Chapter 8, The Classic Performance of the Film Emperor
The "Best Actor" over there has started to subtly steer the discussion towards "autism" and "depression," and the couple's faces are becoming increasingly pale. Ever since several celebrities in the entertainment industry have been diagnosed with depression, the general public has been somewhat educated about it. However, this education has gone a bit too far, leading to rumors in society that depression is almost akin to a terminal illness.
Zhang Dadao moved faster, murmuring to himself: "Fortunately, they indeed took the elevator up!" He couldn't help but feel grateful for his quick pace. Given the current situation, the people in the hospital were likely not in a good mood. Hearing the voice of the 'Best Actor,' they would probably have to endure some hardships. If things went poorly, those in isolation on the upper three floors might have to stay for a few days
This is the first time Zhang Dadao has witnessed the full-throttle performance of the "Best Actor," which truly lives up to his nickname. This couple has also been deceived by the "Best Actor," or perhaps they never doubted him from the beginning. After all, the scenario of a patient pretending to be a doctor is something one might see in television and film, and no one would believe it could actually happen in real life
Adding to this, the mischievous child usually keeps to himself, and at that moment, the female protagonist in the class was reduced to tears, nearly prompting a call to the police
The scene was shocking, leaving the entire audience in stunned silence. The expressions on the faces of the couple and Zhang Dadao were particularly striking. The couple had not anticipated encountering such a classic moment, while Zhang Dadao was even more surprised that the 'Best Actor' remained so calm at this moment, decisively taking the initiative to strike first and countering with a clever move. Even Wang Hao, who had always maintained a neutral expression, revealed a hint of excitement and exhilaration.
At this moment, Zhang Dadao was not in the mood to watch the commotion; he hurriedly left the room and ran down the stairs. As he ran, Zhang Dadao complained, "What a blunder, what a blunder! I can't even check my own fortune and have completely forgotten about myself! Everyone else is having bad luck; how could I escape this?"
The "Best Actor" said with a raised hand, "No," which made Zhang Dada raise his eyebrows. Although they could smoke, they could not have fire. Every time they wanted to smoke, they had to find a doctor, which basically meant they could not smoke much. The "Best Actor" was clearly someone who smoked and had a considerable addiction; he usually could not get enough. The fact that he refused at this moment indicated that he was exerting great effort. After looking at those test results for a while, the "Best Actor" finally said leisurely:
Zhang Dadao trembled at that moment and whispered, "This is bad; indeed, one can escape from the Taoist but not from the temple!"
The Best Actor, Yi Le, chuckled twice and then said, "According to what you said, it’s nothing? Can what you say count as your own?" The Best Actor unleashed the omnipotent phrase of the internet trolls, "You Can You Up." The woman immediately fell silent.
Upon hearing the term "Best Actor," the couple first let out a sigh of relief, only to feel a sudden tightening in their hearts. Zhang Dadao observed their expressions and felt a surge of joy within; this couple, with their blue aura topped with a hint of red, indeed seemed to be facing misfortune. In contrast, the "Best Actor" was likely to encounter bad luck shortly.
The "Film Emperor" is also becoming increasingly popular, embellishing the conditions of several patients with depression in the ward and attributing them to one person, causing the woman to burst into tears. She clutched her child tightly, as if her life was hanging by a thread. Zhang Dadao found it immensely entertaining; he initially thought that the "Film Emperor" was quite abnormal and had little fondness for him. However, after this incident, he realized that this guy was indeed very amusing.
It is essential to encounter a reliable doctor who can educate the child on knowledge and proper posture, guide their psychology, and pay a little attention to their education. However, the unfortunate child has encountered a "best actor" during a "casting audition." Zhang Dadao cannot even imagine how this first-rate lunatic and second-rate psychologist would deal with them
Upon hearing the words of the middle-aged man, the "Best Actor" furrowed his brows, looking at the stack of test results with a frown as he posed thoughtfully. The woman, feeling somewhat anxious, pressed on: "Doctor, is there really something wrong or not? In my opinion, it’s not a big deal. At this age, which child isn’t a bit curious about the opposite sex? There are even students at their school who go to hotels together. They are fine, so why are you fixating on our Haohao? Isn’t it just because our child is introverted and easy to bully?"
Zhang Dadao immediately sensed that something was amiss. This fat man, being such a cunning old fox, would surely call for security and caregivers in such a situation. The 'Best Actor' merely curled his lip, picked up the phone, and pretended to notify someone. Zhang Dadao quickly stood up and walked in front of the 'Best Actor' amidst the astonished gazes of the couple, pressed down on the phone, and patted his shoulder, saying: 'Alright, you have been accepted'
Just as the "Best Actor" and Zhang Dadao were enjoying themselves, the door to the consultation room suddenly opened, and a short, plump middle-aged man stood dazed at the entrance. Everyone turned to look at the chubby man in a white coat, whose comical expression also left them stunned. This fellow was known to Zhang Dadao; he was the head doctor in charge of psychological counseling, Dr. Guo, affectionately referred to as Panda Grandpa by the little mole, sporting old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Dadao turned around and left. Behind him, the "Best Actor" suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Yeah!" He then frequently shook hands and embraced the couple, even pulling Wang Hao along to shout congratulations for quite a while.
The man recounted his son's situation in great detail. In fact, it was not a significant matter; after listening, Zhang Dadao could only sigh repeatedly about the shortcomings of adolescent education in our great Tianchao.
What you mentioned is not really a big deal; it is merely an issue with sexual enlightenment. It can be resolved by properly correcting the concepts. Reporting a psychological counseling session should not be a major problem, but there are indeed some complications with other matters
At that moment, a faint voice from above could be heard saying, "What are you doing! What are you doing! I still have to go to the film crew tomorrow, don't move, ah!"
The man hurriedly offered a cigarette to the "Best Actor" and said, "Doctor, please calm down, take your time to speak."
After the teacher learned about it, he also believed that the child was psychologically disturbed. As a result, the parents were frightened and took their son for an examination, hoping it would not affect his transfer to another school to continue his studies
Just when Zhang Dadao thought he was about to solve the case, the "Best Actor" calmly adjusted the test report in his hand with a "snap" and suddenly stood up, pointing at the doorway where Guo Pangzi was standing, and questioned loudly: "Guo Zongkang! You are pretending to be a doctor again! Whose white coat did you steal!"
Nevertheless, Zhang Dadao felt not the slightest bit of embarrassment in his heart. After all, he had to be isolated for a few days every now and then. The saying goes, "A dead friend is better than a living one," so it was naturally wise to run away first. Zhang Dadao ran swiftly and soon exited the outpatient department through the side door, quickly making his way back to Building 3
Indeed, such a kaleidoscope cannot be found elsewhere. Caught off guard by the sudden attack of the 'Best Actor', Guo the Fatty, being an old hand in the game, took a careful look at the few people in the room, merely smiled, nodded at the couple, and turned to leave
The child named Wang Hao, however, had a blank expression, neither flushed nor pale, appearing extremely calm. His father had angrily hit him several times, yet he silently endured it, showing not a hint of emotion. Zhang Dadao shook his head slightly, thinking to himself: 'If this unruly child continues in this state, there will be another patient added to the list.'
In fact, it is merely that this mischievous child named Wang Hao has been teasing the girls in class, while also engaging in some voyeuristic activities. Unfortunately for him, this mischievous child is quite honest and has recorded his thoughts and experiences in detail. As a result, when that little notebook was discovered, it spread throughout the entire class in a single day, with intentions of disseminating it across the whole school. It bears a striking resemblance to the fervor of the past when hand-copied yellow books circulated.
Rushing into the room referred to as the observation room by the patients and as the observation room by the doctors, just as Zhang Dadao sat down and had not yet caught his breath, Old Han suddenly appeared from somewhere, pressing down on his head and saying: "You finally returned. I just heard in the duty room that Dr. Xiao Su will be coming over shortly. I heard that you caused quite a stir with the 'Film Emperor' over at the outpatient department?"
