Chapter 48 Chapter Seven: The Cold of Winter Rain
A few days later, An Ran went to the hospital to deliver the key to Mencius. The night before, several men got so drunk at the bar that they even touched the keys by mistake.An Ran knocked on the door of Mencius's office, but there was no one.Didn't he have surgery today?An Ran went around in circles depressedly.She wasn't worried that Mencius had nowhere to go, but she couldn't get Mo Fei's key back, so An Jing had to open the door for him in the dark again.This lawyer actually gave Junze's key away, so why don't he go to their house to check the evidence?An Ran took out her mobile phone and wanted to track and locate it, but the mobile phone had no signal.Just as she was about to give up, someone behind her spoke.
"Are you looking for Dr. Meng?" The voice was a little erratic, and the heartstrings were played suddenly. Although a little startled, the shock was clear and beautiful.
Looking back An Ran, it was a woman as beautiful as snow and as gentle as jade.The white gown suits her very well. "I am a friend of Mencius, may I ask if he is in the hospital?"
"He's in a meeting. If you don't mind, you can wait for him in the hospital cafeteria."
"Is it convenient?" An Ran knew that it was only open to medical staff or their family members.
"You're his friend, of course it's okay." The woman smiled, but without the slightest warmth, "I'm going to eat, you can come together."
"Thank you then." An Ran had no reason to refuse, nor was it necessary.She followed the woman down the corridor and into the elevator.
"Doctor Xia," the nurse in the elevator called her, "go to eat?"
The woman didn't answer, and her expression remained unchanged, which could be said to be tranquil or indifferent.Doctor Xia?An Ran paid more attention to this title, could it be that Xia Dongyu?what a small world.
An Ran and Xia Dongyu each ordered a cup of coffee and a sandwich, and sat down by the window.The transparency of the glass reflects the two delicate faces more clearly.I can't see the eyebrows clearly, and I can't see the mutual suspicion and scrutiny in the eyebrows. The only thing that is certain is that there is no hostility between them.
"You don't seem to like to talk." An Ran put down the cup, and the crisp sound of clashing was the beginning of the conversation.
"Why do you say that?"
"The little nurse greeted you in the elevator just now, but you just smiled, and the smile was not warm."
"Did I laugh just now?" Xia Dongyu looked out the window, "Why don't I think so?"
"I can see." An Ran is not afraid of verbal confrontation, on the contrary, she is a master, "I can always see things that others cannot, including your smile."
"I just laughed and didn't talk in the elevator. Based on this, you made a judgment?"
An Ran shook her head, "It's the feeling, it feels like you are like floating ice on the water, the people around you are water, and you are the floating ice."
"We seem to have talked a lot." Xia Dongyu looked at An Ran, as if he had found a basis to overthrow "You don't like to talk".
An Ran didn't answer her, but gently put the cup down, "Excuse me." She got up, and walked towards the door of the restaurant, "Doctor, are you finally free to entertain me?"
Xia Dongyu was puzzled by her sudden departure when she saw Mencius smiling towards the woman.She saw the woman take out a bunch of keys, and Mencius took them with a smile.Xia Dongyu thought they would continue their conversation, but the woman waved goodbye quickly and disappeared around the corner of the restaurant's gate.At this time, Xia Dongyu thought that he still didn't know her name.
"What are you thinking about?" Mencius sat down in front of Xia Dongyu, moved An Ran's empty cups and saucers aside, and put his own.
"Who is she?" Xia Dongyu asked.
"Who?" Mencius buried himself in adding milk and sugar.
"The woman who gave you the keys."
Mencius raised his head, looked at Xia Dongyu, then looked back at the direction An Ran left, and continued to stir his coffee, "Brother's girlfriend is the one who is a policeman."
It turned out to be like this. "Is it Fu Junze or Situ Kang?" Xia Dongyu asked calmly.
Mencius was taken aback, she actually remembered their names.They are likely to be characters who never meet again. "What do you think?" Mencius asked her back.
Xia Dongyu didn't answer, picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth, then smiled politely, "Excuse me."
Mencius stared wide-eyed, followed Xia Dongyu's leaving figure and rolled his eyes, and followed his gaze to the corner of the restaurant's gate, just like Xia Dongyu watched An Ran leave just now.Compared with Xia Dongyu's sudden departure, Mencius is more curious about her questions about An Ran.Although Xia Dongyu is not enthusiastic about people, she is really good at dealing with unfamiliar interpersonal relationships, without being surprised or disturbed, without excessive intimacy, and without the arrogance of being rejected.Only she can grasp this speed.People like her can always stay out of the lives of strangers silently, at most just passing by, just watching.An Ran is her stranger, but the bystanders are silent.Her concern for An Ran had to make Mencius care.
Mencius returned to the office, poured himself a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, leaned on the sofa, rested his chin, and thought about something.Besides Xia Dongyu, he had other things to think about, about their classmate and colleague - Gu Yuzhai.Today's consultation is very important. The patient needs to open his mind. Although the plan has been determined, the possible danger must be analyzed and the treatment method must be determined.The doctors sitting around the long conference table took turns to speak, and it was very smooth and harmonious, and the occasional arguments were about the matter and not about the person.It wasn't until Gu Yuzhai's turn to speak that the conference room suddenly fell silent.
He remained silent.Everyone looked at him expectantly and strangely.Gu Yuzhai rarely behaved so quietly, and never showed such a painful expression.He opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter a word as if his throat was filled with lead.The lines on his face were out of shape, as if there was a pain spreading somewhere in his body.The Adam's apple moved, and it could be seen that his throat tightened intermittently, as if it was locked, and he couldn't make a sound.And in his eyes, there was a kind of fear that longed to hide.
"Yuzhai, are you okay?" Mencius called him, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Yuzhai looked at him, at the people waiting for answers around him, suddenly frowned, covered his mouth with his hands, kicked his legs away from the chair, got up and ran out of the conference room.Mencius felt that something was wrong and immediately followed him out.
In the bathroom, Gu Yuzhai gasped uncomfortably for the washbasin.The water splashed, splashed on the mirror, and splashed on his hands that supported his body.
"What's wrong with you?" Mencius looked at the flowing water, "vomited?"
"It's okay." Gu Yuzhai's complexion was very bad.
"Is there something wrong with your health?" Mencius asked with concern.
Gu Yuzhai was silent for a while, then turned off the tap, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
Mencius looked serious.
"It's just gastroenteritis." Gu Yuzhai suddenly relaxed, "Are you scared of me?"
"Are you really okay?" Mencius was dubious.
"It was caused by food poisoning," Gu Yuzhai said. "I need to rest and pay attention to my diet. I don't want to say it because I don't want to stop working. These operations are very important to me, and I don't want to give up."
"The accident of the last operation..." Mencius remembered the scratch on his hand.
"As I said, I can handle it." Gu Yuzhai looked at Mencius, "If it feels uncomfortable, I will control it, and I won't hurt the patient. Give me a chance, please."
Mencius stared into his eyes for a long time, then turned around and walked to the door, opened the door, "There will be a second round of consultation tomorrow, so prepare well."
Yes, he asked Gu Yuzhai to prepare well, this was his last resort.At least at this moment, he is still Gu Yuzhai's friend.He is a doctor, and Gu Yuzhai said a guarantee that the patient would not be hurt; he was Gu Yuzhai's friend, and Gu Yuzhai said begging words.Because of these two points, he can only doubt, not refuse.
In the second round of consultation, Gu Yuzhai performed perfectly.The brows are full of spirits, and the mouth is eloquent.Rather than saying that this is a round of consultation and discussion, it is better to say that it is Gu Yuzhai's personal speech show.I always feel that he is proving something to someone, his medical skills, his strength, or his control over himself, or even his control over the toxins left in his body.Mencius suddenly felt a little more hostility in Gu Yuzhai!Under the shadowy clouds, the doubts in his heart were buried deeper and deeper...
