Chapter Twenty-Six: Perseverance
Seeing Zimo stunned there, Director Teng began to tell his story.
"After graduating from medical school in China, I went abroad to study for a doctorate, and during this period I suffered a lot that ordinary people can't imagine. Today, I seem to be envious to outsiders, but I actually relied on my dedication to the chosen goal little by little, of course, there is no lack of hesitation, hesitation, and even struggle. I am not glad for my success, but I admire the hardship and perseverance I have put into making it where I am today. I haven't been in a relationship, so I don't have time, or rather, I haven't met someone who catches my heart. The first time I saw you, I felt like I was seeing an old friend, and then I gradually realized that you were the wife I was looking for. You give people a very clear feeling, your eyes are very relaxing, get along with you, don't have to worry about it. It's not as muddy as some worldly girls, it looks ambiguous, and it's unsettling to get along with.
My work is tiring, I need a strong sense of responsibility, and I will be in a constant state of tension during work, so I hope that after a day of work, I can have a wife like you waiting for me at home, so that I can relax with all my heart... You don't have to answer me now, you can think about it, I can wait, for as long as I want..."
Zimo felt that there was no need to continue listening, and took advantage of Director Teng's pause in his tone to say, "I'm sorry! Director, in business, as a junior, I have great respect for you. For your private life, I have no interest, I beg your pardon for my frankness. I already have a boyfriend and he has become an integral part of my life, and we will be married soon. Thank you for believing in me! If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go first. After speaking, Zimo didn't wait for Director Teng to speak, and walked out of room 1206 quickly.
Because it was lunch break, Zimo walked straight to the garden in the courtyard alone, on the cobblestone path, Zimo walked with her hands in her pockets and her head down, she was desperately thinking about Chen Mo, and she also had the idea of leaving here for the first time.
After listening to Zimo's words, Director Teng couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart, and he was a little stunned emotionally, he walked in front of the window, and happened to see Zimo walking in the garden, and his heart was sour, he didn't know who was so blessed, and at the same time he also wanted to know who was so blessed!
In the following days, Zimo and Director Teng played hide and seek, if they could not meet, they would not meet, every time after checking the room, Zimo rushed into the consultation room, and even in order to avoid Director Teng, even at lunch time, she was the last to go to the cafeteria.
It's lunch time again, and colleagues are laughing and getting ready to go to the restaurant. Zimo took out a book that was ready to take the exam and was about to open it, when the nurse Xiao Wang walked up to Zimo with a box of bento and said, "Give." ”
Zimo was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't order takeout, it's not mine." ”
"It's not a takeaway, it's a jaw-popping lunch that someone put together for you with the best food in the cafeteria!" Xiao Wang grimaced as he spoke.
"Who is it?" Zimo asked.
"Guess for yourself!" Xiao Wang said and walked out.
Then every day Zimo would receive a different boxed lunch, and finally couldn't bear it, Zimo had to walk into the restaurant as soon as possible, and then choose a place near the corner, bowing his head and eating his lunch.
"You can finally come down for lunch, are you afraid to see me?" Zimo, who was just bowing his head to eat, found that Director Teng didn't know when he actually sat opposite him, and while talking, he sandwiched a piece of braised pork ribs into Zimo's lunch box.
"Do you want everyone to know?" Zimo was so anxious that he had forgotten that he was his top boss, and glared at Director Teng fiercely with his eyes and said in a low voice.
"What are you afraid of, we haven't done anything wrong." Director Teng argued.
"You..." Zimo was so angry that he couldn't find the words to fight back, picked up the lunch box and wanted to leave, but was held down by Director Teng's wrist.
"When you're done eating, I'll let it go." After speaking, he sandwiched a few pieces of pork ribs into Zimo's lunch box.
Looking at Zimo at this time, he was like a child who protected food, pressing his lunch box with both hands, looking down left and right, and saw that his colleagues were all fighting with their heads bowed to themselves, and then turned around and chewed the ribs that Director Teng sandwiched into his lunch box vigorously, and after watching Zimo finish eating, Director Teng immediately handed Zimo a tissue, Zimo was not polite at all, pulled it over and wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and then said fiercely to Director Teng: "No thanks!" He turned around and walked away.
Seeing Zimo's frank character being excavated by himself, Director Teng couldn't help but smile and shook his head, adding a little bit of love for Zimo in his heart.
Zimo sat on a garden bench, holding his head in his hands and regretting his reckless behavior just now, thinking to himself: This is over, my life is fine, it seems that this job may not be able to hold it...
Zimo, who was staring at the cobblestone road under his feet, suddenly found that he had a pair of feet standing in front of him in his sight, Zimo hurriedly looked up and saw that Director Teng was looking at him with his hands in his pockets.
Zimo had a feeling of seeing a ghost, and hurriedly stood up and said, "I'm sorry! Director. ”
"When there are no outsiders, just call me Teng Yi!" Director Teng said and sat down.
"Well, you're a senior." Zimo said while waving his hand.
"Wouldn't it be better if you just said that I was an elder, so that you could kick me away with one kick, so that I didn't even have the qualifications to be an alternate!" Teng Yi's words sounded like self-deprecation.
Zimo didn't take another sentence, but sat down slowly, just a little far away from Teng Yi sitting.
"You don't have to be pressured, liking you is just wishful thinking on my part, you don't need to do anything in response, I just want to follow my heart, as for the result, I can accept it." Teng Yi said a little sadly.
"But I really envy the guy who got ahead of me, he was so lucky! Must be a very good person! Teng Yi looked into the distance and muttered.
"Yes, it's good, at least in my heart. He was my high school classmate, who accompanied me through a period of suffocating bitterness, and at the same time he was a very responsible man, and being with him made me feel very grounded, and we trusted each other very much. Zimo's attachment to Chen Mo made Teng Yi envious.
"Is he committed to you?" Teng Yi probably felt that he had a bit of a problem, and then said: "I'm sorry! If you don't want to say it, you can not say it. "I just... Speaking of this, Teng Yi suddenly brushed his hair back.
"No, there is no commitment between us. For two people who trust each other, it's enough to just do it. Promises but can't do it, and eventually becomes deception, doesn't it only add to sadness and helplessness! Zimo's words made Teng Yi feel that the girl in front of him was even more different.
"Director Teng, thank you for your continued care! I'm just a bland girl, I don't have any big ambitions and ambitions, if I have to say anything, that is, to be an ordinary person, to live a dull life, this is my pursuit. You are different, your excellence is obvious to all, so your scenery is not here with me, but from the place where you look up. Zimo said very sincerely.
"I don't want to choose a lover with an academic eye, I want to follow the person I identify as my wife with my heart. Otherwise, I'd rather die alone! After speaking, Teng Yi stood up and walked into the hospital building without looking back.
