scalpel, soft around fingers

Chapter 19

"Why? Did you fall in love with someone else?" Lu Yu pulled her to the green belt far from the school gate, and asked with staring eyes.

"Don't think too much, I just feel tired. Let's end it." Xie Moji lowered his eyes, only feeling that the wound in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.If it continues like this, she will be tortured to death by this method of boiling frogs in warm water.

"I've been fighting for it, have you seen it? Why don't you want to believe me?" Lu Yu's voice was raised, and his chest heaved violently due to excitement.Xie Moji didn't expect him to react so strongly, he was frightened for a moment, and stood there in a daze, unable to utter a word.

"Is it because of Dan Wangchen?" Lu Yu grabbed Xie Moji's collar, pulled it hard a few times, and after a while he put his hand down.

The word Shan Wangchen was like a handful of salt sprinkled on Xie Moji's bloody heart.She said angrily: "I don't understand why you want to bring him up. He is him, and we are us. Lu Yu, have you forgotten that the reason why we can't be together is because your mother is not satisfied with my background?" She I don't understand, it's obviously his mother's problem, why he must involve others to feel at ease.

"I admit that my mother is against us being together. But at least give me some time to fight for it." Lu Yu growled.

Xie Moji took a few steps back, looked at him silently for a few seconds, and said in a low voice but firmly: "It's been two months, you have ignored me. Even if you can't win, you can still care about me, chat with me, Talk to me. Lu Yu, tell the truth, am I not your burden?"

Her voice was very cold, and her words were mixed with long-standing sadness, like a basin of ice water was poured on Lu Yu's head and heart.Lu Yu didn't say anything more, and slowly squatted down.Xie Moji wanted to help him, but he pushed him away.

"Why did I ignore you? Don't you understand?" Lu Yu turned his head away, "Tell me, why does Dan Wangchen have your ring on him?"

"Ring?" Xie Moji was shocked.

"Yes, I've seen that ring with the three letters XMJ engraved on it. It's not you, who could it be? Xie Moji, how do you explain it to me?" Lu Yu's face was livid, and his fingers clasped his nose.

"XMJ? Lu Yu, I really don't know what you're talking about. I never wear a ring. Are you making a mistake?" XMJ?Could it really be her?Could it be another woman with the same initials?

"It doesn't matter if you deny it. I've done my best to you. Okay, let's break up." Lu Yu stood up suddenly, grabbed Xie Moji's shoulder and said, "Anyway, I don't want to win you, otherwise, why do you think I would treat you? You are so cold. We have been together for almost a year, and we can count the number of real dates. Hahaha."

Finally broke up.No matter what he said.

Xie Moji staggered back home.Thinking of Lu Yu's last words, my heart seemed to be bleeding.Even if he proposed to break up first and made him lose face, why would he say such stinging words?
In this way, she really has no relationship with him at all.All gone.

It will soon be mid-July, and the news that the vaccine has been successfully developed has been overwhelming these days.People in the office talk about it every day, and everyone's face is beaming with joy at the thought that life will be completely lifted soon.

At such a moment, Xie Moji misses Dr. Shan very much.It was because he was busy day and night in another city that everyone could see the sun.

How are you, Doctor Shan?She was thinking silently in her heart, thinking that he would return to Dongqu soon, a little joy filled her little heart.The smog caused by the breakup for several days was swept away.

In the evening Qin Qi came to the newspaper office to pick up Li Lushuang. When he met Xie Moji, he said, "Dr. Shan will come back tomorrow. The few of us want to welcome him, and you want to come along?"

"Is it okay?" Xie Moji replied with his expression before his voice.There was a smile on her face that couldn't be hidden, and she felt a little warmer when she looked at it.

"Of course. Aren't we all friends?" Li Lushuang patted her on the shoulder, leaned closer to her ear and said, "That Yin Xiangwei will definitely participate tomorrow, you have to think about what clothes to wear, and you must not lose your momentum."

Because of this invitation, Xie Moji was basically in a fugue state for the next day.When interviewing a wealthy businessman with Gao Yaqin, they made frequent slips of the tongue.Seeing her make a fool of herself, Gao Yaqin didn't try to save the situation, she lowered her head and took notes.Xie Moji was really helpless, so he simply admitted his mistake.Fortunately, the rich businessman didn't make things difficult for her, he just smiled kindly.

It was close to five o'clock when the interview was done, and Li Lushuang was already waiting for her in the office.Xie Moji packed up his things in a hurry, and skipped to the door with Li Lushuang without daring to stop.

She was afraid that Qin Qi would be waiting, so she walked quickly.In a hurry, one accidentally stepped on the hem of the skirt that was dragging the floor, and sat down on the ground with a plop.

Li Lushuang walked in front of her. When she heard the sound and turned her head, she saw Xie Moji who was sitting on the ground with a distressed face: "Are you okay?"

She pulled Xie Moji up and tried to make her walk, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her taking a few steps with ease.But when the eyes touched a large black stain on the hem of her white skirt, the stone that had been removed with great difficulty pressed back again. "What about your dress?"

"Lu Shuang, you and Qin Qi go first, I'll go home and change clothes." Xie Moji also noticed the state of his skirt, feeling a little annoyed.Haste makes waste. He obviously wanted to hurry up, but he caused such trouble.

She took a taxi back home and changed into a simple change from a pile of clothes. Without caring about examining her image in the mirror, she rushed out of the house again.When he walked to the gate of the community, he bumped into an oncoming person.

"Xie Moji?" The man stopped and looked at her kindly.When Xie Moji saw his familiar face, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to be from her hometown, but he couldn't name him for a while.

"Thanks to your help, your aunt was able to survive the danger. Now she is talking and laughing again, but she always misses you." The man pulled Xie Moji and said.

Xie Moji was confused when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with Auntie?"

The man said: "A year and a half ago your aunt had a car accident and needed a lot of medical expenses. I mentioned it to you when I met you, and you have been sending money there since then. When I went home last time, your uncle was still there." I praise you for your filial piety."

"You are?" Xie Moji smiled awkwardly, but still couldn't remember who he was.

"I'm your neighbor, Ah Chun, and I'm also in Dongqu now. I live in the same community as you." Ah Chun looked at Xie Moji strangely.

When he said this, Xie Moji immediately had an impression, and the snotty Achun who used to play with her when she was a child appeared in her mind, and it turned out to be him. "Ah Chun, I was infected with an unknown virus before, so I can't remember what happened over the past year..." She explained, and then carefully asked about my aunt's health and money transfer.

When Ah Chun said that the sum of money she remitted to her hometown was tens of thousands, Xie Moji was very surprised.She has only worked for a few years, and she knows how much she can earn. In addition to paying the rent and maintaining daily life, there is not much money that can be saved every month.Where did these tens of thousands of dollars come from out of thin air?
After saying goodbye to Ah Chun, Xie Moji took a taxi to the agreed place.In the car, she took out her mobile phone and called her uncle.As soon as the cousin heard her voice, he said kindly: "Moji, thank you, thank you. Thanks to you, your aunt is today."

Xie Moji told his cousin about his illness, and then logically asked some details about the remittance, but found nothing.

Before hanging up the phone, my cousin told Moji repeatedly: "Don't send money next month, we can afford it." One sentence caught Xie Moji's attention, and she hurriedly asked, "Uncle, I also sent you money this month." ?"

"Sent, sent." Uncle Biao said happily, his attitude towards Mo Ji was extremely good.

"Uncle, take a look at the electronic voucher for the remittance. Which bank did I go to and where did I send it to you?" Xie Moji asked again.

"What's the matter?" The uncle noticed that Xie Moji asked a little strangely at this time, thinking that she was going to repent, and said with a teary face, "But we have already used this month's money. There is no way..."

"No, uncle, that's not what I mean. I haven't sent any money in the past few months, but you have received money, so I want to find out who has been sending money for me."

"There is such a thing? Then wait, I will look for it." The cousin put down the phone, and after a rustling sound, he picked up the phone again: "Moji, I asked your Brother Long to help me look at it." Yes, it said it was sent from City B. Strange, it was obviously sent from Dongqu before..."

City B?
For a moment, Xie Moji thought of Dr. Shan.But soon she overturned her guess.Based on my relationship with Dr. Shan, I'm afraid it's not enough for him to help her send money to her hometown.Moreover, it is still sent every month without interruption.Who would be able to do it with such care?She got out of the car full of doubts.

When I walked through the corridor of the hotel and walked to the door of the box, I felt nervous in my heart.There were bursts of laughter coming from inside, which should also include the person she missed from time to time.After more than a month of no contact, what should she say the first time she saw him?

She gently pushed open the door of the box, and glanced across the table.I watched it several times, but I didn't see that figure. I was secretly wondering when someone patted my back, and then a familiar voice said, "Are you here?"

"Doctor Shan." She blurted out without thinking.Turning around, he saw that handsome face.It's just that the cheeks are a little sunken, and there is a thin layer of beard around the lips.

"Go in, I'll wait for you." Doctor Shan nodded, and walked into the box with her sideways.

There were only two vacant seats at the dinner table, still next to each other.After Doctor Shan sat down, Xie Moji could only bite the bullet and sit beside him.When she received Li Lushuang's encouraging eyes, she bowed her head guiltyly, and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food in front of her.

Everyone was very curious about Dr. Shan's entry into the expert group. You asked me one by one, and Dr. Shan answered patiently, clinking glasses with one of them occasionally.

"Wangchen, you've lost a few kilos, isn't it very hard over there?" Yin Xiangwei sat on the other side of Shan Wangchen, kept picking up vegetables for him, and asked distressedly while doing so.

"Xiangwei, I'll do it myself." Shan Wangchen lightly rejected her overly intimate behavior, touched his face and said, "I'm really thin, seeing more and more people infected with the virus, everyone dare not have the slightest Slack, working with life, and the most sleep is only six hours a day."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Moji's hand holding the chopsticks shook, and a piece of fish that he had finally aimed at fell back onto the plate.Doctor Shan glanced at her, picked up the meat she had just dropped with chopsticks, and put it into her bowl calmly.Everyone naturally saw his move, but tacitly pretended not to see it.

Xie Moji was even more afraid to raise his head now, and kept acting like "working hard".But his ears were working nervously, listening to the story that Dr. Shan told in City B without missing a single word.

When we were about to finish eating, Dr. Zuo suggested that everyone go to Lao Shan's house to sit down, sober up and chat.His suggestion was approved by everyone.Li Lushuang asked Xie Moji with his eyes if he was going or not, and Xie Moji made an OK gesture.She had a lot of questions about Dr. Shan in her mind, and it was difficult for her to talk too much.I thought that when I arrived at his house in a while, I might have a chance to ask him.

Everyone drank and did not dare to drive.I left the car at the hotel and took two taxis to Dr. Shan's house.Xie Moji originally wanted to ride with Li Lushuang and Qin Qi, but for some reason he was negligent, and finally sat with Dr. Shan. Apart from them, there were Dr. Zuo in front and Yin Xiangwei beside Dr. Shan.

"Xie Moji, will the newspaper office send you to interview Lao Dan again in a few days?" Zuo Xiaojian joked.

Xie Moji was overwhelmed by Dr. Shan's strong aura, and didn't recognize Dr. Zuo's stuff at all. He said seriously: "Gao Yaqin is in charge of this piece now. I'm following the financial section." When she spoke, Dr. Shan kept looking at Outside the window, his expression was indifferent.Xie Moji thought he wasn't listening, but when she stopped, he suddenly asked, "Why?"

"Ah?" She didn't react, and it took a long time to understand that he was asking her why she changed the interview task. "This is what Editor-in-Chief Zhao meant. We will divide the work as he arranges it," she said.

This time, Doctor Shan didn't speak again, his eyes continued to watch the bizarre world outside, and he rarely made eye contact with Xie Moji.

After arriving home, several men quickly gathered together to play cards at a table.Women cut fruit and steamed morsels in the kitchen.Xie Moji was appointed as the porter, and he transported the plates of food to the card table time and time again.She saw that only the corner of the table on Doctor Shan's side was still vacant, so she put the fruit there.

As soon as she put it down, Dr. Zuo yelled: "Xie Moji, do you need to be so obvious? Do we dare to eat the fruit on the plate?" It was completely nonsense, but Xie Moji's face was flushed when he said it.Later, when Li Lushuang asked her to move pastries, she refused to do so anyway.

After finishing the work in the kitchen, several women sat around and watched the men play cards.Yin Xiangwei quarreled and wanted to fight together. Her original intention was that eight people would form four groups to play together, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Dr. Shan stood up: "You fight for me, I will rest for a while."

Yin Xiangwei was a little reluctant, but she said her own words first, and she was too embarrassed to refuse.I can only bite the bullet and fight with a few men.

Xie Moji saw Dr. Shan sitting on the sofa alone, twisting the bridge of his nose with his hands, looking tired.I couldn't help but walked over and asked with concern: "Are you tired?"

"It's okay. I've used my brain too much recently, and I have headaches from time to time." Dr. Shan said indifferently.He patted the seat next to him and motioned her to sit down.

After getting his invitation, Xie Moji obediently sat beside him.Thinking of his mission on this trip, he asked, "Doctor Shan, are you remitting my aunt's money for me?"

"Do you recall this memory?" Dr. Shan plunged into the cushion behind him and looked sideways at her.The voice is soft and soft...
