Chapter 27 You Love Me Xiao Zhier’s fingertips lightly touched Xu Ze’s collarbone…
Xiao Zhier lowered his eyes, watching the people around him carefully wipe the ink off his palms, and then he looked at Xu Ze with a much softer gaze: "It turns out that we knew each other so long ago, why didn't you remind me earlier."
Xu Ze's eyebrows curved, and his voice was even softer than his movements, like a whisper: "Brother Xiao was busy at the time, and we didn't even know each other's names, so how could we be considered acquaintances?"
He paused for a moment, and looked up at Xiao Zhier with an extremely serious gaze: "We only met briefly back then, and now we meet again after a long separation. This is what we call fate."
However, for Xu Ze, he had waited for this acquaintance for too long.
Xiao Zhier had no idea of the myriad thoughts in Xu Ze's mind. He just looked at Xu Ze with a smile and gently tapped the back of the young man's hand twice with his fingertips.
He met Xu Ze's gaze, his amber peach eyes filled with a soft smile like spring water: "Then I really want to treat you to a meal this time, but we won't go to a restaurant. Come to my house in a few days."
Xu Ze cooperated and smiled in surprise: "Brother Xiao, are you planning to cook for me?"
Xiao Zhier raised the corners of his lips and raised his chin like a pampered cat. He raised an eyebrow at Xu Ze and said, "Are you looking forward to it?"
Xu Ze nodded vigorously: "Of course, I can't wait to go home with Brother Xiao now."
Half true and half false, Xu Ze actually spoke out his true feelings.
"You wish."
Xiao Zhier glanced at him in a reproachful manner, and turned around to see the metal door of the CT room slowly sliding open. He quickly stood up and walked forward, holding Chen Tong's arm: "How is it?"
Chen Tong was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He leaned weakly on Xiao Zhier and shook his head tremblingly: "I'm afraid I'm out of it. I still have a bag of spicy strips in my drawer. Brother Xiao, remember to share it with my brothers for me..."
Xiao Zhier rolled his eyes and put Chen Tong's arm on his shoulders: "Come on, I feel ashamed to have such a small inheritance. You should give it away yourself."
As he said this, he glanced at Xu Ze, who was also amused by Chen Tong's "last words". He shook his head and helped Xiao Zhier carry Chen Tong back to the emergency room.
"how's it going?"
At the door of the emergency room, Xu Censheng, who had parked his car, was waiting eagerly. He was shocked to see Chen Tong being half-carried and half-held back by Xiao Zhier, and hurried forward to lend a hand and freed Xu Ze.
On the way back, he sent a message to his colleagues. The CT images had been retrieved. Xu Ze took a quick glance and knew that his judgment was basically correct.
Xu Ze turned his head to look outside the emergency room and called out, "Brother Xiao."
Xiao Zhier was busy wiping the sweat off Chen Tong's forehead. Hearing the voice, he quickly came to Xu Ze with a tissue in his hand and asked, "Any results?"
Xu Ze glanced at the ball of paper in his palm, took it and threw it into the trash can in the clinic.
He turned the computer screen and pointed at the CT image analysis displayed on the screen to show Xiao Zhier: "Look here, the normal appendix diameter is basically less than or equal to 6mm, and his appendix diameter has swollen to more than 7."
Xu Ze circled the picture with his finger: "This shadow is the fluid accumulation in the cavity, and the boundary is not clear, which means there is exudate, which also shows that there are inflammatory changes around the appendix..."
He explained the situation to Xiao Zhier, then turned around and poked his colleague's shoulder: "I remember that the operating room can arrange an operation this afternoon?"
The colleague shrugged and said, "Then you should ask Brother Liu if he is still free. He has three surgeries today."
Xu Ze smiled and said, "Come on, let him rest. I have to attend class today anyway, so I'll go first."
After a few words, the two decided to let Xu Ze be the chief surgeon for Chen Tong. His colleague confirmed the time of the emergency surgery with the operating room on the spot. Xu Ze then smiled and comforted Xiao Zhier: "It's a small problem. Your student's condition is relatively simple. We can have the surgery today."
As he spoke, Xu Ze turned around and waved to Xu Cen Sheng, indicating that Xu Cen Sheng should bring Chen Tong in.
Seeing that Chen Tong still looked very bad, Xu Ze also said seriously: "Have you eaten lunch?"
Chen Tong heard the conversation between Xu Ze and Xiao Zhier just now, and he also had a clue in his mind. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "No, I didn't feel well at noon, so I went back to the dormitory to rest."
Xu Ze smiled and said, "It just so happens that you don't need to eat or drink before the operation. You don't have to wait for a few more hours."
He walked around to the seat opposite his colleague and sat down, turning on the computer while instructing, "I'll write the order first, Xu Censheng, go and get him the hospitalization procedures."
Xiao Zhier was startled: "I'll go, let Xu Censheng stay here with him."
Xu Ze smiled and said, "It's okay, let him run errands. Brother Xiao, take your student directly to the third floor of the inpatient building and let him rest in the ward first. Some preoperative examinations will be arranged later, which will probably include electrocardiogram, coagulation function, biochemical tests, etc. After I write the list, the nurse station will notify you to go."
Xiao Zhier nodded, his brows slightly furrowed: "Then I will take him to find a bed first, and I have to call his parents to tell them about the situation."
Fortunately, the emergency department of Shaocheng Hospital was not too busy today. Under Xu Ze's arrangement, Xiao Zhier and Chen Tong were successfully arranged into a four-person ward.
Xiao Zhier watched the nurse give Chen Tong an IV. He leaned over and patted Chen Tong on the shoulder: "It's okay, it's a minor operation. Your lead doctor is my friend. Just wait for the operation."
Seeing Chen Tong nod, Xiao Zhier smiled and waved his phone: "Then I'll call your parents. You can take a rest for a while. If you have anything, send me a message."
As the painkillers gradually took effect, Chen Tong's condition recovered rapidly visibly. The most obvious thing was that he now had the mood and energy to show off with Xiao Zhier.
Looking at Chen Tong who saluted but made eye contact with him, Xiao Zhier couldn't help but raised his hand and patted him on the forehead: "Stop making trouble!"
After a pause, Xiao Zhier slowed down his tone. He rubbed Chen Tong's forehead twice like petting a cat, and smiled gently: "Rest well, you will be fine after the operation."
Chen Tong came from another place to take the exam. Although his parents were worried when they learned about the situation, even if they bought the earliest ticket, they would not be able to arrive in Shaocheng until the early morning, so they would definitely not be able to accompany him during the surgery.
After Xiao Zhier learned about the situation, he added Chen Tong's mother on WeChat, took a few videos and sent them to her to comfort her worried heart.
Fortunately, the infusion was given in time. Since Chen Tong no longer felt much pain, he has been full of energy. He can do stupid things, play tricks, and act cute with ease, which made Xiao Zhier laugh so hard, not to mention Chen's mother on the other end of the video.
With Chen Tong's jokes, Chen's father and mother transferred the money paid by Xiao Zhier to him and hurried to book the tickets.
Xiao Zhier stuffed a tissue into Chen Tong's hand and motioned him to wipe his sweat: "Okay, take a break, you're sweating again."
He is good-looking and has a good temper, so students are naturally willing to listen to Xiao Zhier, and Chen Tong is no exception.
Chen Tong responded obediently and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Looking at his rough method, Xiao Zhier shook his head helplessly. When he was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside the door.
When Xiao Zhier heard the voice, he looked and saw Xu Ze coming behind a nurse.
The two looked at each other, and Xiao Zhier quickly stood up to make way for the nurse. He took two steps outside and tilted his head to look at Xu Ze: "Why are you here? Aren't there any patients in the emergency room?"
Xu Ze laughed. He handed the coffee bag in his hand to Xiao Zhier and said in a brisk voice, "It's not very busy today. Brother Li is enough on his own. I am here to attend the class today. Since you don't need me, I don't want to work overtime."
Xiao Zhier had seen Xu Ze's resistance to overtime work last time. He smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Then why did you take the initiative to perform surgery on Chen Tong?"
Xu Ze did not answer immediately. He took two steps forward and approached Xiao Zhier. The young man stared into his eyes, and his dark pupils were filled with naked desire for aggression.
Xiao Zhi'er was inexplicably flustered. He subconsciously took a half step back. After his back hit the wall, Xiao Zhi'er realized belatedly that he had been forced into a corner by Xu Ze without realizing it.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart. Then he raised his hand and placed it on Xu Ze's chest, with the base of his palm pressing above his heart. Xiao Zhier even felt that he could touch Xu Ze's heartbeat.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
His heartbeat also seemed to be faster than usual.
Xiao Zhier suddenly curled his lips, raised his eyes, and there was a playful smile in his eyes, as if he could penetrate Xu Ze's pupils and reach directly into his soul.
He narrowed his eyes, and looked at Xu Ze with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "You seem a little nervous too."
Xiao Zhier has been practicing piano and calligraphy since he was a child, and his fingers are long and beautiful. His hand is placed on Xu Ze's heart, with his fingertips slightly bent, just resting on the half of the collarbone exposed under Xu Ze's collar.
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zhier lightly hooked Xu Ze's collarbone with his fingertips.
Xu Ze’s breath hitched.
The two of them were so close that they could almost feel each other's breathing and listen to each other's heartbeat. Xu Ze's voice became lower and slightly hoarse: "Why am I so nervous? Why did I take the initiative to operate on classmate Chen? Doesn't Brother Xiao know?"
Xiao Zhier lowered his eyelashes, his gaze fell on his fingers, looking at the light red skin slowly rippling under his fingertips, Xiao Zhier couldn't help laughing out loud.
His heart was filled with joy, and even his eyes seemed to be filled with sparkling gems.
Xiao Zhier raised his eyes to look at Xu Ze, his voice steady and clear: "You took the initiative to ask to be Chen Tong's chief surgeon because he is my student. And you are nervous because..."
He deliberately lengthened his voice, but his tone was light, making it difficult to tell how much sincerity was in his words, and no one knew how to judge Xiao Zhier's emotions at this moment when he said such a sentence.
Xiao Zhier smiled softly: "Because you like me."
