Daily Life Of A Socially Anxious Scumbag Alpha Raising Flowers - Chapter 19

“Yes, you do indeed have depression, but the situation isn’t that bad.”

Zhong Siyu quietly watched the Omega in front of her. “We both know very well that this dogshit social system makes it extremely difficult for most Omegas to escape marital hardship. If they unfortunately encounter a bastard, then it’s basically like choosing death at an accelerated speed. I’ve seen many patients like you. Depression isn’t some rare illness, but you’re the only one whose condition has eased within just one short month.”

“Flames also represent light, as well as warmth that drives away the cold.”

“Perhaps Ms. Wen isn’t an entirely negative image in your heart. You’re afraid of her, but at the same time, you also contradictorily see the good side of her…”

“And every time your partner is mentioned, you unconsciously clench your hands. You’re very anxious. What are you anxious about?”

“Please allow me to make a presumptuous guess. Is what you fear and feel anxious about her regaining her memories?”

Dong Xun loosened the fingers that had been digging tightly into her palm. She lifted her eyes and looked at Zhong Siyu.

“Dr. Zhong, I know my own situation, and I don’t care about it either. I only want to ask…”

“If someone loses their memory, is it possible for their personality to change drastically, for them to become completely different? Even to master a skill that… they absolutely didn’t know before losing their memory?”

“Although I’m not a neurologist, the human brain is very complex. Many of the mechanisms behind its functions remain unsolved mysteries even now. I once heard of someone suddenly mastering another language after losing their memory, so perhaps this is also something that can happen.”

Zhong Siyu smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry. I don’t know any doctors in neurology or brain-related fields. Perhaps you could ask Dr. Qiao. As far as I know, at the medical school she attended during graduate studies, there were several professors who were experts in this field.”

“Thank you.”

Dong Xun did not continue asking.

The conversation also ended there.

Zhong Siyu ended the chat at the right time. “Can I ask your partner to come in now?”

After Wen Xin came in, the entire consultation process instead became much smoother.

When asked about Dong Xun’s condition, no matter how tiny and trivial the detail was, Wen Xin could answer.

She specially took out the notes app on her phone. Inside, dense lines were recorded one after another, all about Dong Xun’s condition.

When Zhong Siyu saw this scene, surprise flashed through her eyes.

At that instant, she even began to doubt what her friend had said. If Wen Xin really was only putting on an act, then why would she go so far? Whether something was superficial pretense or done with sincerity could sometimes be seen.

Zhong Siyu’s impression of Wen Xin improved a little more.

After the questioning ended, Wen Xin finally looked at Zhong Siyu nervously and asked, “Dr. Zhong, is Dong Xun’s condition a little better now?”

“Judging from the results, Ms. Dong’s condition has indeed improved somewhat. You’ve done very well this past month. Please be sure to keep it up.”

After receiving the doctor’s affirmation, Wen Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“But sometimes Dong Xun still suddenly becomes very low-spirited. At those times, she doesn’t do anything. She only likes to stare out the window in a daze… She looks like a wilted flower. Should I intervene?”

When she reached this point, Wen Xin’s expression became a little awkward and embarrassed. “To be honest, Doctor, I think I usually talk quite a lot. I’m always chattering away. I’m a little worried that if this continues, she’ll think I’m noisy.”

Zhong Siyu suddenly discovered that the Alpha in front of her was unexpectedly straightforward. In addition to feeling surprised, she also found it somewhat amusing. “In this kind of situation, you don’t need to do anything extra. Everyone needs their own private space. Ms. Dong is someone who likes to think. She needs time to sort through the changes happening to her. Please believe that she is actually stronger than what you see.”

“Okay, Doctor. Also, over the past month, on average, I’ve taken Dong Xun outdoors once or twice a week. So far, aside from reading, I haven’t discovered any other hobbies she has. I guessed and helped her find some activities or things she might be interested in, but I feel like she isn’t truly interested in those things.”

After discovering that Dong Xun was a perfectionist and possessed extraordinary patience, Wen Xin had ordered many building-block sets and puzzles online, along with some time-consuming handmade toys.

She herself did not have the patience to do these things. Every time she said she would accompany Dong Xun to play with them, in the end, it became Dong Xun assembling them by herself.

As a result, the cabinets and tables at home were now filled with these little things.

But these were things Wen Xin had “forced” Dong Xun to do, because Dong Xun never opposed anything Wen Xin suggested. No matter what Wen Xin suddenly proposed on a whim, Dong Xun would say yes.

Although whenever Wen Xin asked whether she liked them, Dong Xun’s answer every time was that she liked them, Wen Xin could feel that Dong Xun did not truly like these things.

“This still requires careful observation in daily life. In just one short month, there has already been progress. You’ve already done very well. Please continue helping your partner maintain physical and mental happiness. Also, as a doctor and as an Omega, I want to say one more thing to you. Omegas are very vulnerable during their sensitive periods, so if possible, I hope you can be more tolerant of your partner during this stage.”

“I definitely will!”

The moment sensitive periods were mentioned, a flush instantly crept over Wen Xin’s fair skin.

Speaking of which…

When Dong Xun’s sensitive period came this month, she had been the one who helped her. Thinking of the images and sensations in her memory, Wen Xin could not help curling her fingers slightly.

Omegas had sensitive periods every month.

But Alphas only had sensitive periods once every three months.

These past few days, she had often felt that restless heat inside her body…

She had secretly taken inhibitors to suppress it, but the moment she got close to Dong Xun, their effect would immediately be greatly reduced.

This time, Wen Xin finally experienced the charm of pheromones. Before, she had only felt that the cold-fir scent on Dong Xun was comfortable and pleasant. Now, however, that scent had turned into something fatally attractive to her. It lured her at every moment to want to get closer to Dong Xun. These past few days, she had even begun frequently dreaming of indescribable scenes.

Thinking of this, Wen Xin’s lowered eyelashes fluttered rapidly twice.

In her heart, she silently prayed that this damned sensitive period would pass quickly.

…

After everything ended, just as Wen Xin was about to leave, Zhong Siyu hesitated, looking as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself. Her expression was rarely conflicted.

That conflict was so obvious that even Wen Xin could see it.

She asked in confusion and with great directness, “Dr. Zhong, is there something else you want to say?”

“…This may be very presumptuous to ask, but Ms. Wen, you seem to be temporarily unemployed, right?”

Alphas usually had comparatively high self-esteem, so when Zhong Siyu asked this question, her attitude was very careful.

She had previously heard the news of Wen Xin’s unemployment from Qiao Yimu.

Just now, she had suddenly thought that her family’s company had opened a new business sector in Rong City. It was currently hiring during its initial stage. Because her impression of Wen Xin was quite good, she, for once, felt a little enthusiastic and wanted to help her.

Wen Xin did not seem to mind the question in the slightest. She answered frankly, “Yes.”

Zhong Siyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued naturally, “I know a company that is currently hiring. The early stage may be a little tiring, but the income will be quite considerable. If you’re willing, I can introduce you.”

At that moment, Wen Xin sincerely felt that Zhong Siyu was such a good person!

If she had not accidentally and luckily grown her self-media account, then to her, this job would have been as precious as timely charcoal in snowy weather.

Of course, even now that she no longer needed this job, she was still very grateful for Zhong Siyu’s kindness.

Wen Xin thanked her very sincerely for her good intentions and explained that she now had a source of income, politely declining.

Before leaving, she even reminded her, “Dr. Zhong, you must eat the little cake in time. If it sits too long, it’ll affect the texture.”

Zhong Siyu originally did not hold any expectations toward the little cake. But because Wen Xin repeatedly told her to enjoy it in time, she still opened the packaging box early.

As it happened, there were not many appointments today, and she was relatively free, so she could properly slack off for a while in the office.

Zhong Siyu curiously studied the little green thing in front of her, amazed. If she had not known beforehand, she would have thought this thing was a small toy. It had colorful decorative patterns on top, beautiful and delicate.

Probably because its appearance and smell were very good, Zhong Siyu truly began to look forward to its taste.

After she took one bite, her eyes instantly lit up.

A few spoonfuls later, the little cake was gone.

She was still a little unsatisfied.

She remembered that during their chat, Wen Xin had said she had also specially sent Qiao Yimu a little cake.

Zhong Siyu dialed Qiao Yimu’s light communication.

“Yimu, did you receive the thing Wen Xin sent you?”

“Mm.”

“Mm? As expected. Hearing your reaction being this flat, I don’t even need to guess to know you definitely haven’t opened the package. Wen Xin said it’s best to eat it early. If it’s left too long, the texture will be affected.”

In the image, Qiao Yimu’s page-turning motion paused. She looked up, brows slightly furrowed. “You specially called me with light communication while I’m working just to say this?”

Zhong Siyu smiled a little coyly, then revealed her true intention. “What I mean is, if you’re not interested, I can also help you eat it.”

The image instantly cut off.

Zhong Siyu curled her lips, feeling that this friend of hers was truly no fun and did not like joking at all.

Of course, she would not say that she genuinely felt a little regretful that she could not help eat it.

Zhong Siyu suddenly thought of Chen Ke from their circle, the one who spent all day hanging around with Second Shen. Her usual hobby was studying traditional cooked foods. Occasionally, she would make some dark cuisine. Once, she had even given herself food poisoning and had to be urgently carried into the hospital in the middle of the night. All kinds of deeds like this had spread throughout their circle, and everyone had always treated them as jokes. No one ever understood why anyone would spend so much effort with no thanks, researching something so useless.

Before this, Zhong Siyu had basically held the same opinion.

But after eating the little cake Wen Xin sent, she suddenly felt that if the foods produced were all like this, then she suddenly had some interest in participating too.

…

On the other side, the hospital had also just reached lunchtime.

A young nurse from the same department rushed over with great energy, her face full of excitement. “Dr. Qiao, the hospital cafeteria finally got a new flavor of nutrient fluid today!”

“I picked up yours for you too.”

She placed the three tubes of nutrient fluid she had collected on Qiao Yimu’s desk.

“Thank you,” Qiao Yimu said.

“No need to be polite. Dr. Qiao, you should rest first. Only after replenishing your energy can you continue working properly! I also picked up Dr. Li’s portion. I’m going to deliver it to her.”

As she spoke, the young nurse rushed off again.

Qiao Yimu pinched the space between her brows, put down the medical records in her hands, and took off her glasses.

She glanced at the new nutrient fluid. It was cheesecake berry yogurt flavor.

Although the mainstream meal in this world was nutrient fluid, its flavors were very rich. If one was not picky, then in a certain sense, the taste was actually quite good.

Qiao Yimu had no particular feelings toward food. To her, it did not matter what flavor the nutrient fluid was, as long as it could quickly replenish the energy she needed in a short time.

But Zhong Siyu’s sudden message just now still affected her.

Although she seemed cold in personality, Qiao Yimu also had curiosity.

Her gaze uncontrollably fell on the box she had casually set aside…
