Rebirth Plan to Save Leader

Chapter 78 Part 3

Zhang Man leaned against the youth’s chest, reaching up to play with his hair.

“Hey, boyfriend, have you seen them recently?”

She spoke vaguely, but knew he would understand.

Before he could answer, she added another sentence. “No lying.”

The youth put a kiss on her forehead. “… yeah, I can still see them occasionally.”

Zhang Man’s heart tightened, she turned around, and stared at him. “Didn’t you say last time that you are basically okay? No, no, I will accompany you to the hospital for a check-up after this trip.”

He shook his head. Perhaps because of the dazzling sunlight, he squinted his eyes. “Man Man, I may not get better, and I may see them in the future, but that’s okay. The amount of times it happens is very low, and I rarely lose control now. It’s okay. If I see them, I will treat them as if they don’t exist.”

He could feel that his condition was gradually improving.

A few months ago, he still had to struggle constantly to wake up from his delusions. He occasionally couldn’t distinguish reality from illusion.

But after repeated psychotherapy, self-hypnosis, and psychological endurance before going to bed every day, now, most of the time, the moment he saw them, he could tell in his mind that they were different from his Man Man. They were not real.

So even if they were still there, he could try to ignore them and treat them as air.

He knew that it was unrealistic to completely cure delusions, and the current level of medical treatment available could not reach this goal at all. So this was probably the best situation for now.

That day, the Wednesday before the final exam, he went to the hospital for psychological treatment for the last time.

After a series of examinations, the doctor happily told him that his mental state was very good, and even his symptoms of depression had basically disappeared.

After the doctor announced the result of the diagnosis, she was very surprised. She said that whether it was his mental illness or psychological illness, he recovered much faster than she thought. She thought it would be a long and hard battle for him, but he unexpectedly got through it all and regained control.

He closed his eyes and smiled, but didn’t speak.

All of this was possible because of the girl he loved the most. She gave him boundless courage, and she gave him the meaning to live.

For a long time, he felt that he was a weak and incompetent coward, and he was afraid of many things. He was afraid of his world view collapsing, he was afraid of not being able to distinguish between reality and illusions, and he was even more afraid of hurting her.

So he was afraid and unable to move forward.

—However, she never gave up on him in that darkness.

Even if he wanted to give up on himself, she never gave up on him.

The youth’s hands trembled slightly, and he put his arms around the girl beside him. At this moment, he kissed her deeply.

“Man Man, from now on, I can always be by your side.”

You have dreamed of going to many places with me, and I never replied.

From now on, starting from the warm as spring Sanya during this winter, I will accompany you to see the continuous spring rain in Jiangnan, the intoxicating spring breeze in Lake Baikal, the loess plateau full of sand, and the gentle and sentimental banks of the Seine River.

I want to be with you until your hair is gray, and be with you to watch the world move through life.

With you, forever.

…

Eighteen years later. Sweden, Stockholm.

The weather in this Nordic country with a higher latitude was not very good. There was light rain in the sky, and it was cold and cloudless.

The rain fell silently into the huge Lake Mälaren, and flowed into the Baltic Sea along the current of the lake.

This evening, at the Stockholm City Hall, the annual Nobel Prize dinner was held as scheduled.

The dignified and elegant huge award stage was covered with a thick dark blue carpet, like the deep starry sky. The entire city hall was decorated with exquisite flowers that had just been shipped from Sanremo, Italy. Every part of the award stage was being filmed live by TV stations from various countries.

In the audience, there were hundreds of people, including many Nobel Prize winners, members of the Swedish royal family, and famous people from various fields of politics, business, and academia. It was everyone who was a big name in the world. They were sitting in the audience, quietly waiting for the start of this grand ceremony.

The chairman of the Nobel Prize Foundation, a blond European biologist and former Nobel Prize winner in medicine, delivered the opening speech of the award ceremony.

After the representatives of the Nobel Prize Selection Committee introduced the research fields and personal achievements of the winners, His Majesty, King of Sweden, awarded the Nobel Prize certificates, medals and award money to each winner. Five awards for a total of less than ten people. These ten people, with everyone watching, stood at the top of humanity’s wisdom and human civilization.

Everything was carried out solemnly and with dignity, and these people were using the ceremony to pay tribute to the wonders of scientific knowledge.

The first to be awarded was the Nobel Prize in Physics. The leading Chinese scientist was the youngest among the Nobel Prize winners this time. When he came on stage, his handsome face and tall stature caused many famous people in the audience to exchange whispers.

An extremely young theoretical physicist who has made great breakthroughs in the field of physics research, calmly received the medal and certificate from the king. He stepped forward, and stood in front of the stage.

He made the acceptance speech that every winner who came to accept the award must deliver.

This young man from Asia stood under the bright spotlight and in front of countless cameras from various countries, wearing a suit and leather shoes. He was confident and determined. Time didn’t seem to have made a mark on his face. With this serenity and steadiness, he still looked like the youth with the universe and stars in his eyes.

In the last part of his acceptance speech, the world-renowned scientist turned his gaze to the young woman sitting in the front row. She had her mouth covered as tears fell from her emotions.

He looked at her and smiled slightly, just like in the past many years ago.

It was like his voice was whispering in her ear affectionately.

“We are all in darkness, but some of us are looking at the stars. Everyone in this world is suffering from something that others will never know. I survived because of two essential things in my life: physics and her. Physics gave me the ability to think rationally in the darkness, and she gave me my light.”
