Chapter 65 Chapter 65

That day, Qiao Hao waited in the corridor until the early morning, but he was still not allowed to enter Shi Dongdong's ward.

The last time Aunt Yu came out of the ward was after ten o'clock. She said to him with red eyes, "You go back first, Dongdong is fine."

But Qiao Hao couldn't move even half a step away. How could he let him leave without seeing that person?He didn't know whether it was Shi Dongdong's own intention or his father's decision, and no matter what, it made him uneasy.

He didn't want to disturb the people inside, he just wanted to make sure that he was really safe and sound.

Finally, in the empty corridor in the middle of the night, his patience reached its limit.

Huo Di got up, fighting against the numbness of his legs, he rushed over and pushed open the door with some stumbles.

There seemed to be two worlds inside and outside the door. He was burning outside the door, but inside the door there were only dim night lights and the monotonous sound of electrical current from monitoring instruments.When Qiao Hao saw the person lying on the white hospital bed, the anger in his heart subsided instantly—he couldn't help but relax, and almost tiptoed to the person's bedside.

His fingers slowly touched the pale skin, rubbing them back and forth, and the warmth from his fingertips made Qiao Hao let out a long sigh of relief.

After all this tossing, Shi Dongdong's face seemed to be thinner again, and the pointed chin made the whole person look very weak.Qiao Hao's hand moved from his face to his chin, and then stayed on his lips.

Just when Qiao Hao was shaking his head, the person on the bed suddenly turned his face away, coughed, and slowly opened his eyes, with a little light condensing in them.

Qiao Hao's heart beat fast, seeing Shi Dongdong wake up, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

"Aren't you asleep? Or did I wake you up?" He said softly.

Shi Dongdong frowned slightly, and then looked at Qiao Hao.

The lights were dim, and they couldn't really see each other clearly, but the silence in the room made the two of them stay in such a stare as if absent-minded, as if it had been a long time since their last meeting.

Qiao Hao couldn't move his eyes, and Shi Dongdong didn't answer his question.

"I dreamed of peace." Finally, Shi Dongdong said.

"Yeah." Qiao Hao nodded, his heart tightened.

"He seems to have traveled a long way, looking like a traveler. He came here specifically to tell me that he would go to the King of Hades to steal the book of life and death, cross out my name and return it quietly, so that I don't have to die." Shi Dongdong leisurely explain.

"Very... Scared?" Qiao Hao held Shi Dongdong's hand beside the bed.

"I was scared before, but I'm not so scared now, I know it all." Shi Dongdong said calmly, no emotion could be heard in his voice.

Qiao Hao's hand couldn't help but clenched even tighter, his throat kept moving, swallowing the soreness that came up.

"In my dream, I joked about An Ning, and I told him that there is no immortality, it's just earlier and later." Shi Dongdong said again, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's a pity that he is earlier than me... Otherwise, maybe my The heart can really save him, my tumor is primary in the brain, it has not metastasized, and I have only had chemotherapy for a few days, so the heart should still work, right?" Shi Dongdong said, panting more and more, coughing a few times in the middle Voice.

"He doesn't need it anymore, you keep it for yourself." Qiao Hao said in a deep voice, trying to suppress his emotions.

"Did he suffer when he left?" Shi Dongdong seemed to be obsessed with the topic of An Ning, and asked again.

"He walked very peacefully, and his heart stopped beating after falling asleep... Dongdong, can you stop talking about peace?" Qiao Hao begged, he didn't want to recall the night when the young boy died alone, and he didn't want to hear Shi Dongdong seems to be substituting his own questioning.

"Were you by his side, then?" Shi Dongdong looked straight at Qiao Hao without stopping.

Qiao Hao closed his eyes and nodded.

"Then he should have no regrets." Shi Dongdong smiled lightly, then coughed violently.

Qiao Hao hurriedly got up to pour water for him, and the moment his back was turned to him, he felt uncomfortable.He understands that the resistance of terminally ill patients is very weak, and Shi Dongdong must have a lung infection to cough like this, which he has seen many times in the department.The pain of the tumor is already unbearable, and the additional torture will only make the patient weaken faster. The situation that usually happens to those patients is now happening to the person he loves. Qiao Hao can't continue to imagine.

He had seen too much of the so-called "that day", but he couldn't imagine being alone with this person.

When the water was handed over, Shi Dongdong no longer had the strength to support himself to drink.Qiao Hao found a straw, but worried that Shi Dongdong, who was lying flat, would choke on it.So, he half picked him up and fed him the water.

Feeling the weight of the man in his arms, Qiao Hao didn't want to let him go for a moment.

He freed up one hand and put the glass of water that Shi Dongdong drank aside, then sat on the bedside, letting Shi Dongdong lean back in his arms.

"Will it be more comfortable?" he asked.

Shi Dongdong let him hold him and didn't answer, but his cough has subsided a lot.

The room became quiet again, and the beeping sound of the electric current in the instrument gave people the illusion of tinnitus. Qiao Hao thought in his heart whether he should say something more, or let Shi Dongdong sleep well.

And at this moment, Shi Dongdong spoke again.

"I feel... that I can finally be your patient. Do you want to be transferred to your department like An Ning, and then there..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Probably guessing what he would say, Qiao Hao hurriedly stopped him.

"I thought you were a doctor, so you should be used to life and death..." Shi Dongdong smiled and sighed, and suddenly called Qiao Hao's name after a while, "Qiao Hao, please do one thing."

He said this sentence in a different tone from the previous one, although light but very solemn, so that countless bad thoughts flashed through Qiao Hao's mind.

"What's the matter?" he asked uneasily.

"Take me to meet someone, okay?" Shi Dongdong's voice was cautious.

"See who?"

"I want to see Huo Yan, maybe I won't have another chance in the future..."

Qiao Hao felt speechless.

"Like the last time you took me out of the hospital, open a small polo, and then we will go to Huo Yan's company. It would be best if he is there, but if he is not... forget it, how about it?"

It turns out that you are still thinking about that person... Qiao Hao's heart fell into an invisible abyss for a moment, but he didn't say that because the person in his arms was panting heavily, and his body vibrated faintly, like struggling with something.

"Can your body handle it?" He could only ask.

"It's okay, I can persist. Besides, Chen Zhi has already agreed to hide it from the doctor for me here..."

"You have a very thorough plan." Qiao Hao shook his head with a smile, he was surprised that he could still laugh.

"Are you willing?" Shi Dongdong asked again.

Qiao Hao was silent for a long time before saying, "Do you really want to see him that much?"

After Qiao Hao asked, he vaguely recalled the scene when he met Shi Dongdong on the way back from get off work when he met Shi Dongdong just now. At that time, he was going to look for Huo Yan. He was standing in a white dress, weak and bustling, on the bustling road.In fact, he said to him at that time, "I want to find someone..."

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, I am just an intruder, an intruder who cannot break in.

Qiao Hao laughed at himself again.

"Take it as a wish...Qiao Hao, I have no one to turn to." Shi Dongdong coughed again as he spoke.

"Okay, then promise me, get well soon, and I'll take you there when you don't cough anymore." Qiao Hao sighed in his heart.

"The day after tomorrow, how is the morning of the day after tomorrow? I promise I won't cough anymore." Shi Dongdong began to endure it desperately again.

Qiao Hao finally let go of the hand holding him, and gently let him lie on his back on the pillow. As expected, Shi Dongdong's face turned red, but he stared straight at Qiao Hao with cloudy eyes.

"Okay, the day after tomorrow." Qiao Hao patted his chest, then nodded.

……

Still asking for leave, still borrowing a car, but this time, Qiao Hao's mood was completely different from the previous one.

Before leaving, he drove to see his mother first.Her body has recovered quite a bit, and her chubby face has returned to its former blood color, but she was taken aback when she saw him. He thought it was probably because he hadn't shaved for a few days.

Because of this, my mother didn't even dare to mention Shi Dongdong when she saw him, and just kept saying that she could be discharged from the hospital.

Qiao Hao closed the bed curtain, knelt down in front of her and said to her, "Mom, don't worry, Dongdong and I are just ordinary friends."

When he saw Shi Dongdong again, he really didn't cough anymore, at least he didn't cough once from the time Chen Zhi pushed him out in the wheelchair to when he got into the car.

Qiao Hao sat in the driver's cab, watched silently as he took off his hospital gown, revealing the white T-shirt and jeans he was wearing underneath, and grinned at him, "Can you tell he's a terminal cancer patient?"

Qiao Hao was at a loss for words, and just helped him straighten the baseball cap on his head, and fastened his seat belt.

In fact, he really wanted to ask what Shi Dongdong would say when he saw that person, but after all he couldn't ask.After all, this is a matter between those two people, maybe Shi Dongdong will pretend to pass by occasionally, chatting about trivial matters, maybe they will not say anything, everything is in silence, just a glance is enough.

Qiao Hao concentrated on driving and listening to the radio broadcast in the car. He felt that he couldn't think about some things.

"When will you buy a car of your own?" Shi Dongdong said to him in the car, "You look really handsome when you drive."

Qiao Hao glanced at Shi Dongdong, who was smiling at him, looking sideways at him.

"It's not necessary." He replied lightly.

Shi Dongdong saw that he didn't seem to be interested in talking, so he stopped talking.

Huo Yan's company arrived in a blink of an eye, and Qiao Hao searched the map several times before confirming the route closest to the hospital.The office building where the company is located is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the city, and Huo Yan's office is on the top floor of this high-rise building. Obviously, he is already a successful young talent.

Pushing Shi Dongdong into the elevator, Qiao Hao finally asked him, "Are you sure you want to go up?"

He's left you twice, he's engaged...he's traded your affection for money.

Of course, Qiao Hao didn't say anything about it, so he wasn't angry, but he was never willing to hurt Shi Dongdong again.

And Shi Dongdong sat in the wheelchair with his back facing him, and didn't respond.

It wasn't until the elevator came that the man slowly turned around and raised his head, and said to him, "I'll go up by myself, don't worry, I'll come down soon."
