messed up

Chapter 12

Hot pot restaurants on winter nights often give Xu Baiyu’s family a better feel than his own residence: He and Yu Jing don’t eat spicy food, and the surroundings are full of people’s voices that day, and the bustle is as lively as the clear soup in front of them; When I came down, although it was cold and windy outside, the house was as warm as spring; the most important thing was that the person sitting opposite was someone who could speak intimately.

It's not separated by a cold screen, there is no all kinds of cautiousness for fear of offending, and there is no defensiveness that hides a knife in a belly smile, and flattery based on the balance of interests, and there is no need to disassemble each other's every word to distinguish the true from the false.Xu Baiyu enjoys this feeling, even at a certain moment, he suddenly wants to continue this kind of time, to a distance beyond his reach.

"I'm really angry today." Xu Baiyu told Yu Jing what happened this afternoon long before the dishes were served. At this time, he was rolling the mutton into the pot with serving chopsticks, watching the heat steaming in front of his eyes. , he smiled lowly: "Mr. Yu, in your opinion, this kind of thing about me should be ridiculous?"

"How could it be?" Yu Jing sat across the table and looked at him with squinted smiles: "It's very normal, there will be no shortage anywhere, and it's the same in our unit."

Xu Baiyu was aroused by his words, he looked at this person: "Then how do you deal with it?"

Yu Jing shook her head with a smile, and her tone was as gentle as ever: "I used to argue with them when I met them, but now, I don't care about these things and let them go. But they usually don't find trouble. On my head."

Xu Baiyu sighed, and took out the mutton roll that he had just ordered and put it in Yu Jing's bowl: "Now I really admire my senior brother more and more."

"You mean Dr. Pei?" Yu Jing was a little curious, and then he asked, "Why?"

"When I was studying, my senior brother liked to show off in front of me. He always joked with me, saying that I don't have to worry about it, and that he will protect me in case of accident." Xu Baiyu laughed self-deprecatingly: "I was very dissatisfied at the time, but now Thinking about it, I also have to admit that in fact, he has been helping me in many things before."

"It's pretty good," Yu Jing looked at him, "It's not easy to meet a friend who treats you wholeheartedly."

"Indeed, it's really rare." Xu Baiyu knew that Yu Jing couldn't drink alcohol, so he only ordered a pinch of juice this day.He poured the juice into Yu Jing's cup and said with a smile: "I not only admire him, but also envy him. When I was adolescence, I was in the second grade. At that time, I only wanted to be a strong person, but what kind of talent is it?" Is it considered powerful?" He said to himself, "I didn't know it back then, but only now I found out, it's probably his kind of person."

Yu Jing was silent for a while, picked up the glass and took a sip of juice: "You are already very good, there is no shortage of strong people in the world, there is no need to always think about that."

"Thank you." Xu Baiyu picked up his own cup and clinked glasses with him, then jokingly said, "Although I don't believe it."

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, this is how the world is." Yu Jing ate a few mouthfuls of food, "There are quite a few glamorous people, but there are also too many down-and-out people."

When these words hit Xu Baiyu's ears, he was eating rice cakes with his head down, and he raised his head involuntarily when he heard the words.Strange to say, since he met Yu Jing, he has always been calm and composed in his impression; except when facing the sick old man, this is the first time he has seen a bit of loneliness from Yu Jing.

Xu Baiyu felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, and wanted to change the topic, but before he could speak, Yu Jing returned to her usual modest and gentle appearance, and said to him with a smile, "I want to tell a fable."

"Let's talk about it." Xu Baiyu also smiled: "I would like to hear the details."

"It is said that there was an aristocrat in the Shang Dynasty who died very young. After he passed away, his subordinates put a lot of currency shells that were commonly used at that time in his tomb for burial. This is very eminent." Yu Jing looked at The heat in front of him was steaming, and he said: "But thousands of years later, when the archaeologists opened his tomb, they were only surprised and disappointed. They said with emotion, why there is only a pile of gold in the tomb of this nobleman?" What about the cheap shells?"

Xu Baiyu smiled: "Indeed, famers are exhausted to get what they want, but it is actually worthless in front of time."

"Yes," Yu Jing clinked glasses with Xu Baiyu: "Life is the most valuable, and the most important thing is to be alive, and everything else must come in the back."

Yu Jing still didn't eat much that night.Xu Baiyu originally wanted to tell him to let him eat more, but after thinking about it, Yu Jing was already in her thirties, so she knew well about the basic necessities of life, so it seemed that it was not good to keep telling others about it.

However, when he saw Yu Jing walking into the cold night holding the scarf he had given him earlier, he couldn't hold back after all, and blurted out before his brain gave the order to think twice: "Mr. Yu is not used to wearing scarves?" ? Didn’t you still wear it when you came here just now?”

Hearing this, Yu Jing suddenly stopped in her tracks: "It's true that I'm not used to it. When I came here, it was because my dad was always nagging, so I put it on to make him feel at ease." He glanced at the scarf in his hand, and then Turning to look at Xu Baiyu: "Thank you, Doctor Xu." After saying that, he put the scarf around his neck.

Is this thank you for giving him the scarf at the beginning or for the kindness and concern now?Xu Baiyu pondered for a while, but he didn't understand until he got to Yu Jing's car.

"You should just call me by my name." Xu Baiyu sat in the passenger seat: "I always find it a little strange to call you Doctor Xu."

"Why?" Yu Jing asked while starting the car, "Don't everyone else call it that?"

Xu Baiyu looked at him and said solemnly: "This is not in a hospital."

"That's right." Yu Jing suddenly felt that Xu Baiyu was very interesting, so she asked with a smile, "What year are you from?"

"In 27, you will be almost [-]." After finishing speaking, Xu Baiyu hastily added, "Teacher Yu told me that you were born in [-]."

If it wasn't for the bad lighting, Xu Baiyu would have been able to see that Yu Jing's smile was much deeper than before.It's been a long time since this man talked about such homely things with anyone. Since his mother passed away a few years ago and his father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, his life has never been easier.At this moment, he was chatting with Xu Baiyu, and he felt that the other party's words with a smile were like the warm sun after a snowstorm, which was more warm than usual.

"Then I'll call you Xiao Xu, do you have any objections?" Yu Jing asked with a smile.

"Of course." Xu Baiyu replied, "I can't ask for it."

"Mr. Yu, thank you for taking me back." Yu Jing parked the car at the gate of the community, and Xu Baiyu deliberately smiled at Yu Jing before getting out of the car: "See you tomorrow."

"Okay." Yu Jing responded with a smile.

Looking at the back of Xu Baiyu leaving under the night, Yu Jing felt a little unreal.Many years ago, he understood that in fact, most people are related by the word "benefit". It is the duty to stand on the sidelines without relatives or reasons, and there is no guarantee that people who are acquainted with you will abandon you one day.If you meet someone who can give you a few words of relief and help you when you are in trouble, you are already a great kind person, how can you ask for anything else?

Yu Jing was stunned for a while, and then put her hands on the steering wheel again until she could no longer see the figure of the man.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xu Baiyu went there a little earlier.He had just arrived at the consulting room and was collecting the materials when he heard a nurse calling him, "Dr. Xu, come here quickly! A patient is here, and his condition is not very good."

"Come here." The nurse ran away after she finished speaking, Xu Baiyu hurriedly responded and also ran out in a hurry.

When Xu Baiyu arrived, Dr. Wu was communicating with the patient's family about the condition.An old man was lying on the hospital bed, and there were two middle-aged men standing beside the bed, about 50 years old.Xu Baiyu felt that they were probably husband and wife, possibly the old man's son and daughter-in-law.

Dr. Wu, like Xu Baiyu, also graduated from S University, but this person is now in his thirties, has been promoted to deputy high school, and has been a master's supervisor since last year.Dr. Wu observed the patient carefully: "When did it start?"

"Doctor, my father was fine this morning, but just as he was about to go to bed after lunch, he suddenly had a headache." The man quickly replied, "His head hurts so badly that he can't speak."

"What did he do at noon?" Dr. Wu continued to ask, "Did you encounter anything particularly exciting?"

"That's not true," the man quickly responded, "But he drank a lot at noon today."

Dr. Wu nodded: "Have you ever had any other illnesses? Have you ever had a ruptured aneurysm?"

"No." The man thought about it carefully: "But he has always liked to drink, and his blood pressure is quite high, for several years."

"Okay, let's go for an examination first." Dr. Wu said, "Take a CT scan of the head."

"Okay." The man responded quickly.

"This old man was sent to the emergency department when he first came here, and he was transferred from the emergency department." After instructing the patient, Dr. Wu explained to Xu Baiyu: "I think it may be subarachnoid hemorrhage, let them first Let’s have an examination, if it’s not optimistic, we’ll have to go to neurosurgery to arrange surgery.”

Xu Baiyu sighed: "This old man, how can he drink so well?"

"Who wouldn't say that." Dr. Wu shook his head: "It's quite old."

The man came back soon with the CT results. Dr. Wu looked carefully and frowned slightly: "Xiao Xu, look, the patient is indeed subarachnoid hemorrhage, but the condition is not very serious." While writing the medical records, he said: "Arrange for hospitalization first, and stabilize her with medication. Xiao Xu, go to the ward and take a look, and call me immediately if you have any problems."

"Hospitalized?" The man was stunned, and his words became less rational: "My father was fine this morning, why is he going to be hospitalized all of a sudden?"

"This is normal." Xu Baiyu hurriedly explained: "This kind of disease is often acute, and the onset is usually very rapid."

"Okay," the man hurriedly replied before recovering from the shock and panic, "I'll go through the formalities right away."
