scalpel, soft around fingers

Chapter 30

"I mean, if you are willing to accept me, I can't wait for it." Shan Wangchen gently grabbed Xie Moji's hand on the bed sheet, and when he saw her whitish knuckles and red fingertips, he pointed with his thumb He rubbed his stomach lightly for a moment.Then he patted her stiff shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Would you like to lie down and let me buy you some stomach medicine?"

"No, no. I'm fine now." Xie Moji said hastily, but his brain hadn't fully reacted yet.When I stood up and saw his fair and unhealthy face, thinking of Dr. Zuo's explanation yesterday, I felt a little anxious, and I held his hand and said, "Can you rest with me?"

"Okay!" Dr. Shan agreed readily.

Xie Moji took off his shoes and suddenly wanted to slap himself.What do you mean you rest with me, don't you just mean sleeping together?Why do you want to volunteer like this?It was only a minute before he responded to his confession.But seeing that they are about to get straight to the point, this rhythm...

She lay down on the bed slowly, and peeked at Dr. Shan, who was drawing the curtains.The light in the room dimmed, and even his expression blurred.

Soon, he lay down next to Xie Moji, hugged Xie Moji lightly, and said, "Don't worry, sleep. I'm always here."

Looking at the bleak but sharp-edged face beside the pillow, Xie Moji had mixed feelings.She didn't dare to forget Dr. Zuo's order, so she reached out and patted Dr. Shan's back, and begged, "You sleep together, too, okay?" Some motherhood is overflowing.

"Well. I'm really tired. I may sleep for a long time once I fall asleep. If you have something to do, wake me up." He looked at her sideways.After getting her affirmative response, he closed his eyes in peace.Xie Moji also closed his eyes, but his mind was terribly awake, no amount of hypnosis would work.

After a while, just as she began to wonder whether to turn around and find a more comfortable position, Dr. Shan moved, and wrapped his arms around her waist casually.Warm breath rushed to her face.She opened her eyes cautiously, and found that his eyes were still closed, with long eyelashes, as cute as a porcelain doll.

"Can't sleep?" He asked softly, with a smile in his voice.

"I fall asleep easily." She didn't dare to move at all, and closed her eyes consciously after speaking.

Doctor Shan didn't say anything more.After a few minutes, the sound of even breathing sounded.Xie Moji turned his head to look at him, and he really fell asleep.And fell asleep right away.How tired is he?There was a pain in her heart.

Xie Moji was woken up by the noise outside the window.

She looked at the time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.Unexpectedly, I slept for six hours in one sleep.The people around him were still lying with their eyes closed, their faces peaceful and serene.Xie Moji didn't dare to disturb him, so he got up on tiptoe to close the window.

The window was half closed, and someone bound her waist from behind.The magnetic and clean male voice said close to her ear, "Does your stomach still feel uncomfortable?"

Xie Moji's face was slightly hot, and he felt a little dreamy.After she closed the window, she said in a low voice that she was fine.

The hand around her was tightened again, and there was a burst of hot air pressing down on her scalp. "I have to go back." He whispered, his tone a little hot. "It will be stationed soon, and there are still some preparations to be completed. I will keep my mobile phone on. Call me if you have anything to do."

"Okay. I'm fine. You can work at ease, and remember to have a good rest." Xie Moji turned around and grabbed his slightly bent arm.Through a ray of light in the crack of the curtain, he could clearly see that his eyes were resting on himself.The heart beat faster for no reason.

"Well. Take care of yourself." He let go of her, put on his coat, and walked towards the door.

"Doctor Shan!" Xie Moji shouted softly, feeling a little bit reluctant in the end.He was still thinking about what Lu Yu said.If you don't ask him now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to ask him in the near future.But now I ask, is it really appropriate?What is the relationship between him and Lu Yu's friend?Will he really harass her?
"Huh?" Shan Wangchen turned his head, glanced at her with a smile, and said in a dissatisfied tone, "You shouldn't be called Doctor Shan anymore."

"Oh. Wangchen." She turned her mouth easily without feeling awkward.

"I'm leaving." Shan Wangchen walked to the door, turned the handle, and opened the door.

"...Goodbye!" Xie Moji watched him leave.In the end, I still couldn't ask.She had just established a relationship with him, and she really didn't want to be considered a narrow-minded woman by him.

A few days later, the epidemic broke out in city B.

The number of infections has reportedly surged to more than [-].After working for several days, Zeng Liang and Xie Moji's spirits were seriously lacking.If it wasn't for Yang Xiaorui who often came to take their shifts, both of them would have been lying in the hospital at this time.But editor-in-chief Zhao has already issued a death order. For the sake of safety, no more personnel will be sent to City B to continue news coverage for the time being.The implication is that Xie Moji and the others have to continue until the epidemic eases.

This day Yang Xiaorui asked Zuo Xiaojian to have dinner together, and called Xie Moji and Zeng Liang.Xie Moji hadn't seen Dr. Zuo for a long time, and was startled the moment he saw him.The originally gentle face was completely sunken, and the chin was covered with thick stubble.

"So tired?" she asked Dr. Zuo.I couldn't help but think of another person, Dr. Zuo is like this, that person is busy with research and development, how haggard he should be.The more she thought about it, the more disturbed she became.I hurriedly sent a message to Dr. Shan, asking if he had a good rest.

"Xie Moji, I suggest that you intimidate Lao Dan and let him come out to see you if necessary." Zuo Xiaojian was gobbling, while not forgetting to call the girl beside him.When sneaking in from a busy schedule, there are colleagues in the gossip development team every day.It is said that there has been to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.He only needs to imagine, and the figure of that guy, Lao Shan, can gather in front of his eyes.

Xie Moji already understood what he meant, but unless it was absolutely necessary, she still didn't want to disturb Dr. Shan's work easily.It is said that it has entered a critical stage of vaccine development, and reports come out from time to time that booster injections have already been put into live test.Calling him out at such a juncture will not only make him feel sorry, but even himself will regret such a decision.

"Doctor Zuo, you are so skinny, it hurts to look at you." Yang Xiaorui kept staring at Dr. Zuo from the beginning of eating.

"Leaving the old one means that two labors are lost. Not only me, but everyone is like this." Zuo Xiaojian didn't care, and said with a smile.

"What kind of virus can be so powerful and evolve so quickly in a short period of time?" Zeng Liang asked.He has been paying attention to the new virus recently.

"We also find it strange. Such a powerful virus is very rare." Zuo Xiaojian said.

Xie Moji casually ate a few mouthfuls of food, looked at his phone, but Dr. Shan hadn't replied yet.So I became more and more worried about his physical safety.

"I saw someone on the Internet saying that the virus was probably brought back by the astronauts. Is it so miraculous?" Zeng Liang said mysteriously.His eyes moved back and forth on Zuo Xiaojian's body, trying to figure out something.

"This kind of question should be asked to Lao Shan, he always has a lot of wonderful ideas. You will be able to talk very well." Zuo Xiaojian seemed unwilling to entangle in this issue, and after a few words, he began to bury his head in hard work.

"Aren't scientists always hypothesizing boldly and verifying carefully? Doctor Shan is really handsome, isn't he, Mo Ji?" Yang Xiaorui said exaggeratedly, while teasing the silent Mo Ji with his eyes.

Although the food was rich, several people didn't enjoy eating to their heart's content.Yang Xiaorui is on the night shift today, and she has to report back to the agency to stay at night.She didn't eat much and said she was going back.As soon as she finished speaking, Zeng Liang offered to send her off, saying that he was going to the newspaper office to check the information.Yang Xiaorui looked at Zeng Liang, then at Dr. Zuo, and after a few seconds of being dazed, he smiled and said yes.

As soon as the two of them left, Xie Moji and Zuo Xiaojian also lost interest in eating any more.The two scrambled to pay the money and left the restaurant.Xie Moji originally planned to go back to the hotel alone, but Zuo Xiaojian insisted on seeing her off. "Being entrusted by others is a matter of loyalty. What's more, in the current epidemic situation, I still don't feel at ease when you go back as a girl." He said with a smile.

He spoke casually, so Xie Moji was too embarrassed to persist seriously.They wanted to take a taxi, but since the outbreak of the epidemic, there have been a lot fewer taxis on the street. If they can't wait, they can only walk back and take a walk.

"Xie Moji, Yin Xiangwei applied to come to City B. He happened to be assigned to work in Dr. Shan's research and development team. Do you have any ideas?" Zuo Xiaojian looked at her with a smile, obviously intending to tell her the news.

"Really?" Xie Moji was a little embarrassed, thinking of Yin Xiangwei's title of "Gossip Girl", he felt a little headache.

"You have to learn like you used to be." Zuo Xiaojian said with a smile, "Instagram kills your rival invisibly."

As soon as he said it, Xie Moji suddenly remembered the friend Lu Yu mentioned, and asked anxiously: "Is there anyone else who is close to Dr. Shan?" After she finished speaking, she felt a little discouraged.Now it seems that having a boyfriend like Doctor Shan is not a particularly wonderful thing.

"A while ago, an art troupe came to the hospital to give condolences to the performance. It seems that there is a woman who is a friend of Lao Shan. The relationship between the two seems to be good." Zuo Xiaojian said everything today.

Xie Moji thought, Lu Yu should be talking about her.After she made a judgment, her heart sank quickly.I can only comfort myself that at that time she and Dr. Shan were still two parallel lines.Doctor Shan can't make friends too much.But even so, she still felt uncomfortable listening to it.

"It seems to be called Xu Manjing." Zuo Xiaojian said thoughtfully.

Xu Manjing? XMJ...she easily associates her initials from her name.Sure enough, it was XMJ.From this point of view, the ring on Doctor Shan's neck was probably in memory of her.After thinking about it, her mood became even worse.I couldn't bear to take out my mobile phone to read the text message, and when I found that there was still no reply, I was extremely depressed.
