Qiao Hao hesitated for two days about whether to go and see Shi Dongdong, and what kind of mentality he should take to see him.

Before drawing any conclusions, he finally couldn't help but step into the ward of the oncology department. The floor of that department is only two floors away from the respiratory department.

The elevator arrived quickly, and a ding sound seemed to break the silence of the entire floor.

Qiao Hao took a deep breath before walking out slowly.

This is the most desperate place in the whole hospital. He had learned it during the internship rotation, so the same floor design, but the corridor looks much darker.Although, this is the fourteenth floor.

The ward at noon was very quiet, and Qiao Hao easily found out Shi Dongdong's bed number, which was an ordinary ward with three rooms.

The door was ajar, and Qiao Hao, who was wearing a white coat, easily pushed the door open and walked in.

After a hasty glance, Qiao Hao suddenly felt relieved when he didn't see the figure in his imagination.

The people in the ward all looked at him. The bed next to the door was an old man. The old lady beside the bed was feeding him. His chewing had obviously stopped. On the middle bed was a young man with a bald head. He held his phone and glanced at Qiao Hao.

"Excuse me... isn't the patient in the ninth bed here?" Qiao Hao asked the people in the ward awkwardly for the first time.

"The treatment of the nine beds is different. The doctors are all around, and there is one who didn't keep up." The bald head hummed and gave Qiao Hao a sneer.

Qiao Hao frowned slightly, feeling the other party's hostility.

"Look for Xiaoshi. He seems to be doing waist piercing. He's been away for a long time. He should be back soon." The old lady who was feeding the meal got up and said to Qiao Hao.

"Oh, so, thank you... I am his friend." Qiao Hao nodded hurriedly, eager to show his identity, but felt that it was unnecessary after speaking.

"I said, I have never seen such a young and handsome doctor in this department." The old lady nodded kindly, and wiped the porridge overflowing from the corner of the old man's mouth.

Qiao Hao smiled at her awkwardly, and when he was hesitating whether to leave or stay, the door behind him was pushed open.

About three or four medical staff pushed a wheelchair into the ward, and Qiao Hao was pushed to the door.When he looked over again, Shi Dongdong was lying on the bed supported by them.An older doctor at the head told the woman next to the bed, "Don't put a pillow on it, let him lie on his back for six hours, and call the nurse if he feels uncomfortable."

The woman nodded repeatedly, while the person on the hospital bed was lying on his back in a daze, looking at the ceiling, completely ignoring the others in the room.

Qiao Hao wanted to leave because he didn't want to show up when Shi Dongdong was so tired. He knew that lumbar puncture would not be too easy.But he didn't want to leave, he wanted to ask Shi Dongdong why he wanted to make waist wear, and talk to him.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw the bald head sitting up from the bed, sticking his head out and shouting at Shi Dongdong, "Xiaoshi, you have a doctor friend to see you."

Now, Qiao Hao could no longer hesitate, so he could only approach Shi Dongdong's bedside.

"Are you...?" The woman who communicated with the doctor before asked Qiao Hao hesitantly.

"I'm Shi Dongdong's classmate." Qiao Hao nodded politely to the woman.

"Qiao Hao!" The person on the bed reacted immediately when he heard the voice. When Qiao Hao looked over again, he saw Shi Dongdong leaning on the side of the bed with his elbows, about to get up.

"Oh! Don't move, the doctor just said that you have to lie flat for six hours!" The woman rushed over and held Shi Dongdong down as if facing an enemy.

"Aunt Yu, I'm fine, Qiao Hao is my friend, I'll talk to him." Shi Dongdong patted the hand of the woman named Aunt Yu, stopped struggling to get up, and lay down by himself to reassure her.

Aunt Yu looked at him worriedly, then at Qiao Hao, and then picked up the hot water bottle under the bed and left.

"Don't move." Qiao Hao finally dragged the stool and sat beside Shi Dongdong.

"I thought you wouldn't come to see me." Shi Dongdong turned his head to look at him, his face was different from the dull expression just now, and now he smiled happily.

"I didn't want to come." Qiao Hao said truthfully, seeing Shi Dongdong lying upright on the bed and unable to move, he felt as if he was being tugged by something.

"That's embarrassing, I made you see me as if I was paralyzed as soon as I came here."

"Why are you doing waist piercing?" Qiao Hao ignored his joke and just asked him.

"They said they still need to observe before considering surgery. Now they are undergoing chemotherapy. Some medicine will be injected through the lumbar puncture, and some kind of intravenous catheter will be inserted for infusion in two days... Well, does it hurt?" Shi Dongdong said a little panting, midway He stopped suddenly, with a frightened look on his face when he asked the question.

Qiao Hao frowned silently in his heart. Lumbar puncture, chemotherapy, and central venous catheterization were all terms that should have been very far away from Shi Dongdong's age, but now they were all spoken from his mouth and experienced by him. Shi Dongdong felt uncomfortable for him all the time.

"...does it hurt?" Shi Dongdong asked again.

"Do you feel pain from lumbar puncture?" Qiao Hao asked him back.

"I did waist puncture twice before I was diagnosed," Shi Dongdong pursed his lips, then grinned, "I almost passed out the first time I did it, I was so scared."

"What about today?" Qiao Hao couldn't help laughing.

"The doctor's skills are good today, and I didn't pass out...Actually, why can't we insert the needle from the stomach? This way, it's much better to let people see it than to turn your back on random guesses."

"Some people are afraid to watch it." Qiao Hao was speechless, only thinking that Shi Dongdong was pretending to be good spirits.

"You haven't answered my question about whether it hurts or not." Shi Dongdong pressed, like a boy who talks a lot.

"It hurts! It hurts to death!" The bald man next to him interrupted, looking at Shi Dongdong with a sneer on his face, "But you don't have to be afraid, anyway, the hospital is like yours, so pick the one with the best technology to do it." That's it, hit the nail on the head."

It was difficult for Shi Dongdong's eyes to look in the direction of the bald head, so he simply ignored him.

Qiao Hao glanced at the man expressionlessly, then turned his gaze back to Shi Dongdong's face.

"It won't hurt more than lumbar puncture, don't be afraid," he said.

Shi Dongdong blinked his eyes slowly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Well, I believe you."

Qiao Hao looked at Shi Dongdong who was smiling with his head up, and was speechless for a moment.Not long ago, he was hesitant to be friends with the person in front of him again, but now, he felt that he had no room for hesitation.To be friends, or not to be friends, there is no such multiple-choice question at all.

Even if the man was lying on the bed with a pale face and motionless, he could still smile so beautifully. Qiao Hao couldn't move his eyes, but at the same time he felt that he was going to be doomed.

"When the time comes, will you come and accompany me?" The person on the bed asked tentatively, as if afraid that he would refuse, and added, "If you don't go to work."

"Yeah." Qiao Hao didn't think much, and heard himself answer.
