Following Dr. John all the way into the inpatient area, Gu Nianxi looked around curiously. It was much quieter than she thought, and it was quite different from the mental hospital she thought.
"This way please."
"good."
dr John led Gu Nianxi to the third floor. As he walked, he turned back and explained some matters to her. Gu Nianxi listened very carefully, fearing that she would miss the key points and cause trouble. When she walked to the corner of the corridor on the third floor, Dr John stopped.
Footsteps, he said to Gu Nianxi in a calm tone.
"Don't worry, all the patients in this building have mild symptoms and are not violent. Today we are going to see a girl. She is sixteen years old. She is a girl who has always believed that she is a bird. She jumped from the eighth floor six months ago.
She broke her leg in a fall, and then her family sent her here. You meet her, talk to her, see what you find, and give you a problem to see if she can be discharged."
"Okay." Gu Nianxi nodded seriously.
After hearing Dr. John’s general introduction, Gu Nianxi couldn’t wait to see the girl. They came to the end of the corridor, and Dr. John led her into a door. As soon as Gu Nianxi entered, she saw a girl in a wheelchair sitting at the table with her back to them.
In front of her, there was a nurse standing next to her.
"Hi, how's Anne doing lately?"
dr john greeted the girl in a very relaxed tone, and the girl raised her head and smiled back.
"Very good, I think I will be discharged from the hospital soon."
The girl's tone was lively and her expression was rich. There was no problem at all. She looked at Gu Nianxi and asked her curiously.
"Are you Japanese?"
"no."
"That's...Chinese?"
"right."
"Oh, China is a cool country. Do you know Kung Fu?"
"No, not every Chinese knows Chinese Kung Fu."
Gu Nianxi chatted with her for a few words, and her first impression of the girl was that she was talkative.
"This is Dr Gu, you can talk to her." Dr John introduced them to each other and walked out of the door with the nurse.
Gu Nianxi sat opposite the girl and put the record folder on the table. She smiled and praised her, "Your skirt is very nice."
"Oh, thank you. I think I will be discharged from the hospital soon, so I asked my mother to buy me this skirt. How about this skirt? The polka dot pattern will never go out of style, right?"
Fifteen minutes passed, and the girl talked a lot, but didn't mention anything about Fei, which made Gu Nianxi a little doubtful whether she really recovered.
"What do you want to do after you leave the hospital? Go to school? Or do something else?"
This question seems very simple, but for people with mental problems, it is impossible to think that it is that far.
The girl blinked her big eyes and suddenly stood up and came towards Gu Nianxi. She looked at the door behind her and said to Gu Nianxi mysteriously: "I'll tell you secretly, my feathers haven't grown yet. I will when they grow."
Can fly over the Golden Gate Bridge.”
"..."
Gu Nianxi paused with the pen in her hand and raised her eyes to look at her. The girl was a little nervous when she saw her, so she quickly smiled and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
"Can you tell me how you fly??"
When the girl saw that someone was interested in what she said, she became excited. She dragged her chair towards the table and lay down on the table.
"Let me tell you, I actually grew a pair of wings before, right here." She touched her shoulder blades and showed them to Gu Nianxi.
"When did it grow?" Gu Nianxi followed her words and asked,
"Well..." the girl looked at the ceiling and recalled, "When I was eight years old, one day I suddenly felt a little itchy here. I scratched it for a few days and found a protrusion here. Then it hurt so much that it didn't hurt until a month later.
My wings have just grown out of my skin, and to be honest, the feeling is uncomfortable and the pain is heart-wrenching."
"Then are you scared?"
"No, I'm not afraid. I think I came to this world with some mission."
"Come to the human world? Then where do you think you come from?"
"Me? Of course I'm from heaven, because I'm an angel."
Gu Nianxi suddenly realized that she had imagined herself to be an angel who saved mankind.
Next, the girl and Gu Nianxi talked a lot. Gu Nianxi listened quietly and wrote down the important details in the notebook.
"I often see them, you know? They are always around us. They will fold their wings and pretend to be adults. This is to hide their angelic identity. Have you ever felt like this? When you do something
When you are working at work or communicating with friends, you all suddenly become silent. Why is this happening? It is because an angel flies over your head.
Moreover, have you ever felt that when you are in the most difficult and sad times, there will always be someone who will silently help you and protect you? In fact, he is the angel who came from heaven for you, and he will wrap you with his wings.
, to protect you from harm.”
After listening to the girl's remarks, Gu Nianxi remained rational, but she secretly thought in her heart.
Who is the angel who came for her? Is he protecting her silently?
The girl spoke very quickly, and it was obvious that she was excited to talk about this topic. She told Gu Nianxi many examples of angels existing in the human world.
"In this world, there are angels and demons. Demons usually like to disguise themselves as successful people. They have excellent appearance, like to wear dark clothes, and like to pretend to be affable and charming people. They do this for
Defrauding the trust of the target to achieve one's own goals. By the way, demons come from hell with a purpose. They are looking for their enemies or looking for their brides."
"The Devil's Bride..."
Gu Nianxi murmured, and the girl's brown pupils seemed to suck her in for an instant. She fell into confusion and stared into her eyes distractedly.
Suddenly, a person's face appeared in her mind.
He was considered successful, he liked to wear black clothes, and he pretended to be gentle in front of her, but he said that some demons don't need a bride.
"Did you remember anyone?"
The girl's question awakened Gu Nianxi, and she realized that she was almost taken in by her words, so she quickly stayed rational.
"No." Gu Nianxi replied decisively, shaking her head pretending to be calm.
Then, the girl kept trying to convince Gu Nianxi to believe what she said. After being distracted just now, Gu Nianxi began to focus on her expression.
"Then what is your mission in the world?"
"I think I'm here to protect Anna."
"anna?"
"Anna is my sister. We are twins. We have been together since birth. She likes sunflowers, red skirts, rock music, dancing, and Leonardo."
"She must be a girl as beautiful as you. Why do you want to protect her?"
This was the first time the girl was silent. She looked at Gu Nianxi steadily, her eyes losing their original luster. She lowered her head, licked her lips, and then slowly spoke after a long time.
"anna was bullied."
"..."
Gu Nianxi was startled and raised her eyes to meet her dim gaze.
"I came from heaven for her, but I didn't have time to protect her. She was bullied by the devil, and the devil took her away. She is the bride chosen by the devil."
"..." Gu Nianxi was shocked. She didn't expect to hear such a thing. She thought over and over how to ask without irritating her. She thought for a while and asked in an extremely gentle and low voice, "Would you like to
Tell me what Anna went through?"
She was silent again, twitching her fingers.
Gu Nianxi asked for her opinion because he was afraid that direct questions would repel her. If she refused, she might find another way to communicate with her.
Time passed by, and the quiet atmosphere in the room made people feel a little uncomfortable. In order to make the girl feel more relaxed, Gu Nianxi handed her her mineral water.
"Would you like some water?"
"Thank you." The girl took the water and lowered her head again. She opened and closed her lips several times without saying anything.
Gu Nianxi smiled at her and drew an important mark next to Anna's name written down in the notebook.
She looked at the time and saw that it was almost over. She closed her notebook and was about to say that that would be it for today, but she heard the girl speak.
"Anna died for me, and I am the bride chosen by the devil."
Gu Nianxi looked at her in surprise, and saw a timid light flashing in her eyes.
Afterwards, Anne told her story with Anna.
Anne and Anna are twin sisters who look very similar. Growing up, except for their parents, people would always mistake them for each other. Anne said that the only difference between her and Anna's appearance is that Anna has a mole on her ear.
Although they look similar, they have very different preferences and personalities. One likes silence, one likes movement, one likes light music, one likes rock music, one likes cool colors, and the other likes warm colors.
Apart from their looks, they have nothing in common.
Anne said that they have a very good relationship as sisters. They have been inseparable since they were young. When they were young, they often played pranks on their classmates because they looked alike, so that the classmates did not know who did the bad things or who they were complaining to the teacher about.
They love playing a game they call guess who I am.
It wasn't until one day that their parents hired a tutor for them that they realized how bad this game was.
When she was eight years old, Anne and Anna met Justin for the first time. He was a new neighbor who moved to the opposite door.
Anne said that when they first met Justin, they thought he looked like the hero from a movie. He was twenty-six years old, blond, handsome, friendly, and behaved like a gentleman. He was what she said before.
Decent person.
Justin brought waffles to their house on the first day he moved in. The two sisters were lying on the second floor window looking at the new neighbor. They kept talking about his occupation, whether he was single or married, whether he had pets, etc.
Some weird questions.
Soon after, Justin and their father got to know each other better. It turned out that his profession was a piano teacher. It happened that their father wanted to change their piano teacher, so it was natural for Justin to become their new teacher.
Every Wednesday afternoon from 4 to 5 pm, Anne takes piano lessons, and after dinner, Anna takes lessons from 7 pm.
On Wednesdays, their father would work overtime until ten o'clock before coming home, and their mother would prepare dinner at home. When class first started, everything was normal.
Anne would go to class, and Anna would study in the room. When the class was over, Justin would go home for a while, and then come back to teach Anna after dinner. Over time, they became familiar with each other, and sometimes he would stay and have dinner with them.
Soon their piano teacher gained the trust of the whole family, and their mother found a part-time job on Wednesday, so she safely entrusted the two sisters to Justin's care.
