Chapter 4 Mulberry Leaves
[Mulberry leaves, clear the lungs and moisten dryness, flatten the liver and eyes.] ]
When Shen Taotao arrived at the office, a familiar colleague asked her in surprise: "Yo, why did the family who has difficulty getting up come so early today?"
She smiled brightly, and she couldn't hide her good mood: "Such a beautiful day, of course I came to work hard!"
"H City Metropolis Daily" is a weekly magazine, every Friday night before 12 o'clock, the reporter will hand in the manuscript, the editor will work overtime on Saturday morning to finalize the draft, and then hand it over to the United States to arrange the layout with pictures, and then go to the boss on duty to sign and print.
The life version is a combination of collection and editing, and there is a lot of time to be collected, so there is no mandatory duty requirement, and everyone's work and rest are also very chaotic. Some people go to bed at 10 o'clock at night and get up at 7 a.m. to go to work, while others stay up until the early hours of the morning every day, get up at 10 a.m., and go to the newspaper office in the afternoon to hold a topic selection meeting and assemble manuscripts.
And Shen Taotao is naturally a senior immortal cultivator, and when he sleeps before midnight, he will definitely not be able to get up in the morning. It's so rare to see a situation like today.
She didn't delay any longer, opened the word and started writing the manuscript directly, the tip of her tongue seemed to retain the crispy taste of the oil swirl, and her thinking was also rare and smooth.
This manuscript only occupies a small page, the word count is not high, and the pictures are only taken by herself, so she did not bother her colleagues in the photography team. When she is the editor on duty and hands in the manuscript, it will only be nine o'clock.
"Tao Tao, the editor-in-chief is looking for you. A colleague came over and whispered to her.
Recently, she stepped on the deadline before publication to hand in the manuscript, so Shen Taotao was a little cowardly, and reluctantly knocked on the door of the editor-in-chief's office.
Hearing the knock on the door, the editor-in-chief, who was not confused, smiled very kindly: "It's Xiao Shen, come in!" Shen Taotao closed the door with his backhand and walked in.
The director has always been unsmiling, and suddenly smiling lovingly at her made her feel furious.
"How is your health lately, is it still painful?" the director was concerned.
Shen Taotao smiled a little restrainedly: "I have been going to Zhixitang for acupuncture for the past half month, and it is much better, basically there is no problem." ”
"That's good, that's good. The editor-in-chief said repeatedly, knowing that the little girl in front of him was not small, and he didn't take much care of it, and he tossed people into the hospital, worried that if the above blamed him, he wouldn't be able to explain.
"By the way, you just said that Zhixitang is looking at traditional Chinese medicine?" The editor-in-chief came back to his senses, and after receiving her affirmative answer, his eyes lit up, "That's great! Isn't it a hot topic of traditional Chinese medicine recently, your group is going to do a few special topics on traditional Chinese medicine health and food therapy, aren't you just near the water." ”
Shen Taotao hesitated. It's no problem to do special topics, this is what she does, but what does this "near the water" mean?
"You just asked your doctor to be a special consultant or something, so it looks professional, we can advertise him by the way!" The editor-in-chief looked at Shen Taotao expectantly.
"Good. Thinking that he could take this opportunity to have more contact with Xu Chen'an, Shen Taotao gritted his teeth and agreed.
……
The next day was the day when Shen Taotao went back to continue acupuncture, she got up a little late, worried that she would miss Xu Chen'an's outpatient clinic, so she ate a piece of toast with milk and hastily, and drove to the hospital.
After more than half a month of treatment, she had already become familiar with several little nurses at the guidance desk, and leaned over to talk to the nurse on duty: "Sister Xiaomeng, is Dr. Xu busy?"
"Hey, as long as we Dr. Xu go out of the outpatient clinic, where is there a time when he is not busy!" Xiao Meng has long been surprised, "Don't say it, just look at Dr. Xu's face, and I am willing to run to the hospital every day." ”
"Sister Xiaomeng, do you want to eat beef jerky?" Shen Taotao touched two bags of beef jerky from her bag very kindly and stuffed them into her hands.
Xiaomeng eats people with short mouths, and after looking around, she leaned over and put it to her ear: "It's quite a coincidence that you came, it's almost time for lunch break, and there are only a few old patients left, so Dr. Xu shouldn't be too busy." ”
Shen Taotao got the information, and quickly slipped into the outpatient hall as if the soles of his feet were smeared with oil.
When she entered, Xu Chenan was busy, Shen Taotao said hello to the nurse on the side, found a treatment bed familiarly, closed the curtain, and took off the skirt on her body.
The hospital is very intimate, and a disinfected towel quilt will be placed on each bed, so that she can cover her body when she feels cold, and more importantly, she can wear less and not be so embarrassed.
Xu Chenan soon came in with a nurse.
Taking advantage of the nurse's time to tidy up things, Shen Taotao hurriedly approached the man: "Doctor Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Xu Chenan reminded her with some amusement: "Didn't we just meet yesterday?"
The little nurse on the side was very surprised, on the surface, she was still upside down the equipment in the medical car, but she pricked up her ears to listen to the gossip.
Shen Taotao was used to it, and he didn't feel embarrassed, but teased him unswervingly: "It's like three autumns if you don't see each other for a day, Doctor Xu, we haven't seen each other for three whole autumns, so I miss you very much." Don't you even want me?"
"If I learned my middle school Chinese correctly, three autumns are nine months. Xu Chenan just avoided the important and trivialized, and didn't take her stalk at all.
"Old cadres. Shen Taotao muttered quietly, turned his back to Xu Chen'an, and didn't really want to pay attention to him anymore.
The towel quilt was not wide, and after she tossed it like this, most of her back was exposed to the air, and it was presented in front of Xu Chen'an so loudly.
The little girl's skin is fair and delicate, and her flesh and bones are well-proportioned, and the butterfly bones outline a beautiful arc. Rao is Xu Chen'an strictly abides by professional ethics, and he doesn't have that kind of thought, looking at the scene in front of him, his heart rate has also shown signs of soaring.
"Turn around, I'm going to get a needle. He rubbed his temples, which had been swollen and painful, with an unconcealable exhaustion in his voice, but he still coaxed her patiently.
He didn't talk much in the morning, and the patients came in one after another, and he didn't even bother to drink a sip of water, and his throat was already hoarse. The slightly hoarse voice fell in his ears, which made Shen Taotao feel very uncomfortable when he heard it, and the breath in his chest suddenly dispersed a lot.
Forget it, who made her such a magnanimous person? Shen Taotao decided not to be as knowledgeable as him, turned over and lay down in a proper manner, waiting for Xu Chen'an to get a needle.
Seeing her cooperate, Xu Chen'an's frowning brows relaxed slightly, took the needle and cotton ball, and bent down to give her the needle.
At first, it was okay, she could bear the slight discomfort, and when it reached her lower abdomen, she still couldn't help but hum. The sour and numb swelling pain, like a little ant gnawing at her.
"Don't move. Xu Chenan controlled the needle with one hand, and pressed Shen Taotao with the other hand to move his legs.
The palm was warm, and the force was not light, so it was easy for her to stop dodging, and she also ignored the discomfort when adjusting the meridians.
Shen Taotao is a natural acquaintance, from seventy or eighty-year-old old men and old ladies to four or five-year-old hairy children, no matter whether she has seen her before or not, she can casually talk about a topic and talk a few words. Normally, where she is there, she will never be cold.
It's just that when I get in front of Xu Chen'an, I always seem to drop the chain, and I want to be closer to him, but I don't know what to say.
"Doctor Xu, let me invite you to a meal at noon? I want to ask you for help with some work matters, and I don't know if it's inconvenient. Shen Taotao broke the strange silence with a light cough, and finally remembered the business explained by the editor-in-chief.
Xu Chen'an's action was paused, but in the end he rejected her: "I still have patients, and I also have outpatient clinics in the afternoon, I'm afraid I don't have time." ”
"It's okay, I'll wait for you. Shen Taotao didn't mind waiting for him, and was afraid that he would refuse, so he could only assure him as sincerely as possible, "Soon, it won't delay you for a long time." You're going to take a moment to listen to me, okay?"
Her eyes were like little stars hidden, shining brightly, making the words of refusal in his mouth turn abruptly, and he couldn't bear to disappoint her: "Then please wait for me for a while." ”
"Okay!" Shen Taotao naturally had no objections, and when she got the answer she wanted, she also settled down a lot and no longer interfered with him to prick the needle.
When Xu Chenan came out of the treatment room exhausted, the electronic clock on the wall had just made an emotionless automatic time signal - "It's twelve o'clock Beijing time."
The little girl lay on his desk and looked down at her phone, supporting her chin with one hand and swiping the screen with the other, her slightly curly hair falling down her shoulders, a rare quiet look.
Looking down, Xu Chenan knew that he was thinking too much.
I don't know how many patients have sat on this chair, some are nervous, some are weak, some are polite, but I have never seen her like this, and she sat in a bold and chic posture.
He was still wondering why she hadn't left yet, until Shen Taotao found him and jumped down from the small round stool, and then he suddenly remembered that there was such a thing as an appointment.
She stepped on high heels, and when she landed, she was not very steady, and she stumbled a little, but fortunately she quickly stood firm, and trotted to his side again.
Xu Chen'an's heart also pinched, and he frowned and just wanted her to stop running, but someone gently grabbed her cuffs: "Doctor Xu, you finally came out, I'm going to be hungry!"
He felt a little guilty in his heart, and just as he wanted to explain a few sentences, he was interrupted by Shen Taotao again: "So what are we going to eat?" I know that there are many delicious restaurants around here, and I have recommendations for anything you want to eat. ”
Looking at her expectant gaze, Xu Chenan had to discourage her enthusiasm and spit out two words to face reality: "Canteen." ”
Shen Taotao couldn't hide his disappointed look, but he quickly lifted his spirits again: "The canteen is okay, I haven't eaten the canteen of the medical hall yet...... I don't like to eat that stuff, Dr. Xu opened a small stove for me?"
Xu Chenan was amused by her and smiled: "Don't worry, little girl, doctors are also human beings, and they also want to eat delicious food, it's not so exaggerated." ”
