beloved does not come back

After a while, Yu Lang came over, still smelling of cigarette smoke.Jiang Tianxiao took the last sip of soup and looked at him pretending to be calm: "Teacher, your phone was on just now."

"Oh." Yu Lang picked up the phone and glanced at it, then quickly put it down without saying anything.

Jiang Tianxiao was a little confused, he thought Yu Lang would explain.The "he" in that conversation, Jiang Tianxiao wondered fearfully, could it be me.Although he has nothing to do with the ghost and ghost thing last night, and he didn't offend anyone, but——Yu Lang sent a message to the other party at [-] o'clock last night saying, "You come to me, don't affect him ", no matter how you look at it, it seems to be talking about the underground parking lot. In other words, if Yu Lang is talking about other people and other things, is it necessary for him to send WeChat in the middle of the night?

But why is Yu Lang so calm? Is it okay for me to read the chat records?Jiang Tianxiao thought in confusion.

"Go wash the dishes after eating, use some dish soap, and clean up."

Yu Lang's words interrupted Jiang Tianxiao's crooked thoughts.

"Oh, I'll go right now."

Jiang Tianxiao walked into the kitchen with his and Yu Lang's bowls and chopsticks.This was the first time he entered Yu Lang's kitchen, he didn't expect it to be like this.

There is a lot of space, and Jiang Tianxiao feels that he can turn his head in the kitchen without any problem.The overall color is cold and hard metal, microwave oven, oven (Jiang Tianxiao guessed it), disinfection cabinet...all kinds of utensils are available.

"The detergent is in the cabinet on your right." Yu Lang walked to the kitchen door and added.

Jiang Tianxiao opened the cabinet and saw that there were several cutting boards neatly stacked inside. There were two rows of various spoons, large and small, as well as forks, knives... like a laboratory.

Jiang Tianxiao was washing the dishes with the faucet on, thinking, Yu Lang is really rich... The housing price in Wuhan is not high now, but his house is located in a good location, next to Luojia Mountain, and it is big. There are 150 square feet.In the past, Jiang Tianxiao only knew that university teachers were very rich. Only when he arrived at Yu Lang's house did he really feel what "rich" is. , even a little empty, but after living in it, I can realize the exquisiteness, so exquisite that there is no trace left.Just like this kitchen, if you don't open the cabinets, you don't know that Yu Lang's family has enough tableware to open a restaurant.Another example is the pillow that Jiang Tianxiao slept on last night. After putting his head on it, the pillow under his neck was not pressed down, but bulged up, supporting his neck, which was very comfortable - Jiang Tianxiao had never slept on this kind of pillow anyway.

Yu Lang is so rich, Jiang Tianxiao contacted the WeChat chat records just now, and suddenly thought, could he have caused some trouble?Thoughts together are like wild horses with firecrackers hanging on their tails, they can't stop no matter what.

Jiang Tianxiao went out after washing the dishes, and Yu Lang was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book on Kindle.He frowned slightly, holding his Kindle in one hand, and lightly touching the screen with the other to turn pages, revealing his veined arms from the cuffs of his white shirt.Hearing Jiang Tianxiao came out, he didn't raise his head. After a few minutes, Yu Lang turned off his Kindle, and Shi Shiran stood up: "Let's go."

Such an unattainable Yu Lang shakes Jiang Tianxiao's just-made determination again. In fact, he is also quite annoyed by his own virtue, isn't it just a matter of one sentence, and he can't ask it in his heart for so long.

But the opponent is Yu Lang.

If it was Yu Lang, he had to—how can I say that word, as if facing an abyss, walking on thin ice?

Isn't this how he coveted others fiercely in the past, and now he's more or less excited.

When getting in the car, Yu Lang put the briefcase in his hand in the passenger driver, so Jiang Tianxiao had to roll silently to the back seat.

On the way, Jiang Tianxiao thought over and over again, whether this would appear reckless, childish, and self-indulgent.But the strong curiosity eroded him inch by inch like a rabbit biting cabbage.

Finally, while waiting for a red light, he said, "Teacher, your phone turned on in the morning, and I saw... the chat history on it, uh, I really didn't mean it, it turned on right away."

Yu Lang: "Oh."

I wonder why he is so calm and doesn't even have a questioning tone!

"Well, I don't know if I understand correctly... Are you in any trouble? I saw that the tone of the person you were chatting with was... bad."

After two sentences, Jiang Tianxiao's palms were sweating.

Yu Lang's gaze was reflected from the rearview mirror to Jiang Tianxiao, still so casually: "Do you still want to ask, is the 'he' I mentioned is you?"

Jiang Tianxiao: "..."

Yu Lang: "You think too much, I didn't cause trouble, and that 'he' is not you, we are talking about some academic things."

"Ah, oh, that, that's good." Jiang Tianxiao's cheeks flushed.

Yu Lang glanced at Jiang Tianxiao again through the rearview mirror, but said nothing.

Arriving at the school in a short while, Yu Lang parked the car directly downstairs of the School of History, which was still some distance away from Jiang Tianxiao's dormitory.Jiang Tianxiao originally thought that Yu Lang would send him to the dormitory, but now he could only curse himself in his heart for thinking well, and asked, "Teacher, how can I pay you back the money I spent on seeing a doctor yesterday?"

Yu Lang: "Alipay."

"Okay, I'll pass it on to you when I get back. Then I... I'm going back to the dormitory, and I'm sorry to trouble you yesterday."

Yu Lang locked the car and nodded.

Jiang Tianxiao had no choice but to turn around and leave. He didn't take two steps, but was stopped.

Yu Lang was expressionless: "If you don't have enough money, pay it back later, don't worry."

"Teacher, I have enough money!" Jiang Tianxiao said hastily.

"... That's good." After Yu Lang finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the history school.

Jiang Tianxiao sighed silently.

For Lang, he is just a poor student. He used to be, and he still is. From a small county town to Wuhan, his life has not changed.

I don't know if it was because of the quick effect of the infusion, but Jiang Tianxiao's illness recovered quickly.By Friday, he had started a new part-time job.

——Originally, he didn’t plan to work part-time again this semester, but he paid back more than 500 yuan to Yu Lang during the hospital emergency, and then received a call from his grandma asking for money, and transferred her [-] yuan, so that he would have no money at hand.

The new part-time job I found is a cashier in a pharmacy, six days a week, two, three, four, five and six days, 1500 a month.The salary was a bit low, but Jiang Tianxiao was in a hurry to make money, so he didn't care about that much.Anyway, if you can avoid Monday.

Get busy and the days fly by.Two weeks later, Jiang Tianxiao saw Yu Lang twice.During class, he was still sitting in the second row from the farthest side, looking at Yu Lang like a thief.Yu Lang is always like that, wearing a straight shirt, with a calm but pleasant voice.It's just that Yu Lang didn't look at Jiang Tianxiao again, maybe he was sitting too far away for Yu Lang to see.

On Thursday night, at the pharmacy, Jiang Tianxiao stomped on his numb feet from standing all day, took off his white coat, and prepared to leave.

"Hey Xiaojiang, wait a minute." The pharmacy proprietress called to stop Jiang Tianxiao.

"Ok?"

"Are you free this weekend and next Monday? We will invite Chinese medicine practitioners to come over for free consultations in the next three days. There will be a lot of people at that time. I am worried about Xiao Zheng's work. Come and help."

"I have class on Monday..."

"I have to attend? Aren't your college students' classes not so strict? It's really busy here, so I'll give you an extra 300 yuan bonus this month!"

Jiang Tianxiao was too embarrassed to say no to the proprietress's words, and the 300 yuan bonus was indeed very attractive.

Jiang Tianxiao thought, Grandma Huang and Yu Lang both called the roll call in the first class, and then they didn't count. Next Monday is not the middle of the term or the end of the term, so they definitely won't.Besides, there are hundreds of people in a classroom, and the teacher doesn't care if he comes or not.

"Okay then, I'll come over then."

"Hey, come early!"

"No problem." Jiang Tianxiao replied simply.

Going back to the dormitory at night, Shen Zhe was holding a mobile phone to video with the boss.Jiang Tianxiao leaned over and saw that the boss was wearing a suit and tie, looking like a dog.

"You two are so cool, I'm so tired every day!" The boss said while taking a bite of the steamed bun in his hand: "Damn it, I'm going to be forced to drink in a while, so I have to cushion it first."

"Come on, you, a person who doesn't have to worry about a job or a house, is not qualified to force!" Shen Zhe scolded with a smile.

"How are you two—any plans?" asked the eldest.

"I don't take the postgraduate entrance examination anyway, so I'll work after graduation," Shen Zhe said while looking sideways at Jiang Tianxiao: "What about you?"

"I also... work after graduation."

"Are you both staying in Wuhan to find a job?" the boss continued to ask.

Jiang Tianxiao: "I'm not sure, and I don't know if I can find a good job in Wuhan."

"Hey," the boss said in a seasoned tone, "Why don't you get along slowly? Are you afraid you won't be able to get out?" After a pause, he said, "Anyway, if you two need my help in the future, you must tell me." Ah, it’s okay to borrow 20 and [-]!”

Jiang Tianxiao and Shen Zhe nodded repeatedly.

"Hey, it's time, hang up!"

"You go, talk later!"

After quitting WeChat, Shen Zhe shrugged with a smile: "This guy is rich and powerful, I must go to Changsha to slaughter him in the future!"

Jiang Tian nodded in agreement.

He is not very familiar with the boss, at least not as close as Shen Zhe and the boss.The main reason is, of course, that we can't play together - the boss's money for a pack of cigarettes is enough for him to eat for a day, and everyone's consumption is not at the same level.

Jiang Tianxiao is particularly envious of his boss, who lives in a big city (Changsha is a big city for him), has money, can go home as soon as he graduates, has no worries about work and housing, and is simply a winner in life.

As for himself, he took a lot of effort to get into Wuhan, but his future was still bleak.Sometimes I also think, why don't I go back to Gancheng, so at least I have mixed up from the small county town to the urban area of ​​Gancheng.Jiang Tianxiao twitched his lips in self-mocking, dragons beget dragons and phoenixes, sons of mice can make holes.

On Monday morning, Jiang Tianxiao turned over and opened his eyes.I was sweating again. In the weather in Wuhan, without air conditioning, it would be terrible.

He touched the cell phone next to his pillow and took a look. It was only 6:31, and he set the alarm clock for 7:00.But I couldn't fall asleep anyway, so I just got up, quickly changed my clothes, went to the bathroom, washed up, and went out.

When we arrived at the pharmacy, the boss and his wife had already arrived. The boss was holding a dark red wooden chair with both hands. The backrest was hollowed out in the shape of a dragon, and the four legs of the chair were wrapped with cloth.

"We borrowed this chair as a gift to our neighbors! Xiao Jiang, come and move the table with me," said the proprietress.

Jiang Tianxiao followed her to the back warehouse to move tables, and asked as he walked, "Is the doctor here today very good?"

"No, I invited you here after looking for a lot of contacts. The honorary director of the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has just been invited from Beijing."

"Oh!" Jiang Tianxiao heard the gossip of the shopping guides in the pharmacy. They said that the pharmacy used to hire doctors from small clinics casually. Later, the doctor prescribed the wrong medicine to the old lady and almost killed her. .After that time, the boss never dared to invite a doctor to see him again.

"Xiaojiang, you can help Dr. Li later, you should be smart! Xiao Song also took the initiative to tell me that he wanted to help Doctor Li. I didn't agree, just thinking that you are handsome and look energetic. .” The proprietress exhorted.

"Uh, I know, thank you."

It was just before 08:30 when everything was ready to stop, and Dr. Li arrived at nine o'clock, but the boss asked the employees to stand in two teams at the entrance of the pharmacy to greet Dr. Li, which was considered a supportive scene.At this time, the sun was already quite high, and as soon as he went out, Jiang Tianxiao felt his back start to sweat.

Fortunately, Dr. Li didn't really get stuck.

Not long after, a black Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of the pharmacy.

The boss and the proprietress hurried forward to meet him, Jiang Tianxiao was taken aback, thinking that this doctor is so rich!

The car door opened, and a crutch came out first.

Then there were feet in black cloth shoes and a white coat... Jiang Tianxiao felt a "thump" in his heart.

He didn't know what was going on with the sudden panic, but the strong sense of oppression that followed made him frown uncontrollably.

He applauded along with the crowd. Dr. Li stood between the two groups, smiling kindly.

The boss and his wife surrounded Dr. Li into the pharmacy and asked him to sit on the wooden chair specially prepared for him.The two of them nodded and bowed their heads to exchange greetings with Dr. Li. Seeing this, Jiang Tianxiao hurried to bring over the tea that had been brewed in advance.

"Mr. Li, try it. This is Lu'an Guapian... I don't know what kind of tea you usually drink." The boss handed the small teacup to Dr. Li with both hands.

Dr. Li took it in his hand and smiled: "I usually drink blindly. I drink whatever I have at home. I taste the same."

Jiang Tianxiao thought that Dr. Li had no airs.

Dr. Li took two sips and put down his teacup: "I said before that I need someone to help..."

"That's the kid, Xiao Jiang," the boss patted Jiang Tianxiao on the shoulder: "Where's a college student!"

Jiang Tianxiao hurriedly greeted Dr. Li: "Hi, I'm Jiang Tianxiao."

"Okay, then go ahead and let me explain to this kid."

The boss and the proprietress were busy greeting other things, Jiang Tianxiao stood respectfully beside Dr. Li.

"Is your river the Yangtze River, or the ginger of the ginger?" Dr. Li asked.

"The river of the Yangtze River."

"I heard your accent is from the north?"

Jiang Tianxiao nodded: "My family belongs to Gancheng."

"Gancheng...it's not far from Beijing."

"Are you from Beijing?" Dr. Li spoke standard Mandarin with an accent.

"Yeah, I have never been out of Beijing in my life. I never thought I would come to Wuhan at this age!" Dr. Li shook his head and smiled: "My son was transferred to Wuhan for work, so I must follow him. The food in Wuhan is too spicy. Can't take it."

Jiang Tianxiao's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Dr. Li to be like him: "Me too. I tried Zhou Hei Ya on the first day in Wuhan. It was so spicy that my lips were swollen for two days. After that, I didn't dare to eat it anymore."

"Then you are not as good as me!" Dr. Li laughed loudly: "I often eat with water!"

It was almost time, and Dr. Li explained to Jiang Tianxiao what he needed to do: record the names, gender, age, and condition of the patients who came to see the doctor, and refill the water if the teacup was out of water.

The day passed quickly, mainly because of being too busy.

Jiang Tianxiao didn't expect so many people to come, the slender line even extended to the side of the road outside the pharmacy.Originally, the rest time was from 01:30 noon to [-]:[-]. Seeing this, Dr. Li took the initiative to shorten the rest time to half an hour. He took a few bites of takeaway, stretched his waist, and returned to the consultation table.

Judging from Jiang Tianxiao's few experiences with doctors, Dr. Li really deserves to be the owner of the Chinese Medicine Hospital.Like this kind of pharmacy, isn't it usually all kinds of deceitful patients who buy medicine in the pharmacy?Dr. Li is not. He will explain the illness to the patient carefully. If you don’t need to take medicine, he will specifically tell you “don’t buy medicine.” If you prescribe medicine, you will explain carefully the precautions such as taboo .

The appointment, which was originally scheduled to end at 06:30 in the afternoon, was extended by Dr. Li until almost nine o'clock. He didn't stand up until he prescribed the medicine for the last patient, and said to Jiang Tianxiao who was beside him: " Thank you for your hard work today, Xiao Jiang."

Before Jiang Tianxiao could answer, the boss had already walked over quickly, holding Dr. Li's hand and bowing repeatedly: "Mr. Li, you worked too hard today, too hard. We didn't expect there to be so many people. This is really..."

Dr. Li waved his hands boldly: "My duty is to see a doctor, nothing hard!"

The boss wanted to invite Dr. Li to dinner, but he also refused: "I am used to not eating at night, and I have persisted for more than ten years."

The boss had no choice but to call Jiang Tianxiao to the warehouse: "I have prepared a little care for Mr. Li, Xiao Jiang, please help Mr. Li move it."

"Huh? I won't accept it. I'm here this time to repay the favor of Qu's deputy bureau. How can I ask for..."

The proprietress also came over when she heard the sound, and directly dragged Jiang Tianxiao to the warehouse, and said as she walked, "Mr. Li, they are all small things. You can't accept them!"

In the end, Jiang Tianxiao sat in the passenger seat of Mr. Li.

"It's okay for me to move upstairs by myself, and so is your boss. He insisted on asking you to follow me to my house to help me move!" Mr. Li said while turning the steering wheel.

Jiang Tianxiao smiled: "It's okay, I don't have anything to do at night." In fact, there are still a lot of things, a box of tea sets, and two boxes of fruits.

"I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to go back. The traffic in Wuhan is always blocked."

"Do you often drive? That's amazing." Jiang Tianxiao admired sincerely. Dr. Li is over 70.

"Hey, what's the matter, I used to climb the mountain every week before I was seventy, but I can't climb now."

The cool air from the air conditioner gently brushed over Jiang Tianxiao's body, making him feel very comfortable.He got up early in the morning, and he was really tired after another busy day today.Jiang Tianxiao thought vaguely that he should be able to go back to the dormitory before the entrance guard tonight, tilted his head and fell asleep.

……

"Xiao Jiang, wake up, we're here." Dr. Li pushed Jiang Tianxiao's arm.

"Oh... I fell asleep." Jiang Tianxiao opened his eyes in confusion, and found that the car had stopped.

He and Dr. Li got off the car respectively.

"Eh--"

Jiang Tianxiao closed the car door, looked around, and was stunned for a moment.

The security booth with white lights in the distance, the underground parking lot...

"Doctor Li, isn't this the Fifth Hospital?"

The benevolent old man turned his back to him without any reaction.

"Li, Doctor Li?"

Jiang Tianxiao's heart skipped a beat, and the panic he felt when he first saw Dr. Li hit again this morning.

At this moment, Dr. Li slowly turned his head and looked at Jiang Tianxiao.

He smiled: "This is my home."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Jiang Tianxiao could react, the lights in the parking lot went out.
