63 Chapter 63
Chen Lou's illness came suddenly, and it went quickly.
Two days later, he boarded the plane to Qingshi, and before taking off, he sent a message to Jiang You asking for the name of the hotel, but he didn't expect that the message he received after getting off the plane was not the hotel address - Jiang You had something at home, so he went back first.
Jiang You was also shocked when he received the information from home, Mr. Gao's pathological biopsy showed very good at the beginning, and there was no special reaction when he first started chemotherapy. Jiang You went on a business trip with peace of mind. However, unexpectedly, the day before Chen Lou came over, Jiang's mother called to say that Mr. Gao had a chemotherapy reaction.
Jiang You was anxious, and he calculated that he would be able to finish things soon, so he told Jiang's mother that he would be able to go back in two days, and talked to Mr. Gao on the phone to encourage him.
That night he couldn't sleep soundly that night, and he always had some bad omens when he was half asleep, and he called the hospital worriedly before dawn the next day.
The phone rang three times before someone picked it up, it was the nurse on duty over there, who told him that Jiang's mother was also sick, and he had a low-grade fever yesterday, and asked him about when he would be able to come back. Jiang You asked carefully, and then he realized that Jiang's mother had been reporting good news and not bad news, and she really couldn't hold on yesterday, so she called him.
Jiang You has been abroad for a few years, and he is ashamed of his parents, and he was very guilty when he knew that Mr. Gao was sick, and he finally couldn't stay anymore, so he hurriedly explained the matter to another person in charge, and bought the earliest flight back to City C. He was too anxious to leave, and only after arriving in City C did he remember that there was still Chen Lou today. called Chen Lou again, and the other party had already turned off the plane and taken off.
Jiang You said very sorry on the phone, Chen Lou was also a little worried, he was sick a few days ago so he didn't go to the hospital, but he didn't expect that the situation would be so bad after only a few days. Chen Lou comforted Jiang You a few words, and said that he would cooperate with the local training arrangements here, so that he didn't have to worry about it, just concentrate on taking care of Teacher Gao. Jiang You just said yes, and was called away by the doctor again.
Two days later, the project kick-off meeting was held at Qingshi Medical University.
In the past two days, Chen Lou met several people one after another, first the person in charge of the Chunyu Foundation, the other party hurriedly chatted a few words and arranged accommodation and left, and then the leader of the medical university and a few medical students who came to visit, almost three meals a day. These people are all coming for the name of S University, although they have no intention of stammering, but they are very polite in and out of words, Chen Lou copes with it quite hard, but he can only follow the local customs.
During this period, he and Jiang You also passed several phone calls, but Jiang You was lacking in skills over there, either no one answered or he was about to hang up in a hurry or two, Chen Lou was worried that his phone call was not at the right time, so he could only tell the other party that there was a situation to tell him. As for his own arrangement, he couldn't ask, so he could only take one step at a time.
On the rare sunny day of Tianqing City at the kick-off meeting, Chen Lou was inevitably nervous when he walked into the venue - he had never seen the world again, and he had never participated in such a high-level memorization reception, this time he came to the mainstream news media in China, and the arrangements from the host to the venue were extraordinarily grand.
When Chen Lou sat down, he felt a little unreal, and when he saw a camera facing him, he could only sit upright, waiting for more important leaders to enter.
This admission lasted for more than ten minutes, and the leaders of the municipal government and the medical university entered the venue one by one, and Chen Lou was about to smile politely at these strangers, when he smelled a little perfume.
The taste was very shallow, but Chen Lou was extremely familiar. His heart beat violently, and when he subconsciously turned his head, he saw the man coming from the other side of the venue, pinching the cuff with one hand, smiling at the reporter in the front row, and then sitting on his right hand.
Where Guan Yu was, there was another name written impressively. Chen Lou was a little stunned for a while, looked at the nameplate, and unconsciously turned his gaze to Guan Yu again, until the latter reminded in a low voice: "It's started." ”
Sure enough, after the host finished the microphone test, there was warm applause in the audience. Chen Lou was still in a trance, his eyes were looking ahead, but his mind was a mess - why did Guan Yu come? What about the original people? Does he know Jiang You or not? Why didn't Jiang You say anything if he knew?
The more I think about all kinds of problems, the more chaotic I become, and the chaos becomes a mess, and I don't have any clue. The original light perfume smell on the tip of the nose was full of presence, Chen Lou felt that the tip of his nose was a little hot, and he thought that he had just seen Guan Yu dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his eyes were like a star, and his demeanor was calm, which was still eye-catching. His handsomeness has come out of the still immature "sharp edges and corners", refining the calm temperament of the composite identity, when the magnesium light came over, Chen Lou clearly saw that the contours of his side face were deep, and even caused a slight noise on the opposite side.
I have to admit that Chen Lou was also a little flustered at that moment. He didn't even know how long he had been stunned just now, so that the other party had to whisper a reminder, and thought that the other party had not made any eye contact since he entered the entrance, although he sat side by side with him, he only looked ahead, and suddenly felt a little remorseful in his heart.
Chen Lou slowly lowered his head to look at the notebook on the table, stared at the head of "Qingshi Medical University" on the notebook, and heard what seemed to be a deputy director speaking in the distance, the voice was very similar to the principal of his high school, and after a while, he felt that his seat was probably out of place - he and Guan Yu were too close, and as soon as he moved slightly, his right leg seemed to touch each other. The hands of the two were too close to each other, the watch dial of Guan Yu's left hand and the back of Chen Lou's hand were almost close to each other, and Chen Lou didn't dare to move casually, so he could only maintain his original sitting posture until the end of the reception.
This kind of torment lasted for more than an hour, and Chen Lou felt that he had probably never been so embarrassed in his life. After the meeting, he hurried back to the hotel, and only then began to regret that he had been so bad today, in any way.
He felt that he should have been nervous at the time, and he would inevitably overreact when he saw anything, and he felt that there was also a factor that was too contrasting, after all, he thought that it was Jiang You's colleague, but how could he have thought that it was his ex-boyfriend.
In addition, his own change of mood also has a little effect, if he still hates Guan Yu, or is as reluctant to stay away as before, then today is embarrassing at most, like a dinner party for the school anniversary. But unfortunately, he was in the hotel a few days ago, and he began to remember a lot of previous details from the night he was drunk, and then examined the eyes of Guan Yu every time he was excited or sad when the two of them were just reborn, focused and pure, as if reflecting the stars in the sky.
Even if Guan Yu didn't have any eye contact with him today, Chen Lou couldn't ignore those eyes.
It took a long time for the mood to calm down little by little, and after a while, the sun was slanting outside the window, and the cool breeze came in waves from the half-open window, Chen Lou wiped his face in a trance, and then realized that he had been sitting for too long.
There was a banquet that night, and it was estimated that all government personnel and representatives of the two foundations attended, Chen Lou was not interested in this, so he called the person in charge of the organizer, and euphemistically said that he was unwell and could not participate in the evening. Fortunately, the other party was very nice and politely asked if they needed help. Chen Lou hurriedly said no. As soon as I hung up the phone, I received another message from Jiang You.
Mr. Gao hung up the nutrient solution for a few days and replenished the nutrients, and now the chemotherapy response has stopped. The whole popularity is also much better. Jiang You specially found a cook lady to cook the soup for Mr. Gao. There is no big problem on Jiang's mother's side, but as soon as Jiang You relaxes after she goes back, many problems have returned, and she has to recuperate for a while.
Chen Lou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that Jiang You said that now the family can't do without him, and he may not be able to come for a while, just let Chen Lou ask his boss directly if there is anything here. Chen Lou was stunned for a moment and asked who it was.
Jiang You wrote back that it was Mr. Guan, that he had established the foundation, and that he was also a major donor. He also said that Mr. Guan will stay in the local area for a while, because generally this kind of donation activities for remote areas are very easy to be peeled off, such as building a health center, which may have cost 100,000 yuan, but the leaders of various provinces and cities visited the site in the past, drove all the way to the hotel, and all kinds of high-priced meals were all from the donations, and the total cost may become 200,000 yuan. The previous projects of their foundation were all carried out by themselves, and every penny was implemented, and this time they could only pay for cooperation with others, Mr. Guan was not at ease, so he quietly went over to take a look.
Chen Lou hadn't thought about these cats, but after a little thought, he knew that this kind of thing was inevitable. He hesitated for a while, originally wanted to confess his relationship with Guan Yu to Jiang You, but he thought that the purpose of Guan Yu's trip had nothing to do with him, and today's performance was completely unaware of himself, so it was better to keep his mouth shut.
Jiang You's busy feet didn't touch the ground, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he obviously didn't have the energy to care about other things.
In the next few days, Guan Yu was not seen again, Chen Lou stayed here for a few days, and was arranged to give two classes to the representatives of the health bureaus selected by various districts and counties, and he was somewhat unable to persevere.
When Jiang You asked him if he agreed, he readily agreed, first, because he knew that this matter was good for his future, and secondly, he sincerely wanted to do something practical. However, it turns out that the so-called "medical poverty alleviation and relief training" is completely gilded for the people of the health bureaus of the districts and counties below, and the men and women who came to the school, from the dress to the style, do not look like a poor county at all, and they all hold small books and pretend to be in class, and the names of the courses are also close to cutting-edge medicine. But in fact, no one listened carefully at all, and they all lowered their heads and played with their phones.
A total of five days of training, after the third day, Chen Lou finally couldn't help it, and explained to the person in charge of the project, hoping that he would finish the class in advance, and the remaining two days he wanted to go to the following districts and counties to see if there was anything he could do.
The person in charge readily agreed, and reminded that there will be a car to Emiyama County about tomorrow afternoon, which is a project car for the disease relief of poor children. Qishan County is also a poor county in Qingshi, but it is located in the west of Qishan Mountain, and the transportation is inconvenient.
The person in charge contacted the driver for him again, and Chen Lou breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, Chen Lou took up a morning and finished all the lessons. Mr. Gao just finished the first course of chemotherapy, Jiang's mother's body recovered, and the family was temporarily discharged home. When Chen Lou answered the phone, he was putting his luggage in the bus, and he returned the hotel, and he could only take all his luggage with him. It's just that Jiang You was happy over there, chatting with him about the troubles of Mr. Gao's bedside doctor.
Chen Lou could only hold his mobile phone between his ears and shoulders, smiling and listening to him while looking for a place to put the box.
The bus was full of piggyback goods, large and small bags of luggage, Chen Lou looked down for a long time, and just saw an open space that could barely be opened, he saw someone on the right stretched out his hand, lifted his box, and put it there steadily.
Guan Yu put the box away, dragged a piece of felt cloth from the duffel bag on the side to block this side of the suitcase, and then got up and looked down at him.
Jiang You shouted over there, "Hey, hey...... Chen Lou, are you listening? ”
Chen Lou paused and said, "...... Listening. ”
Jiang You asked: "Hahahahaha, did you say it was funny...... His voice was hearty, and the laughter was clear through the microphone. Guan Yu paused, retracted his gaze and turned to get on the bus. Chen Lou's face was inexplicably hot, and he hung up the phone in a hurry, then he took a deep breath and followed.
The county is far away from the city of Qingshi, and it takes four or five hours for the bus to arrive. Chen Lou didn't expect that he would get motion sickness, he was dizzy and nauseous, and when he was resting halfway on the road, he was busy running to a distance and vomiting for a while, and then he barely managed to get to the place. Fortunately, when he got out of the car, he met two enthusiastic companions, everyone arranged to live together, and the two people helped him carry his things and the other helped him, and changed to a car and walked to the town below.
The road to the town was even more difficult, Chen Lou was dizzy and uncomfortable, and he felt like the world was spinning when he was half lying on the seat. I couldn't help but think that the county would return the car to the town, so many people didn't know how many cars they wanted, and they were comfortable, but they didn't know if it was a donation.
He was worried in his heart, and when he arrived at the town's guest house, he saw that the original bus had been following. They were the only ones who were the only ones in the whole process.
The people who lived with him had already helped him carry his luggage into the room, a room for three, an inn. Chen Lou never slowed down, so he simply put his clothes on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
This sleep was like fainting, Chen Lou was woken up hungry the next morning, and his energy was a lot fuller. He quietly washed up, sat back on the bed and looked outside, only to realize that this was an ancient town.
I don't know when a light rain is falling outside, and occasionally a pedestrian or two walks on the hazy street, stepping on the bluestone pavement and making a slight clicking sound. The buildings on both sides are stone walls and black tiles, and then there are two stilted buildings in the distance, looking antique, there is a quiet taste in the hazy smoke and rain.
Chen Lou's training has been completed, so there is no work on this trip. He originally went to the countryside to see if there was a need for his own place in the health center. In his impression, the poor counties are the kind of people who can only see one or two villages by crossing the mountains and mountains, and it takes a few miles to see a doctor, and they can only eat bran vegetables when they eat.
He sat at the head of the bed for a while, and when he saw the people on both sides snoring one after another without resting, he couldn't help being hungry, so he changed his clothes first and decided to find something to eat.
As soon as he went out, he happened to meet someone coming out on the other side, and he was also dressed and about to go out, Chen Lou was inexplicably a little happy, and he looked up and was about to say hello before he recognized it as Guan Yu.
He froze for a moment, then turned around and pretended to close the door of his room. Guan Yu had already walked over, frowned, and looked down at him: "Wear so little?" ”
Chen Lou hurriedly came back to his senses, coughed lightly and said, "It's okay, it's not cold." ”
"This side is close to the river, and the temperature is low in the morning," Guan Yu blocked the way and insisted: "Go get a coat again, I'll wait for you here." ”
Chen Lou subconsciously pushed the door, and only after walking in did he realize that the atmosphere was a little wrong. He was a little stunned for a while, and it was not okay not to take the coat, he hesitated at the door for a long time, and finally took a jacket slowly.
This grinding for more than ten minutes, Guan Yu was still waiting outside, with his hands in his pockets, leaning on the wooden railing of the stairs and looking down. He put the hat of the sweatshirt on his head, and from Chen Lou's angle, he could only see the sharp bridge of the nose and the beautiful line of the chin. At this time, he looked like a young fresh meat in his twenties, and even his movements were somewhat similar - the railing was only a horizontal log, and the middle was all empty, and he could fall down if he slipped and fell.
Chen Lou glanced at the railing several times, Guan Yu heard the door knock, turned his head expressionlessly, and looked behind him along his line of sight, then stood up straight and went down the stairs in front of him.
The two of them maintained an eerie silence this morning. After Guan Yu went out, he walked slowly in front of him, and he didn't look back to talk to him. Chen Lou followed at a slower speed behind, which was even more awkward. He wanted to show that the two of them were going separately several times halfway, but when he thought about it, Guan Yu didn't say that he had to be with him, and it was inevitable that he would be a little sentimental when he said this. But if you don't say hello and find a fork in the road and walk away, you will inevitably be childish and hypocritical.
He hesitated, and finally decided to pretend that he was walking slowly and lost it, so it is natural to be separated, if you want to blame, you can only blame Guan Yu's legs for being too long, and his own being too short. The more Chen Lou thought about it, the more appropriate it became, he really slowed down, looked left and right along the bluestone road, who knew that after walking out of a section, Guan Yu still didn't go far - probably the person in front of him had eyes on the back of his head, and his steps were as small as his steps.
Chen Lou: "......"
Unconsciously wandered out two streets, and finally Guan Yu finally stopped in front of an early stall. Chen Lou hesitated for a moment, only to realize that this was the only early shop they had met when they went out until now.
Guan Yu sat down and glanced at Chen Lou expressionlessly, and waited for Chen Lou to sit down before saying, "The scenery here is good, but the medical level is really backward." At most, you can train the staff of the health center here, but it is of limited use, and the most lacking thing here is medicine and equipment. ”
Chen Lou listened to him talk about business, and the discomfort in his heart was lightened, and he also said seriously: "That's the case, but I didn't prepare before I came, and what I can do now is limited, and the training of the personnel of the health center also depends on their wishes, what they want to learn, I can teach it." Do you also bring medicine and equipment? ”
Guan Yu shook his head.
Chen Lou remembered that Jiang You told him about the name of the project in which Chunyu participated, which seemed to be the disease relief for poor children. The owner of the early shop served the buns that the two of them wanted, Guan Yu picked one with chopsticks, and said while blowing cold: "The money for the relief of poor children's diseases has been allocated to the children's hospital in order to help the hospitalized children with difficult families." In the past, our project was based on the financial allocation of the hospital, and the donors provided post-publication reimbursement, so as to avoid the misappropriation of false funds for reimbursement, and there was no need for poor families to pay in advance. It's just that this time it's different, but there's nothing you can do. ”
Chen Lou didn't know why he said this, and comforted: "There will always be trade-offs in cooperation, and your own project execution method is still very good." ”
"Yes," Guan Yu paused, raised his head and looked at him and said, "These are all Jiang Youding's." ”
The drizzle in the morning had already wet the hair of the two of them, and Chen Lou probably didn't expect him to mention Jiang You, and his face was still a little dazed.
Guan Yu looked at his wet and fair face, his eyes fell on those beautiful and clear eyes, paused, chuckled and said, "I haven't blessed you yet, I wish you happiness." ”
