The rockery king completed his mission and returned it to its original position. Gu Yixin washed his hands with the watering device in passing and took over the dazed baby who was going to sleep.

 

Lu Mingshi seemed to be in a good mood because An Qiao had told him that the drug research had made great progress.

Recently, Lu Mingshi and An Qiao got closer because Lu Mingshi had been urging An Qiao to develop the drug as soon as possible. Due to this reason, Hei Che had complained many times too.

After Lu Jiujin fell asleep, Gu Yixin pulled Lu Mingshi to have a man-to-man conversation.

“Honey, you’ve been going to Dr. An Qiao a lot lately. What’s the reason for that?” Gu Yixin took Lu Mingshi’s hand and asked seriously.

Lu Mingshi was very touched. My husband is worried about me. My husband is really good.

“It’s about work.”

Lu Mingshi did not lie. He and An Qiao did think that if this drug could be mass-produced, it would definitely be very popular. However, it required a lot of preparation time in the early stage, and the real floating1to hit the market (of a new product) / to float (a company on the stock market) may not be completed in ten or eight years.

When Gu Yixin heard that it was a work matter, he suddenly felt that his worries were very narrow-minded, and he ran to put bath water for Lu Mingshi with guilt.

It was settled in a few words on this side. But Hei Che was still wandering downstairs at An Qiao’s house.

Hei Che squatted in the cold wind, looking up at the light of An Qiao’s house in a daze until that little light went out.

He had just been discharged from the hospital today and had wanted to come to An An to give him a surprise.

But he saw An An bid farewell to some man downstairs.

Yes, that was Lu Mingshi.

Why? Hei Che’s heart was filled with bitterness. Why are you always looking at others, but can’t take a look at me?

Hei Che took out a small handkerchief, blew the snot gushing out of his nose as his eyes were sore, and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road.

The next morning, An Qiao carried his research results having a 88% progress rate, and went to work at the hospital with his spirit trembling with excitement2(idiom); in high spirits / lively and full of enthusiasm / full of energy / con brio.

When he passed by bed 66, he habitually stopped for a moment.

However, Hei Che’s joyful call was not heard today.

The doctor who had just finished checking the rooms in the ward came out, and on seeing An Qiao’s puzzled expression, he explained, “Director, are you here to see the patient in bed 66? He was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon.”

“Discharged?” An Qiao was a little stunned. He was not Hei Che’s attending doctor, so he didn’t know about it.

An Qiao thought for a moment and asked, “Had he completely recovered all his memories?”

“Yes.” The doctor replied, “Including the person that he had been unable to remember before. He had also remembered them.”

“Oh…… Oh.”

An Qiao nodded and his expression looked unchanged. He was still the usual open-minded and cheerful Dr. An

An Qiao walked to the office and looked around. Everything was arranged and furnished as it was when he left yesterday. It was as if he could see himself and Mr. Lu sitting here discussing the developments in the investigation of the drug yesterday afternoon. At that time, Hei Che had already gone through the procedures for leaving the hospital.

He didn’t even come over to take a look at him.

The stupid fool who had been pestering him every day was finally not stupid anymore.

 

Of course, he had already remembered who the real An An was and that he was just an impostor ah.

When Hei Che remembered who the person who really made him infatuated was, he, an incompetent doctor, naturally withdrew from the stage of history.

“Great. Mr. Lu no longer has to worry about someone coming to disturb my research.” An Qiao muttered to himself as he checked the devices once more and proceeded with starting his day’s work.

In the afternoon, Lu Mingshi came to the office alone to check An Qiao’s research progress.

“Hey, why didn’t Young Master Hei come to harass you today?”

“He got discharged from the hospital.” An Qiao said listlessly.

“Still 88%?” Lu Mingshi was incredulous and looked at An Qiao unexpectedly.

An Qiao said dejectedly, “Boss, I worked very hard. But it is very strange today. I can’t concentrate at all and my mind is always flying to some unknown places in space.”

Lu Mingshi felt that this matter might be more serious than he imagined.

As you know, An Qiao was a real top student, and he had always been No.1 from childhood to adulthood. He was the best from study to work, and his study methods and work methods were also very reliable. He never had a situation where he couldn’t concentrate mentally.

“Right, Boss. You think it’s serious too?” An Qiao covered her face and sighed, “But I can’t find the reason.”

Lu Mingshi and Gu Yixin had been together for a long time. So naturally, he had also learned Gu Yixin’s analytical methods.

“It’s simple, at times like this, we should use the control variable method.”

“The control variable method??”

An Qiao thought in shock: Why didn’t I think of such a simple method?

So the Boss really is the Boss.

Just take today and yesterday for comparison.

The research time is one day.

The place of research is the office.

The researcher is An Qiao.

Even the breakfast he ate in the morning, the length of time the toothbrush stayed in his mouth, the time he came to the hospital did not change.

The only difference was……

An Qiao’s face changed slightly.

Lu Mingshi raised his eyebrows, “Is it because Hei Che was discharged from the hospital?”

An Qiao’s shoulders trembled slightly as he looked at Lu Mingshi with a philosophical gaze.

“Let’s put down work for now.” Lu Mingshi said to An Qiao, “I see that you have some other matters that need to be prioritised.”

An Qiao subconsciously denied, “Work is the most important thing……”

 

“Now your job is to go find the person who distracted you and get your problems solved.” Lu Mingshi pointed to the research progress showing 88%, “This is the task. Hei Che’s address is No. 250, Block B, Honggu District.”

Lu Mingshi threw a set of car keys to An Qiao.

An Qiao drove the car that was provided by his Boss and arrived at the door of Hei Che’s house with trepidation.

He dialled the patient’s contact information, but it was the housekeeper of the Hei family who answered the call.

“Hello, who is this3In a polite way?”

An Qiao then explained that he was Hei Che’s doctor and had come to his home to pay a return visit.

The housekeeper’s voice became very respectful, “Young Master is recovering well. Wait a moment. I’ll go at once to report to the Young Master and open the door for you.”

Hei Che was holding An Qiao’s photo at this moment, lost in thought.

The housekeeper hesitantly knocked on the door, “Young Master, there is someone……”

“Not seeing.” Hei Che said directly.

Who could it be that came? It wouldn’t be him anyway.

Hei Che caressed the photo while wanting to cry.

An Qiao waited outside the door for a long time while waiting for the housekeeper to call back.

“Sorry doctor. The Young Master said he wasn’t feeling well. He’ll see you another day. He is going to bed early”

An Qiao looked at the phone that hung up and was very upset.

Just a moment ago, he had said that he was recovering well. And then he said he was not feeling well. So he must be putting him off.

Hei Che doesn’t want to see me at all. An Qiao was a little sad.

But I have to see him today and have an in-depth conversation. Otherwise, there would be no way to work smoothly tomorrow.

So An Qiao gritted his teeth and climbed in through the courtyard wall.

Only Hei Che lived in the house of Hei Che’s family. Hei Che was very reassured about his personal safety. So the security factor of this house was not high, and there was not even an alarm.

An Qiao observed the terrain and decided to climb up the tree first. Then he jumped into the half-covered window on the second floor and then went to look for Hei Che’s room.

At last, pressing his luck, An Qiao thought solemnly: Anyway, he had already broken into a private house, so he might as well go one step further.

In all his life, An Qiao had never climbed over a wall or a tree before.

An Qiao was teetering on the tree while Hei Che was grieving over the passing of spring in the bathtub.

An Qiao struggled to reach out, had difficulty pulling open the door that opens outward, and tried to jump in.

“Thu — mp!”

Turning in the air for half a circle. The difficulty factor was 1.0 and the completion points were zero.

 

The main reason was that the splash was not suppressed.

An Qiao fell in sideways, and his head smashed into a really hard chest, making him confused and disoriented.

Hei Che suddenly sat up from the bathtub, holding on to An Qiao’s shoulder, who was about to slide into the water, with a blank expression.

“Don’t tell me.” Hei Che muttered, “That I am already hallucinating?”

Hei Che stretched out his hand and squeezed his chest ruthlessly.

“Ow~~”

An Qiao was not quite sober at first but was directly shocked by this high-pitched scream that he closed his eyes with a thump.

An Qiao opened his eyes and found himself lying on a luxuriously large bed. Hei Che was melancholy kneeling down in front of him, staring at him with wide eyes.

“An An!” On seeing that An Qiao was awake, Hei Che immediately crawled over excitedly and diligently wiped his face with a towel.

An Qiao took the towel by himself weakly, and said with difficulty, “Haven’t you already recovered your memory? Then why do you still continue to call me An An.”

Hei Che hesitantly said, “You…… You know all about it.”

An Qiao rubbed his face once with the ice towel, and the whole person regained his sanity and sobriety.

“I’m here to talk to you to clear this matter up.” An Qiao tried his best to look at Hei Che coldly.

An Qiao stared at the suntanned and pitiful face in front of him. Hei Che’s facial features were very rough and manly, and he was not An Qiao’s favourite type.

Or in other words, An Qiao had been single for so many years and had never thought about what kind of person he liked. He hadn’t even chased celebrities. In the past, some people professed their love to him. But An Qiao was apparently very slow on the emotional front, so it never worked out.

However, this rough guy’s face now made An Qiao’s heart flutter like never before.

Hei Che’s eyes were always very focused when he looked at him as if he was the only one in the world who was worthy of his attention.

So despite knowing that everything was just a misunderstanding, he still liked the feeling.

An Qiao shed a bitter tear for himself.

Hei Che looked back at An Qiao blankly, with question marks on his forehead.

Suddenly, An Qiao leaned forward and raised Hei Che’s square chin with the index finger of one hand. So then Hei Che had to look up at An Qiao at a forty-five-degree angle.

An Qiao gradually approached Hei Che. Hei Che’s face became redder and redder.……

An Qiao looked at Hei Che’s face in surprise, “It turns out that your face can be so red.”

Hei Che replied in a rough voice, “Oh, that’s because the weather is too hot.”

“An An……”

“Who is An An?”

An Qiao had always spoken to Hei Che with the gentleness and patience of a doctor facing a patient. This was the first time Hei Che had heard An Qiao’s cold voice.

 

“It’s you.”

Hei Che reached out and hugged An Qiao’s back, burying his reddened face in Dr. An’s slightly cool shoulder.

When his brain was damaged, he could confess it a hundred times without blushing. Once his brain was cured, he got bashful just by calling him An An, which showed that his brain damage was cured.

An Qiao’s face was also red like a tomato. So he coughed lightly to cover up and patted Hei Che’s back.

“Your illness has been cured. Comrade Hei Che, please don’t throw a tantrum easily.”

That night Hei Che followed An Qiao home.

An Qiao walked on the left side, while Hei Che walked on the right. An Qiao’s right hand and Hei Che’s left hand were held together that way.

What were the other two hands that were empty doing?

Of course, they were desperately fanning their faces.

When Lu Mingshi got home, Jiujin woke up and kept clamouring for a hug.

Lu Mingshi picked him up and swayed him around the room, making the kid immediately show a smile.

After playing for a while, Lu Mingshi’s mobile phone rang with a “Ding Dong”.

“Husband, take a look at it for me.” Lu Mingshi was lifting up his clothes to breastfeed the baby, and couldn’t move his hand away.

Gu Yixin picked it up. It was a WeChat from An Qiao.

When he saw An Qiao’s name, Gu Yixin was a little nervous. And when he clicked on the chat record, he couldn’t help but touch the hair on top of his head.

An Qiao had just sent a picture of hands clasped together.

After seeing the complexion clearly, Gu Yixin was relieved at first and then shouted in surprise:

“Honey!!! It’s terrible. Dr. An and Young Master Hei are…… Arm wrestling!”

Lu Mingshi looked bewildered, “What the hell? Husband, show it to me.”

Gu Yixin then took the phone over to Lu Mingshi to see.

Lu Mingshi: “……”

How can someone arm wrestle with one left hand and one right hand?” Lu Mingshi freed up his right hand, grabbed Gu Yixin’s empty left hand, and held it.

Ten fingers interlocked.

“This is not called arm wrestling.” Lu Mingshi said, “This is to tell us that they are together.”
