the time you love

Chapter 32 Between You and Me and Him (3)
"So fast? Who is the other party?" I asked curiously.

"A primary school teacher, who seems to be a local." Her tone was a little dismissive. "I scanned the invitation specially and sent it to my private mailbox. You said, this is not a demonstration? There are almost [-] people, thinking Behavior is so naive!"

"Anyway, it's always a good thing that he's willing to step out of your shadow." I said lightly.

"Maybe, I can't figure out why I wasted so much of my youth for such a man." She was still annoyed, and she was complaining from the bottom of her heart, not pretending.

I didn't comment, but after thinking about it, I asked her, "Does Zhou Nuoyan know?"

She gave me a strange look: "How do I know if he knows? You are his pillow, okay?"

I smiled wryly, she didn't know, I couldn't sleep alone in the long night.

After breaking up with He Amber, I carefully selected a cake from Yuanzu nearby, and took a taxi to the hospital.

Fang Wenlin gave me advice, unless I am determined not to want that man, otherwise no matter how difficult it is, I must coax him back.It is impossible for me not to want him, so I try not to think about that bright lip print, I am willing to impress him with a humble gesture.

He is not in the office, I sit down and wait for him.

Time passed slowly and the waiting became difficult.I hit his cell phone with a little luck, it rang a few times, and he picked it up, his magnetic but hoarse voice seemed to hit my heart.

"Promise, do you have time now? I bought a cake and it's in your office."

"Did you go to the hospital?" He froze for a moment and asked me back.

"Yeah, what?" I felt something was wrong, didn't I already say that I was in his office.

He was silent for a few seconds: "You go, I'm not in the hospital, I'm on vacation these days."

I felt like I had been slapped on the head, took a deep breath, and said, "Then where are you now? I'll go find you."

"No, I want to be quiet."

I pinched myself hard and said, "I won't disturb you, I just want to treat you to a cake."

He suddenly lost his voice, I waited stubbornly, tears overflowed from my eyes and dripped on the cold table.

"I'm in the small apartment." With that, he hung up.

I took out a few tissues and wiped my face indiscriminately, put on my sunglasses and wanted to leave, when I suddenly heard Enai's voice full of anxiety and dissatisfaction coming from the door: "Didn't I tell you to go back to rest, why are you still..."

She flashed in as she spoke, and when she saw me, she immediately lowered her face, "He Bixi! Why are you here? What are you doing here? Haven't you broken your promise enough?"

I don't want to say anything more. I passed by her and was about to step out the door. She refused to let me go, grabbed my wrist, and pushed me behind the door. Her face was like a thousand-year-old black ice, and the eyes she looked at me were like The blade is sharp: "He Bixi, I have never seen a woman like you, you have caused so many things, and you can still stand here with peace of mind."

"I don't think I need to explain to you, an outsider, what happened between me and Zhou Nuoyan."

She sneered a few times, and her eyes gradually became sad, "I really don't understand, how could Nuoyan like you, why did you occupy his heart, how could you force him to be like this?"

I was so confused and speechless.

Seeing that I didn't speak, she continued, "Do you know what he's been up to these past few days? The colleagues in the hospital are talking behind his back, and the patients treat him like a plague. In the past, they had to rely on connections to ask him to do the surgery, but now because of You are a ridiculous lie, they no longer trust him, he was suspended by the dean, are you satisfied?"

"How could this be? I thought..." I was shocked.Zhou Nuoyan valued his work more than his life, suspended?I can't imagine.

"What do you think? You think drinking and making trouble is irrelevant to the reputation of a surgeon? You should stop pretending to be naive in front of me. If you really don't think drinking and fighting is a big deal, why do you want to turn the truth upside down? Can't tell the truth openly? Because you know that this matter will affect you and your old lover's bright future, so you would rather open your eyes and talk nonsense and put all the blame on promises. He Bixi, how do you Can it be like this? Your conscience has been eaten by a dog, isn't he good enough for you? You've got so much, what else are you not satisfied with?"

I fled under her fierce attack, but ran into Guo Yi at the door who had no time to avoid it. I realized that he might have come with Jiang Enai. He heard all the conversation I had with her just now, and he just cared about me. Feelings don't show up.

When I received a text message from Guo Yi in the taxi, I simply typed the name of a community.

I replied "thank you" to him, and I am really grateful that he is willing to help me in this situation.

After ringing the doorbell for a long time, he didn't come to open the door, so I took out the key and went in.

"Promise, promise—" I called a few times, but no one answered.

The living room was dimly lit, the lights were not turned on, and the floor-to-ceiling glass was tightly covered by thick curtains, so that no light could penetrate.I turned around and went to the bedroom, and saw that the door was ajar, so I knocked twice and pushed the door open.There was no one inside, the bed was a bit messy, the milky white duvet was spread out, one corner was hanging down on the floor, a few pillows were thrown everywhere, a window on the east wall was wide open, and the cold wind kept blowing. Pour it in.

I panicked, I took off my shoes just now, and now a chill spreads from the soles of my feet to my whole body.Just as he was thinking wildly, there was a familiar sound of footsteps behind him.

I was overjoyed and turned around: "Promise!"

Standing five steps away from me, he said flatly: "You are here, don't go barefoot, be careful of catching cold."

I slowly moved closer to him, summoning up the courage to reach out and hug him.He was very face-saving and stood stiffly without pushing me away.I carefully looked at his face, then tiptoed to kiss him, almost close to the moment, I noticed his lips and his skin were burning hot, I couldn't help being startled, subconsciously wanted to leave him, but was caught He held it down with one hand.

"Promise, are you..."

Before he finished speaking, he turned my face and kissed my lips fiercely, as if he wanted to swallow me alive.His breath entangled me, making me unconsciously intoxicated. There seemed to be a fire burning in his palm, which immediately heated my skin. My breathing became short of breath, my head became dizzy, and the surrounding scenery became light and ethereal.In my memory, his kisses are always light and gentle, like a superficial touch of water, but this time they are domineering and full of aggression. The sucking quickly turned into biting, and suddenly lost the importance, and the faint blood between the lips and teeth permeated Come on, he didn't intend to stop, I let him, without a trace of resistance, if this can make him happier, he can do whatever he wants.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly pushed me away, his eyes were terribly gloomy, "Is that what he did to you that night?"

I fell down on a pillow, took a while to understand what he meant, and explained anxiously, "That's a misunderstanding! Promise, listen to me, Shen Su and I both drank alcohol that day, and we were not sober , I pushed him away at that time, we really have nothing, you have to believe me!"

"Okay, I believe you pushed him away at the time, but what happened later? Why did you defend him even when you lied? If you choose to do this for your own career, I'm willing to help you, but are you?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." I was so anxious that I rushed to hug him again, never hating myself for being stupid like now, "Nuoyan, listen to me, I helped him, but I helped him, I helped him because I I owe him too much, and I want to make up for it... Do you think I'm done with him? No, no!"

"Do you think that you owe him by marrying me?" Sadness welled up on his face little by little, and his expression was gloomy, "He Bixi, I can believe that you love me more than him, but I just want to think of another man at the same time. Occupying such an important position in your heart, even if it is your so-called guilt, I can't bear it... You lied for him, and the price of this lie may even destroy me. "

I burst into tears, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would cause you to be suspended..."

He actually smiled, "You don't know? Yes, you don't know. At that time, the most you thought about was how to excuse Shen Su. Of course you don't know, it doesn't matter."

I was speechless, tears welling up in my eyes.

"I still remember that time when I snatched you away from Shen Su, I deliberately kissed you in front of so many people, I just missed putting the words Zhou Nuoyan on you as a label," he smiled wryly, slowly She spoke slowly, as if recalling the past, "At that time, I was very confident and sure to let you come back to me, because I knew that I didn't try my best to love you and keep you before that, but now It's different."

"Tourmaline, I have tried my best for you. If this fails to keep your heart, I don't know what else to do."

"So," at last, his voice was weak, "let's calm each other down."

I refused to leave, so he gave me the bedroom and spent the night in the living room by himself.

When I woke up the next day, the room was quiet. I went out and walked around, but I didn't see him, and I was disappointed and cold.I went to the kitchen to find something to eat, the refrigerator was so empty that there were only shells left, no wonder, this house has not been lived in for a long time, I don't know how he spends here these days.After searching for a long time without finding anything, I suddenly heard Zhou Nuoyan's cell phone ringing. I was excited and ran out looking for the sound, only to find his cell phone under a pillow.

It should have dropped while going out, I looked at the call and pressed to answer.

"Guo Yi, it's me, promised to leave the phone at home."

He was quite surprised when he heard my voice, and said, "Oh? Oh, where is the promiser? Is he feeling better? Do you still need an IV drip today?"

I was taken aback: "A drip? What happened to him?"

"Ah, you don't know? A while ago, he took care of a seriously ill child. He didn't sleep for several days and nights, and he was overworked. As a result, the child's condition improved, and he collapsed by himself. The high fever did not subside the day before yesterday. I guess he was suspended. It hit him hard... By the way, didn't you go to him yesterday? How is he?"

"What should I do if the high fever persists? Is it okay to get an IV? I'll go find him now, and take him to the hospital to find you!" When I heard that his high fever persisted, I grabbed it. Thinking of his scorching body temperature yesterday, I felt strange at the time. But after being kissed wildly by him, she became dizzy, and she didn't expect that he was sick.

Guo Yi was taken aback by my anxious questioning, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous, although a high fever can be big or small, but he promises that he is a doctor, he has a sense of propriety, you just need to urge him to take medicine obediently." , Doctors have the problem of not giving themselves medicine, he is simply a model."

I was not in the mood to joke with him, so I hesitated to tell him what was on my mind: "Guo Yi, can I clarify with your dean? , there is something hidden in it, and fighting is a last resort."

Guo Yi said: "Even if you don't say it, we know it in our hearts. I have worked with Nuoyan for so many years. I don't know if he drinks too much? Besides, he has stomach problems and can't usually drink alcohol. But tourmaline, it's useless No matter how you explain it now, it’s superfluous. It’s not that the dean wants to suspend him, it’s because he promised that he can’t stand it. Your incident is too big. Everyone knows the city’s ups and downs. Patients and their family members are special groups, so it’s easy Suspicious, questioning his professional ethics face to face, no one can be calm about this matter."

"Should I just do nothing?" I feel aggrieved for Zhou Nuoyan. If I prevent him from becoming a doctor, then I will be a sinner through the ages, and it is useless to die a hundred times.

"It's actually not that serious." After a pause, Guo Yi comforted me, "If you are worried about the future of promise, then you can rest assured that promise is the best surgeon in our hospital, and our dean is reluctant to let him go. Right now He is in the limelight, suspension is unavoidable, just treat it as a big vacation, let him take a break, and come back after a while when everyone forgets about it."

I listened silently, my heart still up and down.

"However," he said suddenly, and then said solemnly, "I don't think Nuoyan is angry about this."

"I know, it's hard to explain in a word." I was so worried that I was at a loss for what to do. After getting along with Zhou Nuoyan for so long, this time I was completely stumped, and I couldn't think of what to do to get his forgiveness.

Guo Yi noticed my trouble, and persuaded me half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Take it easy, he will never be mad at you forever, you are like a rib to him, you can't lose it."

I sneered, chatted a few gossips before hanging up.At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Nuoyan didn't come back. I couldn't bear the hunger, so I had to leave a note for him and go back to the big house by myself.

The next day, my mother-in-law called from Melbourne and invited us to attend the ceremony next weekend.

I thought to myself that maybe I could take this opportunity to reconnect with Zhou Nuoyan, so I agreed on my own initiative.After I changed my clothes, I took a taxi to the small apartment. This time I behaved myself, and bought several large bags of food in the supermarket and carried them over.

I opened the door by myself, and I went to the kitchen to put things in the refrigerator one by one.Zhou Nuoyan's leather shoes are in the entrance, I know he is at home.At the door of the bedroom, I saw him giving himself an injection.

I was afraid to disturb him, so I didn't dare to make a sound. I just stood at a distance and waited for him to finish the injection before asking, "Are you feeling better? What medicine do you need? I'll help you buy it."

"No need, I took a fever-reducing injection." He looked up at me with a bad complexion.

"Oh, then what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. I bought a lot of food and put it in the refrigerator." Seeing his weak and haggard appearance, my heart ached.

He shook his head: "No need."

Although he looked like he was rejecting others, I decided to try again.He took out the gift box from the satchel and handed it to him, "I prepared the birthday present early in the morning, but I didn't have time to give it to you that day."

"Thank you." He opened it in front of me, and took a few glances at the PolymerVision reader in his hand.

With all my strength, I walked behind him and put my arms around him and said, "One more thing, my mother called me just now and asked us to go to Melbourne to attend a trustworthy wedding."

"I see, Shouxin sent me an email two days ago."

I looked at him and asked hopefully: "Then you will go? Mom really wants us to go, don't let her down."

Without saying a word, he got up and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water.

I stood there stupidly waiting for his reply, lowered my head, and my eyes slowly turned red.

"Can you ask for leave?"

I raised my head suddenly, and saw him leaning against the door frame and staring at me, with a trace of unbearable in his deep eyes.

"Yes, of course!" I nodded desperately, and couldn't help but smile.
