scalpel, soft around fingers

Chapter 29

The expected silence came as expected.

Xie Moji subconsciously looked behind him, trying to resolve the panic and embarrassment in his heart caused by not getting any response.In the distance, an ambulance is roaring.When she turned her head, she saw that Dr. Shan's gaze was also behind her.There was no smile or warmth on the pale face, only the eyes were gentle and shone slightly.

"Shan..." She probably understood that her confession was rejected.If the sick days were excluded, this should be the first time she confessed to a man like this.Obviously, her first attempt would end in failure.She clutched the bag tightly in her hand, and the back of her hand had blue veins from excessive force.

"Mo Ji, let's talk about this matter another time, shall we?" Dr. Shan finally spoke, but what Xie Moji wanted was not the answer he said.

As he spoke, the ambulance wobbled toward where they were standing.The window of the car was suddenly opened, and a head wearing a white hat poked out from inside, shouting loudly at Dr. Shan: "Old Shan, get in the car, it's an urgent patient again!"

"Okay!" Almost at the same time, Shan Wangchen took a vigorous step and grabbed the door handle with his hand.Before the car stopped completely, he had already jumped into the car.Xie Moji, who was stunned and hadn't reacted yet, stood there and stared at the scene in front of him.

"Doctor Shan, my body..." It wasn't until this moment that she realized that the tricks she had prepared would probably never have a chance to be used.She was a little anxious, but she also knew that saving people in front of her was more important, so half of her words were abruptly swallowed back into her stomach.He just yelled at the car window: "It seems to be much more comfortable, you can go to work quickly..."

"Call back!" Dr. Shan said briefly, closing the car window.

Looking at the gradually shrinking car body in sight, Xie Moji felt a little sad in his heart.Two big blood-red characters floated in my mind: "Fierce failure"!
The key to persuasion failure is that even the confession...

She walked back dully, suddenly losing all interest in what she was about to do next.What she wanted to do most at this moment was to go back to the hotel and sleep with her head covered.Well, don't think about anything, get a good night's sleep.To hell with everything just now.

It was night when I woke up.The light in the room was very dark, Xie Moji fumbled to find the phone, opened it and saw that there were ten missed calls, and she jumped up from the bed in shock.

She first dialed the number of Zeng Liang who called her seven times in a row.There was a lot of noise over there, and his voice was indistinct.Xie Moji debated for a long time before he understood that he was talking about a school where several student patients were found consecutively, and he was on his way to interview.

Xie Moji said that he would go there soon, and the other side agreed, then hung up the phone.

She quickly put on her clothes, took the recording pen and other work supplies, and ran outside. 5 minutes later already sat in a taxi.The school Zeng Liang mentioned was in the suburbs. He asked the driver and said it would take about [-] minutes by car.She rested her head on the back of the car seat, and then she was able to focus on the remaining three missed calls.

Lu Yu.

It was Lu Yu's call.

Xie Moji looked at the phone screen in a complicated mood, and couldn't think of anything else between them that needed to bother him to make a series of phone calls to himself.She had never lived with him, had no joint property, and had no other unclear ties.What is he doing?
Just as he was thinking, the phone rang, and it was him.

The bell rang seven or eight times, but she was still hesitant to answer it.The driver in front began to look at her inquiringly, and muttered to himself, "Are you having trouble?"

Xie Moji didn't say a word, but he really couldn't ignore the staring gaze of the other party, so he picked it up with a hard heart.

"Xie Moji, kindly remind you, please take good care of your boyfriend." Lu Yu said word by word on the phone.He spoke very clearly, every word was sent to Xie Moji's ears accurately.

But precisely because it was so clear, she didn't know how to react for a moment.What boyfriend, she has no idea what the other party is talking about.Her first reaction was that he had dialed the wrong number.But he obviously called Xie Moji.So, there must be something she doesn't know.

"Shall I speak more bluntly?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Lu Yu said with a smile.

Xie Moji heard the sarcasm in his words, and felt even more baffled. It took him a long time to find a way to respond: "Lu Yu, I don't have a boyfriend. Also, please be more polite!"

"Isn't Shan Wangchen your boyfriend? It wasn't many days after we broke up, but you got a new boyfriend right away. You must be guilty. Don't worry, I won't argue with you, so you should be less reserved." Lu Yu's The tone of voice was indifferent, but in Xie Moji's ears, it seemed that there was some kind of emotion that was about to explode.

She took a deep breath and felt her wrongdoing.Lu Yu was right, regardless of whether Shan Wangchen was her boyfriend or not, she fell in love with someone else in such a short period of time, which could not be considered reserved anyway.If Lu Yu could think so, I'm afraid Dr. Shan could think so too.Therefore, it is not surprising that she was rejected during the day.

"Lu Yu, what does it matter to you whether I take care of my boyfriend or not?" She ignored the bloody expression on the driver's face and said in a low voice.

Lu Yu kept laughing, and after listening to her words, he said lightly: "Of course it has something to do with it. Because he harassed my friend."

"friend?"

"Yes, frankly speaking, I plan to develop a relationship with her. Of course, it's impossible to be as fast as you. I miss you more than you. But since I plan to start, I naturally hope that it will be a clean and innocent relationship. So, please Take care of your boyfriend." He said sharply.

Xie Moji was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't answer again.

Fortunately, Lu Yu didn't intend to continue chatting with her at all, so he hung up the phone after a few words.

She put away her phone depressedly, with a sense of innocence in her heart, as if she was poured cold water by passers-by inexplicably as soon as she went out.

Thanks to this phone call, the next ten minutes of driving passed while her thoughts spread.It didn't seem long before her car arrived at the school.There were many people standing at the school gate, including the police and many people from the newspaper office.She temporarily suppressed this emotion in her heart, took out her mobile phone and contacted Zeng Liang.

Then she and Zeng Liang took the lead, and the two of them finished the interview with full vigilance and panic, and then decided on the writing idea for the newsletter on the car back.At the end of work, Zeng Liang asked her if she wanted to have some supper together.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she hadn't eaten dinner yet.It was only later that I realized that my stomach was burning with hunger.She pressed her empty stomach, nodded and followed Zeng Liang into a noodle shop.

"I called Dr. Shan just now, and he said that he will be stationed in the research and development team soon, probably to participate in the development of vaccine boosters." At the dinner table, Zeng Liang said while eating a bowl of noodles.

The noodles are beef noodles, with a lot of condiments, beef tendon everywhere, but only a few noodles.If it was normal, Xie Moji would definitely feast on it.But now, staring at this bowl of rich noodles, she only felt that it was extremely greasy.She ate a few chopsticks casually, feeling a little entangled in what Zeng Liang said.Being stationed in the research and development team meant that he would be even busier.So there was really no way to persuade him to stop and rest.She then thought of Lu Yu's phone call, and thought of him saying that Dr. Shan was harassing his future girlfriend.I suddenly felt a little impetuous in my heart, and my mood became even more depressed.

"Can't eat, do you have something on your mind?" Zeng Liang glanced at her with some understanding.It's been a while since he came out, and he can more or less see something about the matter between Xie Moji and Dr. Shan.Judging by the fact that Xie Moji's expression changed as soon as he picked up Doctor Shan, Xie Moji's mood was completely attached to Doctor Shan.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm too hungry." Xie Moji smiled, glanced at the mobile phone lying quietly on the table, buried his head in eating noodles, and stopped talking.

After eating a bowl of noodles, she tragically found that her stomach was even more uncomfortable.When I got to the room, it had turned into a constant burning pain.She didn't wash up and just lay down on the bed.I thought, it really is retribution.In the afternoon, I was thinking of deceiving Dr. Shan to take a rest on the grounds that I was sick.In the end, people didn't lie to me, but I really got sick.I really can't die if I don't want to die.

It took a while before the pain eased. She got up to take a shower, and when she came back, there were several calls on her mobile phone, all of which were from Doctor Shan.She checked that the time was already 12 o'clock in the morning, wondering if he had just fallen asleep and closed the phone without calling back.

She struggled with nightmares all night, and the man with the brown birthmark ran out to scare her from time to time.He hugged her for a while, then pushed her away again.It made her physically and mentally exhausted in the dream and outside the dream.

After finishing packing, she sent a message to Dr. Shan after breakfast, asking him if he called last night for anything.

The news came back quickly, but there were only three words: "Where are you?"

Xie Moji couldn't figure out the intention of his question, so he honestly gave him the name of the hotel he was staying in.After waiting for a while, there was no response from the other party, so she began to write the manuscript.

Her current work and rest schedule is completely irregular. When to sleep and rest, when to interview and write articles, it is entirely up to God to decide.In view of this, she and Zeng Liang made an agreement that no matter day or night, if there was nothing to do with work, she would not call the other party so as not to disturb the other party's rest.

Halfway through writing, the doorbell rang.Xie Moji was afraid that there would be another emergency, so he didn't care about wearing slippers, and ran out barefoot to open the door.It was only when I saw the person at the door that I realized that the big thorns on my bare feet on the carpet were a bit of an eyesore, and it would be useless to keep my feet back.

"Doctor Shan!" she yelled timidly.After what happened yesterday, facing him again, her psychology became a little subtle.There is a kind of uneasiness and uneasiness that a child who has done something wrong encounters a teacher.

Dr. Shan stood upright, and when his eyes shifted from her face to her feet, he said in a deep voice, "The weather is getting colder, you can no longer go barefoot."

Xie Moji blushed and nodded, and hurried in to put on his shoes.Dan Wangchen followed her into the room naturally, closed the door gently, and sat down on the sofa beside the tea table. "You said yesterday that your body seems to be much more comfortable. What do you mean?" He asked softly.

Xie Moji smiled awkwardly, she didn't know how to explain it, her original intention at that time was to hold back Dr Shan, but the timing was wrong, so she could only accept her fate.

"I'm going to be stationed in the expert group tonight. It may be difficult to move around. But I can make calls." He looked at Xie Moji.

Xie Moji was even more embarrassed by him, and took the electric kettle into the bathroom on the pretext of boiling water.Even if the faucet was turned to the maximum, the sound of rushing water could not cover up the sound of her heartbeat that was about to come out.What does single doctor mean?As if to imply that she can call her more often?So, she still has hope?
She put the water in and burned it directly in the bathroom.It wasn't until the water boiled that he came out with the kettle unnaturally, poured the water into a clean cup, and brought it to Dr. Shan.

Dr. Shan has been sitting quietly, frowning, eyes half closed.When she approached, he opened his eyes unconsciously, took the water she handed him, his brows and eyes were warm: "Mo Ji, is there nothing wrong with your body?"

He didn't wear a white coat and white trousers today, and the black trousers made his legs look more slender. Xie Moji stared at his trousers, feeling a little dazed for a while, and couldn't even finish his sentence: "I had a stomachache yesterday, but now... it is good."

"Then you rest and rest." Dr. Shan took a sip of water, looked at her face, stood up and said, "I'll go first."

"Wait!" Seeing that he was about to move, Xie Moji stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve in a moment of impatience.Eyes inevitably met his searching gaze.She was a little embarrassed at once, but she didn't want to violate the little flame in her heart that was getting higher and higher, and said tremblingly: "Those words I said yesterday..."

"Huh?" He stopped and looked at her.

"Don't you think about it?" She seemed to have used great courage, and her cheeks were flushed from too much force.

"Mo Ji..." Dr. Shan patted her on the shoulder lightly, lowered his head, his hair almost tangles with her bangs: "I don't understand flirting, I don't know how to be romantic, maybe I won't be a very good one." Boy friend."

Someone knocked on the door outside, and the knocks made Xie Moji restless.She didn't move, looking at Dr. Shan's dark and boundless eyes, she felt that he still had something to say.Doctor Shan didn't intend to open the door either.The two stood silently, looking at each other without squinting.

"Go and open the door first." Just when Xie Moji thought that Dr. Shan was going to ignore the knock on the door to the end, he turned his head and pointed at the door, and said softly.

Xie Moji nodded, and went to open the door obediently.Outside the door was Yang Xiaorui, who was carrying a bag of chestnuts and looked excited.Seeing Xie Moji, he complained loudly: "Bring you delicious food, you are still so slow."

"I..." Xie Moji didn't know what to say, and he didn't dare to look back at Dr. Shan.Seeing her unnatural expression, Yang Xiaorui already guessed a little bit, looked behind her suspiciously, and immediately understood it, and said with a smile: "So you have guests. By the way, is Dr. Zuo here?" What she asked was Xie Moji, but she looked at Shan Wangchen standing quietly behind her without blinking.

"He's still in the hospital, and he's on day shift today. If you need anything, you can call him at night." Shan Wangchen replied politely.

"Okay, then you go on, you go on, I'm leaving." Yang Xiaorui nodded and bowed a few words, and ran away in a hurry.

After she left, Xie Moji closed the door again.Doctor Shan remained motionless and maintained the standing posture just now, staring at a certain point in the front right with dark eyes.Xie Moji held his breath and walked over slowly, hooked his hand, and asked in a low voice: "Just now... did you have something to say to me?"

Doctor Shan nodded, pulled Xie Moji to sit down on the edge of the bed, and said in a low voice: "There are many things about me that you don't understand. But I can't tell you all at once. What I want to say is that when you As I approach, if you find that I am not what you imagined, you can leave at any time."

"You mean..." The sudden happiness caught Xie Moji by surprise, her eyes were dimmed, her fingertips were deeply embedded in the bed sheet, and she didn't even feel the pain.
