The room was very clean. The floor was covered with a thick carpet, and the corners of the table and cupboard were wrapped with thick cloth. There was a fruit tray on the coffee table, but there were no knives or sharp objects.
"Dr. Gao, please come in." A woman in a white shirt welcomed Dr. Gao and Chen Ge into the house. She looked around forty and took good care of herself.
"Is Wang Xin's condition getting better?"
"She's using the sleeping pills and the two anti-depressants you prescribed, but the effect is very poor." The woman laughed bitterly. "Her condition hasn't improved much, but the side effects are more obvious. Retching, shaking hands, shivering. During lunch today, she couldn't even hold her chopsticks properly, and the food fell all over the floor. Dr. Gao, do you think Wang Xin will get better? "
"Trust me, she will definitely get better."
"Hmm." Only then did the woman notice Chen Ge. "This is?"
"My name is Chen Ge." Chen Ge did not want to waste time outside the door. "Can I see your daughter?"
"Er …" The woman turned to look at Dr. Gao like she was asking for his opinion.
"I will accompany him in."
After Dr. Gao nodded, the woman reluctantly let Chen Ge in. "The child is in the bedroom. She only took one bite of lunch before she started crying again."
The woman walked to a door inside the room and knocked lightly. There was no response, so she twisted the knob and pushed the door open a gap.
Without saying anything, the woman sighed and retreated to the side.
"Let's go in." Dr. Gao looked at Chen Ge. "Do not agitate the patient. You have to discuss with me before you do anything."
"Okay." Chen Ge promised again and again before entering Wang Xin's room with Dr. Gao.
The carpet had been thickened, and the corners of the cupboard and table had been smoothed. There was no sharp object in the room, and the windows were installed with anti-theft nets.
There was no bed in the room, only two thick mattresses stacked on top of each other. All the decorations were pure colors, without many patterns.
Dr. Gao shifted his body to the side, and only then did Chen Ge see the target he was looking for.
A slender girl was lying on the mattress. She was wearing a loose white shirt with a round collar and a pair of light blue shorts.
His skin was very white, and his limbs were spread out weakly. He gave off the feeling that he would break at any moment.
Noticing that someone had entered, the girl slowly sat up on the mattress. She was completely different from what Chen Ge had imagined. She looked normal, just a little reticent.
"Wang Xin, does your head still hurt?" Dr. Gao, who was tall and straight, squatted down beside the mattress gently, lowering his body below the other person's line of sight.
The girl shook her head, glanced at Chen Ge, and quickly retracted her gaze.
"Can you fall asleep?" Dr. Gao continued to ask. This time, the girl's reaction was more intense. She reached out to grab her hair, and she used a lot of force. When she pulled her hand away, the space between her fingers was filled with the black hair that had been pulled out.
"She still cannot fall asleep." Standing up, Dr. Gao's brows were tightly creased. "Both drugs are not working?"
"Dr. Gao, do you mind if I talk to her for a while?"
"Wang Xin's condition is still stable. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Chen Ge walked over. He mimicked Dr. Gao and squatted down before the girl.
The girl probably thought that he was a doctor, so she did not resist too much. She pulled on her sleeves to cover the red marks on her arms. They appeared to be the result of her own scratches.
The girl before him was very fragile. She gave off the feeling that she was a paper kite, held by a thin string. If he was not careful, she would snap and fly into the dark clouds. In the end, she would be torn apart by the storm.
"Wang Xin." Chen Ge took out the ballpoint pen that was wrapped with cellophane tape from his pocket. "Your friend has been wanting to tell you something, so I brought her here."
Wang Xin glanced at the ballpoint pen, but she did not show much emotion. Perhaps she tried to smile to reply to Chen Ge's cold joke, but she realized that she could not do it.
Dr. Gao and the woman who was eavesdropping outside the door were also confused. They had no idea what Chen Ge was doing.
Wang Xin did not respond, but Chen Ge was not in a hurry. He took out a piece of paper from the table and placed it on the mattress. He held the pen vertically and posed for the Pen Spirit game.
Chen Ge was facing away from Dr. Gao, and he was facing Wang Xin. He opened his mouth but did not make a sound. He mouthed the first few sentences of the Pen Spirit game.
Pen Spirit, Pen Spirit, you are mine …
His mouth opened and closed, and Wang Xin's attention was slowly attracted by Chen Ge. For the first time, she turned her head completely around to look at Chen Ge's mouth. Suddenly, she seemed to be reminded of something very scary. She waved her arms madly, and her body kept squeezing into the corner of the wall.
"What have you done?" The woman outside the door rushed in to help Dr. Gao stop Chen Ge.
"I'm helping her unravel the knot in her heart." Chen Ge held the ballpoint pen in his hand carefully. "Something that we do not know has happened to Wang Xin, and that is the real cause of her illness! Give me one minute, I only need one minute! "
He was determined. He leaned against the bed, protecting the pen. Before he came, he was only here to complete the Pen Spirit's mission, but after seeing the girl in pain, Chen Ge suddenly felt like he had to do something.
"How about I give him a try?" After a moment's hesitation, Dr. Gao chose to trust Chen Ge this once. "Throughout my treatment process, Wang Xin has never shown such emotions. Perhaps there is hope this time."
The woman was finally convinced by Dr. Gao. They were willing to give Chen Ge three minutes.
The two walked to the door. Chen Ge stood up to close the curtains and close the door.
"Wang Xin, your friend has something to tell you." He placed the pen on the paper again and chanted.
"Pen Spirit, Pen Spirit, you are my previous life, and I am your current life …"
When Chen Ge chanted, the girl hiding in the corner became more and more afraid. The memory that had haunted her for years appeared in her mind again.
Chen Ge continued. Not long after that, the pen that was hovering above the paper suddenly moved on its own. Then it wrote down a beautiful handwriting on the paper. The handwriting was completely different from Chen Ge's.
"Wang Xin, I didn't expect my little joke to hurt you so much. You must hate me a lot, don't you?"
Seeing the familiar handwriting on the paper, Wang Xin was stunned. At that moment, she felt like her heart was empty. She had no idea why she would feel that way.
"My death has nothing to do with you. That day, I saw you with someone else, so I purposely wanted to scare you. After I tied the rope around the chair, I didn't expect the chair to suddenly slip.
"You didn't do anything wrong. This is just a small prank by the selfish and despicable me."
