Doctor, I'm really sick

"It's nothing, I saw you on TV just now, and I suddenly want to hear your voice."

Qin Zhao: "How about it, I'm not handsome! Is he handsome? I'm telling you, as soon as I walked on the red carpet just now, several female reporters passed by excitedly hahaha!"

Chu Sinian took a deep breath and tried to calm his tone: "Handsome."

Qin Zhao smiled triumphantly, "Hey hey hey", knowing that he was on the other end of the phone without thinking about it, and he must be looking like a fart again.

"By the way, did you see today's hot searches on Weibo?" Chu Sinian gripped his phone slightly: "There seem to be a lot of people guessing, saying..."

Chu Sinian tried his best to pretend to speak casually, but his heart was hanging high - he was reluctant after all, unwilling after all.He didn't even know what kind of answer he wanted Qin Zhao to give, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Oh, you said that." Qin Zhao said: "Sister Wang told me. Hey, that's how it is in the entertainment industry. Some people play dirty. But don't worry, it has nothing to do with me. You know, I'm a young man who emphasizes five things, four beauties and nine good things, and I never mess around."

A moment of silence answered him.

Not hearing Chu Sinian's answer, Qin Zhao became a little anxious, and quickly added: "I'm serious, don't listen to those marketing accounts. Before you, I never even kissed anyone's face. Not to mention looking for ducks and taking those explicit pictures. You have to trust me!"

Qin Zhao anxiously said "Hey Hey Hey" a few times before hearing Chu Sinian's voice: "I see. Of course I believe you."

Qin Zhao still looked worried: "Then why did you keep silent just now?"

The other end of the phone paused, and then said softly:

"The signal was bad just now."

"Really?"

Chu Sinian held the phone, his fingertips turned pale from excessive force.He almost used a lot of strength to control the trembling of his vocal cords and said:

"real."

The heart that hung high, finally fell heavily into the cold and hard soil, smashing into a pool of dirty mud.

"Right, one more thing."

Chu Sinian said: "Our hospital received a notice to send doctors to Tibet to participate in the medical assistance program for border Tibetans. I was selected and I will leave tomorrow."

Qin Zhao was taken aback for a moment, extremely surprised: "What? I'm leaving tomorrow? Why is it so urgent? How long are you going?"

After Chu Sinian explained a few words, Qin Zhao's surprise subsided.

"It turned out to be a secret plan of the military." Qin Zhao became worried: "Then you have to take good care of yourself."

Tears ran down his cheeks and splashed silently to the ground.Chu Sinian looked up at the black night sky.

"You too. When I'm not around, you must take good care of yourself. Be safe."

Qin Zhao corrected him:

"Hey, why are you robbing me of my words? It should be me wishing you peace and safety."

"Okay. Peace and well."

*****

Although Qin Zhao tried his best to shorten his trip to Berlin, when he returned to China two days later, he still didn't have time to see Chu Sinian off.When Qin Zhao opened the door of his "home" with Chu Sinian, wearing sunglasses and dragging a suitcase, Chu Sinian was no longer there.

In Chu Sinian's old house, everything was the same as before, and there was even hot porridge made by Chu Sinian in the kitchen.Obviously, he estimated the time of Qin Zhao's return and made it in advance.There is a small note on the rice cooker

"Remember to eat well and avoid raw, cold and spicy food."

It was still Chu Sinian's beautiful thin golden body, but the handwriting was a little rushed, and even splashed with water.Qin Zhao caressed this small piece of paper, only feeling a burst of warmth rushing through his heart.Laughed silently.

This guy.Don't forget to tell him before you leave.When he was a child?Obviously, he was forgetful when he went out, and he didn't even bring his laptop and toiletries.I don't know if it is inconvenient to go to the border of Tibet without these things?

According to Wang Pingping, the Tibet aid plan has a military background, and the secrecy is so high that Qin Zhaolian didn't know where Chu Sinian went in Tibet, so he couldn't visit him.However, it was precisely because of this military background that Qin Zhao felt a little more at ease.

With military protection, at least his doctor Chu is safe.

Time flies by inadvertently like quicksand in the palm of your hand.In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.The late autumn in Beijing seems to lose all the yellow leaves in the blink of an eye. After a snowfall, the urban forest with steel and iron columns is covered with silver, making it even more solemn and cold.

However, at night, when the orange warm lights are on, the severe winter cold in the north is still somewhat diluted.Qin Zhao was wearing an apron, holding a dumpling wrapper in his hand, and carefully filled it with dumpling stuffing.The concentration on his face is like studying a life-threatening surgical operation.

However, this operation failed in the end because of the clumsy technique of "chief surgeon" Qin Zhao.Wang Pingping came out of the kitchen holding a stack of dumpling wrappers, and when she saw Qin Zhao's "accident scene", she almost lost her temper.

"Didn't I tell you how to put the stuffing!?" Wang Pingping, with both hands full of flour, pointed to Qin Zhao's abstract work that looks like both paste-bottomed potstickers and boiled wontons, which is not like a serious dumpling: "You just give I packed a pile of shit?"

Qin Zhao retorted with a straight face: "Dignified manager, why are you talking so uncivilized! Why is this shit, it's art!"

Wang Pingping smiled and cursed and gave him a slap covered in flour, and put the dumplings into the pot.

The piping hot dumplings are cooked in no time.Qin Zhao happily picked out the uncooked dumplings made by Wang Pingping, filled a plate and put it on the tea table.But he was not in a hurry to eat, but took out his mobile phone, took a few photos in a row, and thought about the filter repeatedly before sending it out on WeChat.

[Today is the winter solstice, and it is snowing heavily in Beijing.Sister Wang and I made dumplings at home.How is it, I packed it well, right?Have you eaten dumplings?Don’t eat dumplings, be careful of your ears freezing~ (smile)]

The message was sent out, but I didn't receive the message immediately.But Qin Zhao has already gotten used to it.In the past few months, his contact with Chu Sinian has been intermittent like this.Every time Chu Sinian replied, there were only a few short lines of text, and there was neither voice nor video calls, saying that it was because of the bad signal at the border.

Fortunately, under Qin Zhao's strong request, Chu Sinian reluctantly posted the photos twice.He never takes selfies, so these two photos are local scenery.One is the majestic snow-capped mountains under the blue sky, and the other is the vast snow. The local young monks are dressed in bright red robes and stand under the cedar trees, looking quiet and solemn with lowered eyebrows.

From the looks of it, it seems to be pretty good.As soon as Qin Zhao received the photos, he set them as his mobile phone wallpaper and screen saver respectively.I watch it over and over again every day.It seemed like this would bring him closer to Chu Sinian.

"Hey, hey, silly boy, what are you doing staring at your phone instead of eating dumplings!" Wang Pingping poked him with chopsticks.

Only then did Qin Zhao come to his senses.But he was still not busy eating dumplings, but turned on the TV first.There is no need to tune the channel at all. When the TV is on, it will display "Tibet Satellite TV".

Qin Zhao ate dumplings while watching the local news.

Wang Pingping was slightly taken aback while watching the TV.

"...You, every day—"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Zhao suddenly raised his finger and said "shh", "Stop talking, the weather forecast has started!"

As he spoke, he put down the dumplings he had just eaten, then skillfully took out a small notebook from under the coffee table, and recorded it carefully while listening to the weather report.

"Lhasa, sunny, -4~10°C... Ali, cloudy, -7~8°C... Shigatse..."

After recording, he transcribed it on WeChat and sent it to Chu Sinian.

Wang Pingping looked at him with a complicated expression.Qin Zhao chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed for the first time:

"I'm afraid he doesn't know to check the weather when he goes out."

Wang Pingping said "Oh", and subconsciously glanced at her mobile phone in the corner of the sofa, then picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat dumplings.

After eating a few in a row, when she looked up, she realized that Qin Zhao was looking at her with a playful expression.

Wang Pingping raised her voice unnaturally: "Stinky boy, let's see what my mother is doing!"

"You didn't realize, what's wrong with the dumplings?"

Wang Pingping was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the taste in her mouth was actually sweet.The dumplings with three fresh shrimps are filled with sugar, so the taste is not so weird.Qin Zhao had already covered his belly with laughter: "Hahaha, I put the candy, let's see who is lucky! Sister Wang sends red envelopes!"

Sister Wang put down her chopsticks with a "slap", and made a gesture to hit him: "Stinky boy, you dare to punish me, I'll give you all the rotten dumplings!"

Outside the house is the cold wind raging, the frosty and snowy winter, but inside the house is steaming, warm laughter and laughter.No one noticed that in the corner of the sofa, Wang Pingping's mobile phone had just received these two messages.

One is the weather forecast for various places in Tibet.

The earlier one is a picture that has obviously been carefully modified by filters. A plate of snow-white dumplings that are as white as jade and slightly distorted is placed on the dining table, with heavy snow blowing outside the window behind it.

[Today is the winter solstice, and it is snowing heavily in Beijing.Sister Wang and I made dumplings at home.How is it, I packed it well, right?Have you eaten dumplings?Don’t eat dumplings, be careful of your ears freezing~ (smile)]
