Chapter 3: Tenderness and Sword Swinging (4)
04
Tao Zhenzhen met the boy who fell into the water again in the hospital, the boy changed into clean clothes, and sat in the rest area, his face was pale and his eyes were glazed.
Tao Zhenzhen walked over worriedly, leaned down and patted him on the shoulder, and asked him, "Little brother, are you okay?" β
The young man looked at Tao Zhenzhen in surprise, stunned, and recognized her for a long time: "You just ...... The one who saved me? β
"It's me." Tao Zhenzhen bent a pair of crescent-like eyes and said with a smile, "I thought you couldn't remember me when you were unconscious just now." β
The young man lowered his head, clasped his hands tightly, and pursed his lips: "Thank you, but in fact, you don't save me...... It doesn't matter. β
The boy's voice grew lower and lower, as if he was talking to himself.
Hearing this, Tao Zhenzhen frowned: "Why did you fall into the water while riding a bike?" β
"I don't know...... It was just a sudden thought, and when I reacted, I rushed into the river. The boy curled up, buried his face between his arms, and his nasal voice grew thicker and thicker, and he kept muttering, "I don't want to, I don't know ...... either"
"May I ask ...... you," the woman's puzzled voice sounded from behind her.
Tao Zhenzhen turned around and saw a middle-aged woman dressed plainly. She held the medicine list and medicine in her hand, and her eyes fell on Tao Zhenzhen.
Tao Zhenzhen didn't have time to change into a white coat, but only showed her work card: "Hello Auntie, I'm the doctor here." β
"Doctor, what's wrong with my son?" The middle-aged woman asked cautiously.
"Hmm......" Tao Zhenzhen glanced down at the struggling young man, and said with a straight face, "I suggest you take him to the psychiatric department to have a look, his mood doesn't seem to be very stable." β
The woman expressed skepticism and argued: "My son has just been under a lot of pressure to study recently, so he shouldn't need to see a psychiatrist......
Tao Zhenzhen has seen many patients, and she knows that in the eyes of some people, seeing a psychiatrist seems to be a tacit acquiescence to her mental illness.
Tao Zhenzhen opened her mouth and was about to speak, when a colleague passing by suddenly called out to her: "Doctor Tao, hurry up and go to the morning meeting." β
"Here we are." Tao Zhenzhen responded, sighed, and said to the middle-aged woman, "I'm out of company first." β
More is better than less, nosy, it doesn't seem to be her style. Tao Zhenzhen thought as she walked.
After the morning meeting, it was another busy day, and Tao Zhenzhen quickly forgot about the little episode that happened in the hospital in the morning.
Until lunchtime, Psyllium came to tease her: "I heard that you are brave today." β
"You're so well-informed?" Tao Zhenzhen took a chicken leg from the plate of psyllium and said unashamedly, "In order to reward me, the chicken leg should be treated as a meal for me." β
"We all know in the emergency department, and I also heard that you secretly fell in love without me...... "Psyllium "courtesy" took two pieces of fried short ribs from Tao Zhenzhen's dinner plate, "In order to make up for my injured little heart, these two pieces belong to me." β
"Shameless." Tao Zhenzhen complained.
"Hooligans." Psyllium strikes back.
The two glared at each other, then laughed.
Tao Zhenzhen pointed to her nose: "I secretly fell in love, do you believe it?" β
"Who knows, anyway, the doctor who came back from the car said he saw you with a tall and handsome boy." Psyllium approached Tao Zhenzhen and asked gossipingly, "Who is that boy?" Do I know each other? It can't be your fiancΓ©, right? β
"The one you know is still your idol, Zhou Huaiheng." Tao Zhenzhen replied truthfully.
With a "snap", the chopsticks in psyllium's hand fell on the table, and a pair of eyes widened.
She covered her mouth in shock and asked Tao Zhenzhen, "Why are you with him in the morning?" I didn't come home from duty last night, you ...... ...... with him."
Tao Zhenzhen calmly fanned the wind in front of the psyllium to dispel her thoughts: "It was Qiao Yu who asked him to urge me to run in the morning, he came from school early in the morning, don't think about it." β
"Cut." Psyllium pursed his lips, and his interest was instantly lacking.
Tao Zhenzhen proposed, "Do you want to join us tomorrow and go for a morning run?" In this way, you can end up with Zhou Huaiheng at close range. β
"Forget it, I don't want to be a light bulb,"
Tao Zhenzhen frowned: "You are still talking nonsense." β
Psyllium held his cheeks, approached Tao Zhenzhen, and grinned: "Actually, it's not bad for you to be together, the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders, you go and seduce him, so that he can't flow out...... Shall I not see him often? It's just beautiful. β
"Then you can seduce yourself." Tao Zhenzhen rolled her eyes, looked at the time, and was about to go to work again, so she hurriedly lowered her head to eat.
Psyllium sneered: "Although I admire Zhou Huaiheng very much, he is my idol, but my boyfriend ...... Forget it, I'm not masochistic, why find someone who holds a grudge and has a poisonous tongue to block myself. β
"cough cough cough ......" Hearing psyllium's evaluation of Zhou Huaiheng, Tao Zhenzhen almost sprayed rice, but choked on herself.
Tao Zhenzhen glanced at her friend resentfully. It looks like she's masochistic!
************
Approaching the end of work, Tao Zhenzhen received a text message from psyllium: "Do you want to eat hot pot at night?" β
Tao Zhenzhen returned: "Do you have a treat?" It has to be there. β
Tao Zhenzhen thought that Psyllium had found some new restaurant to take her to try, but she followed Psyllium to the hot pot restaurant, only to find that it was not only the two of them who ate hot pot together, but also ...... A group of fencing team members.
Psyllium pulled Tao Zhenzhen, who hadn't reacted yet, to sit down, and said to the others present with a smile: "I'm sorry, the road is a little congested during the rush hour." β
"It's okay, it's just the right time, don't wait, just start eating." Captain Chen Shen said, shook a few pieces of mutton, and served them to his wife beside him.
Hou Xu unceremoniously handed the bowl over directly: "Brother Shen, I want it too!" β
Chen Shen was angry and funny: "It's so grinning." β
The table was happy, but Tao Zhenzhen was at a loss. It had been a long time since she had eaten so warmly with so many people, and besides, there were several people she had never seen before.
A piece of chicken breast landed in her bowl. Tao Zhenzhen raised her head and met Zhou Huaiheng's deep dark eyes. It turned out that he was sitting next to her.
Zhou Huaiheng's expression was natural, and he said lightly: "If you don't eat quickly, they will finish eating." β
"Oh......" Tao Zhenzhen was still a little stunned.
Zhou Huaiheng waved the chopsticks in his hand: "This is a chopstick, I haven't eaten it." β
"Huh? I didn't mind that...... No......" Tao Zhenzhen spoke incoherently, holding her forehead in distress, "I just think, what a coincidence." β
"Unfortunately, they made an appointment, although I just knew that you were coming too." Zhou Huaiheng said as he sandwiched beef, yams, corn, and balls into Tao Zhenzhen's bowl......
Tao Zhenzhen watched her bowl be filled at a speed visible to the naked eye, but Zhou Huaiheng seemed to be addicted and had no intention of stopping. Tao Zhenzhen hurriedly protected the bowl: "Enough is enough, I'll finish eating these first, and then clip it myself." β
Zhou Huaiheng took back his chopsticks and put the meat between the chopsticks into his bowl: "Hmm." β
Hou Xu coaxed without an eye: "Senior Brother Zhou, the dishes in the pot are going to be wiped out by you!" I'm starving to death, why don't you know to leave me some? β
Zhou Huaiheng raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.
Chen Shen's wife smiled and played round: "Don't worry, it's best to eat hot pot slowly, Ah Shen, add some more food to the pot." β
"Okay wife." Chen Shen got up and opened up.
Tao Zhenzhen pulled the hem of psyllium's clothes, lowered her voice and asked her, "What's the situation?" So many people, you don't even say a word to me! β
Psyllium asked, "Did I tell you you would come?" β
Tao Zhenzhen gritted her teeth: "Of course not!" β
"That's it, I'm sure I won't tell you." Psyllium looked around a table of people who had only been seen in the media, covered his fluttering little liver, and said with emotion, "If I don't pull you along, I'm afraid I'll faint to death with happiness, and then no one will pull me home." β
Tao Zhenzhen was convinced of this reason: "How did you call them out?" β
"Phone," Psyllium grinned proudly, "I seem to have forgotten to tell you that Jiang Shangliang left my mobile phone number for the signature given to me last time." β
"......" turned out that without Tao Zhenzhen's knowledge, psyllium had already hooked up with the fencing team.
Tao Zhenzhen looked up at Jiang Shangliang, who was sitting next to the psyllium. Jiang Shangliang noticed her gaze and bent his eyes and smiled at her gentlemanly.
Chen Shen suddenly raised his wine glass and stood up: "I wish us a successful start in the national championship!" β
Everyone stood up and clinked glasses: "Cheers!" β
Only Tao Zhenzhen couldn't figure out the situation, and stood up with the crowd in a daze, weakly raising the cup without clinking glasses.
Zhou Huaiheng looked at her ignorant appearance, and was in an inexplicably good mood, leaned down, leaned close to her ear, and explained to her: "We are going to Hefei to compete in two days." β
"Oh......" Tao Zhenzhen nodded, clearly. It turned out to be a pre-game party.
Tao Zhenzhen held the wine glass and gently touched Zhou Huaiheng's: "Then, come on!" β
The smile on her face is pure and bright, like a spring breeze in March.
Zhou Huaiheng was a little dazed.
