I go north, you go south

Chapter 17
"Teacher Tian, ​​I..." Ling Bei, who has always been able to handle things with ease, seems to be poked at a sore spot for the first time, and the scars from that year seem to be close at hand again.

"Ling Bei, you have been treating me for so long, and I have never heard anything truly meaningful from you. You have always maintained this state, unwilling to move forward, just escaping blindly. You really have no What can give you positive desires?

"I remember one time about three years ago, when you came back from university in Jiangcheng for a vacation, your state at that time was completely different from other times. I have never seen you so sunny and cheerful. But a year later, when you graduate When the karma came back, it suddenly returned to the previous state. The positivity of the previous year was like an illusion.

"Ling Bei, I'm very happy to see you in this state today. I feel that you look a bit like when you came back from the summer vacation that year. I don't know if this girl today has anything to do with that year. I think the answer should only be in your heart clear.

"But I hope you understand that if you are not willing to come out, no one can help you. Even if I can find a way to know your knot, it will only be counterproductive to forcefully tear your wound. So, no matter what, I sincerely I hope that when you come to see me next time, you will not just come to chat with me."

Ling Bei didn't answer, and couldn't see any joy or anger.He tried his best to stabilize his mood, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Alas," Tian Yao still sighed, and his tone eased: "Ling Bei, my tone is a bit heavy, you..."

"I understand, Teacher Tian." Ling Bei suddenly raised his head and smiled at Tian Yao, his tone was inexplicably relaxed: "Maybe, the turning point will be in the next second? In fact, what I said to her today is also to myself. You Don't worry, I will try my best to not just waste your precious time chatting with me when I look for you next time."

Tian Yao was a little relieved by this somewhat self-talking answer; it's been a long time since the boy in front of him acted so relieved.

The two bid farewell at the entrance of the hospital. Tian Yao walked towards the parking lot and saw that Ling Bei was going in the opposite direction, so he couldn't help asking, "How did you get here?"

"Take the bus." Ling Bei shook the bus card in his hand.

Looking at the back of Ling Bei walking to the bus station alone, Tian Yao smiled helplessly and shook his head: "This president is really hard to describe."

In Ward 1718, Nan Zishu was trimming Liu Ying's nails.

"Shu Shu, I can cut it myself, so I don't need you." Liu Ying looked at her daughter gently, with a little distress.

"It's okay, don't your hands shake easily? I'll be so distressed if you don't cut them neatly and then break your hands." Nan Zishu winked at Liu Ying playfully, then cut off the last little finger and put away the nail clippers , "Okay, you're done!"

Liu Ying was amused by Nan Zishu's expression, and then she seemed to think of something, and her expression was even a little gossip: "Shu Shu, how is the relationship between Xiao Ling and you?"

"Ah?" Nan Zishu couldn't react for a while: "Ling Bei? No, what do you call him?"

"Xiao Ling." Liu Ying didn't understand why.

"He made you call it that?"

In fact, what Nan Zishu wanted to ask was: Can he make you call him that?
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Liu Ying could hear something wrong in Nan Zishu's words: "Can't we call it that?"

"Yes, yes, he said yes." After a day of stimulation, Nan Zishu was able to accept Ling Bei's "difficult to explain"...

Nan Zishu lowered his head with some guilt: "I really don't know him well, and it was just a coincidence that I met him today. In the future... Maybe there will be less interaction."

Nan Zishu's voice gradually became softer, as if mixed with some inexplicable emotion.
