maternity hospital

many years ago.

He Quan huddled on the side of the hillside under the Ye Great Wall, his left ankle was so swollen that he couldn't walk.

The department organized a spring outing to climb the unrepaired wild Great Wall, and he patronized taking pictures and got separated from the large group.He stepped on a loose wall brick and fell to the bottom of the slope below the city wall. Fortunately, he only sprained his ankle, and his other bones were fine.

But he couldn't climb up with bare hands, and the mobile phone in the wilderness had no signal, He Quan once thought that he would die here.Isn't it often reported that a college student went missing on a field trip, and many attempts to find him failed, and it was presumed that he had died.

The spring is cold, and when the mountain wind blows, the whole body is pierced and shivering with cold.He could completely imagine the tragedy when he was finally discovered, gradually being enveloped by a strange sense of fear.As a medical student, he should be a staunch atheist, but now he has to pray that someone will find him.

"He Quan?" A familiar voice came from above his head.

He Quan looked up and saw that it was Zheng Zhiqing from the same department.He and Zheng Zhiqing lived in different dormitories, so they didn't have much contact with each other, and they didn't usually say a few words.But seeing the other party now, he really felt the tears in his eyes when he saw someone close to him.

Zheng Zhiqing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "You wait, I'll go down now."

"What? You go—"

Before He Quan could finish speaking, Zheng Zhiqing had already slid down the weathered city wall, jumping from a drop of more than three meters without blinking.Standing in front of He Quan, seeing him trembling with his arms folded, he quickly took off his windbreaker jacket and wrapped it up.

The warm coat was wrapped around his body, but He Quan couldn't really be moved. He felt that this buddy's admission to the clinic was definitely due to hard work rather than intelligence.Instead of looking for a rope to drag him down, he came down by himself, which is great, and the newspapers needed more photos of college students who died, and they had to cover their eyes with thick black lines.

Unlike He Quan's lively personality who can get acquainted with anyone within 3 minutes, Zheng Zhiqing is not very talkative except for playing basketball in class.The results are very good and have always been among the best in the series, and it is said that it is quite popular.But He Quan didn't speak a few words with each other except for the necessary communication on some occasions, and they couldn't even be called familiar with each other.

Right now, the only person he can rely on is Zheng Zhiqing. Although at first he felt that the other party was stupid to come down to accompany him as a "missing person", it was really worrying about his IQ, but when Zheng Zhiqing gave him his backpack and sat under his buttocks, lest he be stoned. When he felt uncomfortable, he realized that the other party was actually a very gentle person who cared about others' feelings.

"Don't worry, there are people behind, they will find us." Zheng Zhiqing comforted him while checking his ankle, "I just got into the car and found that you were missing, everyone came out to look for it, I ran faster."

"You have tall legs and long legs."

He Quan pursed his lips.This is the first time he has observed Zheng Zhiqing so closely—beads of sweat are hanging on the bridge of his straight nose, his thick eyelashes look like two fans in a blink of an eye, and his chin is shaved blue. In technical terms, he is male. The hormone secretion is more vigorous.

"Does it hurt?" Zheng Zhiqing helped him move his ankle a little, and when he saw He Quan frowning, he let it go quickly, "The swelling is not serious, it should be just a sprain, not a tendon injury."

"Why are you coming down? Why don't you find a climbing rope to pull me?" He Quan couldn't help asking this question after all.

Zheng Zhiqing blinked quickly, only looked at him for a second, then looked away. "I'm worried about leaving you here alone. I just heard from the driver that there are leopards coming along the ridge for food recently."

A cool wind blew behind He Quan.

"Then let's stop waiting here." He swallowed, and looked around subconsciously, "Find a gentle slope and climb up."

Zheng Zhiqing thought for a while, then nodded: "Alright, come on, I'll carry you on my back."

"Uh...I'm very heavy..." He Quan was inexplicably embarrassed.

Keeping the posture of kneeling on one leg, Zheng Zhiqing raised his hand to compare the height difference between the two, and smiled slightly: "I read your medical report when I was helping in the infirmary, and you are thirty catties lighter than me."

I hurt my self-esteem!He Quan glanced at Zheng Zhiqing's forearm exposed by rolling up his sleeves—blue blood vessels protruding from the skin. At first glance, the body fat rate is extremely low, and the bones are covered with muscles.

Thinking of this, He Quan sucked his stomach.I can no longer nest in the dormitory, and I have to go to exercise when my feet are better.Although his height is not good enough for basketball, he is definitely fine for playing football.

Zheng Zhiqing turned her back, raised her hand towards him and said, "Come up."

With one leg crossed, He Quan strenuously stood up and lay down on Zheng Zhiqing's back when he suddenly heard thunder rolling overhead.

"It's going to rain, so don't leave, this altitude may be struck by lightning." Zheng Zhiqing looked up at the dark clouds that had densely covered in an instant, and then squatted down to put He Quan down, "I read the newspaper a few days ago and there were reports It is said that someone climbed the Great Wall and was struck by lightning."

"The sky is struck by lightning, what a fucking thing you have done?" He Quan was stunned, and quickly pulled Zheng Zhiqing to sit beside him, "You are tall, don't stand up, it is easy to be struck by lightning."

The warmth of He Quan's palm came from his arm, Zheng Zhiqing turned his head and looked at He Quan's delicate profile, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated - this man is so good-looking.

There were a few more thunderclaps, and after a while, big raindrops fell with a crackling sound.Zheng Zhiqing dug out a large piece of plastic sheeting like the kind used for picnic mat food from the bag and put it on the heads of the two to prevent it from being drenched by the rain.The mountain wind mixed with the water was bone-chilling, and the temperature dropped sharply. He Quan shivered again, and instinctively leaned towards the heat source around him.

Zheng Zhiqing tightened her arms slightly, and held He Quan into her arms.Leaning on Zheng Zhiqing's chest, He Quan only felt a little hot on his face.

"You... your heart beats so fast." His voice was almost drowned in the rain and fog.

Zheng Zhiqing's throat rolled, and he lowered his head slowly, the tip of his nose lightly brushed He Quan's wet hair, and his hot breath fell on the other's smooth and plump forehead.He Quan bit the inside of his lips tightly, and shrank back into Zheng Zhiqing's arms.He raised his face slightly, and his long eyelashes lightly brushed the bridge of the other's nose.

Under the nourishment of the rain, the immature sprouts break out of the ground, and the tiny sparks jump between each other's breath.

Qiao Qiao was typing her doctoral dissertation on the computer when she was suddenly interrupted by a loud knock on the door.She opened the door with a stinky face, and was surprised to see He Quan standing at the door of the dormitory with red and swollen eyes.

"What's the matter?!" Pulling He Quan into the room, Qiao Qiao hurriedly pushed him onto her bed and sat down.

"Sister...I and...I and...I and Zheng Zhiqing broke up!" He Quan seemed to be made of water, tears pouring out without money, "I...I... threw him... Already!"

Qiao Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Crying so much, how dare you say that you dumped him?"

"That's right! I dumped him!" He Quan grabbed the facial tissue next to the bed and blew his nose hard. "I sent him an email, and I mentioned the breakup first, so I dumped him!"

"Don't think about the logical relationship in this kind of thing." Qiao Qiao moved the stool to the side, raised her hand and stroked the curly hair of her distant cousin, "Didn't he ask you to wait for him?"

"If he really wants to be with me, why didn't he say hello before going abroad, can't I get into an American university?" He Quan muttered in a strong nasal voice, "The graduation season and the breakup season are really true. "

"You, don't you have to be so self-respecting?" Qiao Qiao took out a few more tissues and handed them to him, "Don't cry, your eyes are swollen into peaches, and your face is still cute and ugly. My sister doesn't love you anymore."

"Can't you just say a few nice words to comfort me?" He Quan instinctively felt that he had found the wrong person.

"You've already made a decision. Is it worth it?" Qiao Qiao asked back, "Ah Quan, you and Zheng Zhiqing have been together for more than two years. As long as I know that you have broken up ten times, you really need to change your temper. Otherwise, if you fall in love with anyone in the future, there will still be no good results."

He Quan sniffled, and said harshly: "Never fall in love again!"

"Don't talk too much, be careful to slap your face in the future." Qiao Qiao said, pinching the soft flesh on her cousin's cheek. Attract butterflies."

"Oh, speaking of internships, I've been assigned to the Central Hospital." He Quan's eyes lit up.

"Aren't you going to the affiliated hospital?" Qiao Qiao opened her mouth in surprise, "The central hospital is good. The surgery there is the best in the country. If you can stay there as an intern, you will have a bright future."

"Actually... I took the place of Zheng Zhiqing." He Quan felt a throbbing pain in his chest when he mentioned the name, and another big tear fell, "I am ranked behind him in the department. Once he goes abroad, the opportunity will come soon." Give it to me."

Raising her hand to wipe away the tears on He Quan's face, Qiao Qiao nodded. "Okay, don't think about it, what do you want for dinner, sister please."

"Not hungry." He Quan frowned, "I don't have any appetite at all."

"Yo, before you broke up, you wanted to eat my living expenses for a month, what's the matter today?"

"I didn't think it was true before..." He Quan sighed, "This time it's true."

Qiao Qiao didn't know what else to say, so she reached out and stroked his hair to comfort him.She knows He Quan too well. On the surface she looks lively and easy, but in fact she has more thoughts than anyone else, and she has extraordinarily strong self-esteem.In her eyes, He Quan is like a little scallop, once he gets hurt at the slightest bit, he immediately wraps himself in the shell, and he can't pry it open no matter how hard he pries it.

Hey, this child who lost his parents since he was a child must have a strong sense of self-protection.

As He Quan's emergency contact, Qiao Qiao rushed over immediately after receiving a call from the Central Hospital.A few days ago, a doctor in the hospital where she worked was beaten by a patient's family. She was worried that He Quan had encountered the same thing.

The nurse told He Quan that He Quan was in the emergency observation room. As soon as Qiao Qiao entered, he saw He Quan's grandfather Qi Jiaxin was also there.With an ominous premonition in her heart, she cautiously called "Grandpa Qi" and hurried to the hospital bed to hold He Quan's hand.

Qi Jiaxin nodded to Qiaoqiao, and said to He Quan: "Ah Quan, you will go home after you are discharged from the hospital."

"No, I'll stay in the dormitory, which is close to the hospital." He Quan pulled the folds of the quilt almost nervously.

"After such a big incident, how long are you still stubborn!" Qi Jiaxin suddenly stopped his cane, "You also want to follow your father, who refused to go home after dying outside?!"

He Quan suddenly raised his head, and there was a tooth mark on his pale lips: "You drove him out of the house!"

Qiao Qiao quickly pressed He Quan's shoulder, pretending to blame: "Ah Quan, you are a junior, you can't talk to Grandpa Qi in this tone."

Turning his head away, He Quan stared at the pale wall and took a deep breath to hold back the tears in his eyes.Qi Jiaxin stood up, and the anger on his face subsided when he looked at Qiao Qiao: "Qiao Qiao, please persuade Ah Quan, I'll go first."

"Ah? Okay, you go slowly." Qiao Qiao sent Qi's family letter out the door, turned around and picked up the recording board beside the bed, and stared at the beginning, "Are you crazy? How dare you stand in the operating room when you are pregnant?" Standing for eleven hours?!"

"I don't know at all!" He Quan shook his head vigorously, a trace of abnormal blush rose on his pale face, "Today is the vice president's surgeon, and I'm the only one among the interns who has a chance to join the stage. I—— "

"Okay, okay, don't get excited." Qiao Qiao sat next to him and rubbed his arm vigorously, "Zheng Zhiqing's?"

He Quan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Qiao Qiao puffed her cheeks, took out her mobile phone and said, "Give me his phone number, and I have to scold him for fucking international calls!"

"It's gone, why are you still scolding him." He Quan sighed, "I blame myself. I was the one who went looking for him the night before he left the country."

"you--"

Qiao Qiao really felt that this was a short-lived rhythm.It's no wonder that Qi Jiaxin is angry, he is such a face-saving person, it's lucky that he didn't get a heart attack when he encountered such a thing.

The ancestors of the Qi family used to be imperial physicians in the palace, and passed down to Qi Jiaxin's generation still retains some ancient and magical methods.Qiaoqiao's grandmother and Qi Jiaxin are cousins, and the two families have always been in touch.Qi Jiaxin did not become a doctor but turned to business, and opened hundreds of Chinese medicine clinics across the country.Originally, he wanted his only son Qi Zheng to inherit the family business, but Qi Zheng went to engage in music and fell in love with a singer.Qi Jiaxin disagreed, and Qi Zheng would rather die than break up, so the old man kicked Qi Zheng out of the house in a fit of anger.

When He Quan was 12 years old, his parents went to perform in other places, and there was a car accident on the highway, so Qi Jiaxin took him home to raise him.Grandpa's family education is extremely strict, and He Quan's control is unbearable.When he was admitted to university, he never returned home. Even the tuition was paid by himself through work-study programs, and he never mentioned his family background to outsiders, even though there was a teaching building in the school that was donated by his grandfather.

Now that this kind of thing happened, Qiao Qiao felt that He Quan should go home and have a good rest for a while.

"You should go back and live for a few days." Qiao Qiao persuaded earnestly, "He is your grandfather after all."

"Grandpa? Do you know what he said about my father?" He Quan's eyes lit up with anger, "He said my father is a waste, an actor, and he wants to eat my father's soft food! He doesn't understand my father's personality at all , how can you say that kind of thing with empty teeth!"

Qiao Qiao hurriedly comforted her again: "Little ancestor, don't get excited, your body is important... Otherwise, you should go back to my mother's house for a few days, and you have to take care of it, otherwise it will be difficult to cure if you get sick in the future. Just tell her You had a minor operation and need to recuperate, ah, be obedient."

He Quan held Qiao Qiao's hand and said, "Sister, I've caused you trouble."

"Okay, it's not what you wanted." Qiao Qiao raised her hand to wipe away the moisture from the corner of He Quan's eyes, "Aren't you going to tell Zheng Zhiqing?"

"Since we have decided to break up, I don't want to drag things around."

"Then have you thought about it, if you don't have a flow...you either?"

He Quan was startled for a moment, then nodded after a while.

"Yes, this is my relative."
