lost by your side

Chapter 5

What Yuan Tian didn't expect was that he actually had the same dream for a week in a row.The feeling in the dream was really bad. After a week, Yuan Tian's body couldn't take it anymore. Xiao Bai would complain non-stop at first, but in the end he didn't even have the energy to complain.

When going to work in the morning, Yuan Tian couldn't help but opened his mouth and yawned in the elevator.After seeing it, Chen Nian asked, "Why do you feel like you haven't had a good rest recently?"

Yuan Tian said: "I have been dreaming about fires for a week, and there are fires everywhere."

After speaking, everyone in the elevator turned to look at him.Then a female colleague whispered something in another female colleague's ear, and the two burst out laughing.Yuan Tian saw that other people in the elevator also began to laugh, and even Chen Nian was laughing at the end.He asked Chen Nian: "What's wrong?"

The elevator doors opened.Chen Nian dragged him out of the elevator, while the others continued in the elevator.Chen Nian asked: "Did you just dream about fire? Did you experience... abnormalities after the dream?"

"abnormal?"

Chen Nian continued to hold back his laughter and said, "It's just... There is a saying in some places that if you dream of fire in your dreams, you will easily wet the bed."

Yuan Tian was dumbfounded when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I don't have it, I really don't!"

Chen Nian said: "Isn't there? Ah, it's also possible. After all, you are an adult, so you have much stronger control than a child. However, it's not an option for you to go on like this. Is there something uncomfortable about your body, or At the beginning, the work pressure was too great, so I was a little anxious? Why don't you go to the hospital to have a look."

Yuan Tian thought, if you keep having this kind of dream, it will really affect your life, and there is no loss in going to see a doctor.

Yuan Tian took an afternoon off and rushed to the hospital to be admitted to the neurology department.He described his experience to the doctor. The doctor frowned and listened for a while, and said, "I can't see the reason from your medical records. I think your problem may be more like a mental problem? What's wrong with fire before?" memory?"

Yuan Tian said firmly: "Never. I used to cook with liquefied petroleum gas stoves when I was at home, but the place where I live only has electricity..."

"Then let's do some tests and have a look." The doctor said and filled out a form for Yuan Tian and stamped it.

After Yuan Tian paid the examination fee, the doctor led Yuan Tian to another room and said to the nurse inside, "Give him an EEG routine."

The nurse let Yuan Tian lie on the bed, and skillfully put some patches on his head.Yuan Tian waited for a while, and the nurse seemed to mutter something confused, and then put on the patch again, but it still seemed unsuccessful.The doctor came later, and the two of them started checking the machine together, but it still didn't seem to work.The doctor suddenly said to the nurse: "You try it on me?"

The doctor asked Yuan Tian to leave the bed, and then he lay down on himself.The nurse replaced the patches on the doctor's head, and suddenly said in fear, "The machine is normal, which means..." Then she secretly looked at Yuan Tian with a strange look.

Yuan Tian hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with me?"

The doctor just said: "It is recommended that you be hospitalized for a more comprehensive and detailed examination."

Yuan Tian was frightened immediately, and asked, "What? Is it serious?"

"Sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you an accurate answer until the detailed examination results come out. It's okay if you don't want to be hospitalized today, but it's best to leave your contact information with us."

In the end, Yuan Tian only left the doctor a phone number and left the hospital.He sat down in a coffee shop and asked Xiaobai, "Did you do anything during my examination?"

Xiaobai said: "What actions can I make... You can hear it too. I really didn't say anything or think about anything."

The phone rang, it was Zhao Yuxin.

"Chen Nian told me about you, how did the inspection go?"

Yuan Tian sighed.

"...No way, it's just a dream, is it so serious?"

"The doctor advised me to be hospitalized for a more detailed examination."

"Then you have to listen to the doctor!"

"But... I finally got close to him... I don't want to be hospitalized."

"It's not up to you to think about it, is it?"

"……Well."

"Are you going to tell Chen Nian about your hospitalization?"

"Tell him first that I have something to do in my hometown and I'm back home. So far he just thinks that I'm under too much pressure from work. Don't let him worry about it. The company asks for a leave of absence for me."

The next day, Yuan Tian reported to the previous doctor with a large package.The doctor and nurse looked behind him and asked, "Are you alone? Are your relatives and friends not here?"

"None of my relatives live here. I am in good health and can take care of myself, and I don't need help from friends."

The doctor shook his head, but still said to the nurse, "Take him to the inpatient department"

However, Yuan Tian soon realized that something was wrong—the nurse gave him a psychiatric ward.

Yuan Tian hurriedly grabbed the nurse and said, "Miss, I'm not mentally ill!"

"I'm sorry, I'm not a doctor. Please follow the doctor's arrangement. I will have a detailed examination tomorrow morning, and please don't eat too much after tonight." After speaking, the nurse broke away from Yuan Tian and left.

Yuan Tian sat weakly on the hospital bed, but heard some noises on the bed next to him.He walked over in fear, and found a man in a hospital gown sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, his fingers crossed to his lips like a girl making a wish.Suddenly, the man suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuan Tian with wide eyes.

Yuan Tian was taken aback and stepped back in a hurry.The man stared at Yuan Tian for a while, but suddenly said: "Want to go out together?"

Although Yuan Tian was very scared, when he thought about living with this man in the future, it would be better to get along well.He nodded.

The man led Yuan Tian to avoid the nurse's sight, and the two ran all the way downstairs to a garden.The man first dug up soil in a part of the garden like a dog. After digging for a while, Yuan Tian saw that he dug out a bowl.Fortunately, the bowl had a pattern of cartoon cats, so Yuan Tian firmly believed that this bowl was definitely not an antique.The man took his bowl and led Yuan Tian to another corner of the garden.Yuan Tian saw that there were dozens of stray cats in that corner.

The man took out a handful of cat food from the hospital gown as if by magic, put it into the bowl, and put it near the mouth of one of the female cats.When Yuan Tian saw the female cat's belly, he knew that she must be pregnant.The man looked at the female cat, and suddenly asked Yuan Tian, ​​"Why didn't you congratulate me?"

"what?"

"Seeing that my wife is pregnant, don't you say congratulations to me?"

Yuan Tian pointed to the female cat and asked: "The wife you are talking about, could it be..."

The man nodded.

Before Yuan Tian could speak, Yuan Tian heard Xiaobai say: "Wow, no... It seems that this guy is a real mental patient..."

"You think so too, right? Sigh, I can't even look down on a hamster." Although Yuan Tian thought so in his heart, he still said: "Well, congratulations, you will soon be--'Dad'... ..."

The man took out another bag of cat food from another pocket of the hospital gown and said, "Help me deliver it to my mother-in-law's relatives."

As soon as Yuan Tian took the cat food, the rest of the cats came to his feet.Yuan Tian distributed the cat food to those cats equally. Seeing how cute they were eating, he couldn't help picking up one and petting it.And the cat he was holding was obediently rubbing its head against his palm.

Yuan Tian suddenly thought of something and stood up in surprise.The man continued to sit calmly.

"Xiaobai, last time you reacted so violently because you were afraid of fire, but..." Yuan Tian asked, "Why aren't you afraid of cats?"
