It was a muddle-headed dinner, and Qiao Hao didn't know why he agreed to Qiao Min to participate in such a "look at each other".

The girl was one year younger than him. She was generous, beautiful, and talented. During the dinner, everyone asked her to sing a play. It was really a lingering feeling.Everyone chose him as the representative to toast, pushed and shoved and spilled his wine on the girl's clothes, and then booed and asked him to send her back to change her clothes.

In this way, Qiao Hao walked the bustling street with a girl in the evening.

"Your nose is beautiful." The night wind blew, and the girl's voice was as melodious as when she was singing.

However, it took Qiao Hao a while to understand the content of the words.

"Huh?" He was a little taken aback.

"I don't know what you look like in a white coat." The girl said again, with her hands in the pockets of her long skirt, her pretty face facing the evening wind, her chest puffed up.

Qiao Hao didn't know how to answer her, so he just smiled and turned his gaze to the traffic in the distance, but there was only one thought in his mind - is that person sitting in Huo Yan's car?

After sending the girl to the door of the house, he hurriedly said goodbye, ignoring what she hesitated to say, Qiao Hao just hurriedly said that the hospital would be on duty at night, turned around and left.

There was obvious disappointment in the girl's eyes, but Qiao Hao also felt relaxed because of it.

It's just that the relaxation was only for a moment, and then, more random thoughts surrounded him-were the two of them wandering the street, or sitting across from each other in a certain coffee shop?Huo Yan finally knew that Shi Dongdong's "lie" was not a lie, so would he change his mind?Maybe the two are hugging each other and crying...

Qiao Hao returned to his home so exhausted, and there was a text message from Qiao Min in his mobile phone, asking him "how is he feeling".

Qiao Hao pressed reply, and just when he was about to type "I don't feel it", the phone vibrated again, and another text message came in.

Before I had time to look at the sender, the content of the text message jumped into my eyes: "Aren't you going back to the hospital yet?"

Qiao Hao frowned, and saw clearly that the sender was Chen Zhi.

So, are those two still together now?

Qiao Hao sighed in his heart, the time was already 09:30 in the evening.

So, he replied to Chen Zhi, "I met Huo Yan during the performance, Dongdong should be with him now."

Chen Zhi didn't reply.

Qiao Hao threw away his cell phone, took his pajamas, and prepared to take a shower and have a good sleep.Since Shi Dongdong started chemotherapy, he has never slept in his own home.

The weather wasn't cold, so Qiao Hao simply took a cold shower.

As the cold water ran across his body, Qiao Hao shivered. At that moment, Qiao Hao suddenly had an idea, if Shi Dongdong wasn't with Huo Yan.

Once this thought appeared, it was like a deep root had been planted in his heart, and all kinds of vines would grow to surround his heart heavily and tighten it.

If Shi Dongdong is not with Huo Yan, then he is alone now, wandering the streets or sad in a corner?Maybe they had a few conversations after the show ended, but Huo Yan might be very busy and didn't have time to accompany him at all, or Huo Yan didn't care about Shi Dongdong at all, so he didn't want to spend time with him...their last hug, Huo Yan The "goodbye" in the mouth is so decisive.

Qiao Hao thought of Shi Dongdong again. Would a person like him really want to be soft in front of Huo Yan?He has been abandoned twice... Qiao Hao felt that the cold water rushing towards his body turned into ice water.

After hastily washing his body, he ran to the living room to check his phone.

There was still no movement from Chen Zhi, so he impatiently sent a text message to Shi Dongdong, "Have you returned to the hospital?"

After sending this message, he began to hesitate again, if the two were together, would this text message disturb them, or would it be ignored.

Qiao Hao hated his emotions that night, making him feel that as a man, he was so indecisive.

However, as time passed, he became more and more anxious - Shi Dongdong didn't reply.

The two thoughts in my heart were still pulling each other at first, but later, my mind became full of only thinking that perhaps Shi Dongdong was only himself.Then, his physical condition, his illness, all the bad thoughts came.

At eleven o'clock, Chen Zhi called and asked immediately, "Did Dongdong go to your place?"

"No, hasn't he returned to the hospital yet?" Qiao Hao's heart rose to his throat.

"I've been looking for Huo Yan, but he's not with Dongdong! How can you not be with him? Don't you know he's a patient?" Chen Zhi's voice was filled with angry criticism and unspeakable anxiety .

"I'll go find him." Qiao Hao couldn't sit still anymore, and wanted to rush out the door with his mobile phone.

"Don't go anywhere. We are looking for him. He may go to your place. You wait at home and don't go anywhere. I will tell you if I have news. If he goes to your place, please tell me as soon as possible. "Chen Zhi said calmly, with extreme patience in his tone.

Qiao Hao gripped the phone tightly, and could only say "yes" in the end.

In the following time, Qiao Hao didn't dare to throw away the phone. He tried to make a few calls to Shi Dongdong, but found that the person's phone had been turned off.He began to fidget, and even ran to the gate of the community, hoping that one of the people walking from afar would be Shi Dongdong.

However, no, no Shi Dongdong, not even a single pedestrian on the road.

Because, the time has come to the morning.

Just when Qiao Hao's heart was about to explode, Chen Zhi finally sent a text message, "Dongdong is back to the hospital."

Qiao Hao ran back to the hospital, there was no taxi on the way, and he couldn't wait to get home to get the bicycle keys.

When rushing to Shi Dongdong's ward, Chen Zhi was the only one in the corridor.He glanced at Qiao Hao, finally just snorted heavily, and said, "He's in the emergency ward, and he hasn't turned around yet."

"What happened to him?" Qiao Hao felt like he was going to explode.

"He was hit by a car, and the driver of the car took him to a nearby hospital. We found him when we checked the information of that hospital and brought him back."

"Knocked down by a car? Is it serious? How...how did this happen?"

"It's just a skin injury." Chen Zhi's tone was already calm, but the tiredness on his face showed that it was the kind of calm after the storm.

Qiao Hao couldn't wait any longer, turned around and went to the emergency ward, he just wanted to see Shi Dongdong as soon as possible.

"Qiao Hao," Chen Zhi stopped him behind him, "Do you want him to be with Huo Yan, so you leave him alone?"

Qiao Hao stopped in his tracks, but he didn't know how to answer Chen Zhi. After all, he was still not firm enough.

"If you really care about him, don't push him to others. Huo Yan will only make him suffer."

Chen Zhi didn't seem to need his answer either, so he just said something behind him.

Qiao Hao finally nodded, because he didn't want another one after such a tormenting night.

Outside the emergency ward, Qiao Hao opened the door and rushed in.

No one stopped him, and the ward was as quiet as if no one was in it.

The silence made Qiao Hao hold his breath. He forced himself to calm down for a few seconds before turning around and gently closing the door.

It was a single ward, the room was not big, and there was only one night light on.

Under the dim light, Qiao Hao saw Shi Dongdong lying on the bed at a glance.

Just at that one glance, Qiao Hao's heart was filled with great regret and discomfort——Shi Dongdong closed his eyes, and there were a few scrapes on the forehead on his pale face. The wound was not deep, and it was not bandaged after being washed, but The faint bloodstains made that face even paler.

Qiao Hao sat lightly on the side of the hospital bed, and leaned closer to see the person on the bed.

Shi Dongdong seemed to be asleep, his breathing was inaudible, and he didn't know anything about Qiao Hao's arrival.

Qiao Hao didn't bother him, just waited for the time to pass by. Compared with the anxiety before, he just wanted to wait patiently until Shi Dongdong woke up.

But he didn't wait too long, just when he was about to stretch out his hand to help Shi Dongdong cover the blanket, the man frowned slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Dongdong?" Qiao Hao was a little nervous, afraid that something was wrong for him.

"You're here..." Shi Dongdong seemed a little puzzled, and thought for a while before saying.

"I'm sorry." Qiao Hao let out a long sigh. He had been thinking about how to apologize all night.

Shi Dongdong still couldn't understand the meaning of these words, he swallowed dryly and struggled to sit up.

Qiao Hao rushed to support him, and after realizing that he wanted to drink water, he immediately poured him a glass.

Holding the cup, Shi Dongdong drank several sips in a row, as if he had been short of water for a long time, thinking about Qiao Hao's "I'm sorry" while drinking.

"I remember..." Finally, he smiled, "...how is that girl?"

"How about what? You know I'm not interested in those." Qiao Hao said anxiously.

"Then you still go, isn't it harmful?" Shi Dongdong said to Qiao Hao seriously.

"I..." Qiao Hao felt speechless. After all, he couldn't say that he wanted to create opportunities for him and Huo Yan.

"Tell me, why did I become a person who can't even walk back to the hospital by myself?" Shi Dongdong didn't continue Qiao Hao's embarrassment, and suddenly said something leisurely.

"what happened?"

"It was unlucky for that car to bump into me. He honked the horn and stepped on the brakes, but...my feet are numb and I can't move."

Qiao Hao took a deep breath, not daring to imagine what would happen if the situation was worse.

"When the car drove up in front of me, I thought I was going to be happy...I was still thinking about being sick, but at that moment, I felt rushed. How do you say it—tomorrow or accident, I don’t know which one Will be there first..."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone." Qiao Hao was so sad that his body seemed to really feel a sense of oppression, as if the car was hitting him.

Shi Dongdong smiled and shook his head, feeling extremely helpless, "You said 'I'm sorry' the second time."

"I thought...you would..."

Qiao Hao gritted his teeth and wanted to speak out, but Shi Dongdong didn't listen to his words, and opened his mouth again, "My mother also died in a car accident. After being hit, she lay on the bed for a month. , didn't leave a word. I don't know what she was thinking when the car hit her..."

Hearing this, Qiao Hao couldn't help holding Shi Dongdong's hand.That hand was slightly cold, and Qiao Hao couldn't help but clenched it tightly, trying to warm it up.Compared with these emotions in Shi Dongdong's heart, Qiao Hao felt that his thoughts were really nothing.So, he didn't ask any more questions.

Whether Shi Dongdong really didn't care about Huo Yan, or cared so much that he couldn't even mention it, Qiao Hao only hoped that he would be happier, suffer less illness, and be more simple-minded. As long as he could be by his side, he would be fine.

"Qiao Hao..." Shi Dongdong called his name.

Qiao Hao raised his head to look at the person on the hospital bed, and replied softly, "Yes."

"It's good that I'm still alive." Shi Dongdong's eyes turned red.

Qiao Hao also felt a hot current rushing to his forehead, so he stood up and hugged the person in front of him.The feeling was so full and natural that he was too satisfied to say a word.Time also seemed to slow down at that moment, he vaguely heard Shi Dongdong's sobbing, so he hugged him more tenderly, completely unaware that the door of the ward behind him was opened and closed.
