passenger

The person who came from afar was none other than Shi Dongdong.

Qiao Hao sighed inwardly, and at the same time slowly relaxed about his impending exit.

Shi Dongdong was not walking fast, the not-so-bright light in the hospital corridor in the morning seemed to cast a shadow on his face, until he approached, the smile on that face slowly appeared.

"Didn't you say you won't come today?" Shi Dongdong's first words were to Huo Yan.

"The matter is over, so I came to see you." Huo Yan said, with an obvious compromise in his tone.

Shi Dongdong smiled and walked to Qiao Hao's side.

"What should I do? I'm going to be with Dr. Qiao today, and he's going to give me a checkup." The person who spoke leaned against Qiao Hao, with an extraordinarily intimate manner.

Qiao Hao stood stiffly, watching Shi Dongdong perform.

"Doctor Qiao, you went to work very early today." The man smiled at him.

"I can wait for you." There was no special emotion on Huo Yan's face, not even restraint.

Qiao Hao was worthless for Shi Dongdong, trying to shake off his hand but was pulled even tighter.

"You go, I don't want to see you today." Shi Dongdong leaned his head on Qiao Hao's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally.

Finally, Huo Yan looked away and sighed.

"Doctor Qiao, please." He said to Qiao Hao, then turned around and walked to the elevator entrance, and pressed the down button.

Qiao Hao was dragged away by Shi Dongdong, and when the elevator door sounded "ding" behind him, he felt Shi Dongdong's body tremble, and then he let go of his hand.

The people around him just lowered their heads and continued walking without looking at him again.

Qiao Hao's suffocation that he had held all morning was finally about to burst out, this time he dragged Shi Dongdong into the ward.

"Are you interested?" Qiao Hao shook his hand and shouted at Shi Dongdong who was staggering a few steps.

"It's quite boring, so I let him go." Shi Dongdong rubbed his wrists and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Don't pull me in from now on!" Qiao Hao couldn't see the man pretending to be indifferent, and became even more angry.

"It turns out that you are angry about this." Shi Dongdong pursed his lips, finally showing a little regret on his face.

But that erratic apology really stabbed Qiao Hao somewhere in his heart. However, he could only defend bluntly, "I'm telling you not to let me lie for you in the future!"

"Okay, not in the future." Shi Dongdong nodded readily, which was beyond Qiao Hao's expectation.

It seemed that the emotions he wanted to vent were suddenly blocked in a small hole, and Qiao Hao was so depressed that he couldn't speak.

The person opposite also lowered his head, idly rubbing the bed sheet at hand.

The bed sheet was pale and yellowish due to repeated disinfection, and Shi Dongdong's hands looked white and slender against it, almost not like a boy's hands.

There were some needle holes in that hand, and Qiao Hao vaguely remembered that this person was indeed admitted to the hospital as a patient.

Then maybe he will have the capriciousness and fragility of the "patient"... Qiao Hao was speechless because of his soft heart, and he couldn't bear to blame the person in front of him.Every time.

"Actually, you also think he doesn't care about me at all, right? It doesn't matter if I lie to him or not..." Shi Dongdong, who was looking down at the bed sheet, suddenly raised his head and asked.

"You are a man, why can't you be more promising? If he doesn't care about you, you can't live? Love is not the whole of life."

"Mr. Qiao, you are right!" Shi Dongdong sneered, "Love is not the whole of life... There are many things worth pursuing in a long life, right?"

Qiao Hao was deeply helpless with Shi Dongdong's joking tone, he could only sigh, the time on his watch reminded him that it was almost time to go to work, so he decided to leave.

"Anyway, I won't tell such boring lies for you in the future, and leave the hospital as soon as you recover from your injury, so don't waste medical resources."

After Qiao Hao finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull the doorknob in front of him. The moment the door was opened, there was a buzzing sound in his head.

The person outside the door was less than half a meter away from him, and the extremely close distance allowed him to instantly receive the indifference in that person's eyes—and what Huo Yan was looking at was not him, but Shi Dongdong.

The awkward confrontation ended when Huo Yan walked straight into the ward. Qiao Hao found that there was another person behind Huo Yan. Chen Zhi, who had always looked calm, had a complicated expression at the moment, nervous and annoyed. .

It appears that the lie has been exposed.

"It's not like your style to turn back after leaving." Shi Dongdong's face was full of indifference.Qiao Hao wasn't sure if he was so calm when he first saw Huo Yan, but the more normal he behaved, the more his heart might be surging, after all, he was someone he liked.

"So you're fine, right?" The gentle words in Huo Yan's mouth made it hard to hear any warmth.

Shi Dongdong was silent for a few seconds, and finally laughed at himself, then nodded.

"Yes, I lied to you. Are you pretending? Qiao Hao is not my doctor in charge. He is just my middle school classmate who happens to work in this hospital. Huo Yan, you are too easy to lie, or you don't care too much Me, in fact, you only need to ask the nurse a little bit, and you will know everything."

Qiao Hao stood at the door of the ward, watching the two seem to be talking calmly, and rationally told him that he should leave quickly and take the elevator to work, but he couldn't move his feet half a step, because he was suddenly worried about Shi Dongdong in his heart, Although he knew that there would be a day when lies would be exposed, but that day came so quickly and it was right in front of him because of himself, he was at a loss for what to do.

Then, he saw Huo Yan approaching Shi Dongdong slowly, the man opened his arms and wrapped the "patient" in hospital gown in his arms.

He actually gave him a hug.

Qiao Hao couldn't see Huo Yan's expression, but almost when he thought he was going to be completely tragic, he heard Huo Yan clearly say, "I'm very happy that you are not sick. Dongdong, goodbye."

Before Qiao Hao came back to his senses, Huo Yan brushed shoulders with him and left the ward without hesitation.

But Shi Dongdong stood there in a daze.

Chen Zhi walked up quickly, and said to Shi Dongdong, "I'm sorry, I brought him up...do you want me to chase him back?"

Shi Dongdong raised his head, glanced at Chen Zhi, but ignored him, but pushed him away and walked towards Qiao Hao.

Looking at the person walking slowly, Qiao Hao felt like something was blocking his heart. The face of the person in front of him was pale, exuding a kind of tragic death, but when he approached him, he grinned at him for a moment.

"That man is really easy to deceive, isn't he?" Shi Dongdong said.

As if sensing his weakness, Qiao Hao subconsciously supported Shi Dongdong.Sure enough, the whole weight of the man was leaning on his support.

Qiao Hao was startled.He saw fine sweat dripping from Shi Dongdong's forehead, and when he raised his head to look at him again, the expression on his pale face was no longer natural, as if he could only be seen clearly by squinting his eyes.

"Doctor Qiao, why...don't you go to work?"

Shi Dongdong's last sentence was extremely vague, and before Qiao Hao could hear it clearly, he fell down.

In shock, Qiao Hao fell to the ground with the people in front of him. Someone rushed over and hugged the unconscious Shi Dongdong from his hands.

"Dongdong! Dongdong!" the man shouted involuntarily.

In just a split second, Qiao Hao suddenly understood something.

Looking at Shi Dongdong who was lying in Chen Zhi's arms with his head up, he managed to stand up while holding onto the door frame, then rushed to the bedside and pressed the beeper.

"Doctor!" He also yelled out, completely forgetting that he was a doctor.
