CHAPTER XXVII
"Cheng Yang, let's go together, I heard that everyone will bring male friends, you can see if there is a suitable one!"
Cheng Yang smiled, and just as he wanted to say that he couldn't go, the phone began to vibrate, and then it was Qiao Jinghui's voice: "Cheng Yang, I'm going to school this afternoon, don't come back and cook for me." β
"And when are you coming back?"
"I don't know, but I'll try to come back as soon as possible."
"Well, then you go, bye-bye."
"Well, bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, my colleague said with a wicked smile: "It turns out that there is already a man in the family, no wonder he always doesn't go out to eat with us, and he goes home on time to cook!" β
Cheng Yang laughed: "If it's really a man, I won't worry, the one at home is my best friend, like an uncle all day long, I don't go back to cook, she cooks instant noodles to eat, and she doesn't wash the dishes after eating." β
The colleague also smiled: "Then you are really good to your girlfriend!" It can be seen that you have a very good temper. β
Cheng Yang shook his head and recalled seriously: "In fact, over the years, she has taken care of me the most, I just take care of her in life, and she is a person who can take charge of all aspects of her own work. β
"Sounds like your best friend is pretty good, where do you work now?"
"She hasn't graduated yet, she has been a soldier for four years as an undergraduate, and she is still in her senior year, and I don't know if she will be admitted to graduate school in the future. But I think she'll be able to find a very good job in the future. β
The two talked as they walked, and the colleague said, "Then do you want to ask her to come to dinner together, anyway, it's basically from our hospital, and you can bring friends and get to know more people." β
Cheng Yang shook his head: "She called just now to say that she had something to do, and asked me not to go back to cook for her." β
"Then you agreed to go to dinner with us?"
Cheng Yang nodded.
"Great! I'll text them right away. The colleague took out his mobile phone and pressed the keyboard quickly, "By the way, you can bring her with you next time!" I'd love to see what your uncle looks like! β
"Don't take a fancy to her then."
"What, she's beautiful?"
"I think so, but she herself keeps saying that she is handsome and not beautiful."
The colleague smiled: "What a cute girl." β
Cheng Yang made a "shhhh β
The colleague was surprised: "What a willful! β
"Yes, it's good-looking, willful!" Cheng Yang laughed.
The two talked and laughed all the way to the hotel, and entered the private room they had set, there were quite a lot of people in it, and the two sat down next to the familiar person, Cheng Yang looked to the right, it was actually a man he didn't know, burly, dark-skinned, with good eyebrows and eyes, and nodded politely to each other as saying hello.
The dishes are almost served, everyone is talking and laughing while eating the dishes and touching the wine glass, the man next to him has been eating the dishes very quietly, humorous and decent chatting with the people at the table, Cheng Yang couldn't help but ask the colleague sitting on the other side of her after a while: "Hey, who is this person?" β
The colleague only glanced at it and said, "It seems to be a friend of Da Zheng, I also came here last time." β
Cheng Yang nodded, she wasn't there last time.
The colleague went back to eat for a while, and suddenly said to Cheng Yang: "I heard that he works in a large company with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan, and the first time he had dinner with us last time, he paid first." β
Cheng Yang nodded again.
The colleague looked at the man and said, "Actually, you can try-"
Before the words fell, the man accidentally knocked down the wine glass in Cheng Yang's hand, and half a glass of wine splashed on Cheng Yang from the table, Cheng Yang exclaimed in a low voice, the tissue was on the other side of the table, and the man quickly took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe her, but considering that everyone was thinly dressed in the summer, it was easy to be seen as doing it by herself, and the man quickly handed the tissue to Cheng Yang and asked her to wipe it herself.
The man said sorry, and took the roll of paper handed over by others to wipe the table, so as not to wait for it to flow down or Cheng Yang was inconvenient to put his arm.
Cheng Yang blushed and said it didn't matter, while wiping himself the wine stains, he secretly glanced at the man, the man pursed his lips slightly, wiped the table with just the right amount of effort, and his eyes were focused and serious, as if this was his essential job.
Serious people are the most attractive, I believe that no one will object, and she is attracted by such a focused side face at the moment, but as a woman, she has always been embarrassed to show more, and after the other party wiped it, she politely said "thank you", and then she was speechless.
Cheng Yang noticed that the men didn't talk much during the banquet, and the occasional few words were just to ridicule and enliven the atmosphere, which can be regarded as talkative, but it won't seem to talk too much, such people are either born like this, or they are too well educated, or they have been crawling around in society a lot, and they have gradually accumulated this kind of skill in dealing with the world.
Da Zheng is a rough man with a similar family background to her, as his friend, it is estimated that it is not because of his family upbringing, so there are only two possibilities left, if it is the former, then the two should get along very easily, if it is the latter, she admires his ability.
In short, she felt that this man's conditions were not bad and it was feasible to get along, but since the other party did not show any signs, she would not say anything rashly.
After all, it's just a one-sided relationship.
Later, when they were generally toasting each other, the man also raised his glass and toasted Cheng Yang with a glass of wine, on the grounds of apology. Cheng Yang was startled, and after drinking it all, he replied in a panic, and the man smiled heartily and raised his neck to drink the white wine in the cup.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Cheng Yang, what about you?"
"My name is Li Hao, Muzi Li, Hao Hao."
Cheng Yang nodded, remembering, Mu Zi Li, the mighty Hao.
After drinking a few glasses, Cheng Yang collapsed from alcohol, and after a while, the other women also collapsed, so everyone said that they were scattered, and they had to go to work the next day.
Cheng Yang almost couldn't stand still, the female colleague who came with her also fell asleep, and several other female nurses she knew came with her boyfriends, Da Zheng said, "Li Hao, you send Cheng Yang home." β
Li Hao smiled slightly and nodded, and the female colleague reluctantly opened her eyes and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother, come on!" β
Cheng Yang staggered to his feet and said, "No need, I'll just take the bus back by myself." β
"It's not safe to be drunk like this, and take the bus alone." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and insisted on sending her home, Cheng Yang had no choice but to acquiesce, he was reasonable, and Qiao Jinghui also sent a text message a few minutes ago asking her to go back early.
Li Hao put his arm around her shoulder, so that she could lean on herself, so that she would not be held back, Cheng Yang really didn't have a good brain, and thought that they were all friends anyway, so he simply leaned in, and almost handed over all the strength of his body to Li Hao, and let Li Hao carry her out of the restaurant and send her to the taxi.
The taxi driver was an elderly man, and when he saw such a young and strong man carrying a drunken young woman, he only glanced at it slightly, then looked back without moving, and asked, "Young man, where are you going?" β
Li Hao asked Cheng Yang: "Where do you live?" β
Cheng Yang glared at the address where he lived, and the old driver looked at the two again, didn't speak, and started the engine.
The old driver was on the radio, and there was a late-night chat program playing in it, Li Hao listened to it for a while and then talked to the driver: "What channels do you usually listen to?" β
"I often listen to old songs from 92.5, and my son likes to listen to 94.6 pop songs."
"I often listen to 88.2, a hundred pulpits or something."
"Would you like to hear this?" The old driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror, "Today's young children don't have time to listen to these things, and occasionally when they turn on the traffic light, it's a music channel or a channel that listens to the host's quick talk." β
Li Hao smiled: "When I first came here, I ran out to find a part-time job as soon as I had time, did everything, and stayed on the radio, but a voice like mine was not a host when I heard it, I just cleaned it and occasionally did a phone edit." After a long time, I developed the habit of listening to the radio when I have nothing to do. β
The old driver nodded: "This is your girlfriend?" β
Li Hao shook his head: "Female friend, I'll send her home when I'm drunk, and I'll trouble you to wait downstairs for me later, I'll go home after I send her." β
Cheng Yang gave him extra points in his heart, he could talk to the elderly, and he had a clear attitude towards women, and he would not take advantage of others.
But if Qiao Jinghui is here, he will definitely say that this person is too scheming, at first the old driver obviously misunderstood Li Hao's intentions, and had some opinions on the two, Li Hao was very smart, and started the conversation with other things, and then naturally talked about the relationship between them, he could easily clear himself, and make people think that he was a good man with integrity and righteousness.
Cheng Yang leaned her head against the car door weakly and pressed her face against the glass, the summer night was cold, and the glass was also cold, so she would wake up as soon as possible.
At the same time, she also quietly listened to the conversation between the two people, and an emotion called "tranquility" rose in her heart, how long has it been since she listened to a man speak so quietly and carefully? Although this man's voice is not pleasant, it is so comfortable to listen to at the moment.
That's not right! Why do you think that? Cheng Yang woke up most of the time, you must know that Qiao Jinghui told her not to find a boyfriend in the first year or two of work, you can find it, but don't take it seriously.
How can she not be serious, she just won't have reservations about learning.
Since you won't keep it, it's better not to accept the other party's kindness anymore.
The taxi soon arrived at the destination, and Cheng Yang, standing at the gate of the community, began to send off passengers, saying "I can do it myself", "I am really grateful, but just send it here", "It's not good for others to see it".
Li Hao looked at her for a long time: "Afraid of being seen by your boyfriend?" Then the next time you call him, your girlfriend still needs someone to send him, what is he going to eat? β
Qiao Jinghui sneezed on the balcony, she stood on the balcony and waited for more than ten minutes, why hasn't this person come back yet? It's so cold, it looks like I'd better find some clothes and come out again.
Cheng Yang waved his hand: "No, I don't have a boyfriend, I live with my best friend, she will be unhappy if she sees you send me back." β
Li Hao looked at Cheng Yang fixedly, then took out a cigarette and lit it, the sparks that were clearly extinguished were particularly obvious in the dark night, he bit the cigarette and said, "You go in, I'll look at you, don't go in." β
Cheng Yang was stunned for a second, since she went to work, the men she has contacted the most are the doctors in the hospital, they are not allowed to smoke when they are working, and the father they see the most when they are not at work is their father, and their father is not a smoker, so when she saw the man's smoking action at first glance, she felt quite handsome after being unaccustomed to it for a moment.
There's a kind of mature charm.
Suddenly, the mobile phone kept vibrating in the pocket of his clothes, it was estimated that Qiao Jinghui called to urge, Cheng Yang hurriedly took it out to answer, and sure enough, it was Qiao Jinghui: "Where is it?" β
"When I get to the gate of the community, I'll come in immediately, and I'll pay the fare first."
"Well, come back quickly, it's cold outside."
"Well, I'll hang up first."
hung up the phone, turned her head and saw Li Hao smiling at her: "You want to pay the fare?" β
"Ah, yes."
"Do you think I'll say yes?"
Li Hao looked at her with a smile, Cheng Yang remembered that some people are machismo, and it doesn't seem appropriate for her to say so bluntly that she has to pay the fare, but she can't accept the financial burden of a strange man so calmly, so she thought about it and said, "I'll pay my share, okay?" We split the fare here because I don't want to accept other people's favors casually. β
Li Hao chuckled: "Whatever?" Since I said that I want to send you, I have to take responsibility, go back quickly, your friend is still waiting for you at home. β
How could he tell at once that it was a friend and not a boyfriend? When I was in the hospital before, Qiao Jinghui called, and my colleagues didn't hear that it was Qiao Jinghui, and thought it was her boyfriend, how did he know that it wasn't her boyfriend? ββThis person completely forgot that before the call, she herself said that she didn't have a boyfriend, and that she lived with her best friend.
But she didn't have time to dig deeper, because if she continued to stand like this, Qiao Jinghui would definitely come down to sign in person, she didn't want her to see a strange man send her back, so despite his refusal, she gave him her share of the money, and then quickly and politely said goodbye.
Before walking into the corridor of the community, Cheng Yang could always feel the burning gaze behind her, which made her feel relieved and comfortable.
As soon as he walked into the corridor, the lights came on, Cheng Yang looked up, and sure enough, it was Qiao Jinghui who came downstairs, thinking that it was good that he didn't stay, and said with a smile on his face: "Why did you come down?" Aren't you afraid of the dark? β
Qiao Jinghui saw that it was her, the smell of wine, her originally fair face was flushed, and she was still holding the wall with one hand, and she was instantly unhappy: "Why do you drink so much wine?" β
Cheng Yang saw that she looked unhappy, so he smirked and fooled her.
After going back, Qiao Jinghui turned on hot water for her to take a bath first, and then peeled two preserved eggs and prepared vinegar for dipping, and when Cheng Yang came out, she let her slowly eat the preserved eggs while blowing her hair.
Cheng Yang stared at Qiao Jinghui's serious cheeks while eating preserved eggs, and said, "It's the first time you've blown my hair for so long, and I have blown your hair before." β
Qiao Jinghui glanced at her lightly: "Shouldn't the queen take care of the emperor?" Now that the emperor has done everything for you, will you dare to get drunk next time? β
"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't dare." Cheng Yang made a grievance.
I went to work normally the next day, and I felt that the events of the night before were like a dream, and when I woke up from the dream, I didn't think about it anymore, Cheng Yang didn't feel anything, he was just a pretty good man.
A few days later, Cheng Yang saw this man who only had a one-sided relationship.
Cheng Yang was on night duty, and as soon as he went to the toilet and came out, he turned around and ran into someone, which frightened Cheng Yang and exclaimed, you must know that it is already past one o'clock in the morning, and Qiao Jinghui originally said that she would not come to the hospital at night because she felt too cold. Looking at Li Hao, who he met not long ago, Cheng Yang patted his chest in shock and asked, "Why did you come to the hospital so late?" β
Li Hao seemed a little embarrassed, and when he saw her, he said, "I'm sorry to scare you, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I came over." β
"What's wrong, heat stroke?" In the past few days, there are many people who come to the hospital for heat stroke, and it is estimated that his cheeks are crimson, his eyes are misty, and his standing is weak. Nine is not far from ten, "But why are you here now?" β
Li Hao smiled embarrassedly: "Yesterday I felt that I would sleep and passed, but I still felt uncomfortable when I got up this morning, I can't take temporary leave from work, I didn't feel anything strange when I got off work, and I woke up and vomited when I slept at night, so I came here so late." β
Cheng Yang nodded clearly, although she wondered why he couldn't take temporary leave from work, she couldn't ask about other people's private matters, so she took him to register.
When he came out, Cheng Yang asked, "Do you want to take a day off tomorrow?" If you have heat stroke, it will affect your work, and your leaders will understand. β
Li Hao took the prescription sheet: "Let's take a look tomorrow after taking the medicine, how dare people like us who work outside ask for leave casually." β
Cheng Yang nodded, feeling that he had nothing to say, so he smiled and watched him leave: "You can go back quickly after taking the medicine, you can sleep for a while after taking the medicine." β
At noon on the third day, I met him again, wearing narrow-rimmed black-framed myopic glasses, a suit and leather shoes, and carrying a male eye. Wenbao, as soon as he came, he directly stopped Cheng Yang, who was in a hurry: "Is the doctor who saw me last time here now?" β
Cheng Yang turned around and was surprised by his dress: "It's you, is there something wrong?" β
"The company needs to issue a certificate."
"You're not well from heat stroke?" Cheng Yang frowned and pointed with his hand, "It's still in that room, you go, I have something to do, so I'll go first." β
Li Hao glanced in the direction she was pointing, nodded, and said goodbye.
Ten minutes later, Cheng Yang stood next to the doctor and quickly recorded on the paper, the doctor said quickly, her handwriting was flying on the paper wantonly, it didn't matter how scribbled it was now, as long as she recognized it, anyway, she would sort it out and write it back on the record sheet later.
The doctor said goodbye to the patient, Cheng Yang quietly glanced at his watch, it's time to get off work, but it looks like she should be delayed for a while before she can get off work, the group walked out of the ward, Cheng Yang followed the doctor on the right side, bowed his head to check his notes, and came to the elevator, the doctor spoke: "This morning's inspection ward work is over, let's go to dinner early." β
Everyone nodded, except for the people who stayed waiting for the elevator and were ready to go downstairs, Cheng Yang walked to the side of the chair and sat down, looked at the empty and quiet corridor, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Qiao Jinghui: "At home? β
After waiting for a while, Qiao Jinghui didn't reply, and it was estimated that she was either outside or buried herself in work.
Cheng Yang put away her mobile phone, Qiao Jinghui has been looking for a job recently, and all kinds of preparations are so busy that she doesn't even bother to cook noodles when she is not at home, so she directly buys buckets of instant noodles and throws them in the trash, which is time-saving and convenient.
Walked to the elevator and waited for the elevator, watching the red numbers increase one by one, "Ding-" The elevator arrived, and Cheng Yang was stunned as soon as the door opened, and said, "What are you doing here?" Someone hospitalized? β
Li Hao was the only one in the elevator, looking at her with a smile: "Don't you come in yet?" β
Cheng Yang hurriedly stepped in two steps before the elevator door closed and asked, "I'm going down, what about you?" β
"Me too."
"But you've just come up."
Li Hao smiled: "I came up specifically to find you." β
Cheng Yang was slightly stunned, and listened to him explain: "It just so happens that you are also going to get off work, why don't you invite you to have a meal, I will have to take care of you more when I come here in the future." β
"Where's Da Zheng?" After speaking, he remembered again, "Oh, Da Zheng asked for leave at home today." But you don't have to invite me to dinner, I'll do my best to help with something between friends. β
Li Hao smiled: "Are you still unwilling to invite you to dinner?" You're so funny. β
got off the elevator and happened to receive a call from Qiao Jinghui: "Where are you?" β
"Hospital." Cheng Yang was confused.
"Didn't look at your phone? I just replied to you and you didn't respond. β
"Oh, I didn't look at my phone in the elevator just now, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, come back early if you're fine, otherwise you won't be able to take a nap."
Cheng Yang agreed, hung up the phone, turned his head and said to Li Hao: "I'm sorry I'm going back, my friend is still waiting for me to go back to cook." β
Li Hao smiled: "Doesn't she know how to cook by herself?" Are you so busy at work and take care of her like a babysitter? β
Cheng Yang frowned, and subconsciously didn't want others to say this about Qiao Jinghui: "She is busier than me, and the care between us is mutual, if I am her nanny, then she is my personal bodyguard." β
"Your division of labor is very clear!" Li Hao commented.
Cheng Yang smiled, and the two stopped mentioning this matter.
Sent to the door, Cheng Yang said: "You go back, I'll change my clothes and go back later." β
Li Hao nodded, walked two steps and turned back to grab Cheng Yang, stuffed her with a small ornament, a wooden doll hung on the thin black rope, black hair and red Hanfu, eyes closed, long eyelashes, Cheng Yang was puzzled, Li Hao explained: "I was invisibly forced to consume in the temple yesterday, what is the matter with me bringing this kind of woman's things?" It's better to give it to you. β
Seeing that Cheng Yang was still hesitating, he said again: "Anyway, it's not a valuable thing, take it." β
Cheng Yang looked up at him, there was no trace of variegation in his eyes, as if he really just gave it to her casually, not to mention that this kind of thing was spread everywhere for worthlessness, it shouldn't be meaningful, he hesitated slightly, accepted it, and said "thank you".
Seeing that she was willing to accept it, Li Hao was overjoyed, and left with a smile.
The man's tall body gradually walked away, and the shadow cast on the ground gradually became invisible, Cheng Yang was stunned for a while, then looked at the things in his hand, and slowly paced to change clothes and prepare to go home.
Taking a bath at night, Qiao Jinghui washed it later, threw the dirty clothes into the basket, heard the sound of "jingle bell", opened his clothes, and Cheng Yang was lying with a keychain in his pants.
Qiao Jinghui was speechless, usually Cheng Yang also said that she was a memory black hole, and now she didn't forget the key in the toilet.
But she immediately noticed something unusual, where did the little wooden girl on the keychain come from? When did she have such bad taste and even buy this kind of thing?
"Cheng Yang! Do you want the key? β
Qiao Jinghui called her in the toilet, Cheng Yang woke up suddenly, threw down the remote control board and ran over: "Yes, yes!" β
"I also said that I was a memory black hole." Qiao Jinghui looked at her narrowly, "Where did this thing come from?" β
Qiao Jinghui is very observant, and she has some reasoning ability after being in the army, and her understanding of her is no less than his own, Cheng Yang has already prepared and said: "When I met a deaf and mute person on the road, he gave me this if I gave me some money." β
After speaking, I thought of Li Hao, although I didn't know him on the road, but she also gave some money, and then Li Hao gave her this now, okay, just think of it as the fare given that day.
Qiao Jinghui has no doubt that there is him, because there are too many such facts, she has encountered it herself, sometimes she receives a bracelet, sometimes she receives a red rope necklace, and now it is not surprising that Cheng Yang has received this.
So I went back to take a shower.
Cheng Yang sat back on the sofa with the key, and put the key in his bag in a flash, so that he wouldn't lose it so easily.
