Personal matters

After a whole night, he finally didn't have a fever anymore. When he woke up in the morning, Lin Zhen felt relaxed.

He turned his head to look at the couch next to him. The used blankets and pillows were neatly piled up at one end, but the person sleeping on it had disappeared.

He found his mobile phone, called and lied to his mother, saying that he was busy with his project and had no time to go home at night, so he might have to sleep in the laboratory for a few days.Gu Qing didn't doubt that he was there, he only told him to be careful of the cold and warm, chatted for a few words and then hung up.

Lin Zhen sat on the edge of the bed and started a boring day.

He walked into the bathroom, and Liu Qitong had already prepared a toothbrush and towel for him at some point.He squeezed the toothpaste and looked up to see his face reflected in the mirror.

——It’s really full of bags...

He sighed, remembering the kiss last night, he couldn't help but think amusedly, that guy could actually kiss such a face?

Looking up again, the person in the mirror had a faint smile, and seemed a little happy no matter how he looked at it.

……………………………………………………………

During the period of recuperating at Liu Qi Tong's family, it can be said that Lin Zhen had the most leisurely time in the past ten years.

There is no need to make rounds during the day, and I lie on the bed and sleep doing nothing.When someone came home from get off work in the afternoon, he would always bring a lot of food, which made Lin Zhen feel like he was at home waiting to be fed.

Every day after dinner, Liu Qitong would wipe his body with a warm towel, and then make the bed again so that he could sleep comfortably on the warm bedding.

After everything was done, the two would read quietly in the bedroom without talking to each other, and occasionally exchanged a few words when they saw something interesting.

9:[-] p.m. is the time set by Liu Qitong to turn off the lights.Whether Lin Zhen wanted it or not, he would forcibly take away the books in his hands, press him to lie down and cover him with a quilt.

Gradually, the color of the blisters on my body changed from clear to turbid, which was a sign of an imminent recovery. However, the itching became more and more severe.Lin Zhen had to endure desperately every day to restrain the urge to scratch with his hands.

Liu Qitong saw that he was in pain, so he ordered a topical lotion from the hospital.So after brushing his body every day, there was another service item, which was to help Lin Zhen apply the potion.

Later, the pimples on my body fell off like scabs, and the skin on the affected area returned to normal color, and it was not at all obvious that I had been sick.

Lin Zhen was most gratified that the herpes on his head finally faded away, revealing a clean face again.God knows how long it has been since he dared not look directly at Liu Qitong.

After falling asleep that night, Lin Zhen couldn't help but speak out what was hidden in his heart.

"Liu Qitong, you actually know how to take care of people."

"Hmm..." The other party replied lazily lying on the sofa.

"Is there no girl who likes you...it seems impossible."

"I don't pay much attention to such things." Liu Qitong replied lightly.

"Then you..." Lin Zhen hesitated to speak.

"Just ask what you want to ask."

Liu Qitong turned to look at him with a smirk.

"Have you...have you ever had a girlfriend?" Lin Zhen blushed imperceptibly in the dark.

Liu Qitong was silent for a while, "Okay."

"Why are you divided?"

"Because it doesn't fit."

——It is definitely a challenge in life to ask this person to say a few more words.

Just when Lin Zhen was secretly depressed, Liu Qitong opened his mouth leisurely again.

"I have been studying with her for 5 years, and I worked in the same hospital after graduation. I have met the parents of both parties, and even bought a wedding ring..."

Liu Qitong's voice was emotionless, as if talking about other people's affairs.

"Later, a kid in the hospital took a fancy to her and used his personal relationship to send me to Japan for further study. I broke up with her when I came back from Japan two years later, and that was it."

Lin Zhen was a little surprised, he didn't expect Liu Qitong to have such a past.

Liu Qitong fell silent.

Almost everyone thought that Bai Xiaofei was too realistic and ended the relationship between the two out of greed for vanity, but only Liu Qitong knew that this really wronged her a bit.

At that time, the hospital happened to have such a place to go to Japan for further study, and Guo Huaixiu had just been promoted to head of the department, eager to consolidate his position in brain surgery.As Guo Huaixiu's direct graduate student, Liu Qitong was of course the best candidate for recommendation.

However, there are no less than ten young talents waiting for election in the whole academy, but there is only one place.With no background like Liu Qitong, it is not easy to stand out among them.

At the critical moment, Cong Yu threw an olive branch to him.

This old classmate has been around Bai Xiaofei since his school days, how could Liu Qitong not know what he wants?

He spent a whole week weighing the pros and cons, and finally decided to give up Bai Xiaofei.

Liu Qitong is a straightforward person, once he has made up his mind, he will never look back.

He is also aware of the power of time, and knows that as long as he drifts away slowly, Bai Xiaofei will forget this relationship one day—just like he forgot his father's early death.When he was a child, he was obviously devastated, but more than ten years later, he couldn't even remember his appearance.

In fact, Bai Xiaofei did not disappoint him either.

After Liu Qitong came back from Japan, she was already with Cong Yu and took the initiative to talk to him about breaking up.

Liu Qitong still remembered that day, with an apologetic expression on Bai Xiaofei's face, she kept watching his reaction carefully, as if she had made a huge mistake.

Before parting, Liu Qitong held her in his arms for a while, feeling a flash of guilt in his heart.

Bai Xiaofei didn't understand that he had already said goodbye to her - just two years ago.

Through this incident, Liu Qitong recognized two facts:

[-]. The distance between myself and Cong Yu is vastly different;

[-]. For some women, the shelf life of loyalty in love is only two years.

Liu Qitong gradually became more and more tough, he despised anyone or anything that made him soft-hearted.There is no such possibility anymore - from the moment he abandoned Bai Xiaofei, there was nothing in this world that could stop his ambition to move forward.

"Liu Qitong..."

The man was silent for too long, so long that Lin Zhen started to feel a little worried.

Hearing his call, Liu Qitong slowly recovered from his contemplation.

"Curiosity satisfied?... Now let's talk about your love history." He said sarcastically.

"What love history?" Lin Zhen was really embarrassed.

"Just start with the one in the photo... Tell me, how many have there been?"

— Starting with Roger?

Lin Zhen smiled wryly.

He was born in a medical family, except for his father, his grandfather and several uncles are all famous experts in major hospitals.Lin Zhen himself lived up to high expectations. He was a top student in the eyes of his teachers and classmates.It wasn't until puberty that he began to realize his special inclinations, and he began to live in fear from then on.

When Lin Zhen was in high school, he had a sweet and bitter first love. The other party was the monitor of his class.During the school's New Year's performance, one played the piano and the other played the violin, and love gradually developed from friendship.

It's a pity that the two children in love didn't know how to cover up at all, and the head teacher accidentally discovered the clues, and then notified the parents of both parties.

When Lin Changmin found out, he was so angry that he ordered Lin Zhen to break up immediately.Unexpectedly, before the matter was resolved, there was news that the other child had cut his wrist and committed suicide.

In the end, Lin Changmin forced Lin Zhen to transfer to other schools in order to deceive others—and also to separate the two.

The life since then can only be described as plain as water.

Lim Changmin thought that his son had gone astray, so he tried his best to watch over him, restricting all his personal freedom except going to school.It was not until he went abroad to study in university that Lin Zhen regained his freedom.

Unfortunately, after being a caged bird for many years, Lin Zhen had already forgotten how to fly when he was released.He still followed the rules and was alone, silently suppressing his emotions.

Speaking of which, Roger was the only one who approached him, probably thanks to his cheerful and lively personality.For a while, Lin Zhen thought that he could finally start over, but then he found out that Roger had had affairs—one after another, all of Lin Zhen's endurance and confidence were worn away.

If it wasn't for him...

Lin Zhen looked at Liu Qitong, feeling a little complicated.

This arrogant arrogance just broke into his heart without any defense.Everything started to clash again and all kinds of chaos, and the ensuing, suffocating - joy?
