Because Shen Shiyan didn't need to go to the hospital the next day, Meng Xintang took him back to his home. Shen Shiyan was really tired, and within three minutes of getting into the car, he fell asleep again. When they got there, Meng Xintang hesitated for a while, but still woke up Shen Shiyan.
"Are you there?" Shen Shiyan opened his eyes in a daze, and after seeing the building in front of him, he suddenly remembered what Meng Xintang had said before, and wanted to show him the door. He was still sitting on the seat, tilting his neck to guess which house was Meng Xintang's house, and the car door beside him had been opened.
"It's the one inside," Meng Xintang asked him, leaning on the car door, "Can you walk?"
Shen Shiyan nodded and got out of the car. He came out without a coat today, and Meng Xintang gave him his own, so Meng Xintang only wore a shirt at the moment. Shen Shiyan draped his coat over him and said, "You have less clothes inside than me."
Meng Xintang brushed it down again and put it back on his shoulders.
"I'm not cold, you are dressed."
The two looked at each other suddenly, and neither of them stood there. Shen Shiyan slightly pulled the corner of his mouth and asked with the coat, "We are going to freeze here, arguing about who should wear the coat?"
"There is another way." Meng Xintang thought about it and said.
He took the overcoat, pulled up Shen Shiyan's arm, and put the sleeve on one side of the overcoat. Shen Shiyan didn't exert any effort on him, let him play with it, but kept his eyes fixed on his face, waiting for him to give himself a reasonable explanation.
After slowly helping Shen Shiyan put on his coat, and buttoning the buttons carefully, Meng Xintang squatted down and said to the people behind him, "Come up, go home."
Shen Shiyan was stunned, but he didn't expect Meng Xintang to play this.
Seeing that the people behind him didn't move, Meng Xintang tugged at Shen Shiyan's sleeve with his back on his back: "Come up, you won't be cold when you carry your back."
Shen Shiyan leaned on Meng Xintang's shoulder, and only after seeing the shadows of the two people stacked together did he feel that the scene was a little too emotional. Meng Xintang walked forward step by step, the shadows of the two flickered, but they always moved forward together, passing over the wet ground and the brilliance of the stars and the moon reflected in the water. In the middle of the night, the community was so quiet that it seemed to be still. For a moment, it seemed that the whole world was left with only the two of them accompanying them.
"Why suddenly... so girlish?"
Shen Shiyan's chuckle echoed in Meng Xintang's ears, the laughter was a little lower than usual, and it became more gentle. Meng Xintang heard him ask, "Is it heavy?"
"It's not heavy," Meng Xintang said quickly. "If you're thin, you need to eat more."
Shen Shiyan didn't speak, lay quietly on Meng Xintang's shoulder, put his face on his shoulder, and closed his eyes.
When he was about to go downstairs, Meng Xintang suddenly said, "Can I bring some things to your house, get some clothes, and sleep at your place when I have time."
Shen Shiyan opened his eyes, stopped for a while, and said "OK".
The two of them still slept in the same bed that day. Meng Xintang's arm was placed on Shen Shiyan's waist, and he slowly and gently told him about his childhood, about his father and mother.
"It was fine when I was a kid, I saw them a bit more. After I was 15, the only activity I did with my dad was mountain climbing."
"climb mountains?"
"Well, in the winter when I was 18, he told me to climb the mountain in winter to appreciate what the top of the mountain looks like. We started climbing when it was dark, and it was very cold at that time, and the surroundings were icy cold. When the sun came out, the front was red and warm, very beautiful, and indeed very fulfilling."
Shen Shiyan thought about it and smiled. Meng Xintang asked him why he was laughing.
"Although your father doesn't spend much time with you, he seems to have taught you what he should teach you."
Meng Xintang nodded. Indeed, for so many years, although his father did not teach him any specific knowledge, nor did he have any warm companionship, he taught him tenacity and taught him not to be destroyed by wind and frost.
Shen Shiyan kept talking to him about his parents, and after listening to him, he talked about his own. When he finally started to close his eyes, Meng Xintang kissed his eyes and said, "We'll go hiking in two weeks. It doesn't take a long vacation, just the weekend."
Shen Shiyan said "Okay" in the dark and fell asleep. Meng Xintang looked at him quietly for a while, then raised his hand and rubbed his face lightly.
"Good night."
The next day, Meng Xintang had to go to work, so he got up early. He lightened his hands and feet and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, but he didn't expect the door to be opened while he was frying eggs. Meng Xintang was surprised for a moment, and quickly turned off the fire to stop Meng Xinchu's shouting in the living room.
"Brother! I brought you two boxes of the fruit we distributed yesterday! Have you made breakfast? I want... "
"Shh." Meng Xintang warned with a raised finger.
"Have a meal… "
Meng Xinchu lowered the volume for unknown reasons, and then asked him in confusion what he was doing.
Meng Xintang raised his chin towards the bedroom: "Someone is sleeping."
"Damn it!" As soon as Meng Xinchu's words were out of his mouth, he covered his mouth in Meng Xintang's frown.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm too excited."
After finishing speaking, Meng Xinchu rubbed her waist towards the bedroom, only to be blocked by Meng Xintang, who by the way warned her not to mess around.
"No mess," Meng Xinchu defended in a low voice, "I'll see what my sister-in-law looks like. Sooner or later, the family has something to hide. Besides, what are women afraid of?"
Meng Xinchu pushed Meng Xintang's waist to let him go.
"It's not my sister-in-law," Meng Xintang emphasized again with a shovel, "he's a man."
Meng Xinchu's mouth didn't close for a long time, and finally he said, "Damn it."
Meng Xintang looked at his watch and felt that he could no longer break up with Meng Xinchu, so he simply pulled her to the kitchen and watched her not let her move. However, Meng Xinchu hadn't thought about it yet. She didn't object to this kind of thing, but her brother had always been a woman for so many years, so she didn't understand when Meng Xintang changed her self.
"No, brother, why did you suddenly..." Meng Xinchu's expression was a little subtle, she watched Meng Xintang pour the fried eggs from the pan into the plate, and her eyebrows twitched even more, "Why did you suddenly bend?"
Meng Xintang raised his eyebrows: "Bend?"
"It's a gender male, male-oriented!" Meng Xinchu didn't have the heart to give him a comprehensive science, and after throwing out such a sentence, he frowned and digested Meng Xintang's sleeping with a man.
"In fact, sexual orientation is not fixed in the first place. Indeed, for physiological and psychological reasons, people are much more likely to fall in love with the opposite sex, but this does not mean that love between the same sex is different. In my opinion, Come, this is just a small probability event, but even if it is a small probability, it may happen. If you really meet the one who attracts you, both men and women are fine, and it doesn’t matter.”
Meng Xinchu never thought that these words came from her brother's mouth. She felt that she might really be inaccurate, and she didn't realize that her brother's mind was so open.
She was about to say something else when she heard the bedroom door open. Meng Xinchu was so excited that he was about to run out. Meng Xintang hurriedly grabbed her and reminded in a low voice, "I tell you in advance, don't be too happy or too jumpy, something happened these days, and he is in a bad mood."
"What's up?"
"It's a bad thing." Meng Xintang pointed to her succinctly.
Looking at Meng Xintang's expression, Meng Xinchu probably understood the situation, and immediately suppressed the smile on his face, and assured: "Don't worry, I have my senses."
Meng Xintang watched her run away, took out a tissue, and began to carefully wipe the edge of the plate. Sure enough, after about ten seconds, there was a sound of "I rely on" from outside.
The three sat at the dining table to eat, Meng Xintang and Shen Shiyan sat on one side, and Meng Xinchu sat on the side by himself. In the eerie silence, Meng Xinchu watched as Meng Xintang filled Shen Shiyan with a bowl of porridge, and reminded him to be careful, and handed him a small bean bag. the one.
"Damn it." Meng Xinchu couldn't hold back, she didn't know how many foul words she had uttered this morning.
When Meng Xintang heard it, he raised his head and gave her another warning look.
"Aren't you going to eat? Don't you have to clock in at 8:30?"
"What card is there to play..." Meng Xinchu muttered.
"Eat quickly."
In contrast, Shen Shiyan was very calm, except that he was stunned for a few seconds when he first saw Meng Xin, and then he was very natural. After eating a bean bun, he squeezed his fingers together and rubbed them together.
Meng Xintang quickly gave him a piece of paper.
Shen Shiyan took it, wiped his hands, stirred the porridge slowly and said, "I thought you already knew it."
"Damn it! How is that possible! I want to know that I went to your WeChat earlier and yelled at you?" Meng Xinchu was just excited, but she immediately thought of what Meng Xintang had just said. She bit her mouth, swallowed what she wanted to say next, and collapsed. Waist down, honestly began to eat.
Shen Shiyan smiled and asked, "Can you accept it?"
Meng Xinchu glanced at the two people on the opposite side, and after deliberating for a while, he sighed and put down the bowls and chopsticks.
"How could I not accept it. I just wanted to, you two said earlier that you see each other, let me know sooner, will I take you home when I go to school?" She rolled her eyes at Meng Xintang, "It saves the two of you wasting so many years, and you almost came up with a man who won't marry for the rest of your life."
Shen Shiyan smiled with his chopsticks in his mouth. Although it was very light, Meng Xintang knew that he was really smiling.
On the day of the beginning of winter, Shen Shiyan heard the nurses in the hospital talking and remembered to eat dumplings. After a delay in the ward at noon, there were no dumplings when he arrived at the cafeteria. He ordered two dishes and found a window seat to eat. Suddenly a person sat down beside him, the old dean. Although he was his deputy, he was highly respected. The old dean pushed the dumpling plate to this side and said, "Eating two is somewhat meaningful."
Shen Shiyan smiled: "We eat dumplings at any festival in the north. You see, we eat dumplings at the beginning of winter today. After a while, the winter solstice will still be dumplings."
Even though he said that, Shen Shiyan still stretched out his chopsticks and took one. Zucchini egg filling, his favorite dumpling filling.
The old dean sat opposite him, and the two talked a lot. When he was about to finish eating, the old dean suddenly asked, "I heard that something happened to the patient who was allergic to penicillin. How is his family... how is it?"
Shen Shiyan paused while holding the chopsticks, and looked at the person opposite without saying a word. He saw that the old director took a dumpling uncomfortably, and was covered in vinegar, but he was still dangling back and forth in the vinegar. The old director coughed lightly, as if reminding something, but Shen Shiyan kept pursing his lips tightly.
"That child is actually a relative of my family." The old dean raised his eyelids and glanced at him with a bit of embarrassment and embarrassment on his face, "After I know about this, I don't know how many times I have scolded him, and he also talked to him. I have cried many times. Xiao Shen, I know I shouldn’t say these words today, but his parents begged me to ask me to come to you, and asked if I could talk to his family and reconcile this matter privately. No matter how much money they are willing to pay."
There was still a mouthful of rice left in Shen Shiyan's plate. He poked the rice grains one by one, and suddenly thought out of time that Meng Xintang was carrying him on his back, he was resting on his shoulder, and one cheek touched his shoulder. The warmth of the other side of the cheek touched the cold night wind. The contrast between temperature and emotion was too great, which impressed him deeply and moved him.
After a long silence, Shen Shiyan raised his head.
"President, I remember someone said that the doctor's mistakes will be buried in the ground with death. As long as others don't know it's your fault, you are still a good doctor who has saved many people." He tilted his head and tugged. Pulling the corners of his mouth, "This is really ridiculous, right?"
