Chapter 44 [Scholar's Syndrome, Psychomania]
That night, Guo Xu returned to East Lansing with the team, the school team is not as rich as the NBA team, and the players are not suitable to go to nightclubs to celebrate all night, so going home and sleeping is the right way.
Guo Xu returned to his familiar and unfamiliar home at half past one in the morning, which is a small European-style villa, with four bedrooms, two living rooms and three bathrooms, covered by lawns all around, and a variety of flowers and plants are carefully cultivated and pruned in front of and behind the house, which is very beautiful and environmentally friendly.
Coupled with the land area, Guo Xu's family has more than 1,600 square meters, and this does not mean that they belong to rich people. Searching his memory, he found that the house was less than $500,000 when he bought it, and he took out a down payment when his parents got married, and now he has paid off the loan, which is a good investment.
Guo Xu opened the door with the key, the light in the living room was on, and his parents, grandfather, and grandmother were still not resting, looking at him together.
"You haven't slept yet, aren't you sleepy?" Guo Xu walked over, put the travel bag on the table, and said with a smile: "It's just right, I brought back a gift." ”
He took out all the gifts, and there were no famous specialties in Polis, all he bought were small souvenirs and six Indiana pizza and beer for Blake Statham.
The wine is homemade in a Polis shop and is made from wheat husks, garlic, oregano, tomato, orchid and malt. It is currently only available in Indiana and has a unique taste.
Finally, he took the MOP trophy out of his bag and placed it on the table.
No one mentioned the game, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Father Guo Zhiping coughed and asked, "Xiao Xu, what's going on with you lately?" We all feel like you've changed a lot......"
Guo Xu said with a smile: "It was because of the elbow that I went to see a psychiatrist when I was in Polis, and the doctor said that I had 'acquired scholar syndrome'. ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a checklist from the outer layer of his bag.
During the time loop, Guo Xu called home many times and chatted with each family member, afraid that he would be seen as flawed in the future. It doesn't matter how suspicious the family is during the cycle, they won't remember these things, and he is not afraid of wasting phone bills. Many of the gifts he bought were things that the four of them liked after chatting.
Mother Kaye picked up the checklist and saw that some of Guo Xu's personality changes were written on it, as well as the analysis of the "doctor". Of course, this was forged by Guo Xu, just to deal with doubts in the future. The claim of this illness is still what Kaye guessed on the phone......
Some people who experience accidental brain trauma suddenly have a talent beyond the ordinary. There are indeed many such cases in the world, and some people in the United States began to study them more than 100 years ago and have some explanations for this phenomenon.
One is that the injury leads to compensatory enhancement of other local functions; The second is that the injured site originally had some inhibitory functions, and the destruction will lead to the enhancement of its original inhibitory functions.
For example, Connors, a teenager with no sense of music, in Denver, Colorado, USA, suddenly became a musical genius after an accidental brain impact caused a concussion, even if he couldn't even read musical scores, he could play guitar, piano, violin and other 13 musical instruments without a teacher. This phenomenon of Connors is medically known as "acquired scholar syndrome".
Acquired Scholar Syndrome is a special talent that suddenly develops in a child or adult after a left brain is damaged.
Kaye asked excitedly, "Is it like the movie "Rain Man"? But you seem to be much more cheerful now. There's no autism, and you're playing basketball...... It's not like a scholar. ”
In "Rain Man", Dustin Hoffman's "Rain Man" has a strong memory and performs amazingly in mathematics and calendar calculations, but due to his underlying autistic tendencies, he has serious cognitive and behavioral deficiencies.
Guo Xu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Doctors can't explain the human brain, anyway, I love to talk now, and when my body hasn't changed, my strength is much greater, I think it's great." You have such a serious expression, don't you like my dull look in the past? ”
Grandma Isabella spoke and said with a smile: "I think Jason is fine now, he didn't look like a child when he was a child, he didn't have any vitality at all, and he didn't invite dance partners to his high school prom." ”
Guo Xu said with a smile: "Grandma said well, now if I go to the high school prom, I can invite whoever I want, and the girls can fight for me." ”
The high school prom is very grand and elegant. Boys invite girls to participate in the final year of school to make the best and most memorable memories, when the annual King and Queen are also chosen. A photographer will come to take photos of the participating students and collect them as souvenirs.
Americans don't die by studying, and people who mix well in school should participate in more activities so that they can meet more friends. But there are always some people who lack vitality in life, have weak interpersonal relationships when they go to school, have no appreciation for their jobs after graduation, and can't find a girlfriend.
Guo Xu was obviously this kind of person in the past. If he was born in China, he might be called "real", as if his emotional intelligence is low, his morality will be much higher than that of an active person, he will not cheat in love, he will not cheat when he gets married, and he will become an honest model for a lifetime.
But in the United States, there are too few people who like "honest people". Most Americans think that people are afraid of change, most afraid of trouble, and do not have the ability to solve problems, and have no inner hesitation and decision. This kind of person is a natural loser, uncompetitive, and if anyone quarrels with him, he will also be clumsy and defeated.
Guo Xu's parents had long been worried about his future and thought about having another child, but unfortunately it didn't work out, and the second child was miscarried.
Now Guo Xu has become an existence that people look up to, he talks about the future, saying that he has found a good agent, and he will definitely be selected to participate in the NBA draft at the end of June.
The whole family felt that he had changed more than they had imagined, and in their opinion, they had only seen him for a week.
Guo Zhiping asked worriedly: "Are you in this situation...... There won't be any after-effects, right? ”
"Yes, the doctor said that I have been in a state of hyperactivity for a long time, and even more serious is psychomania, I can't be idle, I love to behave, and I can't help but want to talk trash and spray people. But I don't think it's a bad thing. ”
The four of ......them looked at each other, isn't this a bad thing? Sounds like a type of neurosis!
Mania is typically characterized by being relaxed and happy, feeling good about oneself, feeling that one's life is colorful, and that it is extremely happy and joyful. In addition, they will be energetic, have significantly increased activities and can't bear it, be busy all day long, and do things without a beginning or end.
Guo Xu pretended that this kind of patient was not stressed, and this reason was enough to explain why he suddenly became stronger. Excited, it broke out like taking a stimulant.
He used this kind of rhetoric in the time loop, and now his family says it's acceptable. Because Guo Xu speaks clearly, not like crazy, he has a cheerful personality after taking an elbow, and he can play in the NBA and make a lot of money, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
After chatting for a while, Guo Xu asked, "Do any of you want to participate in the championship parade the day after tomorrow?" No one went to the semi-finals to support me, so shouldn't there be no one to go this time? ”
Wai Laike smiled: "I have nothing to do, I must be there!" ”
