Chapter 1 I'm Happy Don't Have to Be Normal(1/2)
After a week, Li Changzhou decided to see a doctor, and his sister accompanied him.
On September 6th, the weather was hot, and the sun stung every inch of exposed skin like needles.
When he arrived at the University Affiliated Hospital, an old professor named Zhao was in charge of receiving him.
The professor examined his body carefully and listened to his words even more carefully.
"I can't concentrate lately. I try hard to think about one thing, but countless other unrelated things come to my mind. It's like... it's like a computer screen is playing games, and the keyboard is playing games.
I'm coding, my mouse is playing Minesweeper, my headphones are listening to "Fly Higher", but I just refuse to watch online classes.
"Doctor, what's my problem?" Li Changzhou couldn't wait to know the answer.
"Your state," Dr. Zhao looked at the report in his hand, "is very similar to overindulgence."
"..."
The younger sister looked at her older brother.
"No, doctor," my brother shook his head calmly, "I don't have a girlfriend."
"I didn't say you had a girlfriend, I said you were overindulging."
Dr. Zhao put down the report.
He wore a pair of rimless glasses and had a bald head. Only a few hairs survived on a circle around his skull. He seemed to have superb medical skills and was trustworthy.
"Dark circles under eyes, trance."
Dr. Zhao continued with a serious face:
"The harm of craftsmanship is much greater than imagined. It must not be underestimated. What you should do now is not to come to me, but to find ways to adjust your life and rest."
"...Doctor, I don't think it's a problem with my daily routine."
"You are normal." Dr. Zhao interrupted him.
"I'm not normal." Li Changzhou firmly refused to accept this diagnosis.
Li Qianxia looked at her phone and said to her brother: "Brother, stop being so stubborn and listen to the doctor honestly."
Li Changzhou, who was still about to say something, bit the flesh on the right side of the inner wall of his mouth.
"Excuse me, Doctor Zhao, what kind of routine can solve my brother's current problem?" Li Qianxia asked.
"Don't smoke, and if you drink, drink less, even if it's a party. You must go to bed before 11 p.m., and make sure you get 8 hours of sleep every day."
"I understand," Li Qianxia nodded, keeping these in mind, "Thank you, Doctor Zhao."
"You're welcome, this is my job."
After the consultation, when the two siblings were about to go out, Dr. Zhao suddenly reminded him:
"By the way, it's best to drink a glass of warm milk before going to bed. It can help you sleep and is good for your body."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Li Qianxia answered on behalf of her brother again.
After leaving the hospital, the two of them walked on the way to the bus stop, the cicadas chirping in their ears like a waterfall.
"Do you want to buy anything?" Li Qianxia with ponytail asked.
How can I say that her appearance is similar to the ponytailed Shen Jiayi in "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".
She has a small face as big as a palm, fair and tender skin, and long legs. She is very powerful. She plays tennis and occasionally beats her brother.
Growing up, I don't know how many people called Li Changzhou "Uncle" and offered him pickled vegetable and meat buns, bags of milk, spicy strips, sesame balls, and the right to read the novel for the first time.
Li Qianxia didn't suffer either.
She has always been the younger sister of all the girls. Although the girls don't fawn over her like the boys fawn over Li Changzhou, it can be said that she is the most fun-loving and all the girls are willing to play with her.
Every time a new chat group appears between girls, she will never be left behind.
This shows how handsome her brother, Li Changzhou, is.
During a night study session in the summer of the second year of high school, a girl stared at Li Changzhou. It was not as simple as staring all the time, but to the point of being lost in thought.
When the teacher reminded her that the whole class was looking over, Li Changzhou's handsomeness was described more specifically through word of mouth - there was a girl who stared at him during evening self-study, watched a class, and was called out by the teacher.
Only then did he come back to his senses.
"Well -" After listening to his sister's words, Li Changzhou thought for a while, "I don't have anything to ask for, just go back."
"......Um."
"What's wrong?" Li Changzhou turned his head and looked at his sister.
The two often torture each other mercilessly, but no matter what, they are twin brothers and sisters. They grew up together and have never been separated for a day. They understand each other's thoughts very well.
A trace of hesitation flashed across Li Qianxia's handsome face.
"Nothing." she said.
Li Changzhou came closer and stared at her.
"What are you doing?" Li Qianxia pushed him away with a look of disgust.
"I have something on my mind," the brother pointed at his sister and said in a positive tone, "We are in love!"
"Is our family rich? Are we in love?" The younger sister angrily denied her brother's guess.
Money is a man's self-esteem, and it is also a woman's self-esteem - at least this is the case for Li Qianxia, who feels that she has no money and is too lazy to find a boyfriend.
In her words, the finances obtained through marriage are nothing but golden shackles.
It's not bad, but she doesn't like it.
"Not in love?" Li Changzhou pondered as he walked.
"I understand!" He showed a look of realization.
"Do you understand?" Li Qianxia stared at her brother.
"I just finished seeing a doctor. Now I can be considered half a doctor. Little girl, in your situation, you are overindulging in sexual pleasure."
"Indulgence, desire, excess." Li Qianxia gritted her teeth, word by word, and turned her hands into claws, pinching Li Changzhou's butt hard.
When her butt was attacked, Li Changzhou made a "pop" sound with his backhand and slapped her hard on the butt.
He was merciless and aimed at severing the relationship between brother and sister. The blow was so powerful that it even hurt his own hand.
"Ah - Li Changzhou! I'll kill you!"
"You were the one who made the first move!"
The two brothers and sisters were chasing after each other. On a hot day, they were sweating after just a few steps, and their bodies seemed to be on fire.
"Truce, truce." When he arrived at the bus stop, Li Changzhou panted slightly. He was tired and hot, and felt like he would turn into a lake at any time and collapse to the ground.
"I'll take care of you when I get back!" Li Qianxia pulled on her sweat-soaked collar.
She took out the mineral water bottle from her bag, raised her neck, and took a long sip.
Li Changzhou didn't have the strength to speak, so he hooked his hand at her, indicating that he wanted to do the same.
Li Qianxia handed him the water in her hand.
While he was drinking water, Li Qianxia looked around.
At ten o'clock in the morning, there was no one at the bus stop near the hospital.
The sun was dazzling, there was no wind, and the leaves of the street trees on both sides looked like paintings, motionless.
Li Qianxia turned her head and saw her brother, who had finished replenishing his fluids, looking blankly at a spot, looking a little lost in the heat.
Sweat dampened his bangs, making him want to wipe them away.
"We," she said hesitantly, "why don't we take a taxi back?"
"Huh?" Li Changzhou came back to his senses and turned his head, "Why?"
"It's too hot. I don't know when the bus will come. I want to go back early to take a shower, lie in the dormitory, use the air conditioner, and play with my mobile phone."
Li Changzhou thought about it and realized that taking a taxi was a bit more expensive, but on such a hot day, there was no need to save the money if my sister wanted to go back early.
He himself also wanted to go back early.
"Okay," Li Changzhou nodded, "Let's take a taxi."
He took out his mobile phone and opened the taxi app.
At this moment, the No. 5 bus from the 'Life Plaza' to the 'Science and Technology Park' drove over through the air distorted by the heat wave.
"Oh, here we are, good luck." Li Changzhou turned off his cell phone and put it in his pocket.
The bus stopped smoothly at the platform, and the two of them got on the bus one after the other.
"I'll swipe the bus card." Li Qianxia said.
"It's over, it's over, the sun will rise from the south tomorrow."
Li Changzhou couldn't accept that his sister, who usually tried her best to spend his money, actually took the initiative to pay the fare.
Li Qianxia glanced at Li Changzhou who was walking inside the car. Without saying anything, she took out her mobile phone and scanned the machine twice.
