you are my little world

When Nuomi Xiao's baby was approaching 3 months, Hospital A decided to arrange Director Liu's surgery for him at 6 months, with Xia Yihang as an assistant.Children with congenital heart disease generally have immature organ functions. After undergoing extracorporeal circulation and surgical trauma, they are prone to internal environment disturbance and dysfunction of important organs, so extra care must be taken during surgery.

"Dr. Xia is very good in this respect. He has contributed to the improvement of extracorporeal circulation devices when he was in the United States, so he is quite skilled in the application of new technologies." Director Liu told Nuomi Xiao and Zhang Tenghui routinely. Introduced, while whispering in my heart.

Xia Yihang graduated from the best medical school in the United States, and practiced and worked as a resident physician in the top three hospitals for cardiac surgery. At the age of 30, he was able to perform ordinary heart surgery independently, and now he has accumulated a year or two of experience. Such a difficult operation should not arouse his interest.But he offered to ask for help, which is unavoidably strange.

Nuomi Xiao nodded sincerely, "We also trust Dr. Xia and Director Liu, so I will leave the baby to you."

When they left the director's office, they saw Xia Yihang who was waiting outside for some reason, and he offered to talk to Nuomi Xiao.

"Are Aunt Xiao and Uncle Nuo still in Beijing?"

"Yes." Nuomi Xiao wondered, "Brother Yihang, what can you do with your parents?"

Xia Yihang's expression was calm, "Well, there is something important to discuss."

"That brother—"

"Don't let Ah Yao know."

Nomi Xiao felt a little strange for hiding her brother's behavior, but when she thought of Xia Yihang's feelings for her brother, she instinctively chose to believe it.

She still remembers a New Year's Eve several years ago. At that time, there were very few people setting off fireworks and firecrackers, and the taste of the year was fading, but she was very excited when she just entered college. Let's meet and play the most classic star stick.

When she passed by a tall young man waving two brilliant star sticks, she didn't recognize him as Xia Yihang who had been away for so many years.It wasn't until she played with her first love for a while and wanted to go upstairs after saying goodbye that she noticed that the man was standing downstairs looking at the window of her house.

The floor of Nuo's house is not high, so it looks suspicious.Nuomi Xiao cautiously approached for a look, and when he saw the side face clearly, he covered his mouth in surprise and said: "You are also, also—"

"Hush." ​​Zhang He exhaled a trace of hot air, and the brown fluff on the coat and hat scattered fluffy around Xia Yihang's face, making his complexion look fairer.He put his index finger to his lips, but there was still no expression on his face.

As an adult, Nuomi Xiao still couldn't ignore such a handsome appearance, blushed slightly, and asked: "Brother Yihang, I didn't expect you to return to China." As she was talking, she suddenly thought of the key point, and she couldn't help but said in surprise: "Yes. Are you coming back to find my brother? Or, I'll help you call him down?"

Xia Yihang shook his head, "No need, I just took a look."

Nuomi Xiao looked up at the window and said suspiciously: "But my brother is not in the house now, he is watching the Spring Festival Gala with everyone in the living room."

"I know." Xia Yihang took one last deep look, then nodded to Nuomi Xiao, "Please, don't tell anyone else that I've been here."

After that incident, Nuomi Xiao kept Xia Yihang's secret until now.Later, she thought about it countless times and found that there was something deeper behind it.Spending New Year's Eve at her house was actually quite a coincidence.They have always taken turns at their hometown and grandpa's house, but that time it suddenly happened. Grandpa said that they would spend three years in the house of Nuo's father, Nuo's second uncle, and Nuo's third aunt.

Does Xia Yihang know their family's New Year's arrangements?Nuomi Xiao felt that his brother didn't seem like someone who would spread his private affairs everywhere, not to mention that everyone in their family had already cut off contact with Xia Yihang on social platforms, and both parties had become silent.Most likely, it should be that Xia Yihang visited every New Year's Eve.

She guessed that he had never forgotten his brother all this time, just like his brother's occasional trouble at night—that kind of longing, small but deep, bit by bit, like a gangrene, stubbornly entrenched, hard to get rid of.

The Nuo family couple, who were about to leave for City C and came back during the operation, were also very surprised to hear that Xia Yihang wanted to have a private talk with them.Together, the two decided that nothing was more urgent than Nuo Miyao's lifelong happiness, and they had to stay and listen to what Xia Yihang wanted to say.

That night, after seeing the emergency department, Xia Yihang had just come out of the hospital. As soon as he turned on the phone, he saw several missed calls.The caller was Eric, his Chinese-American classmate when he was a PhD student in the United States.This person was born and raised in the United States since he was a child, but he loves Chinese culture very much. He belongs to the rare escape group among clinical students. He clings to him all day long and asks him to talk about domestic affairs.

When Xia Yihang decided to go back to China, this guy said he would pick a time to see him, but now he suddenly called, which gave Xia Yihang a very bad premonition.

"Hey, Dr. Xia! Guess where I am? Beijing! Hehe, be surprised, I came here to play with you with the vacation I have saved up for several years. That's what it is...you friends come from the west !" Eric still insisted on challenging Xia Yihang's listening with his substandard Chinese pronunciation and messy idioms.

He interrupted Eric's attempt to practice Chinese and asked directly: "Where are you?"

"At the airport, oh, Beijing's subway lines are too complicated, I can't find where your hospital is at all! By the way, there is Chaoyang Park Station here. You said you live in Chaoyang, is it Right? How about I sit here!"

Xia Yihang supported his forehead, "You stay at the airport and don't move, I'll come pick you up right now."

Fortunately, Nuo Miyao had a party at the institute tonight, otherwise he would have parked his car and waited at the gate of courtyard a by now.If possible, Xia Yihang hopes that Nomi Yao will never meet Eric.

Eric, who was standing at the international exit, began to wave his hands excitedly when he saw the familiar face appearing after the window was lowered.Xia Yihang couldn't help calling out to remind him to look at the car, and he saw him running towards a car that was slowly driving into the driveway and avoiding it at a high speed.

"Ah, this must be the car you often call back to care about, right? The black jeep looks very well maintained." Eric started touching here and there as soon as he got into the car. Thinking that this seat is often used by Nomi Yao, she felt unbearable.

"Stop what you're doing, or I'll help you book a ticket back to Seattle right away."

Eric withdrew his hand awkwardly, stroked the back of his hand and said, "Such a baby? You are in a hurry to go back to your country, so you should take some action. Have you reconciled with your lover?"

"Yeah." Xia Yihang didn't say much, and just perfunctory with a very itchy nasal voice, which made Eric, who had been curious for many years, miserable.

He was gearing up, and said with a smile: "Then, this time I live in your house, can I always see your lover?"

"No."

"What?!" Eric was heartbroken, clutching his chest and said with difficulty, "You mean, I've come all the way to Beijing, and I still can't see the person I've been looking at in the photo for four years?"

Xia Yihang glanced at him, "I live in his house now, you can live in my house in Chaoyang."

"You...you are so cruel..."

Xia Yihang directly ignored the person who fell on the co-pilot and twisted and directed and acted on his own, and stepped on the accelerator a little harder.

When we arrived at the apartment building, Eric discussed with him dejectedly, and asked him if he could find a time so that we could meet up for dinner together.Of course, this was rejected by Dr. Xia as ruthlessly as always. Eric thought about it, and suddenly realized something, "I said, are you afraid that I will say something that shouldn't be said?"

Xia Yihang's hand that was opening the door paused, and he cast a sharp look at Eric, "What do you think?"

"I think—" Eric said, pushing open the anti-theft door for Dr. Xia who was stagnant, but he went crazy the moment he saw the inside clearly, "I don't think I need to say anything about it, he can see for himself I know it!"

"Brother?" Xia Yige, who was slumped on the sofa and peeled a grapefruit, jumped up, put the grapefruit on the coffee table, wiped his hands awkwardly, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xia Yihang frowned, "I still want to ask why you are here, is it the key that Dad gave you?"

"That's right, Dad didn't say it. I came to Beijing to study in university. I don't know the place well. I hope you will take good care of me." He lowered his head and stood there like a child who did something wrong, but his eyes could not help Surreptitiously glance up, bringing out some hopeful emotions.

Xia Yihang replied flatly: "You are an adult, you should know how to take care of yourself."

Xia Yige stepped back, with a very hurt look on his face. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Eric came out to be a peacemaker, "Harley, I think it's better to forget it, your brother can't find a house for a while, so let him live for a few days. You don't live here anyway, You know me, and you can definitely get along well with him."

The atmosphere was very dull for a while, Xia Yihang's face was always a little ugly, "Eric, you have been roommates with me for 4 years, you should know me very well. I can let you into this room—"

"It's already a big improvement! I know!" Eric hurriedly expressed his understanding, "Don't worry, we won't mess with your things, I'll help you watch your brother!"

Xia Yihang nodded, reluctantly agreeing, "I'll find you when I'm on vacation."

He turned around and was about to leave immediately. Xia Yige, who had been trembling all this time, finally couldn't restrain the sadness and anger in his heart, and said loudly: "I am your younger brother! Brother, why are you still treating me like this? What happened to my parents back then, wasn't it?" My fault--"

"Really." Xia Yihang opened the door and walked towards the elevator without looking back, "I don't care."

Xia Yige was startled, tears pooled in his eyes.That's right, he never cared, it's been like this for ten years, he doesn't care about anything except Nuomi Yao.
