As the distance got closer, she could clearly smell the faint scent of disinfectant on him. Su Xian didn't like the smell of the hospital, but the smell of him was something she could never get tired of.
It turns out that when you like someone, you can like everything about him.
"I have something to say."
His voice was a little hoarse today, and his face was thinner than that day. Was he too busy? This shouldn't have been her focus, but whenever he appeared, her thoughts were always in a mess. His reminder and the sense of distance brought her back to reality.
"I just want to know how long my dad's surgery will take and if there will be any problems."
"If everything goes well, it will take about three and a half hours." The answer was very official: "As for whether there will be any problems, I can't tell you now. The problems that may arise during the operation are clearly stated in the consent form. We doctors can only do our best. As for any accidents that may occur during the operation, there is no guarantee."
It was said very clearly, but it seemed as if nothing was said. Su Xian sighed inwardly and suddenly wanted to cry. He was ignorant of this unfamiliar field, afraid of death, and even more so, felt such an unfamiliar pain for this person in front of him who was so familiar to him.
She lowered her head, unable to look him in the eye, avoiding something. Su Xian tried her best to keep her mentality balanced. She saw that his hands were always in his pockets. The hands that once held her through spring, summer, autumn and winter were now untouchable.
"Then I'll trouble you, Doctor Zuo." Someone seemed to be crying by the door. This was not uncommon in this place. Her already uncomfortable heart began to twitch and become uncomfortable. It turned out that no matter how she pretended to be strong, she would still fall apart in front of some people. She didn't want to appear pitiful in front of him. At this moment, Su Xian just wanted to stay away from him. "Doctor Zuo, they are still waiting for me. I'm leaving first."
"Wait a minute." He finally pulled one hand out of his pocket and touched her cheek, effectively blocking her steps that were about to leave. Su Xian turned slightly, looked at him, and also watched the hand that was just on her cheek quickly put back into the pocket.
"Your father will be fine." This sentence was worth a thousand words at this moment. As if he was afraid that she would not believe him, he sighed and said, "If you believe me."
His expression revealed unquestionable confidence, so of course she believed him.
"I believe."
She was telling the truth, but what she got was Zuo Yueyao's mocking smile: "It would be better if you really believed me."
The topic suddenly jumped here, and Su Xian didn't know how to answer. She once asked herself whether her feelings for Zuo Yueyao were worthy of his trust in her. She had made all the decisions in their breakups and reunions, and had never asked for his opinion, nor had she ever put herself in his shoes to think about his sadness or anger. Hearing these words, she felt that they were no different from being scolded.
"Thank you." Other than that, Su Xian didn't dare to say any more nonsense.
"Thank you for what?"
"My father's affairs, and Laiyun, everything."
"Go back, they are still waiting for you."
This time, Zuo Yueyao did not leave first. He looked at her and waited for her to leave first. Su Xian did not dare to look back. The moment she closed the door, her heart felt empty. Every step she took seemed to be falling into hell.
How can there be heaven without Zuo Yueyao
When I returned to the ward, there was no one else there except my father.
"They said they had something to do and left first." Su Changlin pointed to a paper bag on the bedside table and said, "They left this behind."
In the paper bag, there was a thick stack of RMB and a piece of paper with only a few words on it: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." There were also their handwritten signatures below, including Xiao Yunshu's crooked handwriting.
They knew her temper. If they were in front of her, she would definitely not accept the money. Only they would express her emotions in such a simple and rough way to her. They also said they had something to do and left first. It was obvious that they just didn't want to hear her those sensational words.
Sometimes the touching of the heartstrings often happens in an instant.
Tears welled up in my eyes, for friendship, for family, and for lost love.
Wen He came to the hospital at dawn the next day. Su Xian hadn't slept well in recent days and was visibly tired. Wen He felt distressed and spoke with a rare reproach in his tone: "I told you to let me stay with you overnight, but you refused. Look, you have bags under your eyes."
"Do you think I'm ugly?" Try to make the atmosphere more cheerful.
"You are not ugly, you are much more beautiful than those women."
The answer was smooth, but it left room for discussion: "Which women? You seem to have met many women."
As soon as Wen He stopped moving, Su Xian began to wonder if he was really filtering through his mind the women he had met before. Sure enough, "Except for my ex-girlfriend, I haven't come into contact with any other women. I have met many, but I'm not familiar with them, that is, that is."
"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding."
I really don’t know how the two elders from the wealthy Wen family raised such a little Aries. These days in the hospital, I have been wanting to ask Wen He a question, but she knows that even if he answers, it will probably not be true.
"Do you mind?" she asked him tentatively.
Wen He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't mind. He is the best doctor here. There are so many patients who want him to perform surgery but can't get him."
Sure enough, it was not true. Su Xian scolded: "You idiot." And made a promise: "When the dust settles, we will go to that resort and enjoy it."
"Okay, I'm at your service anytime." Wen He agreed readily.
"Actually, I'm quite curious about how you can start a company with your personality." Su Xian laughed and couldn't help teasing.
"That's just how I treat you."
The sudden love words caught Su Xian off guard. Since they had been together until today, she had never heard Wen He say something similar. He said it seriously and didn't feel that the words were ambiguous at all. They were so focused on chatting that they forgot that there was someone lying on the hospital bed.
Su Changlin had nothing to do, so he listened to the conversation between the two like a listener. He could not see any joy or sadness. Su Xian thought that her father was afraid of death, but gradually discovered that he was not afraid of death, he was afraid of dying alone. He thought that his life was about to end, so he came all the way here just to stay by her side and see her living environment. Even if they had another quarrel, it was all good.
Today, all the resentments and grievances of the past have become insignificant. For an elderly man who may race against the King of Hell at any time and anywhere, instead of feeling resentment, it is better to give him a good ending.
A heavy door separated life and death. The people inside the door were struggling to fight against death, while the people outside the door were worried. No one was having a good time. Su Xian had not seen Zuo Yueyao since today. He did not even come to the morning rounds. Chen Biyu grabbed her hand and comforted her without any grudges: "Don't worry, Zuo Yueyao is in there. Nothing can happen to him. He is a top figure in the medical field. Isn't this enough for you to be assured?"
"Why isn't your instructor Wen here?" Huang Kaifeng noticed with his sharp eyes that the person who should be the protagonist was not present at this time.
"He came in the morning." Su Xian explained for him: "Then he received a call. There was a problem with the company's account and he needed to go back to deal with it. He didn't want to leave, but I sent him back."
Thinking back to when Wen He left, his face was full of reluctance and helplessness, and his conflicted look made people reluctant to let him make a choice. Su Xian thought that whether he was there or not wouldn't change anything anyway, so he might as well go back and take care of the company's affairs first.
"I'll be back as soon as possible," he said at the time.
But I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while, because from the tone of his phone call, the company's accounting problems seem to be quite serious.
"Why are you here?" The first person to discover Ren Shang was Lu Xiran. Su Xian was also curious about why he appeared here, but she saw Ren Shang put a flower basket next to Su Xian and then winked at her.
Su Xian sat on the other side and left his seat to Ren Shang. Ren Shang sat down and leaned towards Lu Xiran: "Shouldn't I be here for such a big thing as my uncle's surgery? If I hadn't been delayed by something, I would have come a long time ago."
Lu Xiran pouted, "I just asked casually, why are you so impulsive?"
Ren Shang pointed at himself and asked the people around him: "Did I rush?"
Chen Biyu: “Not bad.”
Huang Kaifeng: “It seems a little bit.”
Li Yitian: "No."
Su Xian: "She said you should rush, so just rush. Why are you really arguing about it?"
"You're right." Ren Shang said with a flattering look on his face: "Little aunt, whatever you say is what it is, okay?" The teasing at the beginning has become today's pampering. Once the love that is realized belatedly breaks out, it can change a person's attitude 180 degrees.
Lu Xiran replied: "If it weren't for you helping me take care of the treasure, I would ignore you."
Caibao is the name of a local dog, who was adopted from a rescue center. Ren Shang went to handle the adoption procedures personally. After bringing the dog back, he packed himself and the dog into a bag and placed it at the door of the room Lu Xiran rented. When he returned home, he saw a big box. After opening the box nervously, the first thing he saw was Caibao. As for the big man who fell asleep while waiting next to Caibao, Lu Xiran discovered for the first time that this Senior Brother Ren was quite interesting.
But no matter how fun it was, she couldn't play with it, because Caibao was a gift from Ren Shang. Lu Xiran didn't want it, but she couldn't stand Caibao's pitiful eyes and Ren Shang's words, "If you don't adopt it, I can't return it, so I can only throw it away." She couldn't refuse anymore.
Lu Xiran had to go to work during the day and was worried that Caibao would have difficulty adapting to the environment when he first came to her house. When she was struggling with this, Ren Shang volunteered to help take care of Caibao during the day since he had free time.
Therefore, the treasure served as a bridge between Ren Shang and Lu Xiran. Every time Lu Xiran wanted to drive Ren Shang away, he would either play the victim or bring up the treasure, leaving Lu Xiran with no solution.
Ren Shang suddenly came over and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your method of using softness to overcome hardness is really good."
Use gentleness to overcome hardness, that's what she suggested, but the gentle one is Ren Shang, and the hard one is the ignorant girl Lu Xiran.
Su Xian rolled his eyes at him: "Childish."
"Yes, I am naive, but what can I do?" He was not ashamed but proud of it: "Maybe some people are even more naive than me, and they are still so willful and reckless at the height of the storm, as if they are afraid that no one will make things difficult for them."
"What do you mean?" Who could fail to hear the hidden meaning in such obvious words
"Nothing, nothing." Ren Shang turned his head away, intending to go back and continue to please.
Su Xian held him down and said, "If you don't want to tell me, I don't mind telling that girl about your ridiculous past from time to time."
Ren Shang turned his head suddenly: "A real man cannot be threatened by others easily!"
"Okay." Su Xian let him go and made a "goodbye" gesture.
"But a gentleman should be able to bend and stretch. It's not good to be too rigid." The best sister who can offend anyone but not the one she loves said: "But you have to promise me, it's ok for you to hear it, but don't say that I told you, or I'll sound like a gossip."
