Hold on, you can't bend!

For a period of time after moving into their new home, both Zhang Nan and Fu Yuzheng became extremely busy.

Dr. Fu leaves early and returns late every day, and works diligently in his sacred post to save lives and heal the wounded.

The little artist goes to and from the comics club every day, and a series of details before the publication of the new book are urgently to be finalized.

They go out together every morning, and when they come home, either they have fallen asleep alone, or they have not yet returned.

In short, the opportunity to sit down and finish a meal in peace is precious.

Cough, not to mention that blah blah blah.

Finally, when the preparatory work for the publication of Zhang Nan's new book came to an end, I managed to find an evening to pick up Fu Yuzheng from get off work at Qinghai Hospital.

He didn't call in advance, and didn't know if Fu Yuzheng was busy now, so he didn't bother, he still strolled to the parking lot, sat in the shade next to the sentry box, and waited for the summer.

There were footsteps passing by, and as soon as Zhang Nan looked up, he saw the uncle in the parking lot holding a big tea mug and waving a cattail fan happily walking over.

The uncle sat down beside Zhang Nan, and asked carelessly, "Are you waiting for the doctor again?"

"Ah..." Zhang Nan hesitated for a moment, thinking of the meeting half a year ago, Fu Yuzheng said the word "boyfriend" directly, and he didn't know how the old man's psychological endurance was, whether he was shocked and severely injured .

But now it seems that it seems to be okay?

Of course, it may also be that the other party did not hear clearly at the time.

Zhang Nan gave a vague "hmm" and nodded, then tried to blur the focus of the topic, pointed to the big tea mug in the uncle's hand, and said, "Oh, this is an old thing, it must have been around for 30 or [-] years Bar?"

"No." The uncle was still cheerful, and just when Zhang Nan thought he was going to tell him an epic historical event about this "old tea mug", the old man changed the subject and asked, "That...you really paid for it?" The doctor's boyfriend?"

Zhang Nan: "..."

No, let's not talk about big tea mugs?

And, this uncle is quite a gossip!

"I..." Zhang Nan hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer the "proposition".

Say yes, it seems inappropriate.

No, why not?

Unexpectedly, the uncle patted him on the shoulder with a plantain cattail fan, and said with a loud smile: "This young man, why are you so shy, what can't be said!"

Zhang Nan was stunned for a second, then his shoulders relaxed slightly, and he said with a smile, "I'm not afraid to scare you."

"Did you underestimate us born in the 70s?" The uncle looked at the depth of the vicissitudes of life, "At our age, we have never seen anything, and we can still be scared by you two young men falling in love?"

Zhang Nan laughed out loud, thinking that this old man is really funny: "Post-70s? Are you born in [-] years?"

"Tsk, why are you not as fashionable as I am when you are young?" The uncle waved his fan and said, "Master, I am 73 this year, what is it if I am not born in the 70s?"

Zhang Nan: "..."

Okay, I'm short on knowledge.

You guys born in the 70s are really trendy.

The uncle smiled and said, "Hey! Dr. Fu is really a good person, you are lucky!"

Zhang Nan was aroused curiosity: "What's the matter, do you know him well?"

"Not very familiar, but I know some little things about him that no one else knows."

"Huh?" Zhang Nan asked, "Can you explain?"

The uncle said slowly: "There is an old man in our community, an old widower. During the hottest days of last summer, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. The situation was quite fatal. Poor boy, this big brother has no children all his life. In the end, the neighborhood committee The person who received the news sent him to the hospital, and it was Dr. Fu who performed the operation on him."

A trace of surprise flashed across Zhang Nan's eyes, and he listened quietly.

"Later, this old brother stayed in the hospital for a long time. We only found out after he was discharged from the hospital and heard from him that he injured his leg while working in the production team when he was young, and he didn't do anything to earn money afterwards. Living, after getting old, he has been living on the "five guarantees", surgery, medical treatment, hospitalization, after more than two months, the medical bills are piled up, but where can he find money?"

The old man sighed, "It's all paid for by Doctor Fu."

"As a result, after he was discharged from the hospital and the reimbursement of medical expenses was approved, he took the money in his pocket and went to the hospital to find a doctor—guess what?"

Zhang Nan said, "I don't guess, I want to hear from you."

"..." The uncle said in his heart that you are quite headstrong.

"As a result, Dr. Fu only kept the hospitalization and treatment expenses, and he didn't take a single cent of the one hundred thousand yuan for the operation fee. He regarded it as a public welfare operation himself."

After the uncle finished speaking, Zhang Nan was speechless for a long time.

Fu Yuzheng didn't even mention this to him.

However, when I think about it now, this should not be a special case. I have been a doctor for so long, who knows how many such "big brothers" Fu Yuzheng has secretly helped?

But he never mentioned it, and maybe he didn't even take it to heart.

The uncle smiled and patted him, and said: "So, young man, your boyfriend is a good man-don't look at these two words are light, but it can be done, but it is not easy, so don't worry, the old man will take care of you two. Keep it a secret! Don't talk about it, in the hospital, if anyone says something bad to Dr. Fu, I have to worry about him!"

Zhang Nan lowered his eyelashes, was amused to laugh out loud, then nodded seriously, and said solemnly: "Then we thank you!"

Not long after, Fu Yuzheng came downstairs from the ward, and saw Zhang Nan and the uncle under the shade of the trees from a distance, paused slightly, and then quickened his pace.

"Why did you come here?"

Zhang Nan stood up from the ground, and said with a smile: "I'm done with my work, just strolling over to pick up the car, Dr. Fu will take me all the way?"

The corner of Fu Yuzheng's mouth curled slightly, and he rubbed the back of his head: "Go, go home."

"Got it."

After walking two steps, Zhang Nan suddenly remembered something, turned around and shouted to the old man who was still sitting under the tree: "Master, see you later!"

The uncle smiled and waved the cattail fan with him.

After getting in the car, Fu Yuzheng started the engine, and asked with a smile, "How can you be so happy talking with the old man every time? What is your mental age?"

Zhang Nan waved his hand indifferently, didn't answer his question, thought for a while, but said: "In the future...if you can't get your hands around, or you are short of money, just tell me."

"Ah?" Fu Yuzheng didn't keep up with his brain circuit for a while, and asked: "...What money do I need?"

Zhang Nan sighed deeply, touched his side face slowly, and said affectionately: "Don't worry about it yourself, do we need to see each other, after all, mine is yours, yours... It can belong to the patients."

Fu Yuzheng: "..."

What's all this mess? !

That's all for one chat, isn't the uncle poisonous?

And this messy day continued for a while, and the busyness came to an end, and they finally ushered in the notice from the other side of the Atlantic.

As early as a month ago, Zhang Nan and Fu Yuzheng submitted a notice for same-sex marriage registration to the relevant department in London. After a 28-day publicity period, they received a reply and passed the review. They can go to the local government department on the same day. register.

So, in the late summer and early autumn of the same year, Zhang Nan and Fu Yuzheng flew to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean again, holding a visa and a valid personal certificate, and officially registered their marriage.

The registration date is chosen on the day of Liqiu.

This day is Zhang Nan's birthday, and from now on, it will also be an anniversary dedicated to the two of them.

After the registration ceremony, they held a small but extremely warm wedding in the chapel next to the registration center.

The black suits of the same style were worn on both of them. Fu Yuzheng wore a tie with hand-embroidered red dark patterns, while Zhang Nan tied a Windsor knot of the same color at the neckline.

The two are slender and tall, with a long body and a jade body, and they are unparalleled.

A second before they stepped into the door of the church, the hands hanging by their sides moved slightly towards each other in unison.

The fingertips touched, and in the next second, they clasped together.

I entrust myself to you.

and hold you fast.

This life, this life, life after life.

The lingering melody flowing in the nave of the church is not the traditional "Wedding March", but a classic old song.

—— "iwill always love you"

Under the gaze of the pastor, they walked up to the stage hand in hand.

Whitney Houston's slow but ethereal voice is still singing—

"i hope life treats you kind, and i hope you have all you "ve dreamed of"

"andi wish to you, joy and happiness"

"but above all this, i wish you love"

"Andi will always love you, i will always love you..."

The song was chosen by Zhang Nan, and Fu Yuzheng said that he also likes it very much.

The priest read the oath, and they stared at each other, whispering "I do."

Then came the exchange of rings. Fu Yuzheng put a platinum ring engraved with broken diamonds on the ring finger of Zhang Nan's left hand, then bent down and kissed lightly between the fingers.

There was a layer of water vapor in Zhang Nan's eyes, but the corners of his mouth were always raised slightly.

But at this time, he said: "Doctor Fu, I didn't prepare a ring for you, can you replace it with something else?"

Fu Yuzheng asked: "What is it?"

Zhang Nan bowed his head slightly to the pastor, and the other party received the signal and took out a small suitcase from behind the booth.

Fu Yuzheng was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Nan took the small box, turned to him with a smile, and unlocked it.

Fu Yuzheng's eyes were downcast, and after a long while, his eyes suddenly turned red.

The rectangular box was actually full of Zhang Nan's manuscripts.

And he flipped through them one by one, only to find that from the time of first meeting to the present moment, what Zhang Nan draws is all the moments he and he have walked together and accompanied each other.

A first look at the bar restroom.

Oolong in the hospital outpatient room.

Those during the treatment, "go through the plot" bit by bit.

As well as the short interval of sobriety in Zhangnan, every moment they spend together.

Until later, they fell in love, and they stayed together.

The last one is the manuscript of the wedding scene that Zhang Nan finished in advance.

In the drawing, he and Zhang Nan stand side by side, looking at each other with gentle smiles in their eyes.

As now, as now.

Zhang Nan completely reproduced and recorded the story between them in the form of comics.

Fu Yuzheng's eyes flickered, and after a long time, he asked, "This is... your new work?"

"That's right." Zhang Nan said, "The title of this work is "Falling in Love in Yuandan Manga". This is all my manuscripts."

"Fu Yuzheng, I once said that you are my asclepius, but to me, your meaning is so much more than that?"

"You are my eternal muse, giving me inexhaustible inspiration, hope, and love."

"And now, you are my family, the one person I will spend my life with and will never let go of."

"Then, I can exchange these "love" for a ring, okay?"

After a long wordless silence, Fu Yuzheng sighed deeply and nodded vigorously.

The smile on Zhang Nan's lips deepened. He raised his hand, took out a printed sample book from the bottom of the thick and overlapping manuscripts, opened the title page, and handed it to Fu Yuzheng.

"This is a sample of the new book. It was already ready for publication, but the most important piece of information is still missing."

Fu Yuzheng asked: "What is it?"

Zhang Nan said: "I will draw our story, but I want you to write the opening preface."

Fu Yuzheng stroked the white title page with his fingertips, and nodded slowly.

He found a fountain pen from the pastor, unscrewed the cap, and took care of writing.

The melody in the church has never stopped, that song has been sung——

i will always love you.

The past is flickering, and the floating life is with you.

Under Zhang Nan's smiling gaze, Fu Yuzheng wrote down a sentence vigorously.

That is the most touching confession of the love story between them——

"The fact that I love you happens when I don't know it, and it lasts in a silent moment."
