"How long will it be?"

Nanami glanced at the phone's navigation, looked around again, and said uncertainly, "It seems, it's almost here."

She herself is not a native of Tokyo, so it is inevitable that she is a little unfamiliar with the surrounding roads.

After walking a few steps forward, Nanami pointed to a shop not far away in surprise and said, "This way!" Then she took Qi Qi's hand and trotted over.

The store is not big, and the sign outside the door says "DIY". The decoration is very elegant and clean, and the location is a bit hidden, hidden in a small alley.There were two or three couples sitting scattered in the store, all holding a booklet in their hands, discussing something in a low voice while listening to the explanation of the clerk beside them.

"Is it here?" Qi Qi looked up at the signboard.

"Yes, it is."

Nanami lowered her eyes to look at the palms of the two who were holding each other. It was a subconscious movement just now.Now that I realized it, there was a hint of warmth in the other party's hand, Nanami unconsciously tightened her grip, and a blush appeared on the tips of her originally fair ears.

Qi Qi naturally withdrew her hand, took out her mobile phone from her jacket pocket, and walked straight to the front desk.

Nanami clenched her hands, pursed her lower lip, a trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes, she gathered her mood and followed.

"Welcome, how can I help you?"

"I made an appointment online before, and I came to make a pair of rings for me and my girlfriend."

The clerk led the two to an empty table aside, and handed over the brochure in his hand: "For couples, we have many styles in our store, and these three are the most popular."

Under the introduction of the other party, Qi Qi looked over one by one.

The clerk glanced at Qi Qi, then at the girl beside her, and said enthusiastically, "Your girlfriend is so cute, she is very suitable for this 'Candy Paradise' series of accessories in our store."

When Qi Qi saw that the other party was looking at Nanami beside her, the smile on her face faded a bit, and her tone also became cold: "She is my friend."

Seeing his flattering on the horse's leg, the clerk laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I was rude. Then you can look at the next few models, these are the latest..."

The conversation between the two reached Nanami's ears, and the hand hanging beside her was tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, an indescribable feeling accumulated in her chest that could not dissipate.

……

"Come in." Xiang Qingyao looked at the operation plan on the table, frowned, and said to the people outside the door without raising her head.

"It's time to eat." Zhou Zhen pulled the document in her hand and said slightly annoyed.

"I'll be there in a while." After that, he reached out to take the document back from the other party's hand.

Zhou Zhen hid the things behind her back, pulled Xiang Qingyao up from the chair, walked straight out of the office, and said helplessly, "I'll see after dinner. Look at your state these days, how long have you been?" Didn't you get a good night's sleep?"

Xiang Qingyao was dragged all the way to the elevator by Zhou Zhen, and she simply put down her work and went to the cafeteria.

"Have you been insomnia again recently?"

Xiang Qingyao put her hands into the pockets of her white coat and leaned against the wall without answering.

Zhou Zhen sighed lightly, this reaction was a tacit consent.

"Have you visited Dr. Cheng?"

"I went there once a few days ago."

Seeing Zhou Zhen hesitate to speak, Xiang Qingyao curled the corner of her mouth, and said calmly: "Maybe it's something that happened recently, I'm a little tired, it's not a big problem."

Zhou Zhen gave her a meaningful look. The more Xiang Qingyao reacted, the more serious the situation was.But the other party never mentioned to me why she had insomnia these years, or why she suffered from neurasthenia. Whenever this happened, Zhou Zhen could only worry in her heart and couldn't help her.

Xiang Qingyao skillfully changed the subject: "Are you ready for tomorrow's surgery?"

"Aren't you the chief surgeon?" Zhou Zhen rolled her eyes.

"Then you are still helping."

Zhou Zhen picked up the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, with a worried expression on her face, "Old Xiang, to be honest, I'm not very confident about this operation."

"Or can we adopt conservative treatment? Although the condition will get worse, it can still last for a few years. If this operation fails, then..."

The root of Xiang Qingyao's tongue was a bit astringent, and after a long time, she said to Zhou Zhen who was sitting across from her, "I don't seem to have told you why I have such a big reaction to 'blindness'."

Zhou Zhen took back the chopsticks she had just stretched out, and listened attentively. Xiang Qingyao finally planned to let go of her guard and tell about her.

Xiang Qingyao put down her chopsticks, stroked the thoughts in her head, and said slowly: "When I was an undergraduate student, I had a...friend, the two of us had Luo Bin that day, and the three of us planned to go hiking while we were on vacation. In the taxi, she sat in the co-pilot, and Luo Bin and I sat in the back seat. Later, the car we were in had an accident, and she was scratched in the eye by splashing glass while sitting in the co-pilot."

If only I was the person sitting in the co-pilot at that time, if only I pulled her to sit in the back seat, if only...

Xiang Qingyao felt astringent in her heart, as if a ball of cotton was stuck in her throat.Everything that happened that day is still vivid in my mind. Sitting in the back seat, I and Luo Bin were covered by the seats in front, but the exposed arms were scratched a few times.But Xiao Mengqi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was not so lucky.

I can still clearly remember that the bright red liquid stained her entire cheek along the corners of her eyes, and the siren of the ambulance still lingered in her ears.

Zhou Zhen didn't urge her to continue, but quietly waited for the other party to come out of her emotions.

"The operation failed, she lost her sight." Xiang Qingyao exhaled heavily, her eyes turned red.

"Her dream is to hold her own art exhibition one day. She has dreamed about it more than once and told me about it. However, she can no longer paint."

draw.

One thing flashed through Zhou Zhen's mind so quickly that she couldn't catch it.

"I can understand how painful and regretful it would be for her to have her dream broken because of an accident. Later, she suffered from depression."

Depression.

Another key word, Zhou Zhen seemed to understand something.

"She is in pain, I can feel it." Xiang Qingyao stretched out her hand to cover her heart, as if the feeling of powerlessness from seven years ago came to her heart again.

"But she always pretended to be relaxed in front of me, and then secretly drew one after another bright red gash on her arm."

"I feel sorry for her, but at that time I had to run around the school and the hospital. After all, I still couldn't be with her all the time. The school was delayed that day. When I arrived at the hospital, it was already late, and she left me and left."

Xiang Qingyao wiped away the teardrops that were about to fall from her eyes with her fingertips, sucked her nose, feeling a twinge of pain in her heart.

"Is it... from the rooftop of the Seventh Courtyard?"

Xiang Qingyao nodded slightly.

"I just watched her... and I couldn't do anything."

After Xiang Qingyao finished speaking, the two fell into silence.After a while, Zhou Zhen came over and sat beside her, patting her on the shoulder, "So that's why you went to the ophthalmology department?"

Xiang Qingyao grabbed her arm tightly, and said with a little cry: "It's all because of me, I hurt her."

Zhou Zhen had no choice but to say, "This, it's none of your business, it's just an accident." She didn't expect Xiang Qingyao to think this way in her heart, and she immediately understood where the so-called school rumors came from.

All these years, she was tortured by this to become what she is now?

Zhou Zhen looked at the junior girl in front of her, as if she was no longer the doctor Xiang who was so powerful that she could handle it all by herself, but Xiang Qingyao who had been living in an unwarranted guilt.

She cleaned up the food on the table that neither of them had touched much, and dragged him back to the office.After all, there were too many people in the cafeteria, and almost everyone knew Xiang Qingyao, so she didn't want the two of them to be treated like monkeys.

Back in the office, Xiang Qingyao returned to her usual state, sitting at the desk and continuing the unfinished surgery plan.

Zhou Zhen was worried about her, so she couldn't say anything more now, so she went back to the office and brought the same operation plan, made a cup of red bean milk tea for herself, and made a pot of Biluochun for the other party, and sat on the sofa beside her to accompany her .

……

Gao Jun and Liang Juan waited anxiously outside the operating room until the light on the door turned off, and they hurried to the door.

"Doctor, how is my son?"

Zhou Zhen took off the mask, her forehead was soaked with sweat, she licked her dry lips, cleared her throat and said, "The operation was quite successful, but follow-up observations may occur, and there may be some rejection reactions, so we can't take it lightly now .”

Liang Juan held her hand and thanked her repeatedly.

……

"Qi, it's time to eat!"

Qi Qi sat at the dining table, a little absent-minded.

"What's the matter, are you uncomfortable?" Nanami stepped forward to test the temperature on her forehead with the back of her hand.

Qi Qi grabbed the other party's wrist and put her hand down, then she said: "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."

Nanami sat back on her side, with her other hand attached to the wrist that Qi Qi had grabbed just now, she was lost in thought.

Qi Qi opened the chat interface between herself and Xiang Qingyao from time to time, and the last message was last night. Up to now, she has not contacted each other for a day.

Just now I made a phone call with the other party, but no one answered until the phone hung up automatically.Later, he fought Zhou Zhen again, but it was still the same.

It should be very busy in the hospital, didn't you say that you were preparing for a very tricky operation some time ago?

Qi Qi was thinking inwardly, his eyes were glued to the chatting interface between the two of them, and a palpitation flickered inexplicably in his heart.

Quickly shake off those bad conjectures in your mind.

With Dr. Zhou accompanying her, nothing will happen, right?

……

Zhou Zhen sat outside the operating room, buried her face in her palms, and crystal clear tears leaked from the corners of her eyes.

There were many doctors and nurses standing and sitting beside her, some young nurses were so anxious that they burst into tears, and some older doctors and seniors sat down to comfort her.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Zhou Zhen hummed with sobs, and stared fixedly at the three characters "in operation" lit up on the door.Everything happened so suddenly that no one could react.

There was a rush of footsteps in the corridor, and Luo Bin trotted over with a colleague.

Luo Bin staggered half-kneeling in front of Zhou Zhen, clutching her shoulders tightly with both hands, and asked furiously, "Where is Qingyao?!"

Zhou Zhen pointed to the operating room with the lights on, "It's still inside."

Luo Bin uttered a swear word, and punched the metal seat beside him, and the corridor echoed with a crisp sound of impact.

A male doctor was about to come forward to reprimand him for his behavior, when Xiao Wang, who was waiting by the side, took out his ID card.

"I'm sorry, sister Qingyao is a good friend of our captain, if you care about it, it will cause chaos, please bear with me."

Luo Bin clenched his fists, and there was a clicking sound at the joints, "Where's that bastard?!"
