Nací bella y soy suprema

Capítulo 29

Wang Xiaofeng exclaimed and tightened his belt, grabbing Ding Yan's hand.

Ding Yan laughed and said, "So, the moment you fall down actually feels really good!"

"You're still laughing!" Wang Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and tightened the belt around his wrist. If Ding Yan fell, he would jump down after him.

The nurse took the temperature of the elderly man in the hospital and said, "Everything is normal. You can be discharged after resting for a while. Do you want to watch TV?"

The uncle nodded.

"Just now, a farcical suicide attempt unfolded at the entrance of the West Asia Shopping Mall in the city's bustling commercial district. Although the woman who attempted suicide has been rescued by a mysterious man, the incident has attracted the attention of major media outlets. This is because the woman who attempted suicide was Ding Yan, the former assistant of the celebrity Xi Li, who caused a sensation a few days ago. The media reporters are trying to obtain the truth about the real reason for Ding Yan's suicide attempt through the police."

The nurse sighed and said, "Why can't these people just live peacefully? They're always causing trouble for everyone." As she spoke, she picked up the medical record folder, glanced at the uncle, and suddenly turned pale.

At some point, the patient, who had just recovered, suddenly fainted again.

Yang Xin had never been so angry before. He roared as he drove the police car, "Ding Yan is naughty, are you naughty too? Why are you causing trouble with him! Do you know how worried I was?"

Wang Xiaofeng, sitting in the back seat, patted Ding Yan on the shoulder and said, "With me here, what are you worried about? Besides, whatever Ding Yan wants to do, I will support her."

Ding Yan stuck out his tongue and said with a smile, "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Learn from me!"

"If she asked you to kill her, would you kill her too?" Yang Xin honked the horn angrily.

“If one day Ding Yan really asks me to kill her, I really will,” Wang Xiaofeng said earnestly. Ding Yan jumped up, hitting her head on the car roof. She grimaced and said, “Wang Xiaofeng, you’re a true bro!”

"Two lunatics!" Yang Xin cursed as he drove towards the Very Apartment. Passing the hospital entrance, he turned his head and asked worriedly, "Should we go to the hospital for a check-up?"

"No need!" Ding Yan waved his hand. "It's just a minor scrape!"

"Let's go to the hospital to get it checked out..." Wang Xiaofeng took her wrist and gently blew on it with concern. This hospital happened to be the one where he worked.

“Yes, go apply some medicine… Perfect timing, I still have something to do upstairs…” Yang Xin said as he parked the car at the hospital entrance.

"What's the matter?" Ding Yan asked gossipy.

"Oh...it was when I hung up on you that an old man fainted next to me! He's in this hospital, I'm checking to see if he's left." Yang Xin helped Ding Yan out of the car and glared at Wang Xiaofeng.

Wang Xiaofeng smiled indifferently.

"Take Ding Yan to get her medicine treated first, and take care of your own wound while you're at it!" Yang Xin said to Wang Xiaofeng. Wang Xiaofeng, clutching his arm, didn't reply, but took Ding Yan's arm and went into the hospital.

Yang Xin felt a surge of anger rising within him, so he stomped his foot and headed towards his uncle's hospital room.

That uncle is in a coma again.

The nurse said helplessly, "We really can't find the cause of her fainting. She fainted twice at the hospital this afternoon."

As they were talking, the uncle opened his eyes again, looking around in a panic: "You absolutely mustn't say those two words, or I'll faint..."

"Which two characters?" Yang Xin asked curiously.

"It's just...it's just...sigh...I can't say it, I'll faint if I do..."

"You should take him to see a psychologist," the nurse whispered in Yang Xin's ear. "He might have something wrong with his head..."

Yang Xin looked at his uncle with a puzzled expression. At that moment, Ding Yan and Wang Xiaofeng pushed the door open and came in.

Yang Xin said, "How is Ding Yan? Is it serious?"

“It’s the two characters Ding, Ding… Yan…” After saying that, the uncle fainted again.

Ding Yan pointed to his nose and said, "What's wrong with me?"

6.

"Oh... he said he faints when he hears my name? Haha!" Ding Yan laughed loudly, "That's hilarious! We'll try it again when he wakes up! Hey, do you know what I just remembered?"

"What?" Yang Xin and Wang Xiaofeng asked in unison.

"It was when I was little, not long after I arrived in Shili Town, a man came to my father for treatment. You know, my father was a renowned doctor back then. That man's illness was even more interesting; he would faint at the mere mention of the word 'egg'! Back then... back then, Sun Xiaoxiao..." Ding Yan's expression darkened. The thought of Sun Xiaoxiao brought her inexplicable sorrow, the childhood playmate who had died because of her. "Sun Xiaoxiao wasn't dead yet. We all thought this man was quite amusing, so we stayed by his bedside. As soon as he woke up, we'd immediately say the word 'egg.' Sure enough, he'd faint. While he was unconscious, I, Sun Xiaoxiao, got bored, so I took my father's discarded syringe and played doctor, pricking his arm with many small holes. Even so, he still wouldn't wake up."

"And then what?"

"Later, I don't know why, his illness got better. Before he left, he even said he would remember me forever!" Ding Yan said smugly, then glanced at the old man again. "Hey? This old man looks a lot like that egg man. Why does he look so familiar..."

"Oh..." Ding Yan covered her mouth, "I remember now, I saw him a few years ago!"

"Oh? When?"

"When I first debuted, I wasn't Xili's assistant yet; I was just working at his agency, a newcomer. But I had a dream of becoming a singer, so I would take my guitar and sing in the subway to promote myself. One time, I had just given my name when someone fainted in the subway, which startled me! Oh! That's him! Good heavens, does he really faint when he hears my name? Good heavens! That's so funny!"

"You're that child?..." The uncle slowly opened his eyes, seemingly having overheard Ding Yan's words, "Shili Town... that little vampire hanging upside down in the tree?"

"Yes! It's me... Could it be... you're that egg man? Haha! What a small world!" Ding Yan took his hand: "What a coincidence!"

“I don’t think so…” he sighed. “When the Xili incident was making headlines a while ago, you were constantly mentioned on TV and on the streets. Several times, I fainted in the middle of the road and almost died… During this period, I’ve almost never dared to go out, and even when I had to, I was terrified…”

"Uncle, why were you afraid of hearing about eggs before, but now you're afraid of hearing about Ding Yan?" Ding Yan asked curiously.

Then, with an angry expression, the old man fainted again.

Wang Xiaofeng suppressed a laugh, his face turning bright red. "Ding Yan, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"I really didn't mean it!" Ding Yan said innocently. Then she immediately said excitedly, "Anyway, we're bored lately, why don't we try to cure him? I cured him when he was afraid of eggs last time."

"How do you treat him? Just poke his arm randomly with a discarded syringe, like a child playing doctor?" Wang Xiaofeng finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"No, that's not it!" Ding Yan said. "Isn't he afraid of me? Why don't we bring him to the Very Apartment and let him watch me every day? He'll get used to it and won't be afraid anymore!"

After saying this, she said thoughtfully, "Indeed, my name is quite special, and it has this kind of power..."

7.

“Old Postman…” Ding Yan frowned, looking at Uncle Guo lying on the sofa. Right, Ding Yan now knew that this uncle’s surname was “Guo.” “Tell me, am I very ugly?”

"It's alright!" The old postman looked up at her and continued replying to emails from those seeking suicide advice.

"Don't try to fool me! Tell me the truth, am I ugly or not?" She brought her face close to the old postman's, who looked at her seriously and said, "Much prettier than that old witch!"

"Who are you calling an old witch!" Aunt Mei placed the soup on the table.

"Alright, Aunt Mei!" Ding Yan waved his hand at Aunt Mei. "If you want to argue, wait until I finish asking my questions! Old Postman, answer my question directly, am I ugly or not?"

"Not ugly!" The old postman's expression seemed honest, not like he was lying.

"That's right!!" Ding Yan scratched his head: "Then why is it that Uncle Guo is still not better after a month? Am I that scary? Can't he get used to my name yet?"

"Don't you understand?" Old Mail said, "His fainting has nothing to do with you. Your name is just a button that triggers some kind of memory in him, a trigger point."

"What should I do? I don't find this fun at all anymore. But I had to beg and plead to bring him back in the first place, I can't just send him away like that, can I? Look at him, he's always hogging my sofa, why doesn't he just faint in his own guest room!"

"You heartless bastard!" Aunt Mei laughed and scolded, "Do you think people are toys? You want to throw them away when you're tired of playing with them?"

Ding Yan was about to retort when he saw that Uncle Guo had already opened his eyes. He smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, just like he said, it's all my own fault... Sigh, I'm so sorry to have troubled you for so long. Thank you, Ding Yan."

"What did you say?" Ding Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"I said, thank you, Ding Yan!" Uncle Guo looked at Ding Yan, who was beaming with excitement, with a puzzled expression.

"Wow! You just said thank you, Ding Yan, right?" Ding Yan repeated.

Uncle Guo nodded.

Ding Yan jumped up and down again: "Just like last time! As long as you accidentally say the name Ding Yan, you're not afraid of it anymore. Look, you accidentally said it yourself. I just said Ding Yan, Ding Yan, Ding Yan several times, and you're perfectly fine!"

Uncle Guo's lips trembled as he said, "I...I'm really healed...Ding Yan, Ding Yan, Ding Yan...I'm not afraid of those two words anymore..."

"Yes, Uncle Guo. Actually, the last time, when I was a child, it was you who unintentionally said the word 'egg'..."

Before Ding Yan could finish speaking, Uncle Guo fainted immediately upon hearing the word "egg".

This coma lasted a long time, exactly the same as before, lasting 12 hours.

"No way..." Ding Yan had Xiao Jia and Xiao Yi carry Uncle Guo to the bed in the guest room, while he lay on the sofa picking at his toenails: "No way... This is so unlucky... He's starting to faint over eggs again..."

While drinking her egg drop soup, Xiaomi said, "Let's call Dr. Liu instead."

Old Postman nodded: "He's more likely to faint over 'eggs' than 'dog's tongue. At least 'dog's tongue' isn't a common word, while eggs are so common. He might faint in some dangerous place someday! I think we should find Dr. Liu to take a look."

8.

Looking at Uncle Guo, who was haggard from frequent fainting spells, Dr. Liu, after learning the details, decided to hypnotize him to search for clues in the depths of his memory.

In Ding Yan's workroom, Dr. Liu gave Uncle Guo hints while handing him a pen, instructing him to "automatically write down" his thoughts. In a dazed and confused state, Uncle Guo wrote the following:

"Mommy, eggs. Mommy is pregnant and needs to eat eggs. But I also want to eat eggs; I haven't eaten eggs in a long time. That day, I secretly ate Mommy's egg, and Mommy died. If only I hadn't stolen the egg. Mommy always said eggs bring good luck, but I ate Mommy's luck, and Mommy died..."

It turns out that a tiny egg could have remained hidden deep within his heart for over forty years. The influence of childhood trauma is truly powerful.

After a period of time following the end of the hypnosis, Dr. Liu showed him the note. He smiled and frankly recounted what had happened back then. He was only six years old at the time, and his mother was pregnant again. He felt uneasy on one hand, and on the other hand, he felt that his younger brother, who was not yet born, was already taking his favorite eggs from him.

Because the family was poor, every time her mother ate eggs, she would say with guilt, "I'm not saying it's for Mom to eat, it's for my little brother to need."

One day, he stole his mother's eggs, and shortly after, his mother went into labor and went to the hospital. Due to her weakness and breech presentation, she and her unborn child died in childbirth.

He always believed that it was because he stole the egg that his mother was too weak to give birth to his younger brother, and that he was the one who killed his mother.

Even into adulthood, he felt deep remorse for this, and after witnessing his wife's painful childbirth, he developed a fear of eggs. The mere mention of eggs would cause him to faint.

Coma is a psychological defense mechanism to prevent him from continuing to recall his childhood memories of eggs.

"Isn't that a bit much?" Ding Yan said. "Then why is he afraid of my name?"

"Hehe," Dr. Liu chuckled, "I knew long ago that your vampire paranoia had been brewing since childhood. Back then, with nowhere else to turn, he clung to your father as a last resort, only to be disappointed, because your father had no idea how to treat his condition. And you kept playing pranks on him, making him unconscious. Every time he woke up, he would see you drinking blood, and then he would see the needle marks on his arm. How could he not be afraid? His fear of vampires surpassed that of an egg."

"Oh..." Ding Yan nodded. "It seems that bringing him home was the right thing to do. After he was no longer afraid of me, he has started to be afraid of eggs again?"

Dr. Liu nodded, then turned around and saw that Uncle Guo had fainted again.

Seriously? Weren't we already hypnotized? Didn't we already know the real reason? Why are you still afraid?

9.

The next day, Dr. Liu skillfully asked Uncle Guo a few more questions, and then put him under deeper hypnosis.

Dr. Liu felt that it was an exaggeration to say that he had felt guilty for over forty years simply because he stole his mother's eggs. Sure enough, there were other reasons behind it.

It turns out that since his mother became pregnant, Uncle Guo had been depressed. He felt threatened, thinking that after his younger brother was born, his mother might never love him again.

He had been arguing with his mother about this.

That winter, it snowed heavily. His mother told him to wear warm clothes when he went out, but he was angry about something trivial. So he deliberately went out without a coat, thinking that disobeying his mother was the greatest punishment he could receive.

However, he fell ill as a result.

The mother, nearing her due date, was exhausted from caring for him. Actually, he didn't steal the eggs; they were given to him by his mother. During those days, his mother used all the limited eggs they had to make him delicious steamed egg cakes.
