Chapter 41: The Lonely Doctor
The mission center occupies more than half of the five floors, and the remaining half is occupied by the infirmary. At this time, the infirmary was full of people, and the business was no less than that of the mission center, but the atmosphere here was obviously much more oppressive, there were many people, but they were all softly talking, and the corridors were full of anxious people on the benches.
It was only a few steps away, but Gu Lian seemed to have come to another world, and she couldn't help but relax her steps.
An old man slowly walked out of the door, supported by someone, Gu Lian looked fixedly, it turned out to be someone she knew.
"Mother Liuliu, grandmother Quan. ”
Gu Lian stepped forward and greeted politely.
"Gu Lian, it's you. Mother Liu Liu raised her head, and the slightly sad beauty showed a smile and said softly.
"What's wrong with Grandma Quan?" Gu Lian looked at Grandma Quan.
The old man's back was lying on his back, as if he was carrying a thousand pounds, and his wrinkled face was cracked like a long-term drought of loess. Her head was covered with a veil, wrapped around her forehead again and again, and there was faint blood oozing out, and she looked more and more embarrassed.
She seemed to have been a shrewd and wise person, so when she was old, she didn't want to show a trace of embarrassment, Gu Lian remembered that she saw the vigilant old man through the half-open crack of the door, her clothes were clean and plain, trying her best to cover up her old and crooked body, and she wordlessly maintained the last dignity and self-esteem.
However, this effort, against the background of the white veil blood, seemed so pale and weak.
The old man's dim eyes looked dazed, moving slightly, but they had no purpose, ethereal and empty. Yesterday's commotion seemed to be the final blow of fate, shattering the old man's life.
"Yesterday when I was dodging. I accidentally fell, but fortunately there was no fracture, but my head was bumped. It's a hole. Mother Liu Liu whispered softly, helping Grandma Quan to walk towards the bench.
"How's the injury? It's okay, right?" Gu Lian walked to the other side of Grandma Quan, stretched out her arms and carefully supported her. Her words and touch only made Grandma Quan's head tilt slightly to this side, but I don't know if she didn't recognize who it was, or if even such a small movement made her exhausted, Grandma Quan quickly gave up trying and hung her head blankly.
Grandma Quan's status in people's hearts is not low. At least for the scarred people who had arrived from the abandoned lands of the base, she was an old man to rely on in times of hesitation and pain.
Seeing Grandma Quan coming, the people around stood up silently. Liu Liu's mother and Gu Lian worked together to place the whole grandmother on a chair. Several people who came to see a doctor from the base were taken aback, some people looked at this group of solemn and sad people, showing a look of sudden realization, while most of them were completely dazed. It was as if the Muggles had seen the purple-robed magician. A young woman with a low-grade fever happened to be sitting in the middle of the group. While sniffing, he looked at them suspiciously, shaking his head slightly from time to time, looking extremely puzzled.
But she didn't run away, she didn't speak. The base is safe, worry-free, and as long as you fulfill your duties and "missions," there is no pain or danger -- this is a concept that is instilled in the base's broadcasts day after day. And she unconsciously believes that it is true.
The young woman's life, reality, and present are all built into this huge but small building. From life, to the present, and perhaps to death.
So, she just hugged her smooth arms and muttered in a low voice, "A bunch of crazy people." ”
Grandma Quan sat there sluggishly, while Gu Lian pulled Liuliu's mother to the side.
"What's going on?" Gu Lian bit her lip and asked, suddenly feeling tingling, remembering the events of last night, she was distracted for a moment, but soon, her attention returned to Liu Liu's mother.
The whole grandmother's behavior is by no means normal. Is it just being frightened?
"The women's welfare home is something she has cherished and protected since she was kicked out of the base. For her, it's career, faith, and home, and as long as it exists, she's alive. ”
The beautiful woman's eyes showed sadness.
Perhaps for this beautiful woman in her early thirties, she empathizes with the pain of her grandmother. There is no home, no love, no warmth in the base, only cold order and strangers coming and going. The pain of abandonment and the reluctance to be exiled were released in a place called the Women's Welfare Home, where they found their families, found their companions, and had the meaning to live, and these disappeared after an attack.
Where can I find it?
It was with great difficulty that she found and put down roots.
Gu Lian listened silently and moved her lips: "As long as you are together, even if you leave there temporarily, it is just a move......
"Really?" Liu Liu's mother just smiled, the corners of her eyes slightly curved, "To be able to think like this, Gu Lian, I envy you." ”
So, Gu Lian was speechless. In Gu Lian's heart, the word "envy" is a kind of resistance, and people like to use this word to separate themselves from others.
Underneath this warm praise lies a pride in reluctance to change and disdain for others.
But Gu Lian didn't feel that what she said was wrong. It was with this idea that she survived the homesickness again and again and survived the sleepless nights.
Gu Lian was leaning against the wall alone, and when she was distracted, she saw Wang Song hurriedly walking by out of the corner of her eye.
"You're suspicious of him. The indifferent narration sounded, Gu Lian turned her head, the eyebrows above the mask depicted tiredness and indifference, she hesitated for a while, "Are you Yan Yuzhen?"
The pale-looking man looked at her and didn't speak.
Gu Lian smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, because Gu Yisheng pretended to be you to approach me before, so I ......" And although these two people have different demeanors and personalities, they are both thin and have an unhealthy pale face, if they just look at it from the back, anyone has to try to distinguish it.
"I heard that you finally recognized me. After a while, Yan Yuzhen's voice sounded through the mask, a little muffled, and he couldn't hear the emotion.
"Ah, you know?" Gu Lian smiled in surprise, "Do you know him?"
"I hate him. Yan Yuzhen said quietly.
Gu Lian's black line. Hey Dr. Yan, you don't seem to be right at all.
"Am I bothering you?" Gu Lian asked as she looked at the patients who came and went.
"It's okay, they let me out. Say I'm going to affect other people. Yan Yuzhen's voice was calm, "Wait for me." ”
Gu Lian watched the thin and tall man turn around, his white coat arced, and his steps were as sharp as a scalpel, cutting a straight path through the crowd. It can be seen that both doctors and patients have a wordless fear and disgust for Yan Yuzhen.
Soon. He came out again, changed into civilian clothes, and took off his mask. By the way, he gave her a small medicine bottle.
What is it? Gu Lian shook the bottle, thought of Miss Liuliu, smiled, and said, "Skin care products?"
Apparently Dr. Gan didn't know what humor was. glanced at her. He frowned as if he was troublesome: "Mouth." ”
Gu Lian subconsciously touched it, and immediately blushed, and covered her lips in embarrassment: "Doctor Yan, are you observing very carefully......?"
When it's over, she's going to die, she thought it wasn't very serious, but she didn't expect Yan Yuzhen to be able to see it at a glance, so shouldn't everyone along the way see it? Oh my God, it's too embarrassing to let her die once!
Yan Yuzhen didn't know what she thought of again, she turned her head to face her, and looked serious: "If you encounter this kind of thing next time." It's best to be a little more cooperative, and if you really don't want to, you can elbow your ribs or ......"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Gu Lian gritted her teeth. He covered his mouth on tiptoe. She pretended to be calm with a big red face, "There won't be such a thing again, absolutely!"
Dr. Yan frowned, looked down at her, she held this position for three seconds, and discussed with him: "I am on tiptoe and my feet hurt, or this, I let go, you shut up?"
A smile flashed in Yan Yuzhen's indifferent eyes, and she blinked in agreement, Gu Lian nodded with satisfaction and put down her hand, but when she turned her head, she saw the surprised and suspicious eyes of the people in the infirmary.
"Doctor Yan, you don't seem to be very popular......" Gu Lian muttered.
Yan Yuzhen sneered lightly and said indifferently: "I can't ask for it." ”
The two of them walked out as they talked, and suddenly, the people who had come in from outside noticed him and got up and surrounded him one by one.
"Thank you, Dr. Yan......"
"If it weren't for you, my child doesn't know what would have happened......"
"It doesn't matter if he's hurt, right?"
In the gossiping voice, Yan Yuzhen was stunned for a moment, looking a little at a loss, and subconsciously glanced down at Gu Lian. Gu Lian saw the expression of "human" on his face for the first time, and couldn't help but secretly cover her mouth and smile, holding his arm to cheer him up.
Yan Yuzhen subconsciously held her wrist in turn, the slender and stable hand that could skillfully operate the scalpel was very powerful, Gu Lian felt a little pain in the bone, but she didn't say anything, she only smiled and looked at him a little embarrassed in the face of the kindness of the patient and their family.
Finally, Yan Yuzhen hurriedly ended the conversation with a little stammer, and pulled Gu Lian out of the crowd. The long legs were extremely fast, Gu Lian needed to trot to keep up, and finally came to the elevator door to stop, Gu Lian laughed breathlessly: "Hahaha, Doctor Yan, why didn't I find you so cute before!"
Yan Yuzhen didn't know whether she was angry or running too quickly, and a very light pink color appeared on her pale face, adding a little anger. His usual indifferent eyes were filled with anger and condemnation, and he looked at her lying on his arm and laughing so much that she couldn't stand up: "You...... Don't help me. He pursed his thin lips, a little aggrieved.
"People like you so much, why am I embarrassed to disturb!" Gu Lian screamed, but her eyes were crooked, and she couldn't hide her smile and cunning.
Yan Yu turned over as if he was angry, stared at the declining elevator monitor, and whispered something.
"What are you talking about, Doctor Yan?" Gu Lian finally laughed enough, took a breath, let go of her hand and stood up straight, patted his arm and asked.
"They just don't know. Yan Yuzhen repeated, his face gradually returning to his usual pale and indifferent, and his thin body stood straight and tall as if he was about to face a battle at any time, "If they knew my reputation, they wouldn't do this to me." I hate this wayward affection, which I seek after when I am happy and spurn when I am unhappy, and I don't care at all about the mood of the person who is pushed to the top of the wave......"
"But at this moment, they like you. This is sincere, you have feelings, right?" Gu Lian said with a straight face.
Yan Yuzhen's eyes drifted a little, looked at her, and wandered to other places.
She looked small, her face was tender and her eyes were black, she couldn't get rid of her childishness, but she just made a serious look, Yan Yuzhen instinctively felt that she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh.
- Actually, he's a person who doesn't laugh very well.
"If you ......" After a long time, when the elevator door opened, Yan Yuzhen finally spoke, his eyes looking straight ahead, "If they are born and raised in this base, they will be the same as everyone else in the base, there is no difference." People are creatures that can be modeled, and every time I think about it, I get bored. ”
Is this the fundamental reason why he looks so misanthropic? Gu Lian speculated, seeing that the elevator was about to close, she pushed him, squeezed into it herself, pressed the floor, she turned her head to look at Yan Yuzhen's eyes, and suddenly laughed: "Doctor Yan, you are really an upright person. ”
Yan Yuzhen looked at her expressionlessly.
"You say you hate them, but even so, you're happy. ”
Yan Yuzhen must not have seen it, he looked at him with a faint hope and dependence in his eyes, as if waiting for Gu Lian to give him an excuse to be relieved and happy.
Gu Lian pulled his sleeve and made him bend down, stood on tiptoe slightly, purred his hair like a big black panther, and said with a smile: "You are already great, healing the sick, and getting their gratitude, this is what you deserve, you're welcome." ”
Yan Yuzhen opened her mouth slightly, looked at her a little confused for a while, maintained a bent posture, and said indifferently: "I don't like people touching my hair." ”
"Got it, got it. Gu Lian smiled and withdrew her hand and shook her hand that was a little numb, so she hated tall people.
When the elevator arrived, Gu Lian took a step forward, waiting to go out, and suddenly felt something above her head, and when she raised her head slightly, Dr. Yan looked at her expressionlessly, and her slender hand patted her a few times stiffly and carefully.
"......" Gu Lian couldn't keep up with his thinking logic.
"I don't like it, but you do. Yan Yuzhen pursed her lips, turned her face unnaturally, and then turned back to look at her as if she were asking for verification.
Gu Lian covered her face silently, feeling a little hot. Touching the head and killing is indeed every girl's dream, but ...... It's embarrassing to be known. (To be continued.) )
