What It’s Like Being a Vampire

　　 Xiang Dad occasionally drinks a few glasses, but because of the average amount of alcohol, he is basically very restrained, and stops every time he drinks half a cup. But tonight was obviously a little happy, and Xiang Kun made a few dishes that suit his appetite, so he drank a bit more, which would seem to be squinting, blushing, and a little drunk.

　　 It’s good to drink drunk to dad. Most of the time, I go to bed.

　　 But tonight he was not enough to sleep, on the contrary, he was very talkative. He talked to Xiang Kun a lot about his early years, all kinds of "thinking back then", "at that time", and "I remember" the beginning. Then I talked about the international situation, economic policies, housing prices, the stock market, and Xiang Kun's work.

"Actually, if you don’t have a good time in a big city, feel too stressful, and don’t see great opportunities for development, in fact... you don’t have to stay in the big city. Come back, you can also come back. Yes. Although your parents are not very capable, they can take care of them more or less locally. Moreover, we both have pensions and medical insurance, and they will not burden you. We are now The development is also very fast. Look at the shopping malls, buildings, and shopping centers that are built one after another. The roads are built and wider, and the houses are getting more and more beautiful. Education, medical care, and public security are getting better and better. Living in Erythrina is also good, the pressure is not that great..." said Xiang Da in a sigh.

　　 Hearing this, Xiang's mother also whispered: "And Xiaoxia is also working in Erythrina."

　　 Xiangkun touched her nose, mom is now saying "Xiaoxia"? This misunderstanding is a bit deep...

However, Dad Xiang didn’t get a crooked rhythm, and continued: “Of course, the choice still depends on your own judgment. I heard from Xiao Li from our unit before that you do... do the procedures, the main thing in China is that Several first-tier cities have more promising development prospects. Our hometown has relatively no environment, and the upper limit of future development may be lower."

　　 Xiang Ma couldn't help but reminded her in a low voice: "It's late, you should go make a supper for Xiaoxia, count the time, Xiaoxia should be hungry..."

　　 glared at Dad, but opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He could only watch TV with arms crossed on his chest.

Xiang Kun smiled and said: "Don't worry, Dad, after the Spring Festival, my work will be adjusted a bit. I will work on new projects in partnership with others. Maybe I will leave the city where I live. Of course, you can rest assured, I Remember what you taught me before, do not just think about success, but also consider failure. I will weigh my own weight and will not make a desperate move." He did not tell his parents that he was "unemployed" in the project infrastructure in Tongshi Town. Before the completion, they will not disclose it, lest parents think too much. He just needs to reassure his parents. Of course, some preparations must be done first.

　　 nodded to dad: "Anyway, you can do as you intend. Remember that whenever you choose, your mother and I will be your strong backing. No matter what you choose, we will support you."

　　 Xiang Kun nodded.

But Xiang Ma couldn't help it anymore, seemingly muttering to herself: "Xiao Xia doesn't know what to eat at night. The hospital cafeteria should also be closed. There is probably no place to eat outside. Will she not eat dinner? Have you been hungry? Or just simply eat a piece of bread and instant noodles? Alas, the night of New Year’s Eve is really distressing..."

　　 Xiangkun couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, Mom, I will do it now, and I will send it to Xiaoxia when I am done." Looking at the time, it is indeed almost the same.

　　 smiled at mom immediately: "Do you want mom to help you?"

　　 "No need, the ingredients are ready, soon." Xiang Kun said, got up and walked to the kitchen.

　　 When the hot pot started, he heard his mother complaining about his father in the living room: "Oh, Lao Xiang, you don't want to talk about the distractions with your son now."

　　 "Is there nothing? My son and I are talking about business..."

"Fart's business, from childhood to adulthood, from choosing a high school, to dividing liberal arts and sciences, to applying for a university, to finding a job, to buying a house, isn't it all his own decision? You are worrying about it. What is the key and most important thing? Are you still confused?"

　　 was silent for a long time to dad, and then he actually agreed: "It makes sense, you can start a family and start a business, you can start a family first. Once the year is over, 30 years old, it is time to solve the big problem first."

"So! Now you have to kick his **** vigorously to make him work harder. I used to think he was focused on his work, and he wanted to find his wife after he wanted to be successful, in case he hasn't been famous. No, when will I be able to hold my grandson? So I always try to help him arrange a blind date, but now I look at Xiao Xia... Hey, our son, no matter what, he has a good idea! Now just let him hurry up. ! Don't talk to him and distract him!" Xiang Ma asked in a low voice very seriously.

　　 also lowered his voice to dad and replied: "Coconut silk, sell lamps!"

　　 "Sell you, don’t speak English if you don’t speak English! Talking human!"

　　 Xiang Kun in the kitchen can only smile silently, handling and cooking the ingredients swiftly, and he is almost done by the early ten o'clock.

　　 "Mom, Dad, I'm out now." Xiang Kun carried the two large insulated food containers that his mother had specially prepared today, and said goodbye to the old man.

　　 "Go, go, be careful on the way, don't overturn the food." Waved to mom.

　　 Xiang Dad’s red face was full of smiles because of drinking, and he nodded slowly: "Go, go, come on, let's go."

　　 At this time, there are naturally no buses, and the buses are not easy to take. Of course, if Xiang Kun can run with all his strength and make super short cuts, it will not take long to reach the third hospital where Lao Xia works, but that is a bit exaggerated, and it is easy to be photographed by surveillance on the road and detect abnormalities.

　　 So he went to the hospital and rode his mother’s electric car, but this electric car obviously has not withstood such a heavy weight. It creaked all the way and looked very hard.

When I arrived at the third hospital, I told the security guard at the door to look for Xia Libing. After confirming the call, Xiang Kun gave him a pack of cigarette plugs that he had prepared before, saying, "Happy New Year." Then he stopped the electric car. , Carrying a food box into the hospital.

　　 Lao Xia told Xiang Kun beforehand that there are many closed wards in their hospital, and outsiders cannot enter. Even if the family members of the patients come to visit, there are very strict regulations. Especially in critically ill areas, the management is very strict.

　　 So after receiving Xiang Kun's call, Lao Xia came over and took him directly to the reception room of the general office building.

　　 Although it is New Year's Eve, there are actually a lot of doctors and nurses on duty in the hospital, but the hospital is too big, and when I walked into the lobby, it looked a bit gloomy before the sensor light turned on.

　　 Of course, neither the bald-headed Xiang Kun carrying the two food boxes nor the Mawei Xia Libing in a white coat, felt a little scared. The two were discussing the food Xiang Kun had brought.

"My mother brought some seafood here in the afternoon. There were big lobsters. I also made them last Christmas, but you were not there and you didn’t taste it. Now try to see how it tastes. I added garlic fans, and It should be okay to get a little fish meat together. The fish is also a good fish, Eastern Star Spot."

　　 "Are there any pork knuckles?" Xia Libing asked.

"Don't you just eat it at noon... Crispy pork knuckle will be eaten after it is out of the pot, and it will taste worse than one or two in an insulated food box. It is not perfect. I also stewed pork knuckle in the evening, but I don’t think that tastes good if you eat it with seafood fans. By the way, what did you eat for dinner, are you hungry?"

　　 "Fried noodles, hungry."

Entering the reception room, Xiang Kun put the dishes he brought on the table likewise. He was about to take out the chopsticks and soup spoon he brought from home, only to find that Xia Libing had hung the white coat he took off on the clothes hanger. Turning around, he took out a long box from the pocket of his lab coat. It was the box he gave the old summer chopsticks.

　　 Xia Libing glanced at Xiang Kun and found that he had not set a bowl for himself, and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

　　 "I have eaten at home. I ate a lot in the evening, and I ate a lot. I brought them all for you." Xiang Kun said.

　　 But Xia Libing shook his head: "You must not eat much." After a slight pause, he said: "Did you start to like cooking because you can't eat too much?"

　　 Xiang Kun was taken aback, this is a bit mysterious.

　　 But during this period, he has also received a lot of straight shots from Lao Xia, so he is still very calm.

　　 Sure enough, after Lao Xia finished asking, she didn't mean to get an answer from Xiang Kun, so she started to eat the chopsticks that Xiang Kun gave her.

　　 Watching Lao Xia eating and eating hot seafood fans, Xiang Kun can feel her strong appetite through her pair of chopsticks, as well as a trace of anxiety and eagerness caused by it.

　　 Obviously, this pair of chopsticks, which used the emotion of the little fat girl as an "emotional injection" type when eating, successfully got on Lao Xia's emotion channel.

　　 Even though he had determined through his own observations that Lao Xia would have more obvious mood swings than usual when eating what she likes, but other emotional injection items before, could not directly feel Lao Xia's emotions.

And now through this pair of chopsticks, not only can I feel emotions when Lao Xia eats, but at other times, as long as Lao Xia is within the range of chopsticks' perception, Xiang Kun can perceive the kind of emotional non-emotional, extremely indifferent reason. ——That is Lao Xia's normal state.

　　 This extremely sane and sober feeling is like a reset button, which can help him clear up various other emotions when he perceives it.

Xiang Kun believes that if he is in the blood-drinking period, but cannot find the source of blood for a while, he can suppress the anxiety and avoid some uncontrollable behaviors directly by sensing the pair of chopsticks and relying on the extremely rational feeling. , Can also rely on this sense of reason to clear the backlash of the night with abilities such as "mental shock".

　　 Of course, the premise is that Lao Xia keeps the chopsticks with her, and she is not eating when she feels it.

　　 Otherwise... Xiang Kun sensed that Lao Xia was eating when he was drinking blood and hunger.

　　 Seeing that Lao Xia had almost finished eating the seafood fans, Xiang Kun quickly squeezed the lunch box and pulled it back: "Hey, eat slowly. There are other dishes. Try the other dishes."

　　 Xia Libing pulled the lunch box back again, and then stretched out his chopsticks to clamp a few other dishes. In fact, Xiang Kun's original plan at night was not to cook these dishes, but because his mother suddenly brought these ingredients over, he focused his energy on the seafood fan. Now it seems that energy is really not wasted, Lao Xia obviously eats very happily.

　　 "How about, is this delicious, or pork knuckle?" Xiang Kun asked.

　　 "Pig knuckle." Xia Libing didn't hesitate.

Xiang Kun smiled and nodded: "Next time I invite you... Oh no, next time you invite me to dinner, I will cook it for you. I remember before I invited you to dinner with Nana and Zhen'er for the first time, I used WeChat to ask a few of you about the taste and three favorite dishes. Your answer is: crispy pork knuckle, smoked goose and Napoleon cake. Is it because I have eaten it somewhere before, so I am particularly impressed?"

　　 "Yes." Xia Libing chewed the egg yolk spring rolls in his mouth, and responded simply.

　　 Okay, it means that she is not going to expand in detail in this direction, so Xiang Kun changed her angle again: "You came to Erythrina and came to this hospital. Is there any special reason?"

Before Lao Xia arrived, when they were playing together, Yang Zhen'er and Nana asked similar questions. She didn't give any reasons at the time. Yang Zhen'er and Nana could only guess that it was because of the deputy. The dean is because of her third aunt. But with Lao Xia's academic qualifications, school grades, and resume, it shouldn't be a big problem to enter the relevant department of a big hospital in the city where she was originally located, or a better psychiatric hospital. Normally, for the sake of her own career development, she shouldn't have traveled all the way here.

If it was before, Xiang Kun would not ask this question, because he knew it would be for nothing, but recently Lao Xia has made "straight shots" frequently. He feels that Lao Xia's attitude towards him and his observation strategy should be different from before. Now maybe he can. Get different answers.

Lao Xia put a piece of lobster meat into her mouth, squinted her eyes and chewed for a few times, took a sip of the mushroom soup next to her, and spit out a sigh of heat before she said, "Because the third aunt is the deputy dean. There are many special cases."

　　 Xiangkun immediately understood what she meant, because the third aunt was the vice-president and knew her ability better, so the authority she could get here might be higher than in other hospitals.

　　 "For example...what kind of special case? Oh, if it is inconvenient to say, you don't need to say it." Xiang Kun continued to ask.

　　 Xia Libing looked at him for a while and briefly introduced the characteristics of a few cases. Of course, she had hidden information including gender, occupation, and name that could be associated with the patient's true identity.

Some patients with delusions feel that they are cultivating, and they can live without eating and breathing the essence of heaven and earth. Even if the body is unable to hold it, they will starve to death without eating, but if you tell him that bun is a practice He will eat the elixir that he comes out;

　　 There are some patients who feel that they have superpowers and can hear other people’s voices. Even if others tell him it is wrong, he only thinks that they are lying to him;

　　There are some patients who think that they are the patrons of flames and love flames, even if their predecessors have been burned extensively, they still believe that flames can heal themselves and take away the pain;

　　 There are some patients who think they are some kind of beasts, they always take off their clothes and run into the mountains;

　　 There are some patients who feel that they are noble vampires who only drink blood and are afraid of the sun, but in fact, as long as they give him red drinks and more ketchup in his rice, he can eat them;

　　 There are some patients who look like monsters to everyone. The world in their eyes is completely different from normal people’s perceptions, and they are always in fear;

Some patients feel that they are geniuses who can remember and answer all kinds of questions, but in fact, the content they memorized is completely different from the original content, and the way to solve the problem is completely messy, but they believe in themselves. What was said was correct, it was other people who were tampering with reality to deceive him and strangling him.

　　 Some of these patients were sent for treatment by themselves or their family members, while others were forced to be treated by authorities after committing serious criminal offences.

When hearing the case of "vampire", Xiang Kun subconsciously glanced at the window of the reception room, from where he could see the critically ill area of ​​the hospital, but because there were too many buildings there, even if there was a "vampire" "Or "mutant creatures" are inside, and his "infrared thermal imaging visual mode" can't see through it all, so it's not sure whether there is really a "vampire" there.

　　 Of course, according to Lao Xia's description, the case is likely to be an ordinary mental patient, not a "vampire."

　　 But ~www.novelmtl.com~ I'd better check it later.

　　 Xiang Kun retracted his gaze and saw Lao Xia staring at him. He knew that when he was talking about the cases, Lao Xia had been observing his changes, but he didn't care.

　　 "Why did you choose psychology and mental illness in the first place?" Xiang Kun asked again.

　　 "Take a doctor to yourself." Lao Xia said.

　　 Xiang Kun immediately asked: "Are you sick?"

　　 Lao Xia replied: "You too."

　　 Xiang Kun was taken aback, and then smiled: "All of us are patients." This sentence was said by Lao Xia when he went to Lao Xia's house for dinner on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

　　 Lao Xia nodded: "Yes, all of us are patients, but we have different diseases and different degrees, hiccups~"

　　 These words sounded quite compelling at first glance, but Lao Xia hiccuped as soon as he finished speaking, destroying the compelling words.

　　 Seeing that Lao Xia was still about to continue eating, Xiang Kun quickly said: "After a break, I will put the incubator here. If you are hungry later, you will continue to eat. Don't eat all at once. You eat too fast."

　　 Xia Libing thought for a while, picked up the last piece of lobster meat and ate it, then picked up the food container to clean the rest of the fans, wiped his mouth, and packed the food container. The remaining unfinished dishes are put in a large food box, and the other food box is put in another food box, which is taken back to Xiang Kun.
