Chapter 3: Maybe people are already seeing someone.

Li Xuan turns around and walks away, skipping Xie Liang.

Xie Liang stared blankly at him as he left the hospital room, pointing towards Su Xingchuan, "It's really good-looking, so beautiful that you can't tell the difference between males and females, it's really a pity to be a man, if this face is paired with a beautiful woman's body, the people who are chasing after him will be able to line up from here to the Central Street."

"There were a lot of people after him in the beginning."

Before the words left his mouth, Xie Liang bammed, "What do you mean? You guys know each other?"

"Ex-boyfriend."

Xie Liang stumbled backward and hit his back against the door panel, "No wonder ...... I finally understand why you can't get over your first love."

He gave Su Xingchuan a thumbs up, "Good eye."

Su Xingchuan gave a laugh.

"But what did he just mean about not being able to just make zero?" Thinking hard, Xie Liang's eyes snapped open, scanning Su Xingchuan's body up and down, "No way, man-"

"Get lost." Su Xingchuan spat out a single word.

Xie Liang laughed out loud, but remembering that he was now in the hospital, he had to hold it back, and he didn't forget to ask, "How is it? Does it hurt badly?"

"Kind of."

Su Xingchuan's face did not look good, and Xie Liang didn't want to jab at him and throw stones at him at this time.

"You've been working under a lot of pressure," Xie Liang sighed as he sat on the edge of the bed, "I told you not to go for that project in Zhongjin, but you insisted on doing it. It's not something that ordinary people can do, that Xu Zhengdong from Zhongjin, I used to think that he has a psychological problem, like a local emperor, always looking at people with his nose in the air, and he doesn't necessarily appreciate his face when he has to be treated like a grandchild."

Su Xingchuan smiled and shook his head, "Just pretend to be a grandson, just get the money."

"With this program," Xie Liang twiddled his thumbs, "we could break seven figures this year."

"Maybe."

Xie Liang lifted his chin toward the door, "Does he know you're making so much now?"

Xie Liang knew he was talking about Li Xuan.

"It doesn't matter to him," Su Xingchuan shook his head, "His family is very well off, his father is in business and his mother is in politics, he doesn't lack money."

Xie Liang was slightly surprised, "So."

"By the way, who's going to operate on you tomorrow?"

"Just him."

"Huh? He? This is too much of a coincidence," Xie Liang stood up with a peng, and then came over with a mysterious face, asking, "Can you be assured of letting your ex-boyfriend do the surgery for you? When the time comes, when his head is crooked, you'll lose your virility, what should you do?"

Although Su Xingchuan had also asked Li Xuan this question, he was deliberately teasing Li Xuan, and when he heard others say this, Su Xingchuan subconsciously defended Li Xuan.

"Respect people's medical skills, okay?"

Xie Liang laughed and waved her hand, "Just kidding, I'll wash an apple for you."

Su Xingchuan came to the hospital at 3:00 p.m. Xie Liang chatted with him for a few minutes and then went back to the office. He had nothing to do, took out his laptop to read the financial reports, and made phone call after phone call until dark, even the nurse said, "Mr. Su, you are really busy."

"It can't be helped," Su Xingchuan smiled helplessly, he looked at the small nurse who was changing the bottle next door, suddenly remembered something and asked quietly, "Dr. Li Xuan Li, how is he?"

The little nurse didn't even need to confirm that she knew who Su Xingchuan was referring to as "Dr. Li" because there were too many people asking, and the little nurse replied, "He is very professional and responsible, but he doesn't talk much in general."

"And ...... is he seeing anyone?"

The little nurse raised an eyebrow at him, "Handsome guys are so nosy too?"

Su Xingchuan said, "A beautiful woman's mouth is sweet."

The little nurse snorted out a laugh.

Su Xingchuan tall, features outline and handsome, usually look at the sense of oppression, the small nurse in fact, at first is afraid to talk to him, only to listen to his tone of voice in the call is gentle, but also very patient, only to drum up the courage to chat with him.

In fact, Su Xingchuan was not as good-tempered as he is now.

It's just that Li Xuan dulled all the spikes in his body, and then life and work smoothed him out again.

Ten years ago, Su Xingchuan, who fought every day on the basketball team and called his teammates softballs and goons, would never have imagined that one day he would say into the phone, "Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Xu, your understanding of the current situation is really profound, I have to learn from you."

People say that it is easy to change one's nature, but Su Xingchuan thinks that it is quite easy to change one's nature.

Seeing that the little nurse was unwilling to easily reveal Li Xuan's situation, Su Xingchuan added, "Dr. Li is good-looking, and I want to introduce my sister to him, so I have to ask if he has a date first."

"Dr. Li's object ...... should not have it, he is all alone, it is last month he had a birthday, there is a quite handsome man carried a cake over to help him distribute to the doctors and nurses in the department, but Dr. Li did not say that the two of them have a relationship."

The little nurse spoke in a roundabout way, but the revealed meaning was obvious, Li Xuan may not be straight this matter, the department can see a seven or eight points.

As for the quite handsome man.

Su Xingchuan was in a daze.

It couldn't be that he really had a date, could it? Su Xingchuan's heart sank so hard that he felt the pain down there intensify.

Given Li Xuan's character, what kind of person would he be looking for?

The person who gave his coworkers a cake on Li Xuan's birthday?

It looks like Su Xingchuan from back in the day.

When Su Xingchuan bought coffee for Li Xuan's roommates more than once, hoping that they wouldn't mind Li Xuan's little princess personality and get along with each other, she really acted more like a parent than Li Xuan's parents.

If I had known that I would end up in such a situation, I shouldn't have been so nice to him in the first place, Su Xingchuan sighed in his heart.

"Handsome, don't take in any water or food after dinner at six o'clock, Dr. Lee will be here later." The little nurse explained.

"Good." Su Xingchuan said.

*

Su Xingchuan waited a long time for Li Xuan.

At one point he thought Li Xuan was not coming because it was already the doctor's closing time.

Li Xuan didn't come until 6:20.

Li Xuan, still in his white coat, held out two surgical confirmation forms for Su Xingchuan to sign, "Read them and sign them."

Su Xingchuan looked at it, didn't ask too many questions, and just signed it.

Neither of the two men spoke first.

When the patient said he wanted to go downstairs for a walk, his wife helped him up and the two of them walked slowly out of the ward.

The two men must have been in their forties, and carried the taciturnity of an old married couple in their actions and conversation.

Su Xingchuan watched them go out.

When I turned back, I realized that Li Xuan was also watching.

"Dr. Li," Su Xingchuan called out to him, his expression dour, "let me ask you something."

Li Xuan's lack of response means tacit approval.

"What brings you to work at a men's hospital?"

"Where should I go to work?"

Su Xingchuan didn't expect Li Xuan to ask a rhetorical question, and smiled helplessly, "I just think it's quite unbelievable, urology, it's not like you'd pick a department, I thought you'd go to cardiovascular medicine or something like that."

"It's all the same." Li Xuan said.

He took a pen out of his pocket and scribbled a line in the chart.

"You've changed a lot." Su Xingchuan said.

Li Xuan's writing hand paused.

"Mature, like an adult."

Li Xuan lifted his eyelids, and this time his eyes were not as cold when he looked at Su Xingchuan.

Su Xingchuan was just about to say something when the little nurse suddenly walked in, "Huh? Dr. Li, why aren't you off duty yet?"

The appropriate atmosphere was broken, Su Xingchuan rubbed his nose and heard Li Xuan's detached and courteous voice: "Communicate with him about the details of tomorrow's surgery, I'll be off duty later, are you on duty today?"

"To be," the little nurse knocked on the door panel and said to Su Xingchuan in a familiar tone, "Handsome, remember not to drink water during the night."

Su Xingchuan said, "I know, thanks."

Li Xuan re-looked at Su Xingchuan, his eyes were cold again, the corners of his mouth pursed into a straight line, and he finished writing two lines quickly and was ready to leave.

Su Xingchuan called out to him, "You're just leaving?"

Li Xuan wondered, "What else?"

"I-" Su Xingchuan mumbled, nothing really wrong, just didn't want to spend the night alone.

Li Xuan, surprisingly, spoke first, stopping and asking, "Why isn't your boyfriend here?"

Su Xingchuan froze and thought for a moment before realizing that the "boyfriend" Li Xuan was talking about was Xie Liang.

Li Xuan really misunderstood his relationship with Xie Liang.

Why would he misunderstand? Would someone who doesn't care misunderstand?

In the past, Li Xuan was very careful, he was very possessive, and he would get angry if Su Xingchuan and his classmates spoke a few more words on weekdays. He also loved to be jealous. He was originally like a little mute, unable to hold back a single word for half a day, but when he was jealous, he would speak like others in an eerie manner, which made Su Xingchuan dislike him so much that he could not help but laugh and cry.

Su Xingchuan clearly remembers the tone of his voice when he was jealous.

It's just like now, when you don't care on the surface, but you don't have anything to say.

"Boyfriend? Oh-" he plays along, trailing off, "he's not off yet, come over tonight."

Li Xuan turned around and left.

Su Xingchuan made two "hey" sounds, but did not recruit Li Xuan back.

He thought subconsciously: it's not easy to coax when you're playing off.

The next moment, I thought, "What's the point of coaxing? He's an ex-boyfriend, maybe he's already got someone else, so who are you to coax him?

*

A night alone in a hospital bed waiting for surgery is nothing for twenty-seven-year-old Su Xingchuan.

Just kind of miss Li Xuan.

The mind is full of images from before.

The thought of Li Xuan lying underneath him and letting him bully him caused a well-timed pain in the area where the stones were growing, reminding him that when a person was in a hospital bed, he shouldn't think of childish things.

It hurts just to think about it. What's the point?

Is it really a punishment for his seven years of non-use?

Although Li Xuan said that the surgery does not affect the ability, but Su Xingchuan still inexplicably have a sense of panic, he lifted the quilt to look at two more eyes, and secretly prayed in his heart: buddies, you have to fight a little bit of gas, do not go wrong, a long time to be able to reunite, just in case ...... just in case of one day to break the mirror, you do not surrender the gun in the battlefield!

He slept with trepidation until eight o'clock the next day, when the voice of the little nurse checking in woke him.

He rubbed the corners of his eyes and got ready to get up.

The little nurse heard the commotion and reminded him from outside the curtain, "Handsome, when you wake up, just change into a hospital gown, no underwear."

Su Xingchuan said, "Good, you worked hard on duty."

"I'll be off in a minute." The little nurse's voice overflowed with the joy of impending liberation.

Su Xingchuan had just changed into a hospital gown when Xie Liang hurried in.

"What time is the surgery? I'm not late."

"Half past ten." Su Xingchuan buttoned up the last of her buttons.

Xie Liang sat down, "It's just as well, using the excuse of accompanying you to surgery to avoid this month's regular meeting."

Su Xingchuan smiled.

Time passed quickly, and at around ten o'clock, another nurse came in to inform Su Xingchuan to get ready, confirmed with him that he was fasting from water and food, and then directed him to the operating room.

He saw Li Xuan standing far away.

Looking professional and reliable in a surgical outfit, he's really grown up, Su Xingchuan thought.

As he lay on the operating table, anesthesiologists and nurses surrounded him, and Su Xingchuan only turned his head to look at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan felt his gaze and surprisingly came over to him.

Xuan, Su Xingchuan secretly shouted at him in his heart.

When he was in love, Su Xingchuan always joked that if Xuan was afraid to go on the operating table, he would be his first patient.

It's kind of prophetic at the moment.

The anesthesia gradually took effect, and the lower half of his body was completely unconscious, but he was still conscious. Su Xingchuan saw Li Xuan walk to the operating table and the nurse checked the surgical instruments with him.

The nurse didn't know about Su Xingchuan and Li Xuan's relationship and comforted him, "Relax, for small surgeries like this, our little Dr. Li has already done seven or eight this month."

Su Xingchuan said, "I'm not worried, I have no complaints even if Dr. Li Jr. transforms me into a mechanical freak."

Those were the original words he said in jest back in the day.

Li Xuan listened, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, his expression changed a little, Su Xingchuan was about to say something, the headlights above his head suddenly shone brightly, so bright that he almost couldn't open his eyes.

Shit, it's really going to open up.

Su Xingchuan had just been too caught up in the scene, and only now did he suddenly realize that the operating table was not suitable for melodrama, "Wait--"

Li Xuan coldly glanced at him.

He quickly begged for forgiveness, "No ah, I'm joking, little Dr. Li, for the sake of my previous to you ...... is not bad, must be 100% play ah!"
