   Sang Jiu sat cross-legged by the entrance, clutching a 1.5-Liter bottle of soda. She'd been staring blankly at the gilded characters "Happy Mental Hospital" above the gate for half an hour. After taking a sip of her soda, she smacked her lips and sighed for the twenty-third time that day. The nurse beside her tried to persuade her for ages, but to no avail. "Grandma, it's going to rain, hurry up and go inside!" Sang Jiu finally stood up, dusted herself off, capped the soda bottle, and slipped on her slippers, walking through the door. The nurse breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed. As soon as Sang Jiu entered the hall, a large figure pounced on her. She was knocked to the ground, numb, truly numb; she didn't want to get up. "Uncle, you're finally back! Did you defeat the dragon and rescue the princess? Where is the princess?" The figure's voice was so pleasant, and he was so handsome. Yet, he was clearly mentally unstable—no insults, just plain mentally unstable! Sang Jiu burst into tears, "Uncle is suffering, but he won't say a word!" The little nurse was even more miserable. She had tried everything to keep these two troublemakers from meeting, and now look what happened! Who let Chu Wenye out?!
