well-directed

Su Chi and Lin Ruqing had nothing to talk about aside from the doctor-patient relationship.Although they had added WeChat during their stay in the hospital, they were only lying down afterwards, so the two fell into a state of silence again.

Lin Ruqing uttered the word "you" again, with a paid ending, and then gestured a few times, trying to express the turmoil in his heart. Su Chi frowned and said, "If you have nothing to say, don't say it, and don't make guesses if you have nothing to say."

He changed the subject sensibly: "I want to ask, do you still stay in the attached hospital for post-treatment treatment, or come to the provincial hospital?"

Su Chi glanced at him inscrutablely and said, "You don't need to beat around the bush like this, you can just ask 'if you can choose, who do you want to be the chief surgeon'."

He spoke very calmly, Lin Ruqing shrank his neck.This entertainer, who is as brilliant as the sun at noon, always shows an extremely oppressive and calm aura on serious occasions.Lin Ruqing wanted to explain, but he continued on his own: "My answer is..."

Lin Ruqing knew the answer by seeing the words he was about to utter, but before he could make a sound, he grabbed his sleeve heavily and didn't let him continue.Su Chi saw his eyes staring past him behind him, and looked back vigilantly. A corner of a white coat floated out from the half-hidden door of the roof. The two of them didn't speak any more.

He was about to go out as if nothing had happened. After all, the rooftop is huge, and what the two of them said would not fall into the ears of those who came.Before they pushed open the door, the person behind the door opened first - Qi Jingchen.

The three of them looked at each other, Su Chi raised his hand and greeted him with a smile, Qi Jingchen grabbed his wrist and walked up to the rooftop, Lin Ruqing seized the opportunity and ran away with oil on his feet.

Su Chi once again had the opportunity to talk about life on the rooftop.Standing in the same position as before, Qi Jingchen didn't speak, but stared straight at the asphalt road downstairs.Su Chi took a deep breath, intending to break through the embarrassment and asked, "How do you know we're here?"

"Ask the nurse." Su Chi remembered what Lin Ruqing said to the nurse before he left his post and brought him up without authorization.

He tentatively looked into Qi Jingchen's eyes, but when he met the man's eyes, he moved away like a frightened animal.He clasped the slightly rusty iron fence and said, "How much have you heard?"

"Half." Qi Jingchen spoke like a dead fish, poking and moving, Su Chi complained unhappily in his heart.He felt that this person wanted to ask him something, but he just didn't say it out. Su Chi was very upset because he wanted to cover it up.

He thought carefully about Qi Jingchen's words and the scene just now, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, no matter which part he heard, this is a big deal!Su Chi felt that there were some questions that he couldn't answer for a while, so he decided to play haha ​​and run away.

He did exactly that: "I won't delay you if there's nothing else, I'm going home to cook, come back early in the evening..."

He turned sideways and was about to leave, but Qi Jingchen quickly stepped in front of him and blocked the way.Su Chi didn't want to force his way in. The two of them were like teachers and students who were caught by the dean to smoke on the roof and refused to cooperate with the investigation. One lowered his head and the other looked sullen.

Qi Jingchen finally took the initiative to speak, but what he said made Su Chi's heart cold again: "What if I tell you that I haven't been on the operating table for three years?"

Su Chi thought, this is the most boring and meaningless question in the world. Leaving aside whether he has the right to choose, he only knows of three permanent operating tables in the attached hospital. Besides, he is in good condition now. One and two are thinking in the worst direction, how can he accept it as a client?

Qi Jingchen said that he has never been on the operating table, so what can he do... Su Chi thought about it angrily, and suddenly recalled this sentence, raised his head with surprised eyes and asked, "You...? Seriously?"

As soon as he said it, he wanted to slap himself. The man's eyes contained an expression of anxiety and even collapse that he had never seen before. No one would choose to lie under such circumstances.

Qi Jingchen opened his mouth, the complex emotions in his eyes faded a little, and he retreated into the depth, and said: "There was an accident in the operation three years ago..."

Su Chi looked into his eyes, put his index finger on his mouth and shook his head, motioning him not to continue.Qi Jingchen looked at him suspiciously, Su Chi put down his hands and said softly, "I know about that medical trouble."

There was a lot of news and public opinion, and hordes of media rushed in, so that no one paid attention to this male star who was later admitted to the hospital.He can even swagger past the camera without anyone bothering to ask him a question.

Of course, at that time, his left eye was covered with gauze, or he was sloppy in a hospital gown, so he was in a mess.

Qi Jingchen was so close to him that the tips of their noses were almost touching. In the scorching dusk, it made people's mouth feel even more parched. Su Chi simply took another half step to close the distance between them.He put his arms around Qi Jingchen's neck, sticking to his neck, this was a scene he had imagined many times.But I don't want to be in such a situation full of revolutionary friendship.

"You know, I don't get to choose who the hell it is," he said.

"But as long as you are willing, then I will be willing."

Su Chi quickly let go of Qi Jingchen, smiled and said, "Then, Director Qi will return to the operating table as soon as possible. Although this blessing is not so friendly to me. Of course I don't want that day."

After finishing speaking, Su Chi turned around and rushed down the rooftop. All his shyness and ecstasy after eating Qi Jingchen's tofu rushed out of the Provincial Court amidst the crowd.He didn't quite remember if anyone stared at this fast running man, who was wearing a mask, hat and sunglasses, and mistook him for an outlaw.

Until the moment he opened the door, he squatted in the porch and laughed, even a little decisively.Because he thought, this is enough, they have reached the closest distance he can imagine, this is enough.

In the evening, Qi Jingchen got off work normally, and his life was a little more leisurely than in the attached courtyard.Both of them tacitly didn't mention the matter on the roof, Su Chi asked: "How long will it take to punish those people in the village?"

Qi Jingchen shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

Su Chi thought for a while. When he went for a stroll, he saw a villager whose operation was over. He heard from the nursing doctor that it was quite successful.So after excluding the medical level, he had a vague guess: "Can't you pay the money?"

Qi Jingchen took a bite of his meal and nodded, Su Chi sighed, poked the braised pork in the bowl and said to himself: "This is the most helpless."

In the next few days, one village after another was basically moved in, and the reason that the hospital had been prevaricating to "wait for everyone to be checked before making a definitive diagnosis" gradually became unreliable.The provincial hospital was overwhelmed by the 20 yuan surgery fee and the estimated postoperative cost that could not be made up.

The Department of Ophthalmology also suffered a lot due to insufficient beds.Until half a month later, on a rainy day, the clouds turned dark gray and the air was stuffy, depressing an unknown fire inside and outside the hospital.

Against the background of the dark clouds, the corridors and incandescent lamps of the hospital look extraordinarily holy and pure white.Several families living near the elevator, some of them are notorious thorns in the village.Together, several people blocked the female doctor who came out of the elevator and asked: "Our field has been left unattended for a few days. This disease is incurable. Are you incompetent?"

The female nurse behind her muttered, "They all moved to the city for poverty alleviation, where did they come from?"

The female doctor gestured to her to signal her not to say any more, but these men were obviously here to find fault, so they didn't let go of this sentence, smiled and said: "The little girl knows it quite well. "

Several people looked at each other and shouted to the surroundings: "Come and see, the provincial hospital can't cure a few eye patients, and won't let people go back to farm."

"Let's all come and see!"

"The top ophthalmology department in our province!"

"..."

The scene was chaotic for a while. Patients on the same floor and some from other departments came out to watch. The female doctor stood in the middle of the crowd with a splint in her arms. She tried to push away the onlookers and continue working, but it was in vain.

One of the men, who was not tall and the most inconspicuous, with dark skin, saw his lips move and whistled and said, "I want to run away because I've been told what's on my mind!"

Almost all the people in the village came out, pushing and shoving the doctor and asking in a hurry: "Whether it can be cured or not, please give me a good word."

"What's the matter with your hospital? You begged us to come, but now you don't care about us. Are you trying to cheat money?"

"Let's talk first! We don't have a point!"

The noise on the third floor attracted the attention of the upstairs. Many doctors came down one after another hoping to ease the situation. As a result, the sound of stopping was mixed with the sound of quarreling, and it became darker and darker. The patients who needed to rest were lying on the bed, feeling very unhappy.

Lightning and thunder outside the window mixed with a chaotic scene, it's hard not to feel like the prelude to the end of the world.There was a sound of thunder, the black sky was split, and the bustling voices of people paused for a second, and then they swept in with more force.

When the heavy rain was pouring down, a majestic "Mom! What are you doing!" broke through the noise and entered everyone's ears.

That was the son of Lao Yue's family who had gone out to make a living. When he heard that his father was sick, he came back to see him.Suits and leather shoes, but some country people often have dark skin, but their eyes are clear and normal. It should be that they went out early and were not affected by the environment.

He walked up to Mrs. Yue, and the people around him looked at him quietly. He said to his fellow villagers: "Uncles, uncles, aunts and grandmas, I just talked to the dean, and I have paid all the remaining medical expenses for everyone." It's over, you can treat your illness with peace of mind, I left home when I was young, and I have nothing to repay our village..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of crying, everyone praised him for his filial piety, and they were so moved that they missed him very much after not seeing him for a few years.Although I don't know if it's true or not, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the female doctor followed the deputy director who was surrounded by the outermost circle back to the office to write a statement on the situation.

Lin Ruqing, Qi Jingchen and their treatment team were immediately instructed to implement the treatment plan. Lin Ruqing thought about it and sent a text message to Su Chi: The day of delivering meals is coming to an end, so hold on.

Su Chi rolled his eyes and came over and said: Give Qi Jingchen the money for eating and drinking.
