Boundless benevolence

The afternoon was spent in silence and busyness, Chu Xiao was still angry and remained expressionless; Han Yujun was devoted to work and did not speak much; Li Shixi was in a daze from time to time...

"It's good that you focus on me instead of Tracy."

Han Yujun's words always echoed in Li Shixi's mind.He clearly remembered Han Yujun's expression and eyes at that time, it seemed that he was joking, but he also seemed a little serious.What the hell does he mean?Is it an insignificant joke, or the kind I suspected before...

Throughout the afternoon, Li Shixi was absent-minded and unable to concentrate—especially when his eyes met Han Yujun.After dinner, Li Shixi hid in his hut under the pretext of sending a letter with his family - he needed to calm down.

Sitting quietly in the hut, Li Shixi's mind was in a mess.Is Han Yujun showing his favor to him?Li Shixi could feel Han Yujun's concern for him, and this man had been helping him since he went to Hong Kong for an interview.However, because he did not act out of courtesy, Li Shixi had been wondering about Han Yujun's attitude.He once warned himself not to suspiciously misinterpret his friend's concern as being interesting to him because of his sexual orientation, but what he said this morning...

Li Shixi remembered that when he was drunk, Han Yujun once wiped his body and changed his clothes;

When he was sick, Han Yujun ran several miles just to cook him a delicious meal;

He remembered that when he was crying bitterly, Han Yujun hugged himself tightly;

He remembered that after Denny's funeral, Han Yujun skipped work and took him to see the scenery...

Li Shixi felt that he could no longer use "good friends" to hypnotize himself.Han Yujun was indeed showing his favor to him, but he did it very implicitly, and it could even be said to be silent.

So what about yourself?

Can I really let go of my previous feelings and accept him?

"Ding!"

The beep of the computer interrupted Li Shixi's fugue.When he came back to his senses, he was shocked to find that he had turned on the computer unconsciously just now and connected to the Internet.The material conditions here in Dudan are extremely bad. The electricity is supplied by the camp’s own generator, and the Internet is a luxury. If you want to surf the Internet, you can only dial up through the server in the camp. Very expensive.Therefore, the staff of the camp usually do not surf the Internet, and surfing the Internet means sending emails with their families, and even chatting online is a high-end luxury consumption.When Li Shixi came here, he had nothing to worry about, and there was no one whom he had to contact.On the other hand, his younger brother Li Shijie was very worried about him, and would send emails from time to time to inquire about the situation.In order to reassure his younger brother, Shixi will always reply to any letter, and last time he sent a few photos to prove that he is indeed doing well now.And the sound just now was the sound of a new email notification.

Shijie wrote back.

"Brother, I am so happy to see your photo. Brother, you are dark and seem to have lost some weight. It must be very hard to work in Africa, right? But I feel a lot more energetic. There is a photo of you and your colleagues together, brother You are smiling so happily. Brother Shao Jing said that it has been a long time since I saw such a happy smile on your face. Seeing you like this made us feel relieved. Brother, you must have made new friends, right? Thank you (them) for letting me Brother Sunshine is back.

Our side is fine, although my father still looks indifferent on the surface, but when I told him that you sent the photos over, my father secretly looked at all the photos while I was taking a shower.If I have the chance, I really want to go to Africa, and it is best to stop by Doudan to see you—and your friends.

Salute to the great Doctors Without Borders!

Shijie"

Li Shixi looked back at the record of the letter, and found that the photo his younger brother mentioned was a photo of himself and Han Yujun. Chu Xiao took a picture of it.Because I usually take pictures of other people, I don’t have any photos of myself in the camera, so I just sent this photo to make up for it that day.

Were you really that happy at the time?

Li Shixi clicked on the photo, and was a little surprised to find that his expression at that time could really be described as "brilliant": Although his brows and eyes seemed to be a little annoyed, the smile was genuinely happy.

"Brother, you must have made new friends, right?"...

"Thank him for bringing my sunny brother back"...

He, really changed himself so much?

Li Shixi subconsciously flipped through the photos he had taken.He was surprised to find that with the passage of time, Han Yujun appeared more and more times under his camera, when he was working, cooking, serious, and smiling.Li Shixi really wanted to convince himself that he was just taking pictures of his colleagues' work, but he couldn't explain why Han Yujun appeared more often than Chu Xiao or anyone else...

Could it be that I am a little bit tempted by him...

While Li Shixi was feeling confused, there was another person who was also entangled, and that was Li Qian.

Before Li Shixi showed herself that photo that day, Li Qian never thought that Chu Xiao would be interested in her.Although Chu Xiao's actual age is one year older than Li Qian's, he has a baby face, and his nature is lively and even naive, which always makes Li Qian have the illusion that "Chu Xiao is a little brother", Li Qian has never thought about it , Chu Xiao thinks so much about himself.

Li Qian didn't think Chu Xiao was suitable for her. His personality was too lively and childish, like an immature teenager, but what she needed was a man who could help her carry her life.Not to mention the differences in family, culture, and even geography between the two. After this operation is over, they will return to their respective countries, and they may not even have the chance to meet next time.

Therefore, Li Qian felt that she should make it clear to Chu Xiao.

So after returning to the camp the next day, Li Qian went to look for Chu Xiao first after explaining her work.

When Li Qian walked into the tent, Chu Xiao was at his desk looking through medical records.He looked up and saw that it was Li Qian, so he nodded his head as a greeting.Seeing that he wasn't as irritable as the day before, Li Qian felt a little relieved. She walked over and said, "Shawn, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, the tent was suddenly lifted, and accompanied by the cry of "Doctor Shawn, there is a patient!", a woman trotted in with a boy in her arms, followed by several staff members.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xiao immediately dropped the things at hand and ran over.Li Qian was stunned for a moment before she realized it, so she also moved over.

Over there, Mia was already explaining the condition to Chu Xiao: "Little boy, he has a sore on his head. It has been several days, because the family has not given him treatment, and now it has festered..."

Next to her, the African woman put the child on the hospital bed, and it seemed that she should be the child's mother.

Accompanied by the child's mother turning sideways, Li Qian finally saw the child's condition, her eyes widened in surprise——

This is a four or five-year-old child. The sores on his head have spread all over his scalp because he hasn't treated it in time. The scarred skin makes people feel a little nauseous. What's more exaggerated is that those sores have been infected and festered, and the pale yellow liquid emits An unpleasant smell attracted many flies to circle around the child's head, and the sound of buzzing was endless.

"Ouch..." Li Qian clearly heard the nauseating voice of an African staff member beside her.Looking at the side, the faces of the others are also not very good.

Not to mention them, even Li Qian herself felt a bit overwhelmed.

However, to Li Qian's surprise, Chu Xiao didn't have these adverse reactions at all. He didn't even wear a mask, but just put on gloves. Alcohol cotton balls, carefully apply medicine to children's sores bit by bit.

The alcohol was very painful when applied to the sores, and the child cried violently.Seeing that it was useless to coax the child's mother, she had to hold down the child's hand vigorously.

Seeing this, Chu Xiao paused the work at hand, took out a box of candy from his pocket, and shook it in front of the child with a smile. The candy collided with the metal box, making a crisp sound.

The child stopped crying immediately, he opened his eyes, and looked at the small box in front of him with some curiosity.

"Hey." Chu Xiao opened the candy box with a smile, took out a brightly colored fruit jellybean from inside, and shook it in front of the child, the aroma of the fruit wafted out immediately.Chu Xiao smiled and said, "Tacko, if you can get the big brother to give you the medicine without crying, the big brother will reward you with 3 candies!"

Mia translated this sentence, and the child's eyes widened immediately.

Chu Xiao continued to seduce with candy: "If you can obediently take the medicine every day in the next few days without crying or making trouble, then big brother will reward you with an extra piece of candy every day, how about it?"

The child opened his bright eyes and nodded seriously.

The process of applying the medicine went very smoothly. Chu Xiao professionally opened the blisters on the child's forehead, washed away the pus in the hair, applied the ointment on the child, and finally wrapped the wound carefully.During the whole process, the child couldn't help crying several times, but was coaxed back by Chu Xiao. In the end, Chu Xiao cashed in the candy prize and praised the child greatly, coaxing the little boy to smile .

Li Qian watched quietly from the sidelines—in the past, she was always busy with her work, so busy that she didn’t pay attention to anything—standing on the sidelines today, Li Qian suddenly discovered that Chu Xiao is actually a very professional doctor, no matter what he faced He didn't show the slightest dislike or impatience to children like him, whether they were crying or sloppy. On the contrary, he could always think of a suitable way to coax the children to listen to him and cooperate obediently. treat.She recognized the fruit candies that Chu Xiao gave to the children. It was a very famous candy brand in Thailand, and the price was much higher than ordinary candies. Li Qian knew that Chu Xiao carried a pack full of these candies when he came to Dudan .Moreover, every time he went out to resupply, he would ask himself to bring some more candy back.Moreover, Chu Xiao's hands are also very dexterous. He can weave and fold various small animals out of paper or grass leaves. Every child in the pediatric ward has several such toys.Chu Xiao is a bit childish, but he has made friends with all the children with such a personality. As long as he is around, there is never a lack of laughter in the pediatric ward...

For the first time, I realized that the boy who was always treated as a child actually had a serious and outstanding side.

Li Qian stared at Chu Xiao's handsome side face earnestly, as if meeting him for the first time, she was a little crazy for a while...

After Chu Xiao treated the child's wound, he turned around and found Li Qian still standing here.So he came over: "Tracy, what happened yesterday, I'm sorry, I didn't treat you well."

"Ah?" Li Qian didn't expect Chu Xiao to speak first.

"I was not in a good mood that day, and my attitude when talking to you was a bit bad, sorry. I know that I shouldn't put too much emotion into my work, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Oh, it's nothing..." Li Qian smiled awkwardly.

"I didn't go to the supply this time. If there is a supply mission next time, remember to call me. I still want to go to another camp to see."

"Oh that's fine!"

Chu Xiao nodded, picked up the medical records and left the tent.Li Qian wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything - he had already apologized and euphemistically expressed his intention to get along peacefully in the future, so it was really unnecessary to ask "Do you like me" by herself.

Forget it, if he can get along with him peacefully in the future, then don't open his mouth and make everyone more embarrassed.

In the next few days, the camp staff discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, several doctors in the camp suddenly broke the routine and regrouped!It used to be that Dr. Han Yujun and Dr. Li Shixi were in a team, and Dr. Chu Xiao and Li Qian were in a team, but now the combination has become Han Yujun and Li Qian, Chu Xiao and Han Yujun, Li Qian and Li Shixi, Li Shixi and Chu Xiao.Du Rusong was a little strange about the changes in the few people at first, but he didn't find out why after asking, so he smiled and said something like "changing partners can improve understanding" and "communicating more is a good thing". The expressions of the four of them, um, can probably only be described as "each has its own splendor".

"Tracy, did you have a showdown with Shawn?" One day, when Han Yujun and Chu Xiaowai went to a tribe for medical treatment, Li Shixi asked Li Qian.

"It's sort of..." Li Qian said.

"Is it?"

"He said that he was in a bad mood that day, and that he would pay attention to controlling himself in the future..."

Li Shixi understood the meaning of Chu Xiao's words, but felt a little pity: "You didn't plan to think about it? In fact, Chu Xiao is a nice person."

"He's not my type..."

"But I see that you are quite happy getting along with him," Li Shixi said, "In fact, the ideal type is sometimes quite nonsensical. You really don't want to think about it?"

"Li Shixi, can you stop gossiping like this?!"

Li Shixi smiled, and was about to shut up, when suddenly there were several explosions outside the house!

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

Li Qian and Li Shixi changed their faces at the same time - it was gunfire! !

Li Shixi and Li Qian rushed out of the house quickly.At this moment, a lot of staff members had gathered outside the tent. Everyone heard the gunshots just now, and they didn't know what happened, and they were all nervously watching and discussing.

Li Qian looked for Du Rusong in the crowd - he is the general manager of the camp, he should be the first to get the news of what happened outside - soon, Li Qian saw Du Rusong running out of the camp office.

Li Qian rushed over immediately, and asked eagerly, "Johnson! How is it? What happened? Was it the sound of a gunshot just now?"

"Yes." Du Rusong's expression at this moment is rare anxiety: "I just received the news that Dudan has an armed force dissatisfied with the government and started an armed conflict with the government army. It is said that the two sides have just exchanged fire, and the place where the exchange of fire is Tuva village five kilometers away..."

When Du Rusong said the location, Li Qian and Li Shixi, who had just followed, screamed at the same time: "What?!"

That's where Han Yujun and Chu Xiao made their medical visits!

The author has something to say: By the way, do you think the "ideal type" is nonsense?
