I, Doctor in the US
Chapter 308 307: Drifting at Sea with Yuanyuan for 3 Days
"Why do you agree to such an unreasonable request from me?"
"Unreasonable? I don't think so."
"You're clearly indulging me, but it's strange."
"Strange? A girl like you being pampered isn't normal?"
"No, it's not normal at all."
"Oh, this..."
"Do you think there's something wrong with me?"
"If I lied, could I fool you?"
"You can try."
"Alright, I am a bit worried."
"Worried I'd commit suicide by jumping into the sea?"
"...Okay, I'll be honest, I have worried about that."
"Hehe..."
"What are you laughing at?"
"I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at myself."
"Why are you laughing at yourself?"
"Can't I laugh at myself?"
"No, Yuanyuan, I never said you can't. Are you being too sensitive?"
"I am sensitive! So what!?"
"That's okay, from a medical perspective, it's not a problem, there are highly sensitive people among us humans."
"Screw your medical perspective!"
"Alright! Screw the medicine!"
"Hahaha..."
"This laugh is genuine."
"Why don't you ask why?"
"Because this time, your laugh seems very normal."
"Normal? What is normal?"
"Isn't laughing usually because one is happy? You seem quite happy."
"Don't you doubt that you might be wrong?"
"I'm a doctor, I have confidence in my judgment."
"What if I insist you're wrong?"
"That's impossible."
"You... sometimes you're really strange."
"If there were someone else here, let them judge who among us is really strange."
"Hahaha..."
"You're laughing again."
"What about this time?"
"This time, I don't know."
"Then... alright, you were right, I did think about just jumping into the sea."
"Why would you think that?"
"Do you want to counsel me?"
"I'm not a psychologist."
"Then what are you doing now?"
"Well..."
"What? Out of words?"
"Not really."
"Then what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking, since you're already thinking about dying, why not..."
"Why not what?"
"Why not go crazy for once?"
"Go crazy?"
"What? You don't want to? If not, why are you with me like this?"
"Zhou Mo Sen, I admit you're really sharp, seeing through so much."
…
On the flight to Los Angeles.
A flight attendant walked over.
"Sir, do you need a blanket?"
"Oh, this... yes, I do."
"Please wait a moment."
Zhou Mo Sen had just taken a little nap, which prompted the flight attendant's inquiry, a very normal gesture.
But, Zhou Mo Sen himself knew that there was a slight issue here.
The problem lay in... he knew how dark his eye circles had become.
Indeed, to the point of affecting Dr. Zhou's appearance.
And he had just fallen asleep like that, the flight attendant offering him a blanket likely meant she thought he was a bit weak.
Well, the concept of 'weakness' is something our Chinese medicine considers, but the kind-hearted flight attendant probably just thought Zhou Mo Sen looked unwell.
So, this gesture left Zhou Mo Sen feeling a bit embarrassed.
Embarrassed or not, since she was so kind.
In fact, Zhou Mo Sen's dark eye circles and his little nap were indeed due to some fatigue.
No, this fatigue is temporary!
Really temporary, our Dr. Zhou certainly won't stay weak forever.
As to why it's temporary, that's normal too.
Spending three crazy days at sea with Gao Yuanyuan, any man wouldn't be much stronger than Zhou Mo Sen.
Yes, just now in that dream, Zhou Mo Sen even relived the bits and pieces on that ship.
And the conversation in the dream was indeed the longest dialogue between Zhou Mo Sen and Gao Yuanyuan during those three days.
Afterwards, they hardly spoke at all.
Highlighting "less talk, more action."
At the start, it really surprised Zhou Mo Sen a bit.
The usually innocent and lovely Gao Yuanyuan displayed a very bold side.
She said she wanted to see the sea.
Zhou Mo Sen carried her to the ship's side.
She said she wanted to steer the ship.
Zhou Mo Sen told her to hold the steering wheel firmly.
She said she wanted to look at the stars.
Zhou Mo Sen supported her from below.
In short, Zhou Mo Sen was indeed somewhat indulgent.
But, there was a reason for it.
From their conversation, it was clear that the failure at the Cannes Film Festival was a big blow to Gao Yuanyuan.
So, she really might have an impulse towards self-destruction.
Zhou Mo Sen's indulgence could actually be seen as giving way to her.
However, isn't our Dr. Zhou usually tough-hearted and yet this time his 'concession'... wasn't he worried that Gao Yuanyuan might not have that self-destructive tendency at all?
In this situation, Zhou Mo Sen had considered it.
Before traveling through time, even though Zhou Mo Sen was not very familiar with the domestic entertainment circle, he had heard some things.
After all, there are so many stories in our entertainment industry, it's not a bad thing to snack on some of them.
Regarding Gao Yuanyuan, he had heard that this girl seemed to have been depressed later on.
Of course, it might be related to this Cannes, or it might not be.
But whether it's related or not, since Gao Yuanyuan became depressed, then from a medical perspective, she could very likely be depressed.
This... is not a tongue twister, Zhou Mo Sen just meant: it's possible she could be now.
So, from a friend's perspective, he really had to help.
At least, offer some guidance, right?
It's just that his way of offering guidance... to lead Yuanyuan into something?
No, no!
The word was originally quite good, so why did it change meaning when it got to Zhou Mo Sen?
Don't get hung up on that word.
In short, Zhou Mo Sen had good intentions.
It definitely counts as a kind gesture.
Moreover, from a medical standpoint, wasn't he also treating and saving a person?
Yes, that is indeed treating Yuanyuan.
It's just that, this guy was originally a general surgeon and is now a cosmetic surgeon, truly not a psychologist.
So, his treatment plan for Yuanyuan was just like this.
Everyone needs to have some madness.
The original plan was actually just one day, but it was really unexpected.
Though mad, though tired, it was still unfinished business.
Add more days.
And that's how it went, the two of them on a boat at sea for three days, going crazy for three days.
Fortunately, they brought enough food and everything.
Otherwise, it would really be a bit...
Mainly because Zhou Mo Sen's nutrients were depleted a lot.
Of course, they didn't stay silent.
They did communicate some, though these interactions were somewhat bizarre.
Zhou Mo Sen heard that Yuanyuan was able to come out of depression because she listened to comedy shows.
Listening to Old Guo's comedy shows.
That... Zhou Mo Sen surely couldn't compare to Old Guo in telling jokes.
But he was okay, he was quite good at joking.
For example, Yuanyuan asked him if he had been with many women, especially female stars like Scarlett Johnson...
Zhou Mo Sen naturally answered truthfully.
Many.
This naturally surprised Yuanyuan.
But afterwards, she was still very curious.
So she asked, how she compared to them?
This question is fierce, if it were between boyfriends and girlfriends asking like this.
It's like a life-threatening question.
But their relationship was still in a state of confusion, as for answering...
Zhou Mo Sen cleverly replied: Yes, you... are the smallest in that regard.
Actually, it was a joke.
As a result, Yuanyuan beat him up.
Though, isn't she not depressed by now?
Probably.
Such violence, and while hitting, she laughed.
Zhou Mo Sen considered this a successful treatment and saving a person.
In short, when they finally disembarked, Yuanyuan only said this:
"I was very happy these three days."
Zhou Mo Sen nodded when he heard it, he didn't say anything.
Because he was very happy too.
It's just that Xiaozhou was truly exhausted.
As for the future.
They didn't say anything.
Actually, there probably wasn't anything to say.
It was probably just these three days, nothing beyond that.
But, life, you know.
Having these three days of madness and happiness is enough.
The future will be the future, maybe it's not that important.
And just like that, they parted ways.
No more words, nothing like a farewell.
Zhou Mo Sen felt like he had saved someone.
He did alright as a doctor.
It's just a bit tiring.
Fortunately, after a good sleep, he felt much better, and besides, the plane was about to land.
In Los Angeles, he still had some things to take care of.
And just as Zhou Mo Sen landed at the airport, his phone rang.
It was a call he never expected.
Professor Hansen.
Why would he call him?
