On New Year's Eve, Chaoge got up earlier than Han Lin, a rare winter day. She wore thick plush pajamas and fried eggs in the kitchen.
After Han Lin washed up and got dressed, breakfast was ready when he arrived at the dining room.
The two sat down at their respective seats to eat.
"Are we going directly to Fang Shi later?" Han Lin asked.
Chaoge shook her head: "Let's clean the house first. We can't clean it at the beginning of the year."
Han Lin said, "Thank you for your hard work. I can't help you with the spring cleaning this year."
Chaoge laughed: "You work hard too. I work hard cleaning the house, and you work hard treating patients in the hospital. We share the joys and sorrows."
Han Lin was amused by his twisted logic: "I'm definitely busy today. I have three surgeries scheduled. If everything goes well, I'll be busy until tonight."
"Look, you've obviously worked much harder than me, even having surgery on New Year's Eve." Chaoge gestured.
"The patients are also suffering. Who doesn't want to go home and reunite with their family these days?" said Han Lin.
After dinner, Han Lin went out to work, and Chaoge stayed at home to clean.
It has been a custom since childhood that one cannot clean or throw away garbage at the beginning of the year. In order to ensure that he can live in a relatively clean environment in the next few days, Chaoge deliberately set aside the morning of the 30th to clean, so that if he has things to do in the afternoon and evening, it will not affect him.
Chaoge and Han Lin both love hygiene and are diligent in cleaning frequently, so they don't actually do much during each general cleaning.
At most, you just need to tidy up the places that you rarely pay attention to on a daily basis.
Chaoge finished cleaning quickly and then went to a nearby supermarket to buy some New Year's goods. Most of the shops around were closed at the beginning of the year, so it was impossible to buy anything and she had to prepare in advance.
Chaoge carefully purchased everything needed for the New Year and took them back home before driving to 404 for lunch.
Everyone had a simple lunch at noon, a few home-cooked stir-fries with white rice, and in the afternoon we started cleaning 404 and preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
Fang Shi’s parents are coming this year, and some people who have stayed in 404 for a short time before are also coming. There are more people eating at home than usual, so we need to prepare more food.
In the afternoon, Chaoge and Lin Dian made dumplings together.
"Look, it's so white and plump. My cooking skills are getting better and better." Lin Dian said proudly.
Chaoge smiled and nodded. Lin Dian knew nothing about these things at first. He started to learn after coming to 404, but he still had few opportunities to enter the kitchen.
Lin Dian looked around, then approached Chaoge like a thief and whispered, "Chaoge, I heard that Lawyer Du is coming today too?"
Chaoge nodded.
"Tsk." Lin Dian buried his head in making dumplings. "I don't even know how long it's been since I last saw him."
"Don't you usually contact him?" Chaoge asked.
"I'm too busy. Now I truly understand what it means to be a social animal." Lin Dian sighed, "And I'm embarrassed to keep pestering him. I feel like he has no interest in me at all."
Chaoge wanted to pat Lin Dian's shoulder, but his hands were covered in flour, so he could only give him a comforting look.
"But it doesn't matter. He is so handsome, looks like a paper man. Even if I can't have him, just liking his looks is enough." Lin Dian said.
Just as he finished speaking, Du Muyun arrived.
He walked into the living room carrying two bags of fruit.
There was no one in the living room. Yang Yufan and Fang Shi had gone out to pick up his parents. Aunt Li was cooking, and the others were cleaning on the second floor.
He looked around and finally his eyes fell on Chaoge and Lin Dian who were making dumplings in the dining room.
Du Muyun walked over with an expressionless face: "Happy New Year."
Chaoge smiled and waved at him. Lin Dian stuttered and replied, "Happy New Year, Lawyer Du."
Du Muyun hummed and asked, "Where are the others?"
Chaoge was speechless, so Lin Dian replied, "Fanfan and the professor went to the airport to pick up my uncle and aunt. The others are cleaning the second floor."
"Oh." Du Muyun said, "Then I'll make it with you guys."
Lin Dian instinctively refused. What a joke! How could someone who looks like a painting get his hands dirty?
Chaoge nodded to him and considerately gave him some face.
Lin Dian couldn't say no.
Du Muyun went to the bathroom to wash his hands first, then came over and sat casually next to Lin Dian.
The chairs in the dining room were close together, and the faint woody scent of Du Muyun brushed past him vaguely. Lin Dian felt half of his body numb, and his heart trembled slightly.
Too close.
Lin Dian felt dizzy for the entire afternoon, until Fang Shi and Yang Yufan brought Fang's parents home, and the dumplings he made were not as white and plump as before.
After wrapping the dumplings, Chaoge went to the kitchen to make braised pork and Bobo chicken.
Aunt Li saw him come in and stuffed a freshly baked egg dumpling into his hand: "How is it?"
Chaoge gave a thumbs up.
It’s the taste of Chinese New Year.
Halfway through cooking, Chaoge heard a commotion outside. She looked over and saw that it was Yang Yufan and Lin Dian putting up spring couplets. Aunt Li laughed beside them, "These two always have a commotion over it every year."
It was almost time for dinner, and many people came to the house one after another. Most of them were people who had stayed in 404 for a short time for various reasons. Some of them knew each other, while others did not.
But without exception, whether new or old, they all love each other because they have such a common home.
Chaoge and Aunt Li brought the last two dishes to the table, and everyone finally sat around to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.
There were quite a lot of people, so they sat at two tables, one in the dining room and one in the living room.
The two halls are close to each other and have no doors, so people can see each other and chat while eating, making it very lively.
Fang Shi was tricked by a few people into drinking a few glasses of wine. His face quickly turned red and even his eyes began to look blurry. Yang Yufan refused to accept it and protected his professor by not allowing him to toast again.
The professor couldn't drink, so his family members came to do it for him. Yang Yufan was dragged into a drinking contest by a few alcoholics, and a big fight broke out.
Fang Shi's parents were also teachers. His father taught law and had some connection with Du Muyun's professor when he was studying. When they met this time, the two naturally sat together and chatted.
Lin Dian was originally still submissive next to Du Muyun, but later he joined CICI and the others in having fun, playing rock-paper-scissors childishly, and whoever lost got to eat dumplings.
Chaoge looked here and there. Although he couldn't speak, he integrated very well into the place. Wherever he went, people sitting there would give him food.
At the end of the meal, I was so full that I couldn’t walk, so I hid on the sofa with Yang Yufan’s sister to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
This year's Spring Festival Gala skit happened to tell the story of the emergency room. Chaoge and her sister laughed silently along with the plot, but felt a little lonely at the end.
The doctor in the sketch has to be on duty and cannot go home for the New Year. His family members also have to be on duty and can only sit in the cold hospital.
Chaoge looked at his watch. It was half past eight.
He stood up, waved goodbye to everyone, and drove home.
It was dark at home. He opened the door and saw Xiao Erzhong and Xiao Laji sitting at the door waiting for him.
Chaoge squatted down and rubbed their heads, opened his mouth and made the shape of "meow", teasing the kittens in the silence.
After playing with the cat, Chaoge went to the kitchen to wash his hands, then took out cold rice and tomato and egg from the refrigerator and started to make fried rice.
He prepared a lot of rice and fried it for more than half an hour before stopping. He also made a few refreshing side dishes, cooked the dumplings that he had wrapped earlier, put them into disposable lunch boxes, and packaged them.
By the time he prepared all the food, it was almost ten o'clock.
Chaoge carried the food he had prepared into the car in several batches, then went back to the house to give the cat more food and water, put it in a cage, and then drove to the hospital.
When the car arrived at the hospital security booth, Chaoge stuck his head out and waved to the two security guards on duty.
"Brother Dr. Han, are you here to spend the New Year with your brother again this year?" the security guard asked with a smile.
Chaoge nodded, got out of the car and gave them two portions of the fried rice and side dishes she had made.
"Oh, every time I'm on duty during the Chinese New Year, I have the pleasure of eating your hot meals and dumplings. Thank you so much!" The two security guards are also old people. They have worked in the hospital for many years. Every year during the Chinese New Year in Chaoge, they can meet each other as long as they are on duty.
Chaoge typed on her phone: [Thank you for your hard work on duty again this year. Happy New Year. I'm going up first!]
"Okay, okay, Happy New Year. Thank you, Brother Doctor Han!"
He brought too much food to carry by himself, so after parking his car in the parking lot below the hospital, he sent a message to Han Lin, asking him to come down and help carry the food.
Han Lin was not busy and replied with an OK.
Chaoge put down his phone and took a sniff. His nostrils were filled with the aroma of tomato and egg fried rice.
Chaoge couldn't help laughing, thinking of the day when he and Han Lin confirmed their relationship.
August 23rd, an ordinary day.
Chaoge is attending classes at school and Han Lin is working in the hospital.
They were still in the ambiguous period, so Chaoge's mind was almost full of Han Lin. As soon as class was over, he would send Han Lin messages.
However, Han Lin was busy, so when Chaoge sent him a message, it would take him a while to reply, and sometimes he couldn't be found for most of the day.
It was Han Lin's turn to be on duty that day. He was busy from noon until eight or nine in the afternoon before he found time to rest. He hadn't eaten and was so hungry that he felt dizzy.
He sat on a chair to rest and made himself a cup of glucose saline solution to replenish his energy.
After drinking a glass of water, he took out his phone to check the messages.
A small red dot indicating a message appeared in the pinned chat bar, and Han Lin, who had been tired all day, finally had a smile on his face.
He opened the dialog box and typed a reply anxiously: [Just finished.]
[I haven’t eaten yet. I’m so hungry.]
Chaoge, as if she always had her phone in her hand, immediately replied: [You haven’t eaten yet so late?]
Han Lin took a picture of the empty paper cup in his hand and handed it to Chaoge: [Dinner, glucose saline solution.]
Chaoge replied with a crying face.
"You can't just eat that little. It'll upset your stomach." Chaoge pursed her lips as she typed.
Han Lin replied: [I have to be on duty, so you can't bring takeout into the hospital at this time. I'll see if I can find time to go downstairs and have a bowl of noodles when I'm not busy later.]
“Is it not possible now?” Chaoge asked.
[No, I can only rest for a few minutes before I have to get busy again.]
[Ah, I'm so excited. Go to bed early. I might not have time to reply to you later. Good night in advance.]
Han Lin was urged again and hurriedly put away his phone, not noticing that Chaoge didn't reply to him.
When we stopped again, it was already past eleven o'clock.
Han Lin was very hungry, so he said hello to the nurse and decided to go downstairs to have a quick bowl of noodles.
Normally, the medical staff in their hospital have a special passage. Han Lin got off the elevator and planned to go around the hall to go out.
As a result, when I walked around, I suddenly found a person sitting in the hall, taking a nap while holding something.
The little head was nodding, obviously very sleepy.
Han Lin stood there and looked at him from afar, his heart almost stopping.
Because he discovered that the person sitting there was Chaoge.
Han Lin walked over quietly.
Chaoge was sleeping soundly. There were people coming and going here, but he seemed not afraid at all and faced strangers without any guard.
Han Lin lowered his gaze, and suddenly his eyes became moist.
That's a thermos.
Even without opening the lid, Han Lin could imagine how delicious the food inside was.
At this moment, he seemed to sense someone watching him, and he opened his eyes dazedly. After a few seconds, he found that Han Lin was standing in front of him.
Chaoge happily grabbed his hand and raised the thermos in front of him as if presenting a treasure.
In the thermos was a bowl of steaming egg fried rice, the aroma wafting everywhere, causing Han Lin, who had been hungry all day, to feel his stomach growl like crazy.
Han Lin took a deep breath and blinked hard.
He looked at Chaoge, and a strong impulse surged in his heart.
This impulse made him grab Chaoge's right hand regardless of anything else, and his eyes were fixed on Chaoge's face.
He was used to thinking things through and taking every step carefully, but when neither he nor Chaoge were prepared, he stood in the hospital lobby where there were still a few pedestrians and said to Chaoge, "I want to be with you."
He said, "I want to kiss you."
"Chaoge."
The last low call was so addictive and sexy that it made the surprised Chaoge tremble with happiness.
When Chaoge recalled this, she was so embarrassed that she buried her head, covered her red face, and kicked the ground with excitement.
Ah, even after so many years, I still feel happy when I think about this.
"Chao Ge." The call from seven years ago seemed to fall into his ears again. Chao Ge turned his head to look and saw Han Lin coming down from the inpatient department and knocking on his car window.
Chaoge got out of the car with a red face, opened the trunk, and moved the food out with Han Lin.
Han Lin didn't come alone. He brought a nurse on duty in their department with him. The three of them divided the food and carried it up together.
These foods were the New Year's Eve dinner prepared by Chaoge for all the medical staff in their department, as well as the patients and their families who stayed in the hospital for the New Year.
Starting from that winter night, every year when it was Dr. Han's turn to be on duty in the cardiac surgery department, Chaoge would always prepare a delicious and warm egg fried rice, as well as accompanying side dishes and dumplings, and bring him warmth to the cardiac surgery department.
The number of patients coming and going in the hospital is different every year. Most of them can go home during the Chinese New Year, even if it's just for one night to reunite.
But there are still a few people who cannot go home and can only spend their New Year quietly in the deserted hospital.
After Chaoge came to the hospital for the first time to spend the New Year with Han Lin, he decided that whenever Han Lin was on duty, he would try his best to make the place more festive and warmer.
Carrying food with Han Lin, they delivered fried rice and dumplings to each ward. They received many thanks and countless Happy New Years.
Chaoge couldn't answer them, so she could only respond to them silently in her heart.
Happy New Year and may you get well soon.
Wait until the food is distributed.
Chaoge and Han Lin returned to Han Lin's clinic. There was a thermos on the table, which contained the New Year's Eve dinner prepared by Chaoge and Han Lin.
Chaoge took chopsticks from her bag, and Han Lin touched the thermos with a smile on his face.
"It's still the same as it was back then," he said.
The silver thermos is filled with warm egg fried rice, which fills your mouth with fragrance.
It was the taste of home that Chaoge brought to him in his originally dull life, the taste that belonged to them.
Sweeter than love.
Longer than the future.
Han Lin turned around, bent down and kissed the corner of Chaoge's lips, just like he did in the lobby on the first floor.
For the first time, I ignored everyone's gaze and just wanted to hug the person who could make me happy.
——You may not know, but that is the warmth that I want to accompany me throughout my life.

After the extra chapters are updated, the next book I will write will be "I Died Yesterday". It is an infinite flow book, and there may be a hint of horror. I am not sure. If I get scared of writing it myself, I will probably delete the horror elements. I am a coward.
Although it is a micro-horror infinite flow, it is essentially a warm and healing book. I hope that friends who are interested will help me collect it, and we will meet again in the next book if the chance arises.
