She was sure that Shen Qiubai did not know her. Whether it was in her previous life or the many worlds that she had transmigrated to, she did not know her.
However, Shen Qiubai was looking at her with a familiar, self-reproachful, guilty gaze. It was as if Shen Qiubai was looking at her, but it was also as if Shen Qiubai was looking at someone else through her.
As if sensing Shen Xi's doubts, Yu Qiubai said in a low voice, "My mother often recognizes the wrong person. She is always looking for someone. I don't know what she is looking for. Ever since her illness acted up, she has locked herself in her room every day. She does not want to go out or see the light."
He thought that she had some kind of ability to comfort his mother, but it seemed that was not the case. His mother had recognized the wrong person again. It had been a long time since she had recognized the wrong person.
"Mental illness needs to be cured. I'm afraid that I can't cure your mother's illness alone." Shen Xi looked at him. "Do you know what kind of trauma your mother suffered in the past or something that greatly affected her?"
"I don't know." Yu Qiubai smiled bitterly and shook his head. If he had known, his mother's illness would not have developed to this state.
He had taken her to every place in the world and visited all the famous doctors. They all said that mental illness needs to be cured.
But his mother had never told anyone, including him, what was bothering her or what she had been through.
He had been looking for clues about his mother's past. Recently, he had found some clues, but he could not tell her.
When Shen Xi spoke to Mother Yu again, she ignored her. She sobbed softly and mumbled something that no one could understand.
Yu Qiubai could no longer hide the heartache in his eyes. He picked up the blanket beside him and covered her with it. He nodded gratefully at Shen Xi. "My mother has not been so calm in a long time. Thank you."
It had been five months. His mother, who had only locked herself in a dark, airtight room and was very quiet, suddenly went crazy.
She started to go crazy. She threw things, screamed hysterically, and hurt herself. In the end, it developed into suicide.
He had no choice. Even the tranquilizer did not have much effect. If he wanted her to calm down, he could only give her sleeping pills.
However, after the sleeping pills developed antibodies in her body, their effects became less and less effective. As soon as she woke up, she would start to go berserk, as if she wanted to empty her soul, and the cycle repeated.
"I can only prescribe two doses of medicine to adjust her current state and let her take them first." Shen Xi looked at the pitiful woman on the bed and sighed in her heart.
She had always thought that a black-hearted fox like Yu Qiubai must have grown up eating plots and scheming. She did not expect him to be so miserable.
That's right, he was ostracized and targeted by his family. If he didn't practice his skills, he would have been eaten up by others long ago. Moreover, he still had a mother to take care of.
"Thank you." Yu Qiubai nodded. Looking at the straps on the bed, he wondered if he should tie her up again.
If he tied her up, his heart would ache.
If he didn't tie it up, he would be afraid.
"You keep her company. I'm leaving now." Shen Xi stood up and said goodbye.
This situation was really terrible. It was worse than what Yu Qiubai had said.
Her diagnosis must have been what many doctors had told Yu Qiubai. It was a knot in her heart. However, she was already in such a state. She was delirious and muddle-headed. She couldn't even recognize her own son. How could they expect her to talk about it?
How cruel and terrifying was the knot in her heart to be able to make her keep silent and force her to be in this state?
"I'll walk you out." After Yu Qiubai finished speaking, he pressed the call system beside the bed and said, "Aunt Wang, please come up."
Soon.
The door was pushed open again. A middle-aged woman walked in. When she saw Shen Xi, she nodded politely before looking at Yu Qiubai. "Young Masters."
"Take care of Mom." After Yu Qiubai finished speaking, he followed Shen Xi and left.
The prescription was simple. Shen Xi wrote it out and handed it to Yu Qiubai. She looked at him and said, "If you want your mother to recover, find out why she became like this. I can only treat people, not their hearts."
"Okay," Yu Qiubai replied and walked her out.
The weather in April was warm and the flowers were in full bloom. The winter jasmine flowers in the courtyard were in full bloom and the air was filled with a light fragrance.
The afternoon sun was very good. It was warm when it shone on the body.
From the corner of her eye, Shen Xi glanced at the tightly covered house behind her. She looked at Yu Qiubai and said, "Go back and take care of your mother. You don't have to walk me out."
The middle-aged man beside the car at the door had already opened the door and was standing guard. He was Yu Qiubai's housekeeper, Uncle Wang.
"Uncle Wang, be careful on the road," Yu Qiubai said as he watched her get into the car.
The car left quickly. He stood at the door and stared at the empty road for a long time. His gaze was deep and complicated.
He couldn't tell her, could he? If he told her about the only clue he had about his mother, wouldn't all his efforts go to waste in an instant?
She knew Li Yuen. If he guessed correctly, the Toffeecito's Dad that the international class was talking about was him.
If she knew that his mother was related to the Diwu family that had persecuted Li Yuen, that person would not let his mother off.
That person had always been ruthless when it came to doing things.
Shen Xi had a feeling that Yu Qiubai was hiding something from her. However, on second thought, she felt that it was impossible. He was such a filial son. He wouldn't let go of this opportunity to save his mother's life and choose to hide it from her!

On the 12th of April, the official recording of "National Idol" began.
The international class was bustling as if it was the New Year. They gathered together and whispered to each other. They held their phones and were overjoyed.
"Sister Xi, Sister Xi, look at the group chat. Sister Song sent a photo of the dormitory. The environment is quite good." Chu Ying ran over to Shen Xi and showed it to her.
Shen Xi glanced at the photo. How could the filming location not be good? It was the Thousand Island Castle in T City. The dormitory was also meticulously designed and decorated.
As the mysterious mentor of the show, she would not be there this week. She would only make an official appearance during the qualifying competition next week.
However, it would be soon.
Song Wenye was not happy. Her curses exploded in the group chat. She was assigned to the same dormitory as Su Ruowan. She was unusually manic and sent text bubbles in the group chat with cursing emojis.
Shen Xi finally took out her phone and looked at the group chat. It was about to flood the screen.
Song Wenye quickly sent another photo.
Shen Xi clicked on the photo and zoomed in. She saw Su Ruowan's name on the bedside. When she glanced at it, her attention was attracted by the name of the person next to her.
He Lu!
Wasn't this the name of the campus belle of Shen Feng High School? Was it the same name? Or was it really her? The entertainment industry seemed to be a good place. Everyone wanted to squeeze in.
