Abnormal

Such an association suddenly recalled when the two had their first online conversation, where did the other party find him? Did they really find an m at random and start chatting?

The sm group he joined at that time was actually a group for making friends with friends, and the content of the discussion in the group was not too explicit.After joining the group, he rarely spoke except to verify that he was a man and sent a voice message.

Is it this time?It doesn't make sense.

Gao Tong almost immediately wanted to call the other party to ask about this matter clearly - when the other party added him, it was a friend request directly from the group, but at that time Gao Tong only regarded him as a friend to spread widely Net's s, I didn't think so much.After getting in touch with him a lot, I found that the other party was very restrained in speaking, and he was also gentle and calm, which he liked better.Yu gradually relaxed his vigilance, even if he asked for the address or video, he agreed.

In fact, in the more than a month from the online transfer to the meeting, depending on the personality of the other party, it is possible to shake one's own family to the bottom.It's not that Gao Tong doesn't know, but there is really nothing that can be claimed from him.

……never mind.

The 'end' he said to Mr. Bai was serious.

Facing this person, he really didn't know how to feel.Even if there was a slight amount of admiration and liking, I would feel sour in my heart, but fortunately, it has not become such a strong emotion, and I can probably forget it freely.

It's just that the other party took out such a large sum of money to advance medical expenses, and he couldn't pretend not to know.How to pay back the money is also a big problem.

Gao Tong rubbed his temples irritably, and walked back to the ward.The single ward was in good condition, with a partition, and they could see their father lying inside through the glass.Time became slow and quiet, my sister fell asleep in her mother's arms, and the hour hand in the wall clock passed by inadvertently.L.

He stared at the dial absently, feeling a little sleepy too.Just as he was about to doze off, the ringtone of the phone suddenly startled him.The phone number was unfamiliar, and Gao Tong didn't know who it was, so he connected it in a daze: "Hi, hello... Excuse me..."

There was no reply.Gao Tong yawned several times and was so sleepy that he almost shed tears, but the place was still very quiet.

Just as he was about to put down the phone, he suddenly heard a deeply familiar voice——

"...Gao Tong."

"you……"

The voice stood out too much in the deep, dead silence, both on the phone and the other end.Gao Tong's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he felt like his heart was going to be pulled.

"I'm sorry about your father."

Gao Tong didn't know what to say, rationally told him to hang up the phone quickly, but subconsciously wanted to hear a few more words from this person, everything was fine.In the current situation, he didn't know who to turn to for help, and the only person he could confide in had to stay away. It was too sad.

"I know you are very sad. I have a great responsibility in this matter. If you end the training earlier, maybe you won't miss the news notification, and you can go back in time."

Gao Tong held the phone in a daze, even the courage to put down the phone disappeared, and the corners of his eyes were sore.The words of the other party's apology were impeccable, and he couldn't even utter a word of reproach.

There was a pause over there, and continued: "But things have already happened, so it's useless to talk about them. I will do my best to help you solve the problem of medical equipment and expenses. If you want to transfer to another hospital, you can also arrange it. Fortunately, uncle still There is a chance, as long as you survive the dangerous period, there will be no major problems, you believe me."

Gao Tong tried hard to speak a few times, but in the end he gave up as if powerless.

"Why is this so……"

Bai Xiuwen listened quietly to the movement on the other end of the phone, clutching a contract paper of unknown origin in his hand, and could faintly see traces of sweat stains.

"... So, calm down. Don't say anything to end this waywardness."

"How to calm down?" Gao Tong was silent for a few seconds, glanced sideways at his sleeping sister, and walked out of the ward.Leaning on the cold handrail in the corridor, he said slowly: "...Mr. Bai, I have a question that I've always wanted to ask you. Maybe I've mentioned it before, but somehow it was transferred to other things and I slowly ignored it. But now I can no longer deceive myself, this time, I hope... I hope you can give me a real answer. "

There was silence over there, and said: "You tell me."

"why me?"

"This question is not easy to answer." In just a moment, the other party's faint voice came from the opposite side: "Because it was you who found it in the first place."

"...I don't quite understand." Gao Tong changed his hand to hold the phone, and that hand was covered with sweat, "I mean, why did you choose me out of so many people?"

His words had some hidden meaning, and the other party must understand what he was asking.

It depends on how you answer.Gao Tong bit the tip of his tongue lightly, somehow feeling a subtle bitterness.He sometimes felt that his anxious and inexplicable emotions were like a girl's when facing this person.

I also questioned my heart, whether I like it, and then decisively denied it-it shouldn't be like this, like it shouldn't be like this.

After waiting for a while, I heard a sentence: "This is a matter of probability."

Gao Tong was taken aback for a moment, and quickly reacted: "...Ah, is that so."

"But you were not chosen, we chose each other. If you disagreed at that time, then..."

"—Could it be someone else?"

The other party seemed quite surprised that he would say this: "Then I might go to bed that day."

"..."

"Okay, this kind of assumption is meaningless, and time can't be turned back." His voice was a little helpless: "Have you taken a break since you came home?"

Gao Tong was left speechless, and frowned, "I mean..."

"I mean, have we ever crossed paths before, crossed paths or something. Have we met somewhere?"

He organized his words chaotically, and now he finally spoke.Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath, clutching the phone and waiting for a reply.

Rarely, he felt the silence of the other party.During the call within a few seconds, both parties remained silent.

Is it so difficult to answer?Gao Tong couldn't help asking himself.He rubbed his trousers with his hands, and finally couldn't stand the embarrassment, and said, "Forget it...forget it, I'll hang up first."

"—Wait." The result was that he was quickly stopped: "Gao Tong, why do you have such an idea? Is it because you don't know what I look like during the training process, so you have such doubts?"

Gao Tong nodded hesitantly, and hummed lightly.

Although this is the case, it is not only that.He always felt that the process from the beginning of his acquaintance to the present was too natural, a little subtle and abnormal.But if you want to elaborate on what is wrong, there is no reason why.

"I will go to you within half a month at the latest. At that time, I will answer all the questions you want to know and talk about. Can this dispel your worries?"

Gao Tong moved the phone away from his ear and pressed the mute button.He quietly looked at the phone number on the screen, but the other party didn't make a sound after asking a question.He took a deep breath.

Mr. Bai's tone is always so sure, as if the victory is in his hands.On the contrary, I have been trembling, hesitating and hesitating repeatedly, which is too stupid.Why?

"What kind of person are you?" Gao Tong finally turned on his voice and said in a low voice, "Why do I feel that the person chatting and calling me online doesn't look like you in real life?"

Bai Xiuwen on the other end of the phone moved his fingers, but rubbed his temples, and didn't answer anything.

What kind of person do you want me to be?

There has been no substantial change in Bai Xiuwen's personality since he was young, and the past few years have only made him more mature and stable.Gao Tong never took a second look at him back then, and he certainly doesn't have any thoughts about him now.

He intentionally avoided the topic, and only said: "Think about what you just said."

"I don't want to think about it anymore. What I said before is serious." Gao Tong looked down and said word by word: "I don't have the energy to do that kind of thing, and we are not particularly suitable. You have such a condition Excellent, will definitely find a better m."

"You spent so much money for my father's illness, and you even hired a doctor to take care of it, and you were upgraded to a ward...I really feel grateful for these things, and I can't repay them. But I have nothing else, and the money is slow. Pay it back slowly, I'll give you the IOU, okay, okay?"

The lower edge of Bai Xiuwen's eyelids twitched slightly, and he gave a low hum.

Gao Tong never thought that the other party would agree so much.It seemed that the protracted war that had been prepared turned into a blitzkrieg, and the opponent was still the kind who quickly surrendered, but he himself was a little... how to put it, Wei Wei was at a loss.

"Then, how can I give you the IOU?... Can I go through Deng Lixin? It seems that I need a copy of the ID card and fingerprints?"

"IOUs generally do not have legal effect. But you and I know each other, so you don't have to worry about it." Bai Xiuwen said coldly: "You add my friend back, and I will send you the information you need one by one. And It is always necessary for both parties to be present to create written evidence, so don’t try to avoid that.”

"... That's true. Then, let's make an appointment at some restaurant when you are free. Just in time, I can also treat you to a meal..."

"Don't bother you." Bai Xiuwen crossed his legs, then got up and put the phone on the table, and said to the speaker: "I will notify you when the time comes, and you don't have to worry, after all, it's nothing to me money."

Gao Tong was dazed for a moment by the sudden change in the other party's attitude, nodded in a daze, then remembered that the other party couldn't see, and said yes.

The two didn't say anything, and when they were about to put down the phone, Gao Tong suddenly heard the other party chuckle and said, "I paid 20 yuan to the hospital in advance for your father's illness. Do you know how much the hotel where you stayed at that time cost a night?" ?"

Gao Tong said: "...I'm not sure, one, one or twenty thousand?"

"It's more than 8 yuan. Of course, it's a bit discounted if you live for a long time. It costs an imported stent in one night. Do you think it's interesting?"

Gao Tong was stunned for a moment, and then the other party said that he had to be busy and contacted again, and then hung up the phone.

... what does he mean?

When he returned to the ward, Gao Tong sat down silently, put his hands on his eyes, and bowed his head in silence.But he was woken up suddenly, and when he looked up, his mother looked at him and asked him what was going on.

"It's nothing, a friend." Gao Tong said.

"Tong, I think your dark circles are too deep, why don't you take your luggage home first, and catch up on sleep first. Mom is watching here, it's okay."

Gao Tong said no, but was forced out by his mother.If you can't, you have to go home.It was already noon when we left the gate of the hospital, and the sun was so bright that the light reflected several times on the ice on the ground, which was very dazzling.

The county hospital is not close to home. He took a few bus stops and walked for half an hour to get home.The soil is mixed with crushed ice, and when you step on it, the sound is like crushing a handful of ice balls, which is very familiar.
