too embarrassing

The moon can shine everywhere, and love can be found everywhere.

--Shen Congwen

Like a bad boy who likes to be funny, Gu Yifenen smiled and said provocatively, "Doctor Niu, you are so cute."

"Bang——!!!" Niu Keqing suddenly slapped the table angrily, and his whole body bounced like a kangaroo, shaking twice because he couldn't stand firmly.

Guifenin was so frightened that he almost threw his chopsticks away.

The eyebrows were tightly twisted into the word "Chuan", and Niu Keqing yelled and protested: "I am a big old man... masculine, strong and good man, majestic and majestic, a real hero, no, don't call me cute!"

People around looked over curiously, and Gu Yifenen quickly pulled him to sit down, "Okay, okay, don't say anything."

Niu Keqing snorted from his nose.

Seeing that he was really a little drunk, Guifenin stopped teasing him, but coaxed him nicely, "I'll just think about it and not say anything."

"I can't even think about it!"

"..."

The two of them had almost finished eating, Gu Yifening got up to pay the bill, then turned back and patted Niu Keqing, "Let's go."

Unexpectedly, Niu Keqing sat still, and grabbed his wrist, "I'm a little full, let's sit down first, why are you in a hurry to leave?"

"Okay, okay, sit down as you say," Guifenin had to sit next to him again, poured a cup of hot tea, and drank it slowly.

Relying on a bit of drunkenness, Niu Keqing's nerves were a little excited, and he didn't care about what he said. He slapped Gu Yifening's arm: "Tell me, when did you recognize me?"

He also tapped the table with his chopsticks, like a master of the blue sky, fiercely, signaling that the other party must answer.

Guifenin put down the cup in his hand, recalled it and said, "About two weeks ago, I passed by the door of your department, and I happened to see you inside, but you didn't see me."

"and then?"

"And then I remembered."

"what?"

"Ah for what?"

"So suddenly? There is no point that triggers your memory?" Niu Keqing recalled that at the beginning, he thought of Gu Yifenen because of a few swaying lights and shadows. It was a very subtle point, like a switch to evoke his memory.

"You think this is a TV series? And it triggers the memory," Guifenin spread his hands, "I remembered it naturally."

"Oh," the other party's bland memory made Niu Keqing listless.For some reason, this wasn't what he expected to hear.

Just like a girl who is impulsive in love, she hopes to have some bond with the object of her admiration, so as to symbolize the unspeakable fate, or add a little romance.

...But the other party just remembered it inadvertently.

Of course, he's not a girl, and he doesn't admire each other, it's just a whim.

It was Guifenin's turn to ask him: "What about you? When did you recognize me?"

"When I met you for the first time, I was at that Thai restaurant." Recalling that night, Niu Keqing's expression shrank a little, "The down jacket you gave me is still hanging in my closet at home."

I can't bear to look back on the embarrassing things.The beautiful image of both of them rushing to the street in the restaurant aisle... came to their minds again.The embarrassment that made him want to commit suicide on the spot...is still clear.

"That day, I got a headache just talking about that day," Guifenin smiled bitterly, "but it wasn't because I made a joke with you."

"why?"

"Because you have been encouraging me to eat curry." Guifenin's face gradually collapsed, "I am from the anorectal department..."

Niu Keqing laughed out loud, "Pfft—hahahahahaha! I understand, I understand."

"Did you know? On the day you asked me out, when I was checking the anus of a patient, the man had diarrhea on the spot and sprayed all over the place," Guifenin couldn't bear to continue, "and at night, I have to face a large pot of green curry, you say it's not easy for me..."

The sense of imagery was too strong, Niu Keqing laughed so hard that he almost died, "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha——!"

There was a young lady next door who was drinking porridge. Hearing the content of the chat between the two, she reflexively felt nauseous and retched, and quickly changed tables with the porridge bowl.

"When you said that you made an appointment with me at the Thai restaurant, I had an ominous premonition. I didn't expect you to order curry. I almost collapsed. If I didn't see that you looked like me, I would have left on the spot. .” Guifenin talked about this matter, heartbroken.

Thinking about it now, I feel that everything is so absurd.Niu Keqing held his aching stomach from laughing, "Stop talking, don't talk, I'm going to throw up from laughing."

He laughed a little uncontrollably, which attracted the attention of other guests.It was a bit embarrassing to be stared at, so Niu Keqing stood up and pulled Gu Yifening's clothes, "Let's go."

"Didn't you say sit down?"

"...I'm too full, it's better to walk. Digest."

Walking out of the supper shop, the cold air blows in from the outside, the cool wind blows up the fallen leaves on the road, the night sky is cloudless, and the moonlight is very cold.

They stood under the warm yellow streetlights, both shivering.

Guifenin: "Which district do you live in?"

Niu Keqing: "Area."

Gu Yifenen lives in Area C, which is in the same direction as Area A, and said to him, "That's just right, we can drop by and go back together."

"I'm too full... I want to take a walk in the neighborhood," Niu Keqing meant, wanting to walk separately.

"Alright then, be safe." Guifenin made a goodbye gesture.

Niu Keqing nodded: "Yes."

After saying goodbye, they each turned around and walked in opposite directions.

Two long black shadows were dragged under the feet, one was going home, the other was walking, running in opposite directions.

However, before taking two steps, Niu Keqing suddenly turned around, looking at Gu Yifening's receding back, and called out, "Hey, Doctor Gu."

The voice was faint and not loud, but it still broke through the surrounding noises and penetrated into Doctor Gu's ears.

The man stopped abruptly, and turned towards Niu Keqing slowly, with a somewhat indifferent expression.

The distance between the two was only five or six meters. In this fleeting moment, Niu Keqing stared at the man standing in the night, and suddenly felt a sense of unreachable distance.

That person is very beautiful and has a sense of distance.

Guifenin just stood there, like a messenger visiting the world by moonlight, with light hair and blue eyes, deep facial features and porcelain white skin, exuding admirable beauty everywhere.

Even the dust flying around was like fine golden mist.

The indistinct beauty is like an untouchable light.

Beautiful things do not make people feel tired. Even though I have seen this face thousands of times, Niu Keqing still feels amazing when I look back occasionally.

He stared blankly, forgot to say what was on his lips.

What are you trying to say?He made up his mind.

Oh, I remembered.

Gently, under the moonlight, he asked Guifenin, "Do you want to be with me?"
