Xun Yuming was talking well, but suddenly his face turned red.
Zhuang Yi glanced at the screen suspiciously, put away the phone without changing his face, and said: "I forgot to change the previous note. Just call him. I have something else to do. Cough... let's go first."
"Wait a moment!"
Since the reunion, Xun Yuming has been in a position of being suppressed by him, but now he is turning against the guest and has the upper hand in an instant.
He couldn't help asking: "Why don't you give me psychological counseling? Aren't you the best?"
Before today, he wasn't sure whether he should ask, because the answer could be imagined, nothing more than "I don't want to consult you" or "I don't want to have any contact with you".
However, seeing that remark, Xun Yuming was a little undecided, he was vaguely looking forward to something, and his heart was pounding.
Zhuang Yi turned his head, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Professional rules, I can't consult people close to me, I'm sorry." With a slight smile, two dimples loomed on the side of his dimple, but his eyes were cold.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, his movements looked really chic, without any muddling. That sentence echoed in Xun Yuming's ears—you can't consult people close to you. It turns out that Xun Yuming is Zhuang Yi's close person, and Xun Yuming is actually Zhuang Yi's close person.
Xun Yuming couldn't help wanting to laugh, and walked into the operating room with the corners of his mouth curled up. After nine and a half hours in a row, he came out still looking radiant. Before he got off work, he ordered takeaway in time. He ordered a bowl of rice more than when he had a big appetite. After eating, he called Chen Linlin.
Preparations for Zhuang Yi's studio were completed a few months ago. If Qin Xueyan hadn't been hospitalized suddenly, the door would definitely be open next to the hospital now. Chen Linlin originally wanted to come along, but after the delay, he stayed at home without work, and immediately made an appointment with Xun Yuming after receiving a call from him.
The day we met was a rest day, and Lao Chen was also at home. He saw Xun Yuming take out the moldy Pu-erh tea cakes that had been hidden for several years. Lapsang Souchong talked a lot.
The middle-aged and the elderly probably cannot escape the snare of the tea ceremony. Old Chen quotes and quotes, eloquently, and spit all over the place. Xun Yuming hid, wiped his face, endured for more than half an hour, and was rescued by Chen Linlin who had just returned home.
Chen Linlin and Lao Chen were almost carved out of the same mold, both with thick eyebrows, round eyes and thin faces, only a little lower than the hairline, and the distance is so small that it can be ignored. As soon as he opened his mouth to look for Yuming, he couldn't help but sit up straight, like a primary school student listening to the teacher's lecture.
Chen's mother was also very enthusiastic, delivering fruit to their house every now and then. Chen Linlin was annoyed, so he ordered his parents to shut up, locked the door and said, "My parents are like this, don't mind. My girlfriend is doing renovations at home these two days, and I'll come back for a while. Next time you go Let it be at my teacher's place, it's a mess here."
"It's fine here, it's good here." Xun Yuming quickly waved his hands, he would rather endure Lao Chen's face-washing method than go to Zhuang Yi's place to reminisce about bitterness and sweetness. "It's the first time I've seen Dean Chen at home."
I didn't expect him to be afraid of guilt.
"It's my family's inheritance that women can last for a long time." Chen Linlin guessed what he was thinking, and said again: "Let's not talk about him. Teacher Zhuang sent me all your information. I looked at it and found that it takes a long time to find a doctor." Consultation is ready."
"Is my situation that serious?" Xun Yuming couldn't help frowning.
"It's not very serious, but all psychological problems are the tip of the iceberg, and they can't be solved at once. If you want to have a conversation, it's impossible, no matter how powerful a psychologist is." Chen Linlin flipped Opening a stack of A4 papers in his hand, he looked at the information on it and said: "Besides, your problems are not small, you have started to drink too much."
"I'm not drinking!"
The words of rebuttal blurted out, and after he finished speaking, he felt that he was being rude, Xun Yuming added embarrassingly: "It's true, if you don't believe me, you can ask Zhuang Yi, and he also said no."
Chen Linlin didn't seem to hear, and asked himself: "When was the first time you drank alcohol, do you remember?"
Of course Xun Yuming remembers it, he remembers it clearly: "When I was a freshman, in the wine tasting class, I got drunk."
Stanford's course schedule is very humane, with advanced algebra and bioethics in the morning, and wine tasting in the afternoon to relax students.
The teacher of the wine tasting class is a handsome white guy. Because he sunbathes all day long, he looks like a Hispanic just by his skin color. He wears a checked suit, has chestnut-brown hair slightly curly, and smiles all the time.
"Congratulations everyone!"
Before he even introduced himself, he said, "Before you turn 21, our wine tasting class will be your only chance to legally drink alcohol."
In the silent classroom, he clapped his hands and said, "Oh please! Doesn't this deserve a big round of applause?"
Scattered applause sounded, and the rhythm was perfunctory.
He was not angry, curled his lips, and said, "Jesus, it seems that you really should drink some wine. Today we are going to Napa Valley to visit the Castello di Amorosa winery. The school bus is waiting outside. Come to me first to sign, Then get in the car one by one. If you fall off, you won't be able to come back."
Alcohol control in California is not very strict compared to other states. Most of the people sitting here are students who have secretly drunk countless times. But when they heard that they could go out, everyone was very excited.
Xun Yuming was a college student who skipped grades all the way. He was only fifteen years old at the time. When he was at home, his grandfather was very strict with him. Not to mention alcohol, he had never even eaten chocolate. There are dozens of people in the classroom, only he is the most curious about alcohol.
The professor led everyone to the church at the gate of the school, counted the number of people, and asked the students to board the orange bus to Napa one by one. Stanford is located in sunny California, facing the sea and backing the desert. The temperature difference between day and night is huge, which is most suitable for grapes and other fruits. There are many wineries nearby.
Starting from the school, it takes about two hours to drive to Napa. Along the way, you can see the golden grass scorched by the poisonous sun under the blue sky, and the white sand beach swept by the hot wind.
The wine tasting teacher held an acoustic guitar and sang "Hotel California" by the Eagles in front of the car, and some students who could sing along hummed along, and gradually became active.
Xun Yuming sat alone in the back of the car with a copy of "Linear Algebra" in his arms, and three people in front of him were Zhuang Yi. The two of them are the only Asians in the class, and they haven't spoken to each other so far. But he had heard about Zhuang Yi's reputation. He was a very popular guy and he was said to be a good player.
After arriving at the winery, the students got off the bus one by one, and the blonde guide was already waiting there. The professor looked very familiar with her, and after greeting her, he led everyone to the castle.
Entering through the round arch, passing through the stone corridor that has been eroded by wind and sand, you can see religious murals painted on all sides, and a long wooden table is placed in the middle, with two rows of sparkling wine glasses on it.
With the teacher's permission, the students tried two kinds of wine and some non-intoxicating liqueurs one after another, followed the guide down the narrow ladder and came to the dark cellar full of round wooden barrels. The two people who led the team talked endlessly about the brewing and cellaring methods of various wines, and everyone was happy when they were drunk.
Standing in the outermost circle, Xun Yuming held the cup and took a sip, his small face wrinkled together in pain.
Zhuang Yi drank with his family since he was a child, and he had been to Napa before, so he just stood lazily at the door and did not push forward. Seeing Xun Yuming's stupid look, he leaned over and smiled and said, "Your ears are red."
"Ah?" Xun Yuming stared at him blankly, then suddenly covered his ears, and giggled: "Don't look at it, I won't show it to you!"
"You're not drunk, are you?" Zhuang Yi saw that his footsteps were sloppy, tossed and dizzy, and he supported his arm and asked, "Are you really drunk? How much have you drunk?"
Like a magic trick, Xun Yuming took out two goblets dipped in bright yellow liqueur from behind, and said as if offering a treasure: "I've finished drinking it all!"
"..."
He is also honest, let him taste the wine, he really drank it like a coke, like drinking water, and dried up in one breath.
Zhuang Yi was afraid that he would be drunk, so he held his arm firmly with one hand, and put it next to his ear to scare him: "Your ears are so red, everyone has seen it. Don't talk, as soon as you talk, they will slap you." Your ears were taken off!"
"I… "
"Also!"
Xun Yuming was startled, shrunk his shoulders and stared at him in bewilderment, and suddenly raised his index finger to his lips: "Shh—" He laughed secretly again: "You want to steal my ears?"
When the students heard the movement, dozens of pairs of eyes swiped over. Xun Yuming didn't pay attention at all, he was still staggering silly, pointing at the rust-colored flying dragon hanging on the wall, clamoring for an autopsy.
Zhuang Yi was angry and funny, he spread his hands helplessly, and everyone laughed.
The professor said loudly, "Hahaha, it seems we have a winner today!"
Leaving the winery that day, Xun Yuming was carried away by Zhuang Yi on his shoulders. When he went out, he kicked him and muttered: "The gluteus maximus is the most... the biggest muscle in the human body, so big. !"
"I haven't had much to drink since that time."
The embarrassing experience at the beginning has become a topic of conversation after more than ten years. It is not embarrassing to talk about it, and Xun Yuming himself finds it funny.
Chen Linlin frowned, and asked, "Since when did you start drinking again?"
Xun Yuming pondered for a moment, and said: "After graduating from university, it should be when I first went to medical school to study for a doctorate."
"At that time you were not yet 21." Chen Linlin said with a smile.
The resume clearly stated that he was admitted to Stanford Medical School after graduating from university, and directly applied for a four-year doctoral program. He went to Harvard University for an exchange in his third year of Ph.D., and went to Hopkins Hospital for an internship in the second half of his fourth year. Mayo Medical Center in Minnesota, three and a half years of residency, two years of research, and then won the award. Based on his current age, he should be 19 when he was studying for a Ph. D., which is below the legal drinking age.
"After the age of 18, you can drink non-alcoholic beer." Xun Yuming defended, "The regulations are different in each state."
Chen Linlin hummed, and then asked, "Did anything important happen in the few months between you graduated from university and the time you went to medical school to study for a PhD?"
According to Zhuang Yi's description, Xun Yuming is a person who strictly abides by various rules and regulations. Sometimes he is so stubborn that it makes people headaches, and he is even more afraid of obeying roles such as bosses, leaders, and teachers.
Judging from his first drinking experience, he didn't have a big preference for alcohol. It allowed him to take advantage of the loopholes to drink when he was under the legal age. Chen Linlin guessed that something that deeply affected him probably happened during that time.
"I..." Xun Yuming was stopped by his question, silent for a long time, and said in a low voice, "I fell in love after graduation."
Although Chen Linlin had heard about the relationship between Zhuang Yi and Xun Yuming for a long time, he didn't know the details. Since receiving treatment, there is no privacy at all in front of the doctor, which is why doctors must never disclose patient information to third parties, and this is no different in the department of psychology and psychiatry.
Chen Linlin nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "Did Dr. Zhuang break up with you?"
"No, it's not." Xun Yuming was startled when he heard the words, then shook his head and said, "I broke up with him."
Chen Linlin asked, "Why?"
The author has something to say: Press: You can apply directly after graduating from a doctoral program in the United States without completing a master's degree.
