Qian initially thought this was just a regular call from someone in a bad mood, but when she heard the little girl say she hadn't slept for three days, she immediately focused her attention.
"Little sister, have you encountered anything unpleasant recently?"
"Not really anything special, but my mood has been very heavy. I try hard to make myself fall asleep every day, but no matter how I count sheep with my eyes closed in bed, it doesn't help. Even taking medicine doesn't work…"
Qian knew right away that this wasn't like the emotional garbage she encountered on her show.
"Apart from this, do you have any other unusual symptoms?"
"Nothing really unusual, perhaps there is... but I don't want to say."
Insomnia + reluctance to talk about her sadness, or rather, not knowing where to start, these two signs already gave Qian a bit of a hunch.
"Is there anything that makes you happy? How's your appetite?" she continued to ask.
