Please follow the doctor's advice

one year later.

Xu Yiren stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, applied shaving foam to his chin, washed his hands again, and prepared to instill eye drops.

It's not that he doesn't do things out of order, but the few minutes after the eyedrops are instilled is his best vision of the day. He puts all the things that require the use of eyes to do in these few minutes, and of course he can save money.

He habitually used the six-step hand washing method for a full minute, then used his index finger to pull open the lower eyelid, and dripped the medicine into it.

In the past six months, his world has gradually changed from pitch black to light again, and then he can see the movement of larger objects vaguely, and now he can basically see the outline of the object.

Although no matter how far or near it is, it is like a layer of frosted glass, making it hard to see and not very clear, but it is enough to cope with simple daily life.

Xu Yiren closed his eyes and raised his head, gently pressing his fingers on the lacrimal sac in the corner of his eyes.

Sherrill's doctor's advice is to raise his head and close his eyes for 5 minutes after dripping the medicine every day. After he tried it, he felt that the medicine was almost absorbed in 2 minutes. If he really waited to close his eyes for 5 minutes before opening his eyes, his vision would be the same as usual.

People who haven't seen something clearly for too long really want to taste the sweetness, even if it's just for a second.What's more, the remaining "sub-clear" time can be used for other things.

But this matter cannot be discussed with Cheryl, and can only be done secretly by himself—just like the family members of a patient who has had a pacemaker installed come to ask him if he can turn over. To be safe, he will definitely say to lie on his back and not move for three days.

So...it is said that "only a great hero can show his true colors", Xu Yiren asked himself that he was just a mortal, and he should control his image within the aesthetic range acceptable to the public. This is the most basic courtesy in getting along with others, and... and Li Chaoyue is only one ward away, maybe when will we meet?

The task he set for himself today is to see if the pigmentation of the skin around his eyes has improved, and then take advantage of the "sub-clear" time to move his hands and shave his beard neatly.

Estimated that it would be about 2 minutes, Xu Yiren solemnly opened his eyes, and looked at the person in the mirror with the clearest vision at that moment.

He doesn't quite remember what he was like before, and now it seems... he should be okay, right?

Before he could see clearly, his vision began to blur again.The level of clarity was between that of just opening his eyes and that of everyday vision, and it was no problem to shave. Xu Yiren picked up the manual razor on the table.

"Brother Xu, are you awake?" The door was opened without knocking, and the person who came was talking to himself, "Yeah? Where's the person?"

...I really want to come here.

Xu Yiren replied casually, "Going to the toilet."

The door of the bathroom was unscrewed immediately with a "click": "Hey, shave, can you see clearly? Why don't you use an electric one?"

As his body recovers, Xu Yiren actually has a little unwillingness to give up. Although his current vision is far from being able to return to the clinical level, people can restrain their behavior, but they cannot restrain the desire in their hearts. Selfishly want to exercise the strength of fingers and wrists a little bit, what if one day...he is really as good as before?

"..." Xu Yiren's chin was full of foam, and he didn't put down the knife, and he didn't even shave in front of him—he couldn't see clearly now, so it was inevitable that his movements were indecent, and Li Chaoyue was standing beside him staring at him Look, how does this make him do it?

He protested: "Didn't I say I went to the bathroom, what door did you open?"

Li Chaoyue was confident: "Then you didn't lock the door?"

Xu Yiren held the knife in embarrassment: "I still lock the door when I go to the bathroom in my own house?"

"Okay, okay, you're right." Li Chao shrugged generously, "Then I won't come in when you lock the door next time, okay?"

Xu Yiren: "..."

Li Chaoyue turned and went out: "Slow down, I'll wait for you outside."

Xu Yiren heaved a sigh of relief, and then looked up in the mirror, but as expected, he couldn't see clearly again, so he had to wipe off the foam with a towel, and succumbed to the electric shaver.

——I didn't practice well, but I got a good look at Li Chaoyue, and Xu Yiren didn't figure out whether he was losing or not until he finished shaving and washed his face.

Li Chaoyue: "Come on, let me see the marker."

"Okay." Xu Yiren lay on the bed, unbuttoned four buttons all the way down from the neckline, and unbuttoned the inner pajamas.

The probe of the marker is responsible for the functions of marking and detection. At first it was connected to the monitor outside the body, but after several changes, the connecting wire was removed when he was able to walk independently, and the tiny wound on his abdomen healed quickly. , the display is fixed at the heart position, responsible for detecting the four major signs and reflecting the detection status of the detector.

Xu Yiren has become less and less sure which one is the main one and which one is the second one. Li Chaoyue rolled up his sleeves and was ready to explain it to him, but he knew that it must be a long-winded speech. Anyway, it was done, and he didn't feel any discomfort , simply let Li Chaoyue save his tongue.

"Hmm..." Li Chaoyue bent over to check while humming a song, recorded the data with a pen from time to time, and complained, "Tell me about these people, now the data is collected automatically by the Internet outside. , all the indexes are automatically sent to the host with a 'swoosh', and the report comes out by itself, who is still copying each number with his eyes all day long, causing you to show your breasts... oh, it's just showing your breasts, which makes you cold It’s been so long, alas!”

Xu Yiren: "...concentrate on your work."

"Yeah, I know." Li Chaoyue agreed, but his efficiency still didn't improve, at least twice as slow as Elvis, and he even touched the edge of his clothes with a pen, "Oh, you haven't practiced well recently. , Isn’t this the pectoral muscle line? What time is it your turn to use the gym today? I’ll come and play with you when I’m free.”

"...From 04:30 to [-]:[-], it's the busiest time for you." Xu Yiren felt his hairs stand on end when the cold object passed by just now, and couldn't help asking, " Did you scratch me with the tip of your pen just now?"

"Can I be that bad? Of course it's the cap of the pen! Look, this is the tip of the pen." As he spoke, Li Chaozhen made a stroke with the tip of the pen.

Xu Yiren: "..."

"Brother Xu, don't worry, it will be over soon." Li Chaoyue thoughtfully "pacified" the patient's emotions, and worked hard for more than a minute, finally he was done, and praised, "Yes, the values ​​are all within the normal range, very good , keep exercising and listen to the coach."

Xu Yiren got up and buttoned his shirt: "Why don't you let Elvis see? You have other things to do, so don't delay your work."

"There is something I want to tell you today." Li Chaoyue closed the clip and said seriously, "The patient treatment plan for this period is almost over, and the company has decided to open a repatriation next month. Based on the principle of voluntariness, I want to stay and continue It’s okay to observe and cooperate with research and development, and it’s okay to go back after the course of treatment is over, but you have to fulfill your obligations on time, feed back real data, and go to a designated institution for physical examination. You have been out for more than a year, do you consider going back this time?”

Xu Yiren hesitated for a moment, adjusted his clothes and said leisurely: "Don't go, my eyes are still not healed."

"Why?" Li Chaoyue was quite surprised, "Your treatment plan has been completed, and all indicators have been stable for more than three months. After returning to Shencheng, the company will also provide follow-up physical examination and rehabilitation guidance. Just pay attention to observation and wait for your body to recover slowly. And, don't you want to go back and see Professor Xu and his wife?"

……think.Why don't you want to?Who is not a body of flesh and blood, who can not think of home or their parents who have grown up at home when they are wandering outside?

But even though his body is a thousand times better now than when he came here, he still doesn't know how to go back and face his parents, especially his father.

Ever since Xu Yiren could remember, Xu Changping has been very busy at work.When he was in elementary school, Xu Changping had just started working as a teacher at Shenyang Medical University. He not only had to prepare his own courseware every day, but also helped other professors with high professional titles to deal with a lot of trivial matters. There was very little time for Xu Yiren.

Although the mother takes good care of him, the role of "father" is irreplaceable in the child's mind.

Once, Xu Yiren happily came back from the exam with a small schoolbag on his back, and waited for Xu Changping to go home with the test paper, and hurriedly handed it in while he was eating, expecting his father to smile approvingly.

After all, Xu Changping is a teacher in a college, and at first glance, he found the only red cross on the whole paper to be eye-catching. He pointed at it seriously and said, "Can this be wrong? What do you think?"

Then I chatted with Xu Yiren's mother about a child in a certain teacher's family in their office, who takes a hundred math tests every time, and is an outstanding student every year. If this continues, it will not be a problem to go to any university in the future.

Little Xu Yiren looked at the wrong place countless times in frustration, and secretly made up his mind that he would never fall down in the same place twice again.

After the next exam, he returned home excitedly with the "Double Hundred" test paper in his hand, but all he got was Xu Changping's words: "It's such a simple question, it would be strange if you didn't take a hundred. Xu Yiren, look at your word." , like crawling with claws. Your sister upstairs just participated in a calligraphy competition, and the calligraphy she wrote is the same as that of Wang Xizhi. After you eat, go and see how she practices."

Little Xu Yiren was wilted again, and after eating without taste, she was led by her mother to her elder sister's house upstairs, where she stood at the table and quietly watched him write calligraphy all night.

When Xu Yiren climbed out of the pen copybook and brush copybook, and the words he wrote were finally comparable to the printed ones, he also put on his glasses and ushered in the graduation from primary school.

On the day when the graduation photo was taken, he looked clearly and sadly through the lens at Xu Changping who came to pick him up, chatting happily with an aunt at the school gate, and when he got closer, he heard that it was the daughter of the aunt's family who was in the same year as Xu Yiren. At the age of [-], she was practicing dancing and had just won the National Ballet Trophy.

Then, the aunt asked again: "What are the specialties of your precious son?"

The girl beside her made graceful gestures of tiptoeing and stretching her arms from time to time, like a little swan that could fly away from gravity at any time.

Xu Changping looked down at Xu Yiren who was standing blankly like a penguin, and sighed imperceptibly.

Xu Yiren suddenly hated herself for not learning some ballet and Latin belly dance earlier.

Later, some of Xu Yiren’s family compound and colleagues from Xu Changping’s school had children who passed tenth grade in piano and guzheng, and performed on stage;

Xu Changping had another opinion: "So many people are not nearsighted, how come you are nearsighted?"

...Xu Yiren gradually grew up and gradually understood that it is impossible for him to compare with the strengths of all "other people's children" by himself, and it is impossible for anyone to gather the strengths and knowledge of all people in one body. He has no need So be humble and do your best.

Until he met Li Chaoyue.

The feeling that others are dashing and splashing ink, and he can only watch from the side has returned.

This is really an outlier.

When he was in college, Li Chaoyue was already outstanding in Bowen Qiangji, making people not even jealous, but only admiring and envious.Today, he is even more unstoppable. Biology, chemistry, medicine, pharmacy, everything that has nothing to do with his major can be said clearly.

Xu Yiren occasionally heard him discussing with Sherrill and a few others, and the others all responded with "um, um" as if they were listening to a class.

He couldn't see their expressions clearly, and sometimes he felt proud when he thought about it, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl upwards, laughing for a while, then worried that Li Chaoyue was too young and energetic, maybe he was just being modest and polite.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but suspect that he put the center of the world on Li Chaoyue, so everyone else looked like a supporting role.

All in all, it's not that Xu Yiren doesn't miss his parents and doesn't want to go home, it's just that what Xu Changping wants to see is an omnipotent son like Li Chaoyue, right?

Without changing his expression, he pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Isn't there a video that is sent back every month? My parents can see that I am much better as long as they see it."

I have to say, staying here is the best choice.As long as he goes back, even if he lives alone in the apartment and hires a caretaker, his parents will inevitably worry about him.

Just let him be an ostrich.

Li Chaoyue sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, respect personal wishes. Brother Xu, then take good care of yourself here in the future."

...Why does it sound like he is the only one left here?

Xu Yiren: "What do you mean?"
