After eating with Qiao Sen, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, she called Qiao Ning, no one answered, it was estimated that she was busy, and she suddenly felt that the vacation with only one person was very boring.

I got home and picked up a book of English for the graduate school entrance examination and went to a nearby community library. After graduation, I picked up the books again, and my mind has been impetuous a lot, and the review materials I bought last year have not started to review systematically, and as a result, a lot of things have happened one after another, and it has been delayed.

The Lantern Festival has not passed, the students have not yet started, there are a lot of people in the library, she found a corner to sit down, turned the new first page, a reading down, although the accuracy rate is unsatisfactory, but because of frequent distraction, it took half an hour, then I lost the mood, simply walked to the bookshelf, turned up the idle books.

Passing by the documentary bookshelf, a copy of "Notes from Doctors Without Borders" attracted her, she pulled it out without thinking about it, returned to her seat and began to read, and soon, she was moved by the stories about humanity and the sour details.

She remembered what Josson said at lunchtime,

He said that it was indeed because of her that he had the idea of escaping, and wanted to escape from the life and feelings in front of him, but before, he had watched the documentary of Doctors Without Borders and was deeply moved by the volunteers inside, when he was still deeply trapped in the love of his children, those who had the same medical skills as him were in the war-torn area, reaching out to those who were struggling on the edge of life and death, alleviating the pain, and being a doctor, he felt that he should not be so narrow and superficial.

At this moment, when I seriously understood this field for the first time, I understood the shock and emotion that Qiao Sen said.

Unknowingly, I spent an afternoon in the library, and only after closing the door did I pack up my things and leave, and my mood was a little heavy, like a dark day in the evening.

As soon as he walked out of the library, he received a call from Gu Mochen.

"Vine, at home?"

Hearing his voice, the whole person was a little more energetic.

"The library near your home, you're off work?"

"Just came out of the courthouse, drop by to pick you up." He said it for granted.

"The volunteers also package the pick-up."

He smiled: "It's about five minutes, do I go directly to the library, or wait for you at the gate of the community?" ”

"Community."

When Tan Man arrived home, the car was already waiting by the security booth.

Sitting in the co-pilot, the heating was sufficient, and the cold cheeks suddenly warmed up.

"Going to the library to review?" He glanced at the books she was holding, the top of which was a graduate English reading comprehension book.

"I went to read in the afternoon, and I was completely out of shape, and it took half an hour." She said depressedly.

The car had already started and entered the traffic: "Post-holiday syndrome, it's similar in the law firm, everyone hasn't entered the state yet." ”

"So you don't work overtime anymore." She turned her head sideways and glanced at him, always in a suit, always so energetic and calm.

"In the past, there was no difference between going to work and going home, that is, looking at the computer and documents in a different place." He looked ahead, turned the steering wheel, and turned in the direction of Gu Jiazui, "Now I can't wait to get off work." ”

These words were very useful to her, Tan Man looked at him with a smile: "So, Helen should thank me, she can get off work early." ”

While chatting, it was soon there, Tan Man could breathe the long-lost river breeze through the car window, the lights were on, the prosperity of the city was in front of her, and she suddenly thought of the stories of the volunteers in the afternoon book.

"You know what?" She looked at the bustling river scenery outside the car window, and sighed, "In my freshman year, every time I came to the Bund, I was full of enthusiasm and ambition, and secretly vowed to gain a foothold in this city in the future and do a career, and then, buy a house of my own by the river, and now I have graduated and worked, only to realize that I am just a small screw, no matter how high these buildings are, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, no matter how prosperous the city is, you are only in your own one-acre and three-point land day after day, insignificant." ”

When Gu Mochen heard this, he glanced at her in slight surprise, and drove around into the parking lot of the community.

"What's the matter, all of a sudden, so emotional?"

She shook her head, a little downcast.

He stretched out his right hand and rubbed her head: "It's only been half a year since graduation, and you've entered a period of career confusion so soon?" ”

"No, just looking at the colorful banks of the river, I feel it."

"You are still so young, you can't be in a hurry, although you are a little passive to be pushed by life, but sometimes, life can also take you to unexpected scenery." He parked the car and turned off the engine.

After getting out of the car, Gu Mochen took the books from her arms, and habitually held her with his other hand, and walked towards the elevator room.

In the elevator, just the two of them, he looked down at the book she was reading, was attracted by the book "Notes of Doctors Without Borders", thought about it, and asked, "Did you read this book?" ”

Following his line of sight, Tan Man looked at him again, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell him about Qiao Sen.

"This morning, I went to the hospital to look for Qiao Sen."

Gu Mochen subconsciously frowned, but tried to keep things simple: "Is there something wrong with your ears?" ”

She immediately shook her head: "No. ”

"Ding", the elevator door opened, one after the other, Gu Mochen was not in a hurry to go home, but pulled her towards the viewing balcony in the foyer, after coming so many times, Tan Man only now found that the mansion is really full of scenery, and even the elevator hall on each floor is expected to be a small public balcony in the garden.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" He looked at her, frowning slightly.

Tan Man smiled slightly, stretched out two fingers and touched his eyebrows, but he held it back, so he explained:

"Qiao Ning called me two days ago, she said that Qiao Sen applied for the MSF organization, and she was going to Hong Kong for an interview after the Lantern Festival, she suspected that Qiao Sen made this decision impulsively because she knew about us together, so she asked me to help persuade her brother."

She observed the change in Gu Mochen's expression, but her face was always calm and she couldn't see any clues, so she added, "I went to the hospital to find him at noon today, just for this matter, and I will come back after eating." ”

Gu Mochen raised his eyebrows and nodded: "What about the result, what did he say?" ”

"The original intention may have been a little bit of me, and I wanted to escape, but then he said that the idea of joining this organization was not because of me, but because I really wanted to contribute to society, and it was my ambition as a doctor."

He hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's better to be like this, otherwise such a noble organization and such a great cause will be tarnished by him." ”

Tan Man teased: "It's so sour." ”

Gu Mochen smiled a little deeper and hooked her shoulder: "If he really applied out of this feeling, I admire him, after all, not everyone can endure the loneliness of being separated from their relatives and bear the impact of blood in the battlefield." ”

Tan Man nodded desperately: "That's what I thought." ”

Gu Mochen suddenly said unhappily: "I admire him very much? ”

She gave him a roll of the eyes: "I just admire the MSF community, especially after reading this book." ”

He chuckled and took her into his arms: "So, you are in conflict now, should you persuade him?" ”

Gu Mochen saw through her thoughts at a glance, Tan Man poked his head in her arms, and nodded lightly: "There is still a difference between friends and relatives, if I were his sister, I would definitely be 100% opposed, but now, he seems to be in order to realize the value of his life, he has to go, although he can treat patients in the hospital, but how to say, there is still something missing, since the parties are so selfless and persistent, it seems that it is not easy for us as friends to stop, after all, there are really many people hovering on the edge of life and death in the distance, Their help is urgently needed. ”

He nodded, and she added, "But most importantly, I'm sure he didn't make the choice on the spur of the moment because of me, so I'm much more at ease." ”

Gu Mochen said: "If he finds such a way to escape because of you, I think he will definitely retreat at the last moment, but if it is his inner ambition, as a friend, I think you should respect his choice, after all, he is an adult, besides, it is not necessary whether he can pass the interview, even if he is really assigned, there are protective measures and pre-job training, don't think about it so dangerously extreme, and come back smoothly, it is indeed a valuable wealth in life." ”

"What should I say about Qiao Ning's side?"

"Tell the truth." He said it calmly.

"Wouldn't it be too ruthless, after all, Qiao Sen is the only son of their family."

"Even his relatives can't persuade him, what can you do as a friend?" He looked down at her, "Miss Tan, don't ignore your boyfriend's mood, okay?" ”

Tan Man pursed her lips and smiled, stood on tiptoe and pecked him lightly on the lips to show comfort.

Gu Mochen snorted lightly, tightened his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.

When she got home that night, she had just taken a shower, and Qiao Ning called her back.

"Manman, did you talk to my brother today?" Qiao Ning asked.

"That's right," Tan Man didn't want to hide it, and confessed the conversation with Qiao Sen during dinner today, as well as the thoughts in her heart, "Xiao Ning, Qiao Sen seems to have made up his mind, I'm sorry, maybe because of my relationship, he was more determined to have this idea, but don't think so negatively." ”

"Manman, I don't blame you, I'm afraid that my brother will have some accidents, if he changes to other safe jobs, I won't have the spare time to stop him, he likes to go wherever he wants." Qiao Ning sighed, "Forget it, I still have to have an interview anyway, so I pray that he can't pass it, so he will die." ”

Tan Man smiled bitterly.

"By the way, do you remember the last time you borrowed me that red scarf?"

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"I went to the driver around it yesterday, and when he saw this scarf, it seemed a little abnormal, and he asked me how I had this scarf and where I bought it.
