it takes a little effort

Years later.

On Friday morning, Ling Chuan woke up with a cramping pain in his stomach.

Dazedly, he touched the mobile phone on the table and asked the boss for a leave of absence. The boss quickly replied, "Then you have a good rest."

Ling Chuan stared at the ceiling, feeling that the chandelier was still turning there.

Last night, a colleague got married, and as the best man, he was drinking at least three kinds of miscellaneous wine, and he vomited all over the place.

I don't even know how I got home.

After lying on the bed for more than an hour, his stomach still felt uncomfortable. He took out his temperature and measured it. It was actually 38 degrees.

No wonder the whole body is limp and unable to exert strength.

Ling Chuan put on his clothes and took a brief wash, then called an express car.

It was obviously April, but when he went out, he felt chilly, so Ling Chuan shrank back and took a piece of autumn down.

Ling Chuan's face was pale, and Didi driver looked at him worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Ling Chuan still felt chills all over his body even though he was wrapped in a coat. This familiar feeling was probably gastroenteritis again.

Since coming to S City, Ling Chuan has rented a house outside by himself. Without the care of his parents, he has irregular meals three times a day. At least two reports to the hospital.

The most serious one was last summer, I ate six popsicles without restraint, but the next day the pain was so painful that I almost passed out, and I couldn’t even get out of bed. Later, I called a colleague and carried him downstairs. .

As the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die. Ling Chuan hasn't had a cold drink for a long time, but he was still defeated by those bowls of yellow soup.

The hospitals in the urban area are like Shura field. The queue at the registration window is more than that of the milk tea shop, enough to go to the dragon boat race.

Ling Chuan was in so much pain that he couldn't even straighten his back, and he had difficulty breathing. During this period, uncles and aunts kept jumping in line, which made him have a splitting headache.

After registering, I have to go to another building for blood drawing and B-ultrasound.

Ling Chuan frowned, walking with difficulty, his stomach felt like a blunt knife was being scraped, and the knuckles holding the inspection sheet turned white.

After entering the elevator, Ling Chuan leaned against the car, his forehead was covered with sweat, his legs and feet were weak, and his face was pale.

Seven or eight people came in one after another, and the elevator sounded an overweight alarm.

He lowered his head with some exhaustion, clenched a fist with one hand, and pressed it against his stomach, trying to relieve some pain.

"Doctor Jiang, I'm sorry." The elevator attendant greeted the people outside with a sweet voice, but it was not her voice that caught Ling Chuan's attention, but the person she called.

Ling Chuan has always been particularly sensitive to the surname Jiang, so he immediately cast his eyes away.

The man standing at the elevator door was slender. His well-ironed shirt was tucked into his trousers, embellishing his muscular figure. His white coat was open, showing the effect of a high-end custom-made windbreaker.

The moment his gaze fell on that person's face, Ling Chuan felt his breathing tightened.

Time seemed to stand still.

The disposable mask covered half of the man's face, the black hair was combed back meticulously, revealing a smooth and full forehead, the brows were slightly frowned, and the dark pupils were bottomless, giving people a cold feeling.

"It's okay." Doctor Jiang, who was wearing a mask, responded in a very low voice, his gaze swept across Ling Chuan's face.

With just such an understatement, Ling Chuan's mind has already automatically outlined his exquisite facial features.

It must be him.

Can't go wrong.

This face made him unable to control himself and haunted him in dreams.

So clear, so familiar.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

Ling Chuan's eyes froze, and then he broke away from the still time, and almost exhausted all his strength to rush towards the door that was about to close.

The gap was less than five centimeters, and Ling Chuan stretched out his hand desperately to grab the door.

The sensor couldn't sense it enough, and the heavy elevator doors pinched his white joints.

At the same time, the people outside reacted quickly and pressed the elevator button.

The elevator operator behind Ling Chuan let out a scream, and quickly pressed the switch from inside.

Fortunately, the elevator doors opened quickly.

Jiang Kai's eyes widened, and he froze in place.

Before the elevator door was fully opened, a slender body fell into his arms, like a large dog whose owner hadn't seen him for many years.

The large dog exerted too much force, and Jiang Kai couldn't help but took two steps back, hitting a movable hospital bed parked in the corridor with his thigh.

The hot body was pressed tightly against his chest, this familiar feeling could only come from one person.

Jiang Kai turned his head and pulled off the mask, and said very gently in his ear: "You threw yourself on me without seeing clearly, aren't you afraid of admitting the wrong person?"

Hearing this long-lost voice, Ling Chuan's nose immediately became sore.

He wanted to say, I can recognize you just by looking at your hair.

But now Jiang Kai's hairstyle has changed, and the twist is gone. He recognizes it with his eyes.

Jiang Kai's eyes are particularly beautiful, and his smile is very attractive.

"I won't admit you wrong." Ling Chuan said in a hoarse voice, tears welling up in his eyes uncontrollably.

For so many years, all the longing, panic, anxiety, grievance, grief, fear, and despair all surged up in this second, as if they were going to be vented in this hug.

Countless words choked in his throat, and finally turned into a broken sentence, "Jiang Kai, I miss you so much."

Jiang Kai's eyebrows and eyes suddenly curved into a nice arc, and the right hand that was originally propped on the edge of the bed firmly clasped Ling Chuan's head.

This was the first time he heard Ling Chuan calling his full name.

With a serious and coquettish tone, his heart softened instantly.

The people in the elevator didn't understand the situation and looked at each other.

Jiang Kai was a little out of breath from being strangled by Ling Chuan, so he could only tell the elevator operator not to worry with his eyes.

The elevator door closed slowly behind Ling Chuan, and there was a muffled sound, the sound of footsteps in the corridor, and the sound of rolling wheels of equipment carts.

But at this moment, Ling Chuan could only hear Jiang Kai whispering in his ear, "I miss you too."

The cleaning aunt who passed by saw this scene and couldn't help but asked with concern: "Doctor Jiang, what's wrong?"

"It's been a long time since I've been home, and the child is crying because I miss it." Jiang Kai smiled dotingly, and rubbed Ling Chuan's broken hair, which was very short, tingly and itchy to the touch.

Auntie Baojie usually looked at Dr. Jiang with a serious expression and a smile. She had never seen him smiling so happily.

When the big dog heard the conversation, he quickly buried his head, wiped his tears on Jiang Kai's white coat, and then reluctantly pushed him away, lowered his eyes and said aggrievedly: "Who is the child?"

Seeing his red eyes, Jiang Kai wanted to laugh but was helpless, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, "My impression of you is still at the age of 17, and I haven't recovered for a while."

"You still have the nerve to say that you left without saying a word back then, you..."

Do you know how long I have been looking for you, do you know how much I miss you and worry about you, do you know how afraid I am that I will never see you again...

But he didn't dare to say these words, and in the end he just said lightly, "Do you know that my parents often talk about you."

"I'll take a look at them when I have time." Jiang Kai smiled.

Ling Chuan stared blankly at his smile, always feeling that this scene was particularly unreal, almost like a dream.

Yes.

He had dreamed countless times of going back to high school and going to school with Jiang Kai.

Every time I wish I could fall asleep and never wake up again.

He bit his finger hard before he could be sure that this was really not a dream.

Jiang Kai.

Really, really, right in front of him.

alive.

And... still so handsome.

No no no, more handsome.

Looking at Ling Chuan's pale complexion, Jiang Kai asked worriedly, "Is there something uncomfortable?"

"When I saw you getting excited, I forgot the pain in my stomach." After distracting his attention, Ling Chuan felt a spasm in his stomach again, but now he was so excited that he was sweating, and he didn't care about anything else. .

Jiang Kai looked at the list in his hand, "Then you go for an examination first, I have an operation to be done right now, I will contact you later."

"Yeah." Ling Chuan nodded, Jiang Kai turned around and was about to leave when Ling Chuan grabbed his arm and said in succession, "Number number phone number!"

Jiang Kai smiled, "I'm right here, and I can't run away."

As he spoke, he took out a gel pen from his pocket, wrote his mobile phone number in the palm of Ling Chuan's hand, and drew a smiling face behind the tail number.

Ling Chuan looked at the familiar characters in his palm, his mouth was almost grinning to the back of his ears, and he couldn't remember how he got to the blood test window. The idiot, he was giggling all the time, so he repeatedly told him that he had to come to pick up the report in an hour.

Excitement was nothing but excitement, but his body was still very weak. When Ling Chuan walked, he obviously felt that his steps were heavy, as if he was dragging fifty catties of iron.

After all the examinations were completed, the outpatient doctor diagnosed gastroenteritis caused by bacteria, accompanied by signs of fever, and needed a drip after taking the medicine.

There is a shortage of hospital beds, so he can only sit in the infusion hall of the hospital.

The new intern nurse who gave him the injection was followed by the head nurse. The little nurse looked a little nervous and her movements were not coherent. The second needle was only able to pinpoint the vein, and she kept saying sorry to Ling Chuan with a blushing face.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Ling Chuan raised the corner of his mouth and gave her an encouraging smile, and the little nurse took out two plum candies from his pocket and handed them to him.

"Thank you." Ling Chuan peeled off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. At this moment, even plum candy tasted sweet.

"You're welcome, you have a good rest." The little nurse said with a smile.

Ling Chuan also wanted to take a good rest, but conditions did not allow it.

Sitting next to me is a fat aunt in her 40s with a loud voice, making a phone call like a loudspeaker, it is deafening, and there is an uncle opposite, who has been coughing, and it still has phlegm, as if it is stuck in the throat. , Just listening to it makes me sick.

He sat in a chair dazed.

Now Jiang Kai is busy with the operation, he dare not call, he thought of sending a text message to ask him when he will get off work, he hesitated for a long time and then deleted it, he will be busy, he will definitely not get a reply, still Might as well post it later.

Ling Chuan thought for a while, clicked on WeChat, and tried to add Jiang Kai's mobile phone number to it. He couldn't help laughing when he saw the account called "I suggest you have a skull surgery in this situation".

Take another look at Jiang Kai's WeChat avatar.

I was so excited that I was rolling on the spot. If I wasn't in the hospital and I was still on an IV, I would probably have done several somersaults and Thomas' full spin.

The head portrait is the backlit backlight photo he took for Jiang Kai in the zoo back then.

Although he changed several mobile phones during the period, he has always kept this photo, so he can recognize it at a glance.

Ling Chuan pointed to add with trembling fingers, and was afraid that Jiang Kai would not know it was him, so he entered his name in the verification message and added it again.

He couldn't see Jiang Kai's circle of friends, so he could only stare at the profile photo. Although he had seen this photo more than 800 times, as Jiang Kai's profile picture, the meaning was different, and he was so happy that he couldn't touch the north again. , the sound of coughing from the uncle across the street sounded like a symphony.

Ling Chuan's heart rate has been in a state of madness since meeting Jiang Kai again, and the corners of his mouth can't be held back at all, staring at the face of the head portrait, he almost froze from laughing.

He pinched his cheeks, feeling that he couldn't continue laughing like this, or he would faint from laughing sooner or later.

Excitement, excitement, and anticipation were all good emotions. There was a bright light in front of him, which made him unable to open his eyes.

Jiang Kai even touched his head, just like when he was in school, very gentle.

Good thing I washed my hair yesterday.

Ling Chuan rubbed the back of his head, then grinned again.

Just as Jiang Kai returned to the outpatient room after one operation, the slightly older Doctor Li in the next door opened the door and asked, "Has Xiao Jiang not eaten yet, do you want to order takeaway together?"

Jiang Kai glanced at the time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, he wondered if Ling Chuan had left, "No, I'm not hungry."

Dr. Li let out an "oh" and backed out.

Jiang Kai changed his coat, glanced at the phone in his pocket, and always had a premonition that Ling Chuan would send him a message.

Sure enough, there is a small red dot in the column of new friends on WeChat.

He smiled and added.
