Chapter 48:
Jiang Xu came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and saw Tang Ke leaning on the balcony with his elbows in his arms, looking like he was pleading guilty. He bypassed Tang Ke and threw the clothes into the washing machine, and heard him say quietly, "Shen Fangyu's calls are all coming to me."
Jiang Xu paused when he pressed the power switch, and after a long while, he closed the top cover of the washing machine, adjusted the water level and mode, and pressed the start button. Soon there was the sound of water inside, and he turned to Tang Ke and said, "He thinks I'm going to beat the child. It's to hug the dean's thigh."
He sat on the sofa and took a sip of hot water, "For so many years, even if I doubted his medical skills, I never doubted his character." He lowered his eyes and said softly, "He actually thinks so much about me?" of."
Tang Ke sat beside him and patted Jiang Xu on the shoulder, "Did you misunderstand?"
"Are you speaking for him now?" Jiang Xu asked.
"No, I just think it's a bit strange," Tang Ke looked hesitantly, "I always feel that the Jiang Xu I know won't run away from home in the middle of the night because of a colleague who has not dealt with him for more than ten years. .”
He paused, and asked tentatively, "Are you really just angry with this sentence?"
Seeing that Jiang Xu didn't answer, he continued, "Or...are you looking for an excuse for something else?"
"You think too much." Jiang Xu interrupted him.
Tang Ke paused and didn't continue speaking.
After being silent for a while, Jiang Xu put the water glass on the coffee table, "I'm going to sleep, there is surgery tomorrow."
The door was closed, and the surface of the water cup was shaken to cause slight swaying water patterns, circles and circles, with slight ripples, gradually spreading and disappearing.
Tang Ke glanced at his back with a complicated expression.
There is nothing wrong with saying angry words between friends, and it is understandable for a deadly enemy to speak in anger. Tang can't believe that Jiang Xu and Shen Fangyu's bickering and quarrels in the past have never been more merciless than this.
There is one exception.
—If the person who speaks is someone who cares, hurtful words may become unforgivable.
Tang Ke didn't dare to guess anymore. He felt that he might be a little too sensitive. Probably Jiang Xu himself hadn't thought about it.
After adjusting his mood, he dialed Shen Fangyu's number again. The latter must have been waiting, and almost as soon as he dialed, the other party connected.
"Can I come over?"
Tang Ke walked to the balcony, closed the glass, and lowered his voice, "Have you thought about what to say?"
Shen Fangyu obviously had no answer.
"I didn't think about what to do here," Tang Ke said, "He's asleep. Pregnant people shouldn't stay up all night. There's no way for the hospital to be on night shift. Let him have a good rest today."
"…good."
Hearing the obviously disappointed tone on the other end of the phone, Tang Ke reached out to touch the curtain, sighed, and said, "Shen Fangyu, I've always bothered you because you didn't get along with Jiang Xu. Tell you a few more words."
"A year or two ago, a Gui Peisheng who came from below mentioned to Jiang Xu that he wanted to enter a private hospital. You know, Jiang Xu is very strict with students, and anyone who can help will help. At that time, he was so busy that he took the time to take that student and treated me to a meal, and asked him to learn from me."
"As a result, during the meal that day, that student was probably trying to flatter him, and deliberately said in front of him that your skills are not good enough. You can stand on equal footing with him because you will flatter the teacher, flatter the leader, and maybe even give it away. Little gift."
"At that time, Jiang Xu's face turned cold, and he criticized the student mercilessly, saying that his intentions of sowing dissension were not righteous, and the student was in a cold sweat. I guess he didn't expect it when he was flattering, you and Jiang Syria relationship is so bad, he can actually speak for you."
"Do you know what Jiang Xu said about you?" Tang Ke said: "He said that you are not that kind of person, and that you can get to where you are today because of your strength."
"Jiang Xu is not as good at dancing as you are, so he sees people as sincere and straightforward. You are too tactful and sophisticated. When looking at people, you first put on a filter that thinks you can see through everything. He hates you, but even if he hates you that much When you were young, he kept a clear line between public and private, and never doubted your character."
Shen Fangyu was silent for a long time before saying, "I don't doubt his character."
Looking at the cold moon outside the window, he was lying on the floor with a mattress. After Jiang Xu added a mattress for him, the floor became obviously softer, but the bed next to the floor was empty.
Shen Fangyu knew he shouldn't have said that possessiveness, so he uttered such angry words without hesitation.
It was just too sudden.
As long as he is allowed to slow down, he can suppress his selfishness, speak nicely to Jiang Xu, and even face any of his decisions more calmly, including getting rid of the child.
If he is given a little more time, he can even calmly accept the relationship with Jiang Xu back in the past, and continue to be rivals who compete with each other, instead of two fathers who live together for their children.
He knew that taking away the child was the right thing to do. They shouldn't have this kind of relationship in the first place, and that was the best choice for Jiang Xu.
But it was too sudden, Shen Fangyu didn't have time to hide his selfishness, and he didn't have time to think rationally.
Now Jiang Xu can get rid of this child at any time, and get rid of him too.
If it was a few months ago, when Jiang Xu had just found out that she was pregnant, it might have been a happy result for everyone, but now, Shen Fangyu didn't feel happy at all.
Shen Fangyu found it almost painful that he didn't want Jiang Xu to leave him, get married and start a family.
What he wants is not only for this child to stay, but what he wants most is for Jiang Xu to stay.
As they had been for a decade or so, they were each other's only rivals, and no one else could step in, and no one else could affect their rivalry.
Although he couldn't understand why he had such a strong desire to possess Jiang Xu.
In fact, Shen Fangyu never doubted that Jiang Xu would take the initiative to seek the relationship with the dean. It was nothing more than possessiveness, coupled with the anxiety of gain and loss, which made him unable to speak freely. Although such speculation is ugly, it is best to say The temptation to export, otherwise let him ask Jiang Xu: Do you want to get rid of me?
He didn't expect Jiang Xu to be so angry.
"Tell him I was wrong, I'm sorry," Shen Fangyu let out a breath slowly: "I shouldn't have said those words, and I shouldn't have been drinking."
Once he was drunk and made a fuss about the child, Jiang Xu was **** off, and when he was drunk again, Jiang Xu was also **** off.
"Tell him not to take it to heart," Shen Fangyu looked at the lonely pink rabbit on Jiang Xu's bed, and closed his eyes: "Is that okay?"
Jiang Xu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth after Tang Ke relayed Shen Fangyu's apology in the morning, "Next time you can just record it, and don't need to retell it emotionally."
"I don't think that's unusual," Tang Ke said, "That's Shen Fangyu. I've known him for so many years, but I've never heard him speak in such a low voice." Let’s play this sound for all the students in our class to listen to, so we won’t be surprised.”
Tang Ke couldn't help asking: "Jiang Xu, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour him?"
Jiang Xu raised his eyelids, not knowing how to answer Tang Ke. He was also surprised that Shen Fangyu would say so many apologies to him. Fortunately, Tang Ke just sighed casually, and didn't mean to listen to the reason, so Jiang Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
After washing up, he habitually sat down on the dining table. When he sat down, he realized that this was not his family's table. The table was empty, and there was no breakfast that Shen Fangyu bought.
His eating habits are not very good. In the past, he always skipped a meal for breakfast. He often skipped it when he lost his appetite. It was only after Shen Fangyu moved into his house that he was forced to eat breakfast every day.
It is really strange to say that, in fact, Jiang Xu has formed a new habit within a few days.
After hesitating for a while, he asked Tang Ke, "What do you usually eat in the morning?"
"I'm going to eat in the canteen of the hospital," Tang Ke knew nothing about his thoughts, "Let me tell you that the canteen of our hospital is delicious, much better than that of Medical University A."
Jiang Xu: "..."
He picked up his briefcase and chose to return to his old life.
Last night he was so angry and emotionally ups and downs that he was afraid of accidents while driving, so he took a taxi directly. Jiang Xu deliberated for a moment between taking a taxi home to pick up the car and taking a taxi directly to the hospital, and decisively chose to take a taxi to the hospital .
Because of Shen Fangyu, he didn't even want to see his own neighborhood for the time being.
Tang Ke’s home is a little far from Jihua. When Jiang Xu entered the office, many colleagues had already arrived. Those who made coffee made coffee, and those who ate breakfast had breakfast. The atmosphere in the No. 2 office this morning was very lively. Discussing yesterday's shocking article by Kenn.
"Brother Xu," Yu Sang greeted him when he saw him coming, "Did you read the article yesterday?"
Jiang Xu's gaze swept across Shen Fangyu's seat. The two of them were sitting on the farthest corner of the office. From his angle, he could only see Shen Fangyu's back. When Yu Sang called him, Shen Fangyu didn't look back.
"Look." After Jiang Xu finished speaking, he sat back in his seat and put down his briefcase, only to find soy milk and steamed buns on the table.
He recognized it at a glance, it was the packaging of the breakfast shop downstairs from his house.
"We're all talking about this today," Yu Sang was still whispering in his ear, "I don't know if I don't check it. I was shocked when I checked it. I didn't expect that there were men who gave birth to children. It's just that the few cases that can be found are from foreign countries." Yes, the previous surgery failed, but yesterday’s article succeeded.”
He said: "Why do you think we haven't encountered this kind of case? Is it also related to the genetics of the race?"
Jiang Xu looked at Yu Sang silently.
It probably has nothing to do with the genetics of the race. There are also such cases in China, and now this case is standing in front of his eyes.
He ignored Yu Sang's words and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"No, the breakfast in the cafeteria is too bad, I'll just drink some coffee." As expected of the student who has been with him for the longest time, Yu Sang has learned Jiang Xu's bad habits by ten percent.
Jiang Xu put the soybean milk steamed buns on Yu Sang's table together, "Let's eat."
"Wow!" Yu Sang said, "Mr. Jiang, you are too kind." Without thinking about it, he picked up the soy milk and drank two big gulps. "What day is it today? You actually brought me breakfast."
Before Jiang Xu could make a sound, there was a sudden knock on the door of the office, and the doctors who were making jokes put down their things one after another and looked over, and saw that it was Director Cui.
"Good morning, Director."
Everyone greeted each other.
Director Cui responded with a smile, "I just heard you guys discussing yesterday's article at the door, and you are very motivated to study!"
As the top hospital in the country, Jihua Hospital will organize discussions on the latest scientific research progress. Before the group meeting, colleagues will also communicate with each other when they are free, not to mention that this case is unheard of. Everyone's interest Both are very high.
"Jiang Xu, Shen Fangyu." Director Cui called.
The two said at the same time: "Yes."
Suddenly hearing Shen Fangyu's voice overlapping with his, Jiang Xu pursed his lips.
"What's the matter, Teacher Cui?" Shen Fangyu asked.
"Did you both read Kenn's article, and the video of the operation?"
Shen Fangyu: "Look."
This time, in order not to collide with Shen Fangyu's voice, Jiang Xu deliberately paused for a second before replying: "Look."
"That's right," Director Cui nodded with satisfaction, "Take some time to prepare, and all departments will hold a meeting at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to organize the study of this case, and the two of you will make a report."
After she explained the task, she left in a hurry, and the quiet office resumed its bustle. Zhong Lan said with emotion: "It's also thanks to you two that the report is due in such a short time." She said: " It was eight or nine o'clock when the article came out last night, and the two of you watched the operation for more than four hours?"
It is worthy of being the king of the first volume of Jihua.
"I happened to see it." Jiang Xu said.
Shen Fangyu glanced at him, but didn't say that he actually watched it more than once last night.
Wu Rui smiled and took a sip of wolfberry tea, "It's a piece of cake for them."
Yu Sang was on the sidelines, "It's hard to say whether Dr. Shen can do it or not. Anyway, according to Brother Xu's personality, I guess he prepared the report last night, right?"
Zhang Cheng has had a good relationship with Shen Fangyu since he was studying, and he was upset when he heard this, "It doesn't mean that it's done well. Which new case was Fang Yu not the best in the past?"
"It's fine if you say yes?" Yu Sang confronted him, "I think Brother Xu's speech is better."
"That's because you have a problem with your eyesight." Zhang Cheng wanted to add more details. Shen Fangyu glanced at him. Zhang Cheng didn't understand the spirit at all. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight with Yu Sang. Xiaolongbao began to warm up.
Jiang Xu directly raised his hand and dragged him back to his seat to fix him. Shen Fangyu stood up and stopped the hot-blooded Zhang Cheng behind him, and walked straight to Jiang Xu's side in a few steps.
"What are you doing, want to fight?" Yu Sang watched Shen Fangyu staring straight at the steamed bun in his hand, and hurriedly protected Jiang Xu who didn't need his protection.
"Come here, I have something to tell you." Shen Fangyu said.
Jiang Xu glanced at him indifferently, and pushed Yu Sang who was standing in front of him away. When the two walked out of the office door together, Yu Sang was still behind him shouting and cheering, "Brother Xu, come on and beat him!"
"You have a bit of a doctor image, okay? Don't ruin our Jihua's reputation," Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes at him, then turned his head and shouted to the door: "Shen Fangyu, you can't beat Jiang Xu, you're not a man."
Jiang Xu and Shen Fangyu: "..."
After closing the door without a word, Shen Fangyu asked, "Why don't you have breakfast?"
"have eaten."
Shen Fangyu had an expression of I believe you, "I can't do anything with you if you want to go elsewhere. You are in the hospital right now. Come with me to find Xiaoting to test your blood sugar. If you really eat me Say absolutely nothing."
"No."
"going or not?"
"No."
"Your stomach problem is caused by you not eating breakfast. If you are angry with me, don't let your body suffer?"
Shen Fangyu grabbed Jiang Xu's wrist, Jiang Xu clasped his fingers with his backhand, the thin lens reflected sharp light, "Is it okay?"
"I don't care what's wrong with you?"
"Mind yourself."
Jiang Xu now extremely suspects that Shen Fangyu last night was a fake, or there was something wrong with Tang Ke's retelling, and he didn't know how much oil and vinegar was added.
He knew that Shen Fangyu would always look like this, and it was impossible for him to succumb to him.
"Doctor Shen, do your report well." He said, "You don't have to worry about what I eat or do."
The hour hand approached the number eight step by step, and the students who were waiting for the big rounds began to approach the corridor of the office door one after another. Jiang Xu glared at Shen Fangyu, shook off Shen Fangyu's hand, turned and walked back to the office.
Yu Sang immediately grabbed his wrist and asked, "Who won the quarrel?"
Jiang Xu picked up the folder and pen, and walked out without looking back. Yu Sang followed in a daze, while Zhang Cheng gloated, "That must be—"
Just as he was talking, the pen was suddenly taken away from his chest, "Shen Fangyu!" He stared at the back of the culprit and said angrily, "You still grabbed the pen after the quarrel?"
Shen Fangyu turned his back to him and waved, "I lost the fight."
Zhang Cheng clutched his chest pocket and comforted the only pen left. Hearing this, he was even more aggrieved, "If you lose the fight, go and grab Jiang Xu's pen, why are you grabbing mine!"
The two deputy chief physicians who made the rounds were once again separated by the corridor, passing each other without looking sideways.
After returning from the room inspection, Jiang Xu was about to pack his things and go to the operating room, but Shen Fangyu stopped him again. He frowned and raised his eyes, and a bottle of glucose was stuffed into his palm.
"If you don't drink, don't even think about entering the operating room today."
"Shen Fangyu, are you a scoundrel?" Jiang Xu asked.
Shen Fangyu didn't answer him, but he didn't give way, and stood in front of him like a smiling tiger blocking the door.
Jiang Xu was too lazy to break up with him, quickly unscrewed the bottle cap and drank the glucose in a few gulps, his eyes fell on Shen Fangyu's face through the lens, Shen Fangyu suddenly remembered the night they drank in Hell Bar .
That day Jiang Xu also looked at him with the same eyes, but the light was dim, so he didn't see the little mole under his eyes.
The palm of his hand sank suddenly, Shen Fangyu came back to his senses, Jiang Xu stuffed the empty glass bottle into his hand, "Can you get out?"
He made a way out, and Jiang Xu walked past him. The moment he passed by, Shen Fangyu suddenly called him, "Jiang Xu."
Jiang Xu turned his head impatiently, Shen Fangyu turned his head to look at him, stuffed something into his pocket, then looked at his nose, nose and heart, and left with the pocket seemingly unintentionally, Jiang Xu took out the things in the pocket , his eyes suddenly froze.
It was a handwritten letter... or rather, a letter of self-criticism.
"Hahahahahahahaha!" Tang Ke held Shen Fangyu's self-criticism book, and laughed out of breath, "What virtue and power do I have, I can see Shen Fangyu's self-criticism in my lifetime!"
He picked up the official paper in a serious manner: "The self-criticism—I, Shen Fangyu, said something that made Jiang Xu angry when I was drunk last night, so here is a self-criticism..."
After Tang Ke read the first line, Jiang Xu snatched a stack of thick letter paper. The letterhead of Jihua Hospital Affiliated to A Medical University was printed on the red and white official paper. It was rare for Shen Fangyu to write neatly. Without the doctor's scribbles at all, he wrote five pages full, and finally attached a surgical plan.
"Jiang Xu," Tang Ke said, "you took a photo of this letter and posted it on your Moments. The dispute between you two for so many years can be regarded as the winner." Wrote a review."
"Is there an envelope?"
"Yes, yes." Tang Ke brought him the envelope, and Jiang Xu stuffed the five pages of paper back neatly, put them in the briefcase, and took out the surgery plan attached at the back.
Before they quarreled last night, Shen Fangyu originally said that he would make the operation arrangement tonight and discuss it with him. The review letter and operation arrangement were given to him by Shen Fangyu in the morning. Jiang Xu reckoned that he didn't sleep much last night. .
What is the picture.
"Hey, let me tell you," Tang Ke flipped through the operation arrangement report, "Shen Fangyu has already written you a review, so don't argue with him, why don't you just say an angry word, take advantage of his hand, and you still have to deal with it now." Waiting for him to operate on you."
Jiang Xu lowered his eyelashes.
"What's your reaction?" Tang Ke was stunned, "Jiang Xu...you wouldn't...change your mind?"
He understood Jiang Xu's character. If Jiang Xu didn't really want this child, he probably would have rushed to discuss the operation arrangement with Shen Fangyu yesterday. He recalled his attitude when he called Jiang Xu last night... He thought Jiang Xu's reaction was not so excited, because he was cold-tempered, or he was too shocked and happy for a while, so he didn't behave so outwardly.
Now it seems…
"It's only been more than a month, Jiang Xu." Tang Ke still remembered how Jiang Xu, who had just found out she was pregnant, asked him over and over again about the progress of the magazine more than a month ago.
"What do you mean now? You are going to give birth to a child?" Tang Ke said, "Do you know what this means to you?"
Jiang Xu paused, "I know."
Tang Ke looked at him with some concern, "What happened? You have always acted swiftly and decisively, so you shouldn't have such an indecisive character."
"Tang Ke, give me some time," he pressed the space between his eyebrows, "I just need to reconfirm my thoughts."
