The small box in the tavern has very limited space, and the program team quietly retreated out after setting up a few machines.

Chang Le looked at a series of unrecognizable names on the wine list, and barely recognized the tequila and Baileys that he drank with Yuan Ye last time. He was about to speak, but worried that after drinking it, he would be as drunk as last time. He was unconscious and woke up beside someone.

"This." Ding Zhi pointed to the wine list for the waiter, and Chang Le saw which one was the most expensive.

"One bottle." He said lightly.

"A bottle?!" Chang Le was taken aback, and looked at the price carefully, "Are you sure it's a bottle or not a cup?"

Ding Zhi smiled and repeated to the waiter: "One bottle."

"Okay, what about you, sir?" The waiter asked Chang Le again.

Chang Le waved his hand blankly: "Plain water is fine."

"OK, just a second."

"Boiled water?" Ding Zhi tilted his head and smiled, "How about having a drink with me?"

Chang Le rubbed his forehead and smiled: "I'm afraid we'll both get drunk, there must be someone who is sober!"

He lowered his head and glanced at the wine list again, and said, "Why are you so extravagant all of a sudden? You've already resigned, so you have no income in the first place, isn't it?"

Ding Zhi smiled and said, "I'm rich."

"Huh?" Chang Le wondered, "Why did you get rich?"

Ding Zhi took his bag with a smile, flipped through it, took out a document and handed it to Chang Le.

Chang Le took it in doubt, and after looking at the content, it turned out to be a verdict.

Puzzled in his heart, he raised his eyes to look at Ding Zhi, then lowered his eyes to read the content of the judgment.

There are two plaintiffs, one is Ding Zhi, the other is Hai Lu, and the defendant is a certain municipal hospital. Looking further down the specific content, I feel that the language is a bit obscure.

When he was frowning and couldn't understand, Ding Zhi said, "Anyway, the lawsuit is won, and the hospital will pay me 600 million yuan."

"600 million?!" Chang Le almost jumped up, "Why?"

Ding Zhi smiled lightly, "For such a serious medical accident, 600 million is not too much, and Hailu lost 900 million."

Chang Le was dumbfounded, and hastily lowered his head to look again, but the more he looked, the more he couldn't understand, he turned the verdict back and forth indiscriminately, and returned the verdict to Ding Zhi, saying, "I don't understand, what's going on? "

As soon as the words fell, the waiter had already walked in, put a glass of ice water in front of Chang Le, and a glass in front of Ding Zhi, then added some ice cubes, opened the bottle of foreign wine, and gracefully gave Ding Zhi After pouring half a glass, he finally put down the wine bottle, turned around and left gently.

Ding Zhi picked up the wine in front of him, sniffed it lightly, then took a sip, frowned slightly, then slowly opened it, let out an admiration in his mouth, then nodded, put down the wine glass, raised his eyes and said: "Remember what happened on my body?" Those two scars?"

"Remember," Chang Le nodded again and again, "Didn't you say it was left in the car accident?"

"Yeah." Ding Zhi leaned back and adjusted a comfortable posture, "It was the car accident. During the operation, there was a medical accident, and I was infected with HIV."

Chang Leru was struck by lightning, and couldn't recover for a while, "How...how..."

"How could it be?" Ding Zhi smiled wryly, "After I was infected, I kept asking every day, why did this happen? How could it be me? Am I infected?"

Chang Le looked at Ding Zhi while talking, his eyes were a little red, and he couldn't help having a sore nose, so he quickly sucked his nose and wiped his eyes quietly.

Ding Zhi laughed again, picked up the cup and took a sip, then held the cup in his hand and played with it.

"It was foggy that day, and I overslept. I took a taxi to go to work. I was confused and sleepy in the car. I didn't understand anything before I was knocked over."

"It was Hailu's husband who caused the accident. Hailu was five months pregnant at the time and accidentally fell at home. Her husband drove her to the hospital. He ran a red light in a hurry and ran straight into my car. The driver who pulled me and Hailu's husband died on the spot, and Hailu and I were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment."

Ding Zhi slightly raised his head, looking at the lights on the ceiling, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"As a result, it was not because of the heavy fog that day, there were several car accidents that collided in a row, and all of them were packed into the nearby hospital. It was a mess inside, and the blood bank was not enough, so they were temporarily transferred from the nearby blood bank. Blood, as a result, something went wrong with this blood."

Chang Le gently raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and couldn't bear to listen anymore.

"It must have been unlucky for me and Hailu. There were so many injuries and operations at that time, but the problematic blood was used by the two of us, and we were both infected."

Chang Le was startled and said, "She... isn't she pregnant?"

Ding Zhi took another sip of his wine and said, "Yes, I gave birth later and tried many methods. Fortunately, the baby was not brought with me."

After hearing this, Chang Le breathed a sigh of relief, but thought that Ding Zhi and that mother were not so lucky, and couldn't help feeling even more sad.

"I really admire Hailu." Ding Zhi said lightly, "She is a pregnant woman, her husband passed away, and she was infected for no reason, but she never gave up. Sue the hospital together."

"The only time I saw her break down was after she gave birth, saw her son in the nursery and confirmed that he was not infected, and she cried in the hallway until she passed out. In contrast to myself, It’s really useless.”

Chang Le pursed his lips, drank half of his ice water, then picked up the bottle of wine and mixed it in, leaned over to clink glasses with Ding Zhi, took a sip, the bitterness made the base of his tongue numb, biting Ya said: "You are already fine, don't say that."

Ding Zhi smiled helplessly and said, "When I was infected, do you know what was the first thought?"

Chang Le remained motionless, waiting for his own answer.

"Revenge on the society." Ding Zhi said coldly, "Really, I hated everyone in the world at the time. Why did I receive such punishment for not doing anything bad in my life? I wish I could feed my blood to everyone. , let the whole world be buried with me."

Chang Le lowered his eyes. Although he couldn't imagine Ding Zhi's pain at that time, he seemed to understand his anger.

"When I was not discharged from the hospital, I resigned from Mr. Wei and told me about my situation." Ding Zhi continued, "Mr. Wei really has nothing to say. He said that he should let me get medical treatment and recuperate first. If I leave too early, my insurance will be cut off." , I was still paid the normal salary, and even organized people from the company to visit me in the hospital, and after I was discharged from the hospital, they confirmed that I didn’t want to work anymore, and they were willing to let me continue to pay social security in the company.”

Chang Le nodded. Wei Xiling didn't have much contact with him, so he didn't expect him to be so kind and reliable.

"I was quite touched at the time, but what happened when I returned to the company?" Ding Zhi let out a helpless snort in his nasal cavity, "Except for Mr. Wei, everyone saw me as if they were seeing a plague god, and they were afraid to avoid it. , When I went to hand in the materials, the HR who is usually kind and friendly, was too scared to accept it.”

"After resigning, I didn't know what to do all day long. Apart from smoking, drinking and playing games, I was not interested in anything, and I didn't even bother to eat. It turned out that I was always strong. Before the accident, my weight was still 90, and then I lost weight day by day. Dropped to less than 60, the whole body is as thin as a ghost, and the current state is slowly recovering."

Looking at Ding Zhi's appearance, Chang Le couldn't imagine that he could be thinner than now, and felt more and more distressed.

"At that time, I thought, I can't live for a long time. It's boring. All my previous goals and hopes are gone. I originally wanted to save money to buy a house, get married and have children. In the end, everything was in vain. I simply squandered my savings. Then just wait for death."

"Later, Hailu asked me to file a lawsuit with me. I didn't want to, and I said a lot of frustrated things in front of her, but she cried. She said that if she was not pregnant with the child, she would have committed suicide to accompany her husband. went."

"When I looked at her belly, I suddenly felt redeemed, do you understand? It's like...seeing a little hope of life..." Ding Zhi couldn't help sobbing when he said this.

As soon as Chang Le heard his choked sobs, she blinked and tears rolled down her eyes.

"Then I agreed to her and went to court with her. When we were negotiating with the hospital, the representatives of the hospital didn't dare to sit too close to us. I thought it was ridiculous at the time. Don't you all know about infection? The way? But Hai Lu is very kind and careful, saying that this is an unavoidable fear of others. When we go out of public places, she tries not to have any contact with others to avoid unnecessary troubles. I slowly also Learn from her and learn to reject people thousands of miles away, because if we reject first, there will be no chance for others to reject us."

"So," Ding Zhi smiled suddenly, and a tear fell into the cup from his eyes, "When you played basketball that time, you hugged me like that, I really... couldn't hold back." He raised his hand to wipe wiped his eyes.

Chang Le pursed her lips tightly to keep her crying from coming out, but her face was already full of tears.

Ding Zhi wiped away his tears, sighed with a smile, and said, "I really didn't expect that I could meet friends like you when recording this program, and it would make me... come alive again." He raised the phone in his hand cup.

Chang Le hurriedly picked up the cup to touch him, took a sip, but could no longer taste the taste in his mouth.

"You..." Chang Le suppressed his voice, "Why did you agree to come to this show in such a state? Is it for money?"

Ding Zhi had stopped his tears, managed to calm himself down, and said with a smile: "Is it useful for me to ask for money? At that time your brother came to me and said how this program promotes equal rights for gays. I thought it was none of my business? I'm not gay. But your brother said that my identity will be very confusing, and I will be regarded as gay by default. The purpose of the program is to eliminate discrimination, including eliminating discrimination against carriers and so on. "

"Actually, discrimination does not discriminate. I was really used to it at the time. What I thought every day was that I would not live for a few days. What can you do if you discriminate against me? But I have to say that your brother is very good at persuading others, saying In the end, I also felt that for an infected person, if there is a positive image that encourages him, it will indeed give him some hope for life. And in the end, I am only a carrier, and I have not been completely infected with AIDS. It was all done by me, so it would be so easy to die? And because I was fighting a lawsuit with Hailu, I also thought about something to stop me from being so depressed, so I thought about it for a long time. That's why I promised to come."

Ding Zhi smiled again after finishing speaking, "However, when I first came here, I still had a very negative mentality. I regretted participating from time to time, and I could barely cooperate in the knockout rounds. It was really annoying at other times, and I didn't want to participate." Interacting with you guys, if it wasn’t for that basketball game, I might have quit long ago.”

He finished the speech with a smile, but Chang Le just stared at him blankly.

"You just said...you are not...comrade?" Chang Le asked dully.

Ding Zhi's eyelids twitched, then he smiled awkwardly and helplessly, and said, "Oh, I missed it."
