Love as a Weapon: A Tsundere Player in a Transmigration Game

33. Doctor, Can You Cure My Insomnia? (1)

Translator: Annsmiley

A full moon was hanging high in the dark sky. Some medical equipment was placed in a room, all of which were used for hypnosis.

A middle-aged man was waiting inside the room.

Nan Yu, who had just gotten the patient out of the hypnotic state, met the patient’s empty eyes. As the patient’s eyes gradually became less dull, Nan Yu started to talk slowly.

“Mr. Li, I am fully aware of your current condition. For the further treatment, I’m gonna need your close cooperation, as what you’re suffering from is a mental illness. It will take a long time to cure it.”

As for what Nan Yu just blurted out, it was the instinctive reaction of the orginal host. Nan Yu didn’t have the chance to hear about the plot at the moment, so all he knew about the original host of this world was that he was a psychiatrist.

And right now Nan Yu knew nothing about the hypnosis equipment in the room.

However, now was not the time for Nan Yu to contact the system, as there was a patient who had been waiting for a long time. And Nan Yu couldn’t possibly ask him to leave.

“Alright, Mr. Li, that’s it for today. Try your best to remain emotionally calm always, and don’t get over-excited or over-depressed about anything.”

Mr. Li nodded immediately after hearing what Nan Yu said, “I will. Thank you, doctor.”

Nan Yu just nodded without showing any expressions on his face.

From the layout of the orginal host’s office, which featured simple and monotonous decoration and furnishing, Nan Yu could tell that the original host had a cold personality. Nan Yu gradually adapted himself to his new role in this world.

Seeing Mr. Li leave, a man in the waiting room entered Nan Yu’s office on his own initiative, and he didn’t look like a patient.

In terms of age, he was over 60 years old. Nan Yu did not think that an old man who had one foot in the grave and who looked kind-hearted would come to see a psychiatrist. Moreover, Nan Yu did not feel that the original host was familiar with this old man in any way.

From a doctor’s perspective, how could the original host have no impression of it when he had a patient who was so old? So Nan Yu believed that the old man was not here to see a doctor.

The old man also felt Nan Yu’s gaze. After all, Nan Yu was a psychiatrist, so he must have guessed that he was not here for treatment.

Although Nan Yu guessed that the old man was not here for treatment, he still asked politely, “Mister, what can I do for you?”

The old man smiled. “Doctor, I already have one foot in the grave. No kind of sickness or pain shall be a problem for me.”

Nan Yu frowned. Could the old man have dementia? That was the only way Nan Yu could explain why he was here.

“Then why are you coming here?”

Hearing that, the old man whose face looked benevolent now looked quite worried. “I’m not here for myself. I’m here for my poor grandson!”

Nan Yu nodded and looked behind the old man. “Is your grandson here?”

Speaking of his grandson, the old man sighed, “My grandson doesn’t want to see a doctor and he insists that he isn’t sick. But ever since that incident, he has had difficulty falling asleep at night. And whenever he fell asleep, he would wake up from nightmares in less than ten minutes.”

When he talked about his grandson, worry was written all over his wrinkled face. The amiability that he had shown just now was replaced by worry and anxiety.

“How long has he been like that?”

The old man’s eyes were filled with tears. “For more than ten years, and his condition has become worse in recent years! Before that, he was able to fall asleep after taking some sleeping pills, but now even after he takes the pills, he doesn’t feel sleepy at all.”

Nan Yu drew his eyebrows tightly together. He thought that the old man didn’t take his grandson to a doctor. “Didn’t you take him to a doctor?”

“We took him abroad, but those doctors said that it was too late for him to be cured and that the chances of recovery are very low.”

“So, what do you expect me to do?” Nan Yu felt puzzled. As far as he could tell, the orginal host could not be a top doctor, otherwise he wouldn’t be treating patients here.

“Good boy, I only have one grandson, so I hope that he can see a doctor who does house calls. I know that my grandson’s illness is incurable, so I only hope that the doctor can keep my grandson company from time to time.”

“What do you mean?”

Nan Yu wondered if the old man wanted him to do house visits to his grandson. But he had a mission in this world, so his main purpose here was not to be a doctor and cure people.

“Good boy, as people always say, good judgment comes from experience. And I’m an experienced man. I can tell that you’re a good person, so I’d like to ask you to do home visits to my grandson.”

The old man’s eyes were shining. The older generation trusted their gut, so he believed that Nan Yu was his grandson’s last hope.

However, Nan Yu came to this world to fufil a task. For a patient who even foreign doctors couldn’t cure, what was the point of treating him? He was just about to refuse when Rabbit’s untimely voice was heard in his mind.

< Host Player, say yes! >

“Why?”

< Host Player, all you need to know is that it is part of the mission, so all you need to do is to obey the system. >

Nan Yu hadn’t even heard about the plot yet and the system was asking him to obey it. Although Nan Yu was unhappy about it, he had no other choice but to do it.

Besides, the old man looked like he was easy to get along with, so it was likely that his grandson would be the same.

Seeing that Nan Yu was deep in thought, the old man thought that it was about money, so he added, “Young man, if you’re worried about the reward, you can rest assured. As long as you’re willing to do house calls to my grandson, I’ll pay whatever you ask!”

He was so old, and he said that he would pay whatever Nan Yu asked. Wasn’t he afraid that Nan Yu would name an unfair price?

Anyway, the system had asked him to say yes, but he didn’t agree directly. “What if I’m unable to cure your grandson?”

When the old man heard that, the lines and wrinkles of worry were temporarily smoothed out. He said kindly, “Good boy, even if you can’t cure my grandson, you can at least talk to him. I just want him to have someone to talk to.”

Since the old man said that, Nan Yu naturally could not refuse. “In that case, I agree, but I have to come and work here during the day. As you can see, I’ve got many patients who need my counseling. I will do house calls to your grandson at night. Is that okay for you?”

For both the orginal host and Nan Yu, it was impossible for them to just stop treating those patients they were responsible for all of a sudden, and only to be an exclusive doctor to the old man’s grandson.

When the old man heard that Nan Yu agreed, the kindness on his face was even more obvious. “Of course, I’m okay with it. I understand that you put your work here first. I’m just glad that you’re willing to do this for my grandson.”

“Mmm.” Nan Yu responded in a low voice. He had yet to learn about the plot. If he changed the original host’s persona without knowing what he was like, who knew what the system would make him do?

“It’s a deal then. Right, good boy, I still don’t know what your name is,” the old man asked about Nan Yu’s name.

“My name is Nan Yu.”

“Okay, can I call you Xiao Nan then?”

“Mmm.”

The old man’s smile deepened. “Then, Xiao Nan, I’ll come and pick you up after you get off work. I won’t keep you any longer now.”

The old man walked out with his walking stick.

Nan Yu saw that there were no other patients in the waiting room, so he sat down and got ready to learn about the plot.
