Chapter 14: "Dating"

Shouldn't a young master like Shu Ling go in and out of all kinds of high-end cafes and Western restaurants? Why did he appear here at this timeβ€”a fly restaurant with a shabby environment!

If it weren't for the fact that she was so hungry and the food in the store was too tempting, Xiaoxiao thought she would have withdrawn immediately. But there are no ifs.

Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't want to provoke Shu Ling at this time. There are so many things that have happened today, and she has already exhausted a lot of energy for everything that has happened, and now she just wants to eat a meal quietly, and then go home and fall asleep, and get up tomorrow to talk about the rest.

And Shu Ling sat quietly in the corner alone, the bowl in front of him was already empty, but he wanted to stay for a while, no one knew him here, and he didn't have to deal with anyone.

"What are you doing!" suddenly a pair of hands appeared in Shu Ling's field of vision, and he reflexively roared, startling the waiter who would add tea to him.

"I'm sorry sir, I see that your tea is cold, so I'll give you some more. The waiter gestured to the teacup on his desk, "Excuse me." ”

"It's fine. Shu Ling realized that his reaction was a little excessive, he retreated, leaving a gap between him and the waiter, this move once again misunderstood the waiter, she thought that Shu Ling felt that the oil stains on her body were dirty, and shrank back a little embarrassed and left.

Shu Ling's voice just now also attracted Xiaoxiao's attention, she turned her head to check Shu Ling's actions, and was a little surprised when she saw him unconsciously pulling away. He...... Got a reaction to stay away from the crowd?

Shu Ling looked a little annoyed at this time, he pinched the cup hard, his knuckles were white, but he didn't drink a sip when he brought it to his mouth, and finally put it down heavily.

He went to the front desk with a calm face and said something, packed some things in the strange eyes of the people around him, and then left the hotel without saying a word.

No one knew what kind of turmoil the well-dressed man in front of him had just experienced in his heart, only Xiaoxiao, who was also in the store, felt that his favorite food on weekdays was tasteless in his mouth.

"Shu Shao, when are you free, let's meet and talk?"

Faintly, Zhang Xiaoxiao remembered Mu Chaoyang's words: "He knows what he is doing." ”

Maybe even if he doesn't know the truth, Mu Chaoyang really understands Shu Ling, Xiaoxiao flipped to the original chat history from his mobile phone and sent a text message to Shu Ling.

The text reply came faster than she expected, with just a short sentence, "Okay, you're coming from work tomorrow." ”

With this "date", Zhang Xiaoxiao was a little worried about the next whole day, although the work was still the same, others couldn't see anything, but all this did not escape Yu Yan's eyes.

"Tell me, you asked me who the 'guest' was hiding from my partner that day?" Yu Yan sat down in Xiaoxiao's office with his pockets in his pocket, and he looked like he would not give up without asking.

"What guest?" asked Shu Ling to talk in detail in the afternoon, Xiaoxiao naturally didn't want to say more, and he and Yu Yan had a sloppy fight.

"Zhang Xiaoxiao!" Yu Yan became angry, and slapped the table with a "pout", "You don't even hide it from me now?"

Xiaoxiao was a little weak-hearted, "Yan'er, you give me some time, I promise you, I will tell you when I need it." ”

"Come on, you. Yu Yan rolled her eyes, "You haven't mentioned Mu Chaoyang's matter to me." What should I believe in you?"

"It was an accident. ”

When he mentioned Mu Chaoyang, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sure enough, things didn't change at all. After the quarrel that day, she stiffened her neck and never contacted Mu Chaoyang again, and the result was that Mu Chaoyang never contacted her again......

"Accident? What a mess. You go to the ...... Ahem, what happened to Mu Chaoyang?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao flew over with a data bag, "What do you think?" ”

secretly complained that it was just a "blind date" to Mu Chaoyang.

"In short, although I have had a brief intersection with him, he is back to his original state at the moment, and this person may not continue to appear in my life in the future. Zhang Xiaoxiao was too lazy to ramble, and made a concluding speech directly.

"What kind of moth are you making?" Yu Yan neatly caught the information bag, "I listened to Xiao Wu's gossip, and I thought you were going to continue the frontier." ”

There is no leading edge, but there are still a lot of bad fates, "Don't worry, Mu Chaoyang is not my 'source of disease'." Will you go back to the office first, or will you turn off the lights for me later?"

Yu Yan looked at the time, "Is it hard to chat with me?" At this time, it was five o'clock when he got off work, and it was exactly the same, "So on time?"

"Go on a date. Zhang Xiaoxiao nudged Yu Yan, "Let's go." ”

Hey, Yu Yan stood in place, looking at Zhang Xiaoxiao in surprise, "Hey, really fake?" No wonder Mu Chaoyang looked like "this is the end", it turned out that there were other circumstances?

Coming to Fat again, Zhang Xiaoxiao's mood is completely different from the previous time. It seems that time and space have been reversed, this time Shu Ling is sitting at the table where she has sitting, looking down at a magazine. Hearing Xiaoxiao's approaching footsteps, he raised his head from the book, and the corners of his mouth raised, "Miss Xiaoxiao, good afternoon." ”

Shu Ling pointed to a bottle of exquisite juice in front of Xiaoxiao, and teased: "I ordered one with a lid for you, it's not easy to splash." ”

Knowing that he was talking about what happened last time, the smile that was still nervous just now also relaxed, sat down in front of Shu Ling, and picked up the drink, "Shu Shao's state is better than I imagined." ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao This is the third time to talk to Shu Ling seriously, at this time he does not have the anxiety and impatience he saw before, "Acting in an atmospheric manner, being sober", Zhang Xiaoxiao remembered Mu Chaoyang's evaluation of him, which was very accurate.

"Why not. Shu Ling pushed the menu to Xiaoxiao, "People are in good spirits on happy occasions, I'm about to get engaged." ”

"Smack. Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was about to receive the menu, shook his hand, and the menu slammed on the table with a loud bang.

"Shu Shao?" Zhang Xiaoxiao put away his joking expression, "I thought you knew what I was here to talk about?"

Shu Ling didn't seem to be affected by Zhang Xiaoxiao, and the gentleman had to help her pick up the menu, "Guess probably, I also thought Chaoyang could persuade you." ”

Mu Chaoyang's nerves tensed a little when he heard this name, "What's the matter with him?"

This time, Shu Ling, who had been calm and calm, was finally stunned for a moment, "He didn't tell you?"

That day, Shu Ling knew that Xiaoxiao had gone to An Ruqing, and called Mu Chaoyang in a hurry, but his tone was not very good. Mu Chaoyang attaches great importance to friends, and will always be enthusiastic about mediating conflicts between friends, Shu Ling thought that it was Mu Chaoyang who said something Zhang Xiaoxiao would face him face to face so calmly.

"Should he say anything?" After that day, Xiaoxiao never contacted Mu Chaoyang again, but Shu Ling's words made him a little concerned.

Shu Ling saw that Xiaoxiao's expression didn't look like lying, and suddenly felt funny, Mu Chaoyang, who has always offended people and balanced his relationship with his circle of friends, seemed to have lost his mind in front of Zhang Xiaoxiao. He didn't mention it when he said it so seriously on the phone?

"I gave him a call. Shu Ling avoided the important and light, "I thought he would tell you." ”

When he heard that it was nothing serious, he smiled and relaxed, "I haven't been in touch with him for a long time, don't talk about his affairs, Shu Shao, I'm here to find you today." ”

No connection?Shu Ling raised her eyebrows. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have so much energy to care about other people's affairs at this time, he really had to think about Mu Chaoyang's gossip.

"Ruqing's matter?" The little doctor in front of him was actually very easy to see, "Doctor Zhang, I remember that you also want patients to live a normal life." ”

Shu Ling used the word "patient", he lowered his head and stroked the drink cup on the table, hiding the sadness in his eyes when he spoke, he didn't like to use this word to describe himself, but today he came to solve the problem. Shu Ling knew how to say it in order to make Zhang Xiaoxiao stop tossing this matter faster, he wanted to take the most efficient way.

"Does An Ruqing know?" Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk to Shu Ling, she went straight in, "Shu Ling, I'll ask you one thing, does An Ruqing know about your situation?"

Shu Ling turned her head and looked at the crowd of people who were coming and going in the fat and stopped talking.

The answer is obvious.

"I don't want to interfere in your life or love, either as Dr. Zhang or Zhang Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao felt her anger slowly rise again, she took a deep breath, "You're here to solve the problem, not to quarrel," she said silently, telling herself.

"I just want to protect An Ruqing's right to know. Xiaoxiao said calmly, "According to the Regulations on the Prevention and Treatment of AIDS, the legitimate rights and interests of HIV-infected people in marriage are protected by law. However, the fact of illness shall be explained to the other party before the marriage is registered, and if both parties agree to apply for marriage registration after being informed, they shall go to a medical institution to receive medical guidance. ”

She looked at Shu Ling and said word by word: "This, yes, law, law." ”

Shu Ling raised her head, put her hands together, and stretched out in the center of the table, "Do you want to catch me?"

"Shu Ling!" Zhang Xiaoxiao stood up with a smile, "You are Mu Chaoyang's friend, and Aunt Min is my mother's friend." Do we have to talk like that?"

Shu Ling raised her eyebrows indifferently, withdrew her hand, and her tone calmed down a lot: "I know what you mean." Sit down, let's talk. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao glanced at Shu Ling with distrust, and sat down gently, with vigilance in his eyes.

"Don't you want to order something?" Shu Ling pointed to the menu, and saw Zhang Xiaoxiao stubbornly turning his head, smiling dumbly, and no longer reluctant.

"It's too risky. He hesitated for a moment and spat out four words.

"What do you mean?" Xiaoxiao was confused by this sudden sentence, "You mean, An Ruqing will refuse?"

"Ask yourself, most people will choose to leave. An inappropriate smile appeared on Shu Ling's face, "No one would choose to be with a liar who is infected with HIV, right?"

"Miss Xiaoxiao, your anger at that time was the normal reaction. If you tell me the truth, let alone a blind date, I'm afraid there are not many people who are willing to have a cup of coffee with me here. ”

When Shu Ling said this, Shu Ling's eyes seemed to pass through Xiaoxiao's body, through the cafΓ©, and drifted to I don't know where, the voice was very calm, so calm that Xiaoxiao felt a little desperate.

This atmosphere made Xiaoxiao a little depressed, and she wanted to defend something but he was speechless. Now that everyone's reaction to HIV is clearer than any outsider, Mu Chaoyang is right, Shu Ling is very sober, sober enough that she has nothing to refute.

"It's a misconception, and everyone is trying to bridge the gap. ”

Even if you laugh at yourself, such words are a little pale. Fear and discrimination caused by "not understanding" are not uncommon in patients' lives, and it is precisely because of this that the first lesson that both Yu Yan and Xiaoxiao learn is to stick to the bottom line and never disclose the privacy of any "guest".

Shu Ling didn't reply, only gave Zhang Xiaoxiao an expression that everyone knew, and Xiaoxiao quieted down.

"Miss Xiaoxiao, I actually admire you very much. His calm reaction made Xiaoxiao feel uneasy, "You are in the know, but you are still willing to have a cup of coffee with me here, to scold me, to persuade me, to justify me, and to talk to me about the law." It's like I'm ...... with them," Shu Ling pointed to the crowd on the street, "it's no different." ”

"Why not?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked him rhetorically, "You are Shu Ling, a friend of Mu Chaoyang, and if you do what I think is wrong, I will naturally come to the door." "It's right, and rightfully so.

"Huh. Shu Ling finally smiled with relief, "I admit it." Coming out of your office that day, to this day, and probably talking to you now, is the easiest time for me, because I don't have to think about what to hide. ”
