patient

Liu Tang would visit Dr. Zhou occasionally, but not very often.

Originally, Doctor Zhou told him to go there two to three times a week, but Liu Tang didn't listen very much, because Chen Meimei forced him to go once a week.

Since the bookstore opened, he couldn't go there because he was busy, but recently his body didn't hurt so much, so he didn't take the initiative to go there.

When Ms. Chen Meimei asked, she realized that he hadn't been there for more than a month, so she escorted him there.

Doctor Zhou didn't look good when he saw him. It wasn't because Liu Tang didn't take care of his business. He didn't open this clinic for profit. It is not high, and many people have been treated. It cannot be said to be cured, but there is always an effect, and it will not recur for several years.

But Liu Tang is not a good patient. Although he looks peaceful on the surface, he will agree with what Dr. Zhou says, but he has a negative attitude and doesn't cooperate with the treatment very much.

Doctor Zhou had told him many times, hoping that he would ignite hope, but Liu Tang closed himself up and couldn't listen to other people's words at all.

Just like this time, he hasn't come here for more than a month, and the labor intensity is heavy, and he lacks exercise. Although his condition has not changed significantly, the muscles on his body are already stiff.

He didn't take his body seriously, but Dr. Zhou had to take him seriously, so he could only find a way to treat him.

Ms. Chen Meimei was also very angry when she mentioned these things. She scolded Liu Tang all the way from home to the clinic, and couldn't help crying when she saw his back full of needles.

Liu Tang was used to this kind of treatment, and he didn't think much of it, but the impact on Ms. Chen Meimei was not insignificant. Looking at it, his eyes became red again.

On the contrary, Dr. Zhou looked at it and laughed: "Acupuncture looks scary, but it's actually not very painful. Once my wife got up in the morning and got windy, and half of her face was stiff. I tied it for her. She was afraid at first. , I told her, 'You, a family member of a doctor, why are you so unaware!'"

Chen Meimei's eyes were red at first, but she also laughed when she heard it.

They are not much older, and they can also talk. There are other people in the clinic, and everyone talks to each other, and the talk is quite lively.

After the treatment, Chen Meimei originally asked Liu Tang to go back and rest, but Liu Tang was unwilling, so he sent Chen Meimei back and went to the shop.

After parking the car, Liu Tang saw the young man standing at the door of the shop. He sat in the car for a while before getting out of the car, took out the key to open the door, and did not look at Shen Wen'an, but still asked, "When did you come here?"

"Just came, did you go out?" Shen Wen'an stood aside and looked at his profile.

The sun was very strong, making Liu Tang's cheeks slightly flushed, sweat slid down the contours of his face, and one of them fell on the tip of his nose, which was about to fall.

"Well, go for treatment," Liu Tang said lightly.

This was the first time he talked about treatment in front of Shen Wen'an, his illness was like a knot, entangled in his heart, no matter what happened to him, it would always be there, it would get worse, but it would not fade away.

But this is something he doesn't want to mention.

He rarely took the initiative to talk about his illness with others, whether it was family members or friends, but every time he mentioned it, it seemed like a knife was stabbed in his heart, like self-torture.

And this kind of pain often makes him more awake.

But Shen Wen'an didn't know.

He thought this meant that Liu Tang had opened his heart to him, and he cared about Liu Tang with his own words: "What kind of treatment is it? Does it hurt?"

His voice is gentle, with a slight smile on his face.

But Liu Tang's face turned cold, and he said, "Shen Wen'an, don't come here again, okay?"

His voice lost the indifference and firmness he usually pretended to be, and became fragile, even full of pleading.

Shen Wen'an felt that the blood in his body was congealed, and the smile on his face became forced: "What's wrong?"

"I can't help it..." Liu Tang knelt down, covered his mouth, and whimpered slightly. Tears flowed down, mixed with sweat, and flowed to the corner of his mouth, which was very bitter.

"Liu Tang!" Shen Wen'an knelt down and put his hands on his shoulders, "Look at me!"

Liu Tang raised his head to look at Shen Wen'an, his facial features were blurred with tears in his eyes.

"I like you, not just for a day or two, nor just for a year or two. I hope you will be with me. If I say this now, I will say the same ten or twenty years later," Shen Wenan looked at him , with firm eyes, "I don't care about your illness, even if you really can't move in the future, I will take care of you."

He wanted to go up and kiss Liu Tang, but they were at the door of the shop, he held back after all, and continued: "Liu Tang, I'm serious, not a joke!"

After that day, the relationship between Liu Tang and Shen Wen'an entered another mode, a bit like when they had not confirmed their relationship in Sichuan, they used one sentence to describe the state of "more than friends, but less than lovers".

With the end of the holiday, Shen Wen'an's internship in the game company also came to an end. The boss of the cram school called him to come over, but he refused.

He began to spend more time in Liu Tang's store, but not as a customer but as an employee.

With his arrival, the number of female customers in the book bar has increased significantly. Liu Tang can see no less than ten girls crazy about him every day, and girls ask him out every few days.

Of course Liu Tang knew that Shen Wen'an's looks were quite attractive to young girls, but after watching too much, he still couldn't help muttering, "Attract bees and butterflies".

Once Shen Wen'an heard him muttering, and he quietly asked Liu Tang after the customers had dispersed: "Can I recruit you?"

Regarding this, Liu Tang just gave him a blank look: "Let's fish for fish and deduct wages again!"

Shen Wen'an suddenly had a bitter face: "I have been deducted several times this month, and if I deduct the northwest wind, I will not be able to afford the boss!"

His funny appearance is very gratifying, even if Liu Tang wanted to keep a straight face, he couldn't bear it anymore: "Then work hard!"

"Of order!" Shen Wen'an saluted, and after a few seconds of seriousness, he leaned over and said with a smile, "I saw a barbecue on the group buying website today, and the ratings are quite high. Do you want to eat it?"

This was not Shen Wen'an's first time asking Liu Tang out. Liu Tang didn't go every time, but occasionally he agreed. They went out to eat together two or three times a week.

The places to eat are not all high-end restaurants, usually the restaurants with good reviews that Shen Wenan saw on group buying websites or Weibo, some are various restaurants with exquisite decoration, and some are opened on the side of the road without even a facade stall.

Therefore, Liu Tang's first reaction after hearing what he said was not to refuse, but to lean over to read the restaurant introduction and user reviews.

After reading it, he thought it was okay, so he said, "Okay, do I need to make an appointment in advance?"

"I checked. There is no need to make an appointment. We can just go there when the time comes. Should we buy the set meal above or order it at the place?" Shen Wen'an asked, pointing his finger at the phone screen.

"Order over there!" Liu Tang is a picky eater, and the general set menu doesn't suit his appetite, so it's better to order it at another place.

Liu Tang has been a little lazy lately, the closing time of the store was at least an hour earlier than before, and he was going to eat today, so the closing time was even earlier.

When closing the door, he saw the guests from the restaurant on the left welcoming the door, and the owner of the shop on the right was actively selling to customers. Liu Tang felt that he was a little bit ignorant.

The current business of the book bar is not bad. Although the bulk of the profit comes from the drink business, is it a waste to open a store like him for three days of fishing and two days of surfing the net? Liu Tang wonders whether he should hire another full-time job.

Liu Tang felt that this was feasible, so he asked Shen Wen'an casually.

Shen Wen'an was startled when he heard the words: "Did I not do well?"

"No, I think the store is a little busy right now. After all, you can't be here all day long. I'm still a bit too busy by myself," Liu Tang said thoughtfully.

The key point is that Shen Wen'an's part-time job here is obviously a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking, and Liu and Tang come and go in pairs all day long, and they both leave early together when eating, which is not good!not good!

The more Liu Tang thought about it, the more he felt that he should recruit people. It would be best to recruit two people, divided into morning and evening shifts.

"It's like hiring people in a beverage store. You need to cover them. If you want to hire people, the place to stay should not be too bad. If you look around Jiangda University, the better ones will cost seven to eight hundred or even thousands of yuan," Shen Wenan said slowly. Huan said, "In this case, salary plus rent, as well as store rent, water and electricity bills, and various costs, can we guarantee a balance of income and expenditure?"

It was only after Shen Wen'an said this that Liu Tang felt that recruiting was so troublesome. He thought about it, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure it out at all, so he said, "Okay! I'll go to the store to settle the score tomorrow. "

"Well," Shen Wen'an nodded in satisfaction, turned the car into the parking space, parked the car, came out, and let Liu Tang drive.

Liu Tang was still trying to figure it out, so he didn't realize it all at once. He didn't realize it until he came to the car door.

The restaurant is in the shopping mall, on the fourth floor, and that floor is full of food.

They were talking about eating barbecue, but before they reached that restaurant, Liu Tang was first attracted by the menu of a Japanese restaurant.

He likes to eat sushi, although not every kind of sashimi is acceptable.

Counting it, he hadn't eaten it for a long time. Looking at the various sushi platters in the picture, he couldn't help drooling. He turned his head and asked Shen Wen'an, "Why don't we eat barbecue next time?"

Seeing him like this, Shen Wen'an still didn't understand. He didn't have much preference for Japanese food, and he had eaten sashimi before. Although he could eat it, he didn't think it was delicious.

But Liu Tang was looking forward to it so much, Shen Wen'an naturally followed his wishes: "Okay, next time."

Liu Tang's eyes lit up: "Then have sushi today?"

"Okay!" Shen Wen'an was already mentally prepared, so he didn't object.

The decoration of the restaurant is Japanese style. The waiters wear simple kimonos and their heads are wrapped in cloth.

They are led by the waiter and sit against the wall, the light is facing the table.

Liu Tang took the menu, ordered several Japanese dishes, and ordered a lot of sushi, and also ordered a small mixed platter of sushi and sashimi.

After ordering, he handed the menu to Shen Wen'an. After looking at it, Shen Wen'an added another grilled salmon bone, one fried udon and one flame sushi, and ordered a glass of sake.

Seeing him ordering wine, Liu Tang declared: "I don't drink, I still have to drive."

"Okay, I'm drunk and you take me back," Shen Wen'an said with a smile.

"..." Liu Tang said stiffly, "Throw you under the flyover!"

Shen Wen'an laughed again, which made Liu Tang a little annoyed, and pushed the water in front of him: "Drink water!"
