The news of Lu Ze's resignation soon spread throughout the general surgery department.

Lu Ze didn't intend to hide this matter.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Lu Ze doesn't value the deputy director of the department like a sweet and sweet iron rice bowl.

He just wanted to stand on his last shift.

In the afternoon of that day, Xu Hongdou accompanied Chen Nanxing to the First People's Hospital to prepare for a reexamination.

Both of them belong to the North Drifter tribe.

After returning from the physical examination yesterday, Chen Nanxing still chose to talk to her parents on the phone, she has always been a good news and not a bad person, if it wasn't for Xu Hongdou's insistence last night, maybe Chen Nanxing didn't plan to notify his parents at home.

It's just that the situation is far more serious than expected.

"Hongdou, you don't need to ask for leave to accompany me, it's just an in-depth examination."

Chen Nanxing didn't want his friends to take leave to accompany him to see a doctor.

But Xu Hongdou insisted on coming.

"You come by yourself, I'm not at ease."

"I'm not busy in the afternoon, so I can rush back in the evening."

The two girlfriends held each other's arms and walked into the hospital gate.

On the way to the general surgery building, they walked under the ginkgo tree from yesterday.

One night the autumn wind blew, and most of the golden ginkgo leaves hanging from the branches withered, and the whole tree looked bare, no longer the quiet beauty of yesterday's autumn leaves.

The afternoon sun was also obscured by dark clouds.

Sad spring and sad autumn.

Chen Nanxing's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness.

At this time, I only heard Xu Hongdou suddenly shouting: "Nanxing, look at it, handsome guy!" ”

Chen Nanxing looked in the direction of the red bean onion and jade finger, she suddenly laughed, and the figure in the white coat in her eyes was very familiar, just like yesterday at this moment.

Lu Ze, who had just finished lunch, also looked a little helpless.

Merely... It's a bit of a coincidence.

Yesterday it was Chen Nanxing shouting.

Today it is Xu Hongdou shouting.

"Dr. Lu."

"What a coincidence."

Chen Nanxing took the initiative to say hello.

Lu Ze found that her face had become a little pale, and he sighed silently in his heart.

Xu Hongdou just now obviously shouted so deliberately, probably because Chen Nanxing in a low mood was a little happier.

"Did you come for a review?"

"yes."

"That's good, come with me."

Lu Ze led the two of them towards the building of the General Surgery Department.

Along the way, Chen Nanxing was interested and chatted with Lu Ze.

On the contrary, Xu Hongdou, who was next to him, interjected from time to time to ask about patients and conditions similar to Chen Nanxing.

Although she relied on her intelligence to add to Lu Ze's WeChat, it was obviously not suitable to ask so many questions on WeChat.

For the sense of proportion, Xu Hongdou, as the lobby manager, certainly understands it very well.

Now Xu Hongdou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After getting to know her briefly, she generally knew that Director Lu was a doctor who was not so old-fashioned.

Today, as long as he inquires about the duty schedule of the pancreas department, Xu Hongdou will be able to accurately grasp the frequency and rhythm of chatting.

On the other side, Chen Nanxing chatted with Lu Ze very well.

"Director Lu."

"I know I'm presumptuous in asking for this."

"But may I ask, is it convenient for you to add a WeChat?"

Chen Nanxing took out his mobile phone.

Lu Ze noticed that the background of Chen Nanxing's mobile phone case was a photo of her and Xu Hongdou.

He nodded, "Convenient." ”

Chen Nanxing had a smile on his face, and quickly opened the sweep.

At this time, she didn't forget to give her good friend Xu Hongdou a look, as if to say, Hongdou, what are you doing in a daze, Hongdou, hurry up and add it, such an excellent chief physician, it doesn't hurt to add it.

Xu Hongdou glanced at Lu Ze quietly, blinked, and hesitated: "That, I... I'm not going to add it. ”

I actually added it this morning...

The corners of Lu Ze's mouth raised, but he didn't choose to dismantle Xu Hongdou.

The trio soon arrived at the pancreatic department.

Along the way, there were many people who said hello to Lu Ze.

Xu Hongdou was keenly aware that the doctors and nurses in the hospital looked at Lu Ze with different eyes.

After all, who would have thought that Lu Ze, who was thriving in the courtyard and became the youngest deputy director, would propose to resign, as if something that others regarded as a treasure was thrown away by Lu Ze at will.

Can the eyes not be strange?

"You two came a little early today."

"A lot of people in the department are still eating, so let's sit here and wait for a while."

Lu Ze took disposable paper cups for the two of them and poured a cup of hot water each.

Xu Hongdou held the hot water in her hand and said thank you to Lu Ze, because she had just been outside for a long time, her fair cheeks were a little rosy, and her long eyelashes became a little moist because of drinking hot water.

Chen Nanxing sighed lightly: "Doctor Lu, in my current situation, do I have to have surgery?" ”

Lu Ze didn't answer, but explained: "It still depends on the specific results of the examination later." ”

Soon, others in the department returned.

Lu Ze arranged a more detailed examination for Chen Nanxing in advance.

Xu Hongdou's hands at the door were tangled together, watching her best friend being pushed into the examination room, her heart was particularly uncomfortable.

Xu Hongdou quickly walked to Lu Ze's side, his eyes looked directly at Lu Ze, and the panic in his eyes was clearly visible: "Doctor Lu, did you mean just now... Nanxing, she may not even be able to do surgery? ”

Xu Hongdou's mind was extremely keen, and he sensed the meaning contained in Lu Ze's previous words.

Lu Ze nodded: "If the diagnosis is advanced pancreatic cancer, it is likely to be based on conservative treatment, and the purpose of conservative treatment is to make the patient stable... Leave. ”

Xu Hongdou was in a daze, she directly grabbed Lu Ze's sleeve with a trembling hand, and tears flowed from her face.

"Really... Is there no other way? ”

"Nanxing is a very good person, she is kind, enthusiastic, full of kindness to the world, she is only thirty years old, she has not yet been in a passionate relationship, and she has not seen the scenery she wants to see."

"Why is this the case?"

Lu Ze looked pitiful.

He had no way to treat this terminal pancreatic cancer.

The best result may be to let the stupid girl take action to alleviate the development of Chen Nanxing's condition and relieve the pain to the greatest extent.

The results of the examination came back quickly.

There was no problem with Lu Ze's judgment.

Chen Nanxing looked at the diagnosis report in her hand in a daze, and was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer, her emotions at the moment were complicated and difficult to understand, and she didn't expect that the end of her life would come so quickly.

I... I haven't been in a big relationship yet!

The doctor in charge of the examination reminded: "It's best to go to the hospital now, your condition is not good, is your family here?" ”

Chen Nanxing did not react.

It wasn't until Xu Hongdou came over that her thoughts were pulled back to reality.

Chen Nanxing looked at the best friend around her who was already crying and wearing makeup at this time, and the strong sadness finally shrouded Chen Nanxing's heart, she was not sad for her own illness and body, but for the red beans around her and her parents who were rushing to Kyoto.

"Okay, don't cry."

"It's not like I'm not here now."

Xu Hongdou quickly became stronger.

She quickly called the leader of the hotel, directly asked for the leave tonight and tomorrow morning, and then planned to go to handle the payment and Nanxing's admission: "I know... I'll go get you admitted first, and you'll lie down here. ”

When he came to the corridor, Xu Hongdou, who had no owner, forgot where to go to the hospital.

"Hello, it's Ms. Xu, right?"

"Director Lu asked me to come over and help you with the hospitalization, if there is anything else, just tell me."

A female nurse came to Xu Hongdou's side.

The latter nodded stunned, sighing at Lu Ze's delicate thoughts.

With Nanxing's ID card and medical insurance card, Xu Hongdou successfully handled the information registration and admission, and when he went upstairs, he learned from the families of other patients that the beds in the hospital were very tight.

"Favors..."

"I have to repay people's favors in the future."

Xu Hongdou silently wrote down this account in the account book in his heart.

She is a very bookkeeper.

"Nurse Li, I'm sorry for you."

"Thank you Director Lu for me."

The middle-aged nurse shook her head with a smile, and then sighed: "Director Lu is a very good person, it's just a pity..."

Xu Hongdou frowned: "What?" ”

"Director Lu submitted his resignation, and it is estimated that he will leave during this time."

Xu Hongdou clutched the bill of hospitalization in his hand, and his heart was mixed.

Are you quitting?

.......

Lu Ze's work is still busy.

Although his resignation letter has been handed in, it will take time to handle the resignation and work handover, and the chief doctor of a public tertiary hospital is not like an employee of a private company after all.

If Lu Ze hadn't said hello to Vice President Gong in advance, it wouldn't have been so simple to leave.

Otherwise, Director Wang would not have come over to persuade Lu Ze twice in three days.

Lu Ze's chat with Xu Hongdou on WeChat gradually increased.

Chen Nanxing's condition is serious.

Now the news of Lu Ze's resignation has also reached her ears.

【Dr. Luk】

[I heard, you seem to have the idea of a job transfer? 】

After driving home, Lu Ze smiled dumbly when he saw this news.

Xu Hongdou... He's a person who pays a lot of attention to his speech and demeanor.

This may have something to do with the nature of her work.

【Yes】

[I'm going to change the environment]

Lu Ze's message quickly replied.

In the eyes of those colleagues in the hospital, Lu Ze has not been a doctor for long.

But in fact, Lu Ze has been immersed in medicine for too many years, and is extremely proficient in clinical medicine and research medicine.

At present, Lu Ze is not interested in continuing to be a doctor in the capital's tertiary hospital.

Change the environment.

Adopt a different way of living.

On the other side of WeChat, Xu Hongdou was silent for a long time.

Lu Ze seems to be a doctor that she and Chen Nanxing trust very much, not that the level of other doctors in the hospital is not enough, but that Lu Ze gives people a feeling that is different from other doctors.

The two of them are probably the ones who feel it most clearly.

Chen Nanxing's parents rushed over by high-speed train that night.

In the following days, Xu Hongdou was still like a cog in a pendulum clock, from home to hotel to hospital, the original life of two points and one line became three points and one line.

For the first time, she felt the impermanence of life and death up close, but this impermanence happened to her best friend.

Chen Nanxing's body became weaker and weaker.

And when she knew that Lu Ze was going to resign, she might not be able to serve as her attending physician.

Chen Nanxing was even more silent.

......

At noon on Saturday, the sun was shining.

The phone rang to wake up Lu Ze, who was still asleep, and the caller ID was an unfamiliar number.

Lu Ze's mind instantly appeared with the business card of the hotel lobby manager.

The phone was connected, and a familiar and somewhat pleasant voice rang out.

"Dr. Lu."

"It's me, Xu Hongdou."

Lu Ze came to his senses, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone: "Xu Hongdou... Why don't you call me WeChat? ”

WeChat voice, at least one more note.

Xu Hongdou over there was silent for a moment before continuing: "I sent you WeChat, but you didn't reply to me." ”

Lu Ze had a strange expression.

Only then did he notice that there were several unread red dot messages on WeChat.

"Ah, that's right."

"I'm sorry, because I'm still sleeping."

Xu Hongdou said the purpose of her contact with Lu Ze: "Is it convenient to meet?" I want to treat you to a meal. ”

Lu Ze's lunch seems to have been settled.

Coincidentally, the dormitory assigned by Xu Hongdou Hotel is not far from the district where Lu Ze is located.

The place where the two of them made an appointment was a Chinese restaurant with okay specifications.

The cool breeze in mid-September blows the hair of a thirty-two-year-old beautiful woman, Xu Hongdou on the side of the road is wearing a plush shirt with a long collar, and the outside is a white shirt without sleeves and shoulders, and her tender white cheeks look like a twenty-year-old girl, forming a beautiful landscape on the side of the street.

She stood on the side of the road, fiddling with her phone with her head down.

Pedestrians and drivers passing by have a lot of eyes on this beautiful woman with a good temperament and figure.

"Dr. Lu."

"This way."

Putting away the phone, Xu Hongdou waved at Lu Ze, who came over, with a shallow smile on his face.

Compared with the first time the two of them met, today's smile is undoubtedly more sincere and intimate.

Lu Ze simply cleaned up and rushed over.

But Lu Ze, who took off his white coat, looked much more handsome and elegant.

It's not in the hospital, and it's two people who get along alone in private, so the atmosphere is relatively weird.

"Disturb your normal rest."

"I'm sorry."

"You... What you want to eat. ”

"I'm in for a treat!"

Xu Hongdou volunteered.

But in fact, Lu Ze could also feel that the mood of the woman opposite was not as calm as she looked.

Possible... Haven't eaten alone with a man in a long time?

"Then let's eat something simple."

"Two donburps."

Xu Hongdou's expression was a little strange.

For this meal today, she actually deliberately dressed herself, so she just received a lot of scrutiny on the street.

It's just that I didn't expect the simplicity in Lu Ze's mouth... It would be that simple.

She still nodded: "Then two rice bowls?" ”

Please eat became a real meal.

Xu Hongdou watched Lu Ze, who was sitting opposite her, eating slowly, and the tension in her heart gradually dissipated.

Ten minutes to settle the battle.

Lu Ze took out a napkin and wiped his mouth.

He looked at Xu Hongdou on the opposite side and said with a smile: "Okay, eat your soft mouth." ”

"If there's anything, just say it."
