A Tooth For a Tooth

At the beginning of tooth extraction, Yang Ren closed his eyes, and the buzzing sound of a small electric drill began to surround his ears, and a tube was directly inserted into his mouth. When he occasionally opened his eyes, he could see blood being sucked out along the tube .

"Relax." Director Min smiled at him and found that his body was too stiff.

Yang Ren gasped for breath, but was already trembling.

Director Min didn't know what to do, he patted Xu Yao, took his hand and put it on Yang Renping's hand on his lower abdomen.

Xu Yao secretly bent his mouth, then held Yang Ren's hand vigorously and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, so you don't have to be afraid."

At that moment, Yang Ren seemed to have returned to the treatment table ten years ago. That's what Xu Yao said to him when he asked Xu Yao for tooth extraction for the first time.Thinking of the scene where they met, and thinking of the nameplate with the name "Xu Yao" that came into view at that time, Yang Ren suddenly lost control of his emotions, because his mouth was open and he couldn't move, he didn't make a sound, but his eyes didn't know what to do. The matter became more and more blurred, and tears soon overflowed, sliding from the corners of the eyes to the ears.

Director Min found out about his condition, and stopped his hands in embarrassment: "Is it very painful? Not enough anesthetic?"

Xu Yao immediately felt the pause, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"Your friend cried." Director Min said.

Xu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, then took off his mask with one hand, and smiled: "Can you be stronger? Isn't this a bit embarrassing? How can I tell Tong Tong when I go back?"

It was fine if Xu Yao didn't speak, but when he spoke, Yang Ren's condition got worse. He closed his eyes, another line of tears poured out, and he didn't know where he got so wronged.Do you want to say how painful it is at this moment?In fact, not necessarily, the mouth under the anesthesia is not too painful.Yang Ren is not a hypocritical person, but when he saw that the most powerful doctor in the department could only sit on the side and stare at his out-of-focus eyes, his tears were like broken beads, not at all. controlled.

Xu Yao didn't understand what he was thinking, and thought he was simply afraid, so he patted the back of Yang Ren's hand lightly like putting a child to sleep. The force and rhythm really reassured Yang Ren.

Director Min and the little nurse were by the side, neither of them could understand Xu Yao's words, but seeing that the two of them could communicate effortlessly, they felt miraculous in their hearts.

After the gums were separated and loosened, the bad tooth was about to be pulled out, and Yang Ren finally calmed down, but the hand he had been holding was pulled out from his hand. Xu Yao got up slowly, and one of the nurses led him out. out of the treatment room.

"Hmm..." Yang Ren was immediately distracted, not knowing where Xu Yao was going, it was a critical moment, how could Xu Yao leave him?Director Min pressed his face and said, "Don't move, it will be fine soon."

He didn't know why Xu Yao wanted to leave, and he didn't know where the little nurse was going to take him. He began to think wildly, and seemed to forget his nervousness. He didn't turn back until there was a crisp sound, and Director Min threw his teeth into the iron plate. Come on.

Yang Ren rinsed his mouth indiscriminately and sat up from the treatment bed. Where is Xu Yao?He was going to find Xu Yao.

Director Min saw his impatience, pointed at the corner of his mouth with a smile, and reminded him that there was still a bloodstain that hadn't been wiped off. Yang Ren wiped it with the back of his hand embarrassedly, and then he calmed down and thanked Director Min.

"Who are you to Dr. Xu?" Director Min smiled.

Yang Ren said nervously, "A...friend."

When Director Min led him out of the treatment room, he saw Xu Yao sitting at the doctor's table, writing with a pen.

Yang Ren was taken aback, and the little nurse who was standing on the side helping Xu Yao turned around and said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished writing yet."

Xu Yao didn't know it, and was still writing seriously. He wrote Yang Ren's medical records. Before writing each line, the little nurse would use a ruler to help him compare the distance, and then Xu Yao pressed the ruler with his left hand, Strive to write every line neatly.

Chief Complaint: Spontaneous pain in the left tooth for several months

History of present illness: For several months, left tooth pain, pain can not be localized, there is nocturnal pain, spontaneous pain history, accompanied by radiating pain.

The handwriting is so familiar. In the past ten years, Yang Ren has never counted how many times he has read every sentence in the medical record, so even if Xu Yao's handwriting is a little crooked because his eyes can't see it, Yang Ren can still write every word. read out.

Xu Yao slowly wrote each word, and then the little nurse took his hand and put it on the bottom right, where Xu Yao signed his name.

Yang Ren didn't know what was wrong, and wanted to cry again, but due to the crowd, he could only cover his cheek with an ice pack with one hand, and put the other on Xu Yao's shoulder. He believed that his countless emotions could pass through this Hand passed to Xu Yao.

"Finished?" Feeling that it was Yang Ren, Xu Yao finally opened his mouth. He might want to surprise him, but after he couldn't see it, he wrote the words too slowly, and he didn't finish writing before he finished pulling the tooth.

Yang Ren didn't care about these things, if the doctors and nurses were not present, he really seemed to put his arms around his neck and kiss him hard.

"Does it hurt?" Xu Yao smiled.

"It doesn't hurt." His mouth was numb, Yang Ren squeezed out two words in order to answer him.
