family of doctors

The next morning, when Shao Rong got up, he saw Chen Linlin wearing an apron busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

Chen Linlin is very beautiful, not the kind of conspicuous beauty, she has a kind of gentle temperament inherited from her mother, like the kindest girl next door.Her skin is very fair, her long hair is tied behind her head, revealing a beautiful neck, and she is wearing an apron and cooking happily. She must be the most perfect girlfriend image in the minds of many men.

Standing on the stairs and looking at her, Shao Rong suddenly felt an inexplicable emptiness in his heart.

If what happened on the night of his birthday hadn't happened, he thought, he might fall in love with a girl who would be as gentle, good-tempered, and caring as Chen Linlin.The girl would cook in the kitchen in the morning wearing an apron, and would work with him to tidy up the furniture and clean the house.

When he reaches the age of marriage in the future, he will propose to that girl, marry her and go home to live a peaceful and stable life.

But now...

He no longer has this qualification.

Even if he is not born gay, how can a person who has been hugged by a man be with a girl again without any grievances?

He thought that in his life, he would never fall in love with anyone again.

After breakfast, the two brought the required materials and took a taxi to the school together.

Today is the weekend, the day when senior three students return to school to volunteer. There are many familiar faces at the school gate of Eleventh Middle School, either elated or downcast, chatting in twos and threes, and it is very lively.

Counting it, it was less than two weeks after the end of the college entrance examination, and so many things happened.

Shao Rong, Chen Linlin, Xu Jinnian, the three of them gathered again and stood at the school gate of No. [-] Middle School, looking at each other, suddenly felt a sense of absurdity that time had passed.

It's just that in such a short period of time, the whole world has turned upside down.

It is like a castle in the air whose pillars have been cut off, and it can no longer support the purest dream of youth.

Xu Jinnian is usually very cheerful, happy wherever he goes, and is good at adjusting the atmosphere, but today, he is rarely silent.Knowing that his grandfather passed away, Shao Rong was in a bad mood, so he patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "Jin Nian, let's be sad, don't be too sad."

The word mourning and changing is easier said than done, and it is one of the worst lines to comfort people.

Xu Jinnian knew Shao Rong was the worst at comforting people. Hearing what he said, he could only smile helplessly, "My grandpa has been ill for a long time, and I have already prepared for it. It's just that the family has been in chaos these days, and my mood It's just bad."

"It's a mess?" Shao Rong couldn't understand the infighting of a big business family like theirs.

Xu Jinnian nodded and said, "I don't understand why my grandfather made a will to leave the shares to me, which made my uncles stare at me like a pig these days."

Shao Rong was taken aback by his description of what was originally a serious matter.

After a while, he said, "Maybe it's because you are the eldest grandson of the Xu family...?"

Xu Jinnian scratched his head irritably, "But I'm not made for business."

Shao Rong smiled and said: "It's okay, you are talented, you still have many years, you can learn slowly."

Every time Xu Jinnian thinks that Shao Rong is very cute when he clumsily comforts others, but at this moment, looking at the smile on his lips and thinking of those shocking hickeys on his body, Xu Jinnian suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.

In fact, Shao Rong is the one who needs comfort the most.

But when something like that happened, Xu Jinnian didn't know how to comfort him at all.

They were best friends at first, and they planned to go abroad together to work hard for the future with full of enthusiasm, but now they are all in vain. Those promises and promises are like a joke in retrospect.

Xu Jinnian still remembers the night when he and Shao Rong were assigned to the same dormitory, everyone played upgrade together. Shao Rong was embarrassed to say sorry because he was troubled. Take you, those who bully my brother, kill them and hurry up!"

Shao Rong has no friends and has a quiet personality. Xu Jinnian loves him dearly, and has always loved and taken care of him as his own brother during the two years in high school.

But now, they can only watch him being bullied.Not only can't chop off the culprit, but also keep it secret for him at his request.Such a serious injury, only a few days later, his body and mood have not fully recovered, but at this moment he is going to go across the ocean and go far away alone...

Seeing his innocent smile, Xu Jinnian only felt a pain in his chest.

After a long silence, Xu Jinnian pretended not to care and asked, "You plan to study abroad, don't you?"

Shao Rong nodded: "Yes."

"...But, how boring you are alone there, according to me, you'd better not leave, stay here and go to S University with us... It would be nice for the three of us to continue to be alumni." Xu Jinnian frantically Scratching his hair, for some reason, he, who is eloquent, started to stutter for no reason.

Shao Rong smiled, "I've already decided."

"..." Xu Jinnian remained silent for a while.

Seeing his dejected look, Shao Rong said softly, "Don't worry, I will call you when I go abroad."

"..."

"Besides, you still have Linlin to accompany you. There must be a lot of students who enrolled in S University in the [-]th middle school. I heard that Chen Yi in our dormitory is also going to the business school of S University. Maybe you can get a dormitory. You won’t be short of poker friends when you level up.”

Hearing what Shao Rong said, Xu Jinnian felt even more uncomfortable.

He was never short of poker buddies and friends.

What he was worried about was Shao Rong, an introverted person who was lonely in the unfamiliar England. He had to adapt to the environment and face heavy study pressure at the same time. Thinking about it, he felt very pitiful.

"Okay, it's not like we'll never see each other again." Seeing Xu Jinnian's tightly pursed lips and tangled face, Shao Rong smiled slightly and said, "I will return to China after graduation, and you don't have to say goodbye."

Xu Jinnian looked at him, nodded after a while, and said with a serious face: "You mean what you say, you must come back! Take care of yourself outside, if you encounter any difficulties, as long as I can help, I will definitely be obliged to call you !"

Xu Jinnian babbled a lot, but Shao Rong only nodded seriously and said, "Okay."

People from Class [-] and Grade [-] gathered in the classroom again. Teacher Zhang Xueyu, the head teacher, announced the answers to the college entrance examination papers on the podium. Every time she said the answer to a question, there was a commotion below. of.

Compared with the ups and downs of those around him, Shao Rong seemed too quiet.

He was still the same as before, sitting silently in the corner alone, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Outside the window, the bright sunshine lightly sprinkled down, as if covering the campus in the early morning with a layer of hazy golden gauze. Next to the bright green grass, there were uniquely shaped benches lined up. At this time, the benches were empty. no one.

Shao Rong remembers that when he was in school, he liked to sit on the bench in the corner and memorize vocabulary. There was a big tree over there with dense leaves that cast a large shadow. Sitting under the tree would be very cool in summer.

Now that he is about to graduate, everything that happened in this school has become the most precious part of his memory.

Including Xu Jinnian, including Chen Linlin, and including Shao Changgeng, who is extremely handsome at every parent meeting.

In the future, Xu Jinnian and Chen Linlin will have their own living circles, separated by half a world, no matter how good their relationship is, it is impossible to get together and chat unscrupulously like before.

In the future, Shao Changgeng will no longer attend any meetings as Shao Rong's father to protect his own baby, and there will never be any relationship between the two of them.

Shao Rong stared blankly at the familiar scenery outside the window, and was about to leave, but he didn't feel much sadness in his heart except for being empty.

Perhaps it was because of the various blows these days that he had gradually become numb.

Teacher Zhang finally finished the topic, and the students took the volunteer forms and gathered in twos and threes to discuss which school to apply for.Sure enough, both Xu Jinnian and Chen Linlin applied to S University. Shao Rong looked at the volunteer form, picked up the pen but didn't know what to fill in, and finally didn't fill it in, and put the pen on the table in a daze.

Zhang Xueyu noticed his abnormality and frowned and called him to the office.

"Shao Rong, I think you didn't listen to the lecture just now, and you have been wandering all the time. Have you estimated your score? How much did you take?"

Shao Rong bowed his head and thought for a while, "I am sure of the questions I have answered, but I don't know how many points I will give for the composition. Probably... about six hundred and seven."

At that time, the full score of the college entrance examination was [-], and the local key line was [-]. Shao Rong's score of [-] exceeded the key line by [-] points, so he could go to a first-class key university in China.

Zhang Xueyu nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, "Six hundred and seven is a very good result. Jinnian told me that his first choice was International Economics and Trade at S University, and Linlin enrolled at S University for Spanish. The three of you It's always the best, have you decided which school to enroll in?"

Shao Rong said: "I have already decided to study medicine in the UK, so I don't plan to fill out the volunteer form this time."

Zhang Xueyu was a little surprised, "Study medicine abroad?" After a pause, "The pressure of foreign medical schools is greater than that in China, and it is very hard...Does your father agree?"

Shao Rong nodded indifferently: "Well, he agrees."

Zhang Xueyu was silent for a while, and then said: "As far as I know, your father got his medical degree in the UK. He must have many friends there. You can go there to study medicine. In the future, you will return to China after you finish your studies. Working in the hospital at home can be regarded as 'inheriting the father's career'."

She didn't know what happened between Shao Rong and his son, but from the understanding of normal people, Shao Rong went to the school where his father had studied to study medicine, obviously to "inherit his father's career".

But when Shao Rong heard this word, he felt a sudden pain in his heart.

Inheriting the father's business?

When I tried my best to study medicine, it was really to inherit the country my father had built so hard, to be able to stand by his side to support him and help him when he was managing the hospital...

But now, what is the reason for me who is still stubbornly going to study medicine?

Do you really like medicine that much?

still is……

Shao Rong suddenly didn't dare to continue thinking, and quickly squeezed out a smile and said: "Teacher, I will go back first, and I will contact you later."

Zhang Xueyu nodded. Facing the students who were about to graduate, her gaze was much gentler, "Go. Take care when you go abroad."

"Ah."

"I have taught so many students, you are a very talented one, and you will be promising in the future." Zhang Xueyu paused, "However... Shao Rong, sometimes, don't force yourself too much, many things are Good or bad, it all depends on what you think."

"Well, I see. Goodbye, teacher." Shao Rong smiled, avoided her sight, and quickly walked out of the office, not even listening carefully to her advice.

In fact, Zhang Xueyu's words were full of profound meaning, but Shao Rong at that time didn't care because he was restless.

After a long time, recalling the conversation that day, Shao Rong suddenly felt some irreparable regrets in his heart.

If he wasn't so stubborn and stubborn at the time, wouldn't the result be better?

If he was able to turn a corner at that time, would he have met Shao Changgeng who had been waiting for him to turn around the corner?

If he at that time could know how to look back, would he have seen that person behind him with deep reluctance in his eyes?

However, the word "if" is just the saddest hypothesis.

Shao Rong could only walk forward clumsily, straightening his back desperately to prove that he was independent and strong enough.

He doesn't turn the corner and doesn't look back.

Therefore, he had no idea how much Shao Changgeng had paid for him in the darkness that he could not see.
