lonely patient

It took me three seconds to wake myself up, and I picked up the phone, "Hello, Teacher Wen?"

"Mr. Yan," the voice over there hesitated, "have you woken up yet?"

I looked up at the wall clock, 07:30...

"...Get up, tell me."

"My employee card is missing. I called the hospital and said I didn't see it. I wanted to ask if it was left in your car."

Card?I got up from the bed, put on my clothes and said, "I'll take a look later."

"No hurry. Sorry to trouble you."

"polite."

I tidied myself up in 10 minutes. Qin Nan was still sleeping, so I didn't bother him. I went to the garage with the keys, rummaged in the car, and finally found Wen Luming's card from the gap in the passenger seat. .

A card the size of an ID card, with the school name and badge on the front and Wen Luming's information on the back:

School of Chemistry and Biological Engineering

Professor Wen Luming

professor……

In the ID photo, Wen Luming didn't wear glasses, his hair was scrupulously combed, revealing a smooth and full forehead, he was a little less gentle than usual, and more faintly sharp, looking like a high-level alpha.

I messaged Wen Luming that I found it, and asked where he was, and he replied that it was in the school laboratory.

I thought about it and decided to take a trip myself.

I really didn't do anything these days, I just ran errands for others.Sitting in the car, I was still thinking, I would never have the patience to change someone else, Wen Luming's face is really disgusting, and I am really worthless.

Thinking about it again, I can't be blamed for it. I usually see a lot of flamboyant ones, but when I suddenly meet such a person, everyone thinks it's new.

——I'm used to making amends for myself.

When we arrived at school, Wen Luming was waiting for me downstairs. After thanking me, he asked me if I had breakfast.

"Not yet." I said.

"If you don't mind, can we go together? I was going to the restaurant in the morning and found that my card was missing." He said.

"Okay." I agreed straight away, "When I was in school, I liked the steamed buns from the Third Canteen the most, but I haven't eaten them since graduation."

As soon as I said it, I suddenly realized that I had easily said what I had been avoiding for so many years.

I was stunned for a moment, then remembered the unfinished dream in the morning, and felt an unspeakable emotion in my heart.

However, it was too late to repent now, Wen Luming was already ahead.

I shook my head, shook off the things in my head, and followed quickly.

The canteen has been renovated, and the tables and chairs have been replaced with new ones, which made me less uncomfortable to revisit the old place.

Wen Luming went to the window to buy steamed buns. I sat on the seat and admired his back view.

There are many eyes around us secretly darting between the two of us, and we don't need to think about it. A young, promising and handsome professor like Wen Luming must be a famous figure in the school.

Why was my professor at school either a bald old pedant or a beautiful but wise woman that I didn’t appreciate?

Did I choose the wrong major...

Just as I was thinking about it, Wen Luming came back with a plate, put two cages of fresh meat dumplings and two bowls of egg drop soup on the table, handed me a set of tableware, and said, "It's a bit of a treat to invite you to dinner for the first time. Shabby, sorry."

He always speaks calmly, without any embarrassment at all because of "simplicity" and "embarrassment".

I doubt that even if we squatted on the curb and ate steamed buns, he would still be able to say calmly, "Today's northwest wind tastes good."

I was so amused by my rambling thoughts, I lowered my head and cleared my throat to cover up, and looked at Wen Luming with a smile: "Then Professor Wen will treat me to something else next time?"

He froze for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Okay, definitely."

I asked him how the experiment was yesterday, and he said everything went well, and he can go home and rest today.

As soon as the words fell, a loud voice came from behind: "Yan Qiao?!"

I turned my head and saw Zhang Wen, a college classmate, looking for a place with a dinner plate.

If I remember correctly, he returned to school after graduating from his Ph.D. and became a teacher of our major, so we haven't seen each other for several years.

"Why are you here?" He sat next to me carelessly.

"I'm here to deliver something to Professor Wen." I said.

"Yo, Teacher Wen." Zhang Wen saw Wen Luming who was opposite me, obviously they were not very familiar with each other, "Morning."

Wen Luming nodded: "Morning."

Zhang Wen continued to turn to me: "What have you been up to lately?"

"I'm not busy, I'm alone." I said.

Zhang Wen clicked his tongue: "No wonder I haven't seen him for so many years. He looks young and handsome as if he just graduated from university. Unlike me, he is almost tortured by life into a bad old man."

I smiled: "You are young too."

"Hey," he waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if you look young or not, anyway, you have been staying in school, and your mind is quite young. I met Da Liu that day, graduated and switched to advertising, and now my hair is almost gone."

Zhang Wen talked a lot when he was in school, but now that he is a teacher, he still talks a lot.

"Hey, who is it? How's it going?" He asked again.

"Who?" I didn't respond for a moment.

Zhang Wen winked at me, "Your family. Didn't you say that you would get married after graduation? I went abroad to study in graduate school at that time, and I didn't drink the wedding wine with you two."

marry……

wedding...

I smiled, pretended to drink soup, lowered my eyes and said, "It's pretty good."

"And you, are you married?"

"It's done." Zhang Wen didn't see my strangeness, and happily opened his left hand to show off his wedding ring to me, "I got married last year."

"Congratulations."

I took out a piece of paper and pressed the corner of my mouth, put the ball of paper under the table in the palm of my hand, and touched my ring finger unconsciously.

Empty.

"Teacher Wen, I'm done eating."

When I looked up again, I happened to meet Wen Luming's gaze. I don't know if it was an illusion, but the way he looked at me seemed hesitant to speak.

"Well, I'm ready to eat too." Wen Luming said with his gaze back.

"You go to work first after eating. I don't have class in the morning, so I can sneak a while." Zhang Wen was still careless.

"See you then."

"See you later, let's have dinner together another day."

"it is good."

Wen Luming and I walked out of the restaurant one after another. I didn't speak, and neither did he.

It was probably a mistake to come to school today. It made me realize that even if I forget some things, someone will help me remember them.Besides, I haven't forgotten.

Before I knew it, I was about to walk back to the laboratory building. I suddenly turned around and found that Wen Luming was still following me.

"Sorry... I lost my mind."

"It's okay, I just came back to get something."

The car was parked not far away, and now I was in no mood to be polite, so I said, "Then I'll go back first."

Wen Luming was still indifferent: "Okay, pay attention to safety on the road."

The moment I turned around, I seemed to see a different emotion in his eyes, but I didn't want to explore.

I don't want to do anything.

I am a bit tired.
