Chapter Fifty-Three: Post-holiday Syndro
After coming back from the Four Seasons Manor to Yan Jin’s three-story villa in the city, Xiao Yu strongly felt like sothing was amiss.
Previously, he thought that this villa was in a great environnt with an advantageous location. However, after the visit to the Four Seasons Manor, Xiao Yu felt that the range of activity in this villa was too limited. Only after going through comparison can one analyze the problem from a guest’s perspective – land was extrely expensive in the urban district. Even with the wealth that Yan Jin had, he couldn’t possibly build a private manor in the city center. No matter how great the villa was, it could not compare to the Four Seasons Manor.
The mini artifact in the second story was still attractive to the hamster. However, for so reason, Xiao Yu constantly felt lethargic when he played in it.
The day they arrived ho, Xiao Yu was in a muddled state for the entire afternoon. At night, even when Yan Jin tried to tease him with lon seeds, Xiao Yu still couldn’t perk himself up.
Xiao Yu’s current hamster condition was quite puzzling to Yan Jin.
When Xiao Yu was still human, he would experience a similar ailnt that afflicted several others after every long vacation. They all had a common na –
Post-holiday syndro patients.
After a long vacation, the patients would feel lethargic in everything they do, with no appetite and an unwillingness to work.
Although Xiao Yu did not have much work to do normally, after such a ntally and physically relaxing experience, he regrettably fell victim to this post-holiday syndro.
Most of the veterinary clinics were closed during this long holiday period. However, Yan Jin was so worried about Xiao Yu’s condition that he planned to get the clinic owner to return.
Xiao Yu thought that it would be impossible for Yan Jin’s plan to go through, so the hamster kept the attitude of a bystander. Never had Xiao Yu thought that Chairman Yan would cover the return trip and successfully got the clinic owner, who was spending his vacation in a neighboring province, to co back. Even the veterinarian that Yan Jin had privatized was called back at the sa ti.
Xiao Yu, who had witnessed the whole incident, was once again sighing sorrowfully about how his world view was limited by poverty.
Speaking of which, it seed weird that Yan Jin would only display his overbearing chairman aura and act like soone from a television drama when it concerned Xiao Yu. On normal occasions, Xiao Yu could not notice Yan Jin’s foolishly rich characteristics.
Xiao Yu was forced to undergo a full body examination that very night. The results reported that aside from gaining one extra gram of the weight that he had painstakingly lowered, Xiao Yu’s body did not have any problems.
It was also perfectly normal for a human in the sa situation to have gained half a kilogram or more.
Yet discovering no problems made their headaches worse. If they discovered a problem, they could have fixed it accordingly. That caused Yan Jin to worry for two whole days, and he even started to consider finding a traditional Chinese dicine doctor to have a look.
If Xiao Yu knew what Yan Jin was thinking, the hamster would have laughed himself to death.
Traditional Chinese dicine? Had this fellow ever seen a TCM doctor before? Those doctors could only consult patients based on their complexion and feel their pulse, okay? How were they going to work on a hamster?
Feel his pulse? His two-milliter thick arms? Even if there were tendons and veins, how were they going to feel it?
Based on his complexion? Wasn’t it always the sa?
Based on his fur coat? Buying a certain breed of hamster from a certain xxxbao shop with the sa selling price may even get you ten hamsters with nine different color coats.
Thankfully, before Yan Jin could do such a crazy thing, Chu Ge, who was visiting on the last day of the holiday, hit the nail right on the head regarding the truth.
“What sickness could it be? From how I see it, your hamster got so accustod to that manor of yours that he’s rejecting this urban villa.” Chu Ge sloppily adjusted his fras as he concluded.
“Fishy wouldn’t...”
Just as Yan Jin was trying to stand up for his hamster, Xiao Yu nodded his head vigorously from the sidelines.
“Squeakkk!!” Yes, that’s it, that’s exactly what happened!
“Squeakk!!!” Stop looking for a doctor. If you continue to check, you’ll make a mountain out of a molehill!
Yan Jin: “......”
Chu Ge was glad: “See that? Fishy agreed to what I said. From how I see it, no appetite and reluctance to sleep are both symptoms of the post-holiday syndro. Did you two maintain your regular lifestyles at the manor?”
“We did sleep later than usual.” Yan Jin answered honestly.
During the ti they stayed at the manor, Yan Jin and Xiao Yu often cuddled together to count the stars in the middle of the night. The city’s pollution was worse, so it was hard to see the starry sky. Of course they would make full use of the rare opportunity – Yan Jin even specially brought a book about astronomy that they referred to as they viewed the stars.
As a forr human, Xiao Yu was equally full of zest.
“I’ve told people like you before not to live an extravagant life just because you’re young. Health is the asset for a revolution after all.” Whenever the topic concerned such matters, Chu Ge instantly returned to his main profession and transford into an earnest and well-aning doctor as he began to advise.
“Get to the point.” Yan Jin was obviously not keen.
Chu Ge choked for a mont before he reluctantly replied: “Among the young people who ca in for consultations after the long holiday, post-holiday syndro was seen quite commonly. Tell , have the symptoms reduced over these last two days?”
“It does seem better. At least he doesn’t spend all day lying around.”
“That’s it. That’s post-holiday syndro, no doubt. This is similar to how jet lag affects a person. It will naturally get better after so ti.”
Chu Ge concluded, then suddenly recalled sothing: “Coming to think of it, didn’t you go together? Do you have any problems?”
“?” Yan Jin hesitated for a mont.
After spending the last two days worrying about Xiao Yu, Yan Jin had not paid attention to his own condition.
“Nothing happened to . I did have a bit of insomnia when I thought about Fishy’s condition, but I took so sleeping pills last night.”
Chu Ge had a face that said, ‘I knew it’.
Yan Jin suddenly realized and answered: “You an, I have post-holiday syndro as well?”
“Well, probably not in this case. You probably just haven’t adjusted back to your regular schedule yet.” Chu Ge replied calmly: “Post-holiday syndro usually occurs in young white-collar office workers who are cautious and conscientious. As for you...”
“You can shut up now.” Yan Jin ended Chu Ge’s nonsense straightforwardly: “Is Fishy okay?”
Chu Ge felt helpless: “I’ve said before that I’m not a veterinarian. If you must seek my opinion, I prefer to believe in science. Since the report shows that everything is normal, then I will believe that there is no problem.”
“Plus, the spectator sees more of the ga. I feel that you’re too tense instead.” Chu Ge touched Xiao Yu as if they were best buddies: “Don’t you agree with , Brother Ham?”
Xiao Yu, who usually couldn’t find a common topic with Chu Ge, nodded his head in agreent this ti.
“Squeakk.” That’s exactly the case.
Yan Jin was still unwilling to give up and tried to confirm again: “There’s really no problem, Fishy?”
“Squeakk.” Really. More real than gold.
Xiao Yu nodded his head imdiately.
And that was how the entire incident finally ended after running around in circles.
That night, Yan Jin and Chu Ge went out for dinner, leaving the hamster Xiao Yu in the bedroom.
Yan Jin’s original idea was to let Xiao Yu have a proper rest and adjust himself back to normal. However, he made a big mistake –
Not putting away the iPad on the table.
Xiao Yu would definitely not go to bed obediently when electronic devices were readily available.
Xiao Yu, who had not played any gas for five whole days, could feel his skills dropping. The mont Yan Jin left ho, the hamster imdiately switched on the iPad and prepared to make full use of the remaining holiday.
Then, Xiao Yu, who had all his plans thought out, realized that he could not find his gas.
First swipe, nothing – Xiao Yu thought that he must have missed them. Second swipe, still nothing – Xiao Yu sensed sothing weird. Then ca the third swipe –
This ti, the hamster looked through all of the icons, but still could not find them.
... Where were his gas?
Xiao Yu had the shocking revelation that all the gas on the iPad were gone.
In that split second, Xiao Yu’s first reaction was that the iPad was in Yan Jin’s hands the whole ti. Yan Jin was the only person who could have deleted his gas. But why would Yan Jin delete his gas?
Could it be... he was discovered?
Wait, wait.
Xiao Yu forced himself to calm down and analyze the situation. If he really was exposed, then it was definitely impossible for Yan Jin to do nothing. The chairman would surely confront him face to face. Since Yan Jin did not have any special reaction, then it must have ant that Xiao Yu was not exposed.
Since he was not exposed, could Yan Jin have just casually deleted those gas?
At this mont, Xiao Yu’s brain went into overdrive – He quickly checked the iPad’s internal mory storage and just as he expected, there were less than 2GB left.
It was probably because Yan Jin thought that there wasn’t enough mory, so he deleted so apps to save the videos.
Hm, seems logical.
What a false alarm.
The other gas wouldn’t have mattered – Xiao Yu wasn’t playing those gas anymore. However, he still downloaded Toxic back onto his iPad.
After downloading the ga, Xiao Yu looked at the login screen and hesitated.
Previously, Yan Jin only touched the video apps and ignored the others. Xiao Yu did not expect that the chairman would suddenly ss with the other apps this ti.
However, because of the previous offense, Xiao Yu was now worried that Yan Jin would suddenly think about opening Toxic to play.
The problem was that this was his Toxic account. It was tied to his QQ, and his QQ account was Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both.
If Yan Jin was to find out about that...
If Xiao Yu simply stopped playing the ga, that would solve all of the problems once and for all. However, Xiao Yu honestly couldn’t bear to let go of his full five-star account. Hence, he could only try to find another way out.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu had a brilliant idea. Every ti after he finished playing, he would delete the ga. And when he played the ga again the next day, he could download it again. Wouldn’t that solve the problem?
Yan Jin’s internet speed was really fast – downloading a ga would only take a few minutes, so it was not too much trouble.
After coming up with a solution, Xiao Yu instantly relaxed.
The original plan to catch up during the holiday was thoroughly screwed. Seeing how today was the last day of the holiday, Xiao Yu’s road to becoming the best hero was endless and distant.
He had no choice but to hurry on and catch up regardless of how far he could get.
Nannan had ntioned that he would be back the day after tomorrow, so before that ti ca, Xiao Yu could focus on his ga without any distractions. That did not an that after Nannan ca back, he would not have ti to play the ga. However, the drawing for the exhibition display could only be done with Nannan’s assistance. Xiao Yu found it embarrassing to make soone else do his job while he was playing a ga.
Plus, there were no drafts or incomplete drawings this ti, only pure inspiration. Even Xiao Yu himself could not be sure whether he could express himself clearly, and he couldn’t ask Nannan to personally go look at the Four Seasons Manor.
Just the thought ant that they were in for a rough ride this ti. There was no way that Xiao Yu could play his ga at ease with this situation occupying his mind.
That night, Xiao Yu heard the commotion when Yan Jin ca back, reluctantly closed the ga, and hit the uninstall button.
