Internship at a Mental Hospital
“Mu Anan, Chen Hua, you will be interns at Blue Sky Mental Hospital.”
When the homeroom teacher announced this, the class was silent for three seconds before they burst into mocking laughter.
“Blue Sky Mental Hospital? Oh my, I’ll go. It’s so exciting.”
“Top faculty student, assigned to a mental hospital. Wow, wow.”
“Well, able people get more work!”
The mockery was endless but Mu Anan was expressionless. Chen Hua, on the other hand, had a very unpleasant expression.
After all, it wasn’t a good place.
A mental hospital…
It was the place that no medical students wanted to go for their internships!
There were no future prospects, and they wouldn’t get the best reputation.
Their bodies and minds would also be tortured after going there.
Past medical students who interned at mental hospitals mostly chose to drop out of school a few days into their internship. For those whose families were able, they would go to another place for their internship.
In short, nothing would end well.
Chen Hua grabbed Mu Anan’s arm and said worriedly, “Anan, this can’t be right. No matter what, you’re the top student in our year. Why would they send you to this place? Didn’t the homeroom teacher speak to you about First Affiliated Hospital?”
“I don’t know. Maybe I was just placed.” Mu Anan was still relatively calm.
Chen Hua hesitated. “Why don’t we ask the teacher?”
“Teacher, do you think we can change our internship placement?”
Chen Jiali suddenly asked the homeroom teacher at the podium, interrupting Chen Hua’s question to Mu Anan.
The homeroom teacher frowned and was about to answer when Chen Jiali added, “I’m just worried that someone will come to you and ask for a change. If it’s possible to change, I would also like to change my placement. I’d really like to give the mental hospital a try.”
Chen Jiali started laughing after she finished speaking. It was obvious that she was mocking Mu Anan.
Whenever Chen Jiali saw Mu Anan now, she would grit her teeth in hatred, almost to the point of bleeding.
After Chen Jiali spoke, someone decided to join in, and the class started jeering.
“Yeah, I want to change too. I want to try too. Teacher, I’d like to change…”
“Teacher, me too.”
“Me, me, me. I’d like to change!”
“…”
The homeroom teacher’s expression turned unpleasant when the jeering started.
“What change? The placements have been decided. If you’re unwilling, you can just not go. But I have to remind you that this would affect your graduation. It’s up to you whether you will graduate!”
The class fell silent immediately when the homeroom teacher said this.
Chen Jiali snorted cold as she looked in the direction of Mu Anan and Chen Hua. She then said deliberately, “Oh, that’s too bad. Chen Hua, please have fun and enjoy your experience at the mental hospital for all of us.”
Chen Hua was very angry. She turned her head and wanted to scold Chen Jiali, but when she saw Chen Jiali glaring at her, she cowered.
She was too nice and did not have any unyielding qualities.
When Chen Hua cowered and turned her head back, Mu Anan, who had been calm all this while, turned her head, and glared coldly in Chen Jiali’s direction.
When the smug Chen Jiali saw Mu Anan’s glare, she immediately felt a pain in her neck. The disgust of having her head pressed into the toilet bowl rose in an instant, and she immediately shrank back.
Mu Anan retracted her gaze.
After a round of jeering, the class finally regained some peace.
The homeroom teacher explained the details of their internship. After their placements were announced, they would report for work the next day at their assigned locations.
This was their first group internship, so there were many things to take note of.
Mu Anan lost interest after hearing several notes.
She actually had no qualms about interning at a mental hospital. After all, it was all within her profession. Moreover, she had never been exposed to mental illnesses, so she was quite curious.
She wanted to know how these patients who were diagnosed with various mental illnesses lived in their own world.
But it was a completely different feeling to go there voluntarily because of interest versus being sabotaged to intern there.
Just as Mu Anan was thinking about this, Chen Hua secretly poked her. “Anan, we’ve been sabotaged…”
Mu Anan lowered her eyes, her gaze a little cold.
Chen Hua didn’t notice Mu Anan’s reaction as she was busy chatting with someone on her phone. She just said, “I met a senior on the forum, who helped the teachers manage our third-year internships. She told me that we were originally placed at First Affiliated Hospital, but our placements were later changed on instruction of the school administrator.”
“The only person who can make the school administrator do this is Jiang Qin, the genius goddess.”
“Anan, tell me. Why are these people bullying us like this?”
The more Chen Hua spoke, the angrier she got. When Mu Anan looked up at Chen Hua, her eyes were red as she continued, “I know Jiang Qin’s family is powerful. She’s the young miss of the top pharmaceutical company in Jianglan City. But even so, she can’t bully people like this.”
“We have neither power nor influence, and we’re not good-looking. Does that mean that we will always be bullied by others?”
Chen Hua couldn’t hold it in anymore. After saying that, she collapsed on the table and cried silently.
The homeroom teacher at the podium was almost done with the instructions and was about to leave when Mu Anan nudged Chen Hua.
“Do you want to embarrass yourself?”
“Not at all.” Chen Hua felt wronged.
Mu Anan was very calm and collected as she reminded Chen Hua, “The homeroom teacher has already said that the details of the internship will be emailed to us. Let’s pack up and be ready to leave. Once the teacher leaves, those people will come over and harass us, especially Chen Jiali. Chen Hua, do you want to be embarrassed?”
Mu Anan’s words were heart-wrenching.
Chen Hua, who had been crying and complaining about the injustice of fate, suddenly stiffened.
“If you don’t want to be bullied, the first thing you must do is straighten your back.”
Mu Anan turned her head and looked at the dumbfounded Chen Hua expressionlessly. She smiled and said, “If you can’t even straighten your back, aren’t you just giving others the opportunity to bully you?”
Chen Hua stared blankly at Mu Anan.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt as if Mu Anan was glowing. She subconsciously listened to Mu Anan and straightened her back.
After the homeroom teacher told them to take the afternoon off to prepare for their internship, Mu Anan said, “Grab your bag and let’s go.”
Chen Hua was very obedient. She grabbed her bag, straightened her back, and left with Mu Anan.
Some people wanted to come over and mock them, but for some reason, they did not dare to go forward when they saw Mu Anan’s expressionless face. They just watched the two of them leave.
Chen Jiali was still holding a grudge against Mu Anan for what happened in the toilet. She wanted to teach Mu Anan a lesson, but for some reason, her neck hurt as soon as she saw Mu Anan, and she shivered.
Chen Jiali subconsciously looked at her backer, Jiang Qin.
However, Jiang Qin seemed to be distracted since she came to class. She had been staring at her phone and Chen Jiali didn’t dare to disturb her.
…
After leaving the classroom, Chen Hua felt like she was in a trance. She had never felt like this before.
She ignored others’ gazes and walked out of the classroom with her shoulders squared.
She couldn’t see other people’s mocking and disdainful gazes sweeping over her.
Chen Hua was pleasantly surprised. “Anan, what kind of magic is this…”
Mu Anan ignored her. She stared at the gloomy sky from the corridor and frowned.
“Rumble!”
With two muffled sounds of distant thunder, a heavy downpour fell without warning.
“It’s raining, he… He won’t be able to make it back…” Mu Anan was a little worried.
Chen Hua did not understand. “Anan, what did you say? What do you mean by ‘he won’t be able to make it back’? Is someone in your family travelling?”
