Entrust My Life To You - Chapter 20

During the winter season, the school’s gate dominated by the color of white. The Doctor stepped on the snow and walked towards me; he put his chin on top of my head and sighed softly.

He was on duty last night. After doing his morning rounds, he came to see me at school. After this, he will go back home in the opposite direction.

I held his slightly tilted body, feeling a little distressed: “You don’t need to always come back and forth like this.”

“Are you going to have a winter vacation?”

“Yes, my ticket is for the 6th at noon. My mother told me to go back for New year’s Eve Dinner.”

“I’m on duty on the 5th……”

I sighed with sadness, and It was difficult to meet him these days. But then, I suddenly thought about something. We still could have a night date.

On the evening of the 5th, I carried takeouts and went to the Hospital. As soon as I arrived at the parking lot, I met Xiao Yu, which I hadn’t seen for a long time.

She was just about to leave the Hospital because her work hours were over. When she saw me, she looked surprised and said, “Sister, what are you doing here? Teacher Lin’s chemotherapy has finished, right?”

“I ー” I suddenly realized it was quite complicated to explain this matter, so I simply answered, “come here to deliver the food.”

“For whom? ^_^.”

“……”

When the Doctor came down, Xiao Yu found out that I was here to deliver the food for my boyfriend. “How could you suddenly have a boyfriend?” When she saw the Doctor came over, she looked at him then back at me: “Oh, you two!”

The Doctor naturally took the plastic bag from my hand and looked at her, “Haven’t you gone back to the dorm yet?”

Xiao Yu quickly took back two steps, “Ha, Haha, Goodbye, Teacher Gu!” She ran two steps before turning back her head: “Teacher-wife, Goodbye, Teacher-wife!”

How I wish there weren’t so many people around.

For the next three hours, we ate together, chatted, dazed, and stared at each other. Then the Doctor said, “The bed in the duty room is a single bed. This night, either you stand or I stand all night, or ー hmm?”

“Ah! I’m going back to school! ” I bounced out of my chair.

The Doctor followed behind me, smiled, and said nothing.

On the 6th, by the time the Doctor got off work, I had already got into the bus.

“Have a safe trip.”

“Oh.”

“Don’t forget to give me a call once you arrive.”

“Oh.”

“During the Lunar New Year, pay attention to the food you eat, and don’t forget to have a good rest.”

“Oh.”

“……Do you want to have a phone call with me every day?”

“……” Why did he need to ask such a question? I murmured, “It’s okay to call me ー several times.”

On the 30th, New Year’s Eve Dinner, I sat together with my mom, my cousin, and his wife.

The table was full of food and drink. My cousin looked at me and said, “Little Girl, your cousin-in-law has been pregnant for five months old.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve prepared a red envelope for a long time.”

My cousin sighed. “Your cousin-in-law was already in love with me when she was your age.”

I pushed aside his claws: “Tsk, such a blessed.”

Cousin-in-law smiled: “What kind of person our Xiao Xiao is looking for?”

“A Doctor!” I said it immediately.

“That’s good!” My cousin said.

“I don’t agree.” My mom said.

I looked at my mother’s and weakly interrupted, “Doctor ー is stable, steady, and intellectual.”

Mother: “Then, you can simply find a civil servant.”

My heart sunk in a moment.

My cousin: “It’s good to find a Doctor! I can introduce you to a truck of bachelor in our Hospital!”

Mother: “No need, the women who tried to seduce them is also a truckload.”

My cousin: “You can’t say that. Any fickle women can cause infatuation in every industry. Xiao Xiao, If you find a man from our Hospital, and he dares to hurt you, I will cut him like cutting vegetables!”

Mother: “Even if you cut him in pieces, the feeling that already given won’t be recollected.”

Please don’t regard me as a person who had been betrayed and abandoned. I looked at these two people, completely stunned: “I finished eating, you two can discuss slowly.”

In the living room, my cousin-in-law slowly came over and sat next to me: “What happened? Did you date a Doctor?”

“Women are too smart; men can be under a lot of pressure.” I touched my cousin-in-law’s belly. “Sister, do you feel any regret of marrying a doctor?”

Cousin-in-law smiled: “Regret, marrying a doctor is not as beautiful as every people imagined. But if I could rewind everything, I will still choose your cousin.”

She approached me and whispered. “Don’t be confused about having to fight for him or not, because your heart knows the best!

I watched the Spring Festival Gala while wandering.

I talked to the Doctor on the phone before I went to bed, he quickly smelled out something wrong had happened. “What’s the matter with you?”

“Doctor, do you know that XXX and XXX, who in the ward. Also that XX, who often comes to your office, have an interest in you?

“……” I guess the Doctor didn’t expect me to suddenly start this topic, “Well, that’s why I was never alone with them.”

“So, you know about everything.”

“Do you think everyone is as slow as you are?”

“Doctor… the temptation around you is too much.”

There was silence for quite a long time until I heard that cold voice, “Lin Zhixiao, I hope you won’t use this as a reason to get rid of me from your life.”

I looked out at the sky through the window. “Gu Wei, I’m not usually this slow. I’m all messed up when I meet you.”

“Grandma taught me when I was a kid to speak clearly about everything, wholeheartedly in doing everything, and leave room to maneuver for myself. But ー I exposed my true self to you unreservedly.”

I suddenly found out that this topic was too difficult to carry on, “From now on, no matter whether we are in a good or bad situation, no matter how far we can go, you have to tell me, even if ー even if it is something bad.”

Love is giving each other the greatest kindness. Since I was reluctant to be separated from you, I will entrust all my trust to you.

There was a long silence on the phone.

“Lin Zhixiao, I will give you one year. You can feel it with your heart, see whatever you want to see until you understand about everything.”

Later, I learned what the Doctor said in front of all of his family three hours ago, “Grandpa, Grandma, I have a girlfriend. She’s a very nice girl. After this New Year, I’ll take her to meet you.”

Soon after that, my heart was overflowing, and I felt like being poured by cold water.

When I returned to school after the winter vacation, I had just packed my luggage, and I received a call from the Doctor: “I’m downstairs.”

I ran down without wearing my coat, but when I was in front of him, suddenly I didn’t know where to put my hands.

The Doctor watched me not doing anything, slowly spread his hand, held me in his arms, and sighed softly.

I was buried in his embrace and almost burst into tears by his tender gesture. Subconsciously, I put my hand in his pocket.

“Lin Zhixiao, why did you put your hands there?

“I feel cold……”

“.…Have you had dinner yet? “

“Nope.”

“Go home with me.”

“Ah?”

Just this way, I went to Doctor’s apartments for the very first time.

On the way, I looked at the person who was driving beside me.

“Since when you have a car?”

“When did I say that I don’t have a car?”

“I have never seen it before.”

When he hit the brake on the red light, the Doctor turned his face and said, “There are still a lot of things. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.”

I sniffed out the smell of danger and said, “Just concentrate while driving.…”

When I finally arrived at that place, I was being led into the elevator, went upstairs, entered a door, and then being left at the front door.

Gu Wei, this person never shows any expression even when he was angry. His face was always full of mystery, like an unpredictable climate.
But, this kind of silent treatment was the most tormenting ー for me.

I forced myself to speak out: “Chairman Mao told us not to be defeated by the sugar-coated shells capitalism. Your home is in X City, why you still rent a house!”

“My house is too far.”

“But you have a car.”

“Traffic jam.”

“You can take the subway.”

Gu Wei turned around, revealing his white teeth: “There is no subway station nearby.”

This person, could he feel annoyed just for a bit?

I decided to lower my pride, approached him, and held his arm: “Doctor, I miss you so much!” I spoke too fast that I choked on my saliva.

The Doctor handed over a glass of water and naturally changed the subject: “Don’t go back tonight.”

I stared at him as if I had been struck by lightning. Looking at him calmly peeling fruit, suddenly realized: Gu Wei is a good man, I am too sinister.

Special Dialog:
Doctor: I don’t mind for you to being a little bit sinister.
