most afraid of sleepwalkers who attempt things that are unexpected.”

After Men Nan exited the bedroom, he did not stop or hesitate and head for the bathroom directly. The wooden door was pushed open, and without turning, he walked toward the mirror.

The faucet was turned on, and the bathroom was soon filled with the sound of rushing water.

“Is he planning to wash his hair?”

Chen Ge looked at Doctor Gao, who looked back at him with equal shock. “Don’t look at me; this is the first time I’ve seen this as well.”

The sound of water intensified, and Chen Ge as well as Doctor Gao rushed to the bathroom. Men Nan, who stood before the sink, was slowly bending down.

His head lowered, and they both caught a glimpse of Men Nan’s upside-down face. Even then, his pupils were nowhere to be seen. His head touched the water and Men Nan’s expression finally changed. His face twitched slightly like he had seen something incredibly scary.

Chen Ge quivered under his gaze. He turned back to look, but there was nothing inside the room.
