my passenger is sleepy

The two came to that Cantonese-style tea restaurant and found a quiet corner. When Si Xiaoqi arrived, there were four baskets of shrimp dumplings. He patted his stomach and said, "I'm hungry."

"Why don't you come back after eating something?" Xiao Chen ordered rice noodles and poured tea, "How long did you stay at the company last night?"

"All night," Si Xiaoqi said, "At six o'clock, I stared at the office for a while, and wanted to pick you up for breakfast, so I didn't eat it on the way."

Xiao Chen's eyes were shining, and he suddenly felt that he was also quite hungry.

Si Xiaoqi yawned and said, "Go home and sleep after dinner, I'm sleepy."

Xiao Chen nodded: "I'm sleepy too. I already have a headache, but it's even more annoying to be troubled by Zhang Tianqi."

Speaking of Zhang Tianqi, Si Xiaoqi suddenly put down his teacup and said, "I almost rushed out when Zhang Tianqi was arguing with you just now."

"It's good that you didn't jump out!" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Otherwise I would be in more trouble... Hey, you are getting smarter and more rational now."

"I didn't go out because Sun Jing grabbed me." Si Xiaoqi curled her lips and said rather dissatisfied, "Tsk, that little girl."

"Sun Jing?" Xiao Chen was shocked, "How could she know you?"

"Hey? Didn't you say that?" Si Xiaoqi was even more surprised.

"I'm fine, why tell her this?" Xiao Chen said in shock, "When did she know?"

Si Xiaoqi shook his head.

"Didn't you ask her then?"

"I don't have any skills. I'm taking care of you. As soon as you lift your foot, I will come out right after you." Si Xiaoqi was complaining.

Xiao Chen thought about it carefully, but he really felt clueless, so he simply gave up and waved his hand: "Forget it, anyway, she already knows, let's know if she knows...I have to thank her some other day. On today's occasion, if you really rush It will be more troublesome if you go out."

Xiao Chen paused for a moment, then continued: "And Si Xiaoqi, you should trust me, I can handle this matter myself."

Si Xiaoqi clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, and said with an extremely aggrieved look: "Xiao Chen, you make me so sad, I thought you would be moved by my heroic behavior."

"Thank you, I am very touched." Xiao Chen said.

"Fuck, it's even more sad. You can't be so sloppy when dealing with errands. Are you fooling a ghost?"

"Then how do you want me to thank you?"

"Give me the address of your mother's house." Si Xiaoqi said with a mysterious smile.

Xiao Chen stopped his chopsticks and asked strangely, "Didn't you go there before? Besides, why do you want the address?"

"Why are you so vigilant, I can sneak through the door and pick the lock in the middle of the night," Si Xiaoqi complained, "I just want to send her something."

"Send what?"

"Then don't worry about it. In short, I have to concentrate on pleasing my mother-in-law. As the saying goes, 'the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more interesting she is,' I can handle you. I don't believe I can handle your mother."

"A tube top mermaid wedding dress with pearls, a Hepburn hairstyle with a small crown, it's too easy to handle my mother, this outfit will definitely work." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Hey, don't threaten me. Believe it or not, I dare to pass through another day." Si Xiaoqi puffed up his chest and said, "What am I afraid of? The current makeup technology is like a big change to a living person. Apply a layer of white I don't even recognize my own mother."

Xiao Chen laughed so hard that there were tears in the corners of his eyes, he knocked on the table and said, "I beg you to let my mother go, she is too old to bear this kind of fright."

Si Xiaoqi looked at Xiao Chen and smiled, and gradually felt relieved.He has been worried about the cat's mood since he left the hospital.Seeing Xiao Chen frowning, he would wonder if the cat was feeling uncomfortable again, and seeing Xiao Chenle, he would worry if the cat was forcing a smile.He always remembered Xiao Chen's low and depressed look half a month ago, and he always remembered that Xiao Chen was restless at night and had dark circles on his face.

But now Xiao Chen has definitely changed. Zhang Tianqi has a direct conflict with him. His sexual orientation has been known, and some people even know his existence.But the cat still came to eat with him calmly, and still laughed wantonly, as if the scene in the morning never happened.

Si Xiaoqi didn't know why this change came about, but he was very happy to see Xiao Chen in this state from the bottom of his heart, and he always felt that he could see something different from Xiao Chen's smile, but he couldn't tell what it was , but allow yourself to break your heart.

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Chen asked.

"I'm thinking... what if the hospital finds out...?" Si Xiaoqi said what was on his mind.

"Just do what you want, and we'll talk about it when the time comes." Xiao Chen shrugged, "Worrying about this matter doesn't solve the problem."

Looking at Xiao Chen's calm face, Si Xiaoqi suddenly understood what it was that moved him - flexibility, invincible flexibility.

"Baby," Si Xiaoqi said very seriously, "I love you."

Xiao Chen stared blankly at Si Xiaoqi for two seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing, he laughed harder and harder, until the end he could only support his head with one hand: "Si Xiaoqi... I beg you... ...Let's...don't...do this okay?"

"What's the matter?" Although Si Xiaoqi's face was as thick as a city wall, but it was so, he just couldn't hold back when the other party laughed like this after expressing his affectionate confession, "Is it so funny that I love you?"

"No...no," Xiao Chen said in a calm tone, "I didn't mean that, it's just that I can't adapt to the sudden change in the painting style."

Si Xiaoqi was a little embarrassed, threw a whole shrimp dumpling into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks and chewed vigorously, as if he was chewing on Xiao Chen's bones.

Xiao Chen sniffled, sat up straight and looked at Si Xiaoqi: "Si Xiaoqi."

"Huh?" Si Xiaoqi snorted through his nose.

"I love you too."

"Huh!" Si Xiaoqi snorted rather arrogantly, but his eyebrows and eyes gradually curved.

"I love you very much." Xiao Chen said again.

Si Xiaoqi swallowed the shrimp dumplings with difficulty, then narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm such a good person, if you don't love me, you'll be at a loss."

"Well," Xiao Chen nodded, "In order not to make me lose too much, you continue to work hard."

"I don't need to work hard to be perfect. You have to work harder, baby, I'm afraid you will have too many competitors."

Xiao Chen picked up his chopsticks and bowed his head to eat. In the field of "smelly and shameless", Si Xiaoqi is definitely seeking defeat alone.

Si Xiaoqi shook his head triumphantly, and continued, "Xiao Chen, I have some good news for you, our company finally won't lose any money this month."

"Really?" Xiao Chen raised his head and said in surprise, "Qiao Xin is so capable."

"That is, I plan to give each employee a big red envelope at the end of the year. It doesn't matter if we earn less. The key is to attract those employees. They are all old drivers with rich experience."

"It should be," Xiao Chen nodded, and suddenly said seriously, "Do I have any red envelopes?"

"No!" Si Xiaoqi said decisively, "I can't find a red envelope that I can put myself in."

Xiao Chen smiled.

◇◇◇

Early on Thursday morning, Xiao Chen came to the hospital as usual.In the locker room, he met Dr. Han from the Department of Internal Medicine. Dr. Han greeted him casually and asked, "I heard you're going back to the chest?"

"Well," Xiao Chen nodded, "I submitted the application, but I don't know if it will be approved."

"There will be an announcement this afternoon, right?" Dr. Han said, "The announcement should come out after the administrative expansion meeting in the afternoon. I guess you can go back."

"Maybe," Xiao Chen smiled, "No one dares to say it until the public announcement comes out."

"It's good to go back, the emergency department is too tiring, and staying for a few years will shorten your life!"

"It's quite tiring," Xiao Chen said, "But I really learned a lot this year, and the emergency room is quite a training."

"Training is the same everywhere." Doctor Han patted Xiao Chen's shoulder after changing his clothes and said, "It's enough to worry you when you go back, so go ahead and do it."

Xiao Chen thanked with a smile, and watched Doctor Han walk out of the locker room, he sighed secretly: It seems that the whole courtyard knows that he and Zhang Tianqi are at odds, and it is estimated that more than half of the people are waiting to watch the show, which is better than the annual meeting .

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Chen received a call from Guo Hong.

"Busy?" Guo Hong's tone was a bit unfriendly.

"It's okay," Xiao Chen quickly signed the test form and handed it to the patient, "What's the matter?"

"The meeting is over."

"Oh," Xiao Chen's heart tightened, and Guo Hong's tone didn't seem optimistic.

"You can come back next year."

Xiao Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and just about to say "You are breathing heavily", when Guo Hong said: "Did you tell Zhang Yuan about Xiao Song?"

"Yes." Xiao Chen admitted bluntly, "Guo Hong, I know that you have been hiding this matter and don't want to say it. I didn't want to say it at first. Xiao Song is a girl. Although she has resigned, she still needs a reputation... I……"

"Forget it," Guo Hong interrupted Xiao Chen, "Yesterday when Zhang Yuan asked me about it, I told him about it, so both of us are sorry for Xiao Song... In fact, I am also annoyed, Zhang Tianqi is always restless The points, those two big leaders are tossing endlessly, and we are suffering as cannon fodder."

"Yeah, I was also thinking that I might just settle it once and for all." Xiao Chen said in a low voice, "It's really tiring."

"Yuan Zhang must have told Yuan Liu about Zhang Tianqi's matter. Do you know that it is actually not Zhang Yuan but Liu Yuan who insisted on punishing Zhang Tianqi at the administrative meeting today."

"Ah?" Xiao Chen was startled, but soon understood.For one thing, Zhang Tianqi usually made a lot of troubles, but this time it was known to the whole court. If Liu Yuan insisted on speaking for him, it would be too much cover-up; second, the matter between Zhang Tianqi and Xiao Song It is simply a scandal. I would definitely not be happy to entrust my daughter to such a person as a father. Even if she is really married, everyone will talk about it. .

The lesser of two evils, at this time Zhang Tianqi is bound to become the abandoned pawn.

Guo Hong said: "So Xiao Chen, I'm afraid Zhang Tianqi and Liu Yuan's daughter will be blown up. Be careful, I'm afraid he will break the pot."

"I can't solve this matter with care," Xiao Chen said calmly, "If he wants to make troubles, let him do it."

"If something happens, everyone's discussion will be ugly."

"I know," Xiao Chen smiled softly, "Thank you for reminding me, I am mentally prepared."

Xiao Chen hung up Guo Hong's phone and called Si Xiaoqi.

"An announcement has been made?" It sounded like Si Xiaoqi was more excited than Xiao Chen himself.

"Not yet, I guess I can see it when I get off work, but this matter has not gone away."

"Great!" Si Xiaoqi cheered on the other end of the phone, and Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing too.

"We have to celebrate, Xiao Chen, this matter must be celebrated, I'm so happy." Si Xiaoqi said cheerfully.

"Why are you so happy about my transfer?" Xiao Chen said, "There is no salary increase."

"No, no, no, money is not a problem at all," Si Xiaoqi said seriously, "The key is time. After you return to your chest, your working hours can guarantee our happy night life."

"Get out!" Xiao Chen couldn't help but hang up the phone with a smile. When the next patient walked into the consultation room, he felt that the emergency doctor's service attitude was exceptionally good today. Look at this smiling spring.

◇◇◇

At five o'clock, Xiao Chen began to hand over shifts to the doctor on the night shift, and the doctor taking over had already smiled and congratulated Xiao Chen, congratulating him on finally being able to leave this ghostly place.

Xiao Chen said with a smile: "I'll stay with you for another month and a half, don't rush me away."

Everyone laughed.

Until then, Xiao Chen suddenly became a little nostalgic for the emergency department. The work here is the hardest and most tiring, full of tension and crisis, which makes people feel like they are on the verge of collapse. race.The primary job of the emergency department is not to treat illnesses but to save lives, so only those who have been in the emergency department will realize the fragility and strength of life, short and long-lasting.

Xiao Chen doesn't dislike working in the emergency department, he is grateful for this year's emergency life from the bottom of his heart.This kind of life made him know how to cherish more, and it also gave him the opportunity to get to know Si Xiaoqi.

Xiao Chen changed his clothes, walked out of the emergency building and turned to the right. There was a row of science popularization corridors on the right. At the end of the science popularization corridor was a huge display board. It was the bulletin board of the hospital. His transfer order should be posted there. Of course, next to it should be Zhang Tianqi's punishment notice.

There were many people in front of the bulletin board. Zhang Tianqi stood in the center of the crowd with a livid face.

Xiao Chen subconsciously stamped his feet and wanted to take a step back, but after a moment of hesitation, he strode over - sooner or later, there is no way to hide.At this time, some people had already seen Xiao Chen, and congratulated him one after another, and he was finally able to get out of the emergency.After the congratulations, the crowd did not disperse, but more and more people had nothing to say.

Finally, Xiao Chen was surrounded by people and stood in front of the bulletin board, with Zhang Tianqi standing beside him.

They used to stand side by side in front of the head of the personnel department of Anhai Hospital, talking about the same learning experience and work plan, and thinking about the "Hippocratic Oath" that they had memorized back and forth as soon as they entered the school.

"Xiao Chen," Zhang Tianqi said lightly, "are you happy?"

The surrounding voices fell silent instantly.

"I'm very happy," Xiao Chen said, "You also know that I always want to go back to my chest."

"It took a lot of effort, didn't it?"

"It's okay, not much more than you."

"What trouble would it take to sleep with the director of the department?" Zhang Tianqi said coldly, "You are the easiest to do in this respect, and you don't pick men and women."

There was a sudden gasp all around, and some people even exclaimed.In an instant, Xiao Chen felt that the eyes of the whole world were cast on him, the weight was over a thousand weights, and each gaze had sharp spikes, which could bring a kind of physiologically perceivable pain to the body—really , He really felt a sharp tingling all over his body, reaching the bottom of his heart.

He took a deep breath and turned to Zhang Tianqi, raised his voice slightly and said, "It's true that I'm gay, but I have my own lover, and I won't force other girls to have an abortion and then break up with them."

"Girl?" Zhang Tianqi snorted, "Do you have the ability to make a girl pregnant?"

"Do you have the bottom line of being a human being?"

"What's wrong with me, at least I don't get promoted by sleeping with people."

"Really?" Xiao Chen smiled lightly, "Then who is your current girlfriend?"

There was another buzz of discussion around, and everyone looked at Zhang Tianqi with a bit of contempt, and someone had already mentioned Xiao Song's name softly.More people began to speculate who Zhang Tianqi's current girlfriend was, and the discussion suddenly turned around.

Zhang Tianqi's eyes widened suddenly, as if Xiao Chen had stabbed him where it hurt the most, he gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you say that... How did you say it back then..."

Of course Xiao Chen knew that what Zhang Tianqi was talking about was the "agreement" reached by the two in the cafe, but...Xiao Chen suddenly wanted to laugh because he remembered an old saying that "the evil done by the sky is forgiven, but the evil done by oneself is not to be lived".But he was too lazy to argue with Zhang Tianqi because he had already seen Si Xiaoqi behind the crowd.

The man was wearing a thick black coat, leaning against the pillars of the corridor with his hands in his pockets, his thick eyebrows were deeply locked, his eyes were full of violence, and the corners of his mouth were drawn into lines of extreme anger.He was trying his best to endure it because Xiao Chen said "Si Xiaoqi, you have to trust me, I can handle this matter".

Xiao Chen was a little anxious, there was no point in fighting with Zhang Tianqi here, it was boring and embarrassing for the two of them to expose their old background in public.Xiao Chen remembered that Si Xiaoqi said that today he would have a good celebration and that he would give himself a surprise, so he became even more anxious.If this is a gamble, there is no suspense about the outcome, Xiao Chen just wants to go home quickly to see what "surprise" Si Xiaoqi has given him.

"Zhang Tianqi," Xiao Chen said, looking directly into Zhang Tianqi's eyes, "I am indeed gay, and I am not afraid to let everyone know. Homosexuality is not illegal, and there is no law or regulation that prohibits homosexuals from being doctors. But I I want to warn you about one thing, don’t talk nonsense about some things, you will bear legal responsibility for slandering people’s innocence, not everyone is as talkative as Xiao Song!”

What Xiao Chen said was too calm, so calm that he even took it for granted, his face was calm, and his voice did not tremble.Standing behind the crowd, Si Xiaoqi felt that his heart was suddenly clenched by a big hand. He saw the most familiar light in Xiao Chen's eyes, confident, calm, with a little sarcasm.

He looked at Xiao Chen proudly, feeling that this proud Persian cat was indestructible.

Xiao Chenqing's gaze slowly scanned the circle, and the people around subconsciously avoided his gaze, and some even lowered their heads.Xiao Chen thought it was a little funny, he was not afraid of someone who came out, so why are they hiding?When he turned his eyes to Zhang Tianqi again, he suddenly felt a sense of relief, and with this sense of relief came infinite courage, as if he could declare war on the entire public opinion by himself.

As long as that man stands by his side like now.

"If," Xiao Chen said calmly, "if you continue to talk nonsense and slander me for having an improper relationship with someone, I don't mind going through the judicial process."

Zhang Tianqi froze there with a pale face, he remembered what Xiao Chen said, this is a gamble.He always thought that whoever bet on was more concerned about "profit", but he never thought that whoever bet on Xiao Chen was more "frank".

Xiao Chen nodded to the colleagues around him: "I'm leaving first, see you tomorrow."

The people around were stunned for a few seconds before responding, and said in twos and threes: "Ah, bye...bye."

Xiao Chen walked away without hesitation, and the crowd automatically parted a way for him.At the end of the road, Si Xiaoqi stood up straight, his brows were still tightly locked, but the violent lines in the corners of his eyes gradually dispersed, and his eyes softened.

Xiao Chen walked up to Si Xiaoqi and held out his hand, said with a smile, "Let's go, I'm hungry."

The two turned around and walked towards the gate of the hospital, with countless inexplicable gazes behind them.
