family of doctors

Shao Changgeng brought Shao Rong to a specialty store.

As Christmas is approaching, many stores attract customers with beautiful Christmas trees and eye-catching discount signs, and this specialty store is no exception. There is a Christmas tree more than one meter high at the entrance, and dazzling lights twine around and flash with music The tree is full of cute Christmas socks.

This situation reminded Shao Changgeng of that night many years ago.

Shao Rong was only two years old that year, and he swallowed his mother's keys on Christmas Eve. An Fei anxiously took the child to the hospital for examination, and because of this, he formed an inseparable bond with that unrelated child.

Later, he took Shao Rong to dinner on a whim. Shao Rong, who was very curious, even tore off the colored lights on the Christmas tree at the entrance of the western restaurant, and was so frightened by his stern gaze that he couldn't stop crying.

——Perhaps, that was the first time he was soft-hearted towards Shao Rong.

Now that Shao Rong is 16 years old, he no longer loves to cry and be curious like he was when he was a child, but every time Shao Changgeng sees him, he will inexplicably raise a kind of gentle emotion, which flows slowly in his heart.

This is the child he raised with his own hands.

In the past, she only relied on him alone, and in the future, she will only belong to him.

The handsome Shao Rong was very popular with the shop assistants. As soon as he entered the door, a young girl pestered him to sell products: "What do you want to buy, handsome? Our store has a promotion today, and the row on the left is [-]% off." , there is also the latest style of sweater on the right, what do you like, do you want me to get some for you to try?"

Shao Rong has a quiet personality, especially shy in front of strangers. He was at a loss for the enthusiastic introduction of handsome guys by the clerk, so he turned his eyes to his father for help, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what should we buy?"

Shao Changgeng couldn't help smiling, "Didn't I let you choose it yourself?"

Shao Rong said: "I already have enough sweaters, I don't need to buy new ones."

Shao Changgeng glanced casually in the store and saw the scarf hanging in the back row, "Why don't you buy a scarf and choose the one you like."

Shao Rong nodded, and went over there to pick up the scarf.

The enthusiastic clerk continued to follow behind him to sell him, "This blue one looks good, it suits you very well, do you want to try it?"

Shao Rong just wanted to try it, but Shao Changgeng took the scarf first.

Shao Rong turned his head, and saw his father standing in front of him smiling, stretching out his hand, and wrapping the scarf around his neck naturally.The skin is in contact with the comfortable and soft fabric, which makes it feel warm in the cold winter, but Shao Rong is a little embarrassed when his father personally wraps the scarf for himself.

Looking at the gentle expression in his eyes, Shao Rong couldn't say anything, he could only lower his head and straighten his scarf as if nothing had happened, then turned around and looked at himself in the mirror.

Shao Changgeng looked at his son in the mirror. He wore a slim white trench coat and a dark blue long scarf. He looked like a little prince from a cartoon. The more he looked at it, the more he loved him.

"That's right, just this one." Shao Changgeng smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll buy this." Shao Rong also liked this scarf very much, and wanted to take it off for the clerk to pack, but was stopped by Shao Changgeng: "Don't take it off, it's cold outside, just wear it like this."

Shao Rong nodded, "Yes." After glancing at Shao Changgeng, he couldn't help asking, "Do you want to buy one too?"

The enthusiastic clerk obviously liked this sentence very much, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, sir, you can buy one too. Your brother's clothes are the same style, why don't you buy a scarf of the same style to match, if you buy two, I will pay you back." I can give you a discount."

The clerk was talking endlessly, but he didn't notice Shao Rong's embarrassing expression at all.

"Well, we are not brothers." Shao Rong said.

The clerk was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Oh, it doesn't matter if you're not brothers, if you have a good relationship... friends, many people will also buy scarves of the same style as souvenirs." She obviously misunderstood the two as a couple wearing Pretend lovers.

Shao Rong hurriedly explained, "We are not..."

Shao Changgeng timely opened his mouth to help Shao Rong out of the siege: "I am his father." He spoke with a smile.

The clerk was stunned. This gentleman looked too young. At first glance, it was impossible to think that he would be the boy's father.Looking carefully, I can't see where their father and son look alike.The clerk said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, sir, you are too young, I thought you were brothers or..."

"It's okay." Shao Changgeng interrupted her, picked out a black scarf and handed it over, "Wrap this for me, thank you."

"Okay, pay over there." The clerk pointed to the cashier in the corner, and turned to check out.

After she left, Shao Rong asked suspiciously: "Dad, why don't you surround yourself? It's so cold outside."

Shao Changgeng glanced at him with a half-smile, "Wear the same windbreaker and wear the same scarf, aren't you afraid of someone pointing at your back and saying we are a couple?"

Shao Rong lowered his head dejectedly, "Who told you that you are too young, we don't look alike, they don't even believe that you are my father."

Shao Changgeng shrugged, "Isn't it good to be young? Don't you want me to be gray-haired, hunched over, and have you to support me when I cross the road?"

Shao Rong was speechless.

Shao Changgeng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't care too much about other people's opinions."

After finishing speaking, he turned and went to the cashier to pay, but heard a familiar voice not far away: "Just this sweater, you will look good in it."

A man next to him retorted in a low voice: "Don't buy sweaters anymore, I have more than ten sweaters."

The person before said coldly: "Your sweaters are ugly as hell, and you won't be afraid of being laughed at if you wear them."

The man also retorted in a low voice: "If you wear it inside, few people will notice it."

"Hmph, you are also the chief of pediatrics, and you don't buy new clothes all year round. Could it be that Shao Changgeng didn't pay you a salary after becoming the dean?"

"But, but this one is too expensive..."

"I bought you a gift, but I don't want you to pay for it." The man walked to the cashier, saw Shao Changgeng, stopped and frowned, "Steven, why are you here?"

The other person was also surprised and said: "Ah... Shao, Dean Shao, are you back from a business trip?"

Shao Changgeng smiled slightly and said, "You two, long time no see."

——The two are indeed brothers Su Shiwen and Su Wei.

Su Shiwen glanced at Shao Changgeng, and said calmly, "Didn't you go to England? When did you come back?"

"Just got off the plane an hour ago."

"Oh." Su Shiwen nodded, "Walking around here, don't you rush home to accompany your precious son?"

"I'm accompanying him." Shao Changgeng smiled and waved to Shao Rong who was not far away, "Xiao Rong, come here."

Shao Rong came over, looked at the two strange men with some doubts, and then obediently stood beside Shao Changgeng, "Father?"

Shao Changgeng introduced: "These two are my father's friends, both surnamed Su."

Shao Rong bowed politely: "Hello, Uncle Su."

Su Shiwen glanced at him, then turned around and asked Shao Changgeng, "Is this your son Shao Rong?"

Shao Changgeng raised his eyebrows, "What?"

Su Shiwen looked at Shao Rong silently, and after a while, he said, "It's nothing, it doesn't look like when I was a child."

Seeing Shao Rong, Su Wei seemed a little shocked. After a few seconds, he turned to Su Shiwen and said, "Shiwen, why do I think that Xiao Rong... looks a bit like you?"

-

Hearing this sentence, not only Su Shiwen and Shao Changgeng's faces were not very good-looking, but even Shao Rong was stunned. He couldn't help but looked up at Su Shiwen in front of him, and couldn't help being even more shocked.

This Uncle Su was a head taller than him, with a much more resolute facial line, a much colder expression, and a bit more mature charm than him.But if you look carefully, there are indeed many similarities in the facial features of the two. The black eyes, the high nose bridge, and even the tightly pursed lips seem to be carved out of a mold.

Shao Rong always felt that his appearance was too different from his father's, but now he met an uncle who looked similar. While he was curious, he felt a little uneasy.

Su Shiwen looked at Shao Rong expressionlessly, and his tone was very calm: "It's just a coincidence to look like you, Shao Rong, you don't have to think about it." Then he took Su Wei's hand and dragged away this natural idiot as soon as possible, "There is still something to buy, let's go first."

Su Wei still didn't leave, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I've seen Shao Rong since he grew up. Tonight, on Christmas Eve, I'll treat you father and son to dinner."

Shao Changgeng smiled faintly: "Thank you, Dr. Su, for your kindness."

Su Wei didn't understand what he meant, and continued to say enthusiastically: "There is a newly opened hot pot city nearby. Dean Shao, you must be hungry just after getting off the plane. Why don't the four of us go there to eat together? I'll treat you."

Su Shiwen couldn't bear it anymore, leaned close to Su Wei's ear and lowered his voice: "You idiot! He obviously has plans for tonight, don't make any trouble, just go." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand at Shao Changgeng, and dragged Su Wei away from the monopoly quickly. shop.

"Uh... Dean Shao, then I'll go first." Su Wei said goodbye to Shao Changgeng awkwardly.

After the two left, Shao Rong asked suspiciously: "Father, who is that Uncle Su?"

Shao Changgeng said indifferently: "He is my father's friend. Why, are you interested in him?"

"I just find it strange, why do I look like him?"

"It's just a coincidence." Shao Changgeng looked calm, put Shao Rong's hand in his coat pocket and held it gently like before, and said in a low voice, "I am your closest person, you just need to remember this You don't have to think about anything else, you know?"

Shao Rong nodded: "Understood, Dad."

When they came out of the specialty store, there was light snow in the sky again, and neither of them had an umbrella, so they had to walk in the snow.

Shao Changgeng kept holding Shao Rong's hand in his pocket. Although the weather was very cold, there was a reassuring warmth from the palms held together.

This is enough.

Shao Changgeng looked at the young man beside him, and because he was afraid of the cold, he wrapped most of his face with a thick scarf, revealing only a pair of shiny black eyes, looking down at the road under his feet, and occasionally stained his black hair like ink. Some falling snow fell on him, but it was quickly melted by the heat of his breath, and the hand in the coat pocket gently held himself back.

He obediently followed by his side, just like when he was a child, quiet and obedient.

With a thought in Shao Changgeng's heart, he suddenly parted his fingers, intertwined them naturally, and clasped them lightly.

— Interlocking fingers?

Such an action beyond the scope of understanding made Shao Rong turn his head to look at his father in shock, but he happened to meet Shao Changgeng's deep gaze.

Shao Rong struggled lightly, "Dad..."

Shao Changgeng held his hand tightly, looked at him and said, "No matter what happens in the future, you have to remember one thing." Shao Changgeng paused, and gently hugged Shao Rong's shoulder with the other hand, whispering in his ear. Bian whispered, "Shao Rong, Dad loves you."

The voice in the ear was very gentle, but it made Shao Rong's mind go blank for a moment.

daddy loves you...

He suddenly didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

He is very aware of how good his father is to him, and he even thinks that Shao Changgeng is impeccable in other aspects except for being too strong at times, he can even be regarded as the best father he has ever seen.

But Shao Changgeng had never said anything like "Daddy loves you" to him. Shao Rong thought that the tacit understanding between father and son who had lived together for more than ten years no longer needed to use such straightforward language to express their emotions.

But hearing what he said at this time made Shao Rong a little confused.

His intuition told him that maybe something was about to happen, and that incident might affect the relationship between their father and son. What Shao Changgeng said was probably just a vaccination in advance.

Shao Rong hesitated for a moment, then hugged Shao Changgeng back, and said softly: "Father, I believe in you, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side."

Shao Changgeng looked at Shao Rong and was silent for a long time before he smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust."
