"Little Light."

It's been more than ten years, and no one calls him that anymore, and now when I hear it at first glance, I can't help but feel strange and strange.

Shao Yuanguang didn't turn his head, nor did he respond, but his back was gradually stiffening against Shao Zhiqing. He was not yet determined to face him, to face a man who had helped him establish his ideals, but had destroyed them with his own hands.

Shao Yuanguang did not agree, and the father and son fell into silence, which seemed extremely strange in the crowded hospital corridors.

Shao Zhiqing smiled awkwardly and began to gossip: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?" Shao Zhiqing thought for a while and asked him again, "Have you started a family?" ”

Shao Yuanguang was still silent and refused to answer.

Shao Zhiqing didn't mind, and only said his own: "I've been paying attention to you." I heard that you are very good now, and you are already the youngest doctoral supervisor of Jiang University. Although Shao Yuanguang didn't look at him, Shao Zhiqing still nodded with satisfaction, "You are better than Dad, Dad was ...... at that time."

"Enough!" Shao Yuanguang turned around and shouted at his father's words.

His voice was not small, and his momentum was quite fierce, and the people passing by around him couldn't help but look sideways, and some nurses thought it was a doctor-patient dispute, so they couldn't help but come over and ask: "Dean Shao, is there something wrong?" ”

Shao Zhiqing smiled awkwardly and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay." This dispels the nurse.

The surrounding onlookers dispersed, and Shao Zhiqing called Shao Yuanguang's nickname again. Shao Yuanguang didn't want to hear it, so he interrupted him: "Don't compare me with you in the future!" I've come to this day with a clear conscience every step of the way, unlike you. ”

Shao Yuanguang's eyes were resolute and stubborn, Shao Zhiqing smiled guiltily, and the lines at the end of his eyes deepened a little. He nodded and said, "I know you care about that thing, I'm sorry for you......"

"Me?" Shao Yuanguang couldn't help sneering when he heard this, "I know that you are doing this for me, you want me to study abroad with peace of mind, you don't want me to have worries, you are not sorry for me." Shao Yuanguang said, "You're just sorry for your patients and your students," he paused, stared at the name tag pinned to Shao Zhiqing's chest, and said, "And your identity." ”

Healer, benevolence. This is the most basic criterion as a doctor, although the world is flashy and many people chase fame and fortune, Shao Yuanguang has always been glad that his father is still a benevolent doctor. It wasn't until one day, when he was drunk, that he realized that the qiē he believed in and the qiē he pursued in the past was a dream bubble, and his whole life seemed to be full of unrealistic bubbles.

And the culprit of this qiē is his father, Shao Zhiqing.

More than ten years have passed, and the dust has settled, and no matter how much you say, it will not help.

After a long silence, Shao Yuanguang looked at his father and said goodbye detachedly: "I still have something." ”

He didn't say goodbye, let alone nostalgia, and turned around and left directly, without the excitement that he hadn't seen for more than ten years, and the favor of blood thicker than water. Shao Zhiqing looked at his indifferent back and sighed leisurely, at this time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, it was an emergency notice from the ICU (intensive care unit), Shao Zhiqing hung up the phone, and also did not linger, leaving in the opposite direction of Shao Yuanguang-

In Jiangcheng in May, the temperature has risen sharply, and the air is filled with a humid smell, which makes people feel particularly depressed.

Shao Yuanguang walked down from the stairwell, wanting to go to the toll office to find Bai Shutong, and when he walked to the middle of the floor, he felt that his chest was depressed and unbearable.

In the gloomy stairwell, Shao Yuanguang was desperate to find the light, and he looked up and saw a small skylight on the wall above him. The skylights are high and small, and because they are unattended from the ground, the glass of the windows has been covered with a thick layer of dust, and there is almost no light to penetrate.

Shao Yuanguang looked at the window and exhaled deeply.

Behind him, the iron door of the stairwell was opened, and Gao Qi probed out and saw Shao Yuanguang in the corner.

"You're really here." Gao Qi came down from upstairs and walked to Shao Yuanguang's side, "I arranged a high-level ward for your friend's relatives." Gao Qi said without forgetting to add, "This is Shao Yuan's face." ”

Gao Qi didn't take credit, and wanted to ease the relationship between Shao Yuanguang's father and son, but Shao Yuanguang didn't appreciate it when he heard it, and only said: "I didn't ask him, I only asked you." ”

As the saying goes, if there is a father, there must be a son, Gao Qi can be regarded as understanding the essence of this sentence, the father is stubborn, and the son is naturally not inferior. Gao Qi shrugged, took out a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his white coat, and in the dark corridor, he "clicked" to light the cigarette.

The light flashed and went out, reflecting Shao Yuanguang's eyes.

Shao Yuanguang looked at the flickering fire in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Gao Qi was stunned for a moment, subconsciously touched the cigarette case in his pocket, hesitated for a moment, smoked a cigarette and handed it to Shao Yuanguang.

"Click", the firelight burst out, Shao Yuanguang's eyes lit up, and he slowly approached with a cigarette between his fingers.

As he got closer, half of his face was red by the firelight. At the junction of light and darkness, his expression seemed unpredictable.

Gao Qi looked hesitant and wanted to take back the lighter, but Shao Yuanguang grabbed his hand and stabilized the firelight.

His movement of lighting a cigarette was rather rusty, and his fingers holding the cigarette were stiff. The light on the tip of the cigarette shimmered with his breath, flickering and dimming.

Gauge looked at him, his thumb raised, and extinguished the flame.

The fire was extinguished, and darkness returned to the stairwell, except for the two fires under the walls.

Shao Yuanguang slowly took a few puffs, the smell of smoke was strong, he couldn't help choking, and coughed in a low voice. Even though he coughed, he didn't stop, just wanted to see some light, and put the cigarette to his mouth again.

Seeing this, Gao Qi hurriedly snatched the cigarette, "I won't smoke, don't smoke." As he spoke, Shao Yuanguang glanced at him in the dark, "Waste my cigarettes." ”

Gao Qi extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray next to him, and the speckled fire disappeared completely.

Shao Yuanguang looked at it and sighed, "If it weren't for that, I might be like you now, working as a doctor in the hospital, so busy every day that I don't have time to eat and rest in order to treat patients, so I can only rely on smoking to refresh myself and fill my stomach." ”

For the first time in these years, Gao Qi heard Shao Yuanguang talk about this matter, even if they were far away in England at the time of the incident, Shao Yuanguang didn't say a word about it.

"It's just that I chose to run away from it." Shao Yuanguang said and smiled, in the dark corridor, his smile looked quite helpless, "At that time, I really couldn't think of how I could face him except to escape." ”

Once the belief was destroyed, there was no courage to rebuild, so he chose to flee from the old people and things, escape from the original environment, and start anew.

Gao Qi is not a party to that incident, but because he is a student of Shao Zhiqing, he also knows some hidden secrets. He understood Shao Yuanguang's admiration and admiration for Shao Zhiqing at that time, and also understood Shao Yuanguang's mood when the idol collapsed. It's just that idols return to idols, and fathers return to fathers, which should be two different things.

"Chris, I know you've always been serious, but there are things that really don't need to be so harsh. A father is a father, and you can't expect him to meet your requirements in all aspects. Gao Qi extinguished the cigarette butt, and the light in the corridor dimmed a little, "If you let go of others, you also let go of yourself." ”

Shao Yuanguang didn't want to let himself go, but he was born with the ability to compromise, even if he wanted to retreat, he couldn't take a step back.

After smoking a cigarette, Gao Qi glanced at his phone, there was no urgent news on the ward, and he still had time to rest. He patted Shao Yuanguang on the shoulder and beckoned him: "You come with me." ”-

Gao Qi pulled Shao Yuanguang to the obstetrics department, because they were two men of the same age, others couldn't help but look sideways, covered their mouths and whispered.

"What are you bringing me here for?"

Shao Yuanguang wanted to get rid of Gao Qi, but Gao Qi still pulled him forward, and said disgusted as he walked: "You think I am willing!" ”

Gao Qi pulled Shao Yuanguang to the nursery room, he stopped, pointed to the little babies in the incubator in the glass room, motioned Shao Yuanguang to look, and asked him: "Look at it, is it cute?" ”

Shao Yuanguang looked in the direction of Gao Qi's finger, there were newborn babies in the incubator, all pink and tender, some fell asleep with their mouths pouted, and some waved their little hands and feet, no matter which one they were, they looked extremely cute.

He was silent for a moment, Gao Qi turned his head to look at him, leaned against the glass wall, and looked at the new parents who came and went behind him: "Look at them, every pair of parents here is facing a change, a change of role. ”

Shao Yuanguang was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at the person behind him.

There is no shortage of people here who are in a hurry, and there are also people who are apprehensive. But no matter what, there is no hope and longing behind their different expressions, and as Gauci says, they are all facing a change of role, from someone else's child to a child's parent, and their lives have been extended for this reason, and their lives will become more purposeful in the future.

"Chris, you'll understand when you become a father." "Parents, they don't think about their children in other ways, they're all selfish, but they're all selfless. Gauge said, and the cell phone in his pocket rang. He didn't even look at it, and directly patted Shao Yuanguang's shoulder, "Think about it." ”

Gao Qi's meaning, Shao Yuanguang did not understand. As a father, Shao Zhiqing did his best to provide him with the best conditions, and he deserved to be an excellent father. However, when there is a conflict of identity, should he choose this way of being selfish to others and selfless to Shao Yuanguang?

Shao Zhiqing's "selflessness" made Shao Yuanguang embarrassed, and he didn't have the courage to face the once one.

Shao Yuanguang came out of the obstetrics department and stood in the stairwell waiting for the elevator, when the voice of a young woman on the phone suddenly came from his ears.

"For the sake of my son, I don't dare anything!" The woman's voice was a little excited, and she couldn't help but provoke Shao Yuanguang to look sideways slightly.

It was a young woman, although it was a postpartum appearance, but she couldn't hide the immaturity in her expression. Zuo is only twenty-six or seventeen years old, which is a young mother.

The woman leaned against the window and talked on the phone, but she didn't notice Shao Yuanguang's appearance, and her voice still didn't control: "I just gave birth to a son for him, and he is like this!" 100,000 is not a small amount, he didn't discuss it with me, he just called his daughter! The more the woman spoke, the more she felt aggrieved, and she couldn't help but sobbed in a low voice.

I don't know what was said on the other side of the phone, the young woman answered a few times, stopped crying, and changed her resolute tone: "Mom, don't worry, I won't indulge her." I used to be alone, and I could bear how much she messed around. But now that I have a child, I can't let him suffer. The woman paused, as if she had made up her mind, "If she dares to disturb us again, I am not afraid to tear my face." I don't believe it, sons and daughters, Lao Bai doesn't choose sons! ”

The woman's voice fell, and the elevator door opened.

Shao Yuanguang walked in and glanced at the young woman again before the elevator closed.

Gauge is right, it is human nature to protect offspring, no matter how old or young, but as a parent, the ability to protect in nature is stimulated.

Perhaps, in Shao Zhiqing's matter, is he really too stubborn?
