recession

Tao Liyang went to the Kangxing parking lot and called Shen Xi.Shen Xi got connected quickly and asked him to go directly to the sleep center, saying that he would be there soon.Tao Liyang went upstairs and waited for a while, and he saw Shen Xi coming out of the elevator.

"What's the matter?" Tao Liyang was always a little distracted because of the conversation with Li Shuang, but Shen Xi's face was so ugly that it was obvious.It's also hard to ignore.

Shen Xi opened his mouth, swallowed again when he wanted to say something, frowned and raised his hand: "Go in and talk."

Shen Xi didn't make an appointment before coming, and when he arrived, there was still a patient in the consulting room.Seeing Shen Xi, the doctor was stunned for a moment, gestured to wait a moment, and waited for the patient to leave before coming out: "Miss Shen, why are you here?"

"Doctor Zhang, of course I came here because of Yun Qing's matter." Shen Xi pulled out the chair and sat down, "You said that he came that day and left because of something..."

"It's gone." The doctor hurriedly said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Xu directly."

Shen Xi smiled: "Yun Qing told you not to tell me, and you still asked me to ask him? Forget it, I won't let you down."

She took out a piece of paper from her bag and pushed it in front of the doctor: "If nothing happens halfway, who is this person? Doctor Zhang, the surveillance in your hospital is really difficult to adjust, and I owe a lot of favors."

The doctor's face was a little embarrassed, "Miss Shen, look at what happened."

"What's the matter?" Shen Xi asked with a seemingly good temper.

The doctor glanced at Tao Liyang.The latter was looking at the paper Shen Xi spread out, on which were printed surveillance images of two time points. About ten seconds after Xu Yunqing left the consultation room, another man chased him out of the consultation room.The picture is not clear enough, but it can be seen that Xu Yunqing is very panicked.

"It doesn't matter to him, just say it directly." Shen Xi said.

The doctor said helplessly: "Miss Shen, to be honest, I really don't know what's going on."

Once you get started, it's much easier.

"This is our new deputy dean, surnamed Su, Su Liang, who is also the director of the psychology department. Mr. Xu's insomnia problem, I have always suggested assisting in psychological counseling, because he didn't want to, so I didn't add it. But The medical records have been handed over to the psychology department a long time ago, and when he agrees, the counselor can follow up immediately. Ms. Shen, I must have told you about this, and you know it too. "

Shen Xi nodded: "Yes, I remember."

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief: "My case was originally not given to Dean Su, but he is the director of the department. If there is any doubt about the case of the general department, I will definitely discuss it with him. I don't know how he saw it. That day he came to me and said that the next time Mr. Xu comes to the hospital, let me inform him, don’t talk to you... I know it’s inappropriate, but I really didn’t care too much. I wondered if he was a celebrity Woolen cloth."

Shen Xi's eyelids twitched when he heard it: "You continue."

"Mr. Xu called me that day and said he was coming. I told Director Su, and he came right away. As soon as Mr. Xu arrived, he..." The doctor scratched his hair and repeated, "I I really don’t know what’s the matter. He didn’t even sit down, turned around and left, but he specifically told me not to tell you... Then Dean Su also followed out. After about twenty minutes, Su Yuan I came back after a long time, told me that it was okay, and told me not to talk nonsense, and left."

"When you called me a few days ago, I wanted to talk about it. But they both told me not to say it. I have something inappropriate about this matter, and I don't want to cause trouble for myself. One more thing is worse than one less thing. I didn't mention it. Besides, he is the dean, and I'm a little doctor, so I really don't want to offend anyone."

He didn't know or didn't know throughout the article, he was extremely innocent.Hearing Shen Xi's nameless anger, Tao Liyang pressed her shoulder in time before she got angry: "Okay, we probably know the situation. You still have patients, so don't bother me too much. But since Shen Xi doesn't ask, you can If I didn’t say it, then I wouldn’t mention it to others.”

Tao Liyang sat aside silently at first, and suddenly opened his mouth. The doctor was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "That's natural."

Tao Liyang nodded very gently: "Also, we plan to change another doctor for Yun Qing's next treatment, do you have any objections?"

The doctor smiled awkwardly: "Okay. I see."

"I'm a bad face, but you're picking up a red face." Walking out of the consulting room, Shen Xi glared at him angrily.

"You can't make things worse." Tao Liyang pressed his brows together, "You know better than me about being a human being. I'm also angry, but he's just a messenger. How else can you embarrass him?"

Shen Xi knew that what he said was reasonable, so she curled her lips: "Let's go to Su Liang first."

They went straight to the administration building of the hospital, but the door of Su Liang's office was closed.

"President Su asked for leave, what can I do for you?" the secretary asked with a good attitude and not lack of vigilance.

Tao Liyang perfunctorily passed by, went downstairs with Shen Xi, and in the garden in front, called his friend in the hospital.The friend rushed over quickly, and when he heard that he wanted to find Su Liang, his expression was very strange: "President Su has resigned."

"Resign?"

Tao Liyang and Shen Xi looked at each other: "When did it happen?"

My friend recalled that it was the second day when Xu Yunqing came to the hospital.

"His resignation letter has been handed in, but it has not yet been approved. Now only the leaders above the middle level know. I don't think the hospital is willing to let him go. It costs a lot of money to invite him to the psychology department." The friend said, comparing casually After counting, he asked Tao Liyang, "Are you looking for him urgently?"

"You can say that."

"I do have the number here."

"Are you still worried that I sold you?"

The friend laughed, and sent a series of numbers to his mobile phone after laughing: "I have another operation later, so I will leave first. I will contact you later when I am free."

It's getting late.Tao Liyang promised that Xu Yunqing would go back before dinner, and after a while, he would not be able to make it in time during the rush hour.

Shenxi's car was sent for maintenance. When it came, it was delivered by the company's driver, and now Tao Liyang took her back on the way.

"Are you going home?" Tao Liyang asked.

"Go to Yaoxing, there are still a lot of things to do." Shen Xi sat on the co-pilot and ate a sandwich. She was so busy that she forgot to eat lunch. She felt hungry only after leaving the hospital.Then he asked Tao Liyang: "Su Liang, should you contact me or should I?"

"I'll contact you, you are busy with your work." Tao Liyang turned up the temperature of the air conditioner: "I'll find someone to check it first."

"Do you already have an idea?" Shen Xi sized him up.

The setting sun shone on his face from the car window, a little dazzling.Tao Liyang was silent for a while: "I hope I guessed wrong."

Shen Xi didn't speak anymore. After finishing the sandwich in his hand, he took another sip of water before saying: "Then you come. But if there is anything, you must talk to me. You know how to measure. How is Yun Qing? Are you ok?"

"It's okay." Tao Liyang thought for a while and said, "I won't let him be bad."

After sending Shen Xi to Yaoxing, he went to the Drama Academy to buy mashed taro for Xu Yunqing.Back home, Xu Yunqing was still in the study.He stayed all afternoon, but only read a few pages of the script.Tao Liyang didn't expose this fact, nor did he mention anything about today.The state naturally pulled him to dinner.It wasn't until Xu Yunqing fell asleep at night that Su Liang's resume was called up.

In fact, Su Liang is quite famous in clinical psychotherapy.The long list of honors and titles made Tao Liyang's eyes hurt.But these are of no value to him.

The only thing that caught his attention was that Su Liang had been in the city hospital in Xu Yunqing's hometown for a full ten years, and the first time he worked was even before Xu Yunqing was born.Although it is also a tertiary hospital, its reputation is not very big. Su Liang came from the top medical school in the country, and he can go to a better place after studying all the way to a doctorate.But he never did, until he went to the United States for further study at the age of 37 and settled abroad, and he did not come back last year.

Tao Liyang leaned back in his chair and thought about it. He remembered that Xu Anru had a friend who was also a student of the same medical school, and he stayed there to teach after graduation.He hesitated for a while, and briefly considered whether to forget it, but finally got the contact information of Aunt Ji from Xu Anru.The other party agreed, saying that he would keep an eye out for him, and very appropriately did not ask too many questions.

The next few days passed peacefully.Xu Yunqing was always a little listless due to quitting drugs, and often couldn't sleep well at night.However, the headache problem gradually improved.

During the day, he basically spends his time in the study reading books or scripts, and when he can't sleep, he goes to the audio-visual room to pick out an old movie at random.Even though he doesn't live in one room, Tao Liyang can always find him up at the first time, and go silently to accompany him.Sometimes sharing a plate of tea is like going back many years ago.They tacitly avoided talking about some things, including the relationship between the two.But this rhythm doesn't seem to be bad, Tao Liyang occasionally even hopes that the call will never come.

In fact, when the bell rang, Tao Liyang did hesitate for a while before answering it.It was a night.The weather has been fine recently, and they seldom go out in the afternoon, so they went for an outing on a nearby mountain.Xu Yunqing's health was not as good as before, and he felt tired after walking around for a long time, so he went to bed early uncharacteristically.

Tao Liyang closed the study door before pressing the connect button: "Aunt Ji."

"Liyang." Ji Lian said, "didn't you ask me about Su Liang last time? I asked someone, and I also got a copy of his information for you, and sent it to your email, and some of it was not written up. Yes, let me tell you..."

The information Ji Lian gave was much more detailed than what Tao Liyang found by himself, and he added a lot verbally, but because Tao Liyang didn't ask very specific questions, most of the information was trivial and useless.Just when he was thinking that he might have to find someone new, Ji Lian changed the subject.

"If you are someone who wants to ask him for psychological treatment, this person's medical skills must be fine. But... Liyang, you are not an outsider, so Auntie will tell you directly."

"Auntie, tell me."

Ji Lian paused: "I also heard the news from his peers, but I can't guarantee whether it's credible. Su Liang may have some character problems."

Tao Liyang vaguely felt that the matter had reached a critical point, and his heart tightened, but his voice was still calm: "Auntie, how do you say this."

Ji Lian seemed to find it difficult to say: "I heard that he is gay...ah, Li Yang, I didn't mean his sexual orientation, don't get me wrong."

"I know."

Ji Lian smiled awkwardly: "I heard from a senior sister of his class that he had an affair with one of his former patients. It's not right for a psychiatrist to be with his own patient, and that man is still married Yes, he has children. His wife found out. You know that in those days, homosexuality was considered a mental disorder. His wife was also cruel enough to send him to a mental hospital... Later, the man committed suicide in the hospital .Su Liang’s family has some background, nothing happened, and he went to the United States...but this happened more than 20 years ago. No matter how big the trouble was back then, few people remember it now.”

Tao Liyang's Adam's apple twitched, he guessed part of it, but he didn't know that Xu Qiming committed suicide.

"It's really a crime to tell." Ji Lian sighed again, "I heard that the man's body was first discovered by his son. You also understand that at that time, many people cared about such things and sent them to the hospital. The treatment methods are also rough. Doctors and nurses look down on them, and it is impossible to take good care of them. The child sneaked into the ward without knowing what happened. He should be very young, maybe seven or eight years old. I was terrified, and I didn’t know where to come out to find someone. He held his father's body and stayed in the ward all night. It wasn't until the next day when the nurse made a ward round that he found out that the child was covered in blood. He might have been frightened and aphasic. He didn't cry or speak, just hugged the body Don't let go... I don't know what's going on now, it doesn't matter whether I'm still alive or not..."

There was a buzzing in Tao Liyang's ears.He felt that he couldn't hear what Ji Lian was saying, but he could clearly hear every word.Holding the last trace of luck, he reluctantly said: "Auntie, what is the name of that child, do you know?"

"……what do you say that is……"

Don't say it, don't say it.Tao Liyang thought.But Ji Lian remembered: "It's called Xu Ning. Yes, that's right, the child's name is Xu Ning. That boy's name is Xu Qiming."

Xu Ning.

Tao Liyang heard this name for the second time.The last time it was in Lu Yin's mouth.He was trying to kid himself that this wasn't anyone he knew and had no chance.

"Xu Ning." Tao Liyang whispered this unfamiliar name again.At this moment he heard a slight noise.

He turned his head, and the closed study door was pushed open when he didn't pay attention.

Xu Yunqing, or Xu Ning, stood quietly by the door.I don't know how long I've been listening to it.

"Are you checking me?" After Tao Liyang hung up the phone, Xu Yunqing walked in.

Tao Liyang's throat seemed to be blocked, he reached out to hug him, but Xu Yunqing pushed away resolutely.With a calm expression on his face, he walked to the chair in front of the computer and sat down, glanced at the screen: "Oh, it turned out to be Cha Suliang. How did you know him? Let me see..." He swiped the mouse up and down , frowned, "Why does he have so many titles."

"Yunqing." Tao Liyang said subconsciously.

"Huh?" Xu Yunqing turned his head to look at Tao Liyang.He was only wearing a gray nightgown, revealing his fair skin and collarbone.Tao Liyang was speechless for a while, but he just looked at him inch by inch unconsciously.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Yunqing suddenly reached out and grabbed his neckline, he moved closer to her, and whispered next to his ear, "Is it blood?"

How could Tao Liyang not understand that this is stupid.There was no blood on Xu Yunqing's body.Of course there can be no blood.He just couldn't forget the image he had just heard.

"It's really true." Xu Yunqing smiled, "Look, I've known you for too many years, and I know you too well, so it's not necessarily a good thing."

"No blood." He let go of Tao Liyang, and even smoothed the folds of his collar, pointed to himself, and said to him seriously, "It's all flowed in."

Tao Liyang's Adam's apple twitched, and he couldn't find any words at all.He also heard Xu Yunqing ask him: "Apart from Su Liang, what else do you know?"

"I've met Li Shuang." After a while, Tao Liyang said with difficulty.

"Oh." This answer was beyond Xu Yunqing's expectations. After a moment of stupefaction, he asked, "Is she okay?"

"She's going to America."

Xu Yunqing shook her head inexplicably: "I tried to persuade her, but it was useless. But for her, leaving here should be the best of all bad choices."

Such a question and answer is really weird.But Tao Liyang has no way to regain the initiative of this dialogue.Xu Yunqing could only let Xu Yunqing ask him again: "About Su Liang, and..." He paused, but did not mention his father's name, "How did the person you asked tell you?"

Tao Liyang was very regretful: "Yunqing, I'm sorry..."

"I'm asking you a question." Xu Yunqing curled up on the chair and looked up at him.

Tao Liyang had no choice but to follow him, but he really had no way to tell Xu Yunqing what he had heard.

After a long silence, Xu Yunqing spoke: "It's not true...except for the blood. No matter what you hear, others don't know it at all, only I know it."

Under the light, his face had a strange brilliance, but his eyes were very bright.He was right, the blood really flowed in, burning in his eyes at this moment: "Tao Liyang, do you want to know? I want to listen to the truth."

"I don't have to know." That's all Tao Liyang could say.

Xu Yunqing smiled shortly: "That's what I want."

"If you don't want to say it, I don't want to know." Tao Liyang couldn't bear his gaze, so he raised his volume a little.He really wanted to let Xu Yunqing come out, so he wanted to figure out what was stopping him.But if Xu Yunqing is unwilling, then he will walk over, that's all.He could always have a pimple in his heart, if it made Xu Yunqing feel better.Although Tao Liyang knew it well, it was impossible.

"This sentence is the truth." After a long time, Xu Yunqing commented with a smile.

Then he stood up and walked out the door.Tao Liyang tried to hold his hand again, but was thrown away again.The strength is very heavy.

"I'm tired." Xu Yunqing didn't look at him.

After walking outside the study door, he said another sentence, with a tone that could not distinguish between joy and anger: "Tao Liyang, don't say sorry in the future. I don't need this, and neither do you."
