My Bipolar Patient

[Not a doctor-patient relationship]

S0m1

For the sake of the mental health profession he'd devoted his life to, Xu Shanqing, head of Haishi's “The Mountain Won't Fall” Psychological Counseling Center, had kept himself pure and abstinent. For 32 years, he'd been a lone garlic clove.

He prided himself on having encoded the ability to read people into his DNA long ago. Through his titanium-alloy dog eyes, no human with a sophisticated nervous system could escape his scrutiny and observation.

He also had a truckload of romantic skills accumulated through academic research, making him a true king in the theoretical arena.

But when he met his apprentice's friend, Qiu Ruoqing, who had been diagnosed with Bipolar I Disorder and was too exhausted to even shower, he immediately surrendered to his beauty. Smoke seemed to rise from his throat as he stuttered like a skipping record: “How's your sex drive?”

Freud, hanging on the wall, immediately rolled his eyes at him.

Maybe he was the one who needed a therapist.

He wrote his email address down for Qiu Ruoqing and bluffed, “According to research by the World Health Organization, you need a pen pal.”

What kind of elementary-school-kid behavior was this?!

Qiu Ruoqing lazily raised his eyelids. “Huh? Are you an idiot?”

Xu Shanqing had met plenty of crazy people in his life, but Qiu Ruoqing meant something different to him.

Qiu Ruoqing was the only one he truly held in his heart.

He wanted him to live freely and fully, and spoiled him with a love he couldn't let go of.

When Qiu Ruoqing threw a knife at him, Xu Shanqing knew he just needed him.

He would surely become a stronger person.

Only then would he have the strength to love him back with the same pure goodness.

Everyone thought Xu Shanqing would use their unspoken power imbalance to psychologically control his little madman. But amid the shuddering sense of taboo, he became the one Qiu Ruoqing successfully controlled, telling him again and again, “Love me a little more.”
