Medical road ahead

"Syringoma? What kind of skin disease is this? Is it skin cancer?"

Qiao Tan was bewildered, and suddenly felt that he had encountered a blank spot in his medical knowledge.

Instead of replying to Pingguo immediately, she sent an inquiry to Zhang Xiaoling, an expert in dermatology at the Dermatology Department, "Doctor Zhang, what kind of skin disease is syringoma?"

Zhang Xiaoling replied quickly: "This is a rare benign tumor with unknown etiology. It belongs to a type of sweat gland tumor that differentiates into ducts (terminal sweat ducts). Generally, no treatment is needed because this tumor usually does not harm the patient's body." body, but it is difficult to subside on its own, and if treatment is needed, laser or surgery can be more effective."

"Understood, thank you."

After thanking Zhang Xiaoling, Qiao Tan sent another message to Pingguo: "Are you suffering from syringoma?"

"Yes! And it's serious, eyelids, underarms, neck, arms and thighs, even"

After a pause, Pingguo sent another message, "Private place!"

"You take some time to come to our hospital for an examination, and I will recommend you an expert doctor." Qiao Tan replied.

"Well, thank you, Joe Tan."

Afterwards, the two made an appointment, and Qiao Tan returned to the hospital with Xiaoxue, who was already full and hiccupping.

After returning, she found Zhang Xiaoling and asked for some medical records about syringoma for research.

Zhang Xiaoling said: "Syringoma is very easy to be confused with flat warts, piloma, and chestnut papules, so I don't know if your friend's situation is like this, and I can only diagnose her after seeing her with my own eyes and examining her. "

"Well, she didn't tell me the details. I'll take her to you when she comes to the hospital tomorrow."

Qiao Tan nodded, said goodbye to Zhang Xiaoling, and then returned to his office to deal with the rest of the day's work.

While she was busy writing the report, WeChat suddenly rang. She thought it was some change of mind on Pingguo's side, but when she clicked on it, she found that it was a message from Wei Junyan.

"Yaoyao, do you know that Qin Xiao has an illegitimate child?"

Qiao Tan was startled, and immediately replied: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Wei Junyan did not explain, but sent a photo of a little boy.

"This is."

Qiao Tan felt that the little boy in the photo looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he didn't remember it for the time being.

"His name is Qin Xi'er, and he is Qin Xiao's son. As for who his mother is, I haven't found out yet."

Immediately afterwards, Wei Junyan sent another message.

Qin Xiao's son?
Qiao Tan's face paled, she couldn't believe it, she held the phone tightly for a long time, as if petrified, but her heart was turbulent and tumbling.

Seeing that Qiao Tan didn't reply for a long time, Wei Junyan sent another post, "It seems that you really don't know."

Hearing the WeChat ring again, Qiao Tan slowly came back to his senses, glanced at the message from Wei Junyan, put down his phone, and continued to write the report
"It will be Christmas soon, what kind of Christmas gift does Dr. Joe want?"

After get off work, Qiao Tan got into Qin Xiao's car as usual, and he drove him home.

"what?"

The absent-minded Qiao Tan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him blankly, and said hoarsely, "I'm not a child, what kind of Christmas is it?"

child?
She suddenly thought of the photo of the child that Wei Junyan sent, and finally remembered that she had seen a photo of a boy of the same age in Qin Xiao's phone album.

Thinking back carefully now, the children in these two photos are [-]% alike.

"In my eyes, you are just a child."

Qin Xiao smiled, stretched out his hand lovingly to caress Qiao Tan's head, but the latter avoided him abruptly.

"What's wrong? I washed my hands carefully when I got off work." Qin Xiao was puzzled.

Qiao Tan licked his dry lips, rubbed his hands again, and then lowered his head and asked, "Do you often buy Christmas presents for children?"

"Fortunately."

Qin Xiao replied concisely.

"Then this Christmas, will you give gifts to the children?" Qiao Tan asked again, and turned to look at him.

Qin Xiao quickly noticed something was wrong, parked the car on the side of the road, turned to look at Qiao Tan, frowned and asked, "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter any trouble at work?"

"Are you hiding something from me?" Qiao Tan asked back.

"I?"

Qin Xiao was even more puzzled, pointing to the tip of his nose, he smiled and asked, "What can I hide from you? I even reported the size of my underpants to you."

Hearing this, Qiao Tan blushed instantly, and some embarrassing scenes appeared in front of her eyes, making her at a loss, not knowing how to continue asking.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao gave a wicked smile, then lowered his head, bit her earlobe lightly, and asked in a whisper, "How about, can you buy me some new underpants as a Christmas present?"

"do not want!"

Qiao Tan immediately pushed him away, and then moved towards the door.

"Yaoyao, what's the matter with you?"

Qin Xiao frowned and looked at her carefully.

"woooooo"

After a while, Qiao Tan, who really couldn't ask the question, simply covered his face and sobbed, and Qin Xiao rushed to embrace her in his arms, "Yaoyao, did I do something wrong that made you feel wronged?"

"Mmmm."

Qiao Tan leaned in his arms and nodded falteringly.

Qin Xiao's brows were furrowed deeper, and his tone became softer, "Then tell me, and I'll change it, okay?"

"You can't change it." Qiao Tan cried.

Qin Xiao smiled, "What else can't be changed? Except gender. Of course, gender can also be changed, but I think you don't want me and you to become sisters."

"You have a son!" Qiao Tan said bravely.

After saying that, he stopped talking, and even the crying became smaller.

Qin Xiao was silent for a while before asking in a deep voice, "Do you know about Qin Xi'er?"

"Is he really your son?"

Qiao Tan hurriedly raised his head to look at him, with tears still in his eyes.

"It is."

Qin Xiao nodded without denying it, but this answer made Qiao Tan suspicious.

"Is it? Could it be that he is not your illegitimate son, but you adopted him?" Qiao Tan asked with a frown.

Qin Xiao pursed his lips, and simply drove the car into the parking lot of a nearby shopping mall, then took Qiao Tan into a coffee shop, and ordered two cups of coffee and two desserts for the two of them.

"I can't eat so much at night." Qiao Tan frowned.

Qin Xiao Jieyi, "Whoever said it's all for you, one serving per person."

"Don't you don't eat dessert?" Qiao Tan wondered.

Qin Xiao explained: "Because dessert can relax the mood."

Hearing this, Qiao Tan seemed to smell a bloody storm from Qin Xiao's calm and calm at the moment, and then picked up the spoon, scooped up the tiramisu in front of him one by one, and waited for Qin Xiao to say something. own secret.

As the night grew darker, the flow of people and vehicles on the street gradually decreased, and even the customers in this coffee shop left one after another, leaving only a few tables of customers still enjoying the fragrant coffee and embracing the night.

It wasn't until Qiao Tan ate most of the plate of tiramisu that Qin Xiao opened his mouth slowly. His magnetic voice was set off by light music, and it was more gentle, but mixed with a touch of sadness.

"Xi'er is my sister's son, my nephew."
