Chew Slowly Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Chapter 72

===========================

In the morning, Xu Qiaochuan was a little depressed, and he always had to repeat himself twice when talking to him.Chen Zongqian looked very worried. He stretched out his hand to hold him but was dodged. Xu Qiaochuan reacted quickly at this moment.

“It’ll be out in half an hour at most, very soon.” The nurse asked Chen Zongqian to wait outside and led Xu Qiaochuan into the treatment room door. Xu Qiaochuan didn’t even look at the process.

There were a lot of people in the MECT treatment room. Xu Qiaochuan first saw the recovery nurse and anesthesiologist, and there were people adjusting equipment parameters next to them.The nurse asked him to take off his shirt, but his hands were shaking as he barely managed to pull off the buttons of his hospital gown.

“Don’t be nervous.” Someone reassured him.

The bed was 900mm wide, more than enough for a man of normal physique to lie on it. Xu Qiaochuan felt that his movements were restricted for some reason, his breathing was slightly short of breath, and his chest was tight and depressed. He tensed up and did not dare to move.Looking up, he saw the white light spread out, making his eyes shrink slightly, and everything was blurred in this vast whiteness.

The nurse used the ECG, blood pressure, blood oxygen, and EEG equipment to fight against him. The lines were tangled like a tangle.The doctor was about to give him a muscle relaxant. Xu Qiaochuan couldn’t see or hear clearly. He instinctively felt that the heat was close to him and was about to touch his skin.

Xu Qiaochuan began to tremble again, more violently than before.The anesthesiologist was the first to notice something was wrong and immediately put a needle in to hold him down.As soon as his hands touched him, the patient started screaming. Xu Qiaochuan waved his hand to brush away the approaching person.It is difficult for patients to control themselves and their attacks are irregular. Psychiatric doctors and nurses are used to this.They skillfully controlled Xu Qiaochuan, pressed the patient’s hands and feet, and told him to relax over and over again.

“It’ll be fine soon.”

He couldn’t ignore the hands pressing on his body. Through the medical latex gloves, the palms were neither too cold nor too hot. The sensation was actually very vague. There was just a palm-shaped pressure exerted on him. He couldn’t break free and collapsed.

Xu Qiaochuan did not think that he was being caught or touched. He always felt that it was violation and abuse.He opened his mouth dry, whining weakly in his throat, drooling on his neck without feeling it, and his desire to vomit was more urgent than to cry out.

The eight hours of fasting before the operation prevented him from actually vomiting. He was tired from struggling, and the anesthetic gas rushed into the alveoli with his breathing.Xu Qiaochuan fell into a drowsy sleep, and the hands that were holding him finally let go.

Electrical stimulation lasting less than 8 seconds is painful and resembles an epileptic seizure.The muscle relaxant showed its effectiveness, making his twitching far less intense than when he was awake.

His fingers twitched and his toes curled up. Xu Qiaochuan straightened his body slightly. He frowned sadly, and his facial features were covered with a thin layer of sweat.His face turned red and his lips were bitten and turned white. The anesthesiologist immediately adjusted the oxygen supply efficiency of the machine.

It took about twenty minutes before he opened his eyes. It was still the same white light, with many green figures floating beside him.Xu Qiaochuan didn’t know what this was, so he closed his eyes again in a daze.He heard people talking, but couldn’t make out what was said, and his empty brain couldn’t decipher any information.

“What is this?” Nurse Xingfu pointed three fingers in front of him and repeated the question many times. Xu Qiaochuan even read it again and paused for a long time before answering the number three.The nurse wanted to help him stand up, but Xu Qiaochuan expressed his resistance with a wooden face. In his eyes, he saw an unrecognizable person approaching. He didn’t want to be touched, so he hid behind him.

His head hurt, and Xu Qiaochuan pressed his head in a daze. The bed was pushed once, and his throat tightened as he moved, and he made obvious vomiting movements.The nurse observed his symptoms and said that this was a normal phenomenon after surgery and that he would be fine after resting for a while.

Chen Zongqian waited outside for more than half an hour before he saw Xu Qiaochuan. He refused the help of the nurse and doctor and walked out slowly alone.

“Xiaoqiao.” Chen Zongqian quickly walked over and grabbed him.Xu Qiaochuan raised his eyes and looked. He was too slow and finally remembered to let go of his hands. Chen Zongqian had already clasped his fingers together, and the palms of his hands were so close that it was difficult to separate his hands.He opened his mouth to say something, but forgot what he was going to say.

The doctor gave a few words of advice: “When you go back, try to lie down flat on the pillow and see if you feel any discomfort. If anything happens, ring the bedside call bell and the nurse will come over immediately.”

Chen Zongqian nodded repeatedly, not daring to forget those instructions.During the delay, Xu Qiaochuan felt his head hurt even more. He unconsciously bumped his head against Chen Zongqian’s arm, and the hand he was holding instantly squeezed tighter. He didn’t feel any pain.

“Are you particularly sad?” Chen Zongqian asked him a few questions as he took him back to the ward, but unfortunately he didn’t get a reply.

Except for the trance when he first woke up, Xu Qiaochuan’s memory did not have much impact.He could now put things aside calmly, without any desire to actively think of them.My head still hurts and my body feels unspeakably tired, but my spirit is strangely relaxed.

He felt a little confused about himself like this. It was probably not fear, but difficulty in adapting to himself like this.He could feel his own weirdness, but he didn’t know why he was so weird.

Chen Zongqian held his face, and his hand was a little too cold. Xu Qiaochuan felt vaguely uncomfortable. He was quickly hugged and could not push away.Xu Qiaochuan put his face against his strong chest and abdomen, feeling the normal body temperature of a person through a layer of shirt, and smelled a light fragrance.

This was complete contact with someone, so close to someone. Xu Qiaochuan was stunned to find that he did not reject and resist him, and even subconsciously raised his hands to hug him.Xu Qiaochuan didn’t know why he did this. The sadness that arose suddenly and without any reason enveloped him together with the fragrance. Xu Qiaochuan buried himself in it and cried silently.

Four treatments were arranged in the first week. Every time he went out, he would see Chen Zongqian. He would stay for a few seconds to watch, as if he was getting used to the new encounter.Chen Zongqian will come over soon to hold him and lead him back to the ward.

Today he stood in the door for a while longer and looked back at the nurse. Xu Qiaochuan couldn’t remember who this person was, and he was a little unclear about what he was doing.

He looked out through the glass and saw only one person sitting outside.Xu Qiaochuan could only see that person, and the face began to become particularly clear.The nurse saw him hesitating by the door, looking around blankly, and said to him, “I’m waiting for you.”

Xu Qiaochuan heard it clearly, but couldn’t understand it.He took a deep breath before stepping out. Chen Zongqian came over to hold him as before.Xu Qiaochuan couldn’t break away from their entangled hands, and he couldn’t figure out why he didn’t reject them.

The hand squeezed him soothingly. Xu Qiaochuan felt nothing on his hand, but his heart was being tapped gently but not hard.

“Lie down and have a rest. I’ll buy breakfast.” Chen Zongqian said as usual. Xu Qiaochuan had been obedient and obedient in the past few times, but this time there was no response.Chen Zongqian was very patient and stroked his head, “Have a headache again?”

He responded, shaking his head and then nodding, not knowing what he meant.Xu Qiaochuan was sitting on the edge of the bed. His dangling leg kicked Chen Zongqian and one of his slippers fell off.He saw Chen Zongqian bend down to grab his ankle, shake off the other shoe, and lead his leg to the bed.

“I…” Xu Qiaochuan bent his legs and fell onto the bed as soon as his body’s center of gravity changed. He didn’t finish his words, so he lay down and hooked Chen Zongqian’s hand.He took a breath and pulled Chen Zongqian down with more force. The man leaned over slightly and looked at him, with one hand on the side of Xu Qiaochuan’s head. He rubbed over and rested his head on Chen Zongqian’s hand.

Chen Zongqian didn’t make any overstepping move, even though it was their most intimate move, when Xu Qiaochuan wanted to kiss.His father asked him to think clearly about what to do in the future and how to solve this problem while his brother was undergoing treatment.

It also asked him to re-examine his feelings. He was too indulgent and deceived himself and Xu Qiaochuan. If this abnormal love does not get back on track, when will his brother get better?

A drop of water rolled down from the corner of Xu Qiaochuan’s eyes. It was obvious that his face was very calm, not at all sad.Tears slid down her cheeks, fell into her hair, and hit the hand that Xu Qiaochuan was pillowing.He said: “I seem to have a cat…”

Marshal, Chen Zongqian stayed in the hospital almost all this time, and only returned home a few times. Marshal was temporarily sent to Yao Can.

“Like briquettes…” Xu Qiaochuan couldn’t remember the name of the cat and could only vaguely describe it.Chen Zongqian sighed imperceptibly, stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, and said that the cat was called Briquettes.

Xu Qiaochuan didn’t hear it, and his spirit began to wander again. Chen Zongqian covered his eyes, hoping that he would stop thinking about it and just wake up.He still had his eyes open, and Chen Zongqian could feel the wet eyelashes tickling his palms, creating an itching sensation that couldn’t be ignored.

“I like it so much…”

Chen Zongqian coaxed the person to sleep. He sat on the edge of the bed and watched Xu Qiaochuan frowning due to a headache. He felt sad and seemed to have synesthesia.He lowered his head in despair and leaned against Xu Qiaochuan’s hand on the hospital bed.

He felt that Xu Qiaochuan was talking about cats, and he knew that Xu Qiaochuan had almost forgotten cats.

——————-

MECT is not an amnestic technique. It affects people’s memory, but the effect is reversible and will slowly recover over time.Firstly, Xiaoqiao realized that he could not control himself and started to get violent and hurt others. Secondly, he hoped that during the treatment period, his spirit could be relaxed, re-establish a mental defense suitable for his survival, and return to the previous state where he could suppress related matters.
