At the dinner table, Ji Tong was still reflecting on it, Hang Jiabai smiled and said no, she suddenly thought: "What about your teacher, will he be angry?" ”

"No, I just talked to him on the phone, and he said it's okay, and it's the same if I go back tomorrow." Hang Jiabai sandwiched a sea urchin into her bowl, "This can be eaten." ”

Ji Tong suddenly felt a little frustrated, feeling that he was getting older, but his brain didn't keep up. After so many years, it's still the same mess as before. She thought she was pretending to be very mature and capable, but when she saw him, it was like a sea urchin bun with a bite, and the whole stuffing was exposed.

When he was immersed in eating, Ji Tong suddenly remembered the discussion of those people just now, so he asked him for advice: "Hang Jiabai, is there a kind of heart disease called 'room' or something?" ”

"Atrial septal defect." He blurted out a word she didn't understand, "It's a common congenital heart malformation in clinical practice, why did you suddenly think of asking this?" ”

"Recently there was a guest, his daughter has this disease, and she is a very cute little girl." When she talked about this, she couldn't help but sigh, "Is this kind of disease strict?" ”

"It's hard to say, some of them can heal themselves when they are young, but whether it is a heart-related disease should be taken seriously." Hang Jiabai looked at her embarrassed face, "Do you need me to explain it to you?" ”

"Forget it." Ji Tong frowned helplessly, "You told me, and I don't understand." ”

Hang Jia smiled whitely, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly spread, and his calm gaze gave people a sense of stability, "Don't worry, Ji Tong." ”

He seemed to have been born to be a doctor. Just one sentence inexplicably relieved her, no wonder so many female patients love to find him.

Ji Tong unconsciously looked at him secretly for a long time, and he didn't even eat the spinach that was caught in his mouth, until the person opposite finally couldn't help but raise his eyes and looked at her blankly: "What's the matter, keep staring at me?" ”

"You usually ...... Busy at work? ”

Hang Jiabai didn't think twice: "It's okay, I'm not too busy, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's fine." She said that it was okay, but in her heart she took out Xiaoxuan's theory and revisited it.

**

On Sunday, Hang Jiabai took her not to the hospital, but to the home of an old Chinese medicine doctor. This is his old professor at university, a highly respected scholar in the field of integrative medicine, who just retired last year and now raises flowers and plants at home.

As soon as Professor Meng saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "Jiabai, this is your girlfriend, right?" ”

"Hmm." Hang Jiabai admitted, and at the moment when the old professor turned around, he handed Ji Tong a suggestive look, but Ji Tong was still confused.

In the villa in the suburbs, the old professor planted some herbs for health by himself, and the house was filled with a bitter and fragrant smell, which made her feel calm instantly.

I talked about the basic symptoms and did some tests. The other party smiled kindly, and he already knew it in his heart, but after withdrawing his hand, he said to Hang Jiabai on the side: "Why don't you treat the girl yourself?" Have you given me back everything you taught? ”

He replied, "I don't think you're there." ”

"I just have a little more experience than you, and the theoretical knowledge is the same." Professor Meng motioned for him to come over, "You are the top among the students I have bred, come, you can help her take a look, and I will take a look at the prescription." ”

Suddenly changed from a patient to Hang Jiabai's exam question, Ji Tong was so nervous, he looked at the person next to him cautiously, he was very calm, nodded and accepted it calmly: "Okay." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hang Jiabai stood up, bent over casually and half-sat at the table, looking down at her from above, "Ji Tong, tongue." ”

She looked up and stuck out her tongue obediently. Hang Jiabai lowered his head and approached, staring intently at her tongue, which made Ji Tong blush instantly. Looking from her direction, Hang Jiabai's whole person was wrapped in the sunlight that came through the window behind him, as if he was glowing.

After reading it, he took her slender wrist again.

Hang Jiabai's hand was warm even in winter, and when her fingers lightly touched her wrist, the back of her knobby hand was half-suspended, and the temperature of her palm came through the air finely and densely. He was still focused when he took the pulse, but for a few seconds, his gaze quietly probed into her eyes, and it was clearly a calm staring at each other, but it gave her the illusion of cheating.

The old professor was behind the desk, just obscured by his body, as if it were just him and her in the small space. This subtle and ambiguous eye exchange was like ink drops in clear water, gradually melting in Ji Tong's heart, causing the temperature to rise rapidly and his heartbeat to speed up.

Just when she was worried about whether Hang Jiabai would notice this abnormal heartbeat, he just let go of his hand and said that there was already a result.

Professor Meng teased him with a smile: "I thought you were going to hold someone's girl's little hand like this until it was dark." ”

The implication is that he's slow.

Hang Jiabai also made a rare joke: "I want to, but it's a pity that I have to be on duty for a while." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a pen and paper, wrote a page of prescriptions and handed it to Professor Meng.

Professor Meng lifted his glasses, read them carefully, nodded and smiled: "Okay, don't you know how to cure yourself?" ”

Hang Jiabai asked again, "Is there anything that needs to be adjusted?" ”

"No need, you should know best what kind of physique your girlfriend has." Professor Meng returned the recipe to him, "It's not a big problem, it's just ...... It's a bit of a deficiency of qi and blood, you know how to regulate. ”

"yes, I know."

After finishing speaking, Professor Meng squinted and said to Ji Tong with a smile: "Girl, don't worry, Hang Jiabai will take care of you personally, and the medicine will be cured." If he can't cure you, come to me, and I'll help you clean him up. ”

Then he said a lot of health care to himself, especially for a frail girl like Ji Tong, from food supplement to life and rest. The two sat in front of the professor's desk, one on the left and one on the right, listening to his painstaking speech. This scene was a little weird, Ji Tong couldn't help but sneak a peek at the person next to him, and he just happened to glance at her tacitly, his eyes were full of smiles.

When he left Professor Meng's house, Hang Jiabai revealed the meaning of the look in his eyes when he entered the door just now: "The professor is not taking people lightly now, he thought that we were in that relationship, so he agreed." ”

Ji Tong smiled and said, "It can be seen that you should be his protégé." ”

**

After seeing the doctor, the two of them were not in a hurry, so they walked around the neighborhood together. As soon as he saw the sign of the ice cream shop at the entrance of the mall, Ji Tong's eyes lit up, and he was seen through by Hang Jiabai at a glance. He didn't say that he forbade her to eat it, but suddenly pursed the corners of his lips and laughed.

Ji Tong noticed it instantly and asked him, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I remember one winter, you were clamoring for ice cream, and I didn't let you, and you suddenly cried." Hang Jiabai couldn't cry or laugh, and talked about the past lightly, "There is an old lady on the side who thinks I am bullying you, so she preaches to me. ”

Ji Tong was a little caught off guard and was brought into his memories by him, and couldn't help laughing: "I don't know what happened that day, I cried as soon as my brain was hot, and I felt very wronged, and the more I cried, the more aggrieved I became." ”

"Well, I actually cried wet my sweater." He gestured helplessly to his chest.

Ji Tong laughed at him for being stupid: "Then why don't you explain?" ”

But he took it for granted: "I'm going to explain, shouldn't it be your turn to be counted?" ”

In fact, if you think about it carefully, he is a character who is quiet and does not like to explain. Although I can occasionally talk and laugh with people now, I still don't change my rigorous and solemn nature between my eyebrows.

Ji Tong never thought that she would have a relaxed chat with Hang Jiabai about the day before, even if his appearance became blurred day by day in her dreams, she never had the slightest idea of looking for him. She always felt that Hang Jiabai must have been driven away by her own willfulness, and took Miss Gu, whom his mother liked, to go to the ocean together.

She had seen the plane ticket, which was sandwiched in Hang Jiabai's medical book, and a check for millions of tuition. Ji Tong is a person who can't hide secrets, and he told Hang Jiabai frankly that day that if he chooses to study abroad, then she will wait for him to come back in Shanghai. She cried as she spoke, and then fell into a soft embrace. Hang Jiabai firmly told her: "Tongtong, I promise not to go anywhere." ”

But the person who said conclusively that he wanted to stay for her back then finally went abroad.

After a simple meal, Hang Jiabai sent her home, and she had to rush back to the hospital.

He wanted to go upstairs to say hello, but Ji Tong said that there was no one at home, and Ji's mother went out to play again.

Hang Jiabai asked her, "Are you often home alone?" ”

"Pretty much, it's quite comfortable to be alone." As soon as the words fell, Ji Tong noticed the fleeting loneliness in his eyes, and the last time she saw this kind of look was five years ago.

In the parking lot outside Huaxin Hospital, he stood stiffly in the cold night rain, his eyes were so hollow. When a car passed behind him, the lights stretched his shadow long. Ji's father had an accident, Ji Tong and his mother both collapsed, and when she needed Hang Jiabai the most, he was far away at Pudong Airport, planning to run towards his new and beautiful life. knew that his choice was not wrong, but at that time, Ji Tong still willfully threw all the negative feelings to him alone. She was so uncomfortable that she cried bitterly in the heavy rain, saying Hang Jiabai, don't come to me, I want to be alone.

He said clumsily: "Then I'll wait for you......"

"Don't wait! I mean...... Let's break up. She stubbornly broke free from his embrace, and pushed him away fiercely, "Didn't you leave with that Miss Gu?" Let's go! You're a natural pair! ”

"I didn't have to leave, I really ......" The surgeon, who was not alarmed, actually reddened by her out-of-control appearance, "I'm sorry, it's late, it's all my fault...... Tongtong, don't cry, okay? What can I do to make you feel better? ”

She sobbed and said, "I want to be alone...... You leave me alone, so I can feel better. ”

Hang Jiabai's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Kiritoro." Those were the last words he spoke.

It was his birthday.

The memory came to an abrupt end, and the man had disappeared into the evening rush hour traffic.
