After hearing Zhou Chen's answer, Chen Yue's eyes darkened and she spoke in a faint tone.
"Sure enough, you don't love me as much as I thought."
Zhou Chen said slowly: "I just didn't obey your will, it doesn't mean I don't love you. I know you do the same, and you love me too, but when faced with this life choice between career and love, you
It’s okay to choose a career, I won’t blame you, and I believe you won’t blame me, right?”
"Ha, to be honest, you are so calm and terrifying. Maybe it's like you said. In a profession like yours, you can see through life and death. What else can't you see through?"
Chen Yue's expression returned to normal. After talking about it, although she still had regrets in her heart, her mood became much brighter and she was no longer entangled.
"What I just said is true. If I miss you, I may never find a boyfriend like you in this life."
"But forget it, how can a boyfriend have a sense of accomplishment in his career? Besides, I already have an outstanding man like you, so there is nothing to regret."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "As long as you can figure it out."
He has a task to complete, and Chen Yue cares more about his career. The most important thing is that neither of them is willing to compromise for the other. If it continues, the relationship will only become more and more tense. A clean breakup is the best choice.
.
"I will take the things here when I have time."
"Don't worry, when will you leave the country?"
"After the work in the company is handed over, I have to go back home, and then I will go abroad. It is estimated that it will be at least a month later."
"I'll see you off then."
Chen Yue looked at Zhou Chen for a long time, then smiled and nodded: "Okay."
After being silent for a while, she suddenly said: "Actually, I have thought about it, if you don't want to go abroad with me, I won't break up with you. We have been in a foreign relationship for more than two years. I think we might be able to persist.
.”
"But I quickly rejected this idea, because after going abroad, I couldn't be sure whether or when I would return to China. Keep putting it off like this is not a good thing for you or me. We have fallen in love, and we have
It’s a wonderful memory. I don’t want to be so embarrassed when we break up in the end. I hope we can both be decent. Maybe if we meet again in the future, we can say hello in a friendly way.”
Zhou Chen said seriously: "You are Chen Yue, so you won't do that. You know very well what you are pursuing. No one can tell the future, but if there is really a chance to meet again, I don't think we will
Will be just strangers."
Chen Yue smiled and said: "I have learned a lot from you during the time I have been with you. I really like your free and easy attitude. Sometimes I feel that you are, how should I say, a bit ethereal?"
It feels like you have seen through reality, like a wise man; but you also have the pursuits of ordinary people, like to eat delicious food, play fun things, and know how to enjoy it, as if there are no difficulties in the world that can make you retreat."
Zhou Chen laughed and said: "You say that as if I am an otherworldly monk. That's not okay. I have impure roots, strong desires, and love for the beauty of the world. Even if I live another hundred or thousand years,
Even in ten thousand years, it is impossible to reach that state."
"That's true. I don't know anything else, but you have a strong desire, and I understand it deeply."
Chen Yue showed a charming smile, then stood up and stretched out her hand to Zhou Chen.
"Ex-boyfriend."
Zhou Chen also stretched out his hand and shook it with hers.
"Ex-girlfriend."
"It's already very late today, so I'll go back first."
Chen Yue was about to leave, but Zhou Chen said: "It's so late and it will take too much time to go back. Just stay here. Anyway, your things are still there."
But Chen Yue said vigilantly: "We have broken up."
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "I know, but we broke up peacefully. Even if we are not lovers, we are still friends, right?"
Chen Yue still looked suspicious: "Are you trying to cause harm?"
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes: "Look at what you said, although I am not a gentleman, I can't use force. Besides, we are so familiar, so what..."
"Shut up."
Chen Yue shouted, interrupting Zhou Chen's words, her face turned red.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to stay. It was already getting late and it would take an hour to take a taxi back, which was too much of a waste of time.
After taking a shower, Chen Yue walked into the master bedroom as a habit. She didn't react until she saw Zhou Chen and was about to leave immediately, but Zhou Chen held her hand.
"What are you doing? We have broken up. You can't mess around."
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said, "I know we have broken up, but can't we continue to love each other after we break up?"
"ah?"
Chen Yue's brain shrank instantly.
Can't we continue to love after a breakup?
Listen, this is all the talk of tigers and wolves. Can anyone with a normal mind say such things?
"Do you know what nonsense you are talking about?"
Zhou Chen, however, used a strong hand to pull Chen Yue into his arms.
"Although we have broken up, at this moment, shouldn't we have a breakup?"
"Scumbag."
Chen Yue's face turned red and she wanted to push Zhou Chen away, but her strength was really insignificant to Zhou Chen and she couldn't push Zhou Chen away at all.
As soon as Zhou Chen lowered his head, he kissed her, and then was bitten by Chen Yue.
"Zhou Chen, don't go too far, we have already separated..."
But Zhou Chen ignored her and continued his behavior. After a while, she was so confused that she no longer had the strength to push Zhou Chen away, and she couldn't control her heart at all. In the end, she naturally cooperated.
Starting from Zhou Chen.
On the first day after they broke up, they lay together again. Zhou Chen even became more domineering, making Chen Yue unable to resist at all and turned into a little sheep.
An hour and a half later, Chen Yue angrily twisted Zhou Chen's arm.
"Scumbag, why didn't I realize before that you are so shameless and shameless? We have already broken up, and you are still doing this with me. I think you did it on purpose."
Zhou Chen gently stroked her head and said: "I am different from the scumbag. At least I didn't deceive you about your feelings or your money. We are in love with each other. You just didn't
Are you very cooperative too?"
Chen Yue's face turned redder: "I resisted, but you were too rude. Can you blame me? You even talked about breaking up..., you are really too shameless."
"Thick-skinned is also one of my strengths."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Although we have broken up now, we can still be friends before you go abroad."
"Friends, good friends lying on the same bed?"
Chen Yue rolled her eyes, but things had happened, and she didn't have any resentment. She just felt it was absurd. They broke up an hour ago, and then they were lying on the same bed again an hour later. What the hell is this?
"This is called a good friend who knows everything."
"I know your size, you're obscene."
Zhou Chen exerted force on his hand, looked into Chen Yue's eyes, and grinned: "I have something even more obscene..."
Early the next morning, Chen Yue dragged her tired body up to wash up, get dressed and prepare to leave.
Zhou Chen asked: "Are you coming tonight?"
"Not coming."
"Then you don't want anything?"
"Come on, I'll pack your things tonight, that's all."
Chen Yue stepped on her high heels, glared at Zhou Chen fiercely, then put her bag on her back and left Zhou Chen's house. But when she walked to the door, she turned around and looked at Zhou Chen.
"In the evening I want to eat the pickled fish and pork rib soup that you made by yourself. Also, our relationship can only last until I go abroad, and we have broken up."
Zhou Chen made a gesture: "No problem, I am the person who keeps my promises. I will break up when I say we will break up. I will never stalk you."
"It would be weird to believe you."
Chen Yue quickly went downstairs, but after arriving downstairs, she couldn't help but look upstairs.
"What kind of breakup is this? Really, why can't I resist him? It seems I can only wait until I go abroad and slowly forget about it."
She sincerely wants to break up, but she also sincerely doesn't want to leave Zhou Chen. Especially when Zhou Chen approaches her and touches her, she is even more unable to resist.
Breaking up with Chen Yue had no impact on Zhou Chen's life.
He and Chen Yue were just in love, not to the point where their love was life-and-death and they were inseparable from each other. When they were together, they never talked about the future or marriage.
The feelings are there, but they are not that deep, so even if they break up, they have no regrets and there are not many ups and downs in their hearts.
They have been in love for more than half a year, but they don't really spend much time together. They are both busy people. Chen Yue often travels on business, and Zhou Chen is always busy late. Sometimes they don't see each other for half a month.
.
In the next few days, Chen Yue would come to Zhou Chen's house every night. The two people who had clearly broken up seemed to have never broken up. In fact, many times, Chen Yue was more relaxed, having all kinds of love and affection.
indulgence.
Although this is the case, neither of them has any intention of getting back together. In Zhou Chen's words, they are just good friends who sleep on the same bed and know everything about them.
The heart center is still as busy as ever. Ever since Zhou Chen mentioned to Cui Jing that he would increase his surgical volume, he has been much busier than in the past few months.
On this day, a big event happened at the heart center.
Lin Yi's eldest brother suddenly suffered from a heart attack and was in critical condition. He was sent to the Chest Pain Center in Dongli for emergency treatment and was admitted to the cardiology department.
Previously, Lin Yi got Fan Xin's father's phone number from Zhou Chen and consulted about the source of the heart. Unfortunately, his eldest brother's health was too poor and he couldn't wait for a suitable heart source.
Originally, his eldest brother Lin Hai didn't want to live in the heart center of Dongli Hospital because he didn't want others to know his relationship with Lin Yi, but Lin Yi kept him here in order to spend more time with him. He couldn't resist, so he had to
Agreed.
In fact, their brothers knew very well that they did not have much time together. It might be today or tomorrow, so Lin Hai actually wanted to spend more time with his brother and son.
As Lin Hai was hospitalized, the news spread quickly.
People in the cardiology department, cardiac surgery department, intensive care unit, and everyone who knew Lin Yi were all talking about it and felt sorry for Lin Yi's family.
Many people gathered in the lounge of the intensive care unit.
Liu Dong, who was Lin Yi's assistant, was crying even louder at this time.
"I follow him every day. I stare at him every day. Why didn't I notice him?"
Qiao Ye asked Xie Tianming next to him: "Xie Tianming, you have known him for so long, and you don't know the situation of their family?"
Lin Yi's old classmate Xie Tianming was also confused at this time.
"He never said anything at all. No one in our class knew about it. Look at him being cheerful and careless all day long. He doesn't look afraid if the sky falls. Who would have thought that he...
"
At this time, Zhao Yuliang finally understood why Lin Yi was so opposed to the couple having a child with congenital heart disease.
Fang Xiaoran also sighed: "If it hadn't really happened, no one would have thought that his family would be like this. Now I finally understand why Dean Cui and Director Jiang take care of him so much, and they don't have to work night shifts, just a little
If you have a cold or fever, you should be hospitalized immediately. They must all know this."
Zhao Yuliang said: "In their family's situation, hereditary diseases cannot escape. Although he has not been diagnosed, this feeling of uncertainty is the most torturous. I don't dare to be careless at all."
Xie Tianming asked Zhou Chen: "Director Zhou, you are an authority in cardiac surgery. Isn't there a good way to solve the problem of heart enlargement like Lin Yi's family?"
Zhou Chen replied: "Cordiasis can be controlled by taking medicine, but this is not a long-term solution. It is impossible to cure it by taking medicine. If you want to be cured, it is best to have surgery, such as a heart transplant. If the effect is good,
There is a certain possibility of recovery.”
"But you all know that heart transplant surgery is not as easy as it sounds. It is really difficult to find a suitable matching heart. As for the artificial heart, I can only say that this technology is not so perfect."
"well!"
Everyone sighed again, feeling helpless that their power was nowhere to be used.
Zhao Yuliang said: "I heard from Director Xiaofeng that his elder brother's condition is not very good and he is already in an advanced stage. Please help Lin Yi during this period so that he can spend more time with his elder brother."
This topic is too heavy, but other than that, they really can't help much.
Lin Hai didn't stay in the hospital for long. His body deteriorated quickly. He also felt that his end was approaching, so at the last moment, he asked Lin Yi to take him home. He didn't want to die in the hospital, he wanted to go home.
Return to a place he is familiar with and spend his last days.
Lin Hai also got his wish, and finally passed away in his own home.
The hospital also approved a long leave for Lin Yi, asking him to make good arrangements for his elder brother's funeral, and also asked him to take more rest and adjust his mood before returning to work.
Zhou Chen and others also attended Lin Hai's funeral and saw Lin Yi's state of being like a walking corpse for a period of time.
