A week after the operation, the nerve pain did not recover well, the director of the pain department came to consult, and after the physical examination, he smiled and said: "Observe for a few days first, let's do a minimally invasive surgery!" ”

When Mom and Dad heard that it was another operation, they came up in a panic, and you asked the doctor one by one how to do the operation and what kind of surgery to do. The director smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll let Dr. Xiao Wu explain it to you later, but we don't necessarily have to do this operation, and we will observe it for two more days, mainly depending on the patient's recovery." ”

After the director left, his parents surrounded Dr. Wu and asked this and that. Dr. Wu looked more like a good-looking child, although he was already a doctoral student and should be older than me, but his long-term campus life made him look like he was only in his early twenties. Such a face that has not gone through the vicissitudes of time and the vicissitudes of the world should have such a beautiful and happy life. If Zhang Teng is here, he will definitely be ashamed of himself, his age is not too much, and he is not as good as Dr. Wu.

Dr. Wu was not in a hurry, he said to his parents: "That's it, uncle and aunt, you go to my office and wait for me first, there is a spine model, and I will answer you one by one for that model." Now I have to talk to the patient. Mom and Dad were very cooperative and went to his office to wait for him.

After my parents left, Dr. Wu pulled the chair to the head of my bed and sat down. He didn't speak at first, but looked at me with a smile, and if he looked closely, he would show a small tiger tooth when he laughed, which was very similar to Shaoyang, and he couldn't help but want to look at it twice. Only then did I realize that I still have that heartbeat, just like I did many years ago.

"How are you feeling lately?" Dr. Wu was the first to break the silence.

"It's fine." I lied.

He smiled and continued, "There is an area on the neck of the human neck behind the ears called the hippocampus, and this place is responsible for the emotions of the person. The sympathetic nervous system connected to the hippocampus responds to human pain. That is to say, when the person's mood is not too good, the nerves in the hippocampus will be abnormally excited, thus stimulating the sympathetic nerves connected to it to excite, so that the person's pain perception will become stronger. ”

I stared into his eyes and asked, "Do you doctors like to say that human emotions magnify people's pain?" In this way, wouldn't it be possible to cure pain that cannot be detected by modern medicine by treating it with emotion? ”

He was first stunned by my question, then sat up straight, and said, "I didn't say that, but what I just told you has a scientific basis!" ”

I was amused by his serious appearance and said to him, "Look, I'm in a good mood and can joke with you, but the places in my body still hurt!" ”

"Don't worry," he returned to his usual comforting normalcy as a doctor, "Didn't the director say, observe for two more days, if it still hurts, do a minimally invasive work, and we will manually intervene on the nerves." ”

I looked at him with a smile, and for some reason, at that moment, I seemed to see Shaoyang.

"Say what? So happy! Zhang Teng walked in.

"It's nothing, Dr. Wu told me the story of a seahorse." I replied.

"Huh?" Zhang Teng was puzzled.

Dr. Xiao Wu greeted Zhang Teng, introduced himself as a doctor in the pain department, and then asked me with a smile: "This is your boyfriend?" ”

"It's not." I replied.

Dr. Wu said to Zhang Teng: "The patient may still need to have a minimally invasive surgery, and my uncle and aunt are waiting for me in the office, do you want to go over and listen to it?" ”

"I just came from your director, and he told me everything." Zhang Teng replied.

Dr. Wu nodded in understanding, and then left.

After Dr. Wu left, Zhang Teng looked at me with a wicked smile and said, "It's immoral to flirt with someone older than you." ”

"I didn't!" Naturally, I had to defend myself, because I really didn't flirt with him, I just felt that his appearance reminded me of Shaoyang.

Zhang Teng sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at me for a long time, until I was so uncomfortable that he avoided his gaze. After a while, he said: "Today your landlord called you, saying that the rent is due, and asked if you want to continue renting?" I told her to wait until you asked before I got back to her. ”

"Then the landlady must be going to increase the price, right?"

"Well, that's what she said." Zhang Teng replied.

The house used to be associated with me for a story, and it used to carry many of the plots of the story, but now that the story is gone, what is the point of keeping that house for me, it's just to add sadness.

"Quit, don't rent it." After speaking, I remembered the two small wood carvings that Zhang Teng had given me, so I said to him: "No, the two wood carvings you gave me are still inside." ”

Zhang Teng smiled, he leaned towards me, his eyebrows smiled, "I can't imagine that you care so much about the gift I give you!" ”

"That was my first gift in the workplace! It's different! ”

If you want to say that you care about something, it's not just those two small wood carvings. The necklaces of the two red wolves are inside, the bubbles are inside, the things I brought back from my trip with Shaoyang, all the things with strong memories, even the engagement ring is in the house.

"I've carved it to you too many times, and the two I gave it to you may not be the most satisfying work for me."

"Hmm." I nodded to him and narrowed my eyes slightly.

On the day we parted, I lay in bed and rubbed that little ring. It left a white mark on my middle finger. It slid down the floor, cracking with a cracking heart.

"The doctor said that it is best for you not to sleep during the day, so that the quality of sleep at night will be better," Zhang Teng saw that I closed my eyes and squinted for a short time as if I was about to fall asleep, so he talked to me, "Guoguo clamored to come to see you, and I told her that this room is too small to fit her live rabbit." ”

Thinking of Guoguo's mood will improve, "I used to be a rabbit like her. ”

"Yes! I'll feed you some grass that night! Zhang Teng joked.

I suddenly remembered Shen Qi, so I hurriedly asked Zhang Teng what day it was. Her wedding is less than a week away.

"Zhang Teng, I have to call Shen Qi. Her wedding was just a few days away, and I agreed to be a bridesmaid for her, and now that I'm like this, I can't be a bridesmaid and I'm going to have to talk to her," I said, "and she asked me to tell you that she's married." ”

Zhang Teng's face was expressionless, "I'll call her and tell her." ”

Mom and Dad didn't know what they heard from Dr. Wu from Xiao, and when they came back, they said one sentence and I said another, but they didn't see that sentence next to that sentence, and they didn't know what they wanted to say, and then I couldn't listen to it anymore, so I simply told my mother that I was hungry and wanted to eat boiled beef.

My mom immediately said, "That's not good, boiled beef is spicy, which is not good for your wound healing." Besides, beef is a hair food, you can't eat it right now! ”

"Mom's cooking skills are so good, she will definitely be able to make boiled beef that is not spicy. I'll just eat a little bit, and it won't affect the wound. "I was spoiled to my mother like a child.

The father said, "The child finally wants to eat something, so you can do it!" "It seems that it's better to be dad.

Mom finally relented, "Okay, I'll go back and do it." ”

Zhang Teng said: "It's time for me to go back to the company, I'll send you!" ”

After they left, my dad sat next to me and chatted with me. The afternoon sun crept into the room and shone warmly. My dad told me about the fun things I had when I was a kid and how naughty I was. There were things I remembered, some things I didn't, but he remembered them clearly, and spoke them vividly, as if they had happened yesterday.

When he said that he was tired, lazy, and sleepy-eyed sitting on the chair, I touched his hand full of traces of time, and said softly: "Dad, you did the right thing four years ago." ”

He smiled as if he heard and fell asleep in his chair.
