Shao Yuanguang went downstairs with Bai Shutong in his arms and ran all the way to the road.

In the evening, Jiangcheng's taxi was changing shifts, and there were few cars willing to carry passengers, and Shao Yuanguang was still holding a person in his arms, and taxis who were willing to make trouble were even rarer.

Shao Yuanguang discovered for the first time that living in Jiangcheng, even if there is a line between school and home, it is extremely necessary to have a car.

At the moment, he had no choice but to carry Bai Shutong all the way to the hospital, and after a short time, his arms were sore and sweaty.

Bai Shutong nestled in Shao Yuanguang's arms, holding the clothes on his chest tightly in his hands, as if grasping the straw that saved his life.

Shao Yuanguang couldn't help but comfort her in a low voice: "Xiaobai, don't be afraid. ”

This kind of comfort seemed to work with Bai Shutong, she bit her lip, responded sullenly, and shrank into Shao Yuanguang's arms.

Shao Yuanguang gritted his teeth when he saw this, hugged Bai Shutong a little tighter, and struggled to run in the direction of the hospital-

Fortunately, Jiangcheng University is not too far from the People's Hospital, and when Shao Yuanguang carried Bai Shutong to the hospital, Gao Qi was already downstairs ready to receive it.

After the film-taking examination, Gao Qi patted Shao Yuanguang on the shoulder and teased: "You are okay, the basic skills are not wasted, and the diagnosis of appendicitis is good." Gao Qi said, and smiled at Bai Shutong again, "Get ready, and operate in a while." ”

Hearing the word "surgery", Bai Shutong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Shao Yuanguang's clothes.

Shao Yuanguang knew that she was afraid in her heart, and comforted: "Minor surgery, the technology is very mature, rest assured." ”

Even if the technology is mature, it is always cautious to make a hole in the stomach. Bai Shutong timidly asked him: "Teacher Shao, can you not have surgery...... Is it okay to take medicine? I'm afraid...... I'm afraid of scarring......"

The word "scar" Bai Shutong's voice was very small, but it was still heard by Gao Qi.

Not afraid of pain but afraid of scars? Gao Qi smiled: "Laparoscopic surgery, the trauma surface is very small, and there will be no scars." He said and winked at Shao Yuanguang, and then looked at Bai Shutong, "Doctor Gao gave you the main surgery, you still can't trust me?" ”

Shao Yuanguang ignored Gao Qi's small movements, and was very dissatisfied with his communication method of only caring about nonsense and not talking about his condition. Shao Yuanguang ignored him, and talked to Bai Shutong about the surgical principle of appendicitis, and comforted her: "The appendix is a useless organ, and cutting it off will not affect life." ”

Gao Qi also echoed: "You just think so, if you have an appendix, you can still be lighter." As he spoke, he glanced at Shao Yuanguang's sweat-soaked clothes, and said with a smile, "In the future, when you Teacher Shao hugs you, you can save some body." ”

When Gao Qi said this, Bai Shutong couldn't help but glance at Shao Yuanguang. The short-sleeved T-shirt on his body was already drenched, and not only that, but the tips of his hair were wet, and even beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead.

Bai Shutong felt a little guilty, and the hand that Shao Yuanguang's clothes were holding tightly gradually loosened.

She withdrew her hand and put it on her lap, but Shao Yuanguang's hand suddenly covered it. He patted the back of her hand gently, and finally added a touching sentence at the end of the rational analysis of the condition: "Don't worry, I'm guarding outside, waiting for you to come out." ”-

Bai Shutong followed Gao Qi into the operating room, and the lights in the operating room turned on after a while.

Shao Yuanguang sat outside the operating room, looked up at the light on the door beam, and couldn't help but exhale.

Shao Zhiqing is a surgeon, Shao Yuanguang has been exposed to such scenes since he was a child. It's just that what he didn't expect was that for so many years, the operation that made him so nervous and worried was an appendicitis operation with extremely mature technology.

Bai Shutong's operation lasted for half an hour, and Shao Yuanguang was a little restless. He was hovering at the door of the operating room when his cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

The call was made by Tao Min, and when he saw the caller ID, Shao Yuanguang remembered that he had an appointment with Tao Min tonight.

"Where? Elder Yan and I are waiting for you. Tao Min answered the phone and teased Shao Yuanguang.

Yan Shiqing is a leader in the domestic psychology field, and he is also Shao Yuanguang's colleague when he was at B University, and he also has a lot of kindness to Shao Yuanguang. Tao Min didn't see it, but this time Yan Shiqing also came to Jiangcheng, and Shao Yuanguang was not good at slacking.

He glanced at the light on the door of the operating room, hesitated, and said, "There is a bit of an emergency tonight, so I can't go." ”

Unforeseen? Tao Min couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it. For Shao Yuanguang, everything is under control, and there are very few things that he calls emergencies.

Tao Min asked curiously, and then heard Shao Yuanguang say in a secret: "I'm in the hospital, there is something wrong, and I really can't leave." ”

Not long after I hung up the phone, the lights in the operating room went out.

Gao Qi came out first to report Shao Yuanguang's safety, and Bai Shutong was then pushed out by the nurse.

Her anesthetic had not yet subsided, she was thin and weak, lying there motionless, looking petite and pitiful. Shao Yuanguang looked at his heart and asked Gao Qi: "When will the anesthetic be withdrawn?" When will she wake up? ”

Gao Qi looked at Shao Yuanguang's anxious and nervous appearance, smiled in his heart, but said seriously: "It takes about two hours to do general anesthesia." As he spoke, he looked at Shao Yuanguang again and asked him, "She has to be accompanied by someone tonight." How? Do you accompany the bed? ”

The letter of information before the operation was signed by Bai Shutong himself, and Shao Yuanguang was stopped by Bai Shutong when he wanted to call her family. Maybe at this time, she doesn't want to face the reality yet, and she doesn't want her grandparents to worry about her.

Shao Yuanguang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll accompany her." ”-

Bai Shutong was transferred to the ward, and his signs were normal, and Shao Yuanguang felt a little more steady. Gao Qi looked over and patted him on the shoulder and asked him, "What about the non-eating, right?" Let's go, go get some food. ”

After relaxing, Shao Yuanguang remembered that not only did he not eat dinner, but he also missed lunch. He glanced at Bai Shutong and thought of his promise before she entered the operating room.

Shao Yuanguang shook his head: "You go, I won't eat, I'll wait for her to wake up." ”

Gao Qi looked at him and rolled his eyes, and exclaimed, "The anesthetic will be subsided for at least an hour." With that, he forcibly pulled Shao Yuanguang to the cafeteria.

Even when he arrived at the cafeteria, Shao Yuanguang didn't have the heart to eat, and quickly ate two bites and returned to the ward.

The ward was a double room, and the other patient was a middle-aged aunt in her fifties and sixties. By this time, the aunt had already laid down to rest.

Shao Yuanguang cleaned up lightly, moved a chair and sat down next to Bai Shutong's bed.

Bai Shutong's anesthetic had not yet receded, and the expression on his face was very calm. Shao Yuanguang quietly looked at her eyebrows in a daze, and I don't know how long it took, suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Shao Yuanguang was shocked and saw Tao Min when he turned around.

Tao Min heard that Shao Yuanguang was in the People's Hospital, so he took a taxi straight here after eating. When he arrived at the hospital, he made six or seven calls to Shao Yuanguang, but no one answered, but fortunately he met Gao Qi, and only then did he find Shao Yuanguang after Gao Qi pointed out.

The ward was quiet, not a place to talk, and the two went to the corridor.

Tao Min asked about Bai Shutong's condition, and then took out a text from his bag and handed it to Shao Yuanguang: "This is what Yan Lao entrusted me to transfer to you." ”

Shao Yuanguang took a look at it, it was an invitation to an academic conference in Beijing at the end of the year.

Shao Yuanguang put away the invitation, glanced at Tao Min, and said, "Running so far just for the invitation?" ”

Tao Min smiled in his heart, Yan Shiqing's invitation was naturally just a disguise, and the real purpose was out of curiosity, wanting to see with his own eyes what was restraining Shao Yuanguang and making him so uneasy.

Tao Min had done several studies on facial expressions with Shao Yuanguang earlier, and although he only knew a little about this, he could also see the uneasiness in Shao Yuanguang's expression. He would glance into the ward every two words, and although he was talking to her, his limbs were leaning towards the side of the ward, and he seemed a little agitated.

Tao Min looked at him and couldn't help teasing: "I rarely see you like this." ”

Shao Yuanguang glanced at Bai Shutong's side, came back to his senses, reached out and touched his chin, and replied lightly: "Really?" ”

"There are not many people who can make you so attentive, it seems that Tongtong is very important to you, you can grasp it well."

Tao Min seemed to be in the tone of a person who had come over, and Shao Yuanguang was a little uncomfortable when he heard it, so he couldn't help but snort coldly and spit out three words: "Neurotic." After that, he paused for a moment and added, "Xiaobai is very important, she is not there, and I can't handle many things, such as reimbursement ......"

Shao Yuanguang's serious lying appearance made Tao Min laugh. It's a rare opportunity to tease him face to face, Tao Min showed no mercy, patted Shao Yuanguang's shoulder and said, "Chris, it's okay, in the relationship between men and women, cognitive dissonance is very common, just know it yourself." ”

Tao Min said goodbye, and when he left, he winked at him again, waved his hand, and said, "Move quickly, I'll wait for your good news." ”

Looking at Tao Min's back as he left, Shao Yuanguang snorted coldly and turned around and returned to the ward.

As soon as he sat down beside Bai Shutong, the person on the bed groaned and gradually came to his senses.

Bai Shutong opened her eyes, and when she saw Shao Yuanguang, her heart warmed, endured the pain of the wound, and squeezed a smile at him.

The lights in the ward were dim, and with the faint light, Shao Yuanguang could see Bai Shutong's weak and strong smile. He couldn't help but help her brush the broken hair from the corners of her forehead, and asked softly, "Awake?" ”

Bai Shutong smiled and said, "Teacher Shao, I seem to have heard Teacher Tao's voice just now, is she here?" ”

Shao Yuanguang was stunned for a moment, recalling the conversation between him and Tao Min in the corridor just now, and his nerves couldn't help but tense. He cautiously asked, "What did you hear?" ”
