belated antidote

Chapter 12 Huang Cen

"Please also take pity on my sincerity."

With a slightly choked voice like a floating reed sweeping past his ears, Zhong Huaiyuan raised and lowered his hand, and finally clenched it into a fist and threw it behind his back.

There was a warm mist in Qi Dongqing's eyes, as if the tip of his nose twitched once more, tears would roll out.But he held back, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed into a straight line, like the seal of a packaging bag without jagged teeth.

He knew that this was not a good time to confess, not to mention that the other party might not be willing to listen.What Zhong Huaiyuan thought in his heart was always pure friendship without adulteration, no wonder he was embarrassed by his own impure motives.

Adults often don't need to say clearly what they like, Qi Dongqing didn't deliberately hide it, and Zhong Huaiyuan is so smart, how could he not see it.The relationship between the two of them has entered into a very awkward dead corner. If you take two steps back, you can only deceive yourself and pretend that nothing happened.

Qi Dongqing knew that from the moment he gritted his teeth and decided to take the initiative, bloodshed was his only choice.He will be hurt, cry and shrink back, but he dare not and is unwilling to give up.In the face of slim hope, Qi Dongqing is also willing to face it with the mentality that it is inevitable.

"Sorry, I lost my composure."

Qi Dongqing turned his head away and secretly wiped away the wetness from the corners of his eyes. This cautious scene fell into Zhong Huaiyuan's eyes, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

The self-assertion of "for his own good" still hurt him in the end, Zhong Huaiyuan felt a little guilty.Facing Qi Dongqing, it was difficult for him to show the crispness he used to reject others, so that he said some impulsive words next.

"I respect your mood very much, but I also need time to sort out and think about it."

Zhong Huaiyuan handed the handkerchief he carried with him to Qi Dongqing, who obviously didn't want him to see his reddened eye sockets, and kept dodging.The habit of touching eyes with fingers is not good, and the little doctor should be supervised to get rid of it in the future.He sighed and could only fold the handkerchief and stuff it into the breast pocket of his suit.

Qi Dongqing kneaded the cloth of the handkerchief soaked in the fragrance of the other party's body, and couldn't control the soreness of her nose: "Brother Yuan, I didn't mean to trouble you..."

"I know, so don't cry." Zhong Huaiyuan actually tasted a little bit of bitterness between his teeth.

Zhong Huaiyuan grew up in a family environment with absent parents, not to mention the crystallization of love, and could not escape the shackles of "evil fate" from birth.The appearance of love is very vague in his eyes. The mutual support of grandparents and the sublimated family relationship are his direct definitions of this word.

When it comes to emotional issues, Zhong Huaiyuan has always been a genuinely poor student, because he doesn't know how to deal with it, so he subconsciously avoids it.Zhong Huaiyuan knew that he had no experience in being a boyfriend, even thinking about it would make him feel at a loss.He didn't have the confidence to be able to get along with Qi Dongqing as a couple for a long time, but he was also unwilling to take advantage of the short-term but exceptionally compatible fate.

Trying to digest and respond to other people's feelings is a compulsory course that Zhong Huaiyuan cannot avoid.All he can do right now is to give a promise that he will seriously examine the relationship between the two.

"Qi Dongqing, don't cry until I give a formal answer." Zhong Huaiyuan tried his best to wrap his words in a gentle voice, which could dispel the other party's anxiety to the greatest extent, "But I'm not sure how long it will take, it's a big deal for me It's a bit difficult, I don't want to lie to you."

The little doctor has well-developed lacrimal glands, and the humidity of the air around him seems to have risen a lot in just a short while.Zhong Huaiyuan knew that Qi Dongqing would definitely cry that day, but he couldn't guarantee whether the tears at that time would be wrapped in joy or sadness.

Qi Dongqing obviously didn't expect Zhong Huaiyuan to say that, the moment he suddenly raised his head, the drops of water hanging from his eyelashes fell to the ground with a clatter.He couldn't switch his emotions between great sorrow and great joy, so he could only nod blankly at the other party's gradually obvious smile.

"I can wait as long as I want." Qi Dongqing secretly glanced at Zhong Huaiyuan: "Then can I still find you?"

"I'm sorry, it was my inappropriate handling that made you feel uncomfortable." Zhong Huaiyuan felt a little annoyed at his immature behavior, "It's good that we get back to the normal relationship we had before."

"Then I will continue to share my daily life with you."

"can."

"Let's continue having breakfast together after the night shift."

"Ah."

"You won't be perfunctory when chatting, will you?"

"Not anymore."

"Don't make yourself feel wronged to eat in the cafeteria just to avoid me, okay?"

As an employee, Zhong Huaiyuan still wanted to save the face of the unit: "In fact, Renji's cafeteria is still acceptable..."

"I experienced it before when I was a trainee. It's really normal." Qi Dongqing burst out laughing, "I used to bring my own lunch box when I was free."

The sound of chasing and fighting gradually sounded outside, and it was the end of the lecture in the nearby gymnasium.Qi Dongqing and Zhong Huaiyuan walked out side by side, and they parted ways in the parking lot.

On the bus back to the hospital, Zhong Huaiyuan received a message from Qi Dongqing.

Qi Dongqing: [Before I figure out how to express my heart, you don't have to rush to answer me. ]

Qi Dongqing: [My feelings for you cannot be summed up in the word "like". ]

Qi Dongqing: [Although this sentence is superficial, after so many years of hesitation, I decided to tell you. ]

Qi Dongqing: [voice message]

Zhong Huaiyuan put on the earphones, and lightly touched the small white rectangle on the screen. The other party was a little shy and blunt, like a bayberry soaked in sparkling water, and a bit of pungent sweet and sour burst out when he bit it lightly.

The colleague sitting next to him had never seen Zhong Huaiyuan's casual and natural smile before, and was a little surprised: "Head nurse, what's so happy about it?"

Zhong Huaiyuan raised his hands to cover his ears, and answered the wrong question: "Well, it's okay."

Qi Dongqing, who returned to Hechun Hall, was still a little vain, afraid that if she took one more step, she would fall from the dream and return to reality.

He glanced at the unanswered voice on the phone screen, and a large area of ​​blush burned on his face.Xia Zelan, who had just returned from a medical visit outside, saw Qi Dongqing suffocated into a big apple as soon as she entered the door.

"You can meet another spring in your life in elementary school?" Xia Zelan pushed him back to the consulting room, "What's going on?"

Qi Dongqing hurriedly locked the screen: "I met Zhong Huaiyuan."

"Good guy, this can happen to me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xia Zelan cupped her hands, "Yuelao chased after his butt and pulled red lines between you two, that's right."

"It would be great if there was a marriage line, and now it's just a red wrapping rope that I put on in a shameless way." Qi Dongqing propped her chin and let out a long sigh.

Suddenly he straightened up and asked seriously: "Speaking of which, am I really that obvious?"

Xia Zelan glanced at him with a little distaste: "How should I put it, Zhong Huaiyuan sees that you probably did a test paper in which the questioner didn't delete the answer."

"Ah..." Qi Dongqing fell down on the table as if resigned to her fate.

"Of course I can't blame you, it's not necessarily a bad thing if you can't hide it, he will know sooner or later." Xia Zelan rubbed Qi Dongqing's head reassuringly, "According to my experience, it's better to just give it a go. "

Qi Dongqing mercilessly exposed him: "Is that your serious experience?"

"It's the same, but a little different." Xia Zelan spread her hands, "You and I have different starting points, but the goal is the same."

Finding a pao friend is different from finding a boyfriend, but the difference is thousands of miles.Qi Dongqing didn't think there could be a healthy analogy between the two, but he fully understood that Xia Zelan had good intentions.

"Although I didn't make a formal confession, I should be quite straightforward." Qi Dongqing remembered that there was still a handkerchief in his pocket, and when he took it out, it gave off a smell that didn't belong to him.

Xia Zelan teased him on purpose: "Tsk tsk, it's all been exchanged for tokens."

Qi Dongqing folded the handkerchief and put it in her drawer: "Don't make jokes, we haven't developed to this point yet."

"Then tell me where you've developed it? Look at your face when you came back just now. Something must have happened when you two met just now?"

Qi Dongqing recalled the quick freezing period he had just experienced, and said euphemistically: "Some time ago he noticed my thoughts and avoided me a little, but..."

The similar scene brought back distant memories, and Xia Zelan became angry all of a sudden: "If you don't like it, your face will turn red, isn't this raising fish?"

"No, don't worry, listen to me first." Qi Dongqing squeezed the fist that was flying in the air, "We talked before we came back in the afternoon. He was cold-handed before because he was flustered, but he said he would be serious Consider our relationship."

"Hmph, what you said sounds nice, but I'm afraid you'll be fooled by someone again." Xia Zelan sneered, "If Zhong Huaiyuan fishes you like that trash, you, Master Xia, I'll be the first to rush to him Cut off!"

"Don't worry, I know it. I promise, Zhong Huaiyuan is different from him."

The bad luck of being teased by others used to be a lingering haze in Qi Dongqing's heart.During college, whenever he wanted to get close to Zhong Huaiyuan, malicious eyes and ugly words surged from his memory, firmly nailing him in place.

Fortunately, Zhong Huaiyuan did not underestimate him or ignore his feelings, and was able to confess his true thoughts without reservation and give him equal respect.

The future is long, and about liking him, Qi Dongqing firmly believes that sooner or later that person will give him a responsible answer.
