Chapter 20: Before I See You
On Sunday afternoon, Xu Hui had just finished sorting out his medical records. He doesn't have to be on duty tonight, and he can go home after work in the afternoon.
When he came out of the hospital, it was already dusk, and the sky was darkening little by little, which was a brief encounter between day and night.
As he passed by the vending machine on the first floor of the hospital, he suddenly remembered the day he first met Xu Xingxing, which was a winter evening. City C is a very magical place, hot in summer and cold in winter, almost only winter and summer, winter is cold and long.
It was his first year on the job, when he didn't live with his parents and his apartment was next to the hospital. He was on duty that night, because he had undergone two major surgeries during the day, and his body had not yet adapted to the intensity of work, and he was sleepy at night.
Because he had to be on duty at night, he couldn't doze off, so he held on to his spirits and ran to the door of the hospital in one breath, wanting to blow the cold wind to wake up. As he was about to go back, he suddenly walked to the vending machine and wanted to buy a can of coffee.
He still had a few cans in his cabinet, but somehow he just wanted to go to the vending machine and buy cans of coffee. He later recalled that maybe only fate could explain his encounter with Xu Xingxing.
When he walked to the vending machine, he looked at the yellow lump, he was a little puzzled, thinking that it was a plastic bag, and when he got closer, he realized that it was a small golden retriever. It leaned on the vending machine, curled up in a ball and fell asleep, probably because it was too cold outside, so it ran in to keep warm.
It was very thin and small, and its fur was a little dirty, and it was impossible to see it as it was. When Xu Hui squatted down to pet it, it suddenly opened its eyes and looked at him with a wink.
Its eyes are so bright, like stars, that it can speak.
Xu Hui understood that it was conveying kindness, Xu Hui carried it back to the duty room, and sent it to the veterinary hospital for examination when he got off work the next day, some malnutrition and some small wounds on his body. After the veterinarian bandaged it, he took it to his father's house.
He is usually too busy and is a little worried that he will not be able to take care of it. His father and mother are very kind people and will definitely treat it well. Sure enough, his father and mother were so excited when they saw it, especially his mother, who was reluctant to let go when she saw it for the first time.
After Xu Hui bathed it, it returned to its original appearance, its hair was blonde, and its eyes were beautiful. Xu Hui named it Xu Xingxing.
Xu Hui was worried that it had been accidentally lost, and for several months, he posted revelations on the Internet and near the hospital to find the owner, and asked friends to help him keep an eye on it.
But for some reason, no one has come to claim it. Xu Xingxing has been living in his father's house, he has been taken care of well, he is not so thin, and his coat color is getting more and more beautiful.
Xu Xingxing is very clingy to him, Xu Hui runs there every weekend, and slowly he goes back to his father's house directly, so that it is convenient to visit his father and mother, and to take care of Xu Xingxing.
But recently, Xu Xingxing doesn't pay much attention to him, and he is not excited to see him go home, and he doesn't come to pick his leg when he goes out. Xu Hui felt strange, and his mother explained that it was because Xu Xingxing was in love. When he had a wife, he forgot his father, and he couldn't cry or laugh.
"You think it's all like you, Xu Xingxing is more than two years old, and he is 25 years old, so of course he wants to fall in love. You're not in a hurry for this 28-year-old" His mother came again, and Xu Hui fled.
When he goes back today, he can play with Xu Xingxing for a while, he is really worried that he will not recognize him if he has a wife.
Xu Hui planned to go to the pet shop on the other side of the square to buy toys for him, in fact, the most important thing was that he saw strawberry pudding update his circle of friends that day, and recommended her newly opened dessert milk tea shop, which was next to the pet store. He wanted to try his luck and see if he could meet her.
He sat on the subway, lowered his head and lit up his phone, the phone wallpaper was a selfie of strawberry pudding, and he looked a little distracted.
To be honest, the photos of strawberry pudding are not as stunning as myself, and she is not a beauty in the traditional sense in the selfie. It is not a melon seed face, and there is no high nose bridge, but the eyes are large and bright, round, and somewhat like Xu Xingxing's eyes.
Her facial features are not glamorous, her eyes are beautiful, but her nose and face are not prominent, her face is a little baby fat, and her eyebrows and eyes are very gentle when she laughs, like a college student.
But she herself has an outstanding temperament, she is very cold when she is not smiling, and she is very warm when she laughs.
However, he still thinks that strawberry pudding is a beauty, and she has a unique temperament. He couldn't imagine her until he saw her picture. When you see her photo, you will feel that she is supposed to be like this, and her voice and her appearance are the same temperament.
Maybe it's in the eyes of his lover, the more he looks at her photos, the more he feels good-looking, and he is a little helpless to himself.
In fact, Xu Hui does not have any appearance requirements for his future girlfriend. Last time, Ye Juncheng asked him what kind of one he liked, he liked big eyes, he still liked the high nose bridge, he liked the royal sister type, or he was a girl. He didn't answer, clearly uninterested.
At that time, the nurses and girls in the lounge were also waiting for Xu Hui's mate selection criteria, but they didn't wait for anything. Ye Juncheng said with a smile, "It seems that our Doctor Xu has no requirements for the other half, after all, no matter how good-looking it is, it is useless, it is still a little worse than Doctor Xu." The group of girls burst into laughter.
Perhaps, Xu Hui is really like this. He knew that he was good-looking since he was a child, and from elementary school to university with a doctorate, and even after working, the confession letter was almost never broken.
He had seen all kinds of beautiful girls, but he was hardly tempted. Maybe I have a good-looking skin, and I have seen a lot, so I naturally don't pay so much attention to my appearance.
But strawberry pudding is different, whether it is her temperament, her voice, or her appearance, it makes his heart beat faster and his heart is excited.
When the subway arrived, he put away his phone.
Before the phone screen goes black, there is his memo with a selfie of strawberry pudding.
Underneath the photo, there is a line of text.
"I started loving you before I met you. ”
