Chapter 41.7: The Reincarnated type Childhood friend s obsession (1/2)

”Yu Hui.”

”..........”

”Yu Hui?”

”Ah, yes, my apologies. I was daydreaming for a moment.”

After my name was being called out twice, I then regained my senses from amidst deep thoughts.

”Mm............blurred consciousness, huh? Do you still know who I am? Try calling out my full name.”

Doctor He slightly frowned her eyebrows, as she placed the cigarette that was hung from her mouth onto the ashtray, and focusedly queried me onto my body's condition.

It must be because of me suddenly daydreaming, which made her thought that I've relapsed again. I once again made someone worry about me already, I'm really such a...........

Hastily unveiling out a smile, I displayed out a look of energetic POWER appearance as I replied.

”I'm fine, my consciousness is very clear. You're the psychiatry's He Meng Yu, Doctor He, right. I'm really sorry, as I'm thinking about other things just now.”

(TL: Her ”you” towards Doctor He is in the polite respectful form, a ”您”)

Doctor didn't say anything, only kept staring at my eyes, and after a while picked up the cigarette on the ashtray and hung it on her mouth once more.

The ash tray was very clean, and as the hospital forbids smoking, Doctor He didn't light up this cigarette, but merely dangled it.

Always an appearance of sleep deprivation; having very thick dark circles; dangling a cigarette, these were Doctor He Meng Yu's three traits.

”Mm...........looks like it's indeed fine already. Well then, from today onwards, you're finally not required to periodically come look for this aunt of yours then.”

(TL: The aunt here wasn't really referring to being her real aunt, it's just a friendly way of addressing oneself closely)

”This is all due to your hard work.”

Doctor He wasn't rather confident towards herself, often self-mocking that she's already a yellow-faced wife*.

But she's clearly a beauty from what I could see. Her figure's so perfect to the point where it made people envy, with a slight dolling up, she'll definitely be able to attract the gazes of men. Along with the title of Doctor, there unquestionably would be many people chasing after her by right, so I really don't understand what's there to be feeling so inferior about.

”Uuu...........but I didn't help out in anything at all, in the end, up to the very final moment, I couldn't help out to cure your sickness.”

”No, if it's not you helping me to control the duration of its relapse, it's impossible for me to peacefully go though these few years.”

”Mm............but I at most could only help up to that sort of level.”

”That's already a heavenly great gratitude, I'll definitely repay you.”

”You don't need to...........but Yu Hui, it's really quite a rare sight to see you actively daydream, do you have someone that you liked?”

Someone that I liked...........huh?

”............Perhaps.”

”Is it, well then, work hard on it, it's also not an easy task for you to be able to enjoy your youth.”

Doctor paused for a while before continuing to speak.

”Consider this from a person who had experienced it before...........once, there were two chances placed right in front of me. But I didn't properly grab onto them, so if you really have someone that you like, don't bother about anything else and just proactively go for it, if not when the time comes, it'll be too late for regrets already............”

”I see...........Doctor, you weren't able to be together with the person you liked?”

”Mm...........the person I liked had already been married for 10 plus years already...........his children are already as big as you, with a blissful happy family too.”

”I see...........”

Somehow, I'm able to understand a little of Doctor's melancholic feelings, because my situation's slightly similar somewhat............as he already had a girlfriend............

Knock, knock knock.

Knocking sounds that disrupted the silence emanated, and Doctor He absentmindedly shouted out a 'Come in'.

A strict-looking middle aged man pushed open the door and walked in.

”An, An-zhǔrèn! Why did you come over!”

(TL: ^ suffix refers to head doctor or something)

Doctor He who was still in a cross-legged sitting position earlier, upon seeing the incoming person frantically stood up. The cigarette that was dangling on her mouth fell onto the floor, her eyes gaping wider than usual slightly, and even made a great show of tidying her clothing.

This was still my first time that I saw that Doctor He being so panicky. I remembered when the hospital director came to look for her last time, she didn't even stand up from her seat, and had a rather casual attitude also...........don't tell me that this sharp-eyed male doctor was Doctor He's target of affection?

He looked a little similar to him too...........

”There's still a patient here? Then later on I'll once again...........”

”Ah, it's alright, the diagnosis have already ended. Then Doctor He, I'll first head on back.”

”Mn? Ah, ahh, then Yu Hui, be careful on your way back, if there's anything just give me a call anytime.”

”Alright, I got it. Well then, I'll take my leave first.”

After nodding my head and bading farewell, I pushed open the door and left the room. That place shall be left for Doctor to be alone together with him then.

Even though the person that she liked had already married and had children for so many years already, Doctor He still was unable to forget, huh...........that's true, being unable to forget was then the normal thing to happen...........

Walking on the way back to school, my brain wasn't feeling any sort of giddiness anymore. Although daddy unveiled a face of concern as he suggested to drive and pick me up, but it was being rejected by me. The me right now was fine already; capable of properly being mindful of the traffic lights color changes and the passing by cars, being able to go out by myself.

Recently, my thoughts became more and more clear already.

I won't once again become sleepy without a reason already.

Able to remember many things already.

And also won't suddenly fall asleep already.

My lifestyle changed into having no difference compared to a normal person's.

Father and Mother were delighted to tears, saying that it's my narcolepsy being finally cured.

(TL: narcolepsy is an excessive sleeping disorder. wiki link here)

It's really been hard on them............ever since I relapsed from middle school until now, they had always taken care of me as their utmost priority. I can't find any words to express out my gratitude towards them.

When I had just graduated into middle school, I suddenly acquired a bizarre illness.

Unable to stay awake.

Cannot help myself from sleeping.

A huge portion of an entire day spent sleeping.
