you are my lungs

Betrayed by his own daughter, Qin Baichuan was devastated.

At night, he lay on the bed in the duty room and couldn't sleep, wondering if He Qi took Qin Chuchu's words seriously, and what he would do if He Qi took it seriously.

After thinking about it for a long time, Qin Baichuan couldn't come up with a clue, so annoyed that his teeth itch: Qin Chuchu, you...

At one o'clock in the night, a pregnant woman came with difficulty in breathing and pleural effusion. The obstetrics and gynecology department called Qin Baichuan. He discussed it with the doctor on duty in the respiratory medicine department and decided that he could only do pleural effusion first.

I kept tossing and tossing until six o'clock in the morning, and took another chest X-ray. This time it was confirmed that it was tuberculosis.

The pregnant woman is 35 weeks pregnant, and the fever is quite serious. Qin Baichuan did not dare to be careless, and prescribed an intravenous infusion of ammonium salicylic acid. The obstetrics department made a call, and he was relieved when they told him that there was no problem.

The hospital had a check-up recently, and Qin Baichuan was called to the ward to check the medical records during the lunch break. He didn't eat lunch, so he ate a piece of bread and went back to the consultation room for the whole afternoon.

He was about to leave work when he saw more than 20 WeChat messages He Qi sent him. First in the morning, he asked if he could take Chuchu to Yutan Park to see the cherry blossoms. In the afternoon, he said that Chuchu really wanted to go, so he took Chuchu there first.

Yutan Park was full of people, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. He Qi took a lot of photos of Chuchu and sent them to Qin Baichuan.

Qin Baichuan hurriedly replied: Sorry, I didn't open WeChat today, I just saw it, I'm sorry to trouble you by taking Chuchu to play.

He Qi: You're welcome, Chuchu and I are waiting for you at home.

Qin Baichuan was stunned when he saw this. He hadn't thought it through yet, but if he was not careful, the uncooked rice was almost cooked by Qin Chuchu.

After returning home, Qin Baichuan took out the key to open the door, and Qin Chuchu turned the door from the inside when he heard the sound.

Qin Baichuan saw that she was still dragging a plush rabbit and pulling on the little slippers, and when he saw him, he called "Dad" with joy on his face, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only ask in a low voice, "What kind of uncle are you?"

Qin Chuchu pointed to the kitchen: "Uncle He is cooking."

The range hood in the kitchen was booming, but it seemed that he hadn't heard anything outside.

Qin Baichuan closed the door, went into the house to change his shoes, and asked Qin Chuchu while changing his shoes, "Do you still remember what you promised your father the day you climbed the mountain?"

"...Huh?" She really couldn't remember.

Qin Baichuan changed his slippers and squatted down, looking directly at her: "You promised Dad that day that you would not tell Uncle He Qi whether you like it or not. This is Dad's own business, and Dad will find an opportunity to tell him, understand ?"

Qin Chuchu buried her head in her chest, and nodded with difficulty.

"You must do what you promised to others." Qin Baichuan patted her head, "You promised your father that you would not tell Uncle He Qi this secret, but you still told him...then you and your father now Guaranteed, I won't mention it to him again in the future, okay?"

Qin Chuchu nodded again.

Qin Baichuan: "You promise?"

"I promise." Qin Chuchu looked up at him.

"Okay." Qin Baichuan stood up, "A gentleman can't chase after a word."

In the kitchen, He Qi didn't hear Qin Chuchu's movement for a long time, he was a little worried, and called out: "Chuchu?"

Qin Baichuan walked into the kitchen in response: "Well, well, I'm back."

When He Qi turned his head and saw him, he was startled, his expression flashed several times in the panic, and finally switched to his usual smiling face: "You're back?"

Qin Baichuan wasn't much better either, he didn't dare to look at him: "I'm really bothering you, I'm still cooking for Chuchu."

"No trouble, I have to cook at home." He Qi turned around and threw two pieces of rock candy into the apple in syrup, "It's just a matter of you coming back to eat together. It tastes better when there are more people."

Qin Baichuan saw that on the cooking table, He Qi had already fried two dishes, eggs with colored peppers, and shrimp with pineapple, which should be Chu Chu's favorites.

There was still half a pot of braised pork ribs in the refrigerator, Qin Baichuan took it out, and planned to heat it up and eat it together.

There were two natural gas stoves in the kitchen. Qin Baichuan took the pot He Qi had just used, poured the ribs into it, put it on the other stove and turned it on.

The sugar water in He Qi's pot had already boiled, and the steam hit He Qi's face, making his eyelashes wet.

He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, put the lid on the pot, and planned to simmer for a few more minutes, but when he raised his head, he saw Qin Baichuan looking at him close at hand.

He Qi immediately shrank back and leaned against the counter behind him.

"...What's wrong with you here?" Qin Baichuan seemed to be casual, raised his hand and scratched He Qi's neck. There was a coin-sized piece of skin that was red, like a hickey, but a little rough like psoriasis.

"...Oh!" He Qi stretched out his hand unintentionally and pinched it, "I don't know why, it turned red by itself, maybe it's an allergy."

Qin Baichuan desperately moved his gaze away from He Qi's sharp wrist and collarbone, covered the pot, turned and walked out: "It must have touched something, wait a moment, I'll find some iodophor and apply it to you."

He Qi breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head to poke the soft apple in the pot, and made circles in his heart...

Within 2 minutes, I heard Qin Chuchu outside screaming "Dad!"

He turned off the fire and ran out to see that Qin Baichuan was struggling to stand up against the wall, with sweat on his forehead: "I'm hypoglycemic...it's okay, I forgot to eat at noon and I'm hungry...Chuchu, go to the medicine cabinet for help." Dad took the bag of glucose powder and the bottle of purple iodophor."

Qin Chuchu ran to get the medicine after getting the order, He Qi helped him to sit at the table, worried about him, and asked him if he was like this often.

Qin Baichuan was still flustered and trembling, tried his best to smile and said to He Qi: "It's all right, don't worry, there is something special today, I didn't have lunch at noon..."

Qin Chuchu ran over and brought the glucose powder. He Qi turned around and went into the kitchen to fill a small bowl of sugar water. Qin Baichuan poured half a bag of glucose powder into the sugar water and drank it one mouthful at a time. It was so sweet that he lost his teeth, but It finally helped him survive the hypoglycemia.

He Qi didn't expect that such an aggressive person like Qin Baichuan would also have hypoglycemia, and he felt a little distressed after the accident, so he took Qin Chuchu to serve the food on the table, and told Qin Baichuan to eat more sweets.

Holding the bowl, Qin Chuchu snickered at her father, her eyes rolled around as if to say: "Uncle He just likes you".

Qin Baichuan glared at her—"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will let you know what regret is."

After eating and washing the dishes, it was past eight o'clock. Qin Chuchu watched TV for a while, then went to the dining room to say that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep.

He Qi and Qin Baichuan were chatting about the lawsuit concerning property rights in the community. The second instance case was filed in the Municipal Intermediate People's Court, and the trial will start a month later. The problem is that Professor Hu's wife is still in the hospital, and Qin Baichuan is afraid that Professor Hu will not be able to take care of him.

He Qi said: "If you need my help, you can come to me at any time."

Qin Chuchu muttered again: "Father, I'm going to bed."

Qin Baichuan was puzzled, and turned back to her and asked her, "If you're sleepy, brush your teeth and wash your face, why are you asking me?"

Qin Chuchu looked aggrieved: "Where do I sleep? Does Uncle He still sleep in my bed?"

"Ah, this..." Qin Baichuan almost forgot about this and couldn't answer.

He Qi stood up and said goodbye: "It's getting late, you guys go to bed early, I'll go back first."

"Don't, don't..." Qin Baichuan couldn't control himself, stood up and stretched out his hand to hold him, "It's getting late, you should stay here."

"..." The air suddenly thickened, He Qi took a few breaths carefully, patted his arm with his backhand, and replied with a smile: "No, my window is open, I have to go back today...you are worth once every four days Are you on duty? Chuchu told me, I will come back next time you are on duty, so you have a good rest."

He Qi's eyes were particularly frank.Seeing that look, Qin Baichuan understood that he had no intention of refusing at all.

——Whether it was taking care of Chuchu or Qin Baichuan's affection, he didn't intend to refuse.

Qin Baichuan seemed to have received an indescribable surprise, sent He Qi out of the house, sat on the sofa when he came back, and began to think: He Qi now knows that I like him, I know that He Qi knows that I like him, why doesn't he know that I know that He Qi knows that I like him he……

But the question is whether I like him or not...
