MTL - Wildfire-Chapter 60
Tao Xiaodong got off the plane just as Tang Suoyan was about to leave work.
Tao Xiaodong called: "I'm here, Brother Yan."
"it is good."
"What about you? Are you off work?" Tao Xiaodong asked.
"No, I will work overtime." Tang Suoyan was looking at the medical records in the resident doctor's office, and planned to go to the ward for a tour later. There were still a few residents in the office who were not off work.
"Working overtime again?" Tao Xiaodong walked in the airport, chatting with him, "What's the matter?"
Tang Suoyan looked up and looked around. Several residents were looking at their computer screens or sorting things, but no one paid attention to him, so he said in a low voice: "Anyway, I go home alone. Sooner or later Same."
A little doctor on duty in the corner couldn't help showing a smiley expression. The little doctor across from him glanced at her.
"Going out for dinner tonight?" Tang Suoyan asked.
"Yes, Xiaokai came to pick me up. I think we will have dinner together in the evening. There are quite a few people."
"Then don't drink too much, go back and rest early."
Tao Xiaodong responded with a smile: "I won't drink, drinking too much outside will delay things."
"En." Tang Suoyan said a few more words to him, then hung up the phone. In fact, there was still a sentence "come back early", but before opening the mouth, I changed it to something else. It was a bit out of place for the people in this room to sit here and listen.
Director Tang still thinks too much. Should you be serious at work? Whether you are serious or not in Mr. Tao's matter is not bad at all. The doctors already know it in their hearts.
Xiao Kai used to be a student of Tao Xiaodong's, and entered the industry from Tao Xiaodong. His style is too unique, and the painting skills of the students of the Academy of Fine Arts are also solid. In the past two years, the momentum has been very strong, and he started to do it very quickly.
It used to be a personal studio, a small store of twenty or thirty square meters, and he was the only one. Now several young tattoo artists from the same city have cooperated to open a shop, and Xiao Kai wants Tao Xiaodong to support him. Tao Xiaodong was very optimistic about him at the beginning, took care of him a lot, taught him a lot, and was willing to help him this time.
There is a need for something new in this industry, and these young people are the freshest. This is why there are so many young tattoo artists in Tao Xiaodong's shop. The veteran group, including Tao Xiaodong himself, first learned from others. They first learned from European, American and Japanese styles, and then slowly began to fumble to make their own things. Except for a small number of tattoo artists who keep up with the times and are willing to polish themselves, most of the other early tattoo artists are still old things. Old does not mean bad, tradition is always a classic, but the development of this industry requires both "fine" and "new".
The young tattoo artists who are getting up now are different from those when they started. They have too many new things in their minds.
"Brother Dong, I wanted to stay with you back then, but you didn't want me." Xiao Kai still couldn't understand it when he said it now, Tao Xiaodong didn't like him at the time.
"Isn't that better than staying with me?" Tao Xiaodong said.
"What's the matter, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree." Xiao Kai glanced at him, "You still face Di Ye."
Tao Xiaodong laughed: "Where is the nonsense, it has nothing to do with that."
Speaking of this, when Xiaokai was studying with Tao Xiaodong, he didn't get along well with Di, and the two choked several times. Their styles are a bit similar, but Di is also more conceptual, and Xiao Kai is more sharp. These two people don't like each other, and they always have conflicts.
Tao Xiaodong didn't keep Xiao Kai because of this, he didn't take it seriously. The reason why he didn't stay was because Xiaokai's skills were not good enough in Tao Xiaodong's opinion at that time, he was just a newcomer, and he was too immature. Although he is optimistic that he is willing to help more, but the tattoo artists in the field of Dongda University are very good, and if they are not top, they will not be able to stay.
At the dinner table, there were several other people in Xiaokai's shop, all of whom were quite young. People like Tao Xiaodong are something they look up to. It is very rare for a person of this level to come and chat with them and talk about his thoughts.
On Tao Xiaodong's left is Di Ye, and on the right is a boy wearing a peaked cap. He doesn't talk much, he's quite an introverted kid, and he only passes things to Tao Xiaodong from time to time.
Tao Xiaodong spilled a cup, and the warm water in the cup spilled on the boy's legs. Tao Xiaodong hurriedly lifted the cup up: "I didn't pay attention, I'm sorry, brother."
"It's all right," the boy stood up and wiped it with his back to the person, then came back and sat down and said, "I'll do it later."
Tao Xiaodong apologized to him again.
The boy said, "It's all right, brother."
Tao Xiaodong didn't come here this time just to help Xiaokai, he came here to talk about cooperation. The first two days were very busy, and I could only make a phone call with Tang Suoyan when I returned to the hotel at night.
Tang Suoyan turned on the speakerphone and chatted with him while exercising on the balcony.
The sports meeting was a little breathless, Tao Xiaodong chatted and laughed a few times, Tang Suoyan asked him why he was laughing, Tao Xiaodong just laughed and didn't speak.
Tang Suo said, "Ask you."
"I only think about this every day, you can't guess?" Tao Xiaodong lay down on the bed, "I'm too filthy."
So Tang Suoyan laughed too, and asked him if he was tired.
Tao Xiaodong said he was not tired.
Tang Suoyan was always "tired" and "sleepy" on the phone when he was on a business trip, but when he came to Tao Xiaodong, he was never tired or sleepy, and everything was fine.
After all, Tian Yi's two youngest sons were born before Tao Xiaodong was at home.
Tang Suoyan went to see it for him. Tian Yi was cutting fruit for his wife when he got off work, and the two cubs slept peacefully next to each other in the crib. Tang Suoyan took a bouquet of flowers and gently knocked on the door.
Tian Yi raised his head: "Hey brother Xue is here."
He introduced to Song Zhu: "This is Brother Xue."
Song Zhu nodded and said hello first. He was also straightforward, and asked Tian Yi: "Is that... Xiaodong?"
Before Tian Yi said anything, Tang Suoyan smiled first, and nodded in yes.
Tian Yi took the flowers away and put them on the bedside cabinet. Tang Suoyan looked at the two children, two babies weighing about five catties, they were too small, they were small everywhere, and they looked soft. Tang Suoyan smiled and said, "It's not like you."
"Like a mother." Tian Yi followed suit, happy to be a father.
Tang Suoyan asked, "Can I take pictures?"
"Is there anything that can't be done, I guess I have taken more than 200 pictures." Tian Yi said with a smile.
Tang Suoyan turned off the flash, took a picture of the two babies separately, and took another picture together, and sent it to Tao Xiaodong.
Red envelopes were placed on the left and right, and they were pressed under the small mattress. On the left are two thick red envelopes, which were given by Tao Xiaodong, and on the right are two pairs of gold bracelets and golden locks, which were prepared by Tang Suoyan.
"Then thank Godfather and..." Tian Yi got stuck, paused before saying, "And Uncle Tang... Forget it, it's Uncle Tang."
If you talk about it from Tian Yi, you have to call Tang Suoyan "uncle". Tang Suoyan is older than Tian Yi, and it is too old to call him that. If you talk about it from Tao Xiaodong, it must be another godfather, but it feels like taking advantage of others by calling it that way.
"Anything is fine." Tang Suoyan smiled, "An appellation, whatever you want."
Tian Yi sent Tao Xiaodong a photo of the two babies as soon as they were carried out of the delivery room in the morning. When Tang Suoyan sent him another photo, he looked a little different.
In the evening, Tao Xiaodong played a video with Tang Suoyan at the hotel, and Tao Xiaodong was still a little anxious to talk about the two little guys.
Tang Suoyan asked him, "When will you be back?"
Tao Xiaodong said: "Sunday's air ticket will arrive at noon."
"Then I'll pick you up." Tang Suo said.
Tao Xiaodong lay on his side on the bed and turned over. In the video, Tang Suoyan was reading a book in his pajamas, so handsome. We have been together for a while, but Tao Xiaodong is still fascinated by him from time to time.
Rubbing his face against the pillow, Tao Xiaodong called out "Brother Yan", and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Tao Xiaodong raised his voice and asked.
Someone at the door answered, "I, Brother Dong."
Can't tell who it is through the door, Tao Xiaodong got up to open the door, and said to Tang Suoyan, "I'll open the door."
Tang Suo said, "Go."
At the door is the boy in Xiaokai's shop, the one Tao Xiaodong spilled water on his pants last time.
Tao Xiaodong was a little surprised and forgot what his name was, so he called "little brother" and let him in.
The boy called "Brother" again and said, "I saw that you didn't eat much at noon. Is it too spicy? I bought you dinner from a Cantonese restaurant."
Tao Xiaodong said "Yo" and thanked him, and then asked him, "Is there anything you can do for me?"
He thought the boy was begging him for something, or wanted to start a small business, and wanted him to tell him something. In the end, the person just gave him a meal, nothing else.
Tao Xiaodong asked him, "Are you all right?"
The boy said, "It's okay, I live near here, and I'll bring you something by the way."
Tao Xiaodong looked at him, and the boy also looked up at him, Tao Xiaodong instantly understood. What dinner is served at this time.
The boy has studs on his ears, tattoos on his fingers, and a baggy coat with long sleeves. He looked up again and called "Brother".
Tao Xiaodong said in his heart that you don't want to be "brother", if you continue to be "brother", I can't explain it to my brother.
"Wait a minute." Tao Xiaodong interrupted him, went to bed to get his mobile phone, and smiled, "Actually, I'm done eating."
The boy said "ah", watched him take the mobile phone, and said to the video: "Brother Yan, I have a little brother here."
Tang Suoyan gave a faint "hmm".
"Just leave the video?" Tao Xiaodong asked softly, "Should I call you later? Will my chatting affect your reading?"
Tang Suoyan leaned against the head of the bed, turned a page and said, "Leave it alone."
Tao Xiaodong put his phone aside, and said to the boy casually: "I opened the door for you and forgot to turn on the video, my boyfriend."
The boy was also a sensible person, nodded, asked Tao Xiaodong two professional questions, and then left.
Tao Xiaodong closed the door, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard him go, went over to get the phone, and moaned with a drawn out voice.
Tang Suoyan was still sitting there reading the book, without looking up at him, he lowered his head and asked, "What are you humming?"
Tao Xiaodong is called "Brother Yan".
Tang Suo said, "Yes."
There is no need to cover up in front of Tang Suoyan, nor can it be covered up. Tao Xiaodong lay there, pillowed on his arm, and said in a muffled voice, "I am innocent."
"Really?" Tang Suoyan glanced at him.
"Yes, I'm really wronged." Tao Xiaodong snorted a few more times, "I didn't even remember his name."
"You don't dare to say it after remembering." Tang Suoyan took a pen by the bedside, and while reading a book, he drew two strokes on the book to make a mark, wrote a line of comments, and said slowly, "Long good."
Tao Xiaodong knew it was over, so he said softly, "Brother Yan, forgive me."
After Tang Suoyan finished writing, he put away the pen and put it back, and said, "Don't forgive me."
"Forgive me." Tao Xiaodong actually couldn't help laughing a little bit. He was about to laugh when he tapped his finger on the screen, feeling homesick.
Just as Tang Suoyan was about to speak, the screen on Tao Xiaodong's side suddenly went black. Tao Xiaodong was taken aback by surprise, and said "Damn".
"What's wrong?" Tang Suoyan asked.
"The power is out, maybe it's tripped." Tao Xiaodong's side was completely dark, and someone in the corridor came out to ask what was going on.
"It will be fine in a while." Tang Suo said.
Tao Xiaodong's eyes were completely dark, and he couldn't see anything except Tang Suoyan on the screen. The corridor was very noisy, Tao Xiaodong didn't care much about the power outage, it didn't matter if it stopped, he was going to sleep after the video anyway.
"Are you not angry?" Tao Xiaodong poked the screen again.
Tang Suoyan glanced at the pitch-black screen: "I'm angry, but when you lose the power, I can't get angry again."
Tao Xiaodong also asked: "What's the matter?"
"I can't bear it." Tang Suoyan smiled towards the video, "Xiaodong's business trip is very hard, this time forget it."
