MTL - Wildfire-Chapter 12
"I'm exhausted and I'll have dinner with you," Tao Xiaodong said to Xia Yuan on the phone, "you can eat by yourself."
"Do you think I miss you?" Xia Yuan laughed aloud, "You're back already?"
"I'm back, let's talk about it another day." Every time Tao Xiaodong came back from the house, the first thing Tao Xiaodong thought about was his younger brother, and usually he would go home directly on the first day he came back.
Xia Yuan said yes, come out for a drink another day.
Rhubarb was going to take Tao Xiaodong and pick up the two children to their house, but Tao Huainan said that the meal was done, so Tao Xiaodong went back directly.
When he went back and opened the door, Tao Huainan was already sitting on the small bench at the door waiting, with earphones in his ears.
As soon as Tao Xiaodong opened the door and came in, he immediately took off his earphones and called "Brother".
"What are you doing sitting here?" Tao Xiaodong pressed his head.
"Wait for you." Tao Huainan smiled at him, stood up and said, "Brother Ku ignores me."
"What's wrong with you?" Tao Xiaodong came in after changing his shoes, "Are you angry again?"
Tao Huainan said from behind, "I don't."
The whole room was full of dishes, Chi Cheng was cooking soup in the kitchen, when he saw Tao Xiaodong came back, he turned around and called "Brother".
Tao Xiaodong responded and went to his room to take a shower and change clothes. Tao Huainan followed him, sitting on his bed and waiting.
Tao Xiaodong glanced at him, didn't ask any further questions, took off his clothes and went to take a shower.
Tao Huainan lay down on his brother's bed, quietly.
It was time for the child to have something on his mind, so Tao Xiaodong didn't want to ask more questions.
But the two children had been fighting for a long time this time, and Tao Xiaodong was still awkward when he saw them three days after he came back.
Asked at both ends, both said nothing.
Tao Xiaodong asked Huan Ge in the store: "What do you think about every day when you are so old?"
Huan Ge stunned him for a moment, and replied in a daze: "How big are we?"
A tattoo artist next to him answered with a smile: "Is Huan Ge big? The last time we went to the steam room together, I accidentally caught a glimpse of it, and I didn't see if it was big or not."
Huan Ge saw it, his face flushed, and he shouted angrily and embarrassingly: "Ah!"
Tao Xiaodong laughed twice, and several people around him also chuckled in low tones.
"What's annoying?" Huan Ge stood up and wanted to leave. He was thin-skinned and said to the tattoo artist just now, "I'm not serious."
Tao Xiaodong gave him a look and asked him to sit back, and then said, "I mean, at your age, you have nothing to worry about."
"I don't have anything to worry about," he said with a smile when talking about Huan Ge. "I used to worry about what to do in the future, and I had a little low self-esteem. But now I am happy every day."
Huan Ge is a good boy, he is really happy every day, he is motivated and sensible. Tao Xiaodong smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's good to be happy."
Tang Suoyan went out for so many days, and saved a lot of surgery. After several days of operations and outpatient consultations, plus the affairs in the hospital, I was really busy for many days.
In the few days when he was away, there was an accident in Corey. The intern was too nervous to go to the operating table for the first time, and the operation failed due to shaking hands. The family members have been making trouble in the hospital these days, asking the hospital for an explanation.
The atmosphere in Corey has been a little depressed these days. The young doctors are afraid of Tang Suoyan, who is sometimes too strict. This kind of accident is not allowed in Tang Suoyan's place. This intern is destined not to stay in their department, and the attending doctor is also responsible. Surgery may fail, that's for sure, but low-level mistakes cannot be tolerated in the ophthalmology department of the Third Hospital.
Tang Suoyan is actually gentle and not so strict most of the time, but at such times, the doctors in the department are more afraid of him than the director, Professor Xu Shi.
When Tian Yi came over, Tang Suoyan had just returned from the outpatient building and took a lunch box along the way.
Tian Yi knocked on the door, and when he heard the inside let in, he opened the door and put his head in.
Tang Suoyan was a little surprised to see him.
"Yo, you just eat, Brother Xue?" Tian Yi pushed the door open and walked in.
Tang Suoyan asked him to sit down, and Tian Yi hurriedly said, "You eat yours, and I'll come over and give you something."
He pushed the paper bag he brought over and said with a smile: "Xiaodong asked me to give it to you, and let me go for two days before catching your figure."
Tang Suoyan could smell the smell of traditional Chinese medicine even without opening it, smiled and said, "Thanks, it's hard for Xiaodong to remember if I just said it casually."
"There's nothing casual about him," Tian Yi said, "He's very serious."
"Xiaodong people are very nice." Tang Suoyan recalled the days when the two were in Tibet together, and they chatted on the plane, "The talk is so funny."
"Teasing you on purpose," Tian Yi sneered, "He doesn't talk much when we're together, he's a little shy sometimes."
"Introverted?" This is a little bit different from Tang Suoyan's cognition.
"Could it be that you thought he was cheerful?" Tian Yi shook his head and said, "He is the least talkative among us."
Tian Yi just came to deliver something, Tang Suoyan hadn't finished his meal, Tian Yi didn't delay much, and left after saying a few words.
Tang Suoyan still had a lot of things to do after dinner, and it was already dark by the time he got off work.
Before leaving get off work, he changed his clothes and picked up the paper bag containing the medicine, and sent a voice message to Tao Xiaodong: "Xiaodong, the medicine is here, thank you."
Tao Xiaodong didn't reply right away, Tang Suoyan had already got into the car before he received his message: "I just saw it, and I didn't take my mobile phone. You are welcome, Doctor Tang, remember to use it when your hand hurts. I use it very well. You can try it." try."
Tang Suo said, "Okay, then you are busy."
Tao Xiaodong came back quickly this time: "I'm not busy, it's okay. If it works for you, tell me, and I'll ask Tian Yi to send it to you."
Tang Suoyan replied with a smile: "Okay. I didn't find time to have dinner together before. I was too busy after I came back. Are you free recently? Ask the younger brother to go with you?"
Tao Xiaodong said: "I'm not here, I'm going out. It's okay, you are busy with your work, and we will find time when you are not busy."
Tang Suo said "Yes" and said, "Okay, you can contact me when you come back?"
Tao Xiaodong: "Alright, you are busy with Dr. Tang."
There was a little traffic jam on the road, and it was almost eight o'clock when Tang Suoyan got home.
When the door was opened, the light in the hallway was actually on. Tang Suoyan paused, opened the door and walked in.
"Are you back?" Professor Bai's voice came over, Tang Suoyan looked over, and was surprised when he saw his parents.
He didn't expect it to be his parents when he first saw the light on.
Tang Suoyan changed his shoes and walked in, and said to them, "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
"I went to your aunt's place today, and I'll come up on the way to clean up for you." Professor Bai came over to take his coat, "I've cooked all the meals for you, and I'll heat them up for you. Are you leaving get off work so late?"
"busy today."
Professor Bai took the paper bag from Tang Suoyan's hand at the same time. The professor of Chinese medicine is naturally sensitive to the taste of Chinese medicine: "What?"
Tang Suo said, "The medicine was given by a friend."
She opened her eyes and said, "Have you used everything I brought you before?"
"Use it." Tang Suoyan went in to change clothes, and sighed silently while closing the door.
A house where one person lives is different from a house where two people live. He has already packed most of Tangning's things, and there is only one person's toiletries in the bathroom. There are some things that cannot be kept secret.
No one mentioned this matter during the meal, and my parents tacitly kept Tangning out of the way, and they were a little cautious when speaking.
After dinner, when Tang Suoyan was washing the dishes, his father couldn't sit still, and his mother sent him over to ask in a low voice, "Where's Xiao Tang?"
Tang Suoyan said calmly, "Moved away."
"Why did you move away?" The old man looked back at the living room, lowered his voice and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Tang Suo said "Yes" and said, "There is a problem, let's calm down for a while."
"What are you asking..." Professor Bai outside suddenly cleared his throat, Papa Tang got stuck and said, "I don't ask any questions, I don't ask about your young people's affairs."
Tang Suoyan was amused by the two of them. After washing and drying the dishes, he wiped his hands, put his father's shoulders to take it out, let him sit on the sofa, and sat down himself.
"Talk to you, I won't hide it from you, and you don't have to worry about me." Tang Suoyan poured tea for them. At night, the tea made for them was very weak, and the faint aroma of the tea came out, with a refreshing feeling. Through the taste.
"Tangning and I have been on and off for the past few years, and you all know that. He felt that being with me was very tiring, so I couldn't stay anymore. After we talked, we felt that it would be better for us to separate, so we respected each other. There is no right or wrong. Tangning and I have been together for so many years. Although he has not had much contact with you, you may not know him well, but he is not bad. There is also a reason for my lack of contact. I am too busy. Take him home. Now he's gone, and you've all seen it."
It was rare for Tang Suoyan to be so frank. In the past, when he and Tangning had an issue, he didn't talk much about it when he got home. Whenever he asked him, he always said that there was no conflict and no problem. This time Tang Suoyan didn't hide it, anyway, he couldn't hide it.
"It's true that I'm alone now, but don't worry about me. I'm in my thirties and can take care of myself. I know you guys have been worrying about me because I can't get married and start a family normally. It's my fault."
"What are you talking about?" Professor Bai frowned, "I don't blame you."
Tang Suoyan smiled: "I know, I'm very lucky."
Once the conversation is so open and honest, the parents don't know what to say. They didn't like Tangning much, but it was better to have such a person than to let Tang Suoyan live by himself. But now that this is the case, my son understands that he is not someone who will make impulsive decisions, so there is no reason to continue to persuade him to make peace.
Papa Tang scratched his head and coughed again: "Anyway, as long as you think it over."
"Well," Tang Suoyan took a sip of his tea, "let it be."
"Otherwise, you can live at home. Anyway, it doesn't matter where you are alone." Professor Bai said, "Just stay away from work."
Tang Suoyan smiled and shook his head: "It's too far away, mom, toss."
After his parents left, Tang Suoyan continued to sit on the sofa, and there was a dead silence in the room.
It was an accident that his parents came here today, otherwise Tang Suoyan didn't intend to tell his mother about it now. He and Tang Ning haven't been in touch since the conversation that night, and it's been quite a while now.
But they didn't finish that night after all, and it's hard to tell what the situation is between the two of them now.
This was Tangning's habit of using tricks. She didn't want to speak out, so as to save herself a way out. Tang Suoyan has been trapped by him for so many years, and he doesn't know what's going on in his heart. He just tolerates his temper, doesn't take it seriously, and lets him go.
But this time it was indeed different, and what Tang Suoyan said that night was also taken seriously.
No matter how deep the relationship is, Tangning has broken Tang Suoyan's heart over the past few years.
