CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 45: HU HU CARES ABOUT YOUR UTTERLY OBSESSED MENTAL STATE

The little fox placed its two paws on the edge of the bed, looking at Lin Ying with curiosity, as if gauging her condition.

"No need to worry about my condition."

Lin Ying’s face showed no emotion, and she explained calmly, "Life is only once, and after everything that’s happened recently, I’ve started taking a high dose of combined medication for depression."

"Depression is not a purely psychological disease; it also triggers hormone secretions in the body, leading to irreversible physical changes in the brain...."

"I’ve passed through mild, moderate, and directly entered the severe phase. Being in a severe state is relatively safe in a sense, as they’ve already lost all interest and energy, and even if suicidal thoughts occur, they fail due to inability to act."

I was supposed to ride with my family in the same car, accompany my daughter to a mountain resort for vacation.

But before departure, Lin Ying received a notice from her family to handle some affairs, and she didn’t get in the car.

She survived the car accident.

Afterwards, due to a mental breakdown, Lin Ying performed very irrational actions at home.

However, a fox punched through the car window, rescuing her directly from the fish pond, and she survived once again.

Until her condition completely worsened, Lin Ying, having lost all hope and desire, viewed her vacation villa as a morgue... yet she still didn’t die.

At this time, Lin Ying, who never believed in the supernatural.

Had to admit that she indeed had a tough life.

Moreover.

Inviting the gods is easy, sending them off is hard; Master Fox, who she accidentally encountered and who already saved her twice, should continue to secretly prevent her from doing irrational things.

Lin Ying looked at the fox, her expression calm, forcing a stiff smile:

"The medication I’m currently taking is a new type prepared by my family; it can adjust hormones to calm my mind, and through hormone regulation, cure physical changes...."

"The only side effect is probably insomnia?"

Ansheng, full of suspicion, climbed onto the bed and lifted a small paw to feel Lin Ying’s forehead.

Lin Ying’s expression was extraordinarily calm, her pupils showed no dilation or constriction, except her pupils moved side to side with the fox’s movements.

At this moment, Lin Ying seemed more like a meticulously crafted beautiful doll.

Ansheng fetched a mobile phone, writing more worriedly:

[Are you really okay? Why do I feel you’re even worse than before? Did your family give you fake drugs?]

The fox could use the phone and input the password.

It even used punctuation when typing.

Originally calm, a slight ripple appeared in Lin Ying’s eyes as she said:

"The drugs I am taking are a compounded therapy, targeting both physical lesions and my lethargic state, as well as specific nutrients...."

"I don’t quite understand the doctor’s professional terms, but my previous irrational behavior was just because I had no attachments to the world."

"I’ve enjoyed what I should, owned what I ought to have. I’ve been through marriage, career, life, and death; if life could start over, it’d just be retracing my steps."

When Lin Ying talked about this, her indifferent and calm tone paused briefly, as if there was a glimmer in her eyes:

"I feel life is just like that, and even if I got another chance to rediscover, I don’t think I could do better than now...."

"But Master Fox, your appearance made me understand some things."

"The first time you saved me from the fish pond, I didn’t see you as a real creature; to me, your existence might just be a hallucination from my mental disorder."

"But when you appeared the second time, dragging me, taking me to the kitchen via the elevator, opening the microwave and forcibly feeding me...."

"I realized it wasn’t me who’s crazy!"

"But I’m not sure if I’m insane because I know my condition is severe, so I’ve been strictly taking medication since that day."

"Because I want to discern who among me, Master Fox, and the world is mad!"

Lin Ying laughed when she said this, her smile no longer stiff but radiant.

"I’ve switched four medications in a row, all in increased dosages; I can confirm I have no mental disorder causing hallucinations!"

"And Master Fox, neither are you crazy; you even come back every night to care for me, knew to research online for remedies when I was almost passing out from period pain, and leave messages for the maids to take care of my anemia...."

"I, Lin Ying, didn’t go crazy, and neither did you, Master Fox...."

Lin Ying’s eyes were filled with excitement:

"So... it’s the world that’s gone mad!"

"Only in a crazy world would something as magical as Master Fox appear!"

"I am ill, but I take medicine!"

"And the world is insane! It doesn’t have medication! Its condition will only continue to worsen!"

"In this crazy world, I, Lin Ying, believe nothing is impossible!"

"We aren’t crazy, the world is! I know I’m exceptionally hard to kill, so now I won’t entertain any thoughts of self-harm!"

"I want to find the pattern of the world’s insanity!"

"As long as... I find the pattern!"

"I can prove! It’s the world that’s gone mad!"

Lin Ying expressed what has been in her extremely chaotic mind over the past half-month.

"Ying!?"

The little fox looked terrified, quickly escaping Lin Ying’s hold, rummaging through the bedside drawer for the medicine box, inputting each ingredient into the search for drug actions.

Lin Ying... claimed she wasn’t crazy.

Ansheng didn’t believe a word, of course, Ansheng didn’t think Lin Ying’s condition worsened; she’s at the ultimate severe stage, how could it get worse?

If there was still room for it to get worse, then the disease might need to be named after Lin Ying.

Ansheng naturally suspected the medications she was taking as the reason for Lin Ying’s complete madness.

Foreign drugs, a pill could be thirty percent treatment and ninety-seven percent stimulants, that’s normal.

Otherwise, why do so many overseas overdoses happen?

"Ying ying ying—"

Ansheng checked the information while cooing to soothe Lin Ying’s emotional excitement, full of worry, fearing the mad Lin Ying might bite.

People fear mad dogs.

But Ansheng was very afraid of Lin Ying now; it’s just a little fox, normally, drinking a bit of my Yang Qi was fine.

But now... you can’t be thinking about feasting on me, right?

Do this again, and I will call the police!

Just like a lunatic philosophy student, Ansheng wouldn’t believe it unless a urine test came back positive.

[I’m not crazy! The world is! Only the world going mad could give rise to Master Fox. If I find the world’s madness pattern, I will determine whether Master Fox’s existence is accidental or inevitable—Firmly believing the world is insane, Lin Ying saw her life being reborn.]

[Wish Fulfilled: Completely Mad! How can one overcomes every difficulty without going mad (As the world is reborn, how can old formalities hinder scientific progress? Science plus mysticism will ensure my family’s well-being!)]

"wdnmd!"

I’m just a fox, a White Fox at that.

Firefox can fix bugs by reopening windows.

But albino red fox can’t!

Seeing the wish list refreshed, Ansheng was entirely dumbfounded.

How couldn’t it know its own situation?
