And 15 minutes ago, in the spacious living room separated by a wall.

Lin Xuxue and Zhou Wenting sat face to face on the double sofa, the distance between their lips was very close, as if they had just kissed.

Lin Xuxue opened her eyes slightly, frowned slightly, and whispered in a hesitant tone: "Wen Ting..."

Zhou Wenting withdrew her hand holding Lin Xuxue's cheek in a little panic, then raised her hand in embarrassment to shave her delicate eyebrows with her little finger.

During the whole process, Zhou Wenting and Lin Xuxue still kept their eyes on each other. Unfortunately, she could no longer see the excitement and joy in Lin Xuxue's beautiful peach blossom eyes like she did ten years ago.

Now Lin Xuxue only had doubts and troubles in her eyes.

The smile on Zhou Wenting's face gradually became a bit bitter. The fact before her eyes was that she and Lin Xuxue might really have missed it.

What's worse, because of the years of thoughts left in my heart, it is likely to bring endless troubles to Lin Xuxue.

Zhou Wenting tried her best to suppress the bitterness in her heart, and said to Lin Xuxue in a low voice: "You really fell in love with Jiahui, and then resisted my kiss. I'm sorry, Xuxue, I was the one who was rude this time."

At this moment, she was in a state of confusion, Lin Xuxue turned her face away a little bit, with many questions in her heart, she pursed her lips vigorously, but in the end she still didn't make a sound.

In order to conceal the surging emotions in her heart, Lin Xuxue began to sort out all the medical information about Li Xinyu on the coffee table.

Today Zhou Wenting came here specially to discuss with Lin Xuxue the possibility of performing surgery for Li Xinyu.

After all, I was a good student Zhou Wenting taught carefully back then. Both of them held similar views on Li Xinyu's physical condition, and wanted to find someone to discuss whether the solution of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest was feasible.

This surgical method adopts the technology of medical hypothermia. During the process, the patient's body will be cooled to between 25 and [-] degrees Celsius. In this way, the blood circulation and brain function of the human body will be suspended for up to an hour. A form of death in which the heartbeat and brain activity are stopped, giving doctors the chance to save the patient's life.

To put it simply, this is like what is often seen in science fiction movies. After the human body enters a frozen state at a low temperature, it can still be alive and well when it is thawed again.

There is a major premise for using this surgical method, that is, the patient's heart can be reactivated in time, and the blood can provide enough supplies for the brain in a few minutes when the body returns to normal body temperature, so as to avoid permanent brain damage.

Lin Xuxue didn't know how the two of them were discussing and they suddenly kissed each other.

The materials in his hands became more and more chaotic the more they were sorted out, just like Lin Xuxue's current mood.

Lin Xuxue's hands trembled even more because of the intense emotion.

As Lin Xuxue's teacher, Zhou Wenting has spent many years with her young cat girl day and night, and knows her temper very well.

Zhou Wenting knew that Lin Xuxue, who was trying to hide her emotions, desperately needed a reasonable explanation at this moment.

If he only said the four words "can't help it" as an explanation, it is obviously not enough to convince Lin Xuxue.

Zhou Wenting couldn't help laughing bitterly in her heart.

I tried my best not to see Lin Xuxue for more than ten years, only dared to look at her a few times from a distance, participated in her graduation ceremony in a way I had never met before, and watched her carry her luggage and siblings to study abroad together from a distance. In the corner of the venue, she quietly participated in her first public speech on medical research results in the United States...

All these efforts, as well as those deep-seated longings and affections, simply can't hold up the close relationship in the past two days.

After a small gap was knocked out of the heart, all emotions gushed out.

So Zhou Wenting really couldn't help it just now.

Now, the taste in my heart is even more mixed.

When Lin Xuxue was indifferent to her initiative to offer a kiss, Zhou Wenting finally realized that she had found the right time to tell her the truth that had been hidden in her heart for many years.

However, Zhou Wenting didn't know why after more than ten years of hard work, when she finally got the result she wanted to see back then, not only could she not be happy, but her chest felt tight and painful as if someone had stretched out her hand to pinch her heart. Very powerful.

Because of this so-called truth, it was like a slow delay for Zhou Wenting.

After all, I have always harbored this secret, and under the pretext of being good for Lin Xuxue, I have been alone in the dark for more than ten years.

"Yesterday you asked me a lot of questions, and today I want to give you some answers."

This statement successfully moved Lin Xuxue, who was very angry because he could not wait for the answer, so his expression gradually became indifferent.

Hearing this, Lin Xuxue turned her face again, frowned and looked at Zhou Wenting.

This is an excellent woman whom she has shown her most sincere heart and loved deeply with all her heart.

Zhou Wenting tried hard to put away the rushing emotions in her heart, straightened her face, her expression was serious and serious: "I have only endless admiration for my senior sister in my life, you are definitely not anyone's substitute, when Dr. Chen came to me , that's what I told her."

A look of disbelief gradually appeared on Lin Xuxue's face.

Just when Lin Xuxue thought that she had been deceived by her mother Chen Kaixuan, Zhou Wenting showed a very melancholy expression and said in a low voice, "Don't get me wrong, I asked Dr. Chen to tell you that, deliberately making you misunderstand me. Your mother is still in love."

Lin Xuxue blurted out subconsciously, "Why?!"

This person with a particularly good temper and a gentle temper rarely tinged with great anger in his tone, with the grief and anger of being fooled.

Especially these adults who claim to be mature, those who always said that she was still a child, are all the closest and most trusted people around her.

Zhou Wenting recalled the scene back then, and everything was still vivid.

Zhou Wenting is not a person with a particularly high emotional intelligence. At the beginning, Lin Xuxue liked to stay by her side, and accompanied her to conduct experiments in the laboratory. She thought it was Lin Xuxue's work on thoracic surgery and her own hands. I am very interested in her experimental project, so I am willing to accompany her in the hospital every day.

When Lin Xuxue faces the person she likes, she doesn't have a lot of flirtatiousness. What she has is caring and companionship. She holds the person she likes in her palm and spoils her like a queen who doesn't even need to lift her hands when eating.

This kind of plain and harmonious way of getting along with old wives makes Zhou Wenting, who is already old and divorced, and thinks that she can no longer cope with the passionate emotions of young people, is very moved.

Whenever the two of them are alone, when they look at each other, they look deeply into Lin Xuxue's beautiful peach eyes, and even Zhou Wenting, who thinks she is not careful enough, can feel the heat and affection in those eyes.

This made Zhou Wenting know clearly that she was afraid that this was just unrequited love, old trees blooming, and other various worries, all of which were mediocre.

When they are together, everything is so natural and natural.

Zhou Wenting waited patiently until the day when Lin Xuxue became an adult, she successfully waited for the little guy's official confession, and finally got together with the little guy justifiably.

Since then, all the strong emotions that Lin Xuxue had buried deep in her heart for many years in the past finally gradually emerged.

No matter how mature Lin Xuxue was at that time, she was nothing more than that.

The "adult/gift" that came in the opposite direction was out of control. Zhou Wenting, who was supposed to be a wolf like a tiger, was made by the cat girl for several days in a row, making it difficult for her to even stand up for surgery.

In the next few months, Lin Xuxue, who had just tasted the wonderful taste and was particularly enthusiastic about it, got entangled tightly as soon as she seized the opportunity.

Of course, there is Zhou Wenting's infinite love for Lin Xuxue, and Lin Xuxue is really a doctor, and the various skills in her hands are really amazing.

And after the sweet period of passionate love passes, it will be a very difficult period of running-in.

The nearly 40-year age difference between the two is sometimes the best natural mediator in the relationship, and sometimes it is the most irreconcilable contradiction.

At that time, Lin Xuxue was just in the first year of university. Because the University of Singapore stipulated that each student could only take up to six courses in a semester to encourage students to devote their spare time to improving their soft power, their learning ability was amazing. Lin Xuxue, who has finished reading the textbooks, going to university is like playing.

When I need to attend class, after three or four hours of class a day, I will come to Zhou Wenting's office or laboratory to find her the rest of the time.

On those days when no courses were scheduled, Lin Xuxue came to the laboratory to report early in the morning.

Zhou Wenting is not a good person who treats others coldly. When Lin Xuxue deliberately took time to accompany her, she felt that she had an obligation to accompany her girlfriend seriously and attentively, even if it was just a drink in the laboratory that cost RMB [-] Regular coffee is fine.

Of course, Lin Xuxue also knew that Zhou Wenting was very busy at work, and she was already very satisfied to have such a rare time together.

Unfortunately, because Lin Xuxue often missed Zhou Wenting very much, she unconsciously kept going to the hospital to find her.

When these interactions became more frequent, Director Zhou Wenting, who had long working hours and heavy tasks, was unable to complete the goals she set on schedule.

After realizing this, although Zhou Wenting tried her best to express her thoughts in a gentle tone, after all, she had never experienced any cruel experience in society, and the young and immature Lin Xuxue couldn't understand the involuntary work. After all, I decided in my heart that the teacher thought she was too sticky, so he found an excuse to "remind" her.

Since the teacher was annoyed by her, Lin Xuxue had no choice but to resist the urge to go to the hospital to see her, and forced herself to stay at home to read and study, and reduced the weekly meeting time between the two to only when Zhou Wenting was on vacation. meet up.

Looking at Lin Xuxue's grievances, Zhou Wenting certainly felt extremely guilty in her heart, but she really couldn't let go of the life-threatening work at hand, and in the end there was nothing she could do.

This made Zhou Wenting couldn't help assuming in her heart that if the person Lin Xuxue dated was as young as she was, the two of them could go to the library together during class or exams, hang out together after class and during long vacations, or even go abroad travel.

And not like myself, because as the head of the thoracic department, she would often receive urgent summons from department doctors to rush back to the hospital for rescue. Many times when the two finally found time to have dinner together, they would end up leaving Lin Xuxue in vain. Sitting alone in the dining room, I finished a meal in silence.

Zhou Wenting felt so guilty about this that she couldn't help herself.

In addition, in the process of adjusting their pace to get along with each other, the two inevitably felt that they had been wronged in their hearts, and then fell into several small cold wars.

The Cold War was occasionally accompanied by quarrels, and after each quarrel, some cracks were left in the hearts of both parties.

The core of the quarrel is that Zhou Wenting has scruples about the psychological acceptance of Lin Xuxue's two mothers, and feels that they should choose to disclose to the closest people around them when their relationship is more stable.

To be honest, Lin Xuxue herself was not sure about the opinions of the mothers, and she was also very aware of Chen Kaixuan's mother's strong temperament, so she decided to listen to Zhou Wenting's opinion when she was very hesitant.

Until Chen Kaixuan's mother recruited Lin Xuxue into the study, she told her with a sad expression that her beloved Zhou Wenting actually admired Lin Sijing's mother for most of her life, and the reason why Zhou Wenting chose to be with her was mainly because of her looks Both his personality and temperament are very similar to Lin Sijing.

Lin Xuxue will always remember that she tried her best to pretend to be a calm adult, not allowing herself to be threatened by tears, and asked Zhou Wenting in a low voice with a trembling voice, whether she was just a stand-in.

What Zhou Wenting gave her was silence filled with tears, and it was such a passive response that confirmed all the thoughts in Lin Xuxue's heart.

Then...

For Lin Xuxue, the story of the two of them came to an abrupt end.

Lin Xuxue put away the broken wings of love, and since then walked alone on the long road of life.

For Zhou Wenting, it was not.

Thinking of all the past, tears welled up in her eyes, but Zhou Wenting tried her best not to let them fall.

Lin Xuxue was the one who was deceived so much back then, while Zhou Wenting thought she had absolutely no right to cry.

"Because I feel uncertain about our future. You were so young at the time, but I was almost 40 years older than you. I know you don't mind at all, but age is an invisible hurdle for me after all. When your mother persuaded me that I was the one who would walk ahead of you, I think she was right. I didn’t want you, the infatuated, to spend the rest of your life alone after I died... "

Although the problems between the two of them were not limited to this, this was indeed what Zhou Wenting was most worried about.

After hearing this, Lin Xuxue couldn't help but protested fiercely: "Just for this reason?"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Wenting laughed, and the smile was full of sarcasm: "I'm stupid..."

That was a mockery of myself.

To this day, whenever Zhou Wenting looks back at the past ten years, she feels distressed beyond her control.

Instead of worrying about whether Lin Xuxue would live alone, I should have happily spent the particularly beautiful ten years with Lin Xuxue.

Maybe they'll even have kids of their own, a happy little family of their own.

And all this was ruined by her lack of self-confidence, Zhou Wenting knew that it had nothing to do with other people.

Tears still fell after all, Zhou Wenting quickly wiped them off with her hand, trying to raise a smiling face: "I was really stupid at the time... But after more than ten years, I am still alive and well, and so are you. Okay, the only difference is that we are no longer in love, and you have found a good girl of similar age as I expected, and talked about sweet love..."

Endless pain appeared in Lin Xuxue's eyes, and she stretched out her hand to hold Zhou Wenting tightly in her arms.

If everything is as the teacher said, how much Lin Xuxue has suffered in the past ten years, Zhou Wenting will only suffer more than her.

After all, when they fell in love back then, Lin Xuxue was only at a very silly and innocent age.

Looking back now, I have always claimed to be smart, and I was really young and ignorant. In many cases, my mind was not only immature, but even a little naive, and it was especially easy to be controlled by the so-called "facts" on the surface.

It's as if I easily believed the words that Mommy and Zhou Wenting teamed up to lie to her.

Then with the already distorted gaze, he deliberately misinterpreted the details between himself and Zhou Wenting, and even began to believe that he was just a substitute.

Because I believe in the "truth" constructed by my ignorant self in my heart, I can no longer believe that Zhou Wenting once loved her sincerely, and I have never thought about it carefully. Zhou Wenting may be insincere.

As the older one, and the one who took the initiative to misunderstand her lover, Zhou Wenting had to bear more silently, even though some of them were not her fault.

Now that things have happened, Zhou Wenting is the same as she had to face Lin Xuxue's blame and resentment alone back then. She still wants to take all the responsibility on herself and give Lin Xuxue a relief of "innocence and lightness".

Lin Xuxue felt sorry for Zhou Wenting even more when she understood many things that she thought were unsolvable in an instant, and whispered in her ear: "I'm sorry, Wenting, I'm sorry..."

Under Lin Xuxue's comfort, Zhou Wenting huddled in that warm embrace, with the scent she was most obsessed with in her life lingering on the tip of her nose, and cried hard.

After a while, Zhou Wenting finally sorted out her emotions a little bit. While holding Lin Xuxue and handing over a tissue to gently wipe away her tears, she tried to show a free and easy look so as not to worry Lin Xuxue: "It's not your fault, I left after all. Treasure."

Zhou Wenting stretched out her palms and rubbed her face vigorously, forcing herself to smile, and said softly: "You and Jiahui are very suitable, I, an old aunt, also know something about her and Xiao Xuyan, if you I really fell in love with her, I hope you can give her a little more patience and confidence, I believe that under your company and love, she will be able to put aside the past and be with you well."

Zhou Wenting is such a forbearing person, even though she feels pain in her heart at this moment, she still sincerely hopes that the person she loves can live happily.

Even if the person who brings happiness to the other party is not Zhou Wenting herself.

Lin Xuxue looked at Zhou Wenting with an incomprehensible look in her eyes.

Lin Xuxue couldn't understand why she misunderstood such a good person for so many years.

In order to make the atmosphere more relaxed, Zhou Wenting said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "If Jiahui still doesn't know what to do, I welcome you to turn around at any time."

This "joke" made Lin Xuxue scratch her head in embarrassment, and then covered her eyes with her hands, as if imitating Zhou Wenting, a Cantonese who often said "no eyes to see".

It's meant to cover up under-eye circles that have gradually turned red, though.

Before Lin Xuxue could calm down and say something, at this moment, someone reached out and rang the doorbell of the house.

Lin Xuxue turned her head and glanced at the door with doubts in her eyes. People who can ask her to unlock the door at the bottom of the building without going through the walkie-talkie still need to ring the doorbell?

After a heart-wrenching confession, Zhou Wenting also felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.

But before leaving, she wanted to go to the bathroom to clean up her appearance, so as not to be laughed at by Lin Xuxue's guests.

When Lin Xuxue got up from the sofa to open the door, Zhou Wenting asked softly, "Can I borrow the bathroom?"

Lin Xuxue pointed to the bathroom used by the guests, and then gestured for Zhou Wenting to open the door to see who was looking for her.

After Lin Xuxue took a look through the camera at the door, she was a little surprised to find that Li Jiahui came to the door in person today.

Since Li Jiahui, who was extremely arrogant, was willing to put down his face and come to the door in person, Lin Xuxue, who has a good temper, naturally would not make things difficult for others.

Soon there was the sound of the door being unlocked, and Lin Xuxue, who was wearing casual home clothes, opened the door and appeared in front of Li Jiahui.

Seeing that Lin Xuxue was willing to open the door, Li Jiahui immediately showed a very happy smile, very excitedly pushed the rose in front of him forward, and just said two words: "Xuxue..."

Li Jiahui stopped.

The cheerful expression on the beautiful face, from obvious tension and excitement, gradually becomes calm, and finally tends to be numb.

And he refused to say a word, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Xuxue's lips, and his delicate brows were tightly knit together, as if seeing something that made her very angry.

Regarding Li Jiahui's moody appearance again, Lin Xuxue was really a little tired because of his moody temper, and deeply felt that he could not serve her at all.

However, seeing that Li Jiahui came to the door in person, Lin Xuxue did not show any obvious displeasure, but frowned with a puzzled expression, and asked tentatively, "Is there anything you can do with me?"

Li Jiahui still stood at the door of Lin Xuxue's apartment like a statue, keeping a silent posture, but the sharp eyes looked a little scary.

Lin Xuxue couldn't help but subconsciously reached out and touched her smooth lips, and under her action, some of the lipstick that Zhou Wenting accidentally left on the corner of her mouth just now gradually faded away.

But Lin Xuxue didn't notice it at all.

It was too late, but soon, Zhou Wenting, who borrowed the bathroom to touch up her makeup, reappeared in the spacious living room.

After hearing the sound of walking in slippers behind her, Lin Xuxue turned around quickly and looked at Zhou Wenting who picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and put it in her bag, as if preparing to leave the place of right and wrong.

Through the movement of Lin Xuxue turning around, Li Jiahui also saw the people standing in the house through the gap she left.

What Li Jiahui saw more clearly was that Zhou Wenting's freshly applied lip makeup was exactly the same color as the bright red stain on Lin Xuxue's lips.

Li Jiahui suddenly felt as if Lin Xuxue was holding a large number of embroidery needles in his eyes and piercing them hard at the same time, giving off a severe tingling sensation.

And the hand holding the bouquet of gorgeous red roses was as heavy as lead, and slowly lowered.

The little heart also fell into an endless place.

People close to her all said that Lin Xuxue liked Li Jiahui. At this moment, Li Jiahui just wanted to pull all these people over to watch this Dr. Lin who didn't know how to clean his mouth after stealing food, so as to tell her what kind of liking he was.

It turns out that in Lin Xuxue's eyes, the so-called liking means kissing the woman she once loved deeply in a place where Li Jiahui couldn't see.

Now Li Jiahui was finally willing to admit that she was a completely inexperienced love rookie, because her mind couldn't understand what kind of liking between adults.

Zhou Wenting naturally saw Li Jiahui outside the door, and realized that she was just a light bulb with a high wattage, so she said goodbye to Lin Xuxue who was standing by the door.

After taking a closer look, Zhou Wenting suddenly realized that she had accidentally left lipstick marks on Lin Xuxue's lips just now.

Looking at Li Jiahui's disheveled expression, Zhou Wenting was sure that Li Jiahui had misunderstood.

And it was completely misunderstood.

Just when Zhou Wenting was about to speak to Li Jiahui to explain, Li Jiahui's cell phone rang.

In the quiet narrow corridor came Li Jiahui's anxious voice: "What? Mommy is in the hospital?"

The author has something to say: Li Jiahui: My life is like a paste, the focus is on the word "paste".
