"Did you give the basketball to Xi Yu?"
To dilute the delicate atmosphere, Duan Shutong asked casually.
Xi Duan started the car and replied: "Send it."
"How does he feel?"
"Very happy." Xi Duan paused, and couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, "Thanks for your reminder."
Although the words are plain, there is a bit of intimacy.
The car drove out of the quiet villa area and merged into the bustling street market. Through the neon lights outside the window, Duan Shutong saw the gentleness on his face, his heart seemed to be scalded, and a certain emotion was impatient to rush out like a torrent. Make people feel restless.
Is this what being in love feels like
Be careful and look forward to it.
In fact, the villa area where the rich man is located has a private theater setting, but the two clearly want to go to a crowded theater to watch movies with ordinary couples, and enjoy the intimacy of only each other among the crowd.
The car was parked in the underground garage of the mall, and the two took the elevator upstairs.
During holidays, the shopping mall was full of people, and the elevators were also full. Duan Shutong clung to the innermost inner wall, but was still bumped by the elbow of the person next to him, and frowned in pain.
Xi Duan turned around abruptly, pulled him into the corner of the elevator, turned his back to other passengers, and protected him inside.
Duan Shutong looked at him blankly.
The two were so close that they could hear each other's breath, the end of the mat was squeezed by someone, they suddenly leaned forward, and the tip of their nose hit the young man's eyebrow.
At the same time, the bridge of Duan Shutong's nose felt warm and soft, and he was so startled that he forgot to breathe.
With a "ding", the elevator door opened, and the passengers left in an orderly manner. Duan Shutong was the first to react, and stretched out his hand to push the seat.
Xi Duan lowered his eyes and walked down the elevator with Duan Shutong.
Duan Shutong glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and found that his ears were blushing, he was secretly amused, and the embarrassment he had just dissipated gradually.
There is nothing to be ashamed of when chickens peck at each other.
After finding the theater, the two went to the counter to buy tickets, only to be told that today's movie tickets were sold out, including the midnight show.
Duan Shutong: "..." Blame him, I didn't expect to buy tickets online in advance under the excitement.
Seeing him disappointed, Xi Duan couldn't bear it, "Change another one."
"No need," Duan Shutong shook his head, "Let's go down first." Watching a movie is just to find an excuse to be alone with Xi Duan, although he can't watch the movie, but it is enough for him to be with Xi Duan now.
Like fools, the two returned to the underground garage.
After getting in the car, Xi Duan asked, "Where are you going now?"
The lights in the underground garage were a little dim, and there was no one around. The man's voice was muffled in the compartment, heavy and disturbing.
"Let me think about it first." Duan Shutong replied with his head down.
"good."
The surroundings began to become silent again, Duan Shutong crossed his hands on his legs, twisted unconsciously, his heart beat a little fast, as if someone was beating a drum in his ear, again and again, so annoying that people wanted to do something urgently.
After a struggle between reason and emotion, Duan Shutong finally fell down, and said sullenly, "Go back."
Xi Duan gave an obedient "hmm".
He understands the situation of young people, and also understands the entanglement of young people. He is waiting, and he is willing to wait.
He can accompany and bear all difficulties.
There was nothing to say all the way, when the car arrived at the villa area, Duan Shutong suddenly asked, "When are you going back to Shanquan County?"
Xi Duan parked the car on the side of the road, turned to look at him, "When is it convenient for you?"
Just as Duan Shutong was about to answer, WeChat rang, and someone asked him to video.
He picked it up and saw that it was Han Ling, and he pressed the answer button without thinking too much.
Han Lingli's face appeared on the screen with a mournful expression, "Director Duan, I'm homeless now, please take me in!"
Duan Shutong said indifferently, "You can stay in a hotel."
"There are no rooms in the hotel!" Han Ling surveyed his surroundings, "Are you in the car? Who is next to you? It can't be..."
"Okay, I have a house, I will lend you a night," he paused, "you come and get the key yourself."
Han Ling smiled pleasantly, "I'll go right away!"
After hanging up, Duan Shutong sent him a location, and then asked Xi Duan: "Do you want to go back first?"
Xi Duan pursed his lips, his eyes darkened, "No need." The man just now seemed familiar.
The car fell into silence again, after a while, someone asked Duan Shutong to video again, Duan Shutong glanced at the expressionless Xi Duan, and answered.
Lu Shi on the screen looked much better than before. When he saw Duan Shutong, he joked, "I promised you to go back to Yanshi and tell me about my treat. If I didn't see Weibo, I wouldn't know you came back."
Duan Shutong really forgot about it, he thought it was a polite remark, so he smiled apologetically, "There is no need to treat guests this time, wait until later."
Please wait until his face fully recovers.
"That's fine," Lu Shi accepted his kindness and asked with a smile, "Mr. Duan and Mr. Xi are not really going to get married, are they?"
Mr. Duan refers to Duan Sifu, and Duan's father calls him Dong Duan.
When Xi Duan heard the words, he immediately looked over.
Duan Shutong quickly clarified, "It's all a joke from netizens, don't take it seriously."
"Really?" Lu Shi smiled meaningfully, "I won't tell you now, my family calls me, goodbye."
After hanging up the video, Xi Duan said, "The one in front of Lu Shi is your friend?"
"The newly recruited technician is called Han Ling." Duan Shutong unconsciously opened the edge of the phone case, "I saw it in Haishi, Yalan store."
Xi Duan responded. He felt that the name sounded familiar, so he opened WeChat.
Duan Shutong thought he was dealing with work matters, so he kept silent for fear of disturbing him.
After a while, he suddenly received a WeChat message from Han Ling: Sorry, Director Duan, I have something to deal with suddenly, so I won't go get the key. [wronged] [wronged] [wronged]
Duan Shutong looked at Xi Duan.
Xi Duan did not hide it, and wrote lightly: "Director Han of Renguang Hospital is his father, and he is not homeless."
Because Han Ling is gay, he has already "broken" with Director Han. He was able to connect Han Ling with Director Han because Director Han had mentioned it before.
Duan Shutong remembered that before Pei Ruowei was sent to the hospital by Li Xiao, Director Han followed Xi Duan's orders and brought someone to transfer Pei Ruowei to the ward.
The world is really small.
He didn't care about Han Ling anymore, and he didn't know that Han Ling was struggling to face his old father's anger.
Since there was no need to wait for Han Ling to come over, Duan Shutong took advantage of the opportunity to open the door.
It wasn't opened, it was locked.
He went to see Xi Duan, and Xi Duan looked at him for a few seconds, then unlocked the lock silently, his eyes looked aggrieved.
Duan Shutong's heart softened suddenly.
He already had feelings for Xi Duan, but because he didn't handle his family relationship well now, he kept restraining himself for fear of delaying Xi Duan.
—Although it did not succeed in restraint.
"What would Xi Yu think?" He raised his head and asked.
Without hesitation, Xi Duan said, "This is my business and has nothing to do with him. Who I like and who I'm with are all my own business."
His eyes fixed on the young man's face, "I understand that you are worried about your parents. I am willing to bear the burden with you, are you willing?"
Duan Shutong suddenly burst into endless courage, submerging the original guilt and uneasiness, he suddenly smiled, "We will discuss it after the agreed holiday, I will break my promise first."
In surprise, Xi Duan grabbed his hand, "Do you want to?"
Gently buckling back, Duan Shutong nodded earnestly, "I have never dated anyone before. The girlfriends I made before were all for show. If there is anything I don't do well, I must tell it straight."
The clasped palms ignited a flame, and a stream of fine sweat broke out.
The end of the mat was clenched tightly, like a kid at a loss, "No, you did a good job, everything is fine."
Seeing that he was more nervous than himself, Duan Shutong relaxed and asked with a smile, "Can you let me go back?"
Xi Duan was unwilling to let go, and thought of a question, "I haven't said when I will return to Shanquan County."
"Han Ling said he wanted to play with me."
Xi Duan lowered his gaze, "He won't have time."
"Oh," Duan Shutong didn't care, and asked instead, "Then what is your plan?"
Xi Duan looked away, "I want... to go back early."
It's not because of work, it's just that Shanquan County is easier to get close to.
"I can do it." After Duan Shutong agreed, he wanted to withdraw his hand and get off the car, but was dragged back.
The man pursed his lips and looked at him, without saying a word, and clenched his hands tightly, as if he was expecting something, but he didn't dare to open his mouth, he only asked pitifully with his eyes.
Duan Shutong took his hand with a smile, kissed the back of his hand simply, raised his eyes and asked, "Is it all right?"
Unexpectedly, the man held it tighter, leaned forward suddenly, and brushed past his cheek, very light, like a feather, scratching people's hearts.
After the kiss, he immediately let go of Duan Shutong, looked at the windshield solemnly, "You go back."
Little did they know that the red ears gave away everything.
Duan Shutong clicked his tongue twice in his heart, stroking the place where he had just been kissed, his heart seemed to be filled with viscous syrup, bubbling, so sweet that it made people drool.
After he got out of the car and left, Xi Duan followed his back closely until he could no longer see him, then rubbed the kissed place on the back of his hand and smiled happily.
Xi Duan said that he wanted to go back to Shanquan County early, and he would come to pick up Duan Shutong the next day.
Dong Hanyue was reluctant, so Duan Shutong hugged her and said, "I have to go back and develop new products, and I'll come back to see you after I develop them."
Ms. Dong had no choice but to wave goodbye.
Duan Shutong is not coaxing her, he is serious. After deciding to be with Xi Duan, he put more pressure on himself.
Xi Duan has already stood at the peak. As a partner, he cannot be too far behind him. This can be regarded as a man's self-esteem. He wants to be successful, and he wants to be with Xi Duan without any pressure.
He is willing to work hard for it.
Back in Shanquan County, the two of them didn't have time to get tired of being together. Xi Duan had a backlog of work to deal with, and Duan Shutong also began to formulate a new product research and development plan.
Thinking of the accidental death of Grandpa Duan deep in his memory, Duan Shutong decided on his next plan.
Back then, Grandpa Duan worked in the county hospital and tried his best to diagnose and treat a patient with kidney failure, but in the end he failed to save his life. The patient's family members went mad with pain and pushed Grandpa Duan to the ground. Grandpa Duan was hit on the back of the head and could not be rescued.
Duan Shao, who was still young, witnessed this tragedy with his own eyes, and his belief in learning medicine was shaken.
Duan Shutong was well aware of the reluctance of the original owner, so he decided to develop a drug that can effectively treat kidney failure, and solved this knot.
The efficiency of nt is very high, and the new laboratory is about to be built, and it is estimated that it will be put into use soon.
Just when he was looking forward to the new laboratory, Pei Ruowei, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly contacted him, and asked in a tearful voice, "Master Duan, can I borrow some money?"
Duan Shutong was surprised, "What are you doing?"
Pei Ruowei calmed down a little, and explained: "The dean who took care of me when I was young was sick and needed a sum of treatment fees. Can you borrow it first, and I will definitely pay it back!"
Duan Shutong thought of the director of the orphanage who took care of him in his previous life, and couldn't help but softly said: "What disease? How much do you need?"
"The doctor said that there is a problem with the kidneys and that dialysis is needed. I, I don't know how much it will cost." She was at a loss.
If she hadn't visited the dean and didn't know that the dean had such a serious illness, she deeply hated herself for not discovering it earlier.
Duan Shutong remembered that there was indeed a plot written in the original book, saying that after giving birth, Pei Ruowei, accompanied by the male second Duan Shao, came to Shanquan County to visit the old dean, but was told that the dean had died of a serious illness, and he blamed himself and mourned endlessly.
It is precisely because of this that she values her children more and becomes stronger at the same time.
Of course Duan Shutong would not refuse to save him, "Which hospital are you in? I'll go and see."
"County Hospital, thank you, Young Master Duan."
After hanging up the phone, Duan Shutong called to the county hospital, feeling even more stressed.
He must speed up his pace and develop it as soon as possible.
