When Qiao Hao walked out of the hospital building, the sun had already shone through the gaps in the trees.

It was a fine day, and he took a deep breath of the still fresh spring morning air.Before, he had been on duty for 24 hours continuously—this was his second year as a resident doctor, and he had become used to hard work.

He walked through the small garden behind the inpatient building, going to fetch his bicycle.Not long ago, he just bought a small one-bedroom house nearby with a loan, which is only 10 minutes away from the hospital by bicycle.

Next to the garden is a green area, and some patients have already come out for a walk in the warm sunny morning.

Qiao Hao quickened his pace. As a normal person in the hospital, he didn't want to occupy the rare and beautiful environment of the patients. Besides, he didn't think the air in this small garden would be fresher than that outside the fence.

What's more, here, occasionally, patients from the same department greet him.At this time, he could only smile slightly, seeing him outside the ward, he really didn't know what to say.

He was never sociable.

Sure enough, someone greeted him again.

"Doctor Qiao!"

Wu Xiuli, 53 years old, in bed No. [-], was admitted to the hospital with respiratory failure caused by obstructive emphysema, and she can get out of bed and walk around now.Qiao Hao's mind naturally popped up the patient's information, and at the same time said to the patient, "Don't walk too vigorously, it is best to be accompanied by family members."

The aunt thanked him again and again, looking at him like she was looking at her own son.

Qiao Hao was a little embarrassed, and waved his hands to leave.

At the moment when she rubbed shoulders with her, Qiao Hao saw a person in the field of vision blocked by her body.

It was a boy, at least not looking very old.

He was wearing a hospital gown, sitting alone on a bench by the grass, with his head down, as if he was looking at his toes.He was wearing a pair of canvas shoes, nothing special.

Qiao Hao couldn't move forward.

He stopped where he was, his eyes resting on the boy's face.

The man frowned slightly, and his slightly lowered face still allowed people to see his facial features clearly. It was a little more angular than before, but it was still white and slender, as if it hadn't grown in the past ten years.Qiao Hao searched and compared in his heart, and then he remembered some worries, why was he hospitalized?

At this moment, the boy suddenly raised his head, as if he felt that someone was looking at him, and his eyes met Qiao Hao's soon.

There was a clear buzz in Qiao Hao's mind.

The man had already smiled at him.

"Qiao Hao."

His voice was not high, but Qiao Hao could tell from the shape of his mouth that he was calling his name, and he was calling him completely out of the mouth without much surprise, as if he was not surprised by this encounter.

"Shi Dongdong." Qiao Hao said in his heart.

Shi Dongdong actually saw Qiao Hao from the very beginning.

The man was wearing a gray woolen jacket with a blue plaid shirt inside, his hair was not neat, and his eyes were slightly swollen.He heard someone calling him "Doctor Qiao", so he was already a doctor.

It has changed a lot from what it was ten years ago.

At that time, he was not so "haggard", he was a thriving young man.

Qiao Hao walked over and stood in front of Shi Dongdong.

"Long time no see, are you a doctor?" Shi Dongdong spoke first.

Qiao Hao nodded slightly, it was indeed long time no see.At that time, they were still junior high school students.

"I really want to see you in a white coat. You are much taller than before." Shi Dongdong slightly raised his head, the sunlight shining down from the top of Qiao Hao's hair made him narrow his eyes slightly.

Qiao Hao sighed inwardly, and simply sat on the other end of the bench.

"Why are you hospitalized?" He asked.

"It's nothing, I didn't wear a seat belt when I was driving, and I was hit by the car behind, and I got a concussion." Shi Dongdong said, reaching out to touch the back of his head.

"No big problem, right?" Qiao Hao looked at the person in front of him, and felt that time really didn't leave any trace on him. He was still the same as before, with a look that people wanted to protect.

"I'm just a little dizzy. When I saw you just now, I thought it was a hallucination." Shi Dongdong smiled, and slowly lowered his head, "Which department are you in? It so happens that you are in a hospital. I can visit you later."

"Respiratory Medicine," Qiao Hao nodded, but changed his mind and said, "You should have a good rest, and leave the hospital as soon as you recover. The hospital is not a good place."

"I think the hospital is very good. The environment here is good, and the nurses are gentle and beautiful. If possible, I would like to stay here for a while." Shi Dongdong looked at Qiao Hao and said.

"What are these words..." Qiao Hao shook his head, but suddenly frowned slightly at one of them.

So, does he like girls now too?

"It seems shameful. You look like a hard-working doctor who was exploited by the hospital. You have dark circles under your eyes. Just got off work? Hurry up and go home to catch up on sleep." Shi Dongdong smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed Push Qiao Hao.

Qiao Hao stood up unconsciously.

He looked back at Shi Dongdong, wanting to say something more, but he seemed to have nothing to say.

Perhaps, he really should go back and take a nap first. Long hours of continuous work have left him with almost no thinking ability. He and the boy in front of him are sitting and chatting here like old classmates reunited.

Qiao Hao's mind was in chaos, and he finally decided to leave.

Behind him, Shi Dongdong lowered his head again and looked at his toes.

The author has something to say:

I finally opened a new pit, and it may be slower to write.

But anyway, I hope I can work harder~
