As a doctor, Lin Li built from the bottom of his heart to accept the expert's treatment plan, but as a friend, he was a little unbearable.

After several ideological struggles, she said: "I have recently studied a lot of clinical treatment methods after knee prosthesis infection, or I should communicate with experts to see if I can adjust the treatment plan for other treatments." ”

Ji Yunchong's voice rose slightly: "What plan?" ”

"Knee fusion plate fixation surgery. This surgery is suitable for patients who have failed joint replacement surgery, and can preserve the patient's ability to walk, but ......" Lin Li wanted to stop talking.

"It's okay, it's okay for you to just say it."

"The surgery will cause the patient to have a contracture deformity of different course dù. To put it simply, your knee becomes a stiff joint and cannot be bent; Your right limb will also be shorter than your left limb due to sawing off some of the bones, which will inevitably affect the balance of your body. You are still young and the chairman of Dongsheng Group, and these 'distortions' in appearance will have a negative impact on your image. ”

Lin Fei paused: "There are also risks associated with this operation. For example, the visible bone may cause damage to the popliteal fossa nerve behind the knee, and the common peroneal nerve may also be compressed when the lateral collateral ligament of the knee is severed. Once these accidental injuries occur, the lower leg extensor muscles are paralyzed, and you suffer no less than amputation. ”

"In addition, some research data show that the most common complications after knee fusion are fusion failure and recurrence of infection. If you get infected again, you can only ......," Lin Li stopped.

Ji Yunchong said: "Can only amputate? ”

She calmed her breath and nodded.

The hope that had just risen was instantly shattered, and Ji Yunchong smiled bitterly: "In other words, I will either become disabled or disabled, all by luck?" ”

Lin Li's lips twitched a few times, and he was speechless.

He sighed tiredly, turned his head, and looked out the car window in distraction.

The rain was pouring down. The sky was overcast, as if it had faded and only dimmed.

*

When the car arrived at the townhouse under Ji Yunchong's name, he said lightly, "I want to be quiet for a while", and locked himself in the study.

The villa was very large and empty and there was no third person. Lin Li waited and waited until the stars filled the sky and Ji Yunchong walked out of the room, so he went to the supermarket to buy some money and came back to prepare dinner.

She brought dinner to her study while it was hot.

The door to the study was still closed, and she carefully held the plate with one hand, and with the other hand ready to knock, the door opened from the inside.

Ji Yunchong glanced at the things in Lin Li's hand: "I'm not hungry." ”

"You haven't eaten for a day, how can you not be hungry." Lin Li said as he walked into the study, put the dinner plate on the corner table, pulled out the chair, "Come and sit." ”

Ji Yunchong couldn't resist her, and sat opposite her, lifting his chopsticks with expectant eyes, hesitating for a while between the sumptuous dishes, and didn't hold anything - the dinner was nutritious and reasonable, but it didn't suit his appetite.

"Black soy milk is rich in anthocyanins, and wild salmon contains unsaturated fatty acids, both of which can relieve inflammation in your right knee. Broccoli helps maintain bone density, and kale repairs ligaments, which are all good foods for joints. ”

Ji Yunchong had no appetite after hearing this.

He put down his chopsticks: "I have something to say to you, actually-"

He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word for a long time, but Lin Li spoke first, which was exactly the same as his previous remarks: "It's okay, it's okay for you to say it directly." ”

Ji Yunchong's face was ashamed, and his tone revealed a little subtlety: "I don't want you to think I'm despicable, but I have to admit that I still have selfish intentions, and I hope you will change your mind." When I think of the empty appearance below the thigh after the amputation, and the deformity of my right limb after arthrodesis, my heart is suddenly filled with a sense of powerlessness, it is difficult to face such an ugly self, and I am even more worried that you will dislike me because of it. ”

Ji Yunchong didn't say any more, and Lin Li also fell into thought.

After being quiet for a while, she spoke first: "Putting aside the emotional factor, in my heart, you are one in a hundred elites." This has nothing to do with your flaunting family background and handsome appearance, but because you are a humble, gentle, condescending person, and at the same time striving for the top. ”

"I understand your concern, whether it's amputation or arthrodesis, it's a destructive operation. Clinical medicine divides the mentality of patients who have undergone this type of surgery into four different periods: numbness, depression, recognition, and adaptation. Some people may indulge in negative feelings all their lives and cannot get out of the psychological shadow, while others quickly eliminate their inferiority complex and return to normal social life. ”

Lin Li said this, hesitated again and again, and made up his mind to make a promise: "No matter how long the next four stages are, I will accompany you through it and provide you with professional medical help until you are physically and mentally healed." ”

Ji Yunchong stared at her, and when he spoke again, his voice revealed a dullness that he himself was not aware of: "Will you always be with me?" ”

It's not that she didn't hear the overtones, but in this situation, she could only say it without leaking: "Of course, as long as you don't think I'm a quack, I will take good care of you." ”

When Ji Yunchong heard such an answer, he was silent for a long time.

She wanted to accompany him as a doctor and friend, but he wanted to reunite with her......

Ji Yunchong pressed his painful eyebrows with his hand: "There is no basis for what I say, I don't believe it." ”

He held out his tail finger: "Unless you pull the hook." ”

The childish actions and complicated tone made Lin Li hesitate for two or three seconds, and stretched out his finger to wrap around him.

The last finger hooks the last finger, which is both a promise and an agreement.

At this moment, something was touched in his heart, what seemed to be a long-lost, intimate attachment. He was reluctant to let go of her fingers, grabbed her slender wrist and clasped it firmly in his palm.

The disadvantage of growing up together since childhood is that some charming thoughts are too late to hide, and the other party already knows everything.

Lin Li added unexpectedly: "Of course, you should also follow the doctor's instructions and fully cooperate with me." ”

Ji Yunchong was a little dazed, his eyes wandered around her face, and then he understood.

He spread his hand, lifted his chopsticks, and cooperatively ate all the nutritious dinner she cooked.

She then handed over the jasmine tea. He pursed his eyes and tasted tea, and the mist of water curled up, hazy his clear face.

After tasting the tea, he asked, "Can I think about it for a few days before deciding on the final treatment plan?" ”

"Yes."

"Can you walk around with me these days? Once I have surgery, I will be in a hospital bed for a long time and will not be able to go anywhere. ”

"I regret to tell you that from 3 days before the operation, you must disinfect all your right limbs with iodophor, 2 times a day, which means that you can't go anywhere except at home."

Ji Yunchong: "......"

Seeing his depressed and depressed face, Lin Li said: "If you can go to bed early and get up early, I can accompany you for a walk around the area, which can be regarded as a good fit." ”

Ji Yunchong's eyes bloomed with a happy smile: "It can be done, of course it can be done." ”

In this way, for the next few days, she and he arranged their days according to the schedule of health science: both faint and dawn, light diet, moderate exercise, and a simple and calm slow-paced life.

Until one evening, as the two walked past Munich's municipal square, they saw street artists sitting at the piano playing music. The light melody of sixteenth notes grabbed Lin Li's ears and made her pause and listen intently.

Ji Yunchong observed her expression, waited until the end of the whole song, and walked towards the artist.

Lin Li was surprised to see Ji Yunchong talking to the artist, the latter got up, and Ji Yunchong sat on the piano bench instead.

His dark eyes met her for a few seconds without blinking, and then he put his hands on the keys.

A representative piece of German Romantic music was played.

In the gorgeous and melodious movement, Lin Li later remembered that this was the melody that Ji Yunchong played when he proposed to her, and at that time he recited an extremely romantic love poem: Goethe's "Lovers by Your Side".

I miss you, when the sun's rays shine on me from the sea.

I miss you, when the light of the moon sparkles in the spring water.

I see you when the strange road is dusty.

I hear you, when the rushing waves make a dull sound.

Although you are far away from me, you are by my side, and I am by your side!

Lin Li looked at Ji Yunchong with a daze, and remembered the bits and pieces of his trip to Munich at the end of last year - the suitcase that was mistransported, the enviable student couple, and the Mason city trip that failed to make it - suddenly, a thought invaded his mind silently like a ghost.

If Xiao Huai wasn't so busy, if she hadn't rejected Xiao Huai thousands of miles away from the beginning, what would it be like for the two of them to take the time to walk around Munich?

Such thoughts sparked boundless reverie. Lin Li thought about it, and suddenly the ground, his eyes reddened.

It's not for no reason, it's not an inexplicable ups and downs, she thought she had forgotten Xiao Huai, but her feelings for Xiao Huai were still deep and distinct.

The "fiancé" is back, but she is thinking about the good friend of the "fiancé". If you talk about such a crush, you will be laughed at by netizens who don't know the truth.

Why would she rather be laughed at than let go of Xiao Huai?

Is it because you can't get it, so you can't forget it, or because you have experienced so many ups and downs, and finally met a man who is heartbeat, you will be particularly reluctant to give up?

Fate plays tricks on people. Why did so many karmic coincidences happen to make her experience the bitter taste of her lover's absence again and again?

Lin Li stared at Ji Yunchong, and when the song ended, she blinked her eyelashes slightly, and tears came out of her eyes.

Grandma said that anyone who meets someone surnamed Xiao will not associate with him.

Those who have not experienced it will never understand what kind of regret this sentence means.

*

As the sun set, Ji Yunchong and Lin Li walked side by side on the bustling streets.

"Mumu, did you shed tears just now?"

“……”

"Why are you crying? Is it because we are reminded of our past? ”

Lin Li stopped and tilted his head sideways to look at Ji Yunchong.

At this moment, the sunset has entered the clouds, and the golden light is shining on the body, and the residual temperature is still there, with a slight coldness. He turned his back to the sunset, against the light, his expression was hazy, but the whole person revealed a kind of perseverance that washed away the lead and returned to his original intention.

Lin Li was distracted for a moment. Amorous is always ruthlessly suffering, and whoever likes it a little more often withdraws more slowly.

Ji Yunchong also stopped at this time, his voice was light and deep: "I have decided." ”

"What?"

"I want to walk around with you with my legs, now and in the future, so I decided to give myself a chance to undergo knee fusion surgery."

He was quiet for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, his deep voice suppressed all the noise around him: "Mumu, thank you for being by my side." I've slept soundly these days, and I've never dreamed of you leaving, chasing you from bed to bedroom door barefoot. ”

She was surprisingly silent, and after a while slowly raised her hand. At the same time, he obediently bent his face and let the beloved woman pat her on the head.

"Fool." She said.
