There were many injured in the car accident, and when Shao Yuanguang left with Bai Shutong in the morning, Shao Zhiqing was still in the operating room and did not come out.

Shao Yuanguang had no choice but to talk to the nurse on duty and took Bai Shutong home.

Early in the morning is the peak of traffic jams in Jiangcheng, and the road out of the People's Hospital is not easy to walk, Shao Yuanguang drove the car slowly on the road, thinking of the back of his father turning around last night, and his mood was a little heavy.

Bai Shutong sat on the side, looking at his preoccupied appearance, and couldn't help but say, "Doctor Shao is really hard, and he has been busy all night. ”

Shao Yuanguang responded absentmindedly, turned around and turned into the path.

When he was with Gao Qi these days, Shao Yuanguang also heard him mention that since Shao Zhiqing was sent to Jiangcheng, he had changed his previous arrogance, not only restrained a lot, but also repented. Especially in recent years, when he has not received news from Shao Yuanguang, Shao Zhiqing is even more low-key and silent in the hospital, and only takes the initiative to ask for help when he is on duty.

"He's a dean who is about to retire from the second line, so there is no need to be so bitter about himself at all, so that you know what it is." Gao Qi said this with some dissatisfaction with Shao Yuanguang, "Shao Yuan is almost sixty years old, if it collapses one day, you will regret it." ”

Shao Yuanguang couldn't help but exhale when he thought of Gao Qi's words, Shao Zhiqing's ascetic-like days were nothing more than atoning for his patients and his identity. And Shao Yuanguang should no longer blame him, after all, Shao Zhiqing is more important to him, and his father's identity is more important-

Shao Yuanguang drove the car to the community where Bai Shutong lived, and when he turned a corner, he saw a car parked downstairs in her house.

Bai Shutong couldn't help but get nervous when he saw the car, and stretched out his hand to pull Shao Yuanguang: "It's over, my dad." ”

Seeing Bai Chongde's car, Bai Shutong couldn't help but worry. Bai Chongde came to look for her early in the morning and found that she had not returned all night, and when he saw her with a man, he would inevitably be angry.

Shao Yuanguang's car stopped steadily, and Bai Shutong hesitated to get out of the car. Bai Chongde also saw it, opened the door and walked out of the car. Not long after, Fang Xian on the other side of the car also came down.

Shao Yuanguang parked the car and happened to see this scene when he came out. He turned his head to look at Bai Shutong, and sure enough, when she saw Fang Xian, her face sank.

Shao Yuanguang approached, stretched out his hand and pulled Bai Shutong's arm, and whispered to her: "Remember what you promised me, talk to your father." ”

Shao Yuanguang's words made Bai Shutong sober up a little, she looked at Fang Xian, then at Shao Yuanguang, and finally nodded.

Bai Chongde frowned and approached, Fang Xian stepped forward first, and was about to ask where Bai Shutong went, Shao Yuanguang opened his mouth to explain first: "Xiaobai was sick last night, and I sent her to the hospital." ”

One sentence resolved Bai Chongde's doubts and avoided Bai Shutong's confrontation with this. Fang Xian was bored, and even more sneered when she heard it, and muttered in a low voice: "Who knows if it's true." ”

Bai Chongde had seen Shao Yuanguang before, and he knew what he was like, so he didn't pay attention to Fang Xian at the moment, and only asked Bai Shutong: "What's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”

Bai Shutong shook his head, waved his hand at Shao Yuanguang, and turned his head into the unit building. Seeing this, Bai Chongde also nodded to Shao Yuanguang and entered the door.

Fang Xian saw that she was about to follow, but before she could go downstairs, she was stopped by Shao Yuanguang.

Shao Yuanguang blocked in front of her and said coldly: "Let their father and daughter have a good chat." ”-

Bai Chongde rarely patronizes Bai Shutong, and after coming in, he inevitably looks restrained, sitting on the sofa like a guest.

Bai Shutong poured him a glass of water, thought about it and sat down beside him.

There was a certain gap between the father and daughter, and it was a little awkward to move once they sat down. Bai Shutong played with his fingers with his head stuffy, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, the distance between father and daughter should not be like this.

Bai Chongde also seemed to be aware of this, and remembered what he said when he saw Shao Yuanguang last time. Perhaps as a father, he has always been not very qualified, even if he is trying to create superior conditions for his daughter, but he has never thought about what Bai Shutong needs.

Bai Chongde picked up the water cup from the coffee table, didn't drink it, looked at his daughter, and smiled: "You look much better recently, it seems that someone is taking care of you." ”

In the past month, Bai Shutong has eaten well and slept well, thanks to Shao Yuanguang's care. Her face flushed and she was silent.

"Last time I went to your school to look for you, you weren't there." Bai Chongde took a sip of water, "I met Teacher Shao." ”

Bai Shutong was taken aback when he heard this, and raised his head to look at his father.

Shao Yuanguang didn't mention this matter to her, and she didn't know what the two talked about.

Bai Chongde smiled: "He taught me a lesson." ”

No wonder Bai Chongde came to look for him today, no wonder Shao Yuanguang knew the stakes and stopped Fang Xian downstairs. Bai Shutong was a little moved in his heart, this qiē may be a gesture for Shao Yuanguang, but this has solved Bai Shutong's urgent need recently. He did this qiē silently, and even her closest grandparents, as well as Cao Feng, had never done these things.

"Tongtong, Dad neglected your feelings before, it's my fault." Bai Chongde frankly admitted his mistake, "I know you don't like Fang Xian, and you shouldn't be forced on you." ”

Fang Xian was hostile to Bai Shutong, but the source of this hostility was also Bai Shutong's avoidance and non-acceptance. When the matter was said, Bai Shutong sighed and whispered, "I just can't forget my mother." ”

Speaking of his deceased wife, Bai Chongde also sighed deeply. "Your mother ......," Bai Chongde said, his feelings couldn't help but be low, and he paused for a while before continuing, "I often think of her. ”

Bai Chongde's words surprised Bai Shutong, she only thought that Bai Chongde had forgotten his mother, and never knew that he had ever thought of her.

Bai Chongde bowed his head and said, "When I miss her, I will go to see my grandparents." ”

My father would go to my grandfather's house once or twice a month, and he never neglected the old man, even if he was busy. Bai Shutong thought he was doing his filial piety at first, but now he knows that he is doing this to express his thoughts on his mother.

Perhaps men's thoughts are not as delicate as women's. She resented her father for not understanding her, but she didn't do her best to understand his father's thoughts.

"Dad...... I ......"

Bai Shutong was a little choked up and wanted to apologize, but was interrupted by Bai Chongde raising his hand: "Tongtong, my father didn't take into account your feelings these days, and he didn't have a good chat with you." He paused for a moment and added, "Don't think Daddy doesn't love you anymore." ”

Seeing that Bai Shutong bit his lip and nodded, Bai Chongde said again: "Whether you accept Fang Xian or not, your choice is respected by your father and will not be forced." ”

The father and daughter chatted for a while, and before they knew it, the psychological distance was closer, and the physical distance seemed to be not so far away.

Bai Chongde drank a glass of water and said goodbye and left, Bai Shutong followed him to the door, thought about it and asked him, "What's my brother's name?" ”

Bai Chongde was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at her, and there was a smile in the corner of his eyes: "Bai Baiwu." He paused for a moment, and then said, "The sycamore of the sycamore." ”

The sycamore is male, the tung is female, and the sycamore tree is male and female, and they depend on each other. The meaning of the name, Bai Shutong understood, and smiled when he thought about it-

After being discharged from the hospital and recuperating for a while, Bai Shutong returned to school for a few days before the summer vacation.

During the summer vacation, Jiangda organized retired teachers to go out of the province to recuperate, the temperature in Jiangcheng was high, which was not suitable for the elderly, and my grandmother saw that my grandfather was almost recovered, so she went to the sanatorium with my grandfather.

As soon as her grandparents left, and Cao Feng was angry recently, she generally stopped taking the initiative to pay attention to her, and Bai Shutong had nothing to do all day.

For the first time in so many years, she was a little reluctant to spend the summer vacation, and what she thought about every day was how to find something to go to school, maybe she could meet Shao Yuanguang.

After a few days, Bai Shutong finally figured out a "shortcut". She spent two or three days polishing the first draft of the paper, deliberately leaving a few fatal mistakes, and secretly sent the article to Shao Yuanguang.

As she expected, Shao Yuanguang quickly replied to the email. Those fatal mistakes naturally couldn't escape Shao Yuanguang's eyes, and in addition, he picked out a few of her other mistakes with a golden eye.

Bai Shutong pretended to be stupid and asked Shao Yuanguang: "Teacher Shao, I don't understand what you said...... I don't think it's clear on the phone......" Bai Shutong listened carefully to Shao Yuanguang's reaction, and said, "Why don't I go to you?" ”

Shao Yuanguang looked at the scorching sun outside the window, thought for a while and said, "I'll go find you." ”

"Good!" Bai Shutong was happy to hear this, thinking about being reserved, so he cleared his throat and asked him, "What do you want to eat at night?" I'll make it for you. ”

Shao Yuanguang smiled, knowing her tricks, but he didn't debunk it, and replied casually: "It's okay, don't bother too much." ”

After hanging up the phone, Shao Yuanguang simply changed his clothes and went to Bai Shutong's house.

He told Bai Shutong not to bother too much because he didn't want her to be too tired, but he didn't think that Bai Shutong had been planning for a long time, and he brought out a cold fruit drink, and cut a full plate of fruit, so that he was a little sorry for his IQ if he didn't break it.

Shao Yuanguang sat at the computer and looked at her and shook his head, stretched out his hand and pulled her to his side: "Sit and change the paper." ”

He ordered generally, Bai Shutong had no choice but to respond, and corrected his mistakes one by one under the guidance of Shao Yuanguang, and when he arrived at the key points, Bai Shutong deliberately delayed the progress, pretending to be stupid and entangled several times.

Shao Yuanguang changed his normal behavior and was quite patient with her, and he would explain it twice if he couldn't explain it clearly, but if he couldn't do it, he would just start from scratch to make up for her theories and methods.

As a result, the revision progress of the paper was inevitably delayed, and it was impossible to change a few paragraphs in an afternoon.

Bai Shutong was quite satisfied with this progress, Shao Yuanguang also felt the need to slow down, seeing that it was not early, he closed the computer and said, "This is the case today, and I will come back tomorrow." ”-

Throughout the summer vacation, Shao Yuanguang went to Bai Shutong's house every afternoon to report, and the two tacitly changed a line or two, and then cooked and ate together, and waited until the evening before Shao Yuanguang packed up his things and left.

The pace of writing this kind of paper was unbearable for Shao Yuanguang before, but now he is willing to do it -- slow has the advantage of being slow.

Gao Qi scoffed at his progress, and urged once they met: "So grinding? When will there be good news? ”

Stretching the front is not indulgent, nor is it deliberately ambiguous, Shao Yuanguang just wants Bai Shutong to be fully prepared.

The revision of the paper is gradually coming to an end, and the summer in Jiangcheng has reached the hottest season. Knock on the last character, and the writing of the paper is over.

Bai Shutong looked at the text throughout the text and breathed a sigh of relief, a little satisfied and a little reluctant.

After completing a dissertation, Shao Yuanguang also felt lost like never before. He glanced at Bai Shutong and asked her, "What are your plans for this article?" ”

After writing the article, she naturally had to submit it, but Bai Shutong didn't think about it so much, the paper was just a tool for her to see Shao Yuanguang every day. She blinked and looked at Shao Yuanguang: "Teacher Shao, I listen to you." ”

"After the start of school, there is an academic conference in Beijing, you can go over and try it and listen to everyone's opinions."

Meeting or something, Bai Shutong didn't have any idea at all, and when he heard that he was not in Jiangcheng, he was even more reluctant to move, wouldn't he not be able to see Shao Yuanguang again after a few days of business trip.

Bai Shutong pursed his lips, and just wanted to refuse, but Shao Yuanguang spoke first: "I'll go with you." ”

The rejection that came to her lips was swallowed back by Bai Shutongsheng, she grinned and lied: "I have long wanted to go to that meeting." ”
