Chapter 14 The Flavors of Life
The afternoon sun has a warm feeling. After several days of cold spells, people need this kind of weather. The warm air was permeated with a slight breath, filling everything in the sky and earth, and every nerve ending was relaxed and stretched.
This kind of weather is perfect for a cup of coffee. Since Lan Eucalyptus bought a simple hand-cranked coffee grinder online, the coffee brewed in the dormitory is in short supply every day.
Dan Yan loves to drink black coffee. This habit originated from her junior year of high school, staying up late every night to fight, her brother knew that Dan Yan was the only hope in the family to be admitted to college, and heard the villagers who went to work in the city say that coffee can refresh themselves, so he went to the town to buy a big bag of the cheapest instant coffee when he was in the market, and asked his neighbor to bring Dan Yan over. Since he didn't have the extra cash to buy milk froth and sugar cubes, black coffee was already a luxury for him, and this bitter coffee without milk, sugar and seasoning became an exclusive memory of Danyan's senior year of high school. Black coffee is also very much like the life of Danyan, there is no well-off family as smooth as milk, and there is no love as sweet as honey. And pure black coffee is not only bitter, but also simple and open-minded, an optimistic attitude towards life. Dan Yan is not afraid to taste the bitterness of black coffee alone, so he also feels the mellow aroma that matches his heart.
Mengshi pays more attention to the environment and mood of drinking coffee. The wine is too strong, the tea is too leisurely, but the coffee makes people calm. This feeling from the heart is very important, it makes the brain feel as if it has been formatted, empty, white, and free. It's like you're in a café covered with vines, the dappled walls of the setting sun glow with the yellow light, and the fragrance of the soul fills the air. Mengshi occasionally makes coffee in the early morning after staying up late, and apparently a large part of most coffee drinkers do it for refreshment, so it's no wonder that there was a rumor in France that there were more people napping immediately due to coffee shortages, which is an exaggeration.
And at noon today, Mengshi happened to go to the health management department for a meeting in a hurry, and Danyan hadn't come back from delivering the food yet, and only Lan Eucalyptus and Luo Yao were left in the dormitory. Luo Yao likes to drink caramel macchiato. The meaning of this coffee is happiness, one-third of the original coffee is blended with two-thirds of milk foam, and then poured with a thin layer of caramel, the taste is really like a cup of warm happiness! And the eucalyptus is very fond of the process of grinding coffee, just like expecting happiness is often better than happiness itself. Coffee was gurgling on the electric stove, and Lan Yu couldn't stop turning on the computer, and the music played slowly, it was the piano music of Yukie Nishimura, and she liked this kind of taste, smell, and hearing at the same time. The white cream rippled like foam, and the air was filled with an alluring fragrance, like a beautiful and illusory love in a fairy tale, Luo Yao took the cup and took a sip gently, and the rich aroma rushed to her throat and soaked into her stomach in an instant, as if there was a mellow warm current swimming on the tip of her tongue.
Eucalyptus poured the rest of the coffee for herself, and put a small sugar cube into the cup, although Eucalyptus can make ten kinds of coffee according to the recipe and knows how to latte art, but she likes to drink coffee with only sugar cubes, just like her style is simple and sweet. The blue eucalyptus gently stirred with a small silver spoon, watching the heat continue to emanate, and soon there was a rich aroma around her, and her thoughts seemed to be immersed in the coffee.
Suddenly, Luo Yao put down the cup with a "bang", and lay on the desk with white lips, Lan Yao was immediately frightened when she saw this scene, fortunately Luo Yao did not foam at the mouth, otherwise it would make people wonder if there was something wrong with this coffee.
I saw that Luo Yao's whole person was paralyzed like a mess of mud, and Lan Yao was helpless in surprise, unable to speak for a long time, Luo Yao suddenly cried "wow", "Lan Yao, I'm worried that I'm pregnant." With that, soybean-like tears fell down in a stream. This sentence made Lan Yao stay there for a while, she was very sympathetic to her roommate, but Lan Yu had never dealt with such problems, so she had to hand Luo Yao a tissue next to her in surprise.
Lan Yu was silent for a while, and comforted Luo Yao incoherently: "Don't worry! I will keep it a secret for you, and I believe that Mengshi and Danyan will also keep their mouths shut. But you have to worry about it yourself, your boyfriend should always know about it, right? Didn't he accompany you to the hospital for a check-up? Luo Yao raised her head with a dull gaze, "Where will he care if I live or die?!" You may not know it, but I was a paid plaything in his eyes at best! It's still the best of you 3 for me, I can feel that you are sincere, unlike those people in society who are sycophants and deceive me......"
"Where is the society scheming me? Don't be angry. Lan Yu rubbed his hands anxiously, "Do you know your current physical condition?" ”
Luo Yao's face glared at Lan Yu like ashes, "I beg you not to tell my family ......" After being stunned for a long time, Luo Yao collapsed on the back of the chair with her hands down, "Actually, my so-called family is only my aunt, I don't want to tell her, if she knows about this, she will look down on me even more!" ”
Lan Yao was stunned by these words, and she had no choice but to look at Luo Yao with pity, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
Luo Yao felt that her lower abdomen hurt like a tear again, and it hurt for a while. Luo Yao stood up weakly, and asked with empty eyes, almost begging, "Lan Eucalyptus, if you really pity me, will you accompany me to the city hospital?" Lan Eucalyptus shook his head in horror and nodded again, "Where is the pitiful?" Don't say that, we're waiting for you to get better and go to class as usual. I'll accompany you to the city hospital to see a doctor now, of course you can't go to the school infirmary, the medical skills are not enough and it's easy to leak privacy, I asked Mengshi to help us ask for leave in the afternoon. ”
Lan Yu sent a text message to Mengshi, briefly relayed Luo Yao's situation, and told her not to spread this matter outside the dormitory in order to take care of Luo Yao's face. Mengshi's text message quickly replied, "Don't worry about the leave, I will quietly tell Dan Yan and let her keep it secret." It's just that you can accompany Luo Yao to see a doctor alone? Do you want to go too? Luo Yao is really pitiful! ”
Lan Yu helped Luo Yao to wait for the bus at the bus stop at the school gate, and at the same time lowered his head and sent a text message with his unilateral hand, "Don't run around if you are so busy, Luo Yao will tell you anything new." At this time, an empty bus entered the station, and Lan Yu pushed the pale-faced Luo Yao to climb onto the bus and sit down in the two seats in the front row. The enthusiastic driver uncle said like a homely person, "Little sister, didn't school schedule classes today?" Lan Yu politely replied: "I have asked for leave, and I will accompany my roommate to see a doctor." ”
The uncle looked back at Luo Yao with a concerned expression: "The climate has changed a lot these days, add more clothes, and the hospital is overcrowded!" Luo Yao looked at Lan Eucalyptus very uneasily, and Lan Eucalyptus immediately understood, "Uncle, the weather is so cold, and there are fewer people going out, do you still make so many trips every day as before?" The uncle suddenly chattered like an open chatterbox: "No way! The bus company stipulates that we must make 10 trips a day, otherwise we will have to deduct wages. In fact, it's good that the weather is cold like this, the warmth in the car is not a big problem, and there are fewer people to stop at fewer stations and drive fast. I am afraid of rain, the road is easy to slip and it is not safe, the car does not dare to drive too fast, but I am afraid of driving less than ten times if I drive slowly. I was deducted from my salary last month. It's better that you've read like this, and you have a lot of work options. ”
Lan Yu smiled and didn't answer. The bus unconsciously drove to the Y City Women's Medical Station, and Lan Yu greeted the uncle and hurriedly pulled Luo Yao off the bus, for fear of being asked. Because clear-eyed people understand what it means for a little girl in her twenties to go to the Municipal Women's Hospital, Luo Yao doesn't have the face to face it, Lan Yu doesn't want others to misunderstand herself, but she hasn't even talked about love.
The cold wind was as piercing as a knife cone, and the thin Luo Yao was almost blown away by the wind like a piece of paper, she couldn't help but hold Lan Yao's sleeve tightly, Lan Yao was also shivering with cold, she almost dragged Luo Yao, and the two girls went into the hospital hall one after the other.
Luo Yao raised her eyes and saw a long queue at the registration window, sighed heavily, trembled her hands that were red from the cold, and took out 5 red old man's heads from the Chanel black vintage calfskin bag she carried. Lan Yu took the money, settled Luo Yao in the waiting hall next to the hospital gate, and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd to queue up for registration.
Several middle-aged women in the middle of the line looked back at Lan Eucalyptus and looked at her with disdain and disdain, as if Lan Yu had done something unseemly. Lan Yu reluctantly turned her head to the other side, thinking that if it wasn't because she couldn't bear to see Luo Yao sick, she wouldn't stand here and suffer this crime! What she didn't expect was that compared to the attitude of the doctor upstairs, this was just pediatrics!
Luo Yao's medical records were placed on Director Jiang's desk, and she queued for an hour and a half before it was her turn to see a doctor. By the time she sat down on the hospital chair in front of the doctor's desk, Luo Yao had been leaning against the wall for a long time, her lips were biting and she was white but couldn't speak. Lan Eucalyptus understood Luo Yao's pain, and when the doctor asked about the symptoms, she helped Luo Yao answer what she knew, so that the doctor treated Lan Yao as a patient.
Director Jiang, who was consulted, was about forty years old, with small black wavy hair, squinting at the blue eucalyptus, and every inch of his hair was screaming like a snake on Medusa's head. Lan Yu just wanted to explain: It was not her who was sick, but Luo Yao. Director Jiang actually took the lead in teaching a lesson: "The little girl still needs to pay attention to her hygiene at a young age, otherwise she will wait to be punished!" After that, he opened three laboratory tests, including urine test, blood routine and B-ultrasound, and threw them at them, signaling the next patient to come and see a doctor. Lan Yu opened her mouth angrily, but after all, she didn't ask anything, and shook her head to help Luo Yao, who was weak, out of the consultation room.
The wait for the results of the examination is even longer, and every minute and every second is swollen with trepidation. Lan Eucalyptus was next to Luo Yao, whose hands and feet were cold, and her expression looked at the flow of people shuttling in the corridor as if she was frozen, time flowed slowly like an hourglass, the wind whistled in from the window, and the whole corridor was like an ice cave with a bloody mouth.
Finally, the doctor in the examination room poked his head out and called Luo Yao's name, it must be the results of the examination. Luo Yao stood up as if awakened from a nightmare, and timidly walked to the window to get the report. The doctor looked at Luo Yao with a serious face, and read several important indicators to her: "Your urine test result is weakly positive, the blood hCG is a little more than 1180, the gestational sac is not visible in the uterine cavity of B ultrasound, there is a small black spot in the fallopian tube, and there is fluid in the pelvis." Ectopic pregnancy is more likely! ”
Luo Yao was so frightened that her face was so pale that she almost fainted on the ground. Lan Eucalyptus saw that something was wrong and hurriedly ran over. Luo Yao was shocked and scared, she was so anxious that she was about to cry, she found out that she didn't come to her period a few days ago, and she knew that she was very likely to be pregnant, so she had been scared for several days. I didn't expect it to be an ectopic pregnancy! Luo Yao's aunt was ectopic pregnant five years ago, and she didn't know how many sins she suffered from surgery and medicine, because she had 3 holes in her body after doing minimally invasive surgery, and several boyfriends were unwilling to marry her. Later, I had to bring up a two-year-old daughter alone, and I dare not disclose who my biological father is. Could it be that Luo Yao can only follow in her sister-in-law's footsteps?
Luo Yao suddenly lost her mind and cried heartbreakingly. A woman next to her, who was about a few years older than them, kindly handed Luo Yao a pack of tissues and said a few words of comfort. As soon as the woman's boyfriend saw Luo Yao, who was crying and was about to pass out, and Lan Eucalyptus, who was full of childishness, he already understood 3 points in his heart. The man tried to enlighten Luo Yao: "Ectopic pregnancy is not so terrible, it is that the fertilized egg is lost." My girlfriend also had an ectopic pregnancy last month, and she didn't have surgery, so she took the medicine for the abortion in the first week, and then got two injections in three weeks, and didn't do anything else. I'm half a medical student, and I rarely listen to what doctors say. ”
Luo Yao wiped away her tears as if she saw hope, "Is it okay not to go under the knife?" The man nodded slightly: "The basic hospital asks me to sign a no-liability agreement every Friday, and I have to have a gimmicked operation every Friday, in fact, we all know this business by ourselves, minimally invasive surgery is about 10,000 yuan, and conservative treatment is at most a few injections, and there is no profit at all." Conservative treatment or surgery, the key depends on one point, that is, whether your HCG is declining, regardless of how fast it falls, as long as it falls, you are basically safe, and you can have the capital not to go under the knife. The principle is very simple, if the HCG is lowered, the gestational sac will not become larger, there will be no fallopian tube rupture, and there will be no day when the big knife will be used. As for the gestational sac itself, whether it is large or small, it doesn't mean much, because the thing is not completely solid, and it is normal for it to change shape. But if the HCG is not reduced, don't hesitate to directly minimally invade. Chemotherapy injections are harmful and painful, so don't take more shots. ”
Luo Yao nodded thoughtfully, and said to the kind young lady next to her with tears in her eyes, "Thank you!" I really don't want to go under the knife. Luo Yao followed their advice and took conservative treatment, and took a week off to recuperate in the dormitory. Lan Eucalyptus, Mengshi, and Danyan only claimed that Luo Yao had a stomach problem, and they took care of and enlightened her in the dormitory when they were not in class. Although Luo Yao has no man to take care of herself, she is also secretly glad that God has arranged 3 little suns in her dormitory, and the harsh winter in her heart is not so difficult.
