belated antidote

Chapter 11 1 point red

===

After that day, Zhong Huaiyuan did receive the schedule sent by Qi Dongqing, not only the course schedule, but also the usual consultation time. The colorful filled color blocks on the excel are as dazzling as the lights and shadows of a disco ball spinning.

Zhong Huaiyuan's alcohol capacity is not bad, but when emotions and alcohol surge together, his brain will still be dominated by sensibility for a moment.But the next day when he woke up from his long-lost deep sleep and looked at the files in the chat interface, he finally noticed something weird sensitively.

When I was in college, friends around me always shared schedules with each other in order to use each other’s free time to develop and enhance our relationship. Exchanging schedules was somewhat a symbol of intimacy.

Of course, he could understand this behavior as the little doctor's unreserved and frankness to his friends, but for a person who just got acquainted, is this level of privacy exposure really okay?

Faced with such a strange situation, Zhong Huaiyuan could only adjust the embarrassment in his heart with a half-ridiculous tone: "Doctor Xiao Qi's desire to share is quite special. Don't send it to others in the future. Be careful, being used by someone who cares Very dangerous."

The other party immediately responded with an angry cat head, and then said: "I'm not a big star and want to disclose the itinerary, I only sent it to you!"

Qi Dongqing was not shy at all, and hit a straight ball bravely and frankly.

The dialogue directly pushed the situation to the alley where Zhong Huaiyuan least expected.That's right, approaching involuntarily, with charming eyes and gentle and ambiguous words, it seems that there is an answer ready to come out.Before the spring breeze blew across the river embankment, there was no advance notice, and the willow tree could only shake a few times aimlessly, giving a perfunctory and blank response.

Zhong Huaiyuan was like wicker in the wind, no matter how complicated the sudden attack was, he was not as helpless as he was at this moment.He knew that Qi Dongqing was different. That night, for a moment, he longed for the tenderness that made his tense nerves gradually soften, and he also wanted to put the tip of his nose close to the other's beating pulse to smell the soothing and warm fragrance.

But as long as you withdraw before becoming addicted, everything seems to be able to return to zero.

Unable to decide on the right mood and the right way to face or even respond to Qi Dongqing, after a brief struggle, he chose to be more decisive than perfunctory silence.

Unrequited one-way emotional release is flooding and desperate, Zhong Huaiyuan, who understands this kind of pain, must force it on Qi Dongqing at this moment.He hoped that Qi Dongqing would shrink back because of his evasive attitude, but he obviously underestimated the other party's patience and determination.

Fortunately, the emergency center was busy enough, and this job was a haven for Zhong Huaiyuan to avoid all difficulties in life.Immerse yourself in the life of different individuals every day, feel every independent joy and sorrow, regret it but can't be overly sympathetic.Zhong Huaiyuan has long practiced the skill of getting out of his emotions, but Qi Dongqing seems to be a small invisible crack on his iron-blooded armor.

When the two met again, it was already spring full of April, the coolness in the morning and evening had completely lost their aggressiveness, and the cherry blossoms on the campus were pressing down on the branches, attracting distracted students in class.

Zhong Huaiyuan came to the Primary School Attached to National Medical University this time as a member of the publicity team of the Emergency Medicine Department of Renji Hospital to carry out the activity of "Entering First Aid Knowledge into Campus".He seldom participated in such activities in the past, but when the notice came out this time, Zhong Huaiyuan suddenly thought of Qi Dongqing surrounded by children in front of Hechun Hall, and submitted the application form like a ghost.

The little boy in front of the podium showed envious eyes: "Brother is wearing a white coat, are you a doctor?"

Zhong Huaiyuan knelt down and patted his head, and said with a smile, "No, brother is a nurse."

The little boy tilted his head in doubt: "Then why don't you wear long pink clothes like my mother?"

The little girl with two stripes pinned her elbow to her deskmate and replied solemnly, "Brother is a boy, how can he wear girl's clothes?"

"Can a man be a nurse?"

Facing the clear and innocent eyes, Zhong Huaiyuan unconsciously softened his tone a lot when speaking: "In the future, you can do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with gender."

Such words may be too profound, Zhong Huaiyuan explained in another way: "Did you see the security aunt at the gate when you entered the school in the morning?"

"I say hello to her every day!" The boy nodded, "But we usually see more security uncles."

"Brother is just like the aunt who protects you, which is relatively rare in the industry." Zhong Huaiyuan found out the group photo of the nurses in the emergency center on his mobile phone, "Look, there are many nurse brothers like me in the place where I work. "

The boy's face was full of ignorance, these words were like a hazy moon to him, but he still nodded politely, expressing that he was really listening carefully.

The bell for the team class rang, Zhong Huaiyuan ended his conversation with the two children, and started the task of coming here.He cooperated with the animation pictures uniformly produced by the Propaganda Department to explain the common drowning first aid, dog bite treatment and burn treatment among primary and middle school students. At the same time, he led everyone to do standard seven-step hand washing exercises, and the classroom atmosphere was very active.

The children were lively and active, and they were full of curiosity about the medical mannequins used to explain the on-site first aid CPR. All of them raised their hands high and wanted to touch the stage.While Zhong Huaiyuan patiently corrected the CPR posture, he also gave candy comfort to the children who didn't get the chance.

After class, the children gathered around to ask questions, Zhong Huaiyuan never realized that he was so fond of children.

The head teacher organized the order from the side, and said to Zhong Huaiyuan with a smile: "The children in our class are used to being mischievous. It seems that everyone likes you very much."

Zhong Huaiyuan twitched the corner of his mouth: "I was afraid of scaring them before I came."

The teacher in charge shook his head quickly and said, "How could that be! Although Ms. Zhong looks like the dean of the school, you are actually very patient and gentle when you get along with the children."

Under Zhong Huaiyuan's suspicious eyes, the class teacher sent him out of the door: "Children are the most deceitful. They can feel that you are good to them, and they can't help but show it."

"Students, say goodbye to brother nurse."

"Goodbye, brother nurse!"

Zhong Huaiyuan felt a rare joy in the milky but extraordinarily loud voice. He thought that people who get along with children for a long time will become simple and pure.

The little boy who was chatting with him at the beginning suddenly stood up, blushed and shouted, "I want to be an angel in white like my brother in the future!"

Amidst the laughter of the classmates, Zhong Huaiyuan walked up to him, took off the commemorative badge of the hospital pinned to his chest, and put it into his pencil case.

"Then you have to work hard and study hard from now on. My brother is waiting for you at Renji Hospital."

Even when he walked to the garden in the atrium of the teaching area, Zhong Huaiyuan still remembered the firm look in his eyes just now.Most of his childhood thoughts are fleeting, Zhong Huaiyuan is not sure how long the child's sudden vow can last, but at least at this moment, his yearning for this strange profession is enthusiastic.

Every serious decision deserves to be affirmed and respected, even if it comes from the mouth of an eight-year-old child.

"Master Zhong."

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, Zhong Huaiyuan turned around and saw Qi Dongqing in a flower bed not far away.

He stepped on the bluestone slabs that paved the path, and on his head were snow-like cherry blossoms. The cascades of flowers bent one of the branches extremely, trembling and shaking off the petals above his head.

Zhong Huaiyuan's heart twitched slightly following the colorful clusters.

Qi Dongqing actually wanted to call those two words as usual, but she finally stopped.In addition to fearing unnecessary speculation about Zhong Huaiyuan if colleagues from Renji ran into him, he was even more worried that his ignorant bluntness would make people turn around and leave.

Qi Dongqing did feel the obvious change in Zhong Huaiyuan's attitude, but it was not indifferent, but the alienation that had finally faded was back again.Qi Dongqing felt that the wall between the two of them, which he could not overcome no matter what, was rebuilt into a tall building after a short period of disintegration, and he was once again shrouded in shadow.

The feeling of chasing light in a dark alley is very familiar, but it also makes him suffocate.Even so, he could only pretend to be nonchalant and take the initiative to say hello:

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The sensible expression on Qi Dongqing's face and the sense of propriety in his words made Zhong Huaiyuan feel a little inexplicably guilty. He waved his hand, trying to make himself more natural: "It's a coincidence. Why is Dr. Qi here?"

Qi Dongqing walked towards him along the bluestone road, stepping on the red powder that died on the ground with every step.

"I'm here to chat with the school about work." Qi Dongqing said, "The Primary School Affiliated to National Medical University wants to cooperate with my branch library to carry out off-campus practical classes, and it has almost been negotiated."

Zhong Huaiyuan said sincerely, "Congratulations."

Zhong Huaiyuan realized belatedly that the person in front of him is a wild green plant that does not need to be attached to his home, and there is no need to use Kazuki Fragrance as a bargaining chip to achieve any purpose.Tenderness stems from his generosity and sincerity to those around him.

Thinking of this, Zhong Huaiyuan, who was still in a state of confusion, didn't know how to face Qi Dongqing.

Qi Dongqing pulled out the cherry blossom that made him itchy from his hair, rolled it into his palm, and said in a relaxed tone, "I haven't officially signed the contract yet, but thank you for your blessing. Let's just think it was received at the launching ceremony."

After dozens of seconds of unromantic silence, Qi Dongqing finally raised his head again, and extended the invitation with a smile: "I am the first student here, shall I show you around the school?"

The health lectures offered by other colleagues in the gymnasium for senior students have not yet ended, and Zhong Huaiyuan, who followed the car back together, had no reason to refuse.

Along the way, in order to gain control of the topic, Zhong Huaiyuan took the initiative to share interesting stories from the lecture just now.Qi Dongqing nodded slightly, and occasionally said a few words of pandering.Zhong Huaiyuan could feel the depression of the little doctor, but he knew the reason but couldn't prescribe the right medicine.

The distance between him and Qi Dongqing needs to be firmly grasped. They can be friends who care about each other, but he is not ready nor envisioned other deeper and more unstable relationships.

Zhong Huaiyuan yearns for feelings, but never gets involved in the mysterious waters filled with unknowns.

Unknowingly, the two walked to the Theater of Dreams.There are two flowing designs on the edge of the full dome, like wings rising from the sky.There are many photo frames hanging on the wall outside the theater, recording the silhouettes of different students' performances and competitions.

Qi Dongqing led Zhong Huaiyuan to look at them one by one until they approached the end of the corridor.That photo clearly shows traces of aging. There is a little boy in a cute white shirt and suspenders, holding a microphone without any stage fright.

Zhong Huaiyuan recognized Qi Dongqing when he was a child at first sight.

"I made you feel abrupt." Qi Dongqing looked at himself on the wall, slightly lost in thought, and didn't look at him when he spoke.

Zhong Huaiyuan couldn't lie to his conscience, he could only admit: "You are right, it is my problem."

"I was wrong. I agreed to proceed step by step, but I couldn't hold back my greed." Qi Dongqing felt her nose a little sour, "I know you are rejecting me, but when I saw you today, I couldn't help but cling to you."

Zhong Huaiyuan didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say a feeble "I'm sorry".

"You can kindly tolerate Tong Yan Wuji in the classroom, what about me?" Qi Dongqing caressed her seven-year-old self in the photo, pleading sadly, "Zhong Huaiyuan, before I have the courage to express my feelings, you also Please take pity on me sincerely."
