Chapter 18: Thinking about the day he left

But the cross is unable to go, both eventually resigned themselves to their fate and returned to the camp.

The four eyes can only make small talk.

This shows that Adam and Eve are not necessarily love each other, probably because there is really no other candidate, they can not always talk to the serpent in the tree.

Qingcheng Xie : "Kid."

Other than Qingcheng Xie, no one else has ever called Yu He a kid.

And the use of this title more or less implies that Qingcheng Xie is planning to communicate with Yu He at this time.

Yu He turned his head sideways: "Hmm?"

"...... your hand is healed?"

"It's healed." Yu He smiled, "Why does Dr. Xie care about the injury on my hand? You couldn't wait to give me another cut at the police station that day."

"...you know I really don't want to hear about the past anymore."

"Then do you know that I really wanted to say sorry to you that day?"

"......" Qingcheng Xie lifted his eyes.

Yu He still wears a smile, but looks at him with a cold gaze: "That's how I speak, Qingcheng Xie. I didn't lack apologies that day, let alone what you said about capitalists speaking. I grew up with you all asking me to control my emotions. Have you resigned for so long that you have forgotten what you said to me before with your own mouth."

A few moments of silence.

Then Qingcheng Xie said, "I did quit a long time ago."

"Four years."

Qingcheng Xie : "...... haven't been able to ask you properly. Now, how is the disease."

"Much better."

Yu He smiled again after saying, "You don't have to worry, no matter how I see you personally, I agree with your medical philosophy and I take your teachings to my heart all the time."

Qingcheng Xie looked at the cold-faced youth in front of him: "That's good. Your illness requires you to help yourself. No matter which doctor you change, the most important thing is your own mentality."

Yu He was quiet for a while and smiled down: "Listen to this, why does this sound so familiar?

"Ah." He paused, a coldness flooding his eyes, "Come to think of it. That's what you said to me once. I still remember it, Dr. Shea."

"It's the day you left, right? ......"

It was on the day Qingcheng Xie left the company.

Before that day, Yu He and Xue Xie finished reading books together in the library and it was raining, so Yu He walked Xue Xie home with an umbrella.

"Thank you oh, for walking with me so much."

"It's okay."

"Want to come inside and sit for a while, although my house is quite small ......"

"Won't it bother you?"

"Why not? I was afraid you wouldn't be used to it." Xue Xie smiled, took Yu He's hand and headed for the alley where he was going home.

Qingcheng Xie is not at home, but Ruoqiu Li is.

The woman was sitting at her desk, messaging with someone, with some restrained smile on her face, even the little sister entered the room without raising her eyes, only casually said: " Xue Xie is back."

Yu He and Ruoqiu Li, who had not met much, entered the house and politely said, "Sister Li, excuse me."

Ruoqiu Li was startled to hear his voice and looked up, "...... Ah, your guest, your guest. Sit down quickly."

She got up hastily and was going to make them tea.

Yu He smiled: "Sister-in-law, don't be busy, I'll just send Xue Xie home and leave soon."

"How can this be, sit down and I'll go get you both a snack."

She twisted around and went.

Xue Xie said quietly: "Sister-in-law is quite nice and enthusiastic, you refuse her, she will be angry instead."

Ruoqiu Li is indeed a very strong character woman, from the few brief contacts with her, Yu He can feel it. The most important thing is that no woman would want to marry Qingcheng Xie, a fatherly and indifferent man.

He sat down, Huzhou The old house in the alley is very cramped, a through room, separated by a curtain. The boys in junior high school have grown taller and taller, and what they should know and what they should not know, they have all understood.

This was the first time he had entered Qingcheng Xie's private domain. His eyes glanced over the interior furnishings and paused for a moment on the double bed, half hidden by a curtain, with a subtle feeling.

It's hard to imagine Qingcheng Xie and Ruoqiu Li doing those things.

Yu He politely averted his eyes.

"Here's the tea, come on, and the snacks, I don't know if you're used to eating them." Ruoqiu Li smiled as she took care of things around the house, bringing a pot of hot tea and pastries, and a plate of cut fruit on the tray, "Try it, I baked the dim sum myself."

"You are so kind, sister-in-law."

Ruoqiu Li hid her mouth and smiled, her eyes taking turns to look at Yu He and Xue Xie.

Although the two boys are a few years apart, but boys grow up very quickly when they reach puberty, Yu He is not wearing a school uniform today, just a black autumn turtleneck, jeans, wearing a baseball cap, already close to 180cm height makes him look not so much like a junior high school boy.

He sat next to Xue Xie, who was a few years older than him, and his height and appearance were actually a good match.

The room was quiet for a moment.

Xue Xie : "......"

Yu He : "......"

Ruoqiu Li : "......"

After a few seconds, Ruoqiu Li puffed a smile, did not hold back, waved his hand: "You guys talk, you guys talk, I'll go up to Aunt Li's house to sit for a while."

"Hey." Xue Xie said, "Sister-in-law-"

Ruoqiu Li has tingled and slimmed away.

The kind of aunt smile before she left, fools know what she thought, Xue Xie immediately some embarrassment, the small face has been visible speed flushed.

"That, sorry ah Yu He, my sister-in-law she this person like to watch idol drama, she looked at it, she saw what she are prone to think more."

"It's okay." Yu He lowered his eyes and drank a sip of warm tea, he felt Ruoqiu Li's misunderstanding made him quite flattered and smiled, "I don't care."

He originally liked Xue Xie, Ruoqiu Li misunderstood nothing at all.

"By the way, your brother is not on duty tomorrow, but he is coming to my house to take care of something, do you want to come with him? When he's done with his business, I'll take you to a barbecue."

As soon as Xue Xie heard that there was something to eat, she happily agreed.

However, when Yu He came home that night, he found the light on in the living room, pushed the door in, and Zhishu Lv was sitting in the room reading the newspaper.

Yu He was a bit surprised.

Zhishu Lv and Jiwei He are usually away from home. The He family had two permanent residences, one in Huzhou and one in Yanzhou. The one in Yanzhou was the main house, and Yu He only lived there until he was five years old, when he was taken to the south. Unlike his younger brother, who had to study and was used to fighting with the local fop friends, Yu He had a heart attack when he saw his all-round brother, so he stayed almost exclusively at the main house.

The two brothers live across the river, and when their parents are free, they naturally prefer to spend time with his sweet, innocent baby brother, and rarely come to spend time with him unless there is something going on.

"...... What brings you back?"

"Just finished an errand." Zhishu Lv put down the newspaper and said to his eldest son, "Sit down, there's something I want to tell you."

The boy in his junior year put down his school bag, took off his shoes and walked in, and his mother needed to look up at him.

Yu He drops his eyelashes: "You tell me."

Zhishu Lv poured himself a glass of red wine and took a sip before saying, "Tomorrow is the last day Dr. Xie will come to see you. After this, he will no longer be our family's personal doctor."

Yu He did not expect such a thing and was stunned.

After a long time, he heard himself seemingly calmly: "...... how so suddenly."

"Hmm. Didn't tell you earlier, afraid you'd find out and get tangled up."

"...... Why?"

Zhishu Lv did not answer this question of his directly, but said, "The money is already in the process of being settled, and tomorrow he will hand things over to me and will also say hello to you. But after this-"

She took another sip of wine: "You should just stop hanging out with their family more."

"......"

"Do you understand what I mean? We are not in the same class, I sent Lao Zhao to pick you up this afternoon and he told me that you went to Moyu Lane Dr. Xie's house as a guest and were with his sister." Zhishu Lv sighed, "To be honest, you kind of disappoint me. Mengmu moved three times to choose a neighbor, and when parents want their sons to be surrounded by some agreeable companions."

She looked at the boy's already long and tall body, and then her eyes moved up to Yu He's already handsome face.

"Especially with female companions."

There was a long silence in the living room.

Then Yu He asked, "Is this what Dr. Xie meant?"

"It was his idea to leave, it was my idea to keep you away from their house." Zhishu Lv admitted it openly, piled up a smile, walked up to Yu He, raised his hand to tilt his head, and smoothed his forehead hair back.

"But I think, and I mean this in the same way that Dr. Xie does, that he wouldn't want to end a period of work and then be unnecessarily associated with someone else. He's a particularly sober person, which is one of the reasons your father and I both admire and trust him."

"......"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself tomorrow."

......

The next day, Qingcheng Xie came.

After all the procedures were completed, he gave him one last monitoring of his condition, and then Qingcheng Xie spoke lightly to the boy lying in the treatment chair, "Your mother should have talked to you."

Yu He : "......"

"As of tomorrow, I won't be at your house."

"In the future, if you are uncomfortable with anything, don't choose to distract attention by self-harming as you did before. And, no matter which doctor changes to see you, remember that the most important thing is always your own mind."

The young doctor said these words without any personal emotions, as expected -

Zhishu Lv is right, in Qingcheng Xie's mind, the boundary between him and Yu He has always been very clear. The two families are not from the same world at all. Yu He is the youngest son of the He family, the son of Jiwei He.

And he was just a doctor hired by their family.

For Yu He, it would not be good to keep relying on a doctor to ease the spiritual dilemma.

Qingcheng Xie is very calm, and he knows it very well.

He can give care, support and give strong moral encouragement to his patients, but when it's time to say goodbye, he won't have any lingering. He has always handled the doctor-patient relationship with such crispness and cleanliness that he finally just said, "...... well brat, then I wish you a speedy recovery and wellness."

The boy whose puberty had just arrived suppressed the fire in his heart and looked at him, "...... don't you have anything else to say to me?"

"......"

After waiting for a while, no response from Qingcheng Xie.

Yu He said, "Good. You don't have it, I do."

"......"

" Qingcheng Xie , I have experienced many doctors over the years who have put me on medication, given me injections, and looked at me with the same eyes as an independent patient. Only you are different."

"It's true that I don't like you, but I took your words completely to heart."

"Because you're the only one who would treat me like I'm someone who should fit in. You told me that the shots and medication weren't the most important thing, that going to connect with others and building a strong heart was the only way I could hang in there."

Yu He paused for a moment: "Dr. Xie, although I'm not too close to you, I ......"

"......"

"I ......"

Yu He said here, half a day can not continue, a pair of almond eyes stared at Qingcheng Xie's face.

"I thought you weren't just looking at me as a patient, you were also looking at me as a normal person with feelings."

"I do treat you like a normal person with feelings."

"So you're just going to walk away all of a sudden?" The junior high school boy's physique has grown, and when he carries some anger, his aura is actually scary and already oppressive, "Is this how normal people relate to each other?"

Qingcheng Xie was quiet for a moment: " Yu He . I know you feel that this matter is very sudden, originally I really should inform you in advance, but I have communicated with both your parents, especially your father, he is considered my old acquaintance and my employer, I must respect his wishes first without violating my principles ......"

"And what do I mean?"

Qingcheng Xie said, "I'm just a doctor."

"I'm your employer too, right?" Yu He stared at him, "And you didn't ask my opinion."

"......" Qingcheng Xie sighed, "Get a grip on yourself, young man. I mean no disrespect, but you're still a student and the price to hire me is not something you can afford."

Yu He also does not know how to think, he was already very calm at that time, in the midst of adult entertainment, even able to enter and exit properly, without losing their manners.

But when he thought that Qingcheng Xie and Xue Xie were leaving, he suddenly became helpless again and blurted out, "I have a lot of pocket money, I can--"

"Save it for the cake."

"......"

Qingcheng Xie said to him rationally, "I'm not a piece of cake that your father won't buy for you so you can find your own way to get it at your own expense. I came to see you, in large part, because of his favor. I can't go against his will, do you understand?"

"Why must he want you to go?"

"He didn't ask me to leave." Qingcheng Xie said, "It was me who wanted to leave. Didn't you just ask me if leaving like this is a normal end of relationship between people?"

Qingcheng Xie looked into Yu He's eyes.

"Yes."

"Even though you are also a normal person with feelings in my eyes, what I have established with you is a doctor-patient relationship, and all human relationships are in stages, and even your closest parents cannot accompany you through your whole life."

Qingcheng Xie paused for a moment: "Now that my doctor-patient relationship with you has come to an end, then I should go. This is between normal people and normal people, a very normal end of the relationship."

"......"

"The time that your father and I originally agreed upon, which is this seven years."

Qingcheng Xie said here, looking again into Yu He's eyes: "Your illness, at this stage is no longer suitable for someone to continue to accompany you like this. Sooner or later, you will have to rely on yourself to get out of the shadow inside you. Do you understand?"

"...... So you, like my mother, think that after today, there will be no need for unnecessary contact between us, between Xue Xie and me, is that right?"

Qingcheng Xie : "Whenever you need our help, you can contact us."

After a pause: "Other times, there really isn't much need."

"......"

"Also, your mother told me about you and Xue Xie hanging out alone a lot." Qingcheng Xie says, "I, as her parent, really didn't think that was appropriate either."

He said here, surveyed the boy who read junior high school, decent and calmly said: "I know your age difference is very big, and you are just a dependence on her, and nothing else. But after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some bad words, for you to her, are not good."

Yu He did not correct his too old-fashioned and too naive idea, but simply said, "So you agree with my mother's approach."

"I agree."

Yu He stared at him for a long time, and then he leaned back in his chair, supporting his face, and smiled softly, the smile was like a cloud covering the sun, and he could not easily bare an inch of his heart to cover up tightly.

Yu He smiled and said, "Doctor, you are really ...... calm to the point that you are not sick, but more heartless than I am."

"Good. Since you have put it this way, you go."

"I will remember what you said and save myself very calmly and live very calmly, and I wish you a straightforward career and a smooth journey in the future."

"But--"

The conversation took a turn.

" Xue Xie although she is your sister, she also has her freedom, no matter what you say, I will still go to her."

Qingcheng Xie frowned and his gaze became stern: "She is a girl and you are fourteen years old, you are a bit distant. Why do you have to follow her?"

"Because she's not like you."

Light and shadow cut a line on the ground, and they were in the middle of light and darkness, like pieces that were folded in half. Yu He said, "She is the only bridge that connects me to the world."

Qingcheng Xie was silent for a moment: "Then you should find another one."

When the time came, he had some business to attend to and couldn't say anything more to Yu He, so he left.

On that day, Yu He sat in his chair, not moving a muscle.

From dusk, to late at night.

Yu He thought, Qingcheng Xie is actually a very tactful person.

Qingcheng Xie's speech always made sense. He was the one who told him that he wanted him to think of himself as a normal person, and he was the one who told him that people can get out of their inner shadows by themselves.

He even gave him the illusion that Yu He felt that even if he was close to Xue Xie, Qingcheng Xie, as an older brother, would be able to accept him.

But this day, he knew from Qingcheng Xie's choice that he was overthinking it.

The employment relationship is really the most innocent and simple kind of human relationships, whether it lasts ten years or twenty years, when the relationship ends, you can money and goods, no half human entanglement, who does not owe anyone.

A private doctor who gets paid to do his job and walks away without profit.

Qingcheng Xie is not special in any way compared to the doctors of the past. He was even more cruel than the other doctors who saw him as an alien, because he had lied to him the longest and taken the most profit from his blood and pain. He was the one who made him believe that the relationship he had built would last forever, the one who made him believe that his love for Xue Xie would be accepted by his parents.

But he was all wrong.

Yu He thought about this old story and looked at Qingcheng Xie's face.

After so many years, Qingcheng Xie is still the eldest brother of the Xie family, in the end, nothing has changed.

He still doesn't want Xue Xie to be alone with him, and still stands in front of his sister as a very domineering and dictatorial protector - even the words that exhort him to think outside the box are exactly the same.

Qingcheng Xie is perhaps a very good doctor, with a medical philosophy worthy of his name, a fair mind, and a responsibility to his patients.

But unfortunately, he has no heart.

"Still thinking about the old days?"

Qingcheng Xie's voice brought him back from his memories.

Yu He came back to his senses and said, "...... you mentioned it, and I thought about it. When you think about it, it's really unlikely that you remember what attitude I used to have when I spoke."

Yu He finally laughed: "After all, we're just a doctor-patient relationship that's over, am I right?"

Qingcheng Xie did not answer, but at that moment, the sky suddenly lit up with a light, followed by a "bang", the night of fireworks in full bloom.

The annual garden party always ends with this overly splendid flower fire as the grand finale.

Several shocks and a million flowers.

Qingcheng Xie said, "Yes."

In the midst of this glow, there was a sudden rumble of muffled thunder - a rain shower. The fireworks, which are blazing and gentle by nature, were no match for the lightning, which was so strong and cold that it soon gave up the fight. In the distance, students laughed and fled into the buildings or dormitories to escape the rain, and the soybean-sized rain crackled and fell in the lively dusty world.

Yu He still maintained that thin smile in the darkening sky and said, "Then let's take shelter from the rain together Dr. Xie. I want to analyze it according to your so sober thinking, besides the doctor-patient relationship, now you are still my teacher's brother, if you get wet, I can't account for it in front of her."

After a pause, still somewhat sarcastically: "Two people who have ended the doctor-patient relationship, hiding from the rain together belongs to normal behavior, no transgression or disorder, right?"

Qingcheng Xie knew that he was still resisting himself in his heart.

But Qingcheng Xie had no more patience and tolerance to coax him, and said coldly, "Right."

Yu He smiled, "There is a cave ahead, please go ahead."

.

Yu He and Qingcheng Xie were looking for a place to escape the rain on the island, while the seniors were still working diligently to get paid to guard the entrance and keep the other participants away from the garden.

The seniors thought that at this point, everyone should also play almost, it is unlikely that anyone so boring, but also all the way to Neverland to cover a stamp, so the mind relaxed a lot.

"Gee, this is a lot of rain." He sat emotionally in the duck boat and looked triflingly towards the island, hoping to see something.

But the distance is too far, he only vaguely saw Yu He and a slender person together, his nearsightedness, can not see too clearly, it seems that the beauty is quite tall, estimated to be almost one meter eight, do not know whether to step on a high heels.

I think Shao He's taste is really unique, he likes such tall girls.

Ugh ...... capitalist life is really enviable.

He thought about it, are a little itchy up, quite want to know now raining, the island that two people are how to get along, they both went up without umbrellas, Dream Island is only a cave, usually very few students go, and is the school surveillance layout of the blind spot. I heard that some couples especially like to come to this cave in the middle of the night to play the field, he estimated, with Yu He such looks this family, and also spent so much effort to chase that 180 beauty, that now must have won.

Do you want to send a text message to sell a set to the capitalists?

The seniors thought and felt out their cell phones.

Confession night home run, that's what fits this fast-paced life nowadays, isn't it?

The senior then began to edit the message and intended to send it to Yu He's unblocked cell phone, to make the capital wool.

"Boss He, there is a first aid box in the island cave, there are several boxes of contraceptive/contraceptive condoms in the second layer of the box, if you need them, go to the box and look for them, remember to send me a red packet when you use them ......"
