Chapter 795: Chapter 785: Su Qing: I’m Really Not Sick
Tired, extremely tired, and sleepy, especially sleepy.
After Su Qing and Tang Nan parted ways, Su Qing returned to the capital alone without even informing Shen Yi. He went straight back to his place and then slept like the dead.
He didn’t even know when Shen Yi came back. The next day was the same. For two whole days, Su Qing was in a state of perpetual sleepiness, with very low energy.
Every day, aside from eating, drinking, and using the bathroom, he didn’t even want to leave the house, acting like a pampered lady who never stepped out.
As for the issues online, they had fully escalated over the past two days, with overwhelming coverage on the internet, involving almost every industry’s bloggers reporting on it.
It was the recent half month’s hottest topic. Live streaming wasn’t new anymore—everyone from various industries was doing it—but a live stream of someone’s passing was unprecedented.
This made the incident’s impact surge rapidly. Shen Yi had already enlisted people from Tang Nan’s studio to manage the situation online. After all, compared to others, the folks from Tang Nan’s studio were more professional. In just two short days, most of the negative news online was suppressed, leaving only a few with hidden agendas or those intentionally opposing.
And their attacks were directed at only two points: First, the image of Fang Junhai smoking during the live broadcast. Some people considered it immoral and a bad influence on minors, especially since he was a multi-million follower blogger with thousands watching, which has a significant impact.
Second, some launched conspiracy theories, saying he was exploiting a dying man to hype himself, feeding on a blood-soaked bun, morally bankrupt, regardless of how Su Qing had stated during the live that the money from gifts would go to Fang Junhai’s family.
There’s a saying that goes well: Those who wrong you know how wrong you are even more than you do.
What they wanted wasn’t justice but to fulfill their need to feel superior, standing on a moral high ground, criticizing others to elevate themselves, while simultaneously reaping the traffic.
When Shen Yi came back and saw him like this, she thought it was because he was stimulated again, so she neither asked nor mentioned it at night, only reminding him to eat well.
But this situation was interrupted two days later, mainly because Su Qing continued to act lethargic for two straight days. She couldn’t rest assured, as a short period was fine, but she hadn’t heard of anyone who needed to sleep for so long.
So Su Qing was forcibly taken to the hospital. After a thorough physical checkup, everything turned out normal. Then he was sent to the psychiatric department to talk to a psychological counselor.
Indeed, not only did Shen Yi think his issues were psychological, but even the hospital suggested he see a psychologist for guidance.
After all, when someone’s physically fine but keeps sleeping like that, it looks very much like exhaustion from mental strain, leading to fatigue, hence resulting in drowsiness. It’s quite reasonable.
"Doctor, I’m not sick, nothing’s wrong with my mind!"
In the psychiatric room of the capital hospital sat a woman in her thirties in front of Su Qing. She wore a white lab coat and was reasonably attractive, exuding maturity.
"I know, don’t worry, no one said you have a mental problem, we’re just here for a casual chat!" The female doctor poured him a glass of water and smiled. Her voice was pleasant, and her manner casual, as if she truly wanted a casual chat.
Yet Su Qing’s eyes revealed a trace of helplessness, because a running commentary had already started in his mind.
[No one drunk will admit to being drunk; similarly, someone with a mental illness won’t admit they have issues. Your words mean nothing to a doctor; they only trust their judgment.]
Su Qing: ...
It’s true that a normal person goes into a mental hospital and can’t prove they’re normal? Isn’t this a bit too rash?
He didn’t want to come here at all, but there was no helping it. Shen Yi wouldn’t budge, especially after seeing the worried look in her eyes, leaving him no choice but to follow her.
But interestingly, these past two days, he did feel excessively sleepy, always feeling like he couldn’t get enough sleep.
It’s not even about being tired; it’s just that as soon as he lay down, he wanted to sleep, and the sleepiness came quickly, leading to more and more drowsiness the longer he slept.
"Su Qing...I know you. You’re a short video blogger, right? A public figure. The news online these days hasn’t been kind to you. Is it making you anxious?" The female doctor poured him another glass of water and asked with a smile.
At this, Su Qing’s expression fell: "Doctor, I’m actually fine, really nothing serious. I’m aware of the online chatter, but it doesn’t bother me that much. After all, in our line of work, who doesn’t get criticized?"
"Oh, don’t try to sound noble. I’m a doctor, trust me, I have professional ethics. Just say what’s on your mind. I won’t let it out. You need to face your condition, or you might end up depressed!"
Su Qing: ...
So, I **have** to be ill, right? Normal people aren’t even allowed in here?
But thinking from her perspective isn’t unreasonable. Considering how big the online heat around this matter is, it’s hard not to know. Moreover, Shen Yi specifically briefed the doctor beforehand fearing he wouldn’t tell the truth, leaving him passive.
An hour later, Su Qing and Shen Yi left the hospital. In the car, Su Qing pulled out the report in his hand and said, "See, I told you I’m fine, right?"
Hearing this, Shen Yi glanced at the report in her hand, which indeed showed normal results. Releasing a sigh of relief, she couldn’t help but frown.
"Since nothing’s wrong, how come this time it was so severe? You’ve slept for more than two days. Don’t tell me you didn’t sleep that night and were just exhausted from the trip. I’m not stupid." Shen Yi shot him an intense look.
Sleeping too much can be quite terrifying, especially since Shen Yi had seen Su Qing’s demeanor when he was impacted before; it would be strange not to be worried now.
"Maybe it’s just poor rest. Really, I’m fine!" Su Qing yawned and his eyes filled with sleepiness again.
Despite saying that, he sensed something was off. Could it be the intense stress? Or maybe the commentary aftereffects?
As for stress, although he felt uneasy regarding the issue a couple of days ago, he didn’t think he was affected, or at least not as much emotionally as other events before, just feeling some melancholy.
But, considering commentary aftereffects, it’s been nearly a year; could they still have this kind of delayed impact? That long of a reflex arc?
"Oh please, I heard from little Tang that a primary school classmate gifted you something. You found out the secret in it after all these years, and he even passed away. Does it feel regretful?" Shen Yi leaned over, staring at him as she spoke.
Their faces were almost touching. Luckily, they were in a romantic relationship, so this level of closeness no longer embarrassed him as it would initially. At least not from Shen Yi.
"You believe what that big mouth of Tang Nan says? You think I’m struck by that? Can’t be, right?" Su Qing rolled his eyes.
He had grown accustomed to Tang Nan being offbeat, saying whatever came to her mind. Luckily, Shen Yi treated him like a patient; otherwise, he would’ve been in for a rough time.
Seems he needs to be more cautious going forward, can’t discuss everything with her, lest she snitches.
"But you can’t keep sleeping like this; you might develop issues!" Shen Yi said worriedly.
To this, Su Qing quickly spoke kindly: "Sis, I’m a guy. The only illness I know that comes from sleeping is kidney deficiency. How could there be any other problems?"
Shen Yi: ...
