Chapter 148 - TTFSO Chapter 148

When Xia Cheng Lang knocked on the door of the emergency room, Tang Liu Yuan was sitting at his desk in his white coat, looking at his computer and concentrating on his medical records. He didn’t lift his head when he heard the knock, and said lightly, “Please Enter.”
Xia Cheng Lang walked in, put his breakfast and milk tea on Tang Liu Yuan’s desk, and said in a natural tone: “Good morning.”
Tang Liu Yuan paused in his typing and looked up at him in surprise, “Why are you here?”
Xia Cheng Lang sat down in the seat opposite him, shook his hand and the registration form in his hand, and said with a curved smile, “I’m here to see Dr. Tang for a follow-up.”
Tang Liu Yuan was silent for a moment, using his mouse to close the computer interface. Although he didn’t think Xia Cheng Lang’s hand injury needed to be reviewed after only one night, he couldn’t turn the patient away since he was already here and had registered in a proper manner.
He stood up and wanted to examine Xia Cheng Lang’s hand, but Xia Cheng Lang’s fingers tapped on the table a few times, pointing at his breakfast, “Eat your breakfast first.”
Tang Liu Yuan swept a glance at the breakfast that Xia Cheng Lang had bought for him. Those breakfasts were his favourites before. When he was in school, Xia Cheng Lang often bought breakfast for him like this. After so many years, his taste has not changed, but the person has changed.
His eyes moved away from the breakfast and finally landed on the cup of milk tea. The milk tea packaging had a cute cartoon design, probably bought from a nearby milk tea chain. It was more exquisite than the milk tea made by Grandma Wang, but the flavour was certainly not as mellow as Grandma Wang’s milk tea.
Tang Liu Yuan withdrew his eyes and said in a cold voice, “It’s work time, I won’t be eating breakfast here, and I don’t drink milk tea now.”
After so many years, he had never drunk milk tea again, because when he drank milk tea, he would always unconsciously think of those evenings when he went home with Xia Cheng Lang, the sunset, the setting sun, the milk tea and the fresh breeze……were all too beautiful, so in retrospect, the milk tea he drank into his mouth would become extra sour.
When Xia Cheng Lang heard that he was not drinking milk tea, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence asked: “Is Grandma Wang still doing okay?”
Tang Liu Yuan lowered his eyes, his voice slightly lowered, “Aged, her body inevitably has some ailments……but Grandma Wang is still insisting on selling milk tea, the school took pity on her and set up a small temporary shop for her in front of the school, now Grandma Wang at least doesn’t have to be exposed to the wind and rain.”
Xia Cheng Lang nodded and asked again: “What about Xiao Nai Cha? Are you…… still raising him?”
Xia Cheng Lang was a little worried that Tang Liu Yuan had simply given their cub away in a fit of anger back then.
Tang Liu Yuan pursed hia lips and said in a rare moment of peace: “……has grown up and gained weight.”
“Do you have a picture?”
Tang Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment and found a photo from his phone and handed it to him, but Xia Cheng Lang didn’t take the phone, instead pulling out his own phone and saying, “Send me the photo, let’s add friends first.”
After they separated that year, Tang Liu Yuan’s chat app has never been updated. Five years had passed, and the chat app they all used had long since been updated, with fewer and fewer people using the old chat app, and they were not yet friends on the new chat app.
Tang Liu Yuan looked up at him quietly, his gaze slightly sunken, pursing his lips without movement.
Xia Cheng Lang also looked at him, his gaze insistent, his voice low and dry: “I miss Xiao Nai Cha, I want to keep the photos of Xiao Nai Cha in my phone, look at them when I have nothing to do……” I also miss you, I also want to keep your photos in my phone, take them out every day and look at them, but Xia Cheng Lang, despite his thick skin, did not dare to say this sentence in the end.
The two of them faced each other without words for a few moments, but Tang Liu Yuan compromised first. After all, Xiao Nai Cha was given to him by Xia Cheng Lang. Although this should be one of the lies that Xia Cheng Lang used to deceive him, Xia Cheng Lang is also the owner of Xiao Nai Cha after all, and he has the right to know the current situation of Xiao Nai Cha.
Tang Liu Yuan lowered his eyes and tossed the phone directly to Xia Cheng Lang, “Add it yourself.”
Xia Cheng Lang curled his lips and took the phone, pushing his breakfast forward, “You eat your breakfast first, don’t waste food just because you’re angry with me, the farmers work hard when they grow food, every grain of rice is full of sweat.”
Xia Cheng Lang’s reasoning was really high-sounding, Tang Liu Yuan gave him a look and called Zhu Xue in directly, asking: “Have you eaten breakfast?”
“……No.” Zhu Xue froze for a moment, then shook her head, she turned her head slightly sideways, saw Xia Cheng Lang who appeared in Dr. Tang’s room early in the morning, couldn’t help but reveal a surprised and shocked look.
Tang Liu Yuan handed over the breakfast along with the milk tea, “This is for you to eat.”
“Thank you, Dr. Tang!” Zhu Xue was delighted and took the breakfast. These breakfasts looked like they should have been made by a nearby star-rated hotel, with exquisite appearance, and they were delicious at first glance.
Xia Cheng Lang opened his mouth reluctantly, he had run to several places to buy all those breakfasts, especially that cup of milk tea, which he had specially bought according to Tang Liu Yuan’s taste, it was all milk and all sugar, he only wanted to give it to Tang Liu Yuan, but before he could say anything, Zhu Xue had already taken the breakfast and walked out happily, not giving him a chance to retort.
“There’s no need to waste food now.” Tang Liu Yuan gave Xia Cheng Lang a faint look and continued typing his medical records on the computer.
Xia Cheng Lang had no choice but to take Tang Liu Yuan’s phone and add friends first, knowing that he couldn’t rush things yet, he could only take things one step at a time.
He opened Tang Liu Yuan’s chat app directly, and his avatar was Xiao Nai Cha. Xiao Nai Cha had indeed grown up considerably and looked a little chubby.
Xia Cheng Lang smiled and rubbed his finger on the screen, added friends and took a look at Tang Liu Yuan’s circle of friends1within the chat app, you can post things to your circle of friends, kinda like a facebook feed., which was as cold as he was, with nothing to entertain him, but only a few analyses of medical cases, which seemed to be the result of Tang Liu Yuan’s mentor’s previous research.
Xia Cheng Lang looked at it carefully from beginning to end, as if he wanted to see a part or two of Tang Liu Yuan’s life trajectory over the past few years, and carefully finished reading it before exiting.
When he exited the chat app, he found that the chat app next to this one was the same one that Tang Liu Yuan used to use. It turned out that Tang Liu Yuan had not deleted it yet, and the app was still lying quietly in the chat category folder.
Xia Cheng Lang’s fingers pause slightly as he lifts the phone and points to this app, asking Tang Liu Yuan, “You still have this app and didn’t deleted it?”
Tang Liu Yuan’s expression changed slightly and he blinked dumbly for a moment.
Xia Cheng Lang’s voice couldn’t help but be a little excited, “You haven’t updated it for so many years, I thought you didn’t use it anymore, so……have you heard all the voice messages I’ve sent you over the years?”
Over the years when he was happy, when he was bitter, when he was tired, or when he felt like he couldn’t endure it anymore abroad, he would send messages to Tang Liu Yuan, in which he apologised over and over again, and also kept talking to Tang Liu Yuan about his like, but he never had any wild wishes that Tang Liu Yuan would listen to it, he thought Tang Liu Yuan had stopped using the app a long time ago.
“……didn’t hear it.” Tang Liu Yuan snatched the phone back and slightly turned his face away, his voice slightly deep as he asked, “Do you still want your hand checked? If not, I’ll call the next patient in, so you don’t delay the other patients.”
“I’ll go see Chen She first, and come back when you have fewer patients.” Xia Cheng Lang was a little disappointed to hear his answer, but he was already happy that Tang Liu Yuan was able to keep the app.
He got up from his seat, it was now office hours and it was the peak time for patients to come to see him, he could not delay Tang Liu Yuan in treating his patients.
As he walked out the door, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that Tang Liu Yuan had sent over several pictures of Xiao Nai Cha, both when it was young and now after it had grown up.
He carefully selected an emoji to reply to Tang Liu Yuan, only to find that Tang Liu Yuan had already deleted him as a friend. He couldn’t help sighing, smiled helplessly, and put the phone back in his pocket.
He raised his head and his eyes just bumped into Zhu Xue’s line of sight, who was staring at him with a curious and inquisitive look on her face, but when she saw him looking over, she immediately withdrew her eyes sheepishly, trying to cover up by touching the hair around her ears.
Xia Cheng Lang walked over and smiled gently, “Is breakfast good?”
Zhu Xue hurriedly wiped her mouth with a tissue and stood up and nodded nervously, “Yes, it’s very delicious.”
“Then when I buy breakfast for Liu Yuan tomorrow, I’ll bring you one too.”
Zhu Xue froze and asked with some surprise: “Did you buy these breakfasts? Bought for Dr. Tang?”
Xia Cheng Lang nodded his head and said straightforwardly without evasion: “I want to chase him.”
Zhu Xue was surprised, and after a moment of bewilderment, she said: “Could it be you fell in love with our Dr. Tang at first sight?”
Xia Cheng Lang looked down and thought about it, now that he thought about it, he did fall in love with Tang Liu Yuan at first sight back then, he just hadn’t noticed it at that time.
“Yes, you can help me put in more good words in front of Liu Yuan.” Xia Cheng Lang smiled, he felt that he had to start with the people around Tang Liu Yuan, so that Tang Liu Yuan would feel his presence all the time.
Zhu Xue looked a little embarrassed, “It’s useless for me to put in a good word for you.”
“Why?” Xia Cheng Lang leaned against the wall and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zhu Xue looked around, approached Xia Cheng Lang and lowered her voice: “Everyone says that Dr. Tang and Dr. Sun are a couple.”
Xia Cheng Lang’s face sank, “Dr. Sun?”
“En, Dr. Sun Yu Ming, he is Dr. Tang’s senior, he and Dr. Tang were under the same tutor in college, they often visit that teacher together after work, I always see them going in and out together, and Dr. Tang is cold to everyone, but he is always very different to Dr. Sun, very respectful, so basically everyone in the hospital has acquiesced that they are a couple.” Zhu Xue sighed, “You showed up too late, there may really be no hope.”
When Zhu Xue finished speaking, she saw that Xia Cheng Lang did not respond for half a day, not even a word, and thought he had given up, only to look up and realise that Xia Cheng Lang had a gloomy face and his lips were pursed into a straight line.
When he didn’t speak or smile, there was an inexplicable sense of oppression around him, and Zhu Xue unconsciously took a step back.
Xia Cheng Lang raised his eyes, narrowed his eyes as he looked ahead and asked in a deep voice: “Is he Sun Yu Ming?”
Zhu Xue turned her head dazedly, and saw that Sun Yu Ming was walking towards this side with the medical records in his hand, she couldn’t help but secretly think that Xia Cheng Lang and Tang Liu Yuan had only met twice, even if Xia Cheng Lang liked Tang Liu Yuan, he wouldn’t have much feelings for him, but she didn’t expect that the heir of the Xia family would be so angry now, she suddenly felt that she had caused trouble, and it was a big trouble.1within the chat app, you can post things to your circle of friends, kinda like a facebook feed.
