24.Chapter 24
Halfway through the party, Hang Jiabai went out to answer a phone call, it was Shu Xiaoyu who called, and he was hesitant for a long time, first he kept thanking him, and then he was silent for a while, and began to talk nonsense.
"Shu Xiaoyu, have you been drinking?"
"Yes, otherwise how dare I call you......" The girl on the other end of the phone was obviously bolder than usual, "Can you pick me up?" I'm here on the 10th Road. ”
Hang Jiabai naturally didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, and rejected the other party bluntly: "I'm sorry, I'm not free, I'll hang up first if there's nothing to do." ”
"Something!" Shu Xiaoyu shouted, adjusted his breathing again, and plucked up the courage to say solemnly, "Teacher Hang, I like you, I like you very much from the first time I saw you." ”
"You've drunk too much and need to sober up." Hang Jiabai was about to hang up the phone, when he heard a sentence from the phone that was not light or serious, which just floated into his ears.
"If I had met you earlier, would you have ......"
"No, it won't."
He hung up the phone without hesitation, and then called Xiao Zhang, who had a good relationship with Shu Xiaoyu, and asked her to find a few classmates to pick up Shu Xiaoyu back to the dormitory.
Hanging up the phone again, Hang Jiabai didn't go back to the box as soon as possible, leaned against the wall outside the door, and sent a message to Ji Tong: "I miss you so much suddenly." ”
He really missed her, and at the end of the day, he saw a lot of noisy scenes, and he couldn't help but feel a little tired. Fortunately, I can still think about her and use missing her as motivation to continue.
How do you know that the other party is not serious, and replied to him with lyrics: "Where will you be?" ”
He looked at the screen of his phone and laughed, and his mood naturally brightened.
**
Hang Jiabai was about to go back to the box, when he met Xiao Yao, who had just returned from going to the toilet.
"Look at you, it's no different from when you first fell in love." Dr. Yao stood beside him and deliberately chatted with him, "How is it, is Xiao Ji okay?" ”
"It's good." Hangjiabai replied, "Thank you for your concern." ”
Doctor Yao patted him and said softly, "You're welcome, Xiao Ji is a good girl, you just treat others well." ”
"Of course." There was a hint of pride in his smile.
After a brief pleasantry, Dr. Yao suddenly asked, "Is she in good health now?" ”
Hang Jiabai was a little dazed: "It's good, what's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, didn't I faint with stomach pain before, I saw her in the hospital."
Hang Jiabai frowned and said, "Fainted? When? ”
"Many years ago, when we were both interns." Dr. Yao said, "Why, you forgot? ”
Actually, it's not that he forgot, it's that he didn't know about it at all. During the internship, I was often busy, and I really didn't care about her for a while. Hang Jiabai remembered that Ji Tong said that he was not feeling well, but he didn't mention fainting and going to the hospital.
"She curled up alone on a bench in the hallway outside the examination room, looking strangely pitiful." Doctor Yao smiled helplessly, "I went up to greet her and asked her why you didn't come to accompany her, and she said that you were busy with the rotation assessment and didn't bother you." Actually, Xiao Ji is this girl...... I always love to bully you, but people are really knowledgeable. ”
No wonder Xiaoyao often says good things about Ji Tong, it turns out that there is such a small episode.
Hang Jiabai suddenly questioned his past self, and began to gradually fall into introspection. Everyone always praises him for how good he is to his girlfriend, but these superficial phenomena are not enough to sum up a complete relationship. There are so many missed details about her past, which are independent of obvious value judgments such as "who is right and who is wrong".
I want to apologize and make amends, but these can't make up for the absence at that moment after all. In addition to doubling down on her kindness, Hang Jiabai couldn't think of a better way at this moment.
The single night attended by a group of doctors was not destined to go anywhere, and someone was called away halfway, and one or two wives went home early to accompany their wives. The remaining few have to attend the wedding tomorrow, and they also omit extra greetings before parting, and they each set out on their way home.
Hang Jiabai called Ji Tong, who was lying on the bed with a mask. Picking up the phone, Ji Tong immediately sat up and asked anxiously: "I actually swiped you on Weibo just now!" Why is your hospital so horrible?! ”
"What Weibo?"
"The incident of AIDS patients attacking medical staff in Zhongcheng Hospital, this topic is already in the hot search!" Ji Tong moved the notebook to his lap and continued to refresh the page, "Ah, someone also uploaded a video, many people begged your Weibo in the comments, I'll click on it and take a look." ”
Hang Jiabai changed his hand to hold the mobile phone, opened the car door and sat down, and sighed lightly: "That person doesn't have AIDS, he is a scare." Afterwards, we checked his medical records, and I don't know why, he came to test for HIV twice in three days, but the results were negative. Most AIDS patients are quite normal, and by doing so, he is discrediting people. ”
Ji Tong's mouth opened wide in surprise, and his mask was about to fall off, "What about such a strange person?!" ”
Hang Jiabai calmly analyzed: "Maybe life is a little chaotic, so I don't know the bottom of my heart, I always feel that I want to get sick, this kind of person is not uncommon in the hospital." ”
"Ahh Ji Tong on the other end of the phone exclaimed again.
"What's wrong?"
"It's that female classmate of yours......" She was watching the video intently, and when she saw that Shu Xiaoyu threw herself into Hang Jiabai's arms at the end, the video stopped abruptly, and Ji Tong was silent.
Hang Jiabai expected it, smiled and rushed in front of her and asked, "What did you see that made you angry?" ”
The other party snorted coldly: "You also know that it will make me angry......"
He smiled and explained to her: "Tongtong, I'm not right about things, it's the same for whoever the other party is." ”
"I know, I'm kidding you." Ji Tong muttered quietly, "Actually, I just think that being a doctor is too dangerous, and I never realized it before." ”
"It's okay, it doesn't happen often." He put on his headphones, left the underground garage, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, let me tell you a funny thing, last year, the dean invited the instructors of the armed police force to come to the hospital to hold a training class, and this year it seems that he plans to open a taekwondo class." ”
"Hahaha......" Ji Tong took off the mask and laughed: "Do you still want to practice martial arts when you are a doctor now?" ”
"yes, it's a strange world." Hang Jiabai chuckled, "Since I studied medicine, I have often encountered things that have opened my eyes. ”
"Then you have to learn how to defend yourself, this kind of thing is really dangerous." After laughing enough, Ji Tong took the time to reveal it, "Actually, in today's situation, I don't want you to go up in my heart." I don't have a great mind like you, I just know that if you have any strengths and weaknesses, I will definitely not be able to stand it. ”
The car slowly drove into the thick night, and as far as the eye could see, the dappled neon lights spread out in three stacks and four directions. The corners of Hang Jiabai's lips gradually rose, and he opened his lips and wanted to respond, but when the words came to his mouth, it became a short "um" word.
As a doctor, he was often ambivalent. He loves animals and flowers, and the meaning of life has a new annotation for him. He knows that life is fragile, and he always tries his best to save everyone, but it is inevitable that he will not be able to do so.
At this moment, Ji Tong's words lingered in Hang Jiabai's heart for a long time, and he knew that he was just a mortal with the naked eye, the most ordinary one in the world. What he really wants may be nothing more than the warmth of a limited life. But he really didn't dare to make any guarantees to her, for fear that once he said it, it might become even more harmful one day in the future. This is probably a common difficulty for every doctor, expecting all the good results, but not being able to package the ticket to anyone.
**
On the day of Zhou Qing's wedding, Ji Tong met many of Hang Jiabai's classmates again, and sat at a table with them and chatted for a while, it turned out that everyone still remembered her. In order to take care of Ji Tong alone, everyone specially found a lot of topics that she could talk about, instead of discussing some viruses and germs, large intestine and small intestine or something.
Hang Jiabai is the best man today, and he has been busy since he picked up the bride in the morning. By the time of the official wedding in the evening, I was almost dizzy. He was dressed today in a formal suit with a simple white shirt underneath, which he rarely wore as such, but which suited his tall figure well. Many people jokingly said that Zhou Qing's courage was commendable, and he dared to find Hang Jiabai as the best man, stealing the limelight from his groom.
Ji Tong was no longer surprised by the wedding scene, and was even a little numb.
But today's situation is different, Hang Jiabai is there, like a spotlight turned on in her field of vision. As long as she raised her eyes, she could always see him in the crowd, following the group to toast table by table. When she got to the table next to them, she happened to see Hang Jiabai's smiling eyes looking at her. The lively wedding scene seemed to be suddenly muted.
So Hang Jiabai saw Ji Tong holding his head, covering the sight of the people next to him, and made a mouth gesture at him - drink less.
She knew he could understand it, and only he could understand it.
Hang Jiabai understood, nodded and silently replied, which were the three words that he cherished and rarely spoke.
"I love you."
In the brilliance of the scene, Ji Tong's face was reflected red, and only the gentle smile was left in his dark pupils.
Later, the toasting team came to the table of classmates, and everyone couldn't help but want to make trouble with Zhou Qing, but in the end it was always Hang Jiabai who was unlucky. In fact, he drinks okay, but he doesn't usually like to drink much. After so many tables, when I drank so much that my head hurt and my consciousness was not very clear, I still had words in my mouth, and I was seriously popularizing the dangers of alcohol to the liver.
The others couldn't cry or laugh when they saw this: "Xiao Ji, it's hard for you, as soon as he drinks too much, he starts to memorize medical dictionaries, which is very annoying." ”
The words of the old classmates amused Ji Tong, in fact, she remembered that Hang Jiabai was quite quiet when she was drunk before, at most she frowned and whispered dizziness, and then fell asleep in her arms.
By the end of the wedding, most of the tables were empty, and it was like the end of the song. Ji Tong stayed with them until the end, said hello to Xiao Xuan and the others, and sent them to leave first. When she returned to the hotel lobby again, Hang Jiabai was called away by a friend, Zhou Qing was talking to her family, and stopped her as soon as she saw Ji Tong.
"Ji Tong, thank you and your colleagues for your help today."
"I didn't help much, I just ate." Ji Tong shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself.
Zhou Qing smiled again: "I had a bad attitude towards you before, didn't you get angry with me?" ”
She smiled calmly, "How can I be so stingy? ”
Zhou Qing said helplessly: "Alas, you are not stingy, but Hang Jiabai is stingy." He's already criticized me, and I'm not allowed to talk nonsense with you anymore. I thought about it, it's true that I'm not good, in fact, it's not suitable for two people to be together, and what others say doesn't count. I can tell that he is really happy with you and has a smile more than ever. Thank you, Ji Tong, thank you very much. ”
Ji Tong smiled and said no, quietly took him aside, and asked softly, "That...... Can you tell me now, how did Hang Jiabai's hand hurt? ”
Zhou Qing looked at Ji Tong's slightly raised left hand, and asked in surprise: "Didn't he tell you?" ”
"It's a bit vague and I don't understand it."
"Haha, it's his style." Zhou Qing smiled, lowered his eyes and looked at Ji Tong again, "He doesn't want you to worry." ”
Ji Tong couldn't help but ask: "Is it very strict?" ”
"I don't know, he won't show me the diagnosis report, so I'm not sure if I hurt any important nerves, and I'm fine now." Zhou Qing responded with a helpless look, "But during that time, he did have the idea of changing careers." ”
"That'...... How the hell did he get hurt? ”
"I heard that it was my own carelessness and I was injured by a scalpel, a very low-level mistake, and no one believed that Hang Jiabai would do this." Zhou Qing clasped his hands around his chest and said firmly, "But I think it should have something to do with your breakup." ”
Ji Tong pondered for a moment, and before he could respond, he heard Zhou Qing's voice slowly whispering in his ear: "After you left, Jia Bai seemed to have changed as a person, and he was in a trance all day long. So after the injury, he and the director proposed that his state was not suitable for being a doctor, for fear of harming people. Later, he decided to go abroad, and he went for three years. But I'm glad he didn't give up, and honestly, he was born to be a doctor, right? ”
Her smile grew bitter, and she saw Hang Jiabai looking up from the crowd and smiling at her.
It turns out that some people's lives begin to change rapidly after turning around.
But these things, maybe she will not know until a long, long time later.
Or if you're not careful, you'll never know about it again in your life.
