Midsummer (2)

These words made the man chuckle, "Very good, then I don't have to worry about me scaring you." ”

"How could you scare me?" Xia Ning said seriously: "You are the person I trust the most in this world." ”

Derek's eyes became deeper and more unfathomable.

He took the water cup that Xia Ning had put aside, "I'll help you add some more hot water." ”

"Dr. Derek," Xia Ning called to him, "can I see what you look like?" ”

"What do I look like?" The man asked quietly.

Xia Ning nodded, with a sincere face: "I'm just curious about what you look like, we've known each other for a long time, but I don't know what you look like." ”

"Is there any need to know?" The man's tone was calm, with some detachment, and he said, "Miss Xia Ning, leaving this ward, there will be no intersection between us. ”

After he finished speaking, as if he was afraid that his words would not hurt people's hearts enough, he added: "The best relationship between a patient and a doctor is to leave the room and not know each other." ”

Xia Ning was stunned by his sudden indifference, but now she was used to the division and integration of this world, and soon, she smiled with relief.

"You're right, there is no banquet in the world that will never be dispersed, and there will indeed be no intersection between us." Xia Ning paused, and his tone was calm: "What I said just now, I was presumptuous, it's not early, I'll go home first, Dr. Derek, you also get off work early." ”

The man didn't speak, still with his back to her, quietly adding hot water to her.

He picked up the teacup with hot water again, and when he turned around and was about to walk towards Xia Ning, he saw that the place where the person was sitting just now was empty at this time, and the door was also in front of the man, slowly closing.

The man smiled helplessly and slowly took off his mask.

It was Meng Yanxi's face.

The moonlight was lonely, and he walked to the window and saw that Xia Ning was already standing at the door of the clinic, taking a taxi.

The little nurse pushed the door and walked in, looking at the man who was staring at the direction of the door motionless, and couldn't help but be confused: "Mr. Meng likes Miss Xia very much, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"Then why." The little nurse frowned and asked puzzledly, "Why do you want to make people angry?" I heard that Miss Xia is single, if Mr. Meng likes it, you can chase it. ”

"No more chasing." Meng Yanxi paused, and his voice became softer, as if he sighed: "She will be scared when she sees me." ”

The little nurse didn't know about the relationship between the two, so she couldn't understand why the man in front of her seemed so lonely and depressed at this moment.

Even the back reveals a sense of depression.

The little nurse shook her head and left puzzled.

Meng Yanxi still remembers how nervous he was when he first sat in front of Xia Ning as Dr. Derek.

The little girl in front of her, in order to hide herself, ran away from thousands of mountains and rivers.

She must have endured a lot of hardships and sufferings to look so fragile and pale.

Meng Yanxi was clearly told that her feelings gave her only infinite pain.

And Xia Ning at that time, if he had the peace and sobriety he has now, he would easily notice the strangeness of men.

But she was too busy to take care of herself, and said in a hoarse voice, "Dr. Derek, I am sick. ”

It's a heart disease that takes a lot of time to repair.

Meng Yanxi looked at her pale and emaciated face, and at that moment, countless complicated emotions came to her heart.

He clenched the pen in his hand and tried to keep his voice steady: "Please tell me your story, Miss Xia." ”

Later, what Xia Ning told himself was actually what the two experienced together.

Just look at things from different angles, and there will be a world of difference.

"When I married my ex-husband, I was only 22 years old. At that time, my parents selected the man with the most gentle temper and personality among many famous sons. When Xia Ning spoke, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, which was a gesture of recollection, making it difficult to see the general emotion in his eyes.

Her voice was slow, and she spoke again, still very soft: "I know that my parents hope that I can have a good home, at least in the eyes of everyone at that time, Meng Yanxi is a good home, not to mention"

A faint sadness appeared on her face, as if she was blaming herself for her decision: "What's more, I love him very much." ”

When Meng Yanxi heard the word 'love', his eyes were uncontrollably wet.

And Xia Ning's bitter smile intensified, and her lips trembled a little: "I don't know what's going on, at least at the beginning, I reminded myself not to fall in love with him, there is a marriage between us, since it is a marriage, there shouldn't be too many other emotions."

"But you're still in love." Meng Yanxi took Xia Ning's words, his throat was bitter, but he still had to maintain a casual tone, and asked calmly: "Later, why don't you love it?" ”

"Because I found that no matter how perfect I am, he won't love me, he already has someone else in his heart, that girl I've seen." Xia Ning pursed her lips, her expression showed guilt, and her hands tightened uneasily: "I was even jealous of that girl, because of jealousy, I almost did something irreparable." ”

"Since it's almost, it's just that nothing has been done." Meng Yanxi's tone was slightly sudden, and he was even more gentle: "You really shouldn't be too yourself. ”

Xia Ning raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were red, and his eyes were moist: "But. . . I hurt her. ”

"Xia Ning." Meng Yanxi lowered his voice, and tried to say calmly and objectively as a bystander: "You didn't do anything wrong, it was your ex-husband who didn't handle his feelings well that made you suffer so much, so all of this is not your fault." ”

The woman covered her face, and at this moment, tears rained down.

Meng Yanxi saw the tears wet in her fingers, saw her fragility, and saw her helplessness.

Later, he forgot how the first consultation ended.

The two of them seemed to get acquainted again, and Xia Ning in front of him attracted him more than before.

Meng Yanxi will always remember that after the first consultation, Xia Ning raised his clear and clean eyes, looked at him, and said so seriously: "Doctor Derek, I like to chat with you very much, if you can, I hope you can accompany me out of the haze." ”

Meng Yanxi only felt that this was the compensation he should give Xia Ning.

It is because of him that Xia Ning has come to where he is now.

Love gives birth to fangs, hurting others and hurting oneself.

And at this moment, in country C, which is full of snow, Meng Yanxi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time, looking at the snow scene outside.

Xia Ning has been gone for a long time, but he has the illusion that the girl has set off a wave of typhoid fever in his world, and it will not be cured for a long, long time.

The little nurse was also ready to leave work, and when she was leaving, she pushed the door of the consultation room again.

"Derek, are you coming back tomorrow?"

The little nurse knew that in fact, the man was not in country C most of the time, and it seemed that every time he came over, it was just to have a long talk with Xia Ning for a while.

"Tomorrow." The man's tone paused slightly, and he said softly: "During this time, I will stay in country C." ”

In the next few treatments, Xia Ning came according to the time.

It's just that there seems to be a gap between the two, so there is no superfluous conversation.

"Next week will be the last time." Meng Yanxi wrote down the diagnosis in the medical record book and said softly: "What are your plans in the future?" ”

"Does anything I have to do with you in the future? Get out of this ward, and we'll have no relationship. Xia Ning's voice was complaining and undisguised, "Dr. Derek should really hope that I, an annoying patient, will never appear again, right?" ”

There was a helpless smile on Meng Yanxi's face.

He finally raised his eyes and looked squarely at the girl in front of him who was losing her temper, "Miss Xia, the reason why you want to keep a distance between doctors and patients is to protect patients, your dependence on me will become a bargaining chip for me to hurt you unscrupulously." ”

Xia Ning's heart tightened, and in the man's serious tone, he chewed out sincerity.

"So, you're not letting me look at you, also so that I don't become the weaker party?"

"Yes, Miss Xia, the relationship between us ends in this consultation room, and it is the best result for you."

The knot in my heart seems to be untied at this moment, but looking at the days to come, it seems that I can see the end of the bland at a glance.

Xia Ning's heart was filled with embarrassment, she smiled helplessly, and said softly: "This is the best result, in addition to accepting it, is there a second way to go?" ”

Meng Yanxi was stunned.

Xia Ning looked at him seriously, those eyes were too bright, and Meng Yanxi even felt that Xia Ning might have recognized him in some moments.

But this was obviously just his delusion, Xia Ning didn't recognize him, she just relied on him.

"Dr. Derek, I still hope that we can be friends who talk about everything."

Meng Yanxi smiled helplessly, he looked at Xia Ning for a long time, and his tone was serious and serious: "Miss Xia, if you are friends with me, you will suffer." ”

Xia Ning didn't know if he believed it or not, so he finally stopped the topic and didn't ask any more.

Later, Meng Yanxi ended the treatment and sent Xia Ning to the door of the hospital.

They were pitted against each other in the light snow and set the time for the last consultation.

"Next Wednesday."

Xia Ning smiled and stretched out his hand to Meng Yanxi, "Then I'll see you next Wednesday, Doctor Derek." ”

Meng Yanxi wanted to hold Xia Ning's hand tighter out of selfishness.

But he didn't, he just shook it lightly and then let go.

He calmly sent Xia Ning away, and did not tell her that from today onwards, every minute and every second, he would begin to look forward to this last meeting.

He appeared in front of her for the last time as Dr. Derek.

Xia Ning saw the child several more times before going to psychotherapy for the last time.

Maybe it's fate, the two soon became good friends who talked about everything.

Xia Ning pieced together a perfect and warm family from the child's mouth, and was obviously very happy for this child, but I don't know why, my eyes were still moist when I listened.

"Sister, why are you crying?" The child was puzzled and looked at her with an ignorant gaze.

Xia Ning wiped her tears indiscriminately and said with a smile: "The wind is too strong, my eyes are confused." ”

The child believed it and asked her if she was feeling better now, and if she was still uncomfortable?

Xia Ning's heart seemed to be soaked in ice water, frozen to numbness.

Is it uncomfortable?

Of course it's uncomfortable.

She thought of her child who died young, and maybe for the rest of her life, there was still no way to forget it.

The last consultation, in the orderly march of time, arrived as scheduled.

Xia Ning sat in front of Derek and could see the floor-to-ceiling window behind the man, revealing a white snowy scene.

They seem to have been talking for a long, long time, and it seems like they have just begun.

Xia Ning saw that the hour hand had already passed three numbers, but he didn't seem to be tired at all, and even had a feeling of unfinished.

Derek put down his pen, and the medical notebook, and there was a soft, small tenderness in his eyes.

"Okay, this is our last treatment, Miss Xia, thank you very much for your cooperation with my work during this time."

"I" Xia Ning pursed her lips, blinked, and asked in a low voice: "Then we won't see each other in the future?" ”

"yes, I'm going to leave the country." The man's tone was calm, "Country C is very good, but I'm not from here, and I can't stay here for the rest of my life." ”

"So, where are you going?" Xia Ning said, "Where is Dr. Derek from? ”

"A small country, you probably won't hear of it, after all, it's not necessarily on the map." The man's words were funny, perhaps because the treatment was completely over, and his mood was relaxed, "Anyway, I should go out for a walk." ”

"What if. Would it be convenient if you brought me along? ”

There was apology in the man's eyes, but Xia Ning saw it clearly, so it was not surprising to hear his answer.

"Probably. Not very convenient. ”

"And what about showing me your face?" Xia Ning stretched out two fingers and swore an oath: "Even if you are really ugly, I won't laugh at you!" ”

"Nope." Without the slightest hesitation, he rejected Xia Ning's proposal, and looking at the little girl bowing her head in frustration, he said softly: "I will definitely not look like you." ”

So even if it was the last time they met, Xia Ning still didn't see Dr. Derek's appearance.

This is undoubtedly a regrettable thing.

What is even more regrettable is that the snow season in country C is coming to an end, and there is no spring in country C, and the temperature will become extremely warm as soon as the snow melts.

This is the experience that Xia Ning gained from living here last year.

The midsummer in country C is really difficult and long.

And now, this midsummer has unconsciously shown signs of invasion.

Xia Ning sat in the small room, a little disappointed, thinking, perhaps, it was indeed time to leave.

Flights are plentiful, and there is still a surplus for every flight.

Xia Ning bought a ticket casually, packed the few luggage, and prepared to leave here.

She didn't alarm anyone, and until she got on the plane, she just walked with her head down.

However, when I was queuing up to find a seat on the plane, I had not yet passed the first class cabin, and a passenger in front of me suddenly stopped.

Xia Ning subconsciously paused, and saw the man sitting beside him, a familiar side face.

The day after tomorrow, see you in your new book "Returning to Hong Kong with Rain", which is expected to be updated in mid-to-late April~

The Xiangjiang River was raining continuously, and Bian Yue was sitting in the hall of the Shen family, her hair dripping down. She is too embarrassed, she peeks at the masculinity in the dim light, her posture is confusing, and the word "marriage" has no confidence.

After a short silence, Shen Jinci didn't even raise his eyes, and his voice was calm and gorgeous: "Okay." ”

A marriage was done in a hurry, and the visitors were in an uproar.

After marriage, I met Li Siheng again, it was Bian Yue who was hiding from the rain on the side of the road, the man rushed out of the car, and ran to himself with all his demeanor, he clasped her hand and said in a dumb voice, "Bian Yue, you divorce him, I will marry you." ”

That night, Shen Jin, who was on a business trip abroad, returned home quietly, and sat opposite Bian Yue, who only returned home in the middle of the night.

The man's lighter grinding wheel brushed, the firelight jumped, and the contours of his face became more charming in the night, he took a puff of cigarette and snuffed it out, strode to Bian Yue, and grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her fiercely.
