Like Fang Huai

Do adoptive parents love their adopted children?

They should, at least they are happy when their children timidly call them mom and dad.

But why do they suddenly stop loving each other? Because they have children whom they love even more.

"Maimai, what are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?" Kong Lingyu leaned against the wall with his hands folded, opened the window a little, bent down and put his face in front of Fang Huai and asked.

Seeing Fang Huai's lost look, he wanted to reach out and hold Fang Huai's face, but failed. He awkwardly withdrew his hand that was suspended in mid-air.

"What are you doing here?"

Fang Huai took a few steps back, looking alert, fearing that Kong Lingyu would make some move in the next second.

"Thinking about that little patient?" Kong Lingyu smiled, leaned over and looked up at Fang Huai, and said seriously: "Fang Huai."

"Um."

"Love is a fleeting thing. It's not wrong not to be loved." Kong Lingyu said: "Not everyone has to be loved by everyone. When he is not loved by others, he can love himself."

He was rarely serious, and said word by word: "Loving yourself is far more important than anyone else's love."

Love yourself? Fang Huai's eyes widened, and those clear pupils reflected the image of himself in Kong Lingyu's eyes. Kong Lingyu's words set off a storm in his heart.

When Fang Huai was shocked, Kong Lingyu's neck also turned red, spreading all the way to his ears, and he hurriedly looked away.

He cleared his throat, his shock lasting only three seconds. Seeing Fang Huai's frown relax, he turned around and said, "Of course, my love for you is greater than my love for myself."

He also emphasized: "Maimai, really."

Fang Huai glanced at him, couldn't stand Kong Lingyu's sour words, and immediately turned around and left.

"Kong Lingyu, go home quickly. This is not the place for you."

"Are you concerned about me?" Kong Lingyu stood there smiling and asked, looking at Fang Huai's back.

Fang Huai: ...I really shouldn’t have been nice to him.

Although the hospitals were extremely busy recently, all the hospital wards in the city were full due to the influx of patients.

Fang Huai not only has to assist in the surgery, but also has to devote his energy to training assistants from other departments.

In addition to work, I also have to mediate conflicts between patients.

Fortunately, everything is moving in the right direction. The patients' conditions have stabilized and are under control. Fang Huai and his colleagues can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Doctor Fang, something bad has happened. There's a fight going on between the patients' families."

A nurse who was in a hurry was stopped by Fang Huai, "Doctor Cheng and the others were also beaten."

Fang Huai's expression froze, and he quickly asked her to notify the security department, and he would go to help.

When he arrived at the scene, he saw two family members of the patients fighting with each other. Both of them had bruises on their faces. The man who was at a disadvantage had been punched in the left eye, and his eye socket was black.

He cursed and swore, "You little girl... You deserve to be extinct."

"How dare you hit me like this? Bah."

Fang Huai, with a cold face, and the people around him separated the two men who were fighting each other.

"Fighting is prohibited in the hospital." Fang Huai saw that one of the men wanted to step forward, so he stood in front of the man with a cold face. The man was half a head shorter than Fang Huai, and he was very intimidating when he had no expression on his face.

"What happened? Why the fight?"

Fang Huai and the other two calmed down and began to inquire about the cause of the fight. One of the men was Zhang Penghong, the father of Fang Huai's patient. He also recognized Fang Huai, lowered his hands in frustration, and said emotionally, "Doctor Fang, it's mainly because of this beast...this guy went too far."

The man being scolded was named Cao Tang. When he heard the man scolding him again, he widened his dark eyes and said, "You bastard, I'm going to tear your mouth apart."

Zhang Penghong also had a bad temper and rolled up his sleeves to beat him up. Cao Tang was so scared that he quickly broke away from the person holding him and hid behind Fang Huai.

"Calm down, what exactly happened?" Fang Huai said, his head aching as he held down Zhang Penghong, wanting to hit her. "If this gets out of hand, our hospital will be the one to handle it."

Fang Huai's voice was muffled through the mask. He turned his head to look at Cao Tang, who was deliberately angering Zhang Penghong. The indifference in his eyes made Cao Tang's heart freeze.

His gaze uncontrollably looked behind Fang Huai, and saw a pair of smiling eyes in the shadows at the corner of the corridor. The man slowly walked out of the shadows, revealing pale features. They were far away, but he could vaguely hear the sound of leather shoes pacing.

Cao Tang's pupils dilated. The man smiled at him threateningly, with the corners of his mouth raised and his eyes cold, as if the man would crush him to death if he dared to make a sound.

Suddenly, I felt a chill on my back, and I quickly looked away and closed my mouth.

When he raised his head, the man hiding in the shadows had disappeared, but the bone-chilling chill remained, and that threatening look remained from beginning to end.

Cao Tang decisively chose to shut up.

Zhang Penghong said: "This guy said some unlucky things to my child. I told him to shut up, but he deliberately provoked me."

For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Cao Tang who was standing behind Fang Huai. The doctors, security guards, and the patient's family members, their eyes were like rays of light, making the little thoughts in Cao Tang's heart disappear without a trace.

He puffed out his chest guiltily and said stubbornly, "Am I not telling the truth? A little girl who just cries all day long like a little toad. She disturbed me, and I am not allowed to scold her?"

"You bastard!" Zhang Penghong clenched his fists and was about to hit him. The eyes of the onlookers gradually turned into disgust. He wanted to pull Fang Huai over to be his human shield, but Fang Huai's eyes were stern and he dodged, exposing him completely, and his fist hit Cao Tang's face heavily.

"Fuck, that feels so good!"

"People like this should be taught a lesson." Everyone around felt good. They had to teach these outspoken fools a lesson to let them know the consequences of not controlling their mouths.

Fang Huai frowned and looked at Cao Tang. He knew this man.

Cao Tang's daughter is also receiving treatment in the hospital. Her condition has improved and she no longer has a fever, but it is the girl's mother who has been taking care of her.

His wife divorced him a long time ago and lives alone with their daughter.

I don't know where this guy got the news from, but he came to the hospital and refused to leave.

This "father" keeps shouting all day long: "She is my daughter, I came to see what happened to her."

Faced with his ex-wife's driving him away, he always acted recklessly. If they were not in the hospital, he would have raised his hands to hit his ex-wife and daughter.

Xu Hangranran secretly told Fang Huai about the man's restlessness in the hospital and even dared to touch the interns who were doing rounds. Fang Huai then arranged for several other boys to be in charge of the rounds and sternly warned the man.

Fang Huai raised his eyes and looked at the man, "Is that so?"

Cao Tang looked at Fang Huai's cold eyes, swallowed nervously, and felt scared. Doctor Fang usually spoke in a gentle manner, so why did he seem like a different person now?

He stiffened his neck and said, "I said it, what's wrong?"

Fang Huai's eyes grew even colder, and the man stammered, "Little girl, how can you be so pretentious? You start crying and wailing after just a few words."

This guy doesn't remember being beaten. After hearing what he said, Fang Huai could sense his anger even through his mask. "Security, take this troublemaker out."

"I'm going to complain about you! What a rubbish doctor you are." Cao Tang was not convinced and wanted to beat Fang Huai.

Fang Huai raised his hand and clamped the man's wrist, his voice cold: "Fighting is prohibited in the hospital."

"Get him out of the hospital."

The man cried out in pain, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, let go!"

The security guard stepped forward to hold the man down. A spectator took a ball of medical cotton from the intern's tray, stuffed it into his mouth, and clapped his hands triumphantly: "It's much cleaner now."

"Ugh...I'll file a complaint against you!

"Yeah." Fang Huai didn't take his words to heart and continued to check on the ward with the interns.

Zhang Penghong also reacted and returned to the ward.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the onlookers dispersed.

Arriving at the ward, Zhang Penghong's daughter was peeking out from the doorway. Fang Huai's originally cold eyes softened a little. He bent down and rubbed the girl's head and said, "How are you feeling today? Didn't you apply the medicine properly?"

The little girl blushed, turned around and ran into her mother's arms, buried her head, and refused to come out no matter what.

Fang Huai's hand stopped in mid-air, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.

The girl's mother smiled, and several interns behind Fang Huai also covered their mouths and laughed quietly. Seeing the teacher was stunned, Xu Hangran stepped forward and whispered, "The child is shy."

The little girl's ears moved, and she secretly glanced at the big brother standing at the door. At the signal of her mother's gentle gaze, she ran to Fang Huai with a red face and tugged at Fang Huai's sleeve.

Fang Huai didn't understand what was going on, but he still squatted down and looked at his little patient tenderly.

"elder brother."

"Yes, I'm here." Fang Huai's eyes curved. He tentatively touched the girl's head and said, "What that uncle said is not true. You are all very cute. You should take good care of yourself."

The girl nodded obediently, "I know."

She suddenly leaned close to Fang Huai, covered her mouth with her hand and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Brother Fang Huai, you are so gentle. We all like you very much. Tangtang from the next ward likes you too."

Fang Huai was suddenly stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.

Hearing those innocent words, her clear eyes suddenly became moist, with a hint of shyness and helplessness, "Do you like me?"

"Brother likes you too."

Zhang Penghong's wife smiled and took the child back, saying, "You've embarrassed your brother."

"I'm telling the truth. Tangtang and I both really like Brother Fang Huai."

Mom asked, “How much do you like it?”

The girl touched her face in distress, stretched her arms as far as they could, pouted and said seriously, "I like it so much."

Fang Huai's face suddenly became hot. He was now very glad that he was wearing a mask, but he didn't realize that his expressive eyes had revealed all his emotions.

The intern following behind him covered his mouth and laughed secretly. He never expected that Teacher Fang, who was always calm and composed, would be so helpless because of the children's childish talk.

Fang Huai's face heated up again when he heard their whispers. He cleared his throat and said calmly, "It's time for rounds."

"Yes, teacher."

At this time, at the hospital gate, Cao Tang, who was kicked out, was rubbing his twisted hand and cursing.

He didn't dare to go forward because the security guard was not a pushover. He could only stand at the hospital door and curse loudly. He called his ex-wife, but she had blocked him.

"When I catch you, I'll make sure you're in trouble."

He spat in anger and searched his pockets. There was still some cash in there, about 500 yuan. He had stolen it from his ex-wife's pocket a few days ago.

"That's enough to make me feel good. If you dare not answer my call, you bitch, don't let me catch you."

After saying that, he turned around and walked outside. The road became narrower and narrower until he came to the entrance of a shabby alley. The path in the alley was bumpy and there was black water in it. Cao Tang sneaked in.

He walked to a smoky place with ease. As soon as he opened the door, the people inside looked at him unfriendly.

He grinned, clapping the several hundred yuan in his hand, took a greedy drag on his cigarette, and grinned: "I will definitely make back my money tonight."

Kong Lingyu stood leaning against the door, an unlit cigarette tucked between his fingers, his head tilted to the side as he watched the goings-on inside with disdain. The man next to him bent over to help him light a cigarette, but he simply waved his hand and said, "No."

"Then come here..." The man lighting the cigarette paused and asked in a flattering tone.

Kong Lingyu lit his cigarette and glanced at the man, "Looking for someone."

The man shrank his neck, his forehead covered with cold sweat. When he heard Kong Lingyu's words, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned. Fortunately, he was not here to cause trouble for them.

"What do you need us to do?"

Kong Lingyu curled the corners of his lips: "I don't need you."
