In my memories, I was just a college student studying computer science. At that time, Yang Ren's teeth were broken a lot, so soon, he and Xu Yao met again in the hospital.

This time, it was an elderly female doctor who saw him. Compared with other patients, they would trust experienced doctors more. Yang Ren still hoped to meet the cold but young and promising Dr. Xu.

This time, only a tooth with a hole was filled, so there was no pain after the tooth extraction. Yang Ren took the medical record book and walked slowly in the corridor, thinking that he had finally called for sick leave. Make good use of the rest of the day.

Whether it was fate or coincidence, he walked to the door of Xu Yao's clinic unknowingly, and he didn't know it until Xu Yao came out of it. If he was asked to go directly to this clinic, it would be impossible to find it.

This time the four eyes met, so that even the most indifferent people had to face each other, and finally caught Dr. Xu's eyes, Yang Ren felt a little proud, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Dr. Xu for pulling my teeth last time, you stitched The technology is amazing and the healing is so fast.”

Xu Yao's eyes were fixed on his mouth, which made him suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. After Yang Ren finished speaking and stopped, Xu Yao still did not speak, but slowly took off his mask, the atmosphere was awkward for a time.

Touching his nose to cover up this embarrassment, Yang Ren could only smile flatly: "Don't you remember me? You are a noble person who forgets things too much."

After waiting for a while, Xu Yao suddenly smiled and said slowly: "How could I forget you, you are the only adult boy I have met who still shivers after having a tooth pulled."

Yang Ren felt embarrassed, and his face was slightly warm. He wanted to say something to change the subject, and said, "You are so interesting, but I called you when the stitches were removed last time, and you ignored me."

It was like a jet lag, every time Yang Ren finished speaking, he had to wait for a while to hear Dr. Xu's response. To his surprise, he heard Dr. Xu say, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry. The ears are not very good."

"Bad ears? Can you still be a doctor?" Yang Ren blurted out these words unexpectedly.

After reacting for a while, Xu Yao showed a good-looking smile: "Isn't it also a white coat for the eyes that are not good for acupuncture and massage?"

"Hahaha." Yang Ren was amused again.

After laughing a few times, he calmed down, and only then did he realize that Dr. Xu's slow response might really have something to do with inability to hear, and since the two of them talked to the present, they were very close to each other, and they were already very close. Beyond the distance that two unfamiliar people should keep when talking, Dr. Xu always stretched his neck subconsciously when he was talking, probably because of his bad ears.

Seeing that Yang Ren stopped talking and looked thoughtful, Dr. Xu said, "What? Are you afraid of having a doctor like me pull your teeth out for you?"

"No, no." Yang Ren waved his hands again and again, for fear of causing him a misunderstanding.

After a few more conversations, Yang Ren planned to leave. For some unknown reason, he wanted to make a good impression in front of this doctor.

He went up and shook Dr. Xu's hand, raised his head and said, "Then if I call you next time and you don't hear me, I'll go and pat you, won't you be angry?"

Xu Yao watched him speak seriously. When the words fell, he had to react. He probably understood what he meant, and then said, "Is there another time? I hope your teeth are healthy and don't have the chance to meet next time. "

Both of them laughed and waved their hands as a farewell greeting. Dr. Xu put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, and walked away with his chest raised up. Yang Ren stayed where he was, looking at Dr. Xu who was walking away, he didn't even notice. I like Dr. Xu's blessing on his teeth, and I even thought that it would be good if the teeth still hurt, so that I can see him again.

Sure enough, Yang Ren's teeth were very good, and it was less than ten days before they started to hurt again, but this time they changed one, and when I looked in the mirror, I could see that it was black again. It must have been caries again because I ate too much sweetness. .

This time, the footsteps of going to the hospital did not seem to be heavy anymore. Yang Ren ran to the hospital to register and directly called for Dr. Xu's number. But the registered doctor told him that it was impossible for Dr. Xu's number to arrive on the same day, and the line was already full.

Yang Ren was very unwilling, so he endured the toothache and waited in line. It seemed that Dr. Xu had died.

This week of enduring pain at home has been really hard. I can't eat much every day, and my body seems to have a tendency to lose weight. The toothache was getting worse and worse, and finally even the cheek on one side was swollen.

Every night when he was rolling on the bed with a toothache, Yang Ren only had the clear brand name in his mind: Xu Yao.
