Chapter 12: showdown
On the street stall in front of Jihua Hospital, Shen Fangyu was drinking cold beer with his left hand and his right hand. He was having dinner with friends in the department when he heard the phone ringing. He hastily put down the beer in his hand to look at the phone.
This is the professional habit of almost all doctors. The mobile phone is turned on 24 hours a day and never set to silent. Any small news will be read immediately, and it is impossible to guarantee that it will not be related to the patient.
After clicking on the dialog box with Jiang Xu, Shen Fangyu was stunned.
He scrolled up again in disbelief, and confirmed that all the chat records between him and Jiang Xu were file transfers, or official notices, and there was absolutely no such invitation.
But he was very sure that it was Jiang Xu himself, because he sent messages with a characteristic, every message would be followed by a smiley face of a little yellow man, that kind of smile that looked particularly like sarcasm, three parts cold and four parts casual.
Because of this, Shen Fangyu often complained in his heart that Jiang Xu was an old man, and he didn't even know that this emoji was mocking among young people.
However, today he didn't know what the trick was, and suddenly Fuzhi asked the colleague next to him, "Will Jiang Xu smile when he sends messages to you?"
"No." Several colleagues looked puzzled.
Shen Fangyu didn't believe it, he showed them the dialogue with Jiang Xu, "It's just this kind of little yellow face."
"Really not, if you don't believe me, take a look." The colleague gestured to take out his mobile phone.
After confirming that Shen Fangyu was indeed the only one who received this special treatment, his colleague's expression was a bit subtle, "He couldn't be... mocking you."
"Impossible." Shen Fangyu retracted the phone without changing his expression, "He only smiles at me, which means he only wants to smile at me."
"..." Okay, you have a thick skin and you are right.
"But why did he ask you out?" The colleague asked curiously, "Could it be another fight."
"Who knows," Shen Fangyu shrugged, "Ever since I asked him if he was pregnant during the Angkor treat last time, he never talked to me again."
He took a bite of fried skewers, "When we met on the road before, he would give me a sideways glance, but now he just treats me like air. Last time I saw him throwing up in the toilet, I kindly gave him a pack of tissues. I didn't expect him to use it. I took my paper and turned around and left without even saying thank you, I asked him if he was polite, but he turned around and stared at me—"
Shen Fangyu looked rather depressed, "You don't know, the way he looks at me is like I made him pregnant, wishing he could tear me apart in the next second."
The colleague laughed, "It seems that the fact that you got the meeting quota made Dr. Jiang angry."
"He's too narrow-minded. They were the ones who went there last year." Shen Fangyu cursed.
The colleague tapped his mobile phone, "Then you want to find him?"
Shen Fangyu snorted, "I'm not going, I act like a queen giving orders every day, why should I listen to him," he said while picking up another bunch of skewers, "Who does he think he is?"
It is not uncommon for colleagues to have conflicts with the two of them. Hearing this, he clinked glasses with him and said, "Drink and drink, don't even think about it."
A feast of toasts was enjoyed, and it was almost nine o'clock before Shen Fangyu put down the last diabolo stick.
He took off his gloves and washed his hands with hand sanitizer, drank a sip of beer, and glanced at his watch after a while.
"Have you made an appointment?" The colleague asked, "You are in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han. How many times have you checked your phone in such a short time, and you are in such a hurry to leave."
"Hey, didn't you and Jiang Xu both pursue Zhong Lan before, why hasn't there been any movement lately?" Someone went on to gossip: "Is there something new?"
"There's no new situation," Shen Fangyu retorted without further explanation. It's immoral to help someone out, and when faced with his colleagues' repeated questioning, he just said, "It's not appropriate."
He has always been mellow in dealing with people, and he has no airs. He belongs to the type that everyone thinks he is familiar with him. He finally broke free from the cross-examination of his colleagues. It is to say to others: "Forget it, I'll go and see, in case there is something wrong with him."
He stood up while talking, and the colleague suddenly realized, "Hey, who did I think, it was Jiang Xu who made the trouble for a long time, didn't you just say you were not going?" He teased Shen Fangyu, "You are really slapping your face so fast. quick."
Shen Fangyu put on his coat and sprayed some men's perfume, "Who made me kind." He said with emotion: "How can there be such a kind person in the world? Facing Jiang Xu's evil forces, not only did I not give in, He also stood up in times of crisis and helped others."
Finally, under the eyes of his colleagues who couldn't bear to look directly at him, Shen Fangyu returned to Jihua Hospital with his pockets in his pockets.
He knocked on the office door seriously, and when he opened the door, Jiang Xu was looking at the computer screen, he was still wearing a white coat, he guessed that he had just gone to the ward.
There was no one in the office at this point, and the doctor on duty was not there either.
Shen Fangyu sat next to him and saw him reading literature, "Hey, why are you interested in this direction recently—"
"Shen Fangyu." Jiang Xu suddenly said, interrupting his smooth talk.
He didn't talk to Shen Fangyu, but let go of the hand holding the mouse, and turned to face him. Jiang Xu didn't wear a mask, and when he turned around, Shen Fangyu saw the mole under his eye again.
There is one thing that Shen Fangyu is embarrassed to tell others. After seeing Jiang Xu's mole that day, he went back and had dreams for several nights. Each one was bolder and more bizarre than the other. The key is that they all had a sense of reality, as if he really It was as if he had slept with Jiang Xu.
Even when he took him to see Jiang Xu, his eyes were not normal. Fortunately, Jiang Xu didn't bother to look at him at all, and didn't notice his strangeness.
Later Jiang Xu asked him to fight, he swung his fist and saw the mole again, his fine fist froze in the air for no reason, and then Jiang Xu punched him in the abdomen.
Dazed.
Fortunately, after such a long time, the evil fire in his heart finally dissipated. Dr. Shen attributed the continuous **** dreams to the fact that he hadn't done it himself for a long time, his body was too excited, and he didn't take it too seriously. However, seeing the mole under Jiang Xu's eyes now, he felt that the fire in his heart that had been extinguished for a long time was about to be ignited for no reason.
So he looked away, seemingly unintentionally said: "Why are you so formal?"
Jiang Xu looked at him deeply, but didn't speak immediately.
This is very strange, Shen Fangyu knows that Jiang Xu is not a person who can speak hesitantly, especially when talking to him, he can't wait to combine three sentences into one sentence, and the speed of speech is also fast, as if looking at him more often can shorten his life, looking at him like this He didn't speak again, which made Shen Fangyu feel flustered for no reason.
He thought for a while and asked again: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xu took a sip of water, withdrew his somewhat complicated eyes, and said in a businesslike manner: "I have something to tell you."
Today's Jiang Xu is not impatient, nor is he frowning coldly at him, although he is still very unhappy with his eyes, but at least his voice is calm.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Shen Fangyu intuitively felt that what Jiang Xu was going to say was not a good thing.
"Do you want me to help you on duty? Or is it changing the operating table, or... something to do with the number of participants?" Shen Fangyu couldn't think of anything else that would make Jiang Xu come to talk to him in such a serious manner. To be honest, even he guessed What came out, he didn't think that Jiang Xu would show such an attitude in front of him.
After Jiang Xu listened, he picked up a timer from the table, "I'll give you a minute to prepare yourself mentally."
Shen Fangyu was stunned, "Wait a minute—"
Jiang Xu didn't wait, he glanced at Shen Fangyu, and directly pressed the start button. No matter how difficult it was for him to tell, since he decided to tell Shen Fangyu, he didn't want to be too coy.
Shen Fangyu's heart beat suddenly a little faster, and he felt that what Jiang Xu was about to say was not a good thing.
Mental preparation?
What is so serious that he needs to be mentally prepared?
Time passed quickly, Jiang Xu rested his left hand on the table, turning the timer continuously, the cuffs of his straight white coat shrank back because of the elbow flexion, revealing a wrist with clear bones.
Shen Fangyu kept wanting to say something, but watched the number on the timer getting smaller and smaller, just like watching the stopwatch move when he couldn't finish writing the questions in the last few seconds of the exam, the more anxious he became, the more he didn't know what to do.
However, he had never been so inexplicably nervous during an exam.
When the dust fell to the ground, the number on the timer changed from one to zero, and the sharp and ear-piercing bell rang suddenly, Shen Fangyu's heart trembled.
Jiang Xu quickly pressed the pause button, turned off the timer, and didn't let it beep a second time.
"You don't—"
"I'm pregnant, and the child is yours."
Jiang Xu lowered his eyelashes, his eyes fell on the stopped timer, and he spoke softly.
Shen Fangyu: "?"
One minute of mental preparation may not be enough.
