Drop

During Zuo Chi's hospitalization, friends and business partners came to visit him in the hospital one after another.

Han Qice heard the news from nowhere, and brought a large bouquet of lilies, wishing Zuo Chi a speedy recovery.

After he left, the nurse watered the flowers, didn't say a word, and looked at Zuo Chi in the wrong way, as if Zuo Chi was some kind of scum who played with Alpha in the palm of his hand.

Zuo Chi: "..."

Shu Qingyu also came here twice, and each time she stayed for a very short time, she didn't seem to know what to talk to Zuo Chi about.They have been together for more than [-] years, and they have nothing to say when they have given up their family business, work, and study.

Shu Qingyu's face was a bit haggard: "I have inquired about it. There is a doctor in Switzerland who has done tens of thousands of gland repair operations, and the success rate of the operation is extremely high. After your left hand is healed, we will go to Switzerland for treatment."

Zuo Chi looked at her in surprise, he didn't expect that she would really take the matter of gland damage to heart: "I can't leave for the time being, because the hospital has delayed a lot of work, let's talk about it later."

Shu Qingyu actually asked him: "Is work more important than health?"

Zuo Chi sneered: "Are you asking me?"

He has been educated since he was a child that he has to endure hardships to be a master. Before he stands on a high ground, he is not qualified to complain and shout tired.

Shu Qingyu wanted to persuade him, but inadvertently mentioned that gland damage might affect Omega's fertility, and the topic turned to Zuo Chi's marriage: "Now that your engagement with Qin Xu is void, what are you going to do? You are 26 years old , the best reproductive age for Omega will pass soon."

Zuo Chi said indifferently: "What should I do? Will I die if I don't get married or have children?"

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point again, and the mother and son broke up unhappy.

Not long after Shu Qingyu left, Cheng Xiangwan came.Cheng Xiangwan was afraid that Zuo Chi would feel bored, so he dragged Zuo Chi around downstairs.

He usually has endless things to say, but this time he seems to be preoccupied.

Zuo Chi asked: "What's wrong? Frustrated in love?"

"How can it be? When have I ever been frustrated in love." Cheng Xiangwan was holding a warm handbag, his hair was slightly disheveled by the winter wind, "It's just that I don't know if I should tell you something."

Zuo Chi: "You've already said that, aren't you just going to tell me?"

Cheng Xiangwan stopped in his tracks, and gently stroked the anti-bite ring on Zuo Chi's neck with one hand: "Sheng Li called me yesterday."

Zuo Chi raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Cheng Xiangwan: "He asked me to do him a favor."

Cheng Xiangwan didn't have Sheng Li's phone number, so when he received the call, he thought it was a courier: "The courier is at Caiji Station, thank you."

"...I'm Sheng Li."

Cheng Xiangwan was a little confused, what was Sheng Li calling him for?

Cheng Xiangwan: "Zuo Chi is not at my house."

Sheng Li: "I know."

Dr. Alessio took a week to reply to Sheng Li on time. He decided to accept Sheng Li's investment in the glandular soothing solution and pick a suitable time for both parties to go to China.

Then how to arrange a meeting between Dr. Alessio and Zuo Chi?Sheng Li thought about last Spring Festival, when Zuo Chi stayed at Cheng Xiangwan's house for two days, and wanted Cheng Xiangwan to pass this message on for him.

Cheng Xiangwan: "He thought I knew your gland was damaged, and he was going to tell you that Dr. Alessio will come to China to give a seminar, and in order to promote gland repair technology, he will perform surgery on several Omegas for free. "

Cheng Xiangwan: "The cause and effect are too far-fetched and too bad. I don't know how Sheng Li made it up. I thought about it and you wouldn't believe it, so I refused. It's better to tell you the truth."

Cheng Xiangwan: "You, you are used to carrying everything by yourself. Do you know that your friends are willing to listen to you even if they can't help you. If I hadn't called you yesterday, you wouldn't even have a problem with the car accident." tell me."

Cheng Xiangwan: "I searched the Internet, and the doctor Alessio he mentioned is indeed very famous in Switzerland. How do you think Sheng Li invited him to China?"

Cheng Xiangwan: "I think, whether or not to have an operation has to be seriously considered, but when considering, you don't need to take into account the relationship between you and Sheng Li."

Zuo Chi was stunned, when did Sheng Li know about his gland damage?He didn't even know it.

When did you contact the doctor behind his back?Sheng Li wandered around under his nose a few days ago, but he didn't say a word.

Zuo Chi felt a sour feeling in his chest, he never thought that Sheng Li would do so much for him in private.

He remembered the "like" that Sheng Li said.

Sheng Li said it more than once, and every time Zuo Chi heard it, he would tell himself over and over in his heart that he couldn't take it seriously.

Sometimes it is difficult for people to tell where a relationship started, especially when they have known each other for too long, some memories have faded in their minds, and they have become pieces of lost hearts.If it wasn't for the 16-year-old Xia Tian, ​​Zuo Chi duly examined his concern for Sheng Li, he might have mistakenly thought that they were friendship.

They were in a complicated circle. Sheng Li was late to enlightenment, but pretended to be precocious. When he didn't know what liking was, he was able to say the words "I like you" without blushing or beating his heart.He really fell in love with someone, but because that person was right in front of him, within his reach, he didn't realize his feelings.If you haven't lost it, you don't know how to cherish it.

It's not that Zuo Chi doesn't believe that Sheng Li likes him, he just doesn't want to believe it.Because once he believed it, he would have the illusion that fate was deliberately playing tricks on him.

It was possessiveness, self-esteem, and impulse... He found many reasons to explain Sheng Li's "like".Even if Sheng Li took care of him in the hospital, he would still think in his heart: If other friends of Sheng Li were sick and hospitalized, Sheng Li would do the same, what does this mean?

but……

He thought of Sheng Li who carried him to the isolation room, Sheng Li who apologized to him with sobs, and Sheng Li who knelt beside the hospital bed in pajamas and slippers.

Zuo Chi's heart clenched into a ball, and because he really felt the shaking in his heart, it was even more painful.

One month, the weather outside was cold, with a gust of cool wind blowing, Cheng Xiangwan zipped up his down jacket: "Moved?"

Zuo Chi's lips parted slightly: "I'm very confused."

"It's too cold, let's go back." Cheng Xiangwan put his arm around Zuo Chi's shoulder and walked towards the inpatient department.

He said: "I can't give you any advice, because I have never experienced such a deep relationship. Only when you don't like it, can you maintain your rationality at all times, and be selfish and free and easy. It is good to be sober, but sometimes people come to this world for a trip. , you have to get completely drunk for the first time to be happy."

"I want you to stride forward, and I want you to be truly happy." Cheng Xiangwan stood on the stairs, "We all know that it takes more courage to look back than to give up."

Zuo Chi pinched the palm of his hand with his fingertips, not sure if he still had the courage that Cheng Xiangwan said.

He is not a gambler, but is always forced to bet.

That night, Zuo Chi received a call from Sheng Li.After the call was connected, Sheng Li hesitated for a long time before asking: "Dr. Alessio agreed to come to China, did Cheng Xiangwan tell you?"

"Well." Zuo Chi asked, "What conditions did you set for him to agree?"

"He is researching an Omega gland soothing solution, and I decided to invest in the research and development project of the soothing solution." Sheng Li said, "Don't worry, I have done project research. If the soothing solution is successfully developed according to the plan, there will be no loss."

He has done research, but he made a decision on investment before doing the research.

Zuo Chi: "When did you know?"

Zuo Chi asked vaguely, but Sheng Li understood what he was asking: "The school celebration was over, I met you outside the restaurant, and your potion dropped. Ah Chi, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before..."

Zuo Chi: "Did you misunderstand me, or because you couldn't accept the reality, you forced me to accuse me?"

Sheng Li whispered: "I don't know, I'm an asshole."

Zuo Chi also didn't want to recall that day again: "You do so much now, have you ever thought that I won't have surgery? If I don't have surgery, wouldn't your efforts be in vain?"

"I just put the right of choice in your hands, and you can make any decisions by yourself. I never wanted to blackmail you through surgery, and you don't have to feel that you owe me anything. If we have to talk about who owes whom , of course I owe you more." Sheng Li said softly, "But I think you will choose to have an operation."

Zuo Chi: "Why?"

Sheng Li: "The worst outcome of the surgery is the removal of the glands... For you, being a Beta might be easier than being an Omega."

Zuo Chi was speechless, Sheng Li on the other end of the phone hurt him the most, but he was the person who knew him best in this world.

Both absurd and helpless.

After discussing the time to meet with Dr. Alessio, Sheng Li also wanted to have a conversation with Zuo Chi. He racked his brains to find topics. Due diligence, he said that the investigation of the car accident had some clues, then asked Zuo Chi how he was resting these days, and then asked Aunt Chen's cooking and his cooking, who cooks better.

"... Where do you have the confidence to compete with Aunt Chen in cooking?" Zuo Chi said, "Let's practice for another 300 years."

Sheng Li laughed, and the laughter came to the left and right ears through the earpiece, as if he was close at hand, and the electric current made a sizzling sound, which made his lower back itch.

He took the phone away: "Okay, it's time to sleep."

Sheng Li waited for Zuo Chi to hang up first: "Okay, good night."

Zuo Chi stayed in the hospital for a week, and on the day he was discharged from the hospital, Qin Xu came back.

As soon as the plane landed, Qin Xu sent a message asking for Zuochi's ward number, and took a taxi directly from the airport to the hospital.

Hearing the knock on the door, the nurse consciously went to open the door, but was taken aback by the handsome half-race guy who appeared in front of him, and subconsciously turned around to look at Zuo Chi: "Mr. Zuo..."

Only a few days had passed since Zuo Chi's birthday, but when the two looked at each other, it seemed like a century had passed.Zuo Chi didn't wear a hospital gown, but he was huddled under the blanket, looking a little listless.Qin Xu sat on the plane for more than ten hours, even though he was dressed neatly, he couldn't hide the exhaustion on his face.

"Chi." Qin Xu's eyes shifted from Zuo Chi's face to the plaster bandage on his left hand, and he frowned, "Is this what you said serious?"

"It's just an exaggeration." Zuo Chi said, "I'm just going to go through the discharge procedures."

Qin Xu: "The doctor said you can leave the hospital?"

"Well, it's just that the plaster has to be fixed for a while." Seeing Qin Xu's skeptical look, Zuo Chi said, "What's the matter, do I look that much like someone who didn't follow the doctor's orders?"

Qin Xu pointed to the computer beside the hospital bed: "What do you think?"

Qin Xu helped Zuo Chi go through the discharge procedures, and then went back to the ward to pack things with him.There are not many belongings, just a suitcase full.

It's just that the flowers, milk, fruits, etc. sent by friends and colleagues to visit patients take up too much space and cannot be taken away.With Zuo Chi's consent, Qin Xu distributed it to the nurses on this floor.

Zuo Chi stood by the door of the ward, watching Qin Xu politely distribute fruit and milk.He was good-looking, and two of the nurses blushed when they spoke to him.

Qin Xu is very charming, but...

When he came over, Zuo Chi asked, "Are you free tonight?"

"Yes." Qin Xu said, "But Lao Qin asked me to go to Qin's house later, saying that he had something important to tell me."

He stretched out his hand and rubbed Zuo Chi's hair: "I'll take you home before going there, it won't take too long."
