Entrust My Life To You - Chapter 43
Translated by: RandomAlex
On the weekend, San San took the time to inspect our workplace as usual and gave a pertinent evaluation: “The daylighting is good.”
One cup of fruit tea for two, there was a lot of chatter. The tendon of the short circuit in Xiao Geng’s brain finally got through, and Xiao Jun finally managed to explain it clearly.
Before the tea was finished, San San received a call to work overtime.
“This labor force is too small, so you might as well change jobs and go to Xiao Zhongyi’s company. ” That Xiao Someone is definitely undesirable.
“Absolutely not!” San San raised her head proudly and said, “distance makes things more desirable~”
When we entered the subway, it was the peak of passenger flow. As soon as the underground passage turned, a man and a woman were quarreling quite fiercely. Since the time when the hospital broke up, I feel a little psychological shadow about fingernails flying when women are angry. In particular, the topic of two people arguing is—full of surprises. San San couldn’t get used to this. Tugging, she grabbed my arm and pulled it aside. I bumped into a man who bowed his head and spilled a cup of freshly made coffee on my foot.
I wanted to cry out without tears— why do I always get hurt?
By the time the apartment door was opened, the doctor had already returned from his shift. He watched me jump in and said, “what’s going on?”
“I accidentally knocked over someone’s coffee.”
The Doctor shook his head, washed his hands, and helped me apply for the medicine. He got up and went to the kitchen to wash the fruit. I went onto the balcony and looked out, bored. There were huge posters at the cinema, two blocks away. We only went to that place once and watched ’33 Days of Break Up’ on November 11 last year. Thinking of Wang Xiaojie’s last sentence, ‘I’m with you’, and San San just now: ‘I’m always afraid of being separated from him in the future’, I turned to the Doctor who was cutting the fruit and asked, “For two people being together — what’s the worst thing you can bear?”
(TNote: Love Is Not Blind (Chinese: 失恋33天; literally: ’33 Days of Breakup’) = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Is_Not_Blind )
The doctor didn’t expect me to suddenly ask such a question: “The worst thing? The two of us– the worst– divorced?” He shook his head. “I never thought about it. “
I looked at the apple he handed me with a serious expression: “Well, even if you have a problem, if you don’t leave, I will stay with you. We can think of all kinds of solutions, and we can also go to the hospital, where science and technology are so advanced.”
I still don’t know how I came up with these silly words without thinking at that time.
The Doctor was obviously surprised by me and looked at me, he didn’t know whether to cry or laugh: “Ah—why do you suddenly want to go there?”
“Today, San San and I saw a couple quarreling in the underpass, and the couple finally said, ‘if you can’t have a baby, you’re not a man!’ We were all stunned at that time. On the way back, San San said that although this kind of problem cannot be said explicitly, it really has a great impact, and many people have broken up because of this problem. At that time, I thought that I wouldn’t break up because of that. Even if I found a woman, how many lesbians weren’t doing well too…”
The more I spoke, the more I whispered because I realized that it was impolite to discuss that problem with a man.
The Doctor chewed slowly and finished eating the fruit. he turned silent for a long time, looked at me, and said slowly, “Lin Zhixiao, marry me.”
I looked into his dark brown eyes. How did you dance on this topic?
“In the hospital, a lot of married couples broke up because of an illness. Do you know why your father is especially envious? Because he never thought that your mother would abandon him. I envy the satisfaction that is taken for granted, that someone will always be by his side.” The Doctor put his hand on my cheek. “Work, children, health, everything. I can’t guarantee that our lives will be successful in the future. But I can assure you that, for better or worse, I will be there for you. You can take it for granted, just like Teacher Lin.”
Who says we science students don’t understand romance? Our sincere romance is much more lethal than two small love poems, and my eyes are instantly sour and speechless.
The Doctor stroked my face: “Are you stunned?”
“Well, a little. ” When this happened to me for the first time, it’s understandable that I reacted a bit slow.
The Doctor looked at me: “That– you– answer me.”
I sniffed and said: “Okay, but my mother has the household registration book. “
The Doctor took me in his arms and laughed, the kind of laugh that came out of his chest and throat, low and happy.
I had been a little nervous that night. I looked into the Doctor’s eyes without doing anything. I couldn’t remember what I answered when he asked me anything.
“I’ll call our parents on both sides tomorrow. “
“Hmm.”
“How about National Day holiday, let the two sides meet and discuss marriage right away?”
“Hmm.”
“To Y City or X City?”
“Hmm.”
The Doctor looked at me suspiciously, then he was a little nervous: “You—don’t you want to?”
I quickly emerged from drowning in the fox’s beautiful eyes and straightened my back: “I said yes just now.
The Doctor smiled and threw me down for the umpteenth time. I found that this guy always uses the advantage of his height and long legs to cover my entire territory as soon as he arrived on the sofa.
I was smothered under his shaking chest and patted him on the back: “Are you giggling?”
“Hmm. “
“Not worried?”
“Hmm.”
“Then you plan everything.
“Hmm.”
“Have you made all the plans?”
“Hmm.”
“Oh, what’s my next assignment?”
“Hmm. “
“…”
So, in fact, I was not the only one who was dazed that night …
When San San heard this, she was completely shocked: “What kind of proposal is this?! There are no rings!”
“Ahem, those things. Not important, not important …”
My love with the Doctor may never be strong, but it has our own stubbornness, purity, and depth.
On the weekend, I went to see Grandpa with the Doctor. After dinner, I was washing dishes, and the Doctor stood behind me.
“Xiao Xiao —“
“Yeah?
“I—I have to go abroad.
“Uh-huh?!” I suddenly turned my head.
Last year, my cousin was also sent abroad to support the western project for three months, very short, very short. I try to calm down.
“How long would you be there?”
“More than six months.
“Where–to?”
“Germany.
Germany … I turned around and continued to do the dishes.
The Doctor’s hand held my hand through the water: “I received the notice yesterday. Our hospital sent two people in this batch.
“Oh. All right. “I don’t know what my mood is now, I just feel a little hazy in my head.
At night, I lay in bed in a daze. Although I didn’t spend a lot of time with the Doctor, we’ve never been apart. I can see him when I want to see him. Now we’re going to be separated, across one third of the earth, one-third of the earth …
“Xiao Xiao. “A bracelet came into my sights.
I turned and threw myself into the Doctor’s arms. I sighed softly: “Go and take care of yourself.
The Doctor buried his face in my hair: “What will you do?”
I touched his ring: “I’ll wait for you to come back. “
Special Dialog
Doctor: Alas, your mind is jumping around…
(Obviously, you jump around more than me)
Doctor: You can’t discuss it with me. Can I not discuss marriage with you?
