Mu Chen

126. Lost Contact

Putting down the phone, the smile on Mu Chen's face could no longer be maintained.

In fact, after he came out of the hospital, he has been vacillating: should we stop here? After all, it is difficult for Yu Yong to be caught in the middle, and he is reluctant.

But I didn't expect Yu Yong to go through the formalities so quickly, and I haven't called him to explain until now.

The current him may be the villain Shui Chengqi said that he fears the world will not be chaotic, but he really looks like a clown when he thinks about it.

Muchen shook his head, shook off these negative emotions, and finished the housework in hand.

Yu Yong hasn't come back yet, and he hasn't called yet. He looks at his watch and it's almost eight o'clock. He boils water and prepares to make a cup of tea.After the water was boiled, I found no tea leaves, and the refrigerator I opened was empty with only three eggs.

Thinking about Yu Yong's busy appearance, he couldn't help sighing, forget it, maybe he didn't call but just wanted to talk face to face when he came back at night?

Muchen poured a glass of boiled water, and sat on the sofa with a book to read, but the exhaustion of more than two days made him fall asleep quickly.

When he woke up, he looked at his watch and it was already past three o'clock in the morning. Mu Chen rubbed his sore neck, took the phone, there was no missed call, only a text message at eleven o'clock,

"Brother, I have to deal with something on the construction site. I won't be going back at night. Go to bed early."

Mu Chen frowned, he held back the unhappiness in his heart, and tried his best not to think too much, got up and took a shower.

He had already walked to the bed with the book in his hand, switching between various cameras in his mind, he still couldn't hold back the discomfort in his heart, and he walked out again.

Sitting at the desk, he turned on the computer to reply to emails, looked at the completion of the students' homework, then opened his own homework, checked it carefully, and corrected some details.

After being busy for a long time, it was only six o'clock when he looked at his watch. The original exhaustion and jet lag made his mood worse. Seeing that there was nothing to do, he changed his clothes and went out.

In summer in City Y, the temperature was less than twenty degrees at six o'clock in the morning, facing the morning breeze, Mu Chen felt a bit of coolness.

First, I went to a beef noodle restaurant I used to go to. I didn’t eat a few mouthfuls for lunch and dinner yesterday. After eating a big bowl of noodles, I immediately warmed up and felt less depressed.

After the meal, I walked slowly to the park, and walked around the lake in the park to see that it was almost eight o'clock, but there was still no news from Yu Yong.

Mu Chen thought for a while and sent a text message, "Xiaoyong, remember to go to the police station to take notes this morning."

Yu Yong replied in seconds, "Understood, I still have something to do here, I will call you later."

Muchen's heart sank, and he slowly wrote a word, "OK".

This time there was no answer.

Mu Chen couldn't express his mood clearly, he originally sent this text message to ask Yu Yong to give him an explanation first.

He didn't want Yu Yong to feel that the other party already knew everything before he opened his mouth, and also made it difficult for Gu Ning, but he didn't expect to get it, to deceive.

However, whether it's the tradition of the Mu family or the relationship between him and Yu Yong, they have always said things without hiding them, just because they don't want to cause misunderstandings.

Before Mu Chen got home, he planned to call Yu Yong later to find out. He didn't believe that Yu Yong's feelings for him had changed.Maybe it was just inconvenient to talk just now?

It's too hypocritical for him to think so much, and he's not a little girl.

There was still no message at ten o'clock, so Mu Chen called Yu Yong, and Yu Yong only picked up after two rings, but the background was very noisy, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Muchen, "Are you busy? Have you been to the police station?"

Yu Yong paused, "I've been there."

Muchen didn't wait for supplements, so he had to ask again, "Is there anything wrong?"

Yu Yong didn't hesitate this time, "No, I still need to investigate. Well, brother, I have something to go back here, how long can you stay?"

Mu Chen's heart was cold, but he was still a little worried that something might happen to him, "Is there any trouble at the construction site? Or something happened? Should I ask my brother for help?"

Yu Yong, "No need, it's all routine work. It's me, um, who has to coordinate on site, and I can't do without it."

Muchen hesitated before asking again, "Have you been to the hospital? How is your mother?"

Yu Yong, "I didn't take care of it, but I called. Aunt Wang said that the doctor had seen it and told me to lower the blood pressure first, nothing else."

Muchen nodded, "I see. I'm leaving today...the plane at three o'clock in the afternoon."

Yu Yong paused for a few seconds this time, "...Brother, I can't leave, so I won't see you off. I'll wait until you come back from vacation."

Muchen, "...OK."

Putting down the phone, Mu Chen booked tickets online, and instead of choosing the three o'clock one, he bought the five o'clock one.Then, just wait.

But from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, no one came home, nor did I get any calls or text messages.

Muchen stood up from the sofa and barely moved after sitting for nearly six hours. Although the sofa also felt very uncomfortable, compared to the disappointment in his heart, this discomfort was nothing at all.

Before going out, Muchen took off the key that had been with him all this time, and put it on the table.

He thought, this time, he probably won't come back.

From City Y to Beijing and then to Paris, counting the time at the airport, it took another ten hours. As soon as he got back to the apartment, Muchen only took a shower and went to bed.

I thought I wouldn't be able to fall asleep, but I fell asleep quickly.

From this day on, the two lost contact with each other inexplicably. They never called or texted each other, and they didn't even ask or tell each other when they landed.

However, when Mu Chen reported Gu Ning's safety that day, he pretended to ask unintentionally, "Brother, help me see if Xiaoyong is all right, I'm afraid he won't tell me the truth."

Gu Ning agreed and quickly called him back.

Yu Yong is fine, busy routinely.

Lin Lan is also slowly improving in the hospital.

Shui Siyuan has already returned home, the specific situation is not clear, but he should be fine.

Muchen put down the phone, he thought he should be satisfied, no matter how much he was disappointed, it was better than Yu Yong was really in trouble.

It's just that things that have been unable to make up their minds seem to be finally settled.

Until the end of August, Muchen didn't receive any more calls from Yu Yong, and he ended his study as a visiting scholar.

The two colleagues from the same hospital have returned to China, and the Doctors Without Borders that he signed up for has finally passed.

They should go back to the country, at least to see Jiangcheng, but they have a rescue operation in Niger to start soon, and the time is a bit tight.

In fact, it's okay, don't hesitate.

Muchen called Gu Ning first, as expected Gu Ning was blown up, and this time Ding Bowen was even more angry than Gu Ning.

Mu Chen stopped after being scolded by the two of them, so there will only be mosquito-repellent eyes left.

But facing the existence of these two brothers, who are like relatives, he can only smile and say good things,

"I just applied for it. I didn't expect to pass it so soon. Brother, you have to be proud of me. Ah, I have taken the Tropical Diseases course. I just learned it this year. No, it's not a premeditated one. For a long time, I have always had this idea, so I prepared first, hehe. Senior brother, why am I rebellious when I am thirty? Uncle Huo, you have been protecting me since you came out to go to school and work, and you even developed so many relationships in Y City for me to go back to my hometown. Brother, I know, you have always been unwilling to cause trouble for the family. Okay, okay , Count me as being passionate, of course you are doing it for profit and it has nothing to do with me. He is an experienced general practitioner, with a focus on general practice. He is also proficient in English and French, and can speak several minor languages. He also studied tropical medicine with great foresight. Let’s see, what a suitable talent, so you have to work for him. I'm proud, don't scold me, and tell your wife not to be angry, darling, Bowen and I grew up together, and I haven't seen him so angry before, so I can break his record, hehe."

Gu Ning was angry and laughed, and Ding Bowen beside him was still a little angry, Gu Ning smiled, "Forget it, let him, he is 30 years old, should we take care of what he wants to do? Their Yu Yong It doesn't matter, oh yes, Xiaochen, what does your Yu Yong say, he just supports you? And Uncle Cheng, you haven't told him yet, right? "

Mu Chen, "Hey, Xiaoyong, I didn't tell him. Anyway, he can't go back to N city, and he has no objection wherever I go. Uncle Cheng, I was going to go back and tell him face to face, but it was too late now. I I plan to tell you guys first, and call him later, hehe."

Ding Bowen frowned, "Stop smirking, can you go to MSF the same as you go to study, I advise you to be frank and lenient with Yu Yong, and don't bully other children."

Muchen sighed, "Oh, let's talk about it. I'm still playing lost contact with him. If he wants to ask, let the senior brother help me say something good. He doesn't understand professionally. He just said that I'm going to get my qualifications, and it's only a year or two." .”

Gu Ning was angry, "Cooperating with you, let us put it down to others, it's a good idea!"

Ding Bowen, "Can you guys not be so naive? Still playing Lost Contact? No, you don't really have a problem, right? You didn't go to MSF because of this, did you?"

Muchen, are people with high IQs so perceptive?

He smiled busyly, "How can I say that I have not pursued so much? Going to MSF is my long-cherished wish. Brother, there are a lot of great talents in our school. What's more, under your wise leadership, our hospital will get better and better. Doctors can be easily grasped, and there are a lot of them. But, the point is, there is only one MSF, your precious junior. This is another way to open the business card, right? .”

Now even Ding Bowen laughed, "Mu Chen, I grew up with you, and I have never seen you so good at coaxing people. Well, it can be regarded as breaking your record in our place. Hehe, shouldn't it be coaxing?" The little boy did it out of practice, right?"

Muchen sneered, "Hehe, I'll call or email you when I have a chance, don't miss me too much, I'll call Uncle Cheng after I hang up."

Ding Gu and the two on this side looked at each other in silence as they looked at the hung up mobile phone, while Jiang Cheng on the other side was also shocked, "Say it again, did I hear you right, Chenchen?"

Mu Chen repeated the same rhetoric he had given to Gu Ning, finally calming down the worried Jiang Cheng, and repeatedly promised that if there was a chance, he would transfer to a safer place for service before putting down the phone.

Put down the already hot mobile phone, charge it, and start packing.

In addition to the ones that can be taken away, there are also some that are reluctant to be thrown away and need to be sent back to China. Thinking of Gu Ning's crazy appearance after receiving it, Mu Chen chuckled unkindly.

After more than a month of adjustments, Muchen no longer sleeps all night because of Yu Yong.

He didn't know what Yu Yong was thinking, and why he didn't contact him. He obviously heard from Gu Ning that nothing happened to him, and Lin Lan was fine.

Muchen guessed that Yu Yong should know that he already knew about his withdrawal of the case, but after such a long time, even if he didn't know at the time, he would understand later.

Maybe he was ashamed and didn't know how to speak, maybe it was because he was not considerate enough.

Of course, there is the last possibility, which is that that day was too chaotic: being forced by design, forced by friends, forced by lover, forced by mother, maybe he felt tired and couldn't keep going.

But such an intense start, and then such an abrupt end, always feels like a joke.

Although, he is that joke.

Why can't you tell him?Even if there is a period at the end, no, even if I write an email, but there is no, there has never been.

Such a relationship is inherently difficult, and with such a mother, it is even more difficult. However, no matter what the previous situation was, Mu Chen was not only sad and disappointed, but also found it boring, very boring.
