Personal matters

Lin Zhen sat back in his seat in silence. Jiang Shichao asked him strangely why he had been there for so long. He made up a random reason to prevaricate, but he was no longer in the mood to talk about work.

He remembered Liu Qitong's indifferent eyes when he was about to leave, he probably really hated himself this time...

When we got out of the hotel, it was raining outside.Lin Zhen rejected Jiang Shichao's kindness to invite him to take a ride, and walked to the lonely street alone.

I don't know how long I walked, but when I got home, the woolen coat was already covered with rainwater. The nanny auntie took it and chattered for a while, saying that I must find a sunny day to dry it well, otherwise it would be a pity for the clothes.

Gu Qing looked at his son sadly.It's been several days, Lin Zhen is depressed, and he doesn't speak when asked, it's really frustrating.

Lu Qing had a hard time giving birth, and finally had Lin Zhen when he was almost 35 years old, and he loved her like a baby.Sometimes when Lin Changmin was too strict, she would stop him and protect him behind her.

It's a pity that the child can't help her mother, she really has no idea what the child is thinking now.Especially Lin Zhen has been away from her for so many years, she has no idea where she has been and who she has contacted.

"Have you had dinner yet? Shall I ask Auntie to warm it up for you?" Lu Qing asked with concern.

"I've eaten." Lin Zhen smiled wearily, "Mom, I still have papers to write, so go to bed early at night."

Lu Qing nodded, watching helplessly as he walked into his bedroom and closed the door.

……………………………………………………………

Lin Zhen was very afraid of meeting Liu Qitong face to face, especially his cold attitude.Unexpectedly, when I went to work the next day, I only saw Wang Quan doing the ward rounds alone.

He couldn't help asking, and found out that Director Liu had gone to Hangzhou for a meeting.Lin Zhenxin's big rock was finally let go, but what followed was overwhelming disappointment.

A few days passed like this, and they lived in peace with each other.

This afternoon, Lin Zhen saw the outpatient clinic very late, and was just about to go back to the ward when the nurse informed him that another patient had somehow registered and asked him if he wanted to see a doctor.

Lin Zhen looked at his watch, it was already 04:30.After thinking about it, he asked the nurse to call his number.He is always soft-hearted, thinking that it is not easy for those patients to queue up to get a number every time, so he can't bear to refuse.

Lin Zhen checked the information on the computer, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw two people walking in, one was standing, and the other quietly sat down on the seat opposite him.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhen asked the chief complaint as usual, his eyes still fixed on the computer screen.

"...I can't seem to see things clearly recently." A voice replied softly, sounding like a young man.

"Have you gone to the ophthalmology department for an examination?" Lin Zhen continued to ask, but he was thinking in his mind: Has the number of patients seen today set a record again...

"I didn't see an eye doctor." The man said.

"I should ask the ophthalmology department to check it first. How can I directly call the neurosurgery department?"

Lin Zhen finally turned his head and picked up the medical records on the table.

The name written on the cover of the medical record card was "Chen Xu".

Lin Zhen paused for a moment—there are so many people with the same name and surname these days.

He raised his head involuntarily.

On the opposite side are two young men, the one sitting among them has delicate eyebrows and looks familiar.

"Chen Xu..." Lin Zhen muttered to himself in a daze.

"Fenghua High School Grade One (Class 1)." The man smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's me."

— blood gushes up

This unexpected encounter happened so suddenly that Lin Zhen instantly lost the ability to react.

"As soon as you spoke just now, I recognized you." Chen Xu said with a smile, but his eyes were out of focus. "When I saw your name in the lobby, I thought of coming up to try my luck, but I didn't expect it was really you."

Lin Zhen raised his head stiffly and looked at the man standing aside. "Your brother?"

"Where is my brother?" Chen Xu smiled, "This is my boyfriend Feng Shu."

Lin Zhen's throat was uncomfortably blocked.

"It's a bit of a surprise." Seeing that he was silent, Chen Xu said mockingly, "I didn't expect it, I thought it was someone with the same name... But maybe I should have thought of it, after all, Professor Lin also works here ah."

"How have you been all these years?"

Lin Zhen's voice trembled a little.He really didn't want to lose his composure, especially in front of Chen Xu's boyfriend, but he couldn't control his vocal organs no matter what.

"It's not like that... go to school, work, how can I compare with you." Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Where did you... go?"

"Is it after transferring?" Chen Xu thought for a while, "I just changed to a high school...Although it's not the point, it's still safe and sound, which is pretty good."

Lin Zhen looked at him and wanted to say a thousand words in his heart, but because of Feng Shu's presence, he couldn't ask.

Feng Shu leaned down and whispered a few words in Chen Xu's ear.Chen Xu nodded, and held his hand comfortingly.

"Let's find a chance to catch up on the old days... I came too late today, won't it delay your get off work?" Chen Xu asked embarrassingly.

"Ah, it's okay."

"I did come to see a doctor today. I might ask you something."

"No problem, what's the matter?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Then I'll just say it straight..." Chen Xu smiled wryly, and he signaled his boyfriend to take out the CT film from his bag. "Please take a look at this film for me."

Lin Zhen adjusted his mood, took over the film, put it under the fluorescent light and carefully looked down layer by layer——suddenly his chest choked.

"Is this your own film?"

"En." Chen Xu nodded.

Lin Zhen's fingers trembled slightly, "When did you take the picture? Have you reviewed it recently?"

"Ah... this was just taken a week ago."

"Besides vision loss, are there any other symptoms?" Lin Zhen's tone became serious. "Such as headache, vomiting or something?"

"He often wakes up with a headache when he sleeps." Feng Shu interjected, "Also, he fainted once last week."

Chen Xu gave him a reproachful look.

Feng Shuding went back, "Tell the doctor if you feel unwell, otherwise why come to the hospital?"

Lin Zhen looked at him with extremely complicated emotions.

"Chen Xu, you may need to be hospitalized."

"Yeah?" Chen Xu sighed, "Even you said that..."

"I'm serious." Lin Zhen said, "You should have seen other doctors, right?...You have something growing in your brain and need surgery."

Chen Xu thought for a while, "Can surgery cure it?"

Lin Zhen quietly clenched his fists.

"It's hard to say, it depends on the nature of the tumor."

Chen Xu pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "If you do the surgery for me, I might consider being hospitalized."

Lin Zhen glared at him and picked up the intercom phone.

"Hello, is the Nursing Department?...I'm Director Lin Zhen, please reserve a bed for me...an extra bed is also available, umm...OK, thank you."

"This is the style of the director." Chen Xu smiled and winked at him.

Lin Zhenxin was so sad that he couldn't laugh.

He turned to Feng Shu and said, "The bed has been contacted, please go through the admission procedures."

"That won't work, I have to wait until tomorrow anyway... I didn't bring anything." Chen Xu shook his head desperately.

Lin Zhen stood up, turned a deaf ear to Chen Xu's protest, and only explained to Feng Shu.

"His condition may change at any time... Help him get hospitalized, right away."
