MTL - Wildfire-Chapter 29

Tao Xiaodong said "He is coming", which excited everyone in the well-dressed table. Tang Suoyan hardly drinks and rarely touches. Occasionally, if he couldn't escape, he just pursed his lips one by one. He didn't like to let alcohol affect his judgment.

Chen Lin let out a high-pitched "Ouch", and the voice at the end was high-pitched.

"Don't make such weird noises," Tang Suoyan raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "You owe me nothing."

"Didn't I owe it when I was in school? It's not a day or two." Chen Lin didn't care either. Among the people at the table, he and Tang Suoyan had the best relationship.

Tao Xiaodong blocked a glass for him, but Tang Suoyan didn't stop him, just watched him drink with a smile. The people at the table booed a lot, and asked Tang Suoyan why he made people stop drinking.

Tang Suoyan just laughed but didn't speak, Tao Xiaodong said "should" in response to the momentum of other people's booing.

This "should", these three words no matter how much you smack or ponder, they all carry a different flavor. Chen Lin glanced back and forth between the two of them twice, and smiled without saying a word.

"Come to the birthday star for a drink, you have to drink it." Chen Lin poured the wine into Tang Suoyan's cup after all. Just as Tao Xiaodong was about to speak, Chen Lin put his hand on the back of his chair and said "shh", "I'll serve you It’s because the two of you didn’t tell the truth, so you’re not wronged. This cup is not good, this cup belongs to him, and he drinks it when he is one year older.”

Tang Suoyan leaned back in the chair and listened. Tao Xiaodong glanced at him, then smiled and said, "I'll do it."

"I said I won't replace it." Chen Lin said "tsk", "If you want to replace it again, then we have to drink this wine differently today. How are you going to replace it? Xiaodong, it seems that I am going to bunk with him For the sake of this, I advise you to say goodbye." He pointed to the people at the table, "Everyone in your eyes, don't look at them like dogs, they are all drinkable, you weigh them."

Tao Xiaodong scanned around without thinking, and nodded with a smile: "I'll do it."

"Tsk, why are you so stubborn?" Chen Lin said so, and happily filled him up with the wine, "It means that the person next to you is going to protect you today. Is that what you mean?"

"Ah." Tao Xiaodong stood up, took off his coat, and put it on the back of the chair, "Come on."

The clothes didn't fit properly and slid to the floor. Tang Suoyan saw it, leaned over and reached out to pick it up, and put it back on.

"It's really nice to have a guard." Chen Lin bumped Tang Suoyan's chair with his knee, "How can you sit so firmly? Are you not panicking with shame, doctor?"

"Not ashamed." Tang Suoyan smiled calmly.

Tao Xiaodong stood up, and took advantage of the opportunity to raise a glass of wine. It was the first time he met these people, so it stands to reason that he should also raise a glass.

I was driving and eating here again just now, the shirt is not so neat anymore, and there is a loose pleat above the belt. The black shirt is very slim, with a thin waist and long legs. Standing here is so energetic and eye-catching.

"I saw you for the first time today. You are all ophthalmologists. My younger brother is blind, so I have visited too many ophthalmology departments in hospitals these years. The doctors are benevolent. Every one I met these years is a good doctor. Help me There are a lot of them. So when I see doctors, I come to get close to them, especially the ophthalmology department. It’s great to have you here. It’s the first time we meet, Xiaodong toasts, and we will come and go often in the future.”

All the students present here are Tang Suoyan's college classmates, and indeed they are all ophthalmologists. Tao Xiaodong speaks a few words in a friendly way, and they are easy to listen to.

Everyone drank his glass of wine, and after drinking, asked his brother how he became blind.

Tang Suoyan answered, and everyone nodded in understanding. Asked when it started, Tao Xiaodong said four years old.

"It's too small, it's a pity."

"My father is also blind, genetic." Tao Xiaodong said.

When Chen Lin heard this and looked up at him, someone comforted him: "It's okay, there will be clinical treatment sooner or later, it's a matter of time."

Another person said "Hey" and laughed: "Isn't that the direction of Suoyan? He is an expert, catch him and wait for him to treat him."

Sitting there, Tao Xiaodong glanced at the expert, nodded and said, "I'm holding it."

Tao Huainan was about to take a nap after dinner at home when he sneezed for no reason.

Chi Cheng sat at the table reading a book, touched the remote control to turn on the air conditioner, Tao Huainan turned over and said, "Don't blow my face."

Chi Cheng silently set the direction of the wind upwards and let the wind blow upwards, Tao Huainan hummed "comfortable" in satisfaction.

In the bureau where the ophthalmologists got together, they could chat for half an hour about the retinal discoloration just now. The waiter pushed the door in and was stunned for a moment, as if he had stepped into the scene of some academic conference.

Tao Xiaodong also seemed a little redundant sitting here, he couldn't get in the conversation, and he couldn't understand. Although Tao Huainan has this disease, he is considered a half-expert with the treatment these years, but what they said is too professional, most of the chats are about the current research status and achievements abroad, and some words are missing. heard.

Tao Xiaodong couldn't understand, so he ate. Since everyone was chatting and had no time to drink, he quickly ate something to fill his stomach. Tang Suoyan slowly turned the table while talking, and turned over a stack of small pastries.

"Eat two." While others were talking, Tang Suoyan moved his chin to the left side and whispered something.

Tao Xiaodong heard it, took two and ate them.

Tang Suoyan continued to chat with others, Tao Xiaodong was almost finished eating, and these people also finished their chat, thinking about drinking again. Tao Xiaodong's stomach is not empty anymore, he has a bottom.

It took a long time to eat, even drinking and chatting. It is true that this group has not seen each other for a long time, and there is too much to talk about. Tang Suoyan asked Tao Xiaodong to block the cup for him at the very beginning, but he didn't use him later. Chen Lin and the others were just messing around, they all knew that Tang Suoyan didn't drink, and they didn't even want to take him with them after the initial mess.

Tao Xiaodong drank a lot. He has practiced over the years, and his alcohol capacity is very good. After eating and parting, Tao Xiaodong was clear inside, and Chen Lin drank a little too much, and talked a lot when he drank too much, and said a lot of irrelevant words.

Called "Xiaodong" endlessly.

"Don't do anything, go home quickly." Tang Suoyan watched him get into the car, and the driver drove away skillfully.

Tao Xiaodong drove when he came, and Tang Suoyan drove when he went back.

"Sleep for a while." Tang Suoyan told him.

"No need," Tao Xiaodong smiled, "I didn't drink too much."

He really didn't drink too much, it was clear, his head was not dizzy, and his speech was not confused.

Now there was no one left, only the two of them, Tao Xiaodong frowned and asked, "Are you celebrating your birthday?"

Tang Suo said "hmm".

"Then why didn't you tell me in advance?" Tao Xiaodong leaned there and looked at him, "I'll find out when I get there."

"Same," Tang Suoyan said, "I didn't take it seriously."

"It has to be taken seriously." Tao Xiaodong closed his eyes, "You have to tell me about your birthday."

He said that he didn't drink too much, but he still drank too much. If he was fully awake, he wouldn't say it, and if he said it, he wouldn't be in the current tone.

Tang Suoyan found it interesting: "I will tell you next time."

"I don't need you next time." Tao Xiaodong closed his eyes and said, "I will remember."

After finishing speaking, he took out his mobile phone, flipped through it on his back, he didn't know who he was talking to, and then said: "Then I won't go back, you have to have dinner with me tonight."

Tang Suo said "no need".

Tao Xiaodong is still fiddling with the phone: "Use it."

Tang Suoyan also let him go, saying yes.

Originally, Tang Suoyan planned to send him back, but Tao Xiaodong didn't want to go back now, so Tang Suoyan asked him, "Would you like to sit with me for a while?"

"Okay." Tao Xiaodong sent a WeChat message, typing quickly with his fingers.

When he got to the place and got out of the car, Tao Xiaodong had already followed into the elevator, only to realize that he was going to Tang Suoyan's house. Drinking still delays things, and I have been a little confused.

When Tang Suoyan entered the password, Tao Xiaodong turned his face to look elsewhere, and when the door opened, he was greeted by a very fresh and light fragrance, with a faint smell of herbs in it.

The smell was so pleasant that Tao Xiaodong finally understood what Tao Huainan always said about the fragrance of Dr. Tang's body.

Tang Suoyan's house is quite clean, and the balcony on the living room side has floor-to-ceiling windows, so the room is very bright. Tao Xiaodong sat on the sofa, and Tang Suoyan poured him a glass of water.

Tao Xiaodong pretended to be full of wine, and when he saw the water, he raised his head first and asked, "Can I...use the bathroom first?"

Tang Suoyan pointed behind him: "Over there."

This smell is everywhere in his house, even in the bathroom. Tang Suoyan said before that his mother made the incense, and Tao Xiaodong liked the smell very much. While using the bathroom, I remembered the morning when Tang Suoyan called to take a shower and asked if he would come up to listen.

A restroom is a mess in my head.

Tang Suoyan took two pillows from the sofa and put them on the other side of the recliner. Tao Xiaodong came out of the bathroom and Tang Suoyan said to him, "Go and lie down for a while."

Tao Xiaodong said, "I'll just sit down for a while, I haven't changed my clothes."

"It's okay, it should have been changed." Tang Suoyan turned his head to that side, "Let's rest."

Tao Xiaodong took off his coat, put it on the armrest beside him, and lay down halfway. It was still easy to get sleepy after drinking, Tang Suoyan had intended to let him rest, and didn't talk to him much, Tao Xiaodong seemed to be asleep in a daze.

Tang Suoyan picked up a book and read it beside him. When the phone rang, he quickly picked it up. It was from home.

Tang Suoyan went to the balcony to pick him up, and said with a smile, "It's my birthday today, mom has worked hard."

A son's birthday, a mother's Good Friday. Tang Suoyan chatted softly with his parents for a long time, and asked him if he would go back at night. Tang Suoyan said that he had an appointment with a friend at night and would return tomorrow.

"Then don't make trouble too late," said Tom from the other side.

"Don't make trouble." Tang Suoyan told her.

Tao Xiaodong was fast asleep, but Tang Suoyan didn't wake up when he answered the phone, and his voice was low anyway.

After talking on the phone for a long time, Tang Suoyan closed the floor-to-ceiling curtain after hanging up the phone to block the light and wind. No matter how well the glass is sealed, it is still a bit drafty if you are close. After drinking and falling asleep, it is easy to catch cold when blowing the wind.

Before Tang Suoyan could let go of his hand, there was a soft knock on the door.

He stopped for a moment, subconsciously looking back. The knock on the door was still ringing, Tang Suoyan walked over and opened the door.

At the door was Tangning, holding a cake and a paper bag.

He smiled lightly and said, "Happy birthday brother Yan."

Tang Suoyan looked at him, Tangning blinked and said, "I thought you weren't home, but you are."

He was wearing a white coat, and Tang Suoyan also had a black one. They both used to buy doubles when they bought things, saving worry and time.

Tang Suoyan stood at the door, and Tangning took a step forward, intending to come in. Tang Suoyan remained silent, while Tangning raised her brows slightly and called "Brother Yan" again.

Tangning froze when she glanced at the two pairs of shoes at the door.

"You..." Tangning blinked, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, "...don't let me in?"

Tang Suoyan didn't speak, and took a step aside.

"...Who?" Tangning asked knowingly, of course he knew who it was.

There is no need to answer this question, Tang Suoyan didn't open his mouth and didn't block the door. The two looked at each other. Tangning handed the cake over, blinking her eyes a couple of times quickly, and said in an unsteady voice, "Happy birthday."

Tang Suoyan took it and said "Thank you".

"No thanks..." Tangning touched the doorknob and said in a low voice, "Then I'm going first?"

Before Tang Suo could say anything, he repeated himself: "I'm going first."

After speaking, he directly closed the door.

The sound of him closing the door was not loud, and Tao Xiaodong didn't wake up.

Tang Suoyan sat down on the other side of the sofa, silently pinching the center of his brows.

When the door lock sounded again, Tang Suoyan looked up.

This time Tangning opened the door by himself. The password and fingerprints were not changed, so it was easy for him to get in. Tangning walked in and closed the door behind her back.

There are two people on the sofa, which couldn't be more obvious.

He looked at Tang Suoyan and asked, "Why don't you change the password?"

Pointing to Tao Xiaodong again: "Since you have led people back, why don't you change the password?"
