Qiao Hao sat on the bed for half an hour before leaving. Firstly, he was afraid that Shi Dongdong's hair hadn't dried out. Secondly, he didn't want to leave.

Shi Dongdong's breathing was very light, and the weight of his entire head was on his shoulders, but he didn't feel tired at all, as if his shoulders were born to be relied on by this person, he was both physically and mentally strong. Feel fulfilled.

Later, he helped Shi Dongdong lie down gently, and covered him with a blanket.

The person on the bed was in a deep sleep and didn't know anything about his actions, so before leaving, he sat beside Shi Dongdong for a while—wanting to take a good look at this person.

Under the dim light, Shi Dongdong's complexion is hidden in the dense skin, but under the light and shadow, his facial features appear more three-dimensional, with slender eyebrows, slightly sunken eye sockets, and a straight nose with tightly closed lips. It is thin, but there is a beautiful arc in the person connected to the nose.Qiao Hao thought, after all, this person is different from the little boy back then. This face is more mature and handsome now, but it seems... more vulnerable than before.

Qiao Hao didn't understand where this contradictory feeling came from, he thought maybe it was because Shi Dongdong was ill.

However, he didn't care too much about Shi Dongdong's illness, because he felt that the illness would be cured eventually.

Qiao Hao didn't sleep for several hours that day.

In the morning, he got up early, cooked a pot of porridge, fried two poached eggs, and went to the supermarket to buy some cherry tomatoes and apples as fruits for the meal.

Shi Dongdong didn't wake up before leaving, Qiao Hao couldn't bear to disturb him, so he just put a spare key for the door on the breakfast table.

In fact, he was a little worried, afraid that Shi Dongdong would leave, afraid that he would not be at home when he returned home from get off work.However, apart from the verbal agreement between the two of them, he has no reason or way to keep him, force him to do something or tell Chen Zhi and the others his whereabouts, he can't do it, and he doesn't want to do that at all.

In Qiao Hao's heart, he thought that Shi Dongdong must trust him, or he also regarded himself as a special existence.Thinking of the "Happy Birthday" yesterday, Qiao Hao felt happy for no reason.

Qiao Hao thought, what he has to do now is to consolidate this trust, and at the same time make the special existence a special feeling.

Qiao Hao was very busy all day long.

Needless to say, Corey's own work, the respiratory department has become the hardest hit area again in spring and summer. The key is that he still has many extra things to do this day.

For example, during the noon break, he booked bus tickets and hotels online, and chose between them. He wanted to be closer to the concert venue and more convenient to the station, so that his companions would not waste too much energy.

When I went to work in the afternoon, I finally ran into the director, so he bit the bullet and asked for leave.Although there are only two days, he wants to come back the next day after the concert, the schedule can be more leisurely, but it still takes courage to speak to the director, after all, everyone in Corey is very busy.Fortunately, the director thought that he was working hard to accomplish a major event in his life, so he agreed very readily and said "Come on" to him.

Qiao Hao nodded naturally. In fact, the director didn't think it was wrong.

When it was time to get off work, Qiao Hao went to prescribe medicine again. He wanted to prepare some painkillers just in case, but if there was one emergency, there would be another one. So when he returned home, in addition to painkillers, he also had antiemetics, antiemetics, Anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-dizziness drugs, sedative and sleeping drugs... At the same time, in order not to let Shi Dongdong see, he also specially took a paper bag containing work clothes from the duty room and put it outside.

Finally, when everything was done and I got home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Qiao Hao wasn't sure if Shi Dongdong was still there, but when he opened the door with the key, his heart started beating wildly again.

However, he didn't have a heartbeat for too long, because the door was quickly opened first, and it was his mother who came to open the door!

Qiao Hao was startled, and blurted out, "Mom, why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me! You didn't go home for dinner on your birthday, so we had to wait at home. I came here specially today to improve your food!" Qiao's mother took the paper bag from Qiao Hao's hand and pulled it away. The son wants him to come in.

Qiao Hao came back to his senses, grabbed the paper bag in a hurry, and soon smelled the tangy aroma of food.However, these could not control his attention, his eyes quickly visited the living room, wanting to make sure if Shi Dongdong was there.

The empty room made Qiao Hao feel lost for a moment, but fortunately, in the next second, someone came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes, and it was none other than Shi Dongdong.

"Are you back? It just so happens that we can have dinner." Shi Dongdong said to Qiao Hao with a smile on his face.

"You?" Qiao Hao was taken aback.

"Auntie and I prepared this meal together." Shi Dongdong was a little proud.

"Yes, look at Dongdong, who is about the same age as you, and his craftsmanship is already so good. When will you be self-reliant, you can't even cook a meal, and you don't even have chicken essence at home." Qiao's mother pointed Qiao Hao's nose looked disgusted.

"Auntie, don't talk about him, there are very few outstanding men like me now." Shi Dongdong was already extremely proud.

"Well, I see. I don't know which lucky girl will find you in the future." Mother Qiao followed Shi Dongdong to arrange the dishes, and couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder with the hand holding the spoon.

"You..." Qiao Hao couldn't get used to the situation in front of him, and the two people at the table sang together, as if they were very familiar with each other.

"I'm not kidding. I happened to meet my aunt when I was going out today. We hit it off and chatted for a long time. Then we went shopping together in the afternoon and finished this sumptuous dinner together." Shi Dongdong cleared his throat, solemnly explained.

"We also cleaned up together, and cleaned up your refrigerator. You are a doctor, and your house is completely out of shape." Qiao's mother answered, accusing Qiao Hao again.

"Mom, why do you let the guests work with you?" Qiao Hao frowned slightly. According to what they said, Shi Dongdong had been working at his house all day.

"He is much more diligent than you, and he is rushing to help me." Qiao's mother obviously liked Shi Dongdong very much, and she didn't feel alienated at all, so she hugged Shi Dongdong's shoulders tightly.And Shi Dongdong also cooperated with her, as if he was a docile and obedient child, very much liked by the elders.

"We are such good friends, why do you still treat me as a guest." The good boy winked at him.

Qiao Hao was speechless, so he had to sit down facing the table full of food.

Qiao Hao had a mixed meal for this meal. His mother and Shi Dongdong introduced each other's delicacies, and after a lot of praise, they put them into his bowl.Qiao's mother looked at Shi Dongdong, and her eyes were about to burst into laughter. That made Qiao Hao believe that if Qiao Min wasn't as old as Shi Dongdong, she would definitely recruit him as her son-in-law.And Shi Dongdong is also unusual, he looks like a revolutionary in front of his father, but when he comes to his mother, he is so well-behaved that he almost catches up with the little daughter-in-law.

Thinking of his little daughter-in-law, Qiao Hao couldn't help being irritable.Because at the dinner table, his mother started nagging about his personal problems again, and even asked Shi Dongdong to help introduce him.At this time, Shi Dongdong also spoke as if he could run a train, saying that he knew a lot of beauties, big and small, all of whom were returnees from a well-to-do family and a decent job...

As a result, Qiao Hao hardly opened his mouth during this meal.

After eating and cleaning up, Qiao's mother reluctantly held Shi Dongdong's hand and left, not forgetting to tell Qiao Hao to ask him to meet the girl Shi Dongdong mentioned after watching the concert.

The woman with peace of mind finally left, Qiao Hao closed the door, and suddenly felt that his room was much cleaner.

Shi Dongdong sat on the sofa, leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.

Qiao Hao was in a bad mood, and sat down next to him with a gulp, "You have a lot of friends."

Shi Dongdong ignored him, and didn't even move his eyelids.

"I told you, that returnee girl..."

"Hush——" Shi Dongdong interrupted him, and put his index finger on his lips to signal him not to continue, "You don't understand how to make the old man happy."

The person on the sofa still had his eyes closed, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Qiao Hao couldn't move his eyes away. Hearing what he said, he felt happy again for no reason.

"I'm not like you, so all-round."

Shi Dongdong didn't refute, but just closed his eyes and let his hands hang naturally on the sofa on both sides of his body.

"Tired?" Qiao Hao couldn't help asking.

Shi Dongdong nodded, "It's been a long time since I said so many words."

"My mother is talkative. In fact, you don't have to talk to her. I'm too tired to call her..."

Before Qiao Hao finished speaking, Shi Dongdong put his index finger on his lips again.

"Don't talk, I'm a little dizzy."

Qiao Hao suddenly became nervous. He sat up straight, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to Shi Dongdong's forehead.

Compared with the warmth of his palm, Shi Dongdong's forehead was slightly cool, not overly hot.

Qiao Hao went to observe Shi Dongdong's face again, but the moment he got closer, Shi Dongdong opened his eyes because of his previous actions, and the two people's eyes happened to meet.

"It seems that your medical skills are not very good." Shi Dongdong's chuckle broke the silence. He leaned back on the sofa and squinted at Qiao Hao. "The patient said he was dizzy. Why don't you go and see if he has a fever?" ?”

"I..." Qiao Hao was at a loss for words, his reaction just now was really clumsy.However, Shi Dongdong's face was not too pale at this time, so Qiao Hao was relieved a lot.So, instead of arguing with the other party, he just asked, "Are you dizzy? Do you want to lie down on the bed for a while?"

"I'm not that weak. In fact, I'm just dizzy with happiness." Shi Dongdong put a hand on his forehead, with a satisfied expression on his face, "I never knew that I could be so lovable. .”

Qiao Hao's heart tightened for no reason, so he had no choice but to follow Shi Dongdong's words, "My mother likes you very much, and I've never seen her hurt me so much."

"She loves you very much, and has been talking to me about your childhood today."

"Really? What did she say about me?" Qiao Hao was a little curious, wondering what kind of self his mother described in front of Shi Dongdong.

However, Shi Dongdong just smiled and shook his head without answering.

Qiao Hao suddenly realized that Shi Dongdong might be too tired, he had already talked too much today.

Just when he was about to tell Shi Dongdong to rest, he heard the other party Youyou say something.

"I envy you,...my mother left me when I was eight years old."

Qiao Hao took a deep breath. In fact, he had already guessed that Shi Dongdong's family was incomplete, but now that he said it himself, he still felt sorry for him.

However, Qiao Hao didn't understand whether "leaving" meant that he was no longer there. He wanted to wait for Shi Dongdong to continue, but saw that the man had changed his tone and praised his mother easily.

"Your mother makes me feel very kind. She is very enthusiastic and kind. She is a lucky person to have a son like you and a daughter."

"I'm just like that." Qiao Hao shook his head. In fact, both he and his sister made his mother worry less.

Moreover, in the future, there may be more worries.

But Qiao Hao didn't say any more about these.

Shi Dongdong supported his head with his hands, his exhaustion was already evident.His eyes were a little distracted, as if he was staring at something but he didn't see anything.

Qiao Hao didn't know what he was thinking, maybe he was thinking about his mother, maybe his own mother, maybe he was just tired and just letting go.And then, Qiao Hao was surprised by his actions—he subconsciously hugged the people around him, and whispered, "Don't think so much, have a good rest tonight, we're leaving tomorrow. "

Under his half hug, Shi Dongdong didn't seem to notice anything wrong, on the contrary, he nodded naturally, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was brighter than before.
