Chapter 51 Bai Yueguang
Chu Yunqi said without hesitation: "He won't."
Based on his observation of Zhou Jingzhan, Chu Yunqi found that when facing patients with poor prognosis, he would often persuade their families to give up. He never cared about the fame and fortune that difficult operations could bring him. He simply believed that people should live with dignity.
The patients now have severe heart disease and may not survive from birth. Even if they survive, they will have to face multiple major surgeries when they grow up. It is impossible for them to live like normal people.
Chu Mingxu could tell from their words that Zhou Jingzhan could perform this surgery: "How do you know he can't? I have to ask him in person."
Chu Yunqi needed an opportunity to communicate with Zhou Jingzhan, so he took the initiative to speak: "It just so happens that I have to go to the hospital this afternoon. You can call your comrades to talk to you in person."
It was also embarrassing to stay at home, so Chu Yunqi returned to the hospital early and did rehabilitation in the rehabilitation department. He waited until the appointed time before going to the cardiothoracic surgery department.
There were only two people in the reception room, Zhou Jingzhan and a lady with her back to Chu Yunqi, probably the wife of his brother's comrade-in-arms.
Chu Yunqi pushed open the door calmly, and when the girl turned around, he was stunned.
The person who came turned out to be his high school crush Lu Youyu.
After not seeing each other for many years, Lu Youyu's appearance has not changed much. She has taken off her school uniform and is wearing casual clothes today with a low ponytail. Compared with the purity in Chu Yunqi's memory, she has a touch of gentleness.
Chu Yunqi's gaze inevitably fell on her belly, and he found it hard to accept for a moment.
Zhou Jingzhan saw his every move clearly, and was already burning with jealousy, but he didn't show it to Lu Youyu. He smiled and said, "He's still as reckless as before. Don't bother with him. Let's get down to business."
What he said sounded normal, but he actually had ulterior motives. Back then, Chu Yunqi was handsome, had good grades, and had a flamboyant and unrestrained personality in high school. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a heartthrob.
But it was this person who persisted in pursuing Lu Youyu to the end, and even after a whole year, he still failed to catch up with her.
The main reason was that Chu Yunqi was in his rebellious period at the time and had an overly flamboyant personality. Lu Youyu admitted that she did not like his personality.
In fact, Chu Yunqi didn't like Lu Youyu at the beginning. He had always been ranked first in mathematics since he started high school, until he skipped a grade to the third year of high school. In every exam, there was always someone who scored two points higher than him or the two of them tied. The most annoying thing was that that person was a liberal arts student.
Chu Yunqi was not convinced and went to Lu Youyu's class again and again to show his presence. Over time, he found that he seemed to admire Lu Youyu a little.
A girl who looks weak and fragile can actually gain the upper hand in the affiliated high school where there are many geniuses, and her math scores have always been higher than those of boys in the science class.
It can be said to be a myth, and later she did create a myth.
In the college entrance examination that year, she was undoubtedly the top scorer, and then she had no contact with Chu Yunqi, and the matter ended in nothing.
Chu Yunqi finally came to his senses and sat down next to Zhou Jingzhan. "It's been more than ten years since we last met."
Lu Youyu no longer felt uncomfortable around him like before and said calmly, "We haven't seen each other since graduation. I heard you went abroad. When did you come back?"
"A few months now. How about you?"
Lu Youyu smiled and said, "It's okay. Now this is a problem." She pointed to her stomach and said, "I didn't expect to find you two after all this wandering."
Chu Yunqi's thoughts at this time were the same as most people's. He wanted to persuade her to have an abortion, as she had plenty of opportunities at such a young age.
Before he could figure out how to start, Lu Youyu's work phone rang, and she had to leave first: "Sorry, I have an emergency at work."
"Let's talk next time. I'll take you downstairs. He's not feeling well." Zhou Jingzhan put an end to Chu Yunqi's thoughts with just one sentence.
So Chu Yunqi and his white moonlight said goodbye in a hurry.
When Zhou Jingzhan returned to the reception room, Chu Yunqi was already lying on the sofa. He had received a cross-border call, but he pretended to be fine. Zhou Jingzhan said disdainfully, "Get up. This is not your home."
Chu Yunqi was still hurt by the kick his father gave him, so he didn't move. He just asked, "Are you going to perform surgery on Lu Youyu?"
Zhou Jingzhan answered ambiguously: "I can't do it."
Chu Yunqi looked at the ceiling, "But she really wanted to keep the child."
Zhou Jingzhan glared at him. "Are you crazy? You pushed me into this fire pit for your first love. If I succeed in this operation, it's fine. But if it fails, how will others see me? Fame and fortune, and disregarding human life, these words will be put on my head."
"That's why I don't want you to do it."
Zhou Jingzhan's anger dissipated and he changed the subject: "Where did you go yesterday?"
Chu Yunqi glared at him and said, "Go home."
Zhou Jingzhan kicked his calf and said, "Come to the treatment room to change the dressing."
Chu Yunqi thought for a while and realized that it was indeed the day to change the dressing. He obediently went over and waited, slowly unbuttoning his clothes.
While Zhou Jingzhan was preparing the things he needed, he continued the previous topic, "Just take good care of it when you get home, why are you running around?"
After saying that, he turned around and saw a bruise on Chu Yunqi's waist. He then asked, "How did this happen?"
"My dad kicked me." Chu Yunqi's voice was normal.
“…”
Zhou Jingzhan changed his dressing silently, his movements very gently.
After a long while, Chu Yunqi finally spoke in a slow and gentle voice: "Zhou Jingzhan, I don't know why you were suddenly unhappy yesterday. Maybe I said something wrong. I apologize to you. But I was also very sad at the time. My parents didn't like me, and even you didn't like me anymore."
Zhou Jingzhan was silent, and Chu Yunqi added, "Can you tell me why you were angry that day?"
"I feel like you've never cared about me. To be with you, I gave up going abroad, transferred schools, skipped grades, and studied medicine. But you did such an outrageous thing to go against Uncle Chu, and you never considered me."
Chu Yunqi recalled everything he had said.
At first, Zhou's parents planned to send Zhou Jingzhan to study in high school abroad. In order to have an easy life, Zhou Jingzhan often went abroad to participate in competitions when he was in junior high school, so that he could go abroad smoothly.
But later, for some reason, he didn't go to the airport even though he was there. He went to a school in China that was very close to his home. Not long after, I inexplicably transferred to his school and had to get up more than an hour earlier every day.
Later, Chu Yunqi skipped a grade to avoid joining the army, and soon Zhou Jingzhan made the same decision. Even when Zhou Jingzhan chose the medical department when filling out his application form, Chu Yunqi didn't notice anything wrong.
From this point of view, Zhou Jingzhan has liked him for a long time, much earlier than he thought when he was seventeen years old. Chu Yunqi found it ridiculous that he only discovered it now.
At this moment, Xu Ye suddenly pushed the door open and saw the two of them alone. He was jealous and said, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Jingzhan frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "What are you arguing about?"
Xu Ye glared at Chu Yunqi in frustration, deliberately procrastinating, fearing that the two would do something shameful.
A man of integrity fears no slander. Zhou Jingzhan continued his movements. After a moment, he said softly, "Alright."
Chu Yunqi pretended to be pitiful and stretched out his left hand to show him, "It hurts."
Zhou Jingzhan knew his little thoughts very well, but since Xu Ye was still there, he didn't expose them and started to button up Chu Yunqi's shirt.
Xu Ye didn't leave the whole time, his face turning green as he watched the intimate interaction between the two.
Zhou Jingzhan was not as idle as him, so he went out to do some business.
There were only two people left in the treatment room.
Chu Yunqi looked at Xu Ye's furious expression with great satisfaction and deliberately provoked him, "It's no use glaring at me. Zhou Jingzhan doesn't like you."
"Why are you showing off? It's hard to say whether you can pick up the scalpel again. Also, how long do you think Teacher Zhou can stay fresh with a scar that long? After the car accident, you have nothing left."
His words really touched Chu Yunqi's sore spot, but he still wouldn't show weakness in front of a young boy. "So what? Your teacher Zhou has to come to my house every year to pay New Year's greetings and call me brother."
After saying that, he left without looking back and went to find Ding Xinye.
