Qiao Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. The school uniform and schoolbag were thrown on the side of the basketball court, and the T-shirt he was wearing was soaked through.Before the water on the back of his hand could be thrown out, his teammate had already passed the ball, so he rushed a few steps to catch it, and a string of water droplets drew a line in midair with a perfect arc like a parabola.

Qiao Hao patted the ball in his hand a few times, followed by his footsteps. With a jump, the ball was thrown steadily, hit the small black frame on the basketball hoop, and then hit the backboard into the basket.

The onlookers cheered.

Complacent, Qiao Hao subconsciously looked in the direction of the teaching building.

On the balcony on the third floor, as expected, a figure appeared in sight.

He smiled at the man, waved him a few times with his wet hand, the direction of the hand was towards him, Qiao Hao let the man come down.

The body of the person on the balcony was only exposed to his chest, and the white shirt he was wearing was dyed a soft yellow under the rays of the setting sun, and even that person's face was covered with a gold border.

Qiao Hao couldn't see his face clearly, but he had already sketched the contours of the facial features on that face in his mind. He was fair and handsome, and he was prettier than the girls in his class.

Although, he was just a boy he "saved" not long ago.

The boy on the balcony didn't speak, and just waved to him while standing there.

Qiao Hao was in a great mood, he stopped looking at him, and started running after the basketball in someone else's hands.

It was really a hearty ball game, it seemed that the midterm exam had just ended, his grades were enough to explain to his parents, and there was still a long time before the final exam, so he had enough energy and reason to play ball indulgently.

The happiness at that time can be obtained as long as you can play to your heart's content.

In the end, Qiao Hao's team won, and the surrounding students cheered loudly.Qiao Hao high-fives every teammate. There is nothing happier than winning a game with strength.

Then, everyone carried their schoolbags on one shoulder and left, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

Qiao Hao tied his school uniform around his waist, and when he picked up his schoolbag, he realized that the boy in the white shirt was among the crowd that was gradually dispersing. However, the man didn't leave or turn around, and stood not far from him. wait for him.

"Shi Dongdong!" Qiao Hao happily ran over and stood still in front of the man.

"Congratulations on your victory." Shi Dongdong was also very happy, but he was not as bold as ordinary boys, and when he laughed, he was gentle.

Qiao Hao smiled inwardly, that's why those grandsons picked him to bully him.

"Go home together?" Qiao Hao asked, using a question, but there was no doubt in his tone.

"Drink some water first." Shi Dongdong handed over a bottle of mineral water.

"Wahhaha!" Qiao Hao laughed as he looked at the mineral water.

"This is the only one in the canteen." Shi Dongdong was a little embarrassed.

Qiao Hao took the mineral water, unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank it with his head raised.For some reason, it sounded like background music was playing in my ears, and a voice kept singing "Loving you is equal to loving yourself...", which was the commercial song that was always broadcast on TV at that time.

Qiao Hao raised his head and drank half of the bottle of water at once. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the white clothes beside him. Subconsciously, he moved his gaze a little higher, and the man's face became more blurred and clear.

He saw that Shi Dongdong was also looking at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a smile, and there was light shining in his eyes.

The light, just like the mineral water he was drinking, gently crossed his body and penetrated into every cell inside, and he could feel the meaning of the light even with his eyes closed.

Shi Dongdong likes him, likes him very much.

Shi Dongdong watched him finish playing basketball, then watched him drink water, and waited to go home with him on the same road.

Qiao Hao's mood became better. What could be more pleasant than what he expected and the other party also expected?

In contrast, winning has become a trivial matter.

The two are side by side.

At some point, Qiao Hao had a bicycle beside him. The bicycle was on his right, and on the left was Shi Dongdong who was walking next to him.

Qiao Hao involuntarily moved closer to him, and the moment his scorching body touched the opponent's skin after playing just now, he felt a cool feeling.

Qiao Hao looked at him sideways, the man lowered his head slightly, smiled and said nothing.

The sound came from the radio in the playground, which seemed to be a beautiful ballad.

Qiao Hao pricked up his ears, but found that it didn't seem to be a folk song. After listening carefully, he found that his name was being called on the radio.

"Doctor Joe!..."

Doctor Joe?Qiao Hao woke up suddenly, his eyes fell directly on the small speaker on the wall of the duty room.

He stood up immediately, heard the bed number that the nurse said on the speakers, and ran straight out of the duty room.

A new patient was sent to the emergency department. Asthma caused shock, and he struggled for a long time before lying down on the hospital bed.

When Qiao Hao returned to the duty room to write the medical records, he was already a big man, and he was sleepy and in a trance in the middle of the night.

Then he remembered the dream.

What a dream.

He couldn't even tell whether it was a dream or a scene from the past that he recalled in a daze.It seemed that it had actually happened, but at that time, there were not so many charming moods.

Qiao Hao turned the pen in his hand lightly, and decided to visit that person after get off work in the morning.

Speaking of which, he should have a brain biopsy tomorrow.

The ward of the emergency room is like a big vegetable market, with people coming and going, noisy.

Shi Dongdong's hospital bed was in the corridor, and it was an extra bed that had been obtained with great difficulty.The beds in the Department of Neurology and Oncology were full, and the temporary transfer to the ward made it impossible for the hospital to arrange a bed immediately, so he had to live here.

When he first arrived, Shi Chongshan frowned deeply as he watched him lie on the bed.The deputy dean next to him immediately said, "As soon as the neurology department bed is free, we will arrange to transfer it immediately."

"I think it's very nice here, it's lively." At that time, he said something while lying on the bed.

No matter how helpless Shi Chongshan was, he had no choice but to walk away.

At this time, Shi Dongdong leaned against the corridor wall and sat cross-legged on his bed.

He stuffed a pair of earplugs into his ears, and after a few practice sessions, he is now very proficient at plugging earplugs.The effect at this moment is that he can see people coming and going in front of him, family members of patients exchanging greetings, doctors arguing with nurses, and even children running around, but he can't hear their voices very much .

Not far from the opposite side is the nurse's station, and there are some chalk characters written on the small blackboard inside.He couldn't read those words clearly, but he knew that there were the surgery and some important inspection arrangements written there.

I don't know if my name is on it, because early in the morning, the nurse has come to inform him that he will have an MRI at ten o'clock in the morning.

It was annoying to think about it, so he just didn't want to, just sat and watched the scenery, anyway, his head didn't hurt today.

At the far end of the corridor came a white coat, tall and straight, with messy hair, but very stylish.

Shi Dongdong guessed that he should be a handsome doctor.

When I think of a handsome doctor, I can't help but think of someone.

Sure enough, the man approached, and the shape of his mouth was calling his name.

Shi Dongdong maintained his original posture, staring at the person who had already walked to the bed.The man called him a few more words, and his voice seemed to rise a lot, because he could vaguely hear the word "Dong" in his earplugs.

Seeing that he still didn't respond, the man's face became visibly tense, and he stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, then leaned closer to his face, and said something.

Shi Dongdong saw his facial features more clearly, handsome and clear, but his brows were frowning.

Those who didn't get a response would turn around, apparently preparing to call a doctor.Shi Dongdong finally stretched out his hand to hold his white coat, and at the same time pulled out the earplugs in his ears with the other hand, and burst out laughing with a "puchi".

"Doctor Joe!" he called.

"Are you okay? Can you hear me?" Qiao Hao still looked nervous, shaking his hand in front of Shi Dongdong illogically.

Shi Dongdong shook his head, took off the other earplug, and spread the two together in his palm for Qiao Hao to see.

Qiao Hao couldn't help puffing out his cheeks, sat down on Shi Dongdong's hospital bed, and said leisurely, "I'm scared to death."

"Will a tumor in the brain cause deafness? What is there to be afraid of?" Shi Dongdong said indifferently.

Qiao Hao turned to look at him, not knowing what to say.

Vaguely, he seemed to see the boy in his dream, wearing a white shirt, who lowered his head slightly after handing him the mineral water bottle.

At this time, Shi Dongdong also lowered his head, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, not a shy smile of a teenager, but a kind of smile that stayed out of the way, hiding his emotions in the smile.

"It's so noisy, can you get used to it?" Qiao Hao asked as Shi Dongdong pressed the earplugs under the pillow.

"Is there anything I'm not used to? Everyone is like this." Shi Dongdong looked at the entire corridor. As the best hospital in the city, it can be described as a "crowded city". Seven or eight extra beds have been placed in the long corridor." And, I'm going to check right away."

Upon hearing the inspection, Qiao Hao's heart tightened slightly.

"Tomorrow?"

"Well, I will do another MRI today to confirm the location, and I will enter the operating room tomorrow."

Qiao Hao nodded and asked again, "Are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid I can't do it?" Shi Dongdong raised his eyebrows, and then said again, "Compared to biopsy with anesthesia, I hate MRI that puts a conscious person into a machine to scan."

"Why?" Qiao Hao suddenly felt uncomfortable, and his tone became lighter, "I know, the examination will not hurt."

"Have you ever done it?" Shi Dongdong tilted his head and held his chin.

"During the internship, I helped patients." Qiao Hao said, of course he knew that Shi Dongdong was asking him if he had experienced it.

Sure enough, Shi Dongdong smiled.

"When the enhancer is injected into the body, the whole body will become hot, and the mouth will become dry slowly, and then a person will be pushed into the long and narrow machine alone, with only the buzzing sound of electricity in his ears... Never done it before. People probably can't understand it."

Qiao Hao didn't know how to answer, so he could only look down at his crossed hands.In front of Shi Dongdong, he felt awkward more than once, and he is very good at comforting patients.

"Don't worry," he finally said reluctantly, "The machine is safe, and it won't last long."

"Will you accompany me?" Shi Dongdong asked suddenly.

Qiao Hao nodded quickly, "Okay, I just got off work, and I have a day off, so I'll accompany you."

Shi Dongdong laughed slowly, this time, it was a serious smile with some gratitude.

Qiao Hao also became happy. For the first time, he felt that he was needed here with Shi Dongdong.
