Mr. Mu, stop bullying Professor Jian.

It was almost noon. Jian Zhinian was sitting outside an outpatient clinic of the Department of Gastroenterology II. He waited for the last wave of patients to leave and the doctor on duty to go to lunch before he knocked on the door.

Luo Jiushuai had just stood up and was bending over to turn off the computer screen when he heard a knock on the door. He didn't even turn his head and replied directly.

"Come in."

Jian Zhinian sat down in the patient chair.

Luo Jiushuai was about to say wait until the afternoon, but when he turned around and saw the dejected Jian Zhinian, he was stunned for a moment, then crossed his arms across his chest and started to nag in a sarcastic manner.

"Hey, isn't this Professor Jian from K University? How come you have time to come to my gastroenterology department today? Is the laboratory of K University going to close down? Professor Jian came here uninvited today, tsk tsk..."

Seeing Jian Zhinian hanging his head and looking indifferent, he changed his address and continued.

"That's amazing, Jian Zhinian. I asked you eight hundred times for the reexamination report from a month ago, but you only came today to get it. Do you think I, Luo Jiushuai, have nothing to do every day?"

"Do you know that if you continue to disobey the doctor's advice, gastric bleeding may be fatal. Gastritis and gastric ulcers have a certain probability of turning into cancer."

"Hey, are you listening to me?"

Luo Jiushuai looked at the dejected man in front of him, and realized belatedly that something was wrong with Jian Zhinian.

"Zhi Nian, have you encountered any difficulties?" Luo Jiushuai regained some seriousness.

"Mu Xingchen is back."

Jian Zhinian spoke calmly, then took out the medical examination form in his hand, handed it to Luo Jiushuai, and said, "I don't want to do a gastroscopy again. Please help me write a test report."

"Don't think I don't know what you are planning and how you want to hide your illness."

Luo Jiushuai glanced at the medical examination form, and immediately stood up from his seat, shouting, "What did you just say? Mu Xingchen is back? This is the medical examination form he gave me. Damn, what does he mean?"

"No, why did he give you a medical examination form?"

Luo Jiushuai quickly grasped the key point. Seeing Jian Zhinian's half-dead look, he calmed down a bit and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

When Jian Zhinian came here, he never thought that he could hide it from Luo Jiushuai, so he simply told him about his situation.

After listening to this, Luo Jiushuai shook his head, feeling so disappointed!

"Zhi Nian, I don't know what to say to you..." How dare you sign that kind of contract!

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you. But look at that bastard Mu Xingchen. Now that he has gained power, he has turned his back on you. This medical examination form is clearly meant to humiliate you."

Damn, I've never seen such blatant humiliation.

Mu Xingchen, how could you not know what kind of person Jian Zhinian is?

Actually...

Damn it!

"I'll give you a report, just this once, and it won't happen again. Also, you had a stomach bleed last time, and you were in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital without resting well. With your irregular schedule of getting up early and going to bed late, it's probably a good thing that your condition hasn't gotten worse."

"I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Go home and take it honestly. It would be best if you can stay in the hospital for a while."

"I don't have time to be hospitalized." Jian Zhinian refused.

Luo Jiushuai smiled coldly and said sarcastically, "Yes, you are busy with your research and chasing men. You don't even care about your life. How can you have time to be hospitalized?"

Jian Zhinian was in the wrong, so he just whispered, "Jiu Shuai, please stop making fun of me."

He has been hurt and ridiculed enough in the past two days.

Luo Jiushuai glanced at Jian Zhinian, suppressed his unhappiness, and stopped criticizing Jian Zhinian.

He wrote out a few prescriptions, threw them to Jian Zhinian, and said seriously, "Go pay the money, get the medicine, and take it on time!"

Jian Zhinian took the list but didn't move.

Seeing that no one was moving, Luo Jiushuai had a bad feeling and asked, "What else do you want?"

Jian Zhinian whispered, "Please prescribe some more medicine for me."

Luo Jiushuai's eyelids twitched, and he asked, "Jian Zhinian, as soon as Mu Xingchen came back, you...you confessed all this to me, just for the medicine, right?"

Jian Zhinian nodded.

Luo Jiushuai frowned, then laughed angrily and said, "Even if you have a close relationship, it doesn't necessarily need it!"

"Just in case." Jian Zhinian didn't dare to be careless about this matter.

Luo Jiushuai sighed and said, "Zhi Nian, you can't keep this a secret from him forever."

Jian Zhinian said, "Given our current relationship, it's not time to tell him about this. Apart from her, only you and my mother know about this. Jiushuai, you're the only one who can help me now."

Luo Jiushuai was silent for a long time before he spoke, "I don't have it here. I'll send it to you later."

"Okay, I'm going back."

"Remember to get your medicine!"

Jian Zhinian stood up, nodded, and left.

Holding a bag of medicine, Jian Zhinian stood at the door of the hospital, looking at the black card in his hand. He pondered for a moment, hailed a taxi, and gave the name of a 4S store.

Two hours later, Jian Zhinian happily got his new car and drove it directly back to K University.

Jian Zhinian returned to the dormitory. Five years later, with the construction of the faculty dormitory of K University and his promotion, he could have moved into the new dormitory building with more complete facilities.

But he always insisted on living in the original place, and all these years, he had been waiting for redemption.

Jian Zhinian pulled out the suitcase from under the bed, packed a few sets of clothes and daily necessities, and found a large cardboard box to fill with documents and books, which he loaded into the car in batches.

Standing downstairs of the dormitory building, I suddenly heard loud cheers of encouragement not far away.

Jian Zhinian glanced sideways. On the open-air basketball court, a group of big boys were sweating and playing with passion, unaffected by the cold winter...

Just like that person back then, bright as the morning sun and as dazzling as the stars.

He stretched out his hand, reminiscing about the time when he could pick the stars with his hands.

Jian Zhinian retracted his gaze, opened the car door, got in, and went straight back to Mu Qingyuan's villa.

He didn't bring much, and placed them sporadically in the master bedroom. As for the remaining box of books, Jian Zhinian was in a dilemma. He left the box on the balcony on the first floor and waited for Mu Qingyuan to come back and ask about it.

After packing all these, Jian Zhinian felt dizzy and broke out in cold sweat.

Hypoglycemia.

He realized belatedly that he had only eaten a small piece of cake at the 4S store where he bought the car.

You still have to eat.

Jian Zhinian went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, which was a little too empty, so he closed it again, picked up the car keys and went out.

In the supermarket, Jian Zhinian was pushing a cart by himself, thinking back to the things Mu Qingyuan used to like to eat... beef, lamb chops, vegetables, seasonings, fruits...

He also bought a bag of candies, some daily necessities, and even two pots of plants. Soon he had filled up the cart.

While waiting in line to pay at the checkout counter, Jian Zhinian picked up a bottle of chewing gum and his eyes inadvertently lingered on the product next to the gum for a moment.

"Hello, do you have a membership card?"

Jian Zhinian came back to his senses and replied, "No."

Back in the car, Jian Zhinian's palms were slightly wet as he gripped the steering wheel. He turned his head and glanced at the three large bags on the passenger seat. Inside them lay a small blue and white rectangular box...
