When the original host was researching the so-called spacetime entanglement array, she was always afraid that others' auras entering the room would interfere with the array's operation, so she never let her parents come in.
At most, they were allowed to stand at the door and look.
Meals were also exchanged at the door.
Therefore, when Ding Yun now invited her mother, Zhou Juan, in, Zhou Juan was a little overwhelmed with flattery.
"It's okay, I'm done with my work.
I was busy solving a bold hypothesis a while ago and made many experimental plans for it. I was afraid you would come in and affect the overall experimental process.
That's why I kept you outside.
Now that the experiment is complete, there's nothing more."
Ding Yun knew that her actions differed somewhat from the original host's, so she specifically explained the reason to her mother to dispel any doubts.
Meanwhile, Zhou Juan, standing at the door, was so excited she felt like crying. In her eyes, her daughter's current behavior was clearly much more normal than before.
So, she wasn't sure if her daughter's strange behavior over the past month was due to a worsening of her condition or if she was simply conducting some scientific research. She had heard that some scientists appeared abnormal when conducting research, but it was because they were too focused.
It wasn't a sign of illness.
If her daughter was just too focused on researching that experimental plan, causing her to seem a bit abnormal, would they still need to see a doctor?
Thinking of this, Zhou Juan couldn't help but question herself. She wasn't sure if she should tell her daughter about the doctor's visit. After hesitating at the door for a while, she finally said:
"Oh, that's good, that's good. Since you're fine now, do you want to come out for lunch later?"
"Okay. Thank you for always being bothered. When lunch is ready, please call me.
Uh... I'm going to close the door now..."
Ding Yun took the milk from her mother's hand, agreed to her suggestion, and already had her hand on the doorknob, preparing to close the door.
Zhou Juan waved her hands repeatedly, indicating it was fine, and then quickly turned around, her steps light and quick as if she were jogging, and hurried to the living room balcony:
"Old man, old man, listen to me!"
"Don't talk, I'm talking to the eldest son!"
Liu Guozheng was discussing the matter of the doctor with his eldest son and didn't look at his wife. He waved his hand to signal his wife not to disturb him and his son's important conversation.
Their daughter was the most troublesome matter in the family right now.
Nothing was more important than their daughter's affairs.
However, Zhou Juan undoubtedly felt that the situation she had just discovered was more important. She quickly stepped forward, snatched the phone from her husband's hand, and spoke directly into the phone screen:
"Eldest son, I have something to tell your dad. Ask him to call you back later. Let's hang up first, hang up!"
After speaking, Zhou Juan returned the phone to her husband and, ignoring his bewildered look, quickly leaned close to him and whispered, "I think we've misunderstood.
Didn't we suspect that Xiao Yun's condition had worsened earlier? But a few minutes ago, when I knocked on the door and spoke to Xiao Yun, she behaved very normally, even inviting me in for a chat. She also agreed to come out and eat with us for lunch. Isn't that very normal?"
"Normal to the point of being abnormal..."
Hearing his wife's words, Liu Guo couldn't help but nod. It was indeed normal, but compared to her daughter's previous behavior, it was indeed abnormally normal, the kind of normalcy found in normal people, not her daughter's kind of normalcy.
She used to ignore them, slam the door shut after taking things, and sometimes wouldn't say a word all day. If her bedroom didn't have a bathroom,
she might not have left her bedroom at all.
"Don't be cheeky.
Daughter also told me the reason just now, saying she was busy doing some experiment recently. I've heard that some researchers and scientists neglect to eat and sleep for their experiments, and even faint from hunger, right?
Isn't our daughter's situation quite similar? And I heard that in scientific research, the most dreaded thing is having an idea interrupted. When we knock on the door to call her for meals, isn't that like interrupting her train of thought, causing her to be in a bad mood? That makes sense, doesn't it?
So, is it possible that our daughter isn't sick after all?
It's normal for talented people to have odd tempers!"
With just a few words from Ding Yun, Zhou Juan's imagination ran wild, even explaining away the original host's previous abnormal actions.
"Well, wife, I know you want your daughter to be normal, but let's be realistic. What kind of scientific research doesn't require equipment? Isn't it done in research institutes? Have you ever seen anyone messing around in their own bedroom?
Besides, you've seen what she's been fiddling with – scribbles, stones, compasses, cinnabar, and the like. She's clearly engaging in feudal superstition, maybe even witchcraft. None of it seems related to scientific research. Stop comforting yourself.
We have to believe in science."
"Moreover, if there's really nothing wrong, there's no problem with inviting a doctor. Don't you think so? If she's fine, then that's even better. We'll be relieved if a doctor says she's fine."
Liu Guo already felt in his heart that his daughter was truly abnormal, so he wasn't swayed by his wife's few words. He even tried to persuade his wife.
Her husband's words brought Zhou Juan's mind back to a little more clarity. She thought carefully about her daughter's past actions, the items she had bought, and the scribbles they had personally seen. She had to admit that her husband was right. Those things didn't look like scientific research.
Besides, there was no harm in finding a doctor. If she wasn't sick, it could be preventative.
So, the two quickly decided to proceed with the original plan. Regardless, they had to let a doctor examine her and give a definitive conclusion so they could be at ease.
If she was sick, they would treat her; if not, they would also be reassured.
Next, of course, Liu Guo continued to contact his eldest son to ask him to help find a psychologist, preferably one with excellent medical skills, who could diagnose mental illnesses. Zhou Juan went to prepare food.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Ding Yun was completely unaware. The original host's bedroom was specially designed and renovated, with excellent soundproofing. Once the door was closed, unless someone knocked directly, any sound outside below ninety decibels was essentially silent inside.
Therefore, Ding Yun didn't realize anything until after lunch.
When she saw the doctor arrive.
Only then did she recall her original host parents' various abnormal behaviors and some strange actions of her parents from the original host's memories, and she roughly guessed the situation.
The original host felt that her parents didn't understand anything and didn't understand her, while her parents probably felt that their daughter was somewhat abnormal and even needed to see a doctor.
This doctor was said to be coming for a physical check-up,
but was actually here to determine if she had a mental illness!
