Secret Love Nest 2018

Little Mister Sunshine pt2

Doctor: What do you like to eat, Dayu?

Me: Regular food.

Doctor: Specifically?

Me: Meat. Pork and beef. I love some chicken curry too. I am not that in love with rice.

Doctor: (scribbling on his note) Desert?

Me: I like sweets but I am doing a project so I am holding myself back on too much sugar intake.

Doctor: But you like sweets? If you are not dieting or doing any projects, what's you regular intake of sugar in a day?

Me: (unsure) One bar of chocolate. A small box of cookies. Maybe three cupcakes. I can eat four if it's chocolate or lemon custard cupcakes but I have to run on the treadmill the next day.

Doctor: (smiling at me) I understand. Sleep? How many hours do you allot yourself to rest?

Me: (scrunching my face) Five to six hours. (Wincing) If I can...

Doctor: Five to six hours if you can. And if you cannot?

Me: (giving a guilty glance on Qing) Two?

Qing: (not happy by that answer) Two? Are you sure?

Actually, two is being generous. Sometimes I only nap for one hour. Or several naps. Or even if I sleep for five, it's usually a fretful sleep.

Huh? I think I am not sleeping well these past few days.

(You think?)

Me: (sounding more sure) Two.

I avoided looking at Qing. In case he noticed that I am lying.

Doctors: (scribbling) I see. Water? It is hot nowadays. Are you drinking enough water?

Ah...this I am confident.

Me: (smiling) Of course! I drink ten to twelve glasses of water.

Doctor: Cold water?

Me: (smile melting) Does it have to be cold water?

I am not fond of cold water. I am a singer. I want to take good care of my throat and voicebox.

Qing: (sighing) Oh boy.

Doctor: (sighing as well) Relaxation? What do you do to relax?

Me: Play computer games. Do videos for fans. Social media.

Doctor: (Scribbling again) I see.

What does he saw? I look at Qing, who is sitting beside me. He patted my hand and smiled at me. I smiled back at him.

After writing on his note, the Doctor smiled at me.

Doctor: What worries you the most, Dayu?

Oh tough question. Qing asked this one last night too. But while it's easy to confess to my lover, I am more reluctant to talk to a stranger.

Me: Nothing much.

Qing: (disapproving sound) Dayu ah. I thought we talked about this. You said you will be honest to the doctor.

Doctor: No, Mr.Wang. Let him. (Smiling at me) I know some people find it hard to open up to doctors who are practically strangers to them. This is your first visit. I will worry more if Dayu is talkative. This is fine. Take your time, Dayu. Look for the words and then tell them to me. Even if you have to go slow. I will understand.
