"Gu Ran, He Qingyan, and you, Chen Ke, each of you owes me a 500-word reflection piece tonight," Su Qing said with a smile over the phone.
"Su Qing, hey, moshi moshi, why aren't you moving anymore?" Gu Ran said, leaning closer to his phone screen.
"You're finished," He Qingyan declared from a superior position.
As she spoke, the Su Qing on screen said, "Gu Ran, make yours 1000."
He Qingyan threw her hands up, dancing and clapping while humming, "Thirty-Six Strategies of Love, always maintain your charm."
She was one of the reasons the psychiatric hospital was so lively!
Chen Ke was initially disheartened, as it was her first time writing a reflection, but she was now amused.
Gu Ran realized that this could work: if everyone was in a tough spot, pick one person to have an even tougher time, and the rest will feel better.
So, he decided to make it tougher for others.
After lunch, before the afternoon nap, inside the consulting room.
