Chapter 39
Six years later, Qiao Bowen didn't save Tian Anping after donating a kidney, so she left anyway.
Song Enyu felt regretful when he asked. He just wanted to apologize.Qiao Bowen's old laughter sounded, and he said in a normal tone, "It's nothing. The most important thing about being a doctor is to be indifferent to life, old age, sickness and death."
Song Enyu's nose suddenly became sour, and he simply took advantage of this gap to ask out his curiosity.
Qiao Bowen recalled the most dangerous time, countless nights he could not sleep, he needed to come in to take care of Tian Anping from time to time.He searched through medical books from all over the world, ancient and modern, and asked all his colleagues, but in the end he couldn't save him.
"I'm not desperate. I couldn't care less about despair at that time. If I was desperate, Anping would not be able to live anymore. The real despair is that after she left, I found that our family really lost one person." Qiao Bowen said explained.
Song Enyu boldly asked the last question: "You, why did you choose Shimu back then?"
Qiao Bowen didn't expect this kid to ask such a cryptic question.Holding his wrinkled fingers, he nodded at Song Enyu and said with a smile, "You're the only one who dares to ask that!"
Then he stood up, walked to the window of the laboratory, took off his reading glasses, and looked at the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance, reminiscing about the dawn like a person in his old age.
"Because of a seven leaf and a branch of a flower." Qiao Bowen began to fall into long-term memories, "Your teacher and I met in Yunnan and Guizhou. At that time, I happened to be assigned to Yuetou Village where Anping was. I followed the production team during the day. Working, reclaiming wasteland, planting and harvesting food. I always start my research at night, and I lived in Anping’s house at that time. There are many children in Anping’s family. She is the eldest sister. Her parents treat me very well and always let Anping Ping does more, I do less. An Ping has the most simple and beautiful qualities, kindness, hard work, bravery, and intelligence. Everyone thinks that she is illiterate, but illiteracy is just the level of education. She is not blind, and intelligence is a talent. , This is God's only preference for her.
Because of such an opportunity to concentrate on studying, I began to enter the field of Chinese medicine.The wealth left by our ancestors on traditional Chinese medicine is simply a treasure house for my research.I tried the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine to treat sepsis.There are a lot of people with sores in the summer in Yunnan and Guizhou. Although it may seem that it is easy to treat now, but at that time, if the sores were not treated in time, it might cause sepsis. In this way, they all became my patients.The combination of Chinese and Western, first of all, is the collection of some traditional Chinese medicinal materials. To treat this symptom, I first noticed Chonglou, which is Aescin.It is not difficult to pick and collect it, what is rare is its dosage, because it is slightly poisonous, where the critical point of the amount of healing and poisoning has become a problem.At this time, An Ping offered to test the medicine for me. "
Speaking of this, Qiao Bowen's eyes and mind returned to 50 years ago: "I asked An Ping if she knew what testing medicine meant? She said she knew, but if her sacrifice could save countless lives, she felt it was not a loss. I I still remember that I was under the kerosene lamp at that time, I looked at her eyes as clear as jade, and I said easily, "How could I let you die, you test the medicine for me, which means that you will become my wife of Qiao Bowen. This is It's a bigger matter than life and death." At that time, An Ping scolded me for not being serious, and then ran away. I didn't use her to test the medicine, I married her as my wife, there was no bride price, only a horse chestnut. "
Song Enyu took advantage of Qiao Bowen's turning back and wiped away the tears on his face. He stood up and walked to Qiao Bowen's side, only to find that the pale-haired old man's face was already full of tears.
Song Enyu swallowed back the words, Qiao Bowen kept wiping his tears and rubbing his eyes with both hands.Like a child who is being talked about in the middle, Song Enyu handed the teacher a tissue and rubbed it along his twitching back for him.
After waiting for a long time, Qiao Bowen turned around and thanked Song Enyu, and then explained his gaffe: "I always feel that An Ping is still there, so once I find out that she has left, I will feel uncomfortable. You are not allowed to say it, Mr. Qiao has to be That Yushu Linfeng old Qiao."
Song Enyu smiled and agreed: "Okay, it's the romantic and suave Mr. Qiao."
The two of them walked towards the test bench again, when Qiao Bowen suddenly stopped, looked at Song Enyu solemnly and said, "I didn't marry An Ping because she was willing to sacrifice for me. Even if there was no such thing, I would still marry her .Because I really like this person. Whether she is 19 years old or 29 years old, whether she is as beautiful as a flower or as old as a child, I love her. If you ask me what love is, I can’t describe it. I can think of Aesculus chinensis, and the pair of crystal clear eyes under the kerosene lamp. So Xiao Song, if you really have love, if you really like it, don’t leave any regrets. Doctors don’t heal hearts, let alone regrets. Wait until I At this age, all that remains is to repeat day after day, repeat the same day, and then wait to die. Mr. Qiao is still Mr. Qiao who is facing the wind in Yushu, but Mr. Qiao is also Mr. Qiao who is begging to die and waiting to die."
Listening to such earnest instructions, Song Enyu also asked his own confusion: "But the identity, status, age, and even gender of the person I like are not equal, so..."
With a gossip smile on Qiao Bowen's face, he glanced sideways at him: "I said you kid, you must be in love recently, you still don't admit it?"
Song Enyu spread his hands helplessly: "We are really not in a relationship, it doesn't matter, but we are doing what all couples would do."
Qiao Bowen walked forward and replied: "Ask less about relationships and more about feelings. Relationships are shackles." He turned around and asked Song Enyu: "Do you like him?"
"I like it." Song Enyu didn't even think about it, "Why don't you like it, teacher. I have dreamed of him thousands of times. I fell in love with him for the first time that year, and fell in love with him again when I was 22 years old. But I just don't know how to bear such a liking. As I told you, I don't seem to have any meaning worthy of being owned by him other than dedicating myself in front of him."
Qiao Bowen understood, and then explained to him with a smile: "You mean, there is a feeling of being raised without expecting anything in return, and you also want to help him do something, so that you feel that love is meaningful. Love It's not about giving, it's about being loved. Right?"
Song Enyu nodded frantically.
"Why don't you ask him what's the point of needing you? Xiao Song, love is actually the most equal relationship. It's his love for him to buy you a car, and it's you for you to bring him a cup of hot water." My love, it’s the same. But if you keep your love in your heart and only talk to me, then you two will never feel equal. Although An Ping has always felt that being with me is very high in front of outsiders, but she They all put love in the details. Love is companionship. When she was weakest, she was willing to accompany me to gather medicine, go to lectures, and participate in various exchange meetings. When I got home, love became a delicious meal. When writing reading notes in lower case, she would study the ink and ask for advice, 'How do you pronounce this character?'”
Qiao Bowen patted Song Enyu on the shoulder: "If he is a businessman, you help him make a deal. Is this love? This is his employee. If he is a doctor, you need to complete an operation with him Can you prove your worth? This is his assistant. Excellence has nothing to do with being loved. So, you can show your enthusiasm instead of avoiding him like you are now."
Song Enyu smiled, and the smile was clear and clear: "Okay, I have written it all down."
Qiao Bowen began to put on his reading glasses, put on his white coat, and said with a long sigh, "Oh, today's class is the most meaningful class I have taught for so many years."
If you really like it, don't regret it.
It was already evening when Song Enyu left the laboratory, and he watched Qiao Bowen leave gracefully on his bicycle.He had just returned to the dormitory, and thinking of those words along the way, the fog that had lingered in his heart for so long dissipated like this.To love is not to give, but to be loved is.
Thinking of this, he also wanted to call Jiang Zhixu.But as soon as he took out his mobile phone, Qi Wuyang happened to be displayed on the screen.
"Master Song, Fang Yu is back. He told us to go out and get together. Are you still in the laboratory building?"
"Okay, then I'll go directly to the east gate and wait for you two."
School starts tomorrow, and Li Fangyu is back.The call to Jiang Zhixu was never made again.And the other party has been busy with overseas branch affairs recently, so he really doesn't have much time.
Song Enyu thought, it would be better when the two of them first got together, how could they be so busy.He can hang on to each other every day.Thinking of this, he suddenly missed the "home" that Jiang Zhixu had prepared for him.He was wondering what excuse he could find to go back?Just like that, he kept rubbing the ring on his middle finger, thinking seriously.
Seeing Li Fangyu again, Song Enyu almost didn't recognize him.He was only 23 years old, and he looked tired and vicissitudes, but the film of bewilderment was no longer in his eyes.
Li Fangyu smiled at Song Enyu and greeted him with a smile.This smile was not forced, it was genuine joy from the heart.
Qi Wuyang explained to Song Enyu: "Because Fang Yu is still in his senior year, the dormitory will not be with us anymore."
Song Enyu took Li Fangyu's shoulders and said with a smile: "If you're not here, you won't be here anymore. We don't have a good relationship because of a dormitory. Whatever happens in the future, just call me and Dayang."
Qi Wuyang pursed his lips: "You remember to call him, don't call me."
Song Enyu beat Qi Wuyang, and the three talked and laughed.When walking out of the school gate to take a taxi, Li Fangyu suddenly said mysteriously and happily, "I'll take you two to meet someone."
Song Enyu and Qi Wuyang looked at each other and had an answer in their hearts.It should be Su Tingyi who he wants to take them to meet.
Sure enough, when I went to the restaurant, the other party was already waiting there.This was Song Enyu's second time seeing her, and Su Tingyi was still very beautiful, without any signs of age on her face.She was not shy, seeing Song Enyu and the others warmly greeted them, and as soon as the four of them were seated, Su Ting and Li Fangyu clasped their fingers together, like a pair of lovers who didn't look so well-matched.
Qi Wuyang said "Yo" on purpose: "Fang met you, you are so lucky, my sister-in-law is so beautiful, she won't grow old."
This can't be blamed on Qi Wuyang's awkward opening. Facing an unfamiliar woman, it's always right to praise her beauty, not to mention that Su Ting herself can't ignore her beauty.
Li Fangyu pointed at Qi Wuyang and scolded: "It's your mouth."
Su Ting didn't react when she heard such praise, because she was already numb.Li Fangyu is the only one in this world who hasn't praised her for her beauty after meeting her.She said with a smile: "The food has been ordered a long time ago, and it will be ready soon." She was about to stand up and pour tea for everyone.
Song Enyu got up at the same time as her, and she picked up the water bottle first, and shouted at Qi Wuyang: "I have been with Lao Zhao for so long and still have no winks, and I, the chairman, have to pour water for you."
Qi Wuyang flattered and flattered: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Song." He said and handed over the cup.
After Song Enyu filled Su Ting's cup, he called out respectfully, "Sister-in-law!"
Li Fangyu was one year older than both of them, and Su Tingyi was even more than ten years older than them, and her sister-in-law was not barking.She raised her eyes to look at Song Enyu, and said softly, "Thank you!"
After all the meals are ready, the three of them will start school tomorrow, so they don't plan to drink.Li Fangyu asked Su Tingyi if he wanted a drink, and the other party nodded, "Just beer."
The meal was very dull, Qi Wuyang was afraid that he might say something wrong, and Song Enyu didn't know how to speak.On the contrary, Li Fangyu took the initiative to say: "When I graduate next year, I will go back with a diploma, go back to our hometown clinic or something, find a job, and then marry Tingyi."
Life is never just the neon lights of Shanghai, not just high-rise buildings, delicacies from mountains and seas.He didn't say that after graduating from a prestigious school, he would join the upper class society. In Li Fangyu's narration, Song Enyu really felt his calmness and relief.He pushed Qi Wuyang, and the two toasted together, wishing this pair of true lovers who had suffered so much.
For people like Song Enyu who like happy endings, no matter what the two of them have experienced, being together now, at this moment, at this very moment is the greatest happiness.
Happiness is contagious, and Song Enyu couldn't help thinking of himself, and began to rub the ring with his fingers again.
Li Fangyu naturally saw it too, and asked curiously: "En Yu, when are you willing to buy these jewelry?"
Su Ting pushed him with a smile: "This ring should be a pair."
Qi Wuyang swallowed the food in his mouth, and quickly said: "It happens that my sister-in-law is here today, so you can tell us, who is that person?" Then he pointed at Song Enyu and Li Fangyu and complained, "I ask every day, but they don't ask me every day. Not to mention. In short, this vacation is inexplicably disappearing for a few days, and then disappearing for a few days after returning."
Li Fangyu also asked "gossip": "What can't be said about this? It's a relationship, it's not a windfall, are you afraid that we will force you to split it equally?"
When Song Enyu was feeling embarrassed, Jiang Zhixu's phone call came just in time.Song Enyu felt nervous, and subconsciously wanted to leave his seat to answer the call, but it was obvious that he felt a little "guilty", so he simply answered it.
"Where is it?" Jiang Zhixu's tone was relaxed, and he was indeed making homework.
"Dinning with roommates, what do you want?"
Jiang Zhixu stood on the balcony of his home looking at the most iconic building of Shanghai Medical University, the library.The students of Shanghai University jokingly called it "the monster that glows", like an ever-burning lamp.
"School is going to start tomorrow, and I wanted to call you. It's nothing, you can eat first, and remember to call me back after eating."
"Okay." Song Enyu quickly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Su Ting said in a timely manner: "It should be the target's phone number!"
Song Enyu's face turned red again, and Li Fang laughed when he saw him like this: "It's true."
Qi Wuyang was sitting next to Song Enyu. There was a male voice on the other end of the phone, which he could clearly hear. He didn't say any more. He lowered his head and held the vegetables.Song Enyu declined: "I haven't written the horoscope yet, what kind of object."
Words can deceive, but blush cannot.Li Fangyu was just joking, when suddenly a person staggered over beside him.
Except for Qi Wuyang, who was eating and eating, all three of them saw it.Song Enyu's ruddy face instantly turned pale. Besides him, Su Tingyi was the one who changed his face.
"This international metropolis is really small. How can I meet two acquaintances at this one table?" Dong Haohua walked over after finishing speaking, with his arms resting on the dining table.The person looked thin and out of shape, his body was full of the pungent smell of cigarettes, his hair hadn't been washed for several days, and it was dirty and stuck together.
Qi Wuyang wiped his oily mouth and looked curiously at the stranger with a long scar on his face.If Su Tingyi didn't have thick foundation, her face would be paler than Song Enyu's.
Song Enyu had returned to normal at this moment, he picked up the chopsticks and said to Li Fangyu, "Let's eat ours."
With the same attitude and the same tone, Dong Haohua immediately remembered all the bad memories before, and he became what he is now, all of which are the masterpieces of this person.
He pulled Song Enyu's hand sneeringly: "Come and touch this scar on my face, thanks to you, come!" Song Enyu struggled to dodge, threw his chopsticks, and stood up straight: "What do you want to do? Well?"
Song Enyu was taller than him, and his face was even more gloomy at the moment, and the inexplicable sense of oppression made Dong Haohua even more angry.He avoided such gazes, looked at Su Tingyi who was gradually moving to the edge of the seat, bent down, and said in a low voice: "Hey, who are you going to serve at this table tonight? Or should we serve all the tables? In that case, count me in, and I'll add money to you."
Before Song Enyu and Qi Wuyang came back to pay attention to Li Fangyu, the other party had already grabbed Dong Haohua's collar and punched him heavily in the face.Su Ting was so frightened that she screamed loudly, everyone in the hotel turned to look at them, and the shop assistants also surrounded her: "We can't make trouble here, or call the police immediately."
