Personal matters

After Director Xiao Lin suffered a serious illness, his whole person changed a lot.

He doesn't like to talk much, and he rarely smiles.Once you work, it's like being isolated from the world, and you don't care about anything else.There seemed to be endless energy in that thin body, and he shuttled tirelessly between the laboratory and the operating room.

Only very occasionally, he would stand in a daze at the window of the corridor, looking at the ground from the 15th floor, and follow the back of someone leaving until the little black dot could no longer be seen.

The sisters in the Nursing Department all speculated whether Director Xiao Lin had lost his love some time ago.A few brave ones even mustered up the courage to introduce their cousins ​​to him as girlfriends.

Every time he encounters such kindness, Director Xiao Lin will decline with a smile, and reply that they already have someone.

——But where the person is, there is no sign to follow.

The nurses agreed that he was politely pushing back.You are so busy at work, how do you arrange appointments?Do you just rely on mobile phones to connect with each other?

In May, Dean Jiang personally called to congratulate Professor Liu Qitong on his official election as the vice president of the Municipal Association of Neurosurgeons.

The brain surgery was in an uproar.

Generally speaking, this kind of title will only be awarded to the academic leaders and department directors of well-known hospitals, and ordinary experts will only serve as a member of the committee at most, with a strict hierarchy.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Qitong's triple jump success is not only rare, it can be said to be shocking.

After receiving the news, Director Liu closed the office door and made a call.About 10 minutes later, he came out again, already looking happy and complacent.

In fact, as early as last year, as soon as the news of the association's upcoming re-election came out, Liu Qitong was concerned about it.In order to get this position, Director Liu worked hard for more than half a year, and spent a lot of effort to win the relationship.Now the hard work has finally paid off, and it can be regarded as a wish fulfilled.

——The more titles, the better.

Walking in the hospital building, it was obvious that Liu Qitong was still the same Liu Qitong, but something was different.

Not only the middle-level cadres of various departments in the hospital called him brothers and sisters, but even the leaders of the administrative department would come over to say hello to him from a long distance.

Director Liu has swept away the haze of the past and has become a hot favorite.

Graduate students who are not afraid of death are scrambling to choose him as a supervisor, even though his severe teaching method has long been famous all over the world.And Professor Lin Changmin, who has always been displeased with him, has also restrained himself a lot, and rarely confronts him in public.

Of course, there are always exceptions in the world - among all the attention, there is only one person who makes Liu Qitong unhappy.

When I was elected, doctors of all sizes came to congratulate me warmly.Even Guo Huaixiu had to put on a show, and said sourly: Well done.

But Lin Zhen——

That guy didn't say anything, just nodded to him, and then just walked over!

Liu Qitong told himself: What's the matter?But just kissed a few times... When the time comes - just like his father, just like Bai Xiaofei, everything will eventually pass.

Just, day after day...

Director Liu found that it seemed a bit difficult this time.

That tear-stained face was always dangling in front of him. He obviously didn't owe that guy anything, but he always felt uncomfortable as if a piece of his heart had been cut off.

Director Liu thought for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion: it must be because of idleness.So, keep busy yourself even more.

Oddly enough, despite being immersed in work during this period, I was actually not very productive.

Often in the middle of writing a dissertation, I suddenly realize that I have been distracted for a long time; during the operation, I obviously needed tampons, but Wang Quan handed over the sutures, and then found that I had given the wrong order inexplicably.

The thing that makes Liu Qitong particularly angry is that this guy can be so calm.

Back home, Liu Qitong got angry at everything he saw.

The pajamas, pajamas and toothbrush towels worn by the man were all thrown into the trash can.

He opened the window to ventilate, and replaced all the sheets and quilt covers with new ones. When he slept on the bed at night, the quilt was still full of the smell of that guy.

In a fit of rage, Liu Qitong even threw away the mattress.

Director Liu spent more and more time on the treadmill, his temper became more and more irritable, and even the people around him gradually noticed his strangeness.Fortunately, due to his long-standing prestige, no matter how weird his behavior was, no one dared to ask him.

Once, I attended a lecture at a medical school, and the speaker happened to be a professor who used to be Liu Qitong when he was in college.After the meeting, Liu Qitong and the others invited the teacher to dinner, and when they were full, everyone began to chase after each other.

Liu Qitong was the most outstanding among the group of students, and naturally received relatively more attention.He listened casually to other people's compliments, while laughing casually.

Liu Qitong's seat was facing the corridor, and the waiter didn't close the door when he came in to serve the food. He caught a glimpse of a familiar figure passing by outside.

Liu Qitong put down his cup, apologized to the people present, and stood up.

He walked outside the door and walked back and forth several times, but he didn't see the person he was looking for.He kicked the base of the wall dejectedly, full of frustration.

"Doctor Liu, are you here too?"

Liu Qitong's fingers froze for a moment, and he turned his head slowly.

Lin Zhen was wearing a casual suit, without the usual academic style in the hospital, with a calm and elegant demeanor in every gesture, no matter how he looked at it, he recruited people.

Liu Qitong tilted his head and stared at him for a while, without answering questions. "Who are you eating with?"

"Ah, with a colleague." Lin Zhen said.

"Which colleague?" Liu Qitong asked again.

"Dr. Jiang from the Department of Nuclear Medicine."

"Jiang Shichao?"

"Ah."

"Why did you get together with him?" Liu Qitong frowned.

"Oh, I have a project, and I want to apply for it together with nuclear medicine." Lin Zhen replied.

Liu Qitong leaned against the wall and looked at him sarcastically, "Is it necessary to work so hard?...As far as I know, you still have several projects that you haven't finished yet."

"Indeed." Lin Zhen smiled gently. "I used to have a lot of ideas, but I couldn't put them into practice...Nowadays, the country has invested a lot in scientific research. If there is a chance, I want to try it."

"Be careful what you gain is not worth the loss." Liu Qitong said lazily, "It's not long since he recovered from his illness, so don't get tired again."

Lin Zhenxin's heart moved, and the incident of living in his house a while ago came vividly before his eyes.

"That... about the Medical Association... Congratulations." His eyes began to avert.

"I just thought of congratulating me now?" Liu Qitong raised his eyebrows.

A young couple who had drunk too much staggered out of the private room.When passing by the two of them, she staggered, the woman couldn't stand still, and bumped into Lin Zhen's back.

Liu Qitong rushed over as fast as he could, blocking Lin Zhen in front of his chest. With a sound of "dong", the strength of the two of them together slammed him against the wall, causing his back to hurt.

"Don't look at me when I'm walking!" Liu Qitong scolded.

The two young lovers were already drunk, they stood up and stared at them in a daze, they didn't even know to say "I'm sorry", they just walked away with their shoulders crossed.

"Does it hurt?" Liu Qitong asked while supporting Lin Zhen's shoulder.

Lin Zhen raised his head from his embrace, a little dazed.

The two were cuddling each other at this moment, their faces almost touching each other, feeling the familiar warmth of each other.Missing is lingering in this small space, and the illusion of a dignified colleague just now is torn apart in an instant.

Liu Qitong only felt a small flame ignited in his heart.He held Lin Zhen's hand tightly, turned around and pulled him to a place where there was no one in the corner.

"Go and bring Jiang Shijie back, follow me." He looked into Lin Zhen's eyes eagerly.

"Then what can I do...the matter is not over yet." Lin Zhen lowered his head.

"Just tell him there is an urgent call from the ward." Liu Qitong became impatient.

Lin Zhen didn't dare to look at him, suppressed his emotions and turned his face to the side.

"Liu Qitong, you know I can't..."

Liu Qitong stared at him for a while, then suddenly let go with a sneer. "That's right, why did I forget?"

He breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands into his trouser pockets, straightened his clothes as if nothing happened, then leaned over, and gently pressed his lips against Lin Zhen's ears.

"Don't worry... From now on, I will definitely remember it clearly."
