Chapter 44 [Scholar Syndrome, Mental Mania]
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 for nightclubs to celebrate all night. Going home and sleeping is the right way.
Guo Xu returned to his familiar and unfamiliar home at 1:30 in the morning. This is a small European-style villa with four bedrooms, two living rooms and three bathrooms. It is surrounded by lawns. Various flowers and plants are carefully cultivated and trimmed in front and back of the house. It is very beautiful and environmentally friendly.
With the land area, Guo Xu's family has more than 1,600 square meters, which does not mean that they belong to rich people. Searching memory, he found that when he bought the house, he paid less than 500,000 US dollars, and when his parents got married, they moved in with a loan and had paid off the down payment. They have paid off the loan, which is a good investment.
Guo Xu opened the door with the key, and the lights in the living room were on. My parents, grandpa and grandma had not yet rested, so they looked at him together.
"You are not sleepy yet, aren't you sleepy?" Guo Xu walked over, put his travel bag on the table, and smiled and said, "It just so happened that I brought back the gift."
He took out all the gifts. Polis had no famous specialties. He bought small souvenirs and pizza beer with six Indiana specialties brought to Black Statham.
The wine is made in a Polis store and is made from wheat husks, garlic, oregano, tomatoes, ore aroma and malt. Currently only in Indiana can taste it, and the taste is unique.
Finally, he took out the MOP trophy from his bag and placed it on the table.
No one mentioned the game, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. His father Guo Zhiping coughed and asked, "Xiaoxu, what's going on with you recently? We all think you have changed a lot..."
Guo Xu smiled and said, "It was because I was hit by an elbow. When I was in Polis, I went to see a psychiatrist. The doctor said I had 'acquired a scholar' syndrome'."
As he said that, he took out a checklist from the outer layer of the bag.
During the time cycle, Guo Xu called home many times and chatted with each family, for fear of being seen in the future. No matter how suspicious the family was during the cycle, it didn't matter. He wouldn't remember these things, and he was not afraid of wasting phone bills. Many of the gifts he bought were things that the four of them liked after the chat.
My mother Kaiyi picked up the checklist and saw some changes in Guo Xu's personality and the analysis of the "doctor". Of course, this was forged by Guo Xu, so she could deal with doubts in the future. The statement of this disease was still guessed by Kaiyi on the phone...
Some people suddenly have talents beyond ordinary people after encountering accidental brain trauma. There are indeed many such cases in the world. Some people began to study them more than 100 years ago in the United States and have some explanations for this phenomenon.
First, it is believed that damage leads to compensatory enhancement of functions in other places; second, the damage site originally had certain inhibitory functions, which will lead to the strengthening of its original inhibitory function after it is destroyed.
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 though he couldn't even understand the music score, he could play 13 instruments such as guitar, piano, and violin without a teacher. This phenomenon of Connors is called "acquired scholar syndrome" in medicine.
Acquired scholar syndrome refers to the special talents that children or adults suddenly develop after their left brain is damaged.
Kay asked excitedly: "Is it like the movie "Rain Man"? But you seem to be much more cheerful now. You are not autistic, and you are playing basketball... It's not like a scholar."
In "Rain Man", Dustin Hoffman plays "Rain Man" has a strong memory and performs amazingly in mathematics, calendar calculations, etc., but due to his potential autism tendency, he has serious defects in cognitive and behavioral aspects.
Guo Xu shrugged and smiled, "The doctor can't explain the human brain. Anyway, I'm becoming more talkative now. With my figure still not changing, I have become much stronger. I think it's great. You have such a serious expression. Don't you like the dull look in the past, right?"
Grandma Isabella spoke and smiled, "I think Jason is pretty good now. He was not like a child when he was a child, and he had no energy at all. He did not invite a dance partner at the high school prom."
Guo Xu smiled and said, "Grandma said it well. Now if I attend a high school dance, I will invite anyone I want to invite, and the girls can fight for me."
The high school graduation prom is very grand and exquisite. The boys invite girls to participate, leaving the most beautiful and unforgettable memories in the last year of the school. At that time, the annual King and Queen will be selected. Photographers will take photos of the students participating and receive them as a souvenir after the end.
Americans are not just studying. People who do 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 one appreciates their work after graduation, and cannot find a girlfriend.
Guo Xu was obviously such a person in the past. If he was born in China, he might be called "reality". It seemed that if his emotional intelligence was low, his morality would be much higher than that of active people. He would not cheat in love, and would not cheat in marriage, and would become an honest model of honest people who would make a lifelong contribution.
But in the United States, there are too few people who like "honest people". Most Americans think that dull people are afraid of change, most afraid of trouble, and do not have the ability to solve problems, and they are hesitant and have no decision-making ability. Such people are born losers and have no competitiveness. If anyone quarrels with him, they will be stupid and lose in a mess.
Guo Xu's parents had long been worried about his future and thought about having another child, but unfortunately they failed and the second child had a miscarriage.
Guo Xu has become a person who is looking up to him now. He talks about the future and says he has found a agent and will definitely be selected for the NBA draft at the end of June. He is always full of confidence and is completely different from the past.
The whole family felt that he had changed more than he thought. In their opinion, he had only been seeing him for a week.
Guo Zhiping asked worriedly: "Your situation... will not have any sequelae, right?"
"Yes, the doctor said that I was in a state of hyperpsychiatric for a long time. If it is more serious, I am mentally irritated. I can't help but want to say trash words and squirt 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? It sounds like a kind of crazy!
A typical manifestation of mania is relaxed and happy, feeling good about oneself, feeling that his life is colorful, extremely happy and happy. In addition, he will be energetic, significantly more activities and cannot bear it, he will be busy all day long, and he will do things without end.
Guo Xu pretended that a patient was not stressed, and this reason was enough to explain why he suddenly became stronger and excited, and it exploded like taking stimulants.
In the time loop, he used this kind of argument, and now his family also said he could accept it. Because Guo Xu spoke clearly and did not look like he was crazy, he became cheerful and could make a lot of money by playing in the NBA, which was a blessing in disguise.
After chatting for a while, Guo Xu asked: "Whoever is willing to participate in the championship parade the day after tomorrow? No one went to support me in the semi-finals. Could it be that no one has gone this time?"
