Thinking about the day he left his job

In a society governed by the rule of law, He Yu certainly couldn't have thrown Xie Qingcheng into the bushes to torture him in retaliation.

But crosswise, they couldn't leave, and both eventually resigned themselves to returning to the camp.

Four eyes, only small talk.

This shows that Adam and Eve didn't necessarily really love each other either, probably because there just wasn't anyone else, and they couldn't keep talking to the serpent in the tree.

Xie Qingcheng: "Kid."

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

Moreover, the use of this title somewhat implied that Xie Qingcheng was planning to communicate with He Yu at this point in time.

He Yu sidled his head, "Huh?"

"...... the injury on your hand healed?"

"Healed." He Yu laughed, "Why does Dr. Xie care about the injury on my hand? Didn't you want to stab me again that day at the police station."

"...You know I really don't want to hear the past brought up again."

"And did you know that I really wanted to say sorry to you the other day?"

"......" Xie Qingcheng raised his eyes.

He Yu still wearing a smile, but his eyes coldly looked at him: "This is how I speak, Xie Qingcheng.That day I did not lack of apology, much less what you said about the capitalist speech. I grew up with you guys asking me to keep my emotions in check. Have you resigned for too long and forgotten what you said to me yourself before."

A few silences.

Then Xie Qingcheng said, "I did resign for a long time."

"Four years."

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

"Much better."

After saying that He Yu smiled a little more, "You don't have to worry, no matter how I feel about you personally, I agree with your medical philosophy and I keep your teachings about me in my heart at all times."

Xie Qingcheng 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 mind."

He Yu was quiet for a while and smiled down, ''Listen, why does this sound so familiar.

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

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

It was on the day Xie Qingcheng left.

Before that day, He Yu and Xie Xue finished reading together in the library, it was raining, He Yu took Xie Xue home with his umbrella.

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

"That's okay."

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

"Won't it bother?"

"How come, I was afraid you wouldn't be used to it." Xie Xue smiled and took He Yu's hand and headed for the alleyway back home.

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

The woman was sitting at her desk, messaging with someone, with some restrained smiles on her face, not even raising her eyes when her little sister entered the room, only saying casually, "Xie Xue is back."

He Yu and Li Ruoqiu didn't see much of each other, and when they entered the house, they politely said, "Mrs. Li, excuse me."

Li Ruoqiu was startled when he heard his voice and looked up, "...... Ah, honored guest honored guest. Quickly sit down."

She got up hastily, to go and make them tea.

He Yu smiled, "Sister-in-law, no need to be busy, I'll just send Xie Xue home, soon."

"How can this be, sit down and I'll go get you two some snacks."

She twisted away.

Xie Xue quietly said, "Sister-in-law is quite nice and passionate, if you reject her, she will be angry instead."

Li Ruoqiu is indeed a woman with a strong character, which He Yu could sense from the few brief encounters he had with her. Not to mention the fact that no ordinary woman would want to marry a fatherly, indifferent man like Xie Qingcheng.

He sat down, the old house in the alley of Huzhou was cramped, a through room, separated by a curtain. Boys in junior high school have developed and grown taller, and what they should know and what they shouldn't know, they have all learned.

It was the first time he had ever entered Xie Qingcheng's private domain, and his eyes glanced over the furnishings of the room, pausing for a moment on the double bed half-hidden by the gauze curtains with a subtle feeling.

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

He Yu politely averted his eyes.

"Tea is here, come, there are also dim sum, I don't know if you're used to eating it." Li Ruoqiu smiled as she maneuvered around the house, bringing in a pot of hot tea and pastries, and a tray with a plate of cut up fruits, "Try it, the snacks are baked by me."

"You're very kind, sister-in-law."

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

Although the two children are a few years apart, but boys grow quickly in puberty, He Yu did not wear a school uniform today, just a black autumn turtleneck, jeans, wearing a baseball cap, already close to 180cm tall makes him look not so much like a junior high school boy.

He sits next to Xie Xue, who is a few years older than him, and his height and looks actually match.

The room was quiet for a moment.

Xie Xue : "......"

He Yu: "......"

Li Ruoqiu: "......"

After a few seconds, Li Ruoqiu puffed out a laugh, didn't hold back, and waved his hand, "You guys talk, you guys talk, I'm going up to Auntie Li's house to sit for a while."

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

Li Ruoqiu has already walked away with a curl.

Before she left that kind of aunt smile, fools all know what she thought, Xie Xue registers some embarrassment, small face has been meat eye visible speed reddening.

"That, I'm sorry ah He Yu, my sister-in-law she this person likes to watch idol dramas, she looks at it, she sees anything she is prone to think more."

"It's fine." He Yu dipped his eyes and took a sip of the warm tea, he felt that Li Ruoqiu's misunderstanding had gotten to him quite a bit and smiled, "I don't care."

He was originally quite fond of Xie Xue, and Li Ruoqiu's misunderstanding was nothing.

"By the way, your brother isn't on duty tomorrow, but he's 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."

Xie Xue, upon hearing that there is food, happily agreed.

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

He Yu was a bit surprised.

Lv Zhishu and He Jiwei are usually away from home. The He family had two permanent villas, one in Huzhou and one in Yanzhou. The one in Yanzhou was the main house, and He Yu only lived there until he was five years old, when he was taken to the south. His younger brother was different, his younger brother had to study, and he was used to fighting with the local group of foppish friends, and the sight of his decathlon brother gave him a heart attack, so he almost always stayed in the main house.

The two brothers lived across the river from each other, and when their parents were free, they both naturally preferred to spend time with his innocent and cute baby brother, and rarely came to spend time with him unless there was something going on.

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

"Just finished a business trip." Lv Zhishu put down the newspaper and said to his eldest son, "Sit down, there's something I need to tell you."

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

He Yu drops his eyelashes, "Go ahead."

Lv Zhishu 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 physician."

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

It was a long time before he heard himself say, seemingly calmly, "...... Why so sudden."

"Uh-huh. I didn't tell you earlier, in case you knew you were torn."

"...... Why?"

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

She took another sip of her drink, "You should stop hanging out with their family more."

"......"

"Do you see what I mean? We are not from the same class, I sent Old Zhao to pick you up this afternoon, he told me that you went to Dr. Xie's house in Strange Rain Lane as a guest and stayed with his sister." Lv Zhishu sighed, "To be honest, you're quite a disappointment to me. Mencius' mother moved three times and chose her neighbors; parents want their sons to be surrounded by some agreeable company."

She surveyed the boy's already long and tall frame, and her gaze moved upward, landing again on He Yu's already handsome face.

"Especially the female companion."

There was a long silence in the living room.

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

"Leaving his job was his idea, keeping you away from their family was mine." Lv Zhishu admitted it matter-of-factly, piling on a smile and walking over to He Yu, lifting a hand and tilting his head, smoothing back his frontal hair.

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

"......"

"Ask him yourself tomorrow if you don't believe me."

......

The next day, Xie Qingcheng came.

After all the formalities were handed over and he monitored his condition one last time, Xie Qingcheng spoke faintly to the boy lying in the treatment chair, "Your mother should have spoken to you."

He Yu: "......"

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

"In the future, if you're not feeling well, don't choose to self-harm as you did before to divert your attention. Also, no matter which doctor you change to see you, you have to remember that the most important thing is always your own state of mind."

The young doctor really didn't bring any personal emotions with him when he said these things -

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

And he was just a doctor that their family hired.

For He Yu, it wouldn't be good to keep relying on a doctor to channel spiritual dilemmas.

Xie Qingcheng is calm and he knows it very well.

He could give his patients care, support, and strong spiritual encouragement, but when it was time to say goodbye, he wouldn't hold anything back. He had always handled the doctor-patient relationship in such a dry and clean manner, so he finally just said, "...... Well kiddo, 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, there was no response from Xie Qingcheng.

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

"......"

"Xie Qingcheng, over the past years, I've been through many doctors who put me on medication, gave me injections, and looked at me with the eyes of 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 shots and medication weren't the most important thing, that going out and connecting with others and building a strong heart was the only way I could make it through."

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

"......"

"I ......"

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

"I thought you weren't just looking at me as a patient, you were 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 middle school boy had grown out of his physique, and when he carried some anger, his aura was actually scary and already oppressive, "Is this how normal people relate to each other?"

Xie Qingcheng was quiet for a moment, "He Yu. I know you think this matter is very sudden, I really should have informed you in advance, but I have communicated with both your parents, especially your father, who is sort of an old acquaintance of mine and my employer, and I have to respect his wishes first without violating my principles... ..."

"And what do I mean?"

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

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

"......" Xie Qingcheng sighed, "Get a grip on yourself, lad. I mean no disrespect, but you're still a student, and hiring me is not something you can afford."

He Yu didn't know what to think, but he was already very calm at that time, and he was even able to go in and out without losing his manners in the midst of adult socializing.

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

"Save it for the cake."

"......"

Xie Qingcheng said to him rationally, "I'm not a piece of cake that your father won't buy for you so you can find a way to pay for it yourself. I came to see you, in large part because of his favors. It is impossible for me to go against his will, do you understand?"

"Why did he have to let you go?"

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

Xie Qingcheng looked into He Yu's eyes.

"Yes."

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

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

"......"

"The same seven years that your father and I originally agreed upon."

Xie Qingcheng said here and looked at He Yu's eyes again, "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 come out of your inner shadow. Do you understand?"

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

Xie Qingcheng : "You can always contact us when you need our help."

There was a pause, "Other times, there really isn't much need."

"......"

"Also, your mother told me about you and Xie Xue often hanging out alone." Xie Qingcheng said, "And I, as her parent, really don't think that's appropriate either."

As he spoke, he surveyed the boys in middle school, and said decently and calmly, "I know there's a big age difference between you, and that you're just a piece of her, and nothing more. But as time goes on, it's inevitable that some bad things will be said about you, and it won't be good for you or her."

He Yu didn't correct him on his too-ancient, too-naïve thoughts, but simply said, "So you approve of my mother's ways."

"I agree."

He Yu stared at him for a long moment, then he leaned back in his seat, braced his face, and smiled softly, a smile that was like a cloudy shade of sunlight that hid the inch of his heart that he had managed to bare.

He Yu smiled and said, "Doctor, you really ...... are so calm that people think, you are not sick, but you have no more heart than me."

"Good. Now that you've got that out of the way, off you go."

"I will remember well what you have said, save myself very calmly, live very calmly, and wish you a smooth and prosperous career ahead."

"But--"

The conversation turned.

"Xie Xue, even though she's your sister, has her freedom, and no matter what you guys say, I'm still going to find her."

Xie Qingcheng frowned and his gaze became stern, "She's a girl and you're already fourteen, you're a bit distant. Why do you have to follow her?"

"Because she's not like you."

Light and shadow cut into a line on the ground, and they are in light and darkness, like pieces that have been snapped in half. He Yu says, "She is the only bridge that connects me to the world."

Xie Qingcheng was silent for a moment, "Then you should have found another one."

When the time came, he had some errands to run, and unable to say anything more to He Yu, he left.

On that day, He Yu sat in his chair without moving.

From dusk, to late at night.

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

Xie Qingcheng's speech is always very reasonable, it is he who said to him that he hoped he would treat himself as a normal person, it is he who said to him that people can come out of the inner shadow by themselves.

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

But on this day, he knew from Xie Qingcheng's choice that he had overthought it after all.

Employment is really the cleanest and simplest of all human relationships. Whether it lasts ten or twenty years, when the relationship ends, the money and goods are gone and there are no human entanglements, and no one owes anyone anything.

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

Xie Qingcheng wasn't anywhere near as special as those doctors before him. He was even more cruel than those other doctors who saw him as an alien, because he had lied to him the longest and taken the most benefit from his passion and pain. He was the one who had led him to believe that the relationship he had built was something that could last forever, and he was the one who had led him to believe that his fondness for Xie Xue was something that could be accepted by his parents.

But he was all wrong.

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

After so many years, Xie Qingcheng is still the eldest brother of the Xie family, and has not changed at all.

He still doesn't want Xie Xue to be alone with him, and still stands in the way of his sister as a very domineering and authoritarian protector - even the words admonishing him to think better of it are exactly the same.

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

But sadly, he doesn't have a heart.

"Still thinking about the old days?"

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

He Yu came back to his senses and said, "...... You mentioned it, so I thought about it. Thinking about it, it is indeed unlikely that you would remember what attitude I used to speak with."

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

Xie Qingcheng has not yet replied, but at that moment, the sky suddenly lit up a light, followed by a "bang", fireworks in the night.

The annual garden party always finishes with this overly brilliant fireworks near the end.

Several vibrations and a million flowers.

Xie Qingcheng says, "Right."

In this light, suddenly sounded muffled thunder boom - showers. Fireworks are born fiery and gentle, in the end than the lightning is tough and cold, and soon subsided and lost. Students in the distance, laughing and fleeing into the school building or dormitory to avoid the rain, soybean-sized raindrops crackling fall in the bustling world.

He Yu 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 sober thoughts, besides the doctor-patient relationship, now you are also my teacher's brother, if you get wet, I won't be able to explain myself in front of her."

After a pause, still somewhat sarcastically, "Two people who have ended their doctor-patient relationship and are sheltering from the rain together is normal behavior, there's no transgression or disorder, right?"

Xie Qingcheng knows that in his heart he still resists himself.

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

He Yu smiled, "There's a cave up ahead, after you."

.

While He Yu and Xie Qingcheng are looking for a place to escape the rain on the island, the seniors are still working diligently to get paid to guard the entrance and keep the other participants from approaching the park.

The senior thought that at this point in time, everyone should have had about as much fun as possible, and it was unlikely that anyone would be so bored as to come all the way to Neverland to get a stamp, so his mind was much more relaxed.

"Geez, this is a lot of rain." He lamented, sitting in the duck boat and looking trivially toward the island, hoping to see something.

But the distance is too far, he only vaguely saw He Yu and a quite slender person together before, he is nearsighted, can't see too clearly, just think that the beautiful woman is quite tall, estimated to be almost one meter eight, and I don't know whether it is stepping on a high heel.

Mr. He's taste is really unique, he likes such a tall girl.

LOL ...... The life of a capitalist is enviable.

He thought of thinking, are some of the heart itch up, quite want to know now it is raining, the island of the two is how to get along with, he and the two went up did not bring an umbrella, dream island on the only cave, usually very few students to go, but also is the school monitoring layout of the blind spot. The senior heard that some couples especially like to come to this cave in the middle of the night to play wild, he estimated that to He Yu this kind of looks this kind of family history, and also spent so much effort to chase that 180 beauty, that now certainly has got it.

How about sending a text message to peddle a condom to a capitalist.

Senpai thought and fumbled for his cell phone.

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

The senior then started editing the message, intending to send it to He Yu's unblocked cell phone, to go to the wool of the capital-

"Boss He, there's a first aid box in the cave on the island, and there are a few boxes of condoms on the second level of the box, so if you need them, go look in the box, and remember to send me a red packet if you use them ......"
