The selfish gene

The male nurse was dozing off, but was awakened by the sound of me pushing the glass door open, rubbing his eyes and looking up.

"I'm here to see Dr. Ji." With my hands in my thin woolen coat, I was panting unconsciously when I spoke because I was in a hurry to run just now.

Maybe my familiar and natural tone caused a misunderstanding to the other party. The male nurse pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor and said, "Is this Dr. Ji's friend? He just went upstairs for rounds."

This is the first time I heard that veterinarians still need to make ward rounds.

He strode upstairs.The second floor is well lit, and the huge space is divided into three small rooms. Iron cages of different sizes are placed against the walls of each room, some of which house animals, while others are empty.

A few barks came from the ward facing the stairs. I felt Ji Chenfeng was there. I went over and saw him with his back turned to me, checking an IV for a Pomeranian.Teddy next to him might have been woken up, he kept pawing at the iron door, and whimpered in series.

"I'm not always like that."

Ji Chenfeng shook his hand and slammed it on the cage beside him, making a loud noise.In an instant, the puppies in the ward barked excitedly.In a chain reaction, the dogs in the other two wards also started barking.

I frowned and got a headache from the noise, so I simply closed the door of the ward where Ji Chenfeng and I were in, to isolate the noise from outside.

Ji Chenfeng stabilized the machine that was almost knocked down by him, turned around and looked at me, the wrinkles between his brows were deeper than mine.

He didn't speak, but his eyes were full of condemnation.

"Sorry for scaring you." Although I didn't feel guilty, I still took the initiative to apologize to him.

"On the second floor, only medical staff and pet owners are allowed to come up."

Is the subtext to drive me down?

It's difficult.

"The people downstairs asked me to come up." I explained to him, "Do you remember me? My tortoise is hospitalized here, and I came to see it."

He nodded and stretched out his hand towards the doorknob over me: "It's not upstairs, I'll take you there."

The small and cramped space, coupled with the smell of fresh tobacco on his body, made the addiction in my body ready to move.I involuntarily took a deep breath, feeling that the choking smell of cigarettes suits him better than the smell of cheap soap.

The space in the ward is already narrow, so he tried his best to turn his body sideways so as not to touch me.Since neither of us is short in stature, it seems that he squeezed past me.

I was so close to him that I could clearly see the little green light on the cochlear implant.

I tried to beautify myself as much as I could, and added embellishments: "That person touched my brother in the convenience store, and I just taught him a lesson for him. Normally, I'm not such a violent person."

I imagined Ji Chenfeng's many reactions, but none of them were like this - before I finished speaking, he covered the cochlear implant on his ear, closed his eyes and mouth tightly, as if he was enduring something Great pain.

"Are you okay?" His reaction was too intense and weird. I wanted to get closer to see his situation, but he pushed me away in the next second.

Heavy, my whole back hit the iron cage, I lost my balance and staggered and sat down, triggering another barking BGM.

Hypoglycemia, being cut in line, being pushed down for no reason... Even if I tell myself to be patient again and again, I can't bear it now.

I raised my head and glared at Ji Chenfeng: "Are you sick?"

Ji Chenfeng didn't seem to expect that he would attack me suddenly, Ji Chenfeng's face was blank for a few seconds, then he tore off the cochlear implant and stuffed it into the pocket of his white coat.

"Sorry, there seems to be something wrong with the instrument." He held out his hand to me, "Are you okay?"

I could open his hand, reject his apology, and walk away.This is what I really want to do, and it's one of the things I do most often.But like quitting smoking, once the effort has been put in, I hate it more when it falls short.At this juncture, it is refreshing to walk away, but what I want is not this momentary pleasure.I want to solve this "big trouble" once and for all.

So, don't lose your temper.

"It's okay." I muttered, took his hand and stood up with strength.

Before I could stand still, he withdrew his hand, as if he would be infected with horrible bacteria that could not be cured if he was in contact with me for a second longer.

This guy is so disgusted with humans, how does he get along with his classmates and colleagues?

Cursing in my heart, I silently followed him, went down to the first floor, and saw Xiaocao lying quietly in a glass tank in a small room that seemed to be an office.

The white coverings around Xiaocao's eyes have subsided a lot, and she seems to be in good spirits overall, with a high probability that her life is not in danger.

"Not bad..." I was about to turn around and praise Ji Chenfeng when I found him leaning against the door, a little absent-minded.

Without the cochlear implant, he lost the ability to communicate and could no longer receive any information from the outside world.

so troublesome.In just a short time, I got tired of such a difficult way of getting along.From this point of view, Zhuma will break up with him, maybe there is part of the reason for it-not everyone can tolerate a lover who cannot give emotional feedback in time.

Ji Chenfeng may have sensed my gaze, and looked up at me.

"Speak slowly, I can read your mouth," he said.

I took out my phone directly and motioned him to scan my business card.

He hesitated, but added my contact information anyway.

[Xiaocao seems to be recovering well, thank you, Dr. Ji. 】

The moment after these words were uttered, Tang Bi'an's voice came faintly from outside the office.

"I'm here to look for someone, and it's just that bad-tempered person who just came in..."

I yelled out the door: "Here!"

Tang Bi'an paused for a moment, then came over.

"Master, it's all done. That uncle is fine. I stuffed some money into his pocket and helped him to the wine shop. The boss knows him and promised to see him until he sobers up." He glanced out of the corner of his eyes When I saw the glass tank on the desk, I suddenly became excited, "It's the little turtle! The little turtle is really alive!"

He rushed over and looked at the glass tank again and again, as if to confirm whether this tortoise was the same as the one he knew.

Since Tang Bian came in just now, Ji Chenfeng immediately retreated from the door to the corner, showing a strong willingness to refuse to socialize.

【This is my brother. 】

I sent him a message.

He glanced at his phone, then looked up at me, and typed back to me with one hand.

[In three days, I should be able to go through the process of leaving the hospital. 】

Three days, what can three days be enough for?Can't do anything for three days.In these three days, I have to think of other ways to interact with him.Otherwise, after three days, if you find other reasons to approach him, you will appear uneasy and kind.

【Okay thank you. 】

After I politely replied, I turned my head and said in another tone: "Hey, puppy."

Tang Bi'an looked back at me, he was very used to me calling him that.

"Let's go." I lifted my chin towards the door.

"I'll see you next time." He rubbed the turtle's carapace and said goodbye softly.

Tang Bian walked out of the office humming like a mentally retarded person, while Ji Chenfeng just leaned against the corner and said nothing the whole time, as if shrinking himself into an inconspicuous dot as much as possible, so as not to let anyone discover his existence.

【goodbye. 】I stopped in front of him, and while sending the message, I waved to him.

He looked up at me, then quickly lowered his eyes.

"Goodbye." He spoke back to me in a jerky voice.

The croissant is soft and sweet, and when it falls into the stomach, there is a sense of satisfaction that has never been felt before.

After eating four in a row, I wiped my hands and threw the remaining half bag of bread in the backseat.

"Master, you seem to like the croissants here?" Tang Bi'an raised his voice, trying to cover up the rushing wind.

Raising the car window, I carefully recalled the few croissants just now.Strictly speaking, the taste is not very good. It is just because my stomach is empty and everything tastes delicious, so I have a little favor.In normal times, this kind of stuff is impossible to appear on my dining table, let alone imported.

Just like... Ji Chenfeng.If I hadn't had to, I really had no other choice, and I wouldn't have anything to do with people like him.

"I don't like it, I'm not allowed to buy it next time." After finishing speaking, I adjusted the back of the chair, closed my eyes and rested.

Because of the new doctor, I was summoned by Sang Zhengbai after a long absence.The meeting place was in the Michelin restaurant in his own shopping mall, and only one hour was reserved because he still had important clients to meet.

In the elegantly decorated box, I sat opposite Sang Zhengbai across a 1 meter round table. Tang Zhaoyue stood quietly behind Sang Zhengbai, shaped like a perfect wallflower.

As far as I can remember, she is Sang Zhengbai's secretary. She has been with Sang Zhengbai through ups and downs these years, and they are the best partners in their careers.

Apart from appearance, Tang Bian has nothing like Tang Zhaoyue.Even if Tang Bi'an has a bit of fucking intelligence, he will be reused by Sang Zhengbai, so that he won't be treated like a dog by me.

"The new doctor's surname is Zhou. The one who came back from abroad is only a few years older than you."

There was a cage of traditional snacks on the table. Although it was already six o'clock, I didn't wake up until four o'clock. I had no appetite at all. I was tired and sleepy. I just wanted to end the topic and go back to sleep.

"People of the same age should have a common language. Go and meet him tomorrow to see if it suits your eyes." Sang Zhengbai picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it in his mouth. It was not an attitude to discuss with me, but just to inform him. .

I didn't move my chopsticks, and pointed my index finger on the table irritably, no matter how impatient I was, I obediently nodded in agreement.

"understood."

"Look at your face, did you stay up late last night and dance disco again?" Sang Zhengbai put down his chopsticks, and said in a deep voice, "I told you not to associate with Zheng Jieyuan and the others, why didn't you listen?"

As long as he asks Tang Zhaoyue to inquire for a while, he should know that I haven't seen Zheng Jieyuan and the others for more than a month.My complexion is poor, purely caused by insomnia.

From childhood to adulthood, he was just pretending to care about me, but in fact it was too troublesome to even ask me about my recent situation.

He keeps asking a psychologist for me, not because he really wants me well, but because he is afraid that I will go crazy again one day and embarrass him.

Looking at Sang Zheng's straight and serious face opposite, another younger and more handsome image gradually overlapped with it.Although they don't look alike, their indifferent expressions are surprisingly the same. Should it be said that they are father and son?

"There's been very little contact with each other, but didn't you say so, don't make too much trouble, after all, he is Uncle Zheng's son." Picking up the Pu'er in the small cup, he drank it in one gulp, slightly suppressing the anger in his heart .

As always, the whole meal was spent in training.When the time came, Tang Zhaoyue stepped forward to remind him in a low voice, Sang Zhengbai wiped his mouth with a napkin, got up and said, "Eat slowly, I'll go first."

Without waiting for me to say anything, he walked away quickly, walking with the wind.

eat a fart.

Glancing at my unmoved bowls and chopsticks on the table, I snorted coldly, picked up the small cup and put it in front of my eyes for a closer look.

It looks pure and flawless, and touches it delicate and smooth.

With a sudden throw, the teacup hit the ground heavily and fell to pieces.Just like my current mood, it is also a mess.
