belated antidote

Chapter 10 Hawthorn

"You're here."

Qi Dongqing's face was illuminated by the lantern under the eaves, and the slight heat on her cheeks was well hidden in the reddish light.

"Well, here we come." Zhong Huaiyuan stood on the steps a few steps away, suddenly hesitated, "Sorry to bother you so late."

Qi Dongqing's expression seemed to froze for a moment, he didn't speak, he walked across the threshold with his mouth pursed, and the distance between the two gradually shortened.About half a meter away, Qi Dongqing stopped, he could feel Zhong Huaiyuan's body leaning back a few degrees without a trace, but the other party didn't move his footsteps, nor did he make a move to end the temptation.

He willfully interpreted this drunken sluggish response as acquiescence, so he leaned forward again, breaking into the category of intimacy with some arrogance.

Zhong Huaiyuan had obviously just left the formal banquet venue, but the expensive fabric that was supposed to tie the neckline was nowhere to be found, leaving only the wide-open disciplinary buttons.This kind of Zhong Huaiyuan lost some of his usual demeanor, but was a little more lively and depressed. Qi Dongqing looked up at him, uncontrollably thumping in his heart.

This was the first time they looked at each other aimlessly, and neither of them spoke, as if any syllable would break the fleeting balance.The smell of each other grabs the sensory nerves domineeringly, and the herbs and alcohol leave traces of entanglement in the spring breeze.

The smell of alcohol with a little fruity fragrance crossed the face with the other person's breath, Qi Dongqing thought dazedly that he must be drunk, otherwise why would he be so bold and try to take advantage of others after taking advantage of the situation? danger.

Qi Dongqing actually knew everything that happened tonight, and Xia Zelan told him everything.

The Xia family's medical equipment company has cooperated with Renji Hospital for more than ten years. The eldest sister knew that he loves to play and took the initiative to take over the family business. Tonight's banquet is naturally a celebration of the family on behalf of the family.The siblings had nothing to say, and Xia Runzhu, who was present, immediately rebroadcasted this unprecedentedly wonderful family ethics drama. After Xia Zelan's second transformation and second creation, Qi Dongqing's ears inevitably had some elements of artistic embellishment.

"Your brother Yuan is really amazing!" Xia Zelan marveled on the phone, fully expressing the pity that he was not there, "Wu Song drank eighteen bowls and killed a tiger, Zhong Huaiyuan only drank a few cups of blended drinks before he dared to give it to you." His old man draws his sword and faces each other."

Qi Dongqing was dubious, and subconsciously maintained the positive image of the male god: "He won't be so irritable."

"Do you want to be so serious? I'm making an analogy... Is there any difference between what he said and the slap on someone's face?" Xia Zelan said speechlessly, "A room full of nobles really doesn't save any face."

"My sister said that she drank a toast for Zhong Huaiyuan's frankness and bravery." Xia Zelan nearly died of laughter on the phone, "The champagne was poured directly on the handmade leather shoes of Boss Li next door hahahahahahaha."

Since Zhong Huaiyuan chose nursing, Professor Zhong has never mentioned him in public.Although Qi Dongqing didn't know the ins and outs of the whole incident, she could still infer from Professor Zhong's daily attitude towards his youngest son that Zhong Huaiyuan's night must have been extremely difficult.

Obviously surrounded by many chattering children, Qi Dongqing's mood became heavy, as if he had foreseen Zhong Huaiyuan's depression.So he sent out the invitation on the spur of the moment, only selfishly hoping that he could have a position to comfort him in an open and aboveboard manner.

Qi Dongqing sniffed some complicated aura on Zhong Huaiyuan's body, besides the obvious alcohol, tobacco also stained his clothes.Only then did he truly feel that Zhong Huaiyuan had really come to his side as he wished.

Qi Dongqing kept moving the tip of her nose slightly, and the very obvious smell made Zhong Huaiyuan's eyes gradually become flustered.He looked down at the overlapping shadows of the two, still a little dazed.Zhong Huaiyuan didn't like the feeling of being out of control, it would make him very insecure. At this moment, he finally realized that the atmosphere between himself and Qi Dongqing was a bit off track.

"Have you been drinking?"

Qi Dongqing's eyes were bright and honest, as pure as the melted snow on the mountain, which made Zhong Huaiyuan unable to think of those dirty things, and he stopped in time when the refusal command reached the nerve endings of his arm.

"Well, but not much." Zhong Huaiyuan rubbed his temples, trying to make himself more awake.

While he was closing his eyes to relax, Qi Dongqing had retreated to his comfortable position, as if the long stare at each other just now had never existed.

A worried voice came from my ear: "Are you dizzy? I'll help you."

Zhong Huaiyuan subconsciously refused, "No need..."

"You used to mess with me in the emergency department before, it's a courtesy. You've been drinking and blowing a lot of wind at the door, don't be brave." Qi Dongqing didn't say a word, and put his hands directly through Zhong Huaiyuan's arms, swaying around Holding his arm, there was no room for him to refuse, "Come on, go upstairs and sit for a while, I'll make you a pot of tea to hangover."

Zhong Huaiyuan couldn't resist him, and was afraid of hurting others during the struggle, so he could only silently accept this overly enthusiastic human crutch.

Whether the steps on the third floor are long or not is not enough for Zhong Huaiyuan to figure out Qi Dongqing's personality.His tenderness is for everyone, but a pair of eyes can only accommodate one person at a time, Zhong Huaiyuan has been infiltrated by his gentle eyes, it is difficult to escape and quit.

He just waited quietly where he was, waiting for others to turn back with tears.There must be many friends who have been comforted by him, but he only crosses one person at a time.Zhong Huaiyuan thought, maybe this is Qi Dongqing's way of expressing respect for friendship.

"Brother Yuan drinks tea." Qi Dongqing tucked in her slightly baggy sleeves, and put the cup on the edge of the opposite table.

"Thank you."

Zhong Huaiyuan looked at the gradually turbid tea in the celadon cup, the curly leaves of the aged tea were ups and downs and unrolled in the boiling water, like a drowning prisoner fish, like a mediocre struggling.

"You're late, otherwise you can skip class." Qi Dongqing propped her chin, and when she tilted her head and spoke, there was still a little baby's fat cheek meat stuck between her fingers, "Oh, but it's not easy for you to come here."

Zhong Huaiyuan glanced at him: "How do you know?"

"It's not difficult to guess. It's obvious that you are dressed for a banquet today. At this point, it may not be easy for you to get away." Qi Dongqing, who knows everything, still pretends to be reasoning, but fortunately The words skills passed the level and successfully deceived the trust.

Zhong Huaiyuan seemed to have no doubts about this statement.

Qi Dongqing seized the opportunity and arranged for the potential next meeting: "I will send you the class schedule later, and you can come if you are interested. You are welcome at any time."

Zhong Huaiyuan couldn't say no to the same coquettish face that Yorkshire at home had when he was begging for food.

The two of them chatted casually while drinking tea, it's no wonder that Zhong Huaiyuan was not in high spirits, and he politely didn't say anything.

"Brother Yuan, in fact, you don't have to force me to talk to me." Qi Dongqing finally couldn't help sighing, "If you can't feel relaxed getting along with me, I will feel very sad."

Qi Dongqing didn't mean to blame the other party at all, he just felt sorry for Zhong Huaiyuan's habit of taking care of other people's emotions despite being very tired.

Zhong Huaiyuan pinched the center of his brows, but no matter what he couldn't dispel the tired look on his face: "I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood tonight."

No matter how slow he was, he still realized that he seemed to have offended the little doctor.

"Brother Yuan and I told you that you don't have to digest your emotions by yourself." Qi Dongqing crossed the table between the two of them, put one hand on the other's shoulder and patted the other's shoulder a few times, "I'm right here , might be able to help."

Feeling the body temperature on his shoulders that was obviously higher than his own, Zhong Huaiyuan was silent for a moment, and finally compromised with the warmth: "Tonight I mentioned my profession on a very important occasion."

"Regarding my choice, few people actually understand me."

Zhong Huaiyuan's voice was not loud, but it was enough to make Qi Dongqing sad.He is like a scenic spot that no one cares about. Too many people pass by, and they would rather believe false rumors than experience it for themselves.

"I think you are engaged in the same sacred profession, with a firmer will and a benevolent heart." Qi Dongqing said, "Doctors, nurses, and nursing staff work together. There should be no distinction between high and low positions in saving lives and healing the wounded."

"It's a pity that most people don't think so." Zhong Huaiyuan smiled self-deprecatingly, "I can't change the discrimination in the industry is the root of my pain."

He used to firmly believe in the simple truth that gold shines everywhere. After transferring to the School of Nursing, he continued to play competitions, publish journals, work on projects, successfully maintain research, and beat all the top students in the medical school with his resume.

Zhong Huaiyuan still couldn't figure out that his major had become the original sin of not being good enough.

To Qi Dongqing, what kind of person is he?

Is it also a stupid X who goes against the current and gives up other people's hard work for ten years and can't get a chance?

Qi Dongqing looked deeply into Zhong Huaiyuan's confused eyes, and expressed her inner thoughts very directly.

"I have never speculated on your intentions. But I know that you, who can make this decision, must need a lot of courage to bear the pressure of being criticized."

"This choice pains you, but you know what, I'm grateful for it."

"It gave me the courage to try things that others think are unreasonable. This is how this branch library was opened. I have never been able to thank you enough."

Zhong Huaiyuan didn't know that his random choice had invisibly become the spiritual motivation of others, but Qi Dongqing's serious appearance didn't seem like he was making up stories to coax him.

One thing is for sure, success made his mood suddenly brighten.But he deserved this "gratitude", and Zhong Huaiyuan finally failed to tell the other party frankly that the root of this decision has nothing to do with courage.

"People can't set their own family, can't control the voices around them, and have too little choice." Qi Dongqing sighed, "It's very common to be used and misunderstood, it's better to focus on the current life, maybe sometimes If you're stupid, you can live a little easier."

Your world collapses, and I will slowly reshape it with you.This is one of the romances that Qi Dongqing can think of.

"Although I once knew you in rumors, I believe in the real relationship with you now." Qi Dongqing said.

Zhong Huaiyuan raised his hand to cover his eyes, blocking the sight that made him feel embarrassed: "Qi Dongqing, don't think so well of me."

Zhong Xingzheng is grabbing the scalpel for money.

Zhong Zhi stopped holding the scalpel for honor.

He dropped the scalpel to vent his anger.

No one is a saint.

"But you're just that good."
