MTL - Wildfire-Chapter 22
When ordering, the waiter asked if there were any taboos.
Tao Xiaodong immediately answered, "Don't eat ginger."
The waiter respectfully said: "Okay, is there any more?"
Tao Xiaodong looked at Tang Suoyan and asked with a smile, "Is there any more?"
Tang Suoyan didn't even smile, and said "no more" seriously.
Tao Xiaodong took a sip of water, and Tang Suoyan also drank water. The two of them met eyes and couldn't help smiling.
After the waiter left, Tao Huainan looked confused: "Who doesn't eat ginger?"
"Me." Tang Suoyan said proactively.
Before, they obviously went out to eat together every day, but I didn't hear him say that at that time. And it seems that these little taboos in preferences such as not eating **** or chopped green onion sound like a child can say it. As soon as Tang Suoyan's mature and stable character came out, there was a sense of discord and contrast from his mouth.
"Ah..." Tao Huainan was a little surprised, wanted to laugh but felt embarrassed.
"I'll just say it casually." Tang Suo said, "Your brother must mention it."
"Then you read, if you didn't remember last time, can you forget it this time?" Tao Xiaodong asked Tang Suoyan, "Are you busy recently?"
Tang Suo said it was okay.
The two younger ones don't talk much, Chi Cheng doesn't like to talk in the first place, and Tao Huainan doesn't talk much when eating. Just pick up one dish and eat the other. Tao Huainan took a bite of the sweet pepper, frowned, and bumped Chi Cheng with his arm. After a while, I ate a piece of green vegetables and hit it again.
The two adults kept talking, but at this moment Tang Suoyan suddenly called "Xiao Nan".
Tao Huainan responded, "Hey."
"Don't like to eat?"
Tao Huainan laughed immediately: "No."
"Bully his little brother." Tao Xiaodong pierced him, "Choose honest ones."
"Vitamin A." Tang Suoyan asked, "Do you still need me to tell you about it?"
"No, remember." Tao Huainan had a good face, "I eat deliciously, you can talk about your own."
Tang Suoyan said to Chi Cheng, "Give him vegetables."
Chi Cheng picked up a chopstick and put it in Tao Huainan's bowl, and Tao Huainan ate it obediently with his eyelids down.
Tang Suoyan said to Tao Xiaodong: "I just realized that Xiao Nan is also very careful."
"Just found out?" Tao Xiaodong laughed, "It's a little fox."
"I didn't see it before."
Tao Xiaodong said after a while: "You don't even know whose brother it is? How can my brother be so obedient from the inside to the outside? That is to say, he can't see it. If he can see it, he might go to Jiewa. The children in the family have two minds."
Hearing what he said, Tang Suoyan smiled, looked at him and asked, "Are you smart?"
Tao Xiaodong also looked back at him, nodded and said, "Many."
Tang Suoyan raised his eyebrows: "How much?"
Tao Xiaodong: "Not much, it all depends on how to use it."
After Tao Xiaodong finished speaking, he laughed first, thought for a while and said: "If you want to use it on one person, it's quite enough."
Tang Suoyan withdrew his gaze, took a sip of water from the water glass, smiled and nodded.
Have dinner on a weekday, and the next day is not a weekend. Each has its own affairs, and this meal will not last too long. The chosen place is not too far from Tang Suoyan's community, and this is Tao Xiaodong's purposely chosen place, so that Tang Suoyan won't have to spend too much time on the road.
In fact, Tang Suoyan often comes to this store, but he didn't mention it just now.
When paying the bill, the manager saw him and said hello.
Tang Suoyan replied politely, very politely.
Tao Xiaodong watched him say hello to people, and remembered that Tang Suoyan's impression was like this at first, he was a nice person, but cold and distant. Thinking of this, Tao Xiaodong couldn't help but think of Tang Ning, and remembered what Tang Suo said last time, they were actually the same kind of people.
Tao Xiaodong didn't know Tangning very well, and the few casual contacts and exchanges were not deep.
But he always felt that this was wrong, and they were not that similar.
After a few minutes, Tao Xiaodong felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have thought so quickly just now, and he shouldn't have thought of Tangning.
Whatever you want.
Tao Xiaodong was somewhat embarrassed when he and Tangning faced each other face to face, it wasn't because of his own embarrassment, it was just that the scene where old lovers met was very awkward. In the awkwardness, there is a bit of inexplicable indecency, and even more awkward, another kind of irrelevant regret for the disappearance of a relationship of more than ten years.
Naturally, Tangning and Tang Suoyan also saw each other. They looked at each other, but neither of them spoke first. Both of them had calm faces, and no one was surprised or touched by anyone's eyes.
I don't know if there is something in my heart, anyway, there is no one on my face. It seems that everything has really passed, and it is not uncomfortable to meet old acquaintances.
Tao Xiaodong spoke first and said hello: "Doctor Tang."
Tangning nodded and called "President Tao", then looked at Tang Suoyan and called "Brother Yan".
This "Brother Yan" yelled, and most of the three of them were worried. If you add a little fox not far away, that's the four thoughts in five people's hearts.
Tang Suoyan responded, and then asked, "Come over for dinner too?"
"Well," Tangning looked back at his car, just at this moment someone got out of the car, Tangning said, "Colleague do me a favor, I'll treat you to dinner."
The colleague and Tang Suoyan obviously met face to face, raised their hands and shook them with a smile.
Judging from this estimate, they don't know that they have already divided.
Tangning looked at Tang Suoyan and Tao Xiaodong again, and asked Tao Xiaodong, "Is that your brother? I heard you mention it before."
Tao Xiaodong nodded: "Yes, our younger brothers."
"They're all pretty handsome," Tangning smiled lightly, "Like you."
Tao Xiaodong smiled and said "thank you".
There is nothing to say here, no matter how much I say, it is not in line with my current embarrassing status.
A lot of things were actually quite serious. Apart from going out for medical aid activities, Tao Xiaodong and Tang Suoyan had dinner together in the city only two times, and Tangning saw them both times.
This matter has to be discussed in a more mysterious way, maybe people can't speculate on their minds, and if their minds are not right, they will feel uncomfortable.
To put it in a more crooked way, it can also be said that whoever should see it must see it, and it cannot be avoided.
After saying goodbye to each other, Tao Xiaodong and Tangning said goodbye to each other, eat what they should eat, and leave when they should eat.
This incident made Tao Xiaodong a little speechless when he said goodbye to Tang Suoyan, so Tao Xiaodong pretended to be natural and said that he would make an appointment another day.
Tang Suoyan nodded, "Yes", said goodbye to the two younger ones, and then said to Tao Xiaodong, "Send me a picture of my younger brother's eyes in two days."
"Remember." Tao Xiaodong said, "Go back."
The two left separately. Tao Xiaodong thought it was quite natural at the time, but after thinking about it later, it was natural. If it was natural, he would have to mention Tangning, he would have to ask Tang Suoyan how he felt when he saw Dr. Tang, and then push him, saying why don't you two chat more.
The fact that he didn't mention it made him seem more awkward than Tang Suoyan.
Tao Xiaodong never loses the chain when it comes to speaking, but this time he really feels that he is not very round.
On the third day after that, Chicheng's eyesight improved a lot. Tao Xiaodong took a photo and sent it to Tang Suoyan, saying: It's okay, Brother Yan.
The working hours are specially chosen, the busiest time is after 9:00 in the morning. At this time, Tang Suoyan was either undergoing surgery or going out to the clinic, and he didn't carry his mobile phone at all.
So Tang Suoyan didn't reply this morning, and only replied after twelve o'clock at noon: recovery is pretty good.
Tao Xiaodong was eating a melon after finishing his meal. He glanced at his phone, but he didn't return it, so he put it back in his pocket.
After eating three pieces of melon in a row, Tao Xiaodong rinsed his mouth and went upstairs to draw a picture.
Once things are not pretty, it means too many clues have been revealed. Moderation is all too important in a comfortable relationship. No matter how far a joke is made, it is a tacit acquiescence in getting along with each other, and it is comfortable within this range. But if the mind is exposed too much, it will easily annoy people, even if it is not annoying, it will easily embarrass people.
Tao Xiaodong seldom embarrasses others, so he is not annoying.
According to Tao Xiaodong's original thought, he didn't even want to contact Tang Suoyan during this time. The meeting this time was purely an accident, so Tao Xiaodong didn't plan to meet again soon after meeting this time.
He also went out to meet old friends, relax his mind, and watch some good works.
Tang Suoyan is still the home and the hospital. In terms of life trajectory, Tang Suoyan's life is actually very rigid. But there is nothing really rigid in the hospital. The patients that are handled are more difficult than the next. Every day in a white coat is a challenge.
Tangning came over the week after that encounter.
Tang Suoyan worked overtime, and when he got out of the elevator, he saw someone standing in front of his house.
Tangning saw him and called out "Brother Yan".
Tang Suoyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
Tangning whispered, "I'm here to get something."
"What is it?" Tang Suoyan asked him as he unlocked it. In fact, he had never changed the password, and Tangning knew it.
"I don't have a file. I remember it's in the study," Tangning said.
"Hmm." Tang Suoyan asked him, "How did you get here?"
"Drive, come straight after get off work." Tangning answered every sentence neatly.
After Tang Suoyan went in, he ignored him, washed his hands and changed his clothes. Tangning changed into her slippers and went to the study.
Tangning took out a file bag, Tang Suoyan asked him, "Did you find it?"
"I found it." Tangning flipped through the pages twice and said, "Then I'll be leaving first."
Tang Suoyan nodded: "Well, drive slowly."
Tangning said hello, took her things and went to the door to change her shoes.
Tang Suoyan looked at him. After Tangning changed her shoes, she didn't turn around and open the door immediately. He stood there for two seconds, then spoke slowly, and asked Tang Suoyan hesitantly: "You and Xiaodong...are you okay now?"
This question is kind of inappropriate.
Tang Suoyan looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows.
Tangning pursed her lips, but Tang Suoyan didn't answer, so he asked more directly, "How are you?"
Tang Suoyan said calmly: "Very good, Xiaodong is a nice person."
Tangning looked straight at him, as if she still wanted to say something.
Tang Suoyan raised his eyebrows more clearly, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Tangning was silent for a long time, but finally said nothing, "It's nothing."
After speaking, he turned around and left, closing the door gently, the sound of the door lock closing was dull and muffled.
