Dr. Su, let's have a love affair

Since meeting Gu Jingzhou that day, Su Xiaoxiao hadn't seen him for three consecutive days, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The environment in the disaster area is very harsh, and it is dangerous for volunteers to participate in rescue work.

She then couldn't help but call him, but she couldn't get through after several attempts. It seemed that he might be in an area with no signal.

She had no choice but to send him a message: Brother, I haven’t seen you for a few days. Are you okay?

Gu Jingzhou didn't reply for a long time.

Su Xiaoxiao lay in the tent that night, tossing and turning because of worry.

Fortunately, the next morning, he finally sent a message back: Thank you for your concern, I am fine, brother. You should also pay attention to safety and take care of yourself over here.

Only when she saw his reply did Su Xiaoxiao feel relieved.

After many days, she still didn't see him.

However, every few days he would take the initiative to send her a message, asking if she was doing well over there? This was also a tactful way of letting her know that she was safe.

The two of them chatted briefly each time and then didn't talk any more.

After Su Xiaoxiao had been stationed here for more than half a month, Ji Xingyuan came over. He came with the car carrying the Ji family's donated supplies.

The amount of money and materials donated by Ji this time was not small.

It was with great difficulty that he finally found the location of Su Xiaoxiao's medical team.

But the couple only met briefly and were together for a short while.

Because Su Xiaoxiao is really busy, her work and the devastated environment she is in now do not allow her to be too sentimental.

Ji Xingyuan actually just wanted to come and see her.

After seeing her working so enthusiastically and busy with her colleagues and arranging several trucks of donated supplies, he left.

So that she can stand on her own and lead the team here with peace of mind.

Because there were so many injured victims, some of whom required long-term treatment, Su Xiaoxiao and her colleagues from the medical team stayed here for nearly two months.

During this period, Gu Jingzhou came to see her once on the Dragon Boat Festival.

When he came over, he was covered in dust, his shoes were dirty, and his hair looked messy.

The whole person became darker and seemed to have become thinner.

However, it still couldn't conceal his handsomeness and uprightness, and his pair of black eyes looked particularly bright, as if they were glowing.

You can see that he is in good spirits.

Su Xiaoxiao was very pleased to see him like this.

When it was time for dinner, the two of them sat together and ate from a big pot, exchanging information about each other's work and life here.

While eating, Su Xiaoxiao accidentally discovered that he had injuries on his hands and arms.

At her strong request, after dinner, she immediately helped him clean the wound and applied medicine carefully.

Then, after her inquiries, she learned that he was injured not only in his hands, but also in his back and legs.

And the wounds on his legs were festering.

Seeing that he didn't take care of his body, she couldn't help but feel a little angry. "Brother, if you get hurt in the future, please seek medical treatment in time. In this weather, wounds can easily become infected and inflamed. Do you hear me?"

"Haha, sometimes I can't take care of it." Hearing Su Xiaoxiao's caring advice, Gu Jingzhou felt a warmth in his heart.

"You have to take care of it even if you can't. If you can't take care of yourself, how can you take care of the victims and help them rebuild their homes?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you and pay attention next time."

"Don't always give me the cold shoulder. In the future, try to be more patient and take things slow. If you get injured again and can't find another doctor, come and get us."

"Okay, brother, remember it."

Watching Su Xiaoxiao carefully disinfect the wounds on his body, apply medicine, and give him a tube of ointment to carry with him, she nagged him so much.

Gu Jingzhou just felt that the hard work, dangers he faced, and injuries he suffered here during these days were all worth it.

Before leaving, he took out a small piece of Dragon Boat Festival cake from his pocket.

With a faint smile, she handed it to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "I brought this food especially for you. I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival here."

"Thank you, brother. I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival."

Su Xiaoxiao took the small and simple Dragon Boat Festival cake, and a layer of warmth suddenly surged in her eyes and heart.

She immediately opened the wrapping paper, broke the Dragon Boat Festival cake in half, and handed half to Gu Jingzhou, "Let's each have half."

"I don't really like sweet things, so you can keep it for yourself."

"I can't eat that much. Today is a holiday, so just eat a little to suit the occasion."

"Okay then." Gu Jingzhou didn't refuse anymore.

He felt warm and sweet in his heart. He ate half of the cake in front of Su Xiaoxiao before leaving.

After that, the two stayed in different resettlement sites and never met again.

In a blink of an eye, it was mid-July, and the other medical teams had left one after another, and Su Xiaoxiao was also preparing to lead the team back to Haicheng.

Two days before leaving, she made a special call to Gu Jingzhou.

"Brother, our medical team will be leaving the day after tomorrow. How long do you plan to stay here? Otherwise, why not go back to Haicheng with our medical team's car the day after tomorrow morning?"

"...Okay, then I'll come over to your place tomorrow and go with you the day after tomorrow."

Gu Jingzhou paused and agreed with mixed feelings.

Together with a group of volunteers, I participated in rescue and post-disaster reconstruction work in W County for nearly two months.

Both physically and mentally, he feels extremely fulfilled every day.

After a tiring day, I lay down quietly at night and thought of Su Xiaoxiao who was also in the same county town. He and she were doing work with different content but the same meaning.

He felt that they lived in the same dimension.

Their souls are so close.

Now, he was about to leave this place where he had developed feelings for her so soon and end his life so close to her. He felt deeply reluctant.

At noon the next day, he arrived at the resettlement site where Su Xiaoxiao was, carrying a simple backpack.

After arriving, he was not idle. He would help wherever he saw help was needed and was very efficient.

He is not afraid of getting dirty or tired, and he doesn't have the airs of a CEO at all.

Su Xiaoxiao felt like he had completely changed into a different person.

It becomes so simple, plain and clear at a glance.

No, he hasn't changed completely. Back when he was in Guanshan Primary School, he actually had such a simple and honest side.

However, once he returned to Haicheng, the prosperous and bustling metropolis, he would unconsciously put on the cloak of a noble, complex, cold and alienated urban elite.

Or maybe, it's not something I put on unconsciously, but I have to put it on.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a little bitter in her heart.

Because she felt some of the helplessness in life as someone from a family like Gu Jingzhou.

Some identities and some things may not be what he wants to pursue.

However, he has to take responsibility.

However, think about it, in this world, whether you are a man or a woman, rich or poor, everyone has to bear some responsibilities in their lifetime, right?

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

She hoped that Gu Jingzhou could feel the joy of life while shouldering the responsibilities for the rest of his life.
