miss me

Chapter 36 Happy New Year

At night, the atmosphere is harmonious and quiet.

The call was connected quickly, and Yan Cai seemed to be in a good mood, and asked in a relaxed tone, "Hello, who is it?"

"Hello," Bai Qingzhou said politely, "I'm Bai Qingzhou."

With a "snap", Yan Cai hung up the phone without hesitation.

Bai Qingzhou: "...?"

After a while, Bai Qingzhou dialed the phone again, and Yan Cai's tone was completely different from before: "Are you okay? Is it polite to call at night?"

Bai Qingzhou was silent for a while: "Do you usually go to bed at eight o'clock?"

Yan Cai said angrily: "I like to sleep when I like, especially when I hear your voice, I feel sleepy for a second."

The choking tone was clearly targeted, and it was genuine hostility.

Bai Qingzhou frowned, his hand was already on the red hang up button, his fingers hovered, but he still didn't press it.

For a moment, he pressed the center of his brows, and said with humiliation: "...Sorry."

Maybe because he didn't expect him to show such an attitude, Yan Cai coughed twice in embarrassment, but his tone softened a bit: "All right, all right, talk quickly if you have something to say, and fart quickly if you have something to say."

Bai Qingzhou didn't go around in circles with him, and asked him directly: "What do you mean by that sentence you said that day?"

Yan Cai asked back: "Which day and what sentence?"

Bai Qingzhou: "On the day of the party, you said, 'Don't make him cry anymore'."

"..."

Yan Cai's tone became cold again, and he asked him, "What do you mean?"

Bai Qingzhou didn't speak.

Yan Cai snorted coldly: "Now you're thinking of him again? Why, he's home, and no one is serving you?"

Bai Qingzhou ignored his ambiguity and just asked him: "When did he cry? Because of me?"

Bai Qingzhou's attitude of not answering at all made Yan Cai a little embarrassed. He was silent for a while before speaking again: "Okay, since you remember my sentence, you should also remember the last one."

Bai Qingzhou asked: "What?"

"Let him go."

Yan Cai said, "You are not suitable."

Bai Qingzhou frowned slightly: "Where is it inappropriate?"

"It doesn't fit anywhere," Yan Cai said, "and what do you mean now, come to me after breaking up for so many years to reminisce about the past? I don't believe you are some kind of old love... Wait, you don't want to use him to do something What's wrong with it?"

"Do not--"

Bai Qingzhou frowned, and was about to refute, when Yan Cai sighed as if he was talking to himself, "Oh, I really don't know what Xiaoxia likes about you, how much does it feel to like you so much? It's been a year, and I've persuaded him so many times overtly and secretly, and yet I have something to do with you again."

Bai Qingzhou asked: "Is he determined?"

"Otherwise? Could it be that you are determined?" Yan Cai laughed angrily again, "Which of you two is colder and who is hotter, who is active and who is passive, don't you have any acd in your heart? You don't like him, why don't you refuse? Let him go?"

When they broke up back then, Xia Xinghe also said similar things, saying that he didn't feel like him.Bai Qingzhou couldn't understand, and he didn't want to ask because of his arrogance back then, but now that the old matter was brought up again, Bai Qingzhou finally opened his mouth: "Why don't I like him?"

This sentence almost ignited Yan Cai's long-standing anger all at once, and all of them came out like crackling beans: "Is it like you like him? Did you say that you liked him? Did you introduce him to yourself?" Have you ever met your friend? He runs before and after every day to deliver meals to you. You don’t need to say thank you. Later, he fell ill because of this cold, and you actually told him, ‘I don’t want to see the patient when I come back from work’? Did you? Conscience?"

Yan Cai became angrier as he spoke, and his tone became visibly agitated, "It's just Xia Xinghe, that idiot who blindly likes you, and even agreed to live with you and continue to cook for you. Stick your cold ass!"

"I……"

Bai Qingzhou was dumb for a moment, and wanted to say something, but Yan Cai didn't listen to the explanation at all, and covered his head and face again, "What are you? Don't you know what you did yourself? Ask me why he is crying? I Let me tell you, it happened on the day you broke up, you can go if you want!"

Yan Cai became angrier as he spoke, and hung up the phone with a "snap", and a "beep" busy tone came from the receiver. Bai Qingzhou stood by the window sill, holding the phone with one hand. For a long time, he didn't let go of his arm from his ear.

He never expected to get such an answer from Xia Xinghe's friend.

I didn’t say I liked it because he thought it was boring to talk about it; I didn’t introduce it to my friends because he was too dazzling and he didn’t want to share it with others; he always kept it in mind when he ran to deliver food to him, and later told him “ "I don't want to come back from work to see the patient" is just an excuse, I don't want him to get sick again, and I'm also afraid that he will refuse to live with me.

Bai Qingzhou always thought that Xia Xinghe could understand some things without saying them, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of Xia Xinghe and his friends, he was such a cold-hearted, heartless person.

But why did Xia Xinghe cry on the day they broke up?

Bai Qingzhou was still puzzled.

The dusty memory reopened, Bai Qingzhou looked at the misty sky in the distance, and silently lowered his eyes.

He thought, maybe he was wrong, but comparing the two, Xia Xinghe was still the more heartless.

The day they broke up was also Xia Xinghe's dinner with his friends in the dormitory. Bai Qingzhou remembered clearly that Xia Xinghe asked him if he wanted to go when he went out.

Bai Qingzhou didn't like being with them, they were too close, Xia Xinghe would smile at others, would hug others intimately, drink and sing, and would ignore his existence because of them, as if he was nothing special.

But he didn't stop him, he was restrained enough, he just got a little jealous, excused himself to go to the hospital, and didn't go with them.

That day Xia Xinghe played with his friends until very late and didn't come back. During the lonely night, he was always in the emergency room, but Xia Xinghe updated several circles of friends, each of which was talking about how good his friends were, but only one word Don't mention his name.

So he posted a message to Moments, casually found the materials he had previously applied for, and pretended not to hear a call from Xia Xinghe, but the next morning, Xia Xinghe proposed to break up, simply and neatly. Leaving from his life, no more nostalgia.

Bai Qingzhou thought, he should be the one to cry.

Yan Cai's attitude was extremely bad, and Xia Xinghe's was not much better. After talking with Yan Cai on the phone, Bai Qingzhou was already angry when he remembered what happened before, but Xia Xinghe still didn't want to reply to the message. As a result, Bai Qingzhou didn't send any more, and devoted all his energy to work, working overtime until late at night every day.

Another week passed, and it was the [-]th of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye.

The atmosphere of the New Year on the street is already very strong, red lanterns, red couplets, family reunion, Bai Qingzhou is still alone.

His father was on duty, his mother was on a business trip, and he also had to stay in the hospital. In fact, every New Year was like this. His parents divorced very early, and Bai Qingzhou no longer had the memory of a family of three celebrating the New Year together.

That's good, you don't have to be busy, pay New Year's greetings everywhere, and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

The process of celebrating the New Year alone is much simpler.When the cleaner came to do the cleaning, he helped to put up Spring Festival couplets. The bamboo bowl was crushed by it, so Bai Qingzhou changed it to a red one, so everything was ready for the New Year, and everyone in the department wanted to go back. Bai Qingzhou voluntarily took over the duty on New Year's Eve, added food to the bamboo at [-]:[-] pm, and rushed to the hospital early.

The emergency room on New Year's Eve is extremely busy.

People are used to saying "Chinese New Year" and regard "Chinese New Year" as a reason for tolerance and forgiveness. Everything can turn around and change because of the Chinese New Year, except in the hospital.Birth, old age, sickness and death don't care whether you are "Spring Festival" or "Autumn Festival", come whenever you want, extremely domineering.

At six o'clock in the evening, Bai Qingzhou took over, and there was an endless stream of patients coming to the emergency department.

Because the son was so excited when he came back that he had a heart attack, and because the grandson didn't live up to his words in public, he was fainted... One patient after another was overwhelming, and by the time he finally had time to catch his breath, it was already past zero.

So passed the old year.

New Year's Eve has passed, and the new year has arrived, and it seems that nothing has happened.

The earth is spinning as usual, the sun has not yet risen the next day, the emergency room of the hospital is tense and busy, and the messages in the mobile phone are full of messages, all of which are messages of blessings from patients and their families, except that Bai Qingzhou is not looking forward to it. that person's.

Sitting at his desk, Bai Qingzhou silently flipped through the WeChat messages many times, then shut down his phone abruptly, and threw it aside.

With a "click", Doctor Zhang, who was on duty next to him, raised his head: "What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing." Bai Qingzhou replied lightly, lowered his eyes, and continued to write the medical records with a cold face.

Good.

He thought, after all the New Year's Eve, he didn't even send him a message.

Dr. Zhang also just asked casually, getting used to his indifferent temper, seeing that he didn't say anything, he quickly lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the phone.

When the emergency department rarely had free time, the consultation room fell silent. Dr. Zhang kept crackling on his mobile phone, then suddenly raised his head, and asked him tentatively: "Dr. Bai, I'll make a call while you're free. you do not mind?"

Bai Qingzhou said "Yes", Dr. Zhang immediately started a video call with great interest, and explained with a smile, "It's my girlfriend who wants to video call me."

The video was connected, and a soft and sweet female voice came through the receiver: "My dear..."

Dr. Zhang sat upright suddenly, with a smile on his face that couldn't be closed, and he called out softly, "Baby."

When young couples fall in love, they can’t hide their sweetness, especially those young couples who can’t meet for various reasons during the Chinese New Year, the day of family reunion.

In the emergency room, Dr. Zhang still couldn't let go at first, and kept talking in a low voice. After a long time, he gradually became bolder, saying "dear", and then said, "I miss you."

Dr. Zhang's girlfriend was also very considerate, following up his words in a soft voice, not to say hello to him, but also to come over and bring him supper.

The girlfriend said: "It's so cold, I specially made dumplings for you, and I'll send you some later?"

"No baby," Dr. Zhang quickly refused, but even the words of refusal were pampering, "Go to bed early, it's too late at night, I don't feel at ease if you come alone."

The chat between the two was sweet, Dr. Zhang squinted his eyes and smiled, and pink bubbles appeared around him.Sitting next to him, Bai Qingzhou continued to write the big medical records, and felt for the first time that it was better for the emergency department to be busy rather than idle.

The night was getting late, and there were still no new patients. Dr. Zhang was still playing video with his girlfriend, and Bai Qingzhou was writing the big medical record without saying a word, and the phone that was put aside suddenly turned on again.

Bai Qingzhou didn't pay attention, and it took a while to realize that when he opened it, his face, which was so cold that it was about to freeze, finally showed some traces of melting.

[Little Bamboo: Happy New Year~]

Fairly conscientious.

The corners of Bai Qingzhou's lips curled up slightly.

He thought, since Xia Xinghe has already taken the initiative, then he should reluctantly express it.

Doctor Zhang was still calling his girlfriend, and Bai Qingzhou also called Xia Xinghe.
