regardless of

Gu Qiu wasn't curious about where Li Pei got his cell phone number from, but he was a bit surprised that Li Pei found out that he had returned to China so quickly.

Especially when the time is still so delicate, it happens to be just now when I met Xi You.

It's really hard not to think too much about it.

When this thought popped up, Gu Chou's heart skipped a beat, causing a slight tremor.

After picking up the phone, Li Pei's long-lost address made Gu Chou's emotions jump to a higher level.

It would not be an exaggeration to say I have mixed feelings.

He said "um", and before he had time to say more, he heard Li Pei let go of his throat and howled.

At first, it was a normal greeting, such as "Is your health better?", "What are your plans after returning to China?", "Brother misses you to death"... Later, it gradually transitioned to the late but arrived criticism.

"You fucking know that when you come back, why don't you just retire in the United States?" "Gu Chou, you are too heartless, if your brother says no, you don't want to." "You don't contact me when you come back, do you have a new love and forget your old love? "...

Gu Chou listened silently, he could feel the familiarity after years of absence in Li Pei's muttering.

For others, the sense of familiarity may have to be picked up slowly.But the other party was Li Pei, so the slow process was gone.

He will take you back to the past in an instant, and even make you feel in a trance that the missing years in the middle do not seem to exist.

For a moment, Gu Chou really had such an illusion.

But he was quickly brought back to reality by Li Pei's bluffing voice.

Then, catching the gap between Li Pei's long speeches, he said "I'm sorry" in a deep voice.

Gu Chou spoke so solemnly that Li Pei suddenly stopped talking.

The reason why Li Pei paused was not because Gu Chou's solemnity brought out a bit of melancholy and nostalgia.

He just had a flash of inspiration in his mind, thinking, isn't this riding a horse just to take advantage of the fire to steal a meal?

He was about to blurt out, when Gu Chou spoke first: "I just came back, and I don't know Bei as well as I did before. Someday you find a place, and I'll treat you to make amends."

Li Pei should be sneaky: "You don't know that I open a bar, so go to my place."

When Li Pei said this, Gu Chou realized it. He knew about it, and Gu Yayun had mentioned it to him.

Gu Chou responded, "Okay, I'll go to your place."

Li Pei immediately said, "Since it's an apology bureau, I won't call you."

"You can sit on the ground and raise the price."

"It's still yours, I'll catch you and grab you, and serve you the most expensive wine."

Gu Chou made a "hmm" sound.

After two seconds of silence, Li Pei called out, "Jiu'er."

"Ok?"

Li Pei thought about it and said, "I call some old friends, don't you mind?"

From Li Pei's suddenly lowered tone, Gu Chou could tell that there must be someone among these old friends.

He pursed his lower lip lightly: "Look at it. The time has set for me."

Li Pei raised his tune, and said "Okay" in a deep and dantian voice.

"..."

However, one of the old friends was too busy, and the time was not set until mid-November.

Li Pei was so anxious that he kept calling and bombarding Xi You: "I said, Doctor Xi, can you transfer if your clinic is gone? Last round, you said you had to work overtime and you didn't make any money in this round. Let the pigeons go this time." Don't be you again."

The more he talked, the more he got angry: "Isn't it that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry? Don't forget, you were the one who made this game start, and you are the one who wants to chase people."

He finally said: "If you want to take this week's shift and be arrested to work overtime again, I won't wait for you. I will go and play with Gu Chou first."

The busyness of the last week was actually beyond Xi You's expectations. The instructor intervened in an extremely important bypass operation and offered to let him into the operating room. For Xi You, this was a very good learning opportunity.He can't refuse.

This is the case with the job of a doctor. You often have no control over your schedule, and you have to sharpen your guns when you are not sure.

So even if Li Pei became anxious like this, and he was not without anxiety, Xi You could only reply conservatively: "I will try my best."

There is no guarantee for these words, Li Pei rolled his eyes in the air, and said, "Doctor Xi, I didn't say that, even if your ex-boyfriend is recovered, he will probably score points."

Doctor Xi was puzzled: "How to say?"

"Because," Li Pei sighed, "Gathering, less, separation, more."

"..."

A few days later, it was time for Xi You to rest again.

Probably because he was afraid that the big pigeon breeder would suddenly release the pigeons again, when the appointed time came, Li Pei had been sending messages to confirm his whereabouts with Xi You.

It wasn't until Xi You went out to get in the car and sent a real-time location that Li Pei stopped the news bombardment.

The party time is set at meal time, and it happens to be the evening rush hour when we go out.

It didn't take long for Xi You to get in the car and it started to get stuck. The car was caught in the heavy traffic and moved slower than a turtle.

In the past half a month, he has been really busy without touching the ground, and it is usually late at night after he is busy.

But Xi You still learned a lot of information about Gu Chou in the busy time.

For example, Gu Chou’s operation in the United States was very successful, and he has been recuperating well these years, and his heart condition is very stable; for example, Gu Chou has been studying at MIT for many years, and successfully obtained an MBA degree from the business school this year; another example, When he returns to China this time, he is indeed planning to parachute Gu's. He started out as the vice president. He is at the helm of the research and development and sales of Gu's medical device sub-industry, and he will take up his post after New Year's Day...

There have been a lot of things going on in the hospital recently, and Xi You has never been to Gu's. This information was basically told to him by Li Pei.

Li Pei may have been born with worries.In the past few years, Gu Chou was not around, so his illness naturally transferred to Xi You.

Xi You often received supervision and greetings from him at various times.

In high school, Xi You has been catching up with him for a whole year because of the temporary change of academic theory, without stopping for a moment.Now that he's in college, Li Pei thinks he should take it easy, but in the end he still studies desperately.It is said that studying medicine is hard, firstly, you have to spend time, and secondly, you have to gnaw at the theory and drill through the practice, and this long road of hard study must have enough rich family background to support it. After all, most medical students can really fulfill their white coat Before the qualifications are given, the limited energy is at best for them to be a qualified student, and there are only a very small number of people who can get money back in the process, or earn wealth from other side jobs.

Xi You is one of the very few. He has mastered all the theories in the clinical textbook in his first year of freshman year. He has covered a wide range of subjects. Even if he picks any part of the human body to test him, he can tell a thing or two. Three, even four five six seven eight.Because he focuses on unintentional, the level of professional knowledge in this segment is even more outstanding.In the medical department full of talents, they stand out from the crowd.All kinds of academics, projects, and competition bonuses are taken as usual.

Of course, behind this preeminence is absolutely breathtaking dedication and hard work.

Li Pei had seen Xi You throw himself into the hospital because he was too desperate.

It was the first semester of the sophomore year. Near the end of the term, Li Pei happened to pass by Xiyou School on business, so he decided to go to the cafeteria for a meal.

Xi worry agreed.

As soon as the two met, Li Pei felt that Xi You was not looking well, and he had lost a lot of weight.

During the chat, Li Pei learned that Xi You recently participated in a scientific research project with a master's degree as the basic admission requirement under the strong recommendation of his counselor.The tutor values ​​him very much and intends to train him, but there are many people in the scientific research group who disagree with him.After all, he was just a sophomore with good grades at that time. In terms of grades alone, who in this group is not a top talent, why is he the exception to break the standard.

When Xi You entered the project team, he really had countless unknowns and blind spots, so he had to put in more effort than others to eliminate the prejudice from others.

Therefore, during that time, in addition to working part-time and preparing for the final exam, he also spent a lot of time on catching up with the progress of the project.

When Li Pei heard that Xi You had such an opportunity, he was very happy for him, but seeing that Xi You's face was obviously tired, and his mother's mentality was on the line, nagging and admonishing him.

The result was blind.

Because it didn't take long for Xi You to work himself out of pneumonia and was admitted to the hospital. The [-]-degree high fever subsided and went back and forth for several days.

Li Pei was worried that his brain with an IQ of [-] would burn to a negative number, so he was really angry and helpless.

Since then, Li Pei has become an online babysitter, regularly worrying about Xi You, a deadly iron man.

And Li Pei didn't know until a long time later that the scientific research project that Xi You participated in was somewhat comparable to Gu Chou's heart condition. Xi You was particularly addicted to it because of his obsession. .

Now that Gu Chou is back, Li Pei's worries have not been used much in Xi You's daily life.

He is very good at focusing on the key points, and throws some information about Gu Qiu to Xi You every day, deliberately making Xi You, a workaholic who has always been calm like a pool of dry water, startle more emotional waves.

There are more waves, more people, and life will not be so rigid and monotonous.

In the past few years when Gu Chou was not around, the mention of this name was somewhat hurtful. Li Pei was very sensible, and in front of Xi You, he did not mention it unless necessary.Now that Gu Chou has returned to the country, he is staying under his nose, and there is no gap in the past with Xi You that cannot be crossed. Li Pei feels that, as a mutual friend of the two, it is necessary to put aside the middle.

Even if Xi You didn't ask him to save this game, he wouldn't let the job go.

He is indeed hardworking and dedicated to his duties.

This is not.

Xi You, who was stuck on the road for half an hour and didn't move a few miles, soon received a urging from Mrs. Li: "Where is it?"

Xi You directly lost his position.

Li Pei replied with three exclamation points almost immediately.

Xi You thought he was in a hurry, and just wanted to reply "it should be fine after this intersection", but Li Pei suddenly threw a friend's business card over.

WeChat is called "9".

Such a business card came into view unexpectedly, and Xi You froze subconsciously.

There is also a friend named "9" in his WeChat list, but that friend has been silent in his list for almost seven years.

The message Li Pei sent should be Gu Chou's current WeChat account.

In the past, Gu Chou's profile picture was a selfie with no face visible, a black pullover was covered with a black baseball cap, and the brim of the hat was pushed down extremely low, revealing a little of his thin and white chin, with his slender and clean fingers raised, buttoning the brim of the hat side.

Now the avatar has changed, replaced by a corner of the sleeve wrist of a white shirt, revealing a small part of the handsome wrist bone that is not concealed.

At first glance, they are the same style, but the former is more cool, while the latter is more stable.

Xi You naturally saw whose business card it was at a glance, but what he didn't understand was why Li Pei sent him this all of a sudden.

He sent a question mark, and almost at the same time, a voice of more than ten seconds played out.

Xi You clicked on the voice bar and put the phone to his ear.

He heard Li Pei say excitedly: "I'm stupid, I didn't say that you and Jiu'er are absolutely destined. Before I asked you, I just asked me where Jiuer was, and he gave me a position. You Guess what, it's the same place you just sent me. It's amazing, God chose you two!"

Just finished listening to this one, here comes another one.

"Jiu'er turned off the function of looking up WeChat IDs with mobile phone numbers. You can add him through friends' recommendations. You can add him. You two are so close to each other now. It's a good opportunity. You can contact me and take his car directly. Got it."

After listening to Xi You, he thought that the opportunity was really good, but he asked back: [Can I call directly? 】

Li Pei immediately replied: "Yeah, I've been in touch with Jiu'er through WeChat, and I forgot that I can still make a phone call. Then you can call, the number was already given to you."

The number was indeed given long ago, and the information was shared with Xi You as soon as Li Pei got Gu Chouxin's phone number from Qiu Qingping.

But later, one was because he was too busy, and the other was because he really didn't find a suitable opportunity to make the call.

Mainly the latter.

Without the support of coincident content, even if the phone call is made, the two parties may be unable to compete with each other in silence.

It's like the dialogue that was often lost on the day of the reunion.

But now there is, they are at the same intersection, and they are going to the same appointment.

Xi You felt that this was an opportunity worth grasping.

So he first clicked on the business card that Li Pei sent, and sent a friend request.Fearing that the other party didn't check WeChat at the moment and wasted time for nothing, he decided to make a direct call.

Just about to log out of WeChat, a new message appeared on the top of the message bar.

It was Gu Chou who passed his friend verification application.

Xi You was startled suddenly, and moved his fingertips, wanting to send a message, but before he could think of words, he saw a little red dot on the top of the screen.

It was a message from Gu Qiu.

He said: [I saw you. 】

The author has something to say:

I'm not in good health recently, which made Caven even worse. I'm sorry~ good night
