White clouds, summer night.
After Zhao Yuan performed the last operation and took a shower, he was in a daze for a while in the empty operating room.
Some people often feel that today's society is unfair.
In fact, society has never been fair. If it was unfair in the past, it will never be fair in the future.
Many people think that when their lives are better and the economy is getting richer, society will be able to distribute wealth in a bowl of water.
In fact, the better life gets, the more high-end resources will be controlled by the top powers, while those at the bottom are simply deceived.
Zhao Yuan has not calculated his current net worth, but a rough calculation shows that he is worth 10 to 20 million.
However, in this era, one or two million people can only be regarded as being separated from the ordinary people, and there is still a long way to go from the high-end elite circle.
However, money may not completely measure a person's level.
At least Zhao Yuan's current position in the industry has surpassed more than 90% of his peers.
But Zhao Yuan has always warned himself clearly and rationally that even though he has achieved a little bit of success, he must not be proud, because in this world, there are many people who are better than him.
Others think Zhao Yuan's people and things are particularly hypocritical.
But Zhao Yuan's inner world is difficult to explain to others.
He had a short but rich life experience.
That period of life experience seems to be a key. After integrating into this world, it carries some mission.
Many people think that he can slow down and enjoy life without having to work so hard.
Facing the sea, a warm spring day with flowers blooming is by no means what Zhao Yuan pursues.
Just as he was about to go out, Chen Si sent a message asking him if he had surgery.
Zhao Yuan looked at the time and saw that it was already eight o'clock. The infectious diseases department of the hospital should have gotten off work long ago. She knew that she was in the main hospital and waited for her to get off work.
"I just finished the operation and am getting ready to get off work. Are you still in the hospital?"
"Yeah, there's a lot of material today. I just finished sorting it out and I'm so hungry."
Zhao Yuan couldn't help laughing, "Are you suggesting that I invite you to dinner?"
Chen Si quickly sent a message, "It's okay if I ask you."
Zhao Yuan and Chen Si met in the underground parking lot.
Chen Si wore a dress that showed off her figure, with her hair hanging on her shoulders. There was a faint fragrance of gardenia coming from her body, and Zhao Yuan subconsciously took a few breaths and found it very pleasant.
Chen Si sat in Zhao Yuan's passenger seat and asked, "Where to eat?"
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "You decide the place."
Chen Si thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Jinghu Lake. I know there is a seafood restaurant there that is particularly delicious."
Zhao Yuan nodded, "Okay!"
After eating, Chen Si burped and smiled shyly, "I haven't eaten so much for a long time. Let's take a walk to digest."
Zhao Yuandao, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The wind outside is still a bit hot.
The moonlight was slightly cool, and the stars were overhead.
"Zhao Yuan!" Chen Si suddenly stopped.
Zhao Yuan looked sideways at her, "Huh?"
Chen Si looked at Zhao Yuan calmly, her eyes as clear as water. She hesitated for several seconds as countless thoughts surged deep in her heart.
"You are thirty-one this year, and I am older than you."
Chen Si lowered his head and said in a very low voice, "I didn't expect that one day I would become an older leftover woman. I want to ask you if you have any affection for me. If so, I I want to try a relationship with the goal of getting married. I'm afraid that if I continue to waste it, I won't be able to get married. I especially like children, and I especially want to be someone else's bride and have a happy family."
Zhao Yuan was silent.
He didn't know how to answer Chen Si.
Of course he has a crush on Chen Si, but just because he likes her, he doesn't want to hurt her.
Chen Si looked up at the starry sky, with a smile on his face, "You didn't answer, but I actually know that you like me. I'm not a fool, how could I not see that others like me? I know you are worried. What. You're afraid of getting close to me and hurting me one day. But have you ever thought that by standing there and doing nothing, aren't you hurting me?"
Zhao Yuan waited for Chen Si to continue.
"Ever since I was a child, I have lived under the arrangements of my parents. I have no independent opinion about what to eat, what books to read, and what school to attend. But the only thing I can be sure of is that you are my choice.
Maybe one day we will have a quarrel and our relationship will fade away, but I hope I can start a relationship with you, so that I will never regret it in this life. Because I once liked a man who was particularly outstanding and unique in the world. "
There was a brief silence between the two.
Everyone wants to talk, but they don’t know how to say it.
Zhao Yuan mustered up his courage and said, "Dr. Chen, I must admit that I have a crush on you. Can you really accept my shortcomings?"
"Yes!" Chen Si's eyes turned red and he nodded firmly.
Zhao Yuan gently grabbed Chen Si's wrist, stared at her white forehead, and made up his mind, "Then let's try!"
"Just give it a try!" Chen Si raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Walking on the street, the two figures stretched diagonally by the street lights gradually became close to each other.
The two chatted about a lot of trivial things.
At one o'clock in the morning, Zhao Yuan sent Chen Si downstairs to the unit.
Chen Si just walked in and saw his mother sitting on the sofa staring at him.
"Why did you come home so late?"
Chen Si frowned, "Didn't I report it to you? I went to watch a movie with my colleagues in the evening, and then went to the night market after the movie."
Mother Chen shook her head, "No! I saw you and Zhao Yuan came back together."
Chen Si reacted very quickly, "Isn't Zhao Yuan my colleague? Okay, I'm a little tired, so I'm going to take a shower."
Mother Chen watched Chen Si holding her clothes and walking into the bathroom with mixed feelings in her heart. When she returned to the room, she saw Chen Jin sleeping soundly and deliberately squeezed Chen Jin hard to wake him up.
Chen Jin looked at his wife inexplicably, "What's wrong with you?"
Mother Chen whispered, "Why aren't you worried about your daughter coming back so late?"
Chen Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "She's already so old, so there's nothing to worry about."
Mother Chen frowned, "I saw Zhao Yuan sending her downstairs, and when they parted, the two hugged each other and kissed. I checked the time, and they kissed for at least ten minutes!"
Chen Jin immediately woke up and was surprised, "It seems that the two of them are developing well. Isn't that the effect you want to achieve?"
Chen's mother said distressedly, "I feel depressed and always feel a little uncomfortable."
Chen Jin sighed and comforted, "When children grow up, they must have their own families. Remember my words, don't interfere this time. Let them develop naturally."
Mother Chen said angrily, "I know! You are becoming less and less concerned about your daughter's affairs."
If she is separated, she will feel worried.
Like glue and paint, she also felt worried.
Chen Jin turned around and covered his head with the quilt, not bothering to talk to her.
