In the Same Boat

Yao Zhan has been hiding from the vice president, for fear that the other party will think of him, but this time he really can't hide.

After sending Qu Yiheng away, he went back and walked around the department again to make sure there was nothing wrong with him, then took off his white coat, briefly treated the wound on his face, and prepared to go to the vice president.

When he was walking to the vice president's office, Yao Zhan's mind was in a mess. He usually understood things quite well, but now he didn't know how to deal with it.

The deputy dean gave him a face and introduced his niece to him. If he refused, it would be a slap in the face, but if he accepted it, he would not be able to do that.

Not to mention that there is Qu Yiheng in the family, even if there is no such thing as Qu Yiheng, it is impossible for him to harm other girls knowing that he is gay. It is too inhuman to do such a conscienceless thing.

When approaching the door of the vice president's office, Yao Zhan sent a message to Qu Yiheng.

Yao Zhan: I really want to go home and have dinner with you.

Qu Yiheng was sitting in a taxi. He had been depressed because of what happened just now. No matter how Yao Zhan behaved, it was wrong for him to come here to find someone. A pao friend really regarded himself as the king.

Qu Yiheng laughed at himself, thinking about going back.

Originally, it was wrong for him to come to this city, not to mention such a commotion now.

His cell phone rang, and he looked down to see Yao Zhan's message.

The other party sent two consecutive messages, and the last sentence was: If you are sleepy at night, go to bed first, I don't know what time I can go back.

Qu Yiheng felt very dazed, and could clearly feel that he was not the only one who made the relationship more ambiguous, and both of them were responsible, but what happened after the ambiguity?Or has it been like this since then?

After sending the message to Qu Yiheng, Yao Zhan felt a little more at ease. He knocked on the door, and the vice president opened it directly and came out.

"I've been waiting for you for a while." The vice president walked out with him, "Have you dealt with your face?"

"Well, Xiao Zhao dealt with it for me, thank you Dean Zou for your concern."

The deputy dean smiled heartily in the corridor: "You guys are all so polite to me, there is a sense of distance."

Yao Zhan drove, and the two went to the place chosen by Dean Zou. It was not a high-end restaurant, but the decoration was good and there were not many people.

"Let's just have a quick bite." After sitting down, Dean Zou was not in a hurry. He first asked about the recent situation of Yao Zhan's department, and then shifted the topic to Dr. Yao's personal life without any trace.

"You've been working so hard every day and you haven't had a bite of hot food when you go back so late, it's so pitiful."

Yao Zhan smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, I usually eat in the cafeteria before leaving, sometimes it's too late and I don't have any appetite, so I just fall asleep when I go back."

Dean Zou nodded: "Tell me, if someone at home is waiting for you to accompany you, life will be much easier."

Yao Zhan really wanted to tell him that he was living a good life now, and there was really someone waiting for him at home.

But before he could speak, Dean Zou had already said, "Xiao Yao, I've always been very optimistic about you, and you're just the right age, the mainstay of the hospital."

Yao Zhan really didn't dare to take it seriously, he knew what he was like, he wanted to go up, how can a man not want to be successful in his career, but the problem is, if he wants to go up, he needs to pay and sacrifice a lot, It's not that simple, he has some principles of his own that he doesn't want to break, and sometimes he would rather stay in the pediatrics department as a doctor who "coaxes children".

"You are very capable, and you have your own way of dealing with the world, which is very good." Dean Zou praised him in the first sentence, but made a sharp turn in the second sentence, "But you are over 30, and men in their 30s are still single, not to mention Whether those single nurses in our hospital miss you or not, they just talk about this gossip...you understand, right?"

Yao Zhan was holding the wine and was about to use it to gag Dean Zou's mouth, but the other party said such a sentence, which made him stunned.

"Dean, I really don't quite understand." Yao Zhan was at a loss, "What kind of rumors?"

Dean Zou sighed, clinked glasses with him lightly and took a sip of wine.

"The one who came to see you today is your friend?"

"Yes, classmate." Yao Zhan said, "The former classmate came here on a business trip, so we made an appointment for dinner tonight."

"Oh, that's because I postponed other people's dinner, I'm really sorry."

Yao Zhan smiled: "Where are you talking?"

Dean Zou looked up at Yao Zhan: "Are you really a classmate?"

Yao Zhan's heart tightened: "Yes."

He suddenly felt chills down his spine, and quickly explained: "A while ago, a middle school classmate of ours passed away, and everyone came back to attend the funeral. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, so let's take advantage of this time to get together."

Dean Zou nodded in satisfaction: "That's good."

Yao Zhan smiled: "Dean, what do you mean by gossip?"

"I also don't think it's possible. You just have too high a vision." Dean Zou took a sip of his wine, "I don't know who spread the word that you have a problem with your style and that you are gay."

Vice President Yao Zhan was drinking with him, but he almost choked to death after taking a sip.

He turned away and coughed, his head buzzing.

Fortunately, the deputy dean did not continue this topic, but finally proceeded to the topic of the "Hongmen Banquet": "By the way, last time I told you about my niece, you have been too busy recently, and I didn't Kong will tell you."

coming.

Yao Zhan poured wine for the vice president, but he felt overwhelmed.

"Over there, she has already agreed to meet. Let's see what day you don't have work. I'll make an appointment for you to meet." The deputy dean was very enthusiastic, "I just like to see young and promising handsome men and women like you get together. Make up."

Today's talk has come to this point, if he refuses at this time, maybe the rumor of "being gay" will turn from rumor to reality in the vice president's heart.

Yao Zhan can't refuse to meet, unless he really intends to sacrifice his job.

These things came too suddenly, he hadn't figured out how to deal with them yet, so he could only bite the bullet and deal with them for the time being.

"Okay," Yao Zhan smiled and stood up to toast, "Then I will thank the dean first."

Yao Zhan called a surrogate driver, sent the vice president back first, and then went home by himself.

When going home, Yao Zhan was in a bad mood, he suddenly felt that living was really tiring.

It is said that people will always encounter things beyond their control in their lives, but now he feels that living itself is already beyond their control.

When he was a teenager, he was really reckless, he could do whatever he wanted, and the premise of talking and doing things was to be happy. At that time, he never thought that he would become such a powerless and boring adult after more than ten years .

On the way home, I passed through a tunnel, and the driver drove very fast. Suddenly, Yao Zhan felt as if he could go back to 15 years ago through this place. When he turned his head in physical education class, he could see Qu Yiheng standing under the tree. , can lead the other party to go anywhere.

At that time, he never cherished it, nor did he think about why it was Qu Yiheng, but now, after thinking about it, he has too much involuntary control.

It was past one o'clock when Yao Zhan arrived home. He opened the door cautiously, fearing that his voice would wake up Qu Yiheng. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, the light in the living room was still on.

Qu Yiheng stayed up all the time, sitting in the living room reading a book and waiting for Yao Zhan.

When the other party stood up and said to him in surprise, "You're back", Yao Zhan suddenly felt very uncomfortable, like a child who had been wronged outside finally came home.

He closed the door, changed his shoes, walked over and took out the book from Qu Yiheng's hand and threw it on the sofa.

He hugged the person in front of him, lying on the other's neck and sighing.

"Miss you."

Qu Yiheng was startled for a moment, then smiled, and patted him on the back reassuringly: "Didn't drink too much? It smells so strong."

"Then are you bothering me?"

"Not annoying." Qu Yiheng caressed him gently, "Do you still have to go to work tomorrow morning?"

Yao Zhan nodded.

Qu Yiheng also sighed: "It's too hard."

"I want to lie down with you at home." Yao Zhan said with a temper, "Why don't I resign."

Qu Yiheng smiled: "Okay, then drink the northwest wind after spending all your savings."

Yao Zhan leaned on him and smiled, and finally heaved a sigh of relief and stood up straight.

"Why didn't you sleep? Didn't you say don't wait for me?"

"I'm not sleepy." Qu Yiheng looked at him and said, "I don't feel at ease if you don't come back."

This was too much like a conversation between lovers, Yao Zhan couldn't help frowning when he watched him at the end.

"Do you do this to everyone?"

Qu Yiheng blinked: "And my brother."

Yao Zhan smiled, and took the other party to take a bath with him.

The two of them didn't do anything that night, they just hugged each other and slept. Before going to bed, Yao Zhan said, "It's great, there's someone at home waiting for me to hug after drinking too much."

Qu Yiheng felt that Yao Zhan's mood was not right, but he didn't ask any further questions, and just patted him gently, as if trying to lull a restless child to sleep.

Yao Zhan pressed his lips against Qu Yiheng's face, and the breath of alcohol made Qu Yiheng slightly tipsy.

The next morning, Yao Zhan went to work normally, but felt a headache when he got up, and cursed in a low voice.

"I cooked." Qu Yiheng came over to wake him up, "You can leave after eating."

Yao Zhan sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt and watched him, and asked for a long time: "Can you not leave?"

Qu Yiheng heard what he said, but still asked, "What?"

Yao Zhan didn't repeat, shook his head, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Breakfast is very simple, white porridge, eggs, and some pickles that Qu Yiheng bought downstairs.

"I should be able to come back early today." Yao Zhan said, "I'll see what time it is. I'll call you, and you can go to my unit to find me. Let's go out for dinner."

Sitting across from him, Qu Yiheng paused for a moment with the hand holding the spoon.

"Okay." Qu Yiheng pursed his lips and smiled secretly, he knew Yao Zhan did it on purpose.

Yesterday he went to the hospital to look for Yao Zhan. The other party was unprepared. He probably felt that the reaction was a bit hurtful. That's why he wanted to use this method to make up for it today.

Qu Yiheng's low mood from last night to just now was suddenly wiped away by such a sentence. He hated himself who was so worried about gains and losses, but he couldn't control his emotions.

"Won't I disturb your work if I go to find you?"

Yao Zhan quickly finished the porridge in the bowl, and said with a smile, "The only thing I'm afraid of is that those single little nurses will forget who I am when they see you."
