The Sweetest Thing In the World - Chapter 43

After returning to work in the outpatient clinic, Min Yue’s life has never been more regular, eight in the morning and six in the evening, commute to and from get off work on time, rest on weekends, stay at home or go out to play, take medicine regularly every day, go to the CDC for a blood test every two weeks, it’s natural It’s a habit.

The medical department approached Min Yue in private and asked her if she needed psychological counseling, and the hospital could help arrange it. Min Yue declined, she didn’t need it, because—

The sugar that Xu Mai feeds can offset all the pain in his heart.

One month after that incident, Min Yue underwent a combined HIV antibody and antigen test, and the result was negative, basically confirming that she was not infected.

The Cardiac Surgery Department held a celebration banquet for Min Yue to wash away bad luck and welcome a new life.

Min Yue brought the kitten back from Xu Mai’s place, and after more than 20 days without seeing it, it has grown so big that it is almost unrecognizable.

Min Yue also gradually took over the work of the ward, but the three-month examination has not yet been done. To be on the safe side, she only writes medical records and prescribes laboratory tests for the time being, and does not go to the operating table, as if she has become a secretary of the heart surgery department. Or support staff.

Every day, his eyes are dazzled by the information, and Min Yue’s eyes glow green with envy when he sees that other people have surgeries. Before doing this, she would never have imagined that there would be a day when she wanted to have surgery.

Seeing her thoughts, Xu Mai signed up for her and asked her to participate in the training of the Da Vinci surgical robot, which is both learning and relaxing. The day she came back was the winter solstice, and it just so happened that the three-month period had also come.

The second day of the return trip was the weekend. Min Yue took a rest for the whole day, took a bath, had a haircut, bought new clothes, waited until early Monday morning, put on light makeup, smiled in the mirror, and went out to meet the sentence of fate.

Just as I got on the elevator, I received a call from Xu Mai: “Are you out? I’ll wait for you in the underground garage.”

Min Yue took the elevator to the basement floor, pushed open the fire door, and saw Xu Mai’s car parked directly in front. Climbing into the car, Min Yue asked, “Why is Master here?”

“I asked for a day off to accompany you.”

Xu Mai’s words were concise and to the point, and Min Yue’s heart warmed up. The master was afraid that he would be afraid by himself, so he came here specially to accompany him.

From Min Yue’s home to the CDC, it was necessary to cross a river. It was the morning rush hour on weekdays, and there was a long queue on the bridge. It took nearly an hour to reach the destination.

Xu Mai parked the car in the open-air parking lot in the yard, did not rush to turn off the engine, and turned to look at Min Yue. “Do you need me to go up with you, or do you want to go there by yourself?”

“It’s too cold outside, Master can just wait in the car.” Min Yue was actually very nervous. The heater in the car was fully turned on, but her hands and feet were still cold.

Xu Mai pressed her hand sideways, clenched it tightly, and then let it go gently. “Go.”

Min Yue got out of the car, wrapped her woolen coat tightly, walked against the wind to the outpatient building, walked to the automatic sensor door, turned and looked back.

Xu Mai was sitting in the car, watching her quietly all the time, calm and powerful. Even half a yard away, Min Yue felt silent support and quiet comfort.

Min Yue responded with a reassuring smile, turned around and walked in.

Registration, blood drawing, and inspection, this process has been done many times, and I am very familiar with it, and I will not go the wrong route with my eyes closed. Min Yue got down from the escalator with her eyes downcast, turned around, and was about to go to the self-service printer to wait for the result.

Looking up, he saw Xu Mai standing at the edge of the crowd.

Min Yue hurried forward. “Master.”

Xu Mai was staring at the LCD screen, which scrolled to display the names of the patients who were waiting to receive the results. She looked at it very carefully, for fear of missing Min Yue’s name, and only turned around half a beat when she heard someone calling her.

“Why isn’t Master waiting in the car?”

“I’m sorry, I should have waited for you outside. You might want to be quiet now.” After a long pause, he thought over the words in his heart several times, and finally confessed: “But I can’t wait in the car.”

Before she finished speaking, she took a step forward and took Min Yue’s hand.

Xu Mai was rarely as restless as today. When Min Yue disappeared through the door, his heartbeat and breathing became chaotic at the same time.

She thought of the hands that gradually lost their warmth, the white cloth that was raised high, and the fire that burned everything into ashes a few years ago.

Her pupils trembled violently, the helplessness and desolation of losing everything and being thrown alone in the world, like a dark cloud covering the sky, climbed to her heart and covered her whole body.

Feeling restless, only staying beside Min Yue, holding her warm hand, and looking at her smiling face can resolve the anxiety.

It took forty minutes for the blood test results to be available, and with something on their minds, the two couldn’t sit still, so they walked around together to pass the time.

The winter in S City is very cold and damp, no matter how thick you wear it, you don’t feel warm. It seems that there is ice in your bones. When you walk, a piece breaks and falls into the blood. The cold blood swims around the body, freezing people into lumps of ice.

Min Yue breathed on her hands while walking, rubbed her hands to warm them up, and then covered her ears. Her ears, which were red from the cold, were scalded by the heat and itched faintly. Min Yue rubbed her ears and chatted: “It’s really cold today, Master.”

“You should wear more.” Xu Mai has already put on a down jacket as soon as winter started. Although it is thin, it is still warmer than a fancy woolen coat.

He was in a hurry to go out and left his gloves at home. Xu Mai took Min Yue’s hand and asked her to put it in his pocket.

The high-grade down is light and warm, and Xu Mai’s pocket is like a warm baby. The temperature of the ironing made Min Yue sigh with satisfaction, and then laughed at herself: “Beautiful people who are frozen are talking about my beauty who does not succumb to the cold wave.” girl.”

Looking back and seeing Xu Mai staring at her, Min Yue felt embarrassed and boasted too much. But then I thought about it again, what I was wearing today was a newly launched coat, I just bought it, costing thousands of dollars; the haircut also cost 300 yuan, and Tony, the senior director, cut it himself; the cosmetics I used in the morning were not cheap, Let’s just talk about lipstick, take three lipsticks with a total price of one thousand to get the right color.

Today, I am an expensive girl.

Thinking of this, Min Yue became confident again, holding her head high, walking with the wind, feeling glamorous and shining like a star. She straightened her pose and asked, “Master, do I look good?”

“You look good.” Xu Mai was very cooperative, “You look good every day.”

Xu Mai’s tone was very sincere, as if he was sincerely praising her for her beauty. Min Yue looked at her for a few seconds, turned away shyly, and looked up at the sky.

A cool snow grain fell into the eyes and melted away in an instant. Min Yue blinked and saw small snowflakes floating all over the sky. “Master, it’s snowing!”

City S has not seen snow for many years, Xu Mai was also very surprised and looked up to the sky.

The snow fell suddenly, like a white dream. The snow particles are shining, reflecting the light of the stars, the dark sky is getting brighter and brighter, reflected in Min Yue’s eyes, like a lamp is lit.

Min Yue looked at Xu Mai with sparkling eyes. “Master, does master know that there is such a meme in the TV series, it is said that if you make a wish on the day of the first snow, the wish will come true.”

“Want to make a wish?” Xu Mai asked.

“Yes, it’s a rare opportunity.” Min Yue’s brows and eyes were curved, and the corners of her lips were smiling. “If the next test result is negative, can Master go to the concert with me?”

Shoulder to shoulder, Min Yue’s slap-sized face was close at hand, her eyelashes were long and curly, and a few snowflakes fell gently. Xu Mai stretched out his hand to stroke her off, and said, “Okay, what do you want to hear, I’ll buy the ticket.”

“Actually… I’ve already bought it.” Min Yue smiled slyly and took out two tickets from her backpack.

Xu Mai took it over and took a look. The performance was at seven o’clock tonight, and she often listened to many of the performances.

“When did you buy it?” Xu Mai asked.

“A long time ago, the last time I heard “Sakura” on Master’s mp3, I wanted to listen to it live with Master. I didn’t expect him to choose to perform on Christmas Eve. Tickets were so hard to get, I almost didn’t get one.”

This is a date that has been planned for a long time, and even if there is an accident later, it can’t reduce Min Yue’s expectation for it. She really wanted to create beautiful memories with Xu Mai on this special day. And that accident made this festival even more meaningful.

On Christmas Eve, wait for peace.

When it was almost time, the two walked back to the outpatient building to get the results. Min Yue scanned the barcode, and the self-service printer beeped and started printing. A few seconds later, the scalding paper slipped out of the printing port, face down, and fell into the palm of my hand.

Xu Mai stood behind her, holding her shoulders, giving her courage.

Flipping her wrist, she turned the paper over. Min Yue read every word carefully, raised her head, and faced Xu Mai. “Master.”

“Well, I’m here.”

The hands on the shoulders trembled slightly, even more nervous than himself.

Min Yue bent her eyes and smiled brightly, brighter than the dawn light. “Let’s go to the concert.”

His pupils trembled and he was stunned for half a second. Xu Mai suddenly tightened his arms and hugged Min Yue into his arms.

Tears welled up in Min Yue’s eyes, joyful and excited. She hugged Xu Mai back: “Master, I’m fine, I’m really fine.”

Just like the students who check the scores of the college entrance examination, they can’t feel at ease knowing that their grades and grades are not enough, and they can’t be at ease until they are sure that they are admitted to the university of their choice and the major they filled in.

This is Min Yue’s mood. The previous test results can only show that “it is basically confirmed that there is no infection”, but what she wants is “100% certain that there is no infection”. After three months of physical and mental suffering, I finally waited for this “100%”, and the stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

People came and went around, many people began to look at him, Xu Mai let go of his arms, and pulled Min Yue out in strides.

“Master, where are we going?”

Xu Mai didn’t answer, and stepped firmly into the snowflakes in the sky, raised his head, shining like a sharp scalpel, which was about to cut through all the fog and mountains and rivers in the road ahead.

Min Yue trotted after him, looking at the white figure in front of him that was integrated with the snow, and suddenly remembered the scene of following Xu Mai for the first time in the ward rounds, running halfway to rescue the patient with aortic dissection.

At that time, Xu Mai was at the front, and she was at the end of the line, separated by mountains and seas.

But later, Xu Mai stretched out his long arms, and the scalpel slashed across, cleaving the mountain and filling the sea. He held her hand tightly and took her by his side.

Min Yue’s eyes were warm. She must have saved the world in her previous life, so she was favored by Xu Mai in this life.

After lunch nearby, I went back to the car. After being relaxed and being blown by the warm wind, Min Yue couldn’t help but eyelids twitch. Enduring the drowsiness to report the safety of everyone who cared about him, he loosened his fingertips, the phone slipped off, and fell asleep in a daze.

Min Yue doesn’t know where the car is going or what it is going to do, but following Xu Mai, it’s good to go anywhere, there is paradise everywhere.

Half asleep and half awake, she felt that the car stopped and went, and Xu Mai seemed to get off the car halfway, but he didn’t seem to. Finally, he woke up, rubbed his eyes, and met Xu Mai’s gentle gaze.

“I have a present for you.”

“Well?”

Xu Mai leaned over and unbuttoned the co-pilot’s seat belt, got out of the car first, walked around to Min Yue’s side, and opened the car door for her. “Come down and have a look.”

Min Yue got out of the car in a daze and looked around. This is an underground parking lot. Not far away is the entrance of the supermarket. There is a Christmas tree at the entrance, and a few trolleys are piled up in the corner. It is impossible to tell which shopping mall it is.

Xu Mai led Min Yue to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and the sweet fruity fragrance overflowed, followed by Christmas carols.

Under the warm yellow star lights, there is a whole cart of red apples neatly arranged.

“Christmas Eve is here.” Xu Mai picked up the biggest and most beautiful one, put it in Min Yue’s palm, and smiled softly. “I wish you good luck and peace every year.”
