After all, Yu Tian was an office worker, he was not so free, so these days Ara’s infusion was all He Ming’s responsibility, he only needed to pick up Ara after work.
Today was the last day of Ara’s infusion.
“Mr. Yu is a little late.”
Yu Tian worked overtime in the evening and hurried to the hospital after work. The nurse at the front desk greeted him and mentioned in passing, “Dr. He is doing a surgery.”
Yu Tian: “It’s so late and he is still having surgery?”
He remembered that when he sent WeChat to He Ming in the afternoon, He Ming said he had just finished a surgery.
The nurse said, “Yes, this afternoon was particularly busy, Dr. He has transferred several units in a row.” She thought about it and added: “However, it feels quite empty when he is free.”
Yu Tian nodded his head to show his understanding, and casually found an empty seat to sit down: “I’ll wait for him.”
It should be quite tiring to go around for an afternoon and evening.
About ten minutes later, the operating room door pushed open, He Ming walked out of it while raising his hand to pinch his eyebrows, his gaze touched the person not far away, he paused.
Yu Tian?
The man sat next to a green plant and actually fell asleep leaning against the wall, face tilted to one side, his skin was extraordinarily fair in the light, his features were clear and good-looking, his eyebrows were slightly knitted, and the whole person looked tired after working overtime.
“Ara’s infusion is not working?”
The implication was that why had Yu Tian not left yet.
The front desk nurse said: “He heard that Dr. He is still doing surgery, so he went to sit over there. Eh? When did he fall asleep?”
Fortunately, it was winter and the hospital was heated, so there was no fear of catching a cold.
He Ming stepped over and gently pushed his elbow: “Yu Tian.”
Yu Tian did not respond, sleeping very deeply. He Ming remembered the high school days when he tutored Yu Tian. He only left for a short time, Yu Tian was already sleeping unconscious.
The ability to fall asleep everywhere he went had not been lost.
Due to He Ming’s urging every three seconds, Yu Tian hazily opened his eyes: “Hello.”
He Ming: “Well, let’s go.”
Yu Tian’s reaction was still a bit wooden as he grabbed the dog’s leash: “Oh.”
In fact, shortly after he sat down, he thought of a very serious question – was He Ming going to go on a date with his girlfriend after work? Then, if he waited here, wouldn’t he be suspected as a sinister person?
But the heating was so comfortable that Yu Tian fell asleep without thinking about the result after a few minutes.
He Ming returned to the office and took down his coat and scarf from the hanger, Yu Tian woke up slightly in the interval, and the two walked out the door together.
His clothes were unbuttoned when he fell asleep, and even his scarf was still hanging down around his neck, so when he suddenly pushed the door and let the cold wind blow, all of his teeth started to grind.
He Ming glanced at him and handed the scarf to him.
Yu Tian retained his last stubbornness: “No, I’m not cold.”
He Ming didn’t care if he took it or not, and walked away with his long legs. So Yu Tian had to follow with his scarf. Halfway through, he remembered something: “I drove the car, I’ll drive you home.”
He almost forgot, this was the reason why he waited for He Ming to get off work.
He Ming seemed a bit surprised. He didn’t reply, but his feet had followed Yu Tian to go in the opposite direction.
He thought that he just didn’t want to walk home, so he stayed here waiting for him and wanted to brag about his car.
Unexpectedly ……
He Ming couldn’t help but laugh at the idea within his own brain. It was probably really hard to stop the desire for too long. The other side suddenly cared about him a little, making him unable to not think about it..
They got into the car and fastened their seatbelt: “There are still more than ten minutes until you get home, so you should take a nap.”
He Ming: “I’m not sleepy.”
Outside the car window on a winter night, it was silent. There were few pedestrians, and only the car lights were flashing. The warm air sent out by the air conditioner was unexpectedly reassuring.
Yu Tian said casually: “I remember when you were small, you seemed to want to be a lawyer, then how to become a pet doctor?”
This was a point that he could not figure out.
When he was studying, He Ming was good at everything, especially mathematics, hailed as ” the least likely to get the standard answer wrong “. Everyone thought he would enroll in a university mathematics department. The result was that he ended up filling a medical department, and it was not even for human consultation .
Although he was the ace of the famous school. but when mentioning it, outsiders always feel it was low level.
There were some relatives and friends showing ‘how can you enroll in such a profession’ expression. And whenever they did, Yu Tian was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “What’s wrong with veterinary medicine? Veterinarians can make money”.
However, inside he felt that it was not worth it for He Ming, who was such an outstanding talent.
He should go to help the country research a missile or bomb or something and become worthy of the country.
Of course, these words Yu Tian never said to He Ming. Otherwise, He Ming would be particularly dejected.
“This,” He Ming looked out the car window and stretched his limbs a little, “is probably a wish.”
“Your heart’s desire?”
Yu Tian hit the steering wheel and turned a corner.
He remembered that He Ming was a very cold person when he was a child and he also had not seen much of small fluffy animals.
No, your.
He Ming’s heart said.
Yu Tian’s personality as a child was similar to now, and might be more sensitive than now.
At that time, Yu Tian’s family had a dog, which Yu Tian liked very much, and often brought it out to play with He Ming.
He Ming himself was not interested in small animals. But Yu Tian liked it. So, he often went out with Yu Tian to walk the dog.
One day at school, He Ming was waiting for him at the entrance of the alleyway as usual, but he found a puffy-eyed, tear-stained Yu Tian as a result.
Yu Tian sobbed and said, ” Chia is sick.”
He Ming asked, “What kind of sickness?”
Yu Tian burst into tears and said: “A disease that can’t be cured, the doctor said it’s hopeless.”
He Ming was silent for a long time and gently patted his shoulder.
He did not have as much emotion as Yu Tian, but at this moment he also experienced a great sadness. His teacher said that this kind of feeling was called “empathy”, but He Ming felt that it was more than just empathy.
He seemed not to be sad for Chia.
He just didn’t want to see Yu Tian shed tears.
……
“What are you waiting for? Get out of the car.” The car was already parked under He Ming’s house.
He Ming opened the door and got out of the car, he waved his hand at him through the window, his lips moved slightly, seemingly saying something.
Yu Tian rolled down the window and heard him say, “…… Be careful on the road.”
In the context, Yu Tian felt that He Ming should say “Thank you, take care on the road”.
Many years of terrible friends suddenly became so gentlemanly, Yu Tian was very uncomfortable. He waved goodbye to He Ming with a half-hearted action. He stepped on the gas pedal and left..
When the car drove out several hundred meters, Yu Tian remembered that he forgot to return the scarf to him.
