Ambulances roared by on the road.

Qiao Hao sat in the car, still holding Shi Dongdong's hand.Shi Dongdong had his trachea inserted, and his body no longer trembled, but his eyes were closed, and he was unconscious.

Qiao Hao felt that his heart was so suspended that his breathing became difficult. He had followed the ambulance countless times, and he had never been as frightened as this time.

He couldn't even analyze what caused Shi Dongdong's symptoms.

Qiao Min followed him into the ambulance and sat opposite him.

At this moment, Qiao Min was silently looking at his younger brother, silent but thoughtful.

Qiao Hao couldn't look at her, and he didn't want to be distracted to look at her. His eyes were all on Shi Dongdong, who was lying on the stretcher bed so fragile that he seemed to leave at any time.

The oxygen in the airbag was continuously fed into his body through the trachea, but the blood oxygen saturation and heart rate displayed on the instrument were both dropping.

"Driver, please drive faster!" Qiao Hao's voice trembled.

The ambulance quickly drove into Qiao Hao's hospital, and the medical staff pushed the patient into the emergency room like a war, then transferred to the CT room, and then the operating room.Qiao Hao followed closely, but was pushed out by the crowd outside the operating room.

"It's possible that the intracranial tumor is bleeding. Now we need to open the skull to stop the bleeding and remove the blood clot..." A doctor said in front of him, but not to him.

"Mr. Shi will arrive soon, please save him as soon as possible." The person who spoke was Chen Zhi, and Qiao Hao didn't know when he would appear here.

"Don't worry, we will do our best. Director Wang of the neurosurgery department will perform the operation himself." The doctor nodded and walked into the operating room, which opened the door automatically.

"Is it so serious to need a craniotomy?" Finally, Qiao Hao heard himself asking.

"You shouldn't have taken him out of the hospital at all." Chen Zhi looked at him.

"I went to seek the opinion of the doctor in charge, and he didn't object." Qiao Hao regretted so much.

"That's because Dongdong insisted on going!" Chen Zhi raised his voice.

Qiao Hao couldn't speak, he fell down on the bench in the corridor in frustration, feeling his hands and feet were cold.

"I can't blame you, I know what he's going to do...he'll be fine." Chen Zhi sighed.

Not far away, Shi Chongshan and the secretary hurried over, and Chen Zhi immediately followed, and they were invited into the reception room by the hospital staff.

Qiao Hao watched from the corridor, not in the past, nor did he want to go there, he only hoped that the red light at the entrance of the emergency room would be turned off soon.

"Go and bandage your hands." Qiao Min walked to his side and said softly.

Qiao Hao shook his head, the back of his hand was bitten by Shi Dongdong, the blood on the wound had solidified, and the bloodstains looked very hideous.

Qiao Min didn't force him, but just sat down beside him.

"Does Shi Dongdong have cancer? He is so young..."

"How did you know?" Qiao Hao raised his head, and the word "cancer" in Qiao Min's mouth made his heart ache. He has always known that Shi Dongdong has cancer, but he has never He really felt that Shi Dongdong was a cancer patient, and he couldn't imagine that such a person would have to suffer from cancer pain.

"The doctor was talking about tumors just now." Qiao Min shook his head.

"His tumor grade is very low." So, please don't speak with such an expression.

"Then, you should take it easy." Qiao Min covered the back of his younger brother's hand, clenched tightly into a fist.

Qiao Hao suddenly wanted to hug Qiao Min, he was really frightened.

However, he just lowered his head, Ren Qiaomin held his hand, and then felt the sockets of his eyes burning.

"The last time you saw the show, you said he was your middle school classmate," Qiao Min paused, his voice slow but clear, "Is he just your middle school classmate?"

"I like him." Qiao Hao said it out. At this moment, he no longer wanted to hide from Qiao Min, "I like him, not the kind of like among friends."

Qiao Min took a long breath and was speechless.

"Don't tell your parents, keep it a secret for me," Qiao Hao looked at Qiao Min's hand, lowered his head and called, "Sister."

Qiao Min was silent for a long time, and then spoke again, "Our parents are really worried..."

Shi Dongdong's surgery lasted until evening.

Qiao Hao watched as Shi Dongdong was pushed out of the operating room with an elastic net on his head and an oxygen mask on his face, and found that his legs were so numb that he couldn't walk.

Shi Chongshan, who had been in the reception room, went up to meet him. The moment he saw his son, his lips twitched a few times on his old face.

"There isn't much bleeding, and the situation has stabilized." A doctor comforted him.

Qiao Hao sat in his seat, feeling that the hanging heart had finally returned to its original position.

A group of people surrounded the hospital bed and walked past him, but he lowered his head dejectedly and did not catch up.

If he didn't want to take Shi Dongdong to that goddamn engagement ceremony as the end of his last relationship, is it because Shi Dongdong is still sitting quietly in the ward at this time, waiting for the chemotherapy to start again tomorrow?

At least, you don't have to suffer as much as you do now.

Qiao Min had already left in the afternoon, and he asked her to go back and tell her mother that Shi Dongdong was just suffering from viral encephalitis, because of this disease he was staying at his home, and he planned to come to the hospital for treatment today.

Qiao Min didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder and left.

Qiao Hao was grateful to her in his heart, the hand that his sister stretched out to him had already given him a lot of comfort.

At this time, he took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was already seven o'clock.The sky was almost dark, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind - the engagement ceremony between Huo Yan and that woman should have ended long ago, Shi Dongdong, after all, he missed it.

Finally, Qiao Hao stood up from the bench, he will be on night shift tonight.

He hastily ate a boxed lunch at the convenience store in the inpatient building, and poured another cup of black coffee. No matter how hungry he was, he had to keep working at night.

When Qiao Hao walked to the inpatient floor of the Respiratory Department, before the colleagues who took over the shift could speak, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.

"Is An Ning... in a bad situation?" He asked sensitively.

The colleague nodded, then shook his head helplessly, "You may have to write his record."

Qiao Hao's heart sank, he knew what record his colleague was talking about.

Walking into An Ning's ward, there were two little nurses accompanying the boy. Their eyes were red, and when they saw Qiao Hao, they all stepped aside to make room.

Contrary to Qiao Hao's imagination, the boy on the hospital bed was much more awake than the previous few days.Somebody inserted an oxygen tube under his nose, and there was not much pain on his face with his eyes open, but the corners of his mouth slowly raised when he heard Qiao Hao's voice.

"Doctor Qiao..." It was Qiao Hao who An Ning called first.

But his voice was so soft that Qiao Hao had to sit by his bed and lower his head close to his head.

"It seems that the effect of the experimental medicine is good. You are much better than a few days ago." Qiao Hao said to him.

"Well, I also think this medicine is good... I hope it will not be so expensive in the future, so that more people like me can be saved..." An Ning said and paused for a while, but thinking and expression counted. Clearly, "Dr. Joe...I just went to my high school."

Qiao Hao frowned faintly.

"The teacher and classmates said that when I recover from illness... I should go back to class." An Ning's eyes moved from Qiao Hao's face to the ceiling, "Actually, they don't know... I probably won't recover so soon."

"So you have to work hard to recover." Qiao Hao reluctantly said.

An Ning blinked her eyes, and answered Qiao Hao, "I went home just now. Dad seems to have gone to work. I saw my mother breastfeeding my brother... But, I seem to remember that my brother was not born so soon. My text I haven't finished recording yet...so, Dr. Qiao...did I sleep for a long time before?"

"Yes, you slept for a long time." Qiao Hao said cautiously, he didn't dare to break the boy's dying dream.

"Why do you still want to sleep after sleeping for a long time..." An Ning smiled and closed his eyes slightly. His face was already so thin that there was almost no fat on it, but his eyes were amazingly bright at this moment, and he smiled happily. The light from the pupils gathered together, so bright that one couldn't bear to take a second look.

"Doctor Qiao...do you know, when I went to school just now...a girl greeted me, this girl wrote me a letter before..." An Ning smiled again, showing a little shyness on her face, "Actually, it's a love letter... However, it was the first year of high school at that time, so I didn't reply her anything, it was considered... a rejection."

After An Ning finished speaking, he stopped for a long time without continuing. Qiao Hao was a little uneasy, and whispered in his ear, "You are quite attractive."

Hearing his words, An Ning seemed to come to her senses again, and shook her head slightly, "Actually, I rejected her...not because we are still middle school students..."

"Is it because of your illness?" Qiao Hao answered his words, trying to get him to say something more, because at this moment he had a kind of fear, as if their conversation stopped, maybe the boy would leave.

An Ning shook her head again, but did not continue the previous topic, "...After being hospitalized for so long, I have thought about what kind of life I would have lived if I hadn't been sick, whether I would have studied hard like others... Then I will be admitted to a good university...Continue to study hard in the university, and then take the postgraduate entrance examination...I should not be too young when I graduate, I will find a stable job...The salary is average, and I need to look at the boss's face when I go to work... ...But every month when I receive my salary, I will buy some food for my parents... Ah no, I will directly hand over all the money to them..."

As An Ning spoke, her breathing became heavier.

Qiao Hao quickly adjusted the amount of oxygen to the maximum. However, he had no other choice but to do this. He wanted to tell An Ning to stop talking, but he knew that An Ning might not have the chance to speak again.

"...Then, Mom and Dad may urge me to find a...girlfriend, if I am not sick...I will...have no excuse to reject them..." An Ning looked at Qiao Hao, his strength was weak, He also began to struggle to open his eyes, but at this moment, he was looking at Qiao Hao with difficulty.

"Why did you reject them?" Qiao Hao seemed to have guessed something in his heart.

"Because they definitely want me... to find a good girl... to get married, have children, and live the most normal life... But, I don't want this at all..." An Ning frowned slightly, and her panting voice became heavier again .

"Is it because of your illness?" Qiao Hao felt uncomfortable, he could only helplessly look at the boy who was struggling to breathe.

"No..." An Ning laughed helplessly, "Doctor Qiao,... I don't just have a heart problem...my heart is also different from others..."

"It's not different," Qiao Hao said after taking a deep breath, "What you think is not a big deal."

"Really?..." An Ning's eyes became brighter, but this time, it wasn't the light that flickered, but the moisture in the eyes.

"Really, I support you." Qiao Hao leaned closer to An Ning's ear again.

An Ning's chest rose and fell violently a few times, but there was a calm smile on his face. He sighed softly, his voice was too low to hear, "As long as you know my thoughts..."

Qiao Hao heard this sentence clearly.

However, he didn't know what to say.

An Ning seemed to have finished all he wanted to say, and he closed his eyes again. The moment he closed his eyes, the moisture in the corner of his eyes condensed into a tear and fell onto the pillow.

Qiao Hao's heart was filled with grief, and all he could think about was the boy's appearance when he first saw him. At that time, An Ning was still a healthy-looking middle school boy, and he was his first doctor in this hospital.

"An Ning..." Qiao Hao called him softly. He recalled that he called him the same name when he was in the outpatient clinic. Then, a boy in school uniform came in from the door and saw him as a doctor. Shi Weiwei was a little surprised, at that time he had just become a resident doctor.

But now, when he called this name, the person in front of him didn't agree to him again, and An Ning fell asleep again.

The ups and downs of his chest became weaker and weaker, his body in a hospital gown was covered under a thin blanket, his hands were laid flat on both sides of his body like dead branches, and there were scars in patches on them, which were hung before. It was left by the pinhole of the water, and now, there are no pipes on these hands.

"An Ning, sleep well." Qiao Hao held An Ning's hand and whispered in his ear again.
