Soon after Li Zhen left, Hong Lei wore a white coat and came to Li Siqi's ward.
"Doctor Hong, are you here for the round?" Li Siqi looked up from the book and looked at him suspiciously.
"No, I'll see you." Hong Lei sat down as he spoke.
Li Siqi nodded, "I'm fine, Dr. Hong ran to me without trouble."
Hong Lei was inexplicably nervous when facing Li Siqi. He rubbed his hands and wanted to find a relaxed topic, but he thought about it for a long time and didn't think of anything to say.
However, Li Siqi spoke first.
But as soon as her words came out, Hong Lei was really embarrassed.
She said, "Dr. Hong like me."
What she said was not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.
It seemed that Wang Qingquan's eyes fixedly looked at him, making him want to find a seam to get in for a moment.
There was a full minute of silence between the two before Hong Lei took a deep breath and admitted: "Yes, I like you."
Li Siqi was just a guess at first, but vaguely felt like this, but she didn't expect Hong Lei to really admit it, and for a while she was also a little stunned.
Hong Lei looked at her frown, thinking that she hated herself, and his eyebrows drooped.
"I know it’s bad for me. After all, you are Yun Chen’s ex-wife. I also know that you are still pregnant. No matter what, it’s not right for me to like you now, but... But I can’t control this. The direction of the feelings."
He lowered his head, did not dare to look at Li Siqi, as if talking to himself, but also as if telling a story that had nothing to do with him.
"When Yun Chen took you to meet our group of friends for the first time, I was surprised by your eyes, deer-like eyes, so clean..." He said, remembering something, and involuntarily laughed.
"Hong Lei..."
"Don't talk, since you already know, I don't want to hide it from you anymore, just listen to me."
Hong Lei finally raised his eyes, his eyes were red at some point.
Li Siqi was taken aback when he saw it, and was very uncomfortable.
She felt the pain of being invisible and unheard.
She nodded gently, and said nothing.
Hong Lei said a lot, and Li Siqi never thought that the man in front of her had such a deep affection for her.
She thought it was the time to get along with this man that gave this man her good hallucinations, or something.
She believes in love at first sight, because she is to Jiang Yunchen, but she still can't accept him, can't accept that this will eventually hurt his feelings.
She was so guilty that she said to Hong Lei: "Sorry, let's stop here. If I need to disappear, I can transfer to the hospital."
"Don't!" Hong Lei interrupted her eagerly: "Don't transfer to the hospital, I know you will reject me. I didn't want to be able to walk into your heart, but you saw it, and I wanted to confide my feelings for so many years. Talk, I don't mean to force you."
He spoke sincerely, with trepidation in his eyes, for fear that she would leave.
Li Siqi's heart turned a thousand times, but still couldn't bear to say something hurtful.
She said: "Let's be friends from now on, just be friends."
Her words are so gentle, but so decisive.
Hong Lei had a moment of bitterness, and the word "friend" was the cruelest to men and women.
There will always be a boundary there that cannot be broken or surpassed.
But he still smiled and agreed: "Okay, be a friend."
All the ambiguity was broken in an instant, and the two had their own concerns.
It was getting late, Hong Lei left.
Li Siqi was sitting alone in her arms, her eyes cast into the distance outside the window.
She didn't know if the decision she was making was right, but it was the most suitable one she could make at this stage.
Hong Lei got off work very late and called Jiang Yunchen as soon as he came out of the hospital.
"Hey, Yun Chen, come out for a drink."
Hong Lei leaned on the front of his car, standing in the cold wind, looking up at the lights of Wanjia.
The corners of his coat were blown up by the wind, and the short hair on his forehead blocked the black eyes. As soon as he lowered his head, he felt a little sadness inexplicably.
Jiang Yunchen was a little unexpected when he received the call.
Hong Lei, this kid is okay and seldom takes the initiative to call him, let alone drinking.
Jiang Yunchen instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this person, so he agreed: "Okay, see you in the old place."
When Jiang Yunchen arrived at the bar, Hong Lei had already drunk many bottles, and the empty bottles on the table were scattered.
"Yun Chen, you are here, hurry up, sit down and drink." Hong Lei said, reaching out to pull Jiang Yunchen to sit down.
Jiang Yunchen looked at him and couldn't help frowning, "What's the matter with you? What happened?"
"No." Hong Lei shook his head while holding a glass of wine, sulking.
This doesn't look like it's okay.
Jiang Yunchen murmured silently in his heart.
But this is the case with men, and nothing will be said directly. Men’s friendship is also expressed by practical actions.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Jiang Yunchen didn't ask.
He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Hong Lei: "All right, then I will drink with you."
"it is good!"
Hong Lei, who was already a little drunk, smiled stupidly, his eyes narrowed.
"..." Jiang Yunchen looked at him like a fool.
If he knew that he was so stupid tonight, he probably would have to jump directly from the top of their hospital.
It's really shameful.
If it were not for the friendship for several years, Jiang Yunchen would never drink with him.
Jiang Yunchen had a good amount of alcohol, and he was more restrained, unlike Hong Lei, who drank wildly, and soon became drunk and started talking nonsense.
He suddenly approached Jiang Yunchen, grabbed his collar, and said, "Jiang Yunchen, Jiang Yunchen, why don't you know how to cherish the person in front of you, do you have to wait until the person is gone to know to cherish?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunchen was taken aback.
Hong Lei didn’t notice his strangeness, and continued: “A woman like Li Siqi, you used to stay at home for three years, and you said it was because you couldn’t forget Tang Xiao, so I believe it. But since you don’t like it, why are you doing this? Wouldn't it be okay to provoke others and let her be free? Now that she is pregnant, she still insists on giving birth, something that is so dangerous..."
He was so drunk that he didn't know that Jiang Yunchen's face was full of vegetables at the moment.
Jiang Yunchen suddenly had a thought in his heart.
As soon as his idea came out, Hong Lei confessed his feelings in the next second: "Yun Chen, I like Li Siqi, I like her, I like her..."
Not surprisingly unexpected.
In an instant, Jiang Yunchen's anger went up.
His palms slowly gathered into fists, the blue veins on the back of his hands violently, and the expression in his eyes rose for some unknown time.
In the next second, he gave Hong Lei a punch without hesitation.
The drunk man was knocked to the ground easily by him.
Hong Lei tried to stand up, but his body was limp and his head was dizzy.
I only heard a cold shout: "Hong Lei, do you say that a good friend's wife should not be deceived? Are they all nonsense to me!"
