Qiao Hao completely gave up on the attending physician exam.

Because the day of the exam was the day he asked Shi Dongdong to watch the performance of the South Orchestra.

But on such an unfortunate Saturday, Qiao Hao was busy all morning.The pharmaceutical company temporarily issued a group of inquiry notices for clinical trial targets for the development of drugs, and one of the drugs was targeted at An Ning's symptoms, so Qiao Hao was busy helping him fill out the application form and prepare the application materials.

He sent a text message to Shi Dongdong, asking him to wait for him after lunch.

Shi Dongdong replied to him, "You are busy, I will wait for you."

The concert was at 02:30 in the afternoon. Originally, Qiao Hao’s plan was to go to get a haircut with Shi Dongdong. He agreed to shave his head with him that day, and then invited him to his home to cook a simple and nutritious lunch for him. He can go to the concert after a short rest.Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes after all.Seeing the message he sent at this moment, although it was short, the three words "I'll wait for you" made Qiao Hao feel extremely warm in his heart.

"Dr. Qiao, thank you, you are resting today and let you write this for me."

In the ward, An Ning sat on the hospital bed, watching Qiao Hao look at the phone from time to time, feeling a little sorry.

"It's okay, that's what it should be. This pharmaceutical company has a good reputation, and the medicine is specially designed for your illness. If the application is successful and you become the subject of the experiment, you are very lucky. You can use the medicine that may have the best effect. And the medicine fee is free, which will reduce a lot of burden on your parents."

"En!" An Ning seemed greatly encouraged after hearing this, and nodded heavily to Qiao Hao, then looked at the pen in his hand, with a deep smile on his face.

However, Qiao Hao couldn't bear to look at An Ning's smile.He had lost a lot of weight recently, and his cheekbones had begun to sink inward along his cheekbones, making his eyes appear extraordinarily large.

Qiao Hao knew that long-term chronic illness and physical weakness caused severe electrolyte disturbance in An Ning's body, which is why she lost weight suddenly.Thinking of the boy's face with some baby fat when he first entered the hospital, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. After all, he didn't have higher medical skills to help patients get rid of their pain.

When he was in college, he saw a famous saying of a doctor in the West, "Sometimes it is healing, often it is relief, and it is always comforting." , but that's all.

The drug that is being applied for An Ning is actually still in the experimental stage, but for An Ning who has no medicine available, it cannot be regarded as a life-saving straw.Especially seeing the child's full of anticipation since he got the news, Qiao Hao felt that he really had an obligation to help him complete the application.

After dealing with An Ning's matter, Qiao Hao hurried to the cafeteria to eat some food, and finally came to the small garden of the hospital 5 minutes earlier than the agreed time - this is the place where he and Shi Dongdong agreed to meet.

The bench in the small garden was empty, and there happened to be a shade of a tree there, so Qiao Hao walked over and sat down.

The sun was shining brightly, and the weather had started to become hot. Qiao Hao remembered the first time he met Shi Dongdong here, when it was still the season to wear sweaters.During this period of time, his own life is still as busy as before with rounds, consultations, and writing medical records... However, his mood has ups and downs, and he is no longer as calm as before.Sometimes, he feels anxious, sometimes he is particularly happy, sometimes anxious, and sometimes at ease, such as now.

Qiao Hao knew that all this was because of Shi Dongdong.

Up to now, Qiao Hao is no longer entangled in how to define his feelings for that person.He loves him, no doubt about it.

But what about that person to himself?Qiao Hao was a little afraid to be sure.He seems to be very dependent on himself, but is that love? ...

"Qiao Hao!" Someone was waving to him, calling his name and walking in the sunlight.

Qiao Hao saw the person coming, and all the previous thoughts in his heart suddenly drifted away to nowhere, so he stood up instinctively and ran over.

Shi Dongdong wore a white short-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of dark sports pants. After taking off his hospital gown, he seemed to be a different person.

"Look!" Approaching, Shi Dongdong tore off the hat he had been wearing all the time.

Qiao Hao's eyes widened, and he realized that he had shaved his head.

Shi Dongdong, who had shaved his head, touched his head and asked Qiao Hao, "How is it, is he handsome? Does he look like a prison escape hero?"

Qiao Hao suddenly choked up, not knowing why he was so emotional all of a sudden, he couldn't speak for a while.

"I don't wear a hat to go to the show, shouldn't it matter? But, I'm going to see folk music later... It would be good to watch rock and roll, will folk music..."

"No, you are so handsome and cool." Qiao Hao finally said.

"Really?" Shi Dongdong laughed, touching his bald head while laughing.

"Didn't you say you wanted me to accompany you to shave?" Qiao Hao touched it with his hands, the stubble was very hard to the touch, like a beard that grew out overnight. He remembered that Shi Dongdong's hair that he touched before was originally very soft. The supple kind.

"I know you are busy, and I want to give you a surprise. I have confidence in my hair." Shi Dongdong was still laughing, as if shaving his head was a very happy thing.

"Well, your facial features are also suitable for a bald head. Wearing a monk's robe can play the role of seducing a monk." Qiao Hao pushed Shi Dongdong out of the hospital, fearing that he would feel uncomfortable standing in the sun for too long, "It's not early Alright, we have to make a call."

The two waited at the gate of the hospital for a long time, but no taxi came.

At noon, Cicada started barking.

"How about taking the bus? Can you bear it?" Qiao Hao was still worried about Shi Dongdong's health.

"No problem, I shaved my head today and walked alone. After the first phase of chemotherapy, I feel much more relaxed." Shi Dongdong did two chest expansion exercises, like a teenager preparing to play on the court.

"That's good..." Qiao Hao said, ready to lead him to the bus stop not far away, but before he finished speaking, a black car drove up in front of them.

The window of the cab of the car was rolled down, and the people inside said to them, "Get in the car, where are you going?"

Qiao Hao noticed that the smile on Shi Dongdong's face almost stopped immediately, because the person in the car was Chen Zhi.

"I said, please don't follow me. I'm with Dr. Qiao, I'm safe. No one will kidnap me, and I won't run away. You don't have to hang around all day, waiting to send me to the morgue!" Shi Dongdong said with Putting his hand against the car window, he became more and more excited as he talked, and wanted to kick the car door with his foot after speaking, but his body suddenly staggered.

Qiao Hao quickly supported him, and asked anxiously, "Are you all right?"

Shi Dongdong shook his head, but glared at Chen Zhi in the car.

Qiao Hao hurriedly gestured to Chen Zhi from behind Shi Dongdong, patted himself and waved, meaning to let him leave at ease.

Chen Zhi had no choice but to wait for Qiao Hao to push Shi Dongdong's hand away from the car window before starting the car.

Qiao Hao also pulled Shi Dongdong to the bus platform. Although the people around him were silent, Qiao Hao knew that he was still angry, and his chest heaved violently.

"Why are you acting like a child? You were fine just now, joking and laughing and asking me if I'm a handsome guy." Qiao Hao's tone was relaxed, trying to calm down Shi Dongdong's mood.

Shi Dongdong forced the corners of his mouth to smile at him.

The bus came soon after, and the bus was empty at noon, so the two found a double seat and sat down.

Shi Dongdong leaned against the window and watched the scenery for a long time.Just when Qiao Hao was thinking about finding another topic to make him happy, he suddenly turned his head.

"Qiao Hao, I don't know why. After being sick, my emotions became more and more uncontrollable. Actually, I didn't hate Chen Zhi that much, although I knew he was the one who told my dad about Huo Yan and me... …But, even without him, my dad will know one day that it’s just his job, right? He supports himself by doing it, and he’s saved my life a few times, too…”

It turned out to be like this, Qiao Hao sighed in his heart, he never knew that Chen Zhi was the culprit that caused Shi Dongdong and Huo Yan to break up.

"Tumors in the brain will affect your emotions. In the future, you still have to control yourself. The inner peace is the most important thing." Qiao Hao comforted Shi Dongdong, but his heart was not at peace.

Shi Dongdong finally recovered his previous smile, and against the backdrop of the new hairstyle, the curvature of that smile appeared even more profound.

"You...do you still miss that Huo Yan?" Qiao Hao still couldn't hold back, and asked.

"No." Shi Dongdong replied very straightforwardly.

"En." Qiao Hao responded softly.

He will not easily believe Shi Dongdong's answer.

As I know from Aunt Yu, he has never really eaten well, but he can boast in front of him that I can still eat like this, so does today's simple "no" also mean that in what I can't see? Somewhere, he thinks that person is going crazy?
