too embarrassing

"When we meet again on the screen, my eyes are red."

--"do not forget"

It is a day, the sun is shining, and the scenery is warm.

Doctor Gu heard that the man had returned.

He stepped on the white porcelain shards on the ground, and ran downstairs as fast as he could, even the white coat on his body was blown off by the wind.

There was a bus parked in the open space outside the hospital. There were many people in front of the bus, including leaders from superiors, people who were looking forward to the return of their colleagues, and people passing by to watch the excitement.

Guifenin couldn't squeeze in, but because he was tall, he could pass over most people's heads and see everything on the bus from a distance.

The man's heart suddenly beat very fast, I don't know if it was because of nervousness, or because he ran too fast just now.

The door of the bus opened slowly, and the medical staff who aided Tibet came down one by one. Gu Yifenen's eyes were firmly projected there, like a touch of blue chasing light.

And when the last person got out of the car, Guifenin felt... everything around him became unreal.

Everyone's movements seemed to be still, the noise gradually disappeared, the wind stopped beside the clouds, and the sun reflected straight rays.

"Da", "da", "da", the sound of footsteps is particularly clear.Niu Keqing stepped on the steps of the bus and walked down step by step.

He in the crowd suddenly took all of Dr. Gu's attention.

Niu Keqing's hair has grown a lot, and he wears a pair of glasses with broken corners.Some messy fine hair is sticking up, and there is a little weed-like stubble on his chin.

Not only his appearance, but his attire is also far from before. The man is wearing a washed-out jacket, with a huge waterproof backpack on his shoulders, and a pair of gray-yellow hiking boots with some dried mud on them.

He was no longer the gentle and elegant man in Dr. Gu's memory. He was not refined or refined at all, but he had an air of weather-beaten and washed-out temperament.

The man who had been watching for a long time finally returned. Guifenin was shaking all over his body, and his heart was beating violently and frantically, and it could even pass through his chest to his ears.

"Keqing, it's my Keqing..."

Gu Yifening stood in the dense crowd, surrounded by the noise of welcome. He looked at Niu Keqing who was surrounded by flowers and surrounded by flowers, and his long-exiled heart was finally settled.

A year ago and a year later, they all met in a crowded place.

First meeting at night, reunion at daytime.

"Everyone has worked hard. When you come back, take a good rest for a few days. I believe that you can re-enter the work of this hospital in the best condition!" The leader greeted the colleagues who came back to show their respect.

Colleagues greeted them cheerfully with bright bouquets of flowers, and hugged and chatted with the returning aid workers to Tibet.

It wasn't long before Niu Keqing was transferred to this hospital, and he didn't have any colleagues to catch up with. He walked around to the carriage alone, took out his luggage, and planned to settle down at the place where he lived first, and take a good rest.

The huge suitcase was very heavy, and it took a lot of effort to move it out of the car. Niu Keqing was holding a large bouquet of flowers in his hand, which was very inconvenient.

"Hey......"

He bent down, pulled the suitcase out of the carriage with one hand, and raised one knee to support the bottom of the suitcase, but the suitcase was too heavy, and his hand dropped, almost knocking the suitcase down on his instep.

At this time, a big hand with sharp bones quickly reached out and appeared in Niu Keqing's field of vision, catching the suitcase for him in time, and then put it firmly on the ground.

"Thank you—" Niu Keqing straightened up, thanked him, and turned around to look.

It was Guifenin.

Niu Keqing choked on the last word "thank you", and Niu Keqing's steady heartbeat seemed to stumble, and suddenly rolled.

The black eyes and the blue eyes are facing each other straight, looking deeply into each other's pupils, looking at the long-lost face, feeling familiar yet strange.

After a long pause, they spoke at the same time, their faint voices overlapping——

"Welcome back, Doctor Niu."

"Long time no see, Doctor Gu."

Listen carefully, someone's voice is still trembling.

Being able to face the one he loves at close range again, Niu Keqing is like a hot stamp, immediately stamping a fiery shape on Gu Yifening's heart.

In the sky, the scale-like clouds were just blown away by the wind, and the golden sunlight overflowed.

The two men remained silent as if their acupuncture points had been tapped, a burst of embarrassment gradually spread, and there was a weird feeling of meeting their predecessors.

Uncomfortable being looked at by the other party's fiery eyes, Niu Keqing scratched his ears with his fingertips, looking for something to say: "... a little embarrassing."

Guifenin poked his neck: "...um."

They were both awkward from beginning to end.

At first, it was an embarrassment of making jokes, and then gradually, an awkward relationship with friends with benefits evolved. Even now, it is still awkward to meet again.

The Adam's apple rolled a few times, and Gu Yifenin took the initiative to say: "You've lost weight."

"Ah, really?" Niu Keqing said stiffly, "You too."

"..."

They were silent for a few seconds, and the atmosphere was still stagnant.

The hot heart was getting hotter and the brain was hotter. Doctor Gu was so nervous that his fingers were almost embedded in his palms, and he asked tentatively, "Can I... can I hug you?"

For two people who have been separated for a year, this question is indeed a bit abrupt, especially when their previous relationship is still so rigid.

"Uh," Niu Keqing raised his glasses embarrassingly. After all, he hadn't seen the other party for a long time, so he was somewhat awkward.

No matter how much he desires, Gu Yifening will never force him, he respects Niu Keqing very much: "If, you feel offended..."

"No offense," Niu Keqing was quite easy to talk to the old man, he nodded slightly and graciously agreed.

In order to ease the embarrassment, he put the bouquet in his hand on the suitcase, opened his arms to the other side actively, and said softly, "Of course."

As soon as he said this, Guifenin immediately took a step forward and hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to strangle him alive in his arms.

The heart was beating vigorously in his chest, Niu Keqing was the only one in his world at this moment, and everything else could be turned into a virtual image.

A man is very aware that he has a love that is about to burst forth.

However, contrary to this violent move, he said a very calm and steady sentence, like a voice from an empty valley: "Ke Qing, I miss you very much."

This is how long he has been waiting for the reunion after a long absence.

He really wanted to ask Niu Keqing, do you miss me too, do you miss me like I miss you?

Niu Keqing's chin was stuck on the man's shoulder, and he was completely stunned, but he had no time to take into account the other's enthusiasm, because he was hugged too tightly, which made his breathing difficult and even started to lack oxygen.

He was about to suffocate, and he said helplessly, "...I didn't expect that after I came back, I would still have altitude sickness."

"Huh?" Doctor Gu circled him even harder.

"I...have trouble breathing..."

Only then did Gu Yvening let go of the person belatedly, "Yes, I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

The longing opened like a flood, he couldn't control it, he was bloody.

Compared to the other party's excitement, Niu Keqing was calmer. He patted his chest to calm down, and joked: "Doctor Gu is so handsome, how can he lose his composure?"

He made a light-hearted joke, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a calm smile. This smile made Guifenin feel that the ice and snow in Antarctica were about to melt.

Resisting the chaotic mood, Guifenin asked him: "Since you're back, we haven't seen each other for another year...do you want to have a meal together sometime?"

Hearing that the other party wanted to make a meal appointment, Niu Keqing's expression paled, "Huh?"

In view of the relationship between the two of them, and in view of the fact that that relationship was built because of a meal... It was really hard for him not to be wrong.

Again? !

Niu Keqing squinted his slender eyes, and there was a vigilant light in his eyes: "About dinner? Could it be that you want to...?"

Seeing his hesitation, Gu Yifenen suddenly woke up and explained in a panic: "No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to catch up with you, have a meal and chat with you."

Niu Keqing laughed out loud, "I didn't say anything."

Why did he feel that Dr. Gu hadn't seen him for a year, he seemed to be dumbfounded, with a reddish face, and his speech was dull.

If Doctor Gu in my memory is like a cunning golden fox, then at this moment, standing in front of Niu Keqing is like a...

big golden retriever.

Gu Yifening's blue eyes trembled, and when he saw Niu Keqing laughing, he couldn't do it anymore, his mouth was dry, his face was hot and his neck was hot, and every pore in his body was excited.

"Doctor Gu, your face is very red."

"A little hot."

This winter, when a gust of cold wind blew, Niu Keqing was wrapped in his coat, wondering: "Hot?"

"Hmm..." Guifenin nodded slowly, and he fanned himself with the collar of his white coat like an idiot.

Such a handsome half-breed guy, he just fanned himself with a naive air.

He was still thinking about the question just now: "Then, about eating..."

"Well," Niu Keqing thought for a while, then declined politely, "I just came back, and I still have a lot of things to deal with, and I may not have the time for now."

Although his reason was very good, but the tone was too polite, always giving the other party a very strange feeling.

Doctor Gu is a little lonely.

He thought that the other party would be like him, looking forward to this moment of reunion, because the meaning of reunion is not only the meeting of two people, but also the reunion of two hearts.

But now, it seems that he is the only one who is looking forward to it. Niu Keqing seems to be very calm, and there is no particularly turbulent mood.

Unrelenting, he asked cautiously, "Don't you have time for a meal?"

Niu Keqing nodded honestly, "Well, I'm afraid not."

Guifenin couldn't hide his disappointment, stroked his fluffy light hair, and forced himself to show a look of relief, "Understand, understand."

But then the other party's words pulled him back from the brink of disappointment in an instant, Niu Keqing said with a smile: "But, there is still time for a drink together."

"Okay," Guifenin's eyes lit up suddenly, exuding a bright light blue, "what do you want to drink? Coffee? Juice? Wine? Tea? You shouldn't drink carbonated drinks, right? I remember You said it was bad for your teeth..."

The man was jumping up and down for a while, and then he realized that he looked too childish, so he forcibly suppressed the rising end, pretending to be calm, and said in a deep voice, "Ahem, whatever you like, you can do anything."

"Coffee bar," Niu Keqing pointed to a coffee shop not far away, which was opposite the hospital, "I remember that one was delicious, Sunday afternoon, are you free?"

"Yes," the corners of Guifenin's mouth were uncontrollable, almost reaching his temples.

He's free, of course he's free, even when the end of the world comes.

"I'll see you then," Niu Keqing pulled up the handle of the suitcase, ready to go to the hospital gate to take a taxi.

"Okay," Guifenin nodded with his lips pursed. If it wasn't for maintaining his image, he would have recited the entire "Essentials of Diagnosis and Treatment of Anorectal Diseases" on the spot in excitement.

After Niu Keqing took a few steps, Gu Yifening suddenly remembered something and stopped him, "Doctor Niu, wait!"

Niu Keqing paused and turned to look at him, "Huh?"

Guifenin walked up quickly and asked him, "Can we... shake hands?"

"Ah?" Niu Keqing thought, didn't we hug just now?

He raised his glasses and stretched out his hand to the other party in puzzlement.

Gu Ifening didn't answer, but held his hand solemnly, with an inexplicable solemn sense of ceremony.

This is not like an ordinary handshake, but rather like a treasure hunter touching a treasure he has longed for, with love and eagerness.

Dr. Gu's palms were sweating, and he suddenly said a sentence without beginning or end, "Everyone who meets for the first time shakes hands."

"...Huh?" Niu Keqing was at a loss.

The fingertips of the other party turned red until the entire pinna of the ear became red, and he said to him: "Doctor Niu, let's get to know each other again."

The past has been a mess, so why not hope for a new beginning, the day you and I meet again.

Niu Keqing's heart trembled like a string being plucked.

He blushed and nodded, feeling that the other person's whole hand was shaking violently, as if he had Parkinson's syndrome, he was a little worried: "Are... are you okay?"

"Of course." Gu Ifnin's face was calm, with the poise and demeanor of a mature man, "I'm fine."
