I’m Really Scared
Chapter 193: The Mountain is Full of Flowers

Guan Shan was stunned when he heard this. Pointing at himself, he was utterly confused: “Medical records? Mine?”

He hadn't expected that the important matter Lu Qiuqiu mentioned would be this.

Guan Shan knew his own health condition well enough.

Even before getting the simulator, though he wasn't in the best shape, he was never seriously ill.

If he was never sick, where would the medical records come from?

Moreover, Lu Qiuqiu was a psychiatrist… Did he have a mental illness at some point?

Shen Dinghua glanced at the medical records and showed no reaction, as if she didn’t take it seriously. She turned to Guan Shan with a smile and teased, “Xiao Shan, you wouldn't really…”

Guan Shan quickly took the page and said, “How could it be? Dr. Lu is from Sacred Heart Hospital…”

The implication was that she treated mental illnesses, not other diseases.

Shen Dinghua tilted her head, showing a curious expression: “But… Xiao Shan never went to Sacred Heart Hospital before, right?”

“I’m also confused… but I trust Dr. Lu wouldn’t lie.”

Guan Shan said quietly, then looked at the medical record in his hand.

Lu Qiuqiu had no reason to lie, and she wouldn't be foolish enough to fabricate something so easily debunked. There had to be more to it.

The old medical record was incomplete, not only a single page but also partially burned, with many words missing.

But the basic information of the patient was still legible.

The name, ID, and age matched Guan Shan's.

Guan Shan’s expression grew serious, especially as he remembered that during that period, he had taken a leave of absence from school due to his parents’ accident.

That half year in his memory was indeed a blur, almost entirely hazy.

But this was normal; the human brain had a limit to how much information it could store. Asking someone to recall a specific period from the previous year would likely yield few meaningful details, let alone something from six years ago.

However, saying he was hospitalized then was pure nonsense…

Even if Guan Shan didn’t remember, if it were true, Shen Dinghua would have known!

But the medical record in his hand didn’t seem fake…

Guan Shan’s gaze moved to the doctor's signature at the end. Though the handwriting was messy, he could vaguely make out the character “Lu.”

Guan Shan’s eyes widened as he connected the dots with Lu Qiuqiu's earlier questions, his thoughts sparking like static electricity.

“Lu… Lu Mingyi?”

He looked up sharply, staring at Lu Qiuqiu: “The person who wrote this medical record is your father!”

“That’s why you kept asking if I knew your dad…”

Lu Qiuqiu nodded, helplessly: “But you don’t, and my dad has no memory of you either.”

She pointed to the medical record: “I found this while organizing old records. It was uncovered from the rubble on the night Sacred Heart Hospital collapsed.”

“Since the hospital transitioned to electronic records years ago, that records room hadn’t been used in three to four years. Only cleaning staff went in, so the possibility of tampering is very low.”

Guan Shan understood… He could take this page to the logistics team for authentication.

Guan Shan grimaced, considering a treatment where neither the primary doctor nor the patient remembered anything.

If the record were fake, it would be a very poorly constructed lie.

But if it were real…

Lu Qiuqiu looked at Guan Shan: “I know it seems absurd, but…”

She hesitated, glancing at Shen Dinghua.

“Alright, no need to say more, I get it.”

In this situation, there was only one possibility: an Esper was involved! Guan Shan sighed, rubbing his forehead. He moved past the topic, putting down the medical record, and looked at the other documents and the video tape on the table: “What about these?”

Lu Qiuqiu said, “These are records of other patients treated at the same time, given to me by my father. This request was a breach of protocol, so please keep it confidential…”

“If this still doesn’t help, my dad had a student back then named Zhou Ruhai. He assisted during that period but later went abroad for a classified project. You might want to contact him.”

So dedicated, breaking rules for a life-saving favor…? Guan Shan sincerely thanked Lu Qiuqiu, declined her invitation to stay for a meal, and left with Shen Dinghua, carrying the documents.

Lu Qiuqiu sat at the table, lost in thought, feeling somewhat disappointed.

---

“Dr. Lu seems to have feelings for you,” Shen Dinghua teased, smiling slyly as soon as they returned home. “Xiao Shan, you’re so heartless.”

Guan Shan ruffled her hair, exasperated: “I’m not heartless. If anyone should be heartless now, it’s you.”

Shen Dinghua feigned surprise, tilting her head: “I thought Xiao Shan was too dense to notice.”

Guan Shan pinched her cheek, amused: “I’m not a blockhead.”

The age-old trope of hero saving the damsel often sparked romance.

Lu Qiuqiu's dedication clearly exceeded the level of mere gratitude, especially inviting him to her home this time.

Shen Dinghua smiled at him: “Exactly. You’re not a blockhead; you’re a mountain, a mountain full of flowers.”

Guan Shan frowned: “How are they planted?”

Internally, he mused that if anything, he should be the one planting her…

Shen Dinghua tiptoed and gently bit his cheek, leaving neat teeth marks.

“Ow…”

Shen Dinghua dashed to her house, laughing: “Like this!”

Guan Shan sighed, touching the mark on his face: “It’ll disappear soon.”

He felt a twinge of regret for not grabbing Shen Dinghua and giving her a taste of being “planted full of flowers.”

With Shen Dinghua gone, Guan Shan looked at the documents, frowning.

Although the medical record seemed absurd, it involved a period following his parents' deaths. Shen Dinghua would have known and asked, especially since she seemed slightly concerned.

It was as if she was avoiding something…

Guan Shan shook his head, dismissing his doubts. Shen Dinghua likely sensed he and Lu Qiuqiu were hiding something and chose to give him space.

“Esper… If it involves an Esper, why do this?”

Guan Shan pondered. He didn’t mind if he had been treated at Sacred Heart Hospital.

Losing both parents overnight was a massive blow for a high schooler, making a mental breakdown understandable. But now he was fine, so he must have recovered. No need to dwell on it.

The question was, why hide his hospitalization?

What was the need for secrecy about a high schooler?

“Unless… he got entangled in an Esper-related incident.”

Guan Shan’s eyes narrowed as he took out the video tape, setting up his old VCR to watch it.
