Heartburn

Chi Zhao wanted to cure Fu Nan'an's eyes, it wasn't the first day he thought so.

If it were someone else, they might just think about it casually, but Chi Zhao's idea is by no means a fantasy.Fundus disease is a worldwide problem, but the growth of medicine and the projects he personally participated in have given Chi Zhao the confidence. The technical problems that have plagued the ophthalmology department for decades cannot be solved overnight, but Chi Zhao has always been a person who dares to think For those who dare to do it, medicine is a discipline that defies the sky and changes fate. If he wants to, then he will definitely work hard to do it, no matter what hardships it takes.

Chi Zhaoyuan took a total of two days off during the Chinese New Year, and after that, he started a busy and boring research life. He was always reluctant to leave, and the pressure of scientific research could not be summed up in a few lines. They were stepping on the footsteps of their predecessors. Walking on the shoulders is still extremely difficult, but because it is the direction of the heart, no matter how hard or tired it is, it will not feel difficult.

In March, Fu Nan'an's arm fully recovered. In April, the streets were warm with spring and flowers bloomed. Summer began in May and autumn began in August. Under Fu Nan'an's supervision, Chi Zhao's body did not have any problems again, and the days went on like this Day by day, and two years later, the hard work of Chi Zhao's project team finally paid off.

In fact, some people have been working on the artificial retina project before, just because the number of electrodes is too small to meet daily needs. When Chi Zhao completed his two-year postgraduate period, their project made a breakthrough in animal experiments. The original maximum of 49 electrodes made by other project teams has been increased to more than 3000, which is enough to meet the daily needs of patients. The next step is to enter clinical trials in stages.

Needless to say, all the hardships are worthwhile the moment you get the results. Although the current research results are still a long way from the technology being marketed and mature, you will definitely encounter various problems in the future. However, they have successfully taken the first step, the most difficult step, so they will not be afraid no matter how hard or tiring they will be.

Research on major topics requires the cooperation of various fields. Chi Zhao’s research direction is biased towards the basics. He has no clinical experience, so he can do little after the project really enters the clinic. The production of artificial retinas also involves medical devices. The cooperation of manufacturers is an area that Chi Zhao has never been in contact with, so after the completion of his own research, Chi Zhao chose to return to China first, waiting for the development of the project in China, and continue to shine in his new position.

"Really go back like this?" Chi Zhao's tutor was naturally unwilling to let him go back just like that, and was still persuading him the day before he left. The tutor patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Chi, you He is a very good student, do you really not consider staying? You can consider continuing to follow me, and I am willing to offer you very good conditions."

The tutor spoke sincerely, and Chi Zhao also replied sincerely: "I really won't stay."

No matter how you say it, we have been together for two years, and it was not a pleasant thing when we parted, but Chi Zhao's tone was still firm: "I like the environment here very much and thank you for your cultivation. I will pay attention to future projects at any time. But it's time for me to go back, even if I stay, I can't help you much."

It is indeed time for Chi Zhao to go back, not only that the scientific research task has been completed, but also because there are still people in the country who are waiting for him and caring about him.

Before coming here, Chi Zhao promised Fu Nan'an that he would go back for at most two years. Now that the two-year period has expired and the project has seen the dawn of success, Chi Zhao returned to Fu Nan'an's side as promised, returning to the place he missed the most.

Chi Zhao went back with the results of the project. After returning to China, he was introduced to the best eye hospital in the city as a talent. In addition to work, the two of them also accomplished a major event - Fu Nan'an took Chi Zhao to meet his parents.

They didn't blindly choose to meet their parents after falling in love, but adopted the method of boiling frogs in warm water to let the two elders get used to it. First, Fu Nan'an made side remarks, and then Chi Zhao occasionally chatted with the two elders.It is not easy for a son who has never been in a relationship to suddenly find a partner of the same sex, but the facts have proved that the decision of the two is correct. During the two years of subtle influence, the two parents accepted Chi Zhao smoothly. Before they officially met, the two had already treated Chi Zhao as their own son, and even the day Chi Zhao returned to China, the two elders and Fu Nan'an went to the airport to pick him up.

When he learned that he was going to meet Fu Nan'an's parents, Chi Zhao was still a little nervous. Chi Zhao hadn't experienced any big storms and waves in the past few years of research, but he still carefully confirmed with Fu Nan'an his parents' preferences, and bought what he liked. I brought a lot of things back home, the Ceylon black tea that my uncle likes, the special square scarf that my aunt likes, and the middle-aged and elderly calcium tablets that are good for the health of the two... He mentioned his throat, but when he met Fu Nan'an, his parents cared more about him than their own son. His uncles and aunts kindly pulled him to ask questions, and after returning home, the aunts even cooked a table full of meals by themselves.

"Come here, Xiaochi, try this grilled chicken wings made by Auntie. I heard from Nan'an that you like to eat this. I went to the market to buy it early in the morning. It's absolutely fresh."

"By the way, there is also this fish soup. You are working hard as doctors. You should replenish your body. Auntie will serve you a bowl."

This kind of enthusiasm is definitely not faked, and all kinds of small details can't deceive people. After the meal, the aunt brought a fruit plate. The washed apples were cut into cute bunny shapes, and Fu Nan'an put a piece into his mouth. Li, was startled by the strange shape again: "What is all this?"

"Rabbit apple." Fu's mother said, "I learned from others on the Internet. You feel that the two pointed ones are rabbit ears."

Fu Nan'an was amused by her description: "Why haven't I seen you so delicate before?"

"It must not be the same as before." Fu's mother said confidently, "Isn't it because we, Xiaochi, are here."

Fu Nan'an smiled: "Who is your son?"

Fu's mother replied: "Then you must not be compared with Xiaochi."

In fact, they are all jokes, but Chi Zhao likes this kind of family atmosphere very much. Fu Nan'an's parents never ask the two of them to do anything, and some only communicate and communicate on an equal footing. No wonder Fu Nan'an even in the most arrogant university Times lost his eyesight and did not recover from it. In addition to friends, parents are also by his side.

This kind of company is also gentle and powerful. After meeting Fu Nan'an's parents, Chi Zhao felt for the first time how much family affection affects a person.

The days of getting along with the two elders were more pleasant than imagined, but no matter how happy they were, there were differences, and it was time to leave in a blink of an eye.The two elders have already retired, bought a house by the sea, planted grass and fished every day, but Chi Zhao and Fu Nan'an still had jobs.

It’s always a different feeling to have family members caring about them. Before leaving, the second elder packed all kinds of food for Chi Zhao and the others, including homemade sauce and steamed buns. If it weren’t for the two of them not driving, Chi Zhao would have been suspicious. They planned to vacate the house directly, and the night before they parted, Fu's mother pulled Chi Zhao aside again and said that she wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

"Auntie, what do you want to tell me? Just say it straight." Sitting in the study on the second floor, Chi Zhao was still a little cautious. After all, he was the one who confessed to Fu Nan'an first, and he broke Fu Nan'an up. Curious, so when he faced Fu Nan'an's parents, he always felt a little unspeakable guilt. Given the domestic environment, same-sex love is not something worth publicizing. Chi Zhao looked at Fu Nan'an's mother a little cautiously. After laughing, Mother Fu also laughed quickly, her tone was very gentle: "Don't see Wai Xiaochi like that, Auntie called you here for no other purpose, just want to say thank you."

Chi Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Thank you?"

"Thank you," Fu's mother looked up at Chi Zhao, her tone was very sincere, "Thank you for being willing to be with Nan'an."

Speaking of this, Chi Zhao was still full of doubts. There were many people chasing after Professor Fu, but Fu's mother's tone seemed to be that Professor Fu didn't want anyone, and Fu's mother obviously knew what he was thinking, and explained to him very gently. : "There are a lot of people chasing Nan'an. It's not that we haven't introduced him to him before, but you are the only one who can make him open up. Nan'an has been a very independent child since he was a child. He rarely complains to us, even if he gets such a He has never complained that his father and I brought him the disease, he is excellent, I know, but I also know that he has silently shouldered a lot."

So parents and parents are indeed different. Chi Zhao never felt the warmth of family affection since he was a child, but Fu Nan'an met two parents who really loved him. Fu's mother told Chi Zhao that they really couldn't accept their son and the same sex at first. Together, they struggled for a long time. Later, seeing that Fu Nan'an really liked her, they slowly learned to accept it.

"Actually, I just hope he can be happier. Since he lost his eyesight, he seldom smiles. His father and I can't help him if we want to help him. He walks his own way." Said When she got here, Mother Fu smiled helplessly. Her fingers stroked her bun, and she moved her true feelings when she spoke. She really loves her son, so her tone is extraordinarily sincere, "To be honest, we never I don’t ask him to be rich, I just want him to be happy, so I’m really grateful that he can meet you, someone who understands and loves him and can make him happy.”

"I sincerely wish you all." Fu's mother said, "Those gender orientations and age gaps are all false. I hope you will be happy forever."

Auntie's words were too sincere, which made Chi Zhao's heart sore. While feeling sorry for Fu Nan'an's past, he was also grateful that Fu Nan'an had met such enlightened parents.

"Auntie, don't worry," Chi Zhao assured Fu's mother, "We will be happy."

He paused, and added solemnly in his heart: I will definitely cure Professor Fu's eyes.

By this time, Chi Zhao was no longer the ignorant young man who was still an intern. Two years of tempering had made him grow a lot.When Fu Nan'an was injured, Chi Zhao could only hold his hand and say "I want to heal your eyes", but now, he has absolute confidence to say to Fu Nan'an, "I can heal your eyes", "I want to heal your eyes." The leap between " and "ability" can only be understood by those who are involved in it. Their project has entered the clinical approval stage, so it is nothing more than a matter of time before Fu Nan'an recovers his eyesight.

"Professor, I'll let you see." Sitting on the train back, Chi Zhao solemnly shook Fu Nan'an's hand.

He is no longer the intern who squatted on the ground and memorized memorizing because of someone else's words. He has been growing and trying to shine.

Fu Nan'an smiled, held Chi Zhao's hand back, and interlocked his fingers: "I know, I'll wait."

That's right, Fu Nan'an has always known that this is his Chi Zhao, his favorite student, and also his favorite boy, firm, brave, and persistent.Such a child is full of light, he should be favored by nature, he has the desire and the strength, he has been shining for a long time, so what he wants should be his.

What Chi Zhao wants should be his, no matter it is a year or ten years, Fu Nan'an will be able to see it one day.

It is both expectation and necessity. One night three years later, Chi Zhao received a transoceanic call from his mentor.

"Chi, it's ok, this time it's really ok!"
