Quick wear don't collapse

When Carlisle saw Chang Yan again in the hospital, it happened to be rainy and rainy. For these special species, it was indeed a good weather that was not easy to reveal their identities, because they could walk unscrupulously among pedestrians without worrying about themselves. A side that is different from ordinary people is discovered.But ordinary people don't like this kind of gloomy weather very much, because they are prone to catch a cold in this cool time, annoying viruses spread wantonly in the air, and tiny virus cells quickly invade the human body with the continuous sneezing A weak immune system causes physical and psychological discomfort to people.

It’s just that the local residents of Forks are used to the climate where there is no sunshine all year round. They always take an umbrella when they go out, or put on a hoodie to cover their heads and go out if they find it troublesome. I have been used to it for a long time, and it is inevitable that some people will accidentally get sick because of this weather.

Today, Carlisle diagnosed three patients with viral influenza. Not long after they left, Paul, the director of the personnel department, walked into his office with a happy face, and yelled as he walked: "Oh, card!" Dr. Lun, let us warmly welcome this young and promising new colleague—Mr. Chang Yan!" He winked at Carlisle when he looked behind him, "You are all young and handsome male doctors Now the female compatriots in our hospital will be blessed, I believe you two will be able to get along well—”

After Carlisle nodded to Paul, he made eye contact with Chang Yan, and after a moment of surprise, he calmly put on a sincere smile, "I thought that if we haven't seen each other for a few days, it means that we have no chance to work together, but The facts now prove that my idea is wrong, just like what Mr. Paul said, I have a hunch that we will have a happy cooperation, Doctor Chang."

Chang Yan said without changing his expression: "I hope so, Dr. Karen, please forgive me if I don't understand anything in the future."

"Of course, I'd be happy to help you." Carlisle smiled gently and politely.

I don't know if it was for the two "young" doctors to work together happily, but Paul specially transferred Chang Yan's office to Carlisle's, and he called it in order to improve the tacit understanding between the two.

God knows that they are just a small town with a permanent population of just over 3000. Usually, it is rare to encounter even complicated operations. Why do they need two doctors to cooperate tacitly?For this reason, it can only be said that this Paul values ​​the two of them too much...

"I don't know if it will disturb you, Dr. Karen? If necessary, I will speak to Mr. Paul in person. I believe that the hospital will not be so stingy that they will not even give me a vacant office." Chang Yan Standing in front of Carlisle, staring at this space is just right for one person, but a bit too narrow for two people.

Carlisle waved his hand indifferently, and his tone was as gentle as ever, "Don't worry, as long as you don't think this room is too small, the office with two people is more popular than the one with one, and I like it better. "

Chang Yan glanced at him, "It seems that Dr. Karen likes people very much?"

"Yeah." Carlisle responded generously, "Sometimes a person will always feel a little lonely, but more people are more lively. After all, human beings live in groups, and I am no exception." And it is different from other vampires who treat human beings as Tsukuru likes food, he really likes fragile creatures like human beings.

"It can be seen." Chang Yan nodded, and then looked out of the window, the endless mountains in the distance were covered with darkness, "If there are more people, you won't be so lonely. It is always a good thing to have someone to accompany you in the long years. "He said something specious.

Carlisle couldn't help but thump in his heart, looking at the other's calm face, he couldn't figure out for a while whether he was caring about something, or just simply expressing his feelings?

He restrained the doubts surging in his heart, and said calmly: "It seems that Doctor Chang is very emotional. Is it because of the experience that he is so emotional?"

Chang Yan glanced at him with the end of his eyes with a half-smile, his eyes seemed to be full of deep meaning, but he seemed to have nothing, he said slowly: "It can be said that because I have encountered many things during my travels, sometimes You will have questions about the meaning of life—but sure enough, no matter what happens, the most important thing is to live well, once life is lost, other things will lose their meaning.” What he is now Everything he does is for himself to survive in the future, to live well in the world he originally belonged to.

Carlisle did not refute him, but simply agreed with his point of view, "You are right, life is indeed the most important thing, if it is not in a desperate and forced situation, no one will be willing to give up on themselves life.” He knew very well that his current body was nothing but a walking corpse, but in order to prevent himself from deteriorating, he decided to practice medicine to save people, even though in the eyes of other “similar” he seemed like a foolish joke, but this But it was one of the ways he could find to give some meaning to his endless life and to prove that he had existed.And he is also full of guilt for changing his family's approach. Although he made the choice for the purpose of saving people at the beginning, the result has already resulted... In fact, not everyone wants to become an undead monster.

——At that time, he had no choice but to follow his own heart and make the choice he thought was right, no matter whether this method was salvation or destruction in the eyes of the person concerned.

——Even, maybe what he had at the beginning was not only the purpose of saving people, but also maybe the idea of ​​finding a companion for himself... Selfishness does not have such an innocent and righteous purpose...

Carlisle, whose thoughts drifted to other places unconsciously, seldom appeared in front of people with a blank expression. His whole body seemed to be wrapped in a thick fog, making it difficult for people to see the reality. Chang Yan looked at it with slightly complicated eyes. He didn't make a sound to interrupt his thoughts.

Until a sudden voice broke the quiet atmosphere here: "Carlisle!"

——A magnetic voice between a boy and a young man suddenly sounded outside the door.

Carlisle immediately recovered his senses and looked towards the door. After seeing the familiar figure, he couldn't help but wonder, "——Edward?"

Chang Yan followed his line of sight to the door, and took a closer look at the big boy standing outside the door—handsome and profound features, pale as clear as marble skin, bloodless and thin lips, who was tight at this time They were tightly pressed together, and the dark golden pupils were also looking in Carlisle's direction full of worry, without even glancing at him.

There was a rare interest in his eyes—is the hero of this world?A vegetarian vampire about to break through racial boundaries and fall in love with a human girl?It looks like he has the capital to make adolescent girls obsessed, but I don't know how his personality is...

Carlisle coughed twice, and asked proactively, "Why are you here suddenly, Edward?" His voice focused on the word "suddenly".

"It was okay at first, but I heard you thinking—" He stopped abruptly in the middle of the sentence, because he realized that there was another person in this room at this time, and his eyes widened incredulously Looking at Chang Yan, his eyes were full of disbelief as if he saw a monster appearing with his own eyes.

Carlisle didn't know that he had heard what Chang Yan was thinking, but this did not prevent him from "correcting" the other party's "slip of the tongue" just now, "I didn't yell just now, Edward, you are too sensitive, I'm fine, don't worry too much."

——He didn't need to think deeply to know the reason why Edward would come over suddenly. The ability of the other party to hear people's heart sounds has both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that he can never quiet his ears, and someone's heart voice is always interfering The advantage is that he can always pay attention to the psychological situation of his family members, and he is always the first to know whenever something happens to their family members.

——So it's not surprising that he could guess that the other party came here because of his thoughts just now, but now he is not as confused as before.Generally speaking, he seemed to be in a low ebb just now, and his thoughts were inevitably a little negative, but now he has turned the corner, after all, he is already hundreds of years old... No, he is a vampire , if he still can't stick to his belief now, then he will go crazy in such a long time.

Edward Cullen was also relieved after making sure that Carlisle didn't continue to think wildly, but now he encountered something even more surprising!

He found that he couldn't hear the heartbeat of the man who was in the same room with Carlisle!Really couldn't hear anything - that's why he didn't notice the existence of this person at first, and he didn't even smell the obvious human smell!As for the other sounds of heartbeat, breathing, and pulse beating, they are all very weak. It is clear that the other party does not seem to be weak. Why?Why is this man's sense of existence so weak?Could this be the strange man Carlisle mentioned a few days ago?

He subconsciously stared at Chang Yan with an unfriendly gaze, as if he wanted to see the urgency of a flower from him. In his opinion, as long as things develop beyond the routine, there is an unknown, and The experience of being a vampire for so many years told him that this kind of unknown is usually not a good thing...

"Ahem, Edward." Carlisle naturally noticed his son's sudden change of guard posture. Although he didn't know what amazing thing the other party saw, it was not good to show it in front of others so aggressively. He went up The previous step prevented Edward from staring directly at Chang Yan, and smoothed things over: "This is the Chang Yan I mentioned to you, Dr. Chang, even if you are interested in his hometown, you don't need to be so anxious Right? I believe that as long as you ask carefully, Dr. Chang will not refuse to tell you." He cleverly described the other party's fierce gaze as an eagerness to have a fanatical interest in something, but comparing the two, There are indeed some similarities.

Although both Chang Yan and Edward, who were baptized by the other party's gaze, knew that he was talking nonsense, they both agreed and did not refute his statement. Edward obediently withdrew his staring gaze, while Chang Yan was very interested. Looking at him, "You are?"

"Edward, Edward Cullen." Edward didn't look at him anymore, his voice sounded muffled, as if he was reluctant to speak, and he didn't add any other details except for one name.

Carlisle added in a timely manner: "Edward is my adopted son. He is currently studying at Fox Middle School and is still a first-year student. Please don't mind him. He is not good at communicating with others." He smiled apologetically.

"Of course I don't mind." Chang Yan tilted his head, "In fact, I don't like to be noisy, too many people will make me feel bored, I am still a taciturn person at heart, I hope Dr. Karen will not Just mind."

Carlisle smiled in a gentlemanly manner and said that he would definitely not mind, because there is already an Edward in the family, so he can understand and get used to it.

Suddenly Chang Yan's voice changed, and he said, "But speaking of it, I'm also a little curious. Does Dr. Karen also value appearance? Could it be that children who are not good-looking should be carefully considered?" His tone With a little teasing.

Carlisle and Edward were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect such a serious-looking person like him to make such a joke, but Carlisle quickly reacted, and he smiled: "How could it be? It's just a coincidence. It suits my eyes, and as for looks, I really don't care at all." But even if he didn't care, the appearance of a vampire wouldn't be that bad.

Edward looked at Chang Yan suspiciously.

"Really?" Chang Yan smiled, "I see you father and son seem to have a very good relationship, and Edward is very protective of his father." He was referring to Carlisle's rather worried expression when he lost control of his emotions just now.

"Well, I'm very proud of this." Carlisle admitted without hesitation, looking at Edward with soft and loving eyes, and Edward returned a knowing look.

Chang Yan nodded, "It's really enviable. Many biological fathers and sons have a weak relationship, but they are really inferior to you. Sure enough, the bond of blood ties is not so close sometimes."

Carleigh paused, and then said: "You can't say that, but blood ties are never broken. Even if there are some exceptions, most of them still attach great importance to family members."

"Dr. Carlisle is indeed a gentle person. It seems that you should attach great importance to your family. A family with you as a parent must be very warm and united." Chang Yan blinked.

"Although what I say is boastful, I still have to admit that what you said is correct." Carlisle couldn't help laughing, agreeing with his statement, "My family is indeed very united." Even Edward, who had been silent by the side, nodded silently.

Chang Yan took the opportunity to ask, "Oh? Then I wonder how many people there are in Dr. Carlisle's family? Is it a big family?"

Carlisle didn't think there was anything to keep secret about it, and now almost everyone in the small town knew his family members, although they only knew superficially, "It's not considered a big family, but there are quite a lot of members. My family and I The wife has adopted three sons and two daughters, so there are seven people in my family."

Chang Yan looked a little surprised and said: "I really didn't expect that you adopted so many children—" There was a smile in his voice, "Aren't your children all handsome and beautiful like Edward?"

It was rare for Carlisle to get stuck, and when he met his meaningful eyes, he finally had no choice but to nod and said: "Although this is true, it does not prove that I am selecting children based on appearance, Doctor Chang."

Edward also found it funny to see his father's embarrassed look, and the corners of his tensed mouth could not help but raise a bit.

Chang Yan shook his head and said casually: "Hearing you say that, I want to get to know your family even more. A family full of handsome men and beautiful women will cause a sensation no matter where you go, right?"

Carlisle shrugged helplessly, pursed his lips slightly and said, "This is not what I want."

A smile floated in Chang Yan's eyes. Just as he was about to say something, a little nurse ran in from the door. When she suddenly raised her eyes and saw three handsome guys in the room, each with their own merits, she almost couldn't control her facial expressions. The red tide on her body quickly covered her body like a tide, she immediately lowered her voice, and said in a soft voice: "Well, I'm sorry to bother you, Doctor Chang—"

Chang Yan raised his eyebrows, "Is there something wrong?"

"Yes, Director Paul is looking for you. He said he will wait for you in the office—" the little nurse twisted her fingers uneasily, not daring to look up at him.

"I see, I'll be there right away." Chang Yan nodded to Carlisle and Edward, and walked out. Before leaving, he said to Edward, "If you are interested in my country, you can come to see it when you are free. I."

Edward didn't come back to his senses until his back disappeared into the corner of the corridor. After Carlisle patted him on the shoulder, he turned his head to look at him, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that he really wants me to Do you want to ask him about Huaguo?" You know, that was an excuse Carlisle gave him, and he wasn't really interested in one of the five ancient civilizations...Of course, he was a little bit interested, but he didn't follow others. The intention to know the relevant information, especially if the other party is still a "quite suspicious" person.

"If you want to go, there is no problem." Carlisle replied, and then got back to business: "But what did you see just now, why do you look like you are facing an enemy?"

Speaking of this, Edward regained his serious attitude. He frowned and explained what he had just encountered. When he heard that he almost couldn't feel Chang Yan's existence, Carlisle rubbed thoughtfully. He moved his chin and said, "No wonder I felt weird when I saw him for the first time. Maybe it's because his sense of existence is too weak? In addition, your mind-reading ability has actually failed, so it can be seen that he is not simple. I don't even know who he is..."

He glanced at Edward, and said seriously: "It seems that we should pay more attention to this new 'Doctor Chang', and we should be more careful in normal times."

"By the way, Alice tried it before, and she couldn't see the future of this person, which means that neither of us has any effect on him." Edward suddenly remembered this and added.

Carlisle's expression became a little serious, and he thought, "Anyway, let's talk to them when we get back, and let them be careful when they meet this person in the future, so as not to be found out that something is wrong."

Seeing his seriousness, Edward couldn't help but said, "You mean he might guess our identities, Carlisle?"

"It's hard to say." Carlisle said honestly, "But my intuition tells me that this person of unknown origin is likely to know our identity, so we should be careful, after all, I don't want to stay here for a few years. Just move—" He was a little helpless at the end.

Edward was taken aback, but felt that his reaction was a bit exaggerated, "Isn't it, Carlisle? We have only moved here not long ago, and we usually stay away from other people in the town. He just moved to Forks not long ago. God, we haven't shown any clues, and he has no way to know about us, and even he has only met us a few times, are you too nervous?"

Carlisle smiled wryly and didn't explain too much to him—why was he so worried?The reason is that years of experience told him that Chang Yan's attitude towards them is very unusual... It's not the kind of attraction that ordinary people feel about their appearance after seeing them, but a completely different kind—like treating them like The kind of certainty that they concealed things at a glance...

Moreover, what the other party said always made him feel like he was being tested, but no matter how he responded, the other party didn't care much, as if he didn't care about his answer at all, as if he already knew the truth In his chest, no matter how much he argues, it will be useless.

However, this creepy uneasiness as if being seen through did not carry the sense of crisis that would threaten his life safety. That is to say, although Chang Yan seemed to have seen through their identities, but But he didn't intend to do anything, at least Carlisle didn't feel hostility from the other party, or else the keen sixth sense unique to dark creatures would have warned him.

So the best way to deal with it now is to stay the same and respond to all changes, first see what the other party wants to do...

As soon as Carlisle made this decision, he saw Edward, who hadn't left yet, cast a look of doubt mixed with trust. He knew that the other party understood what he meant. Although he didn't understand the reason why he did this, the other party Still trust him unconditionally.

——This feeling of being supported by his family made him feel at ease from the bottom of his heart.

——But sometimes nothing can be hidden from the other party's mind reading skills, it really makes people have no secrets at all...

Carlisle sighed, looked up and met Edward's narrow gaze, he knew that his voice was heard by the other party again.
