In October 2014, Wen Nan was 10 years old.

After graduating from university, he found a job as a medical representative. In order to sell medicines, he ran around all day, returned to the rental house at night, and fell asleep when he was tired.

After working like this for a while, Wen Nan took a half-hour drive to a certain traditional Chinese medicine hospital in the urban area, which is also within the scope of drug sales designated by the company.

Wen Nan deliberately chose to arrive at the hospital at 11 am, and his briefcase contained the medicines for this sale.Looking at the hospital registration hall with people coming and going, he took a deep breath and walked straight towards the outpatient building inside.

The target is the first office on the second floor.

Sure enough, after 11 o'clock, there were very few patients.

He sat down on the waiting stool beside the old doctor, and Gui Peisheng, who was opposite the old doctor, stretched out a hand to him from a distance: "Where is the registration number? Bring it here and put it in line."

Wen Nan felt his heart beating faster.He shook his head, meaning he didn't see a doctor.

Gui Peisheng glanced at him curiously, then buried himself in his work.

After a while, the last patient left.Looking at the time, there is still half an hour before getting off work at 12 o'clock.Wen Nan immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Hello, Director Li."

"Hello, hello." The old doctor waved his hand, signaling him to sit down.

Wen Nan hurriedly took out the contents of the briefcase: "Director Li, take a look at this medicine, which was developed by our company, and it is specially used to treat lung diseases. It is very effective for coughing up phlegm, pharyngitis, and bronchitis. "

The old doctor was nearly seventy years old, squinting his eyes and struggling to read the words on the box: "Gold... buckwheat... flakes?"

"According to our research, golden buckwheat has dual effects on the treatment of inflammation..." Wen Nan began to introduce the properties of the drug in detail, and that Gui Peisheng was standing next to him, and said, "Show me a box."

Wen Nan glanced at him, and saw that the work card on his left chest read: Physician Guipei, Yang Mingrui.

Yang Mingrui flipped through the packing box with great interest, the old doctor couldn't stop nodding, but didn't say anything.

Before leaving, Wen Nan left a box of golden buckwheat flakes for the old doctor and said, "Director Li, I'll come back next Wednesday." There should be fewer patients at that time.

On the appointed day, Wen Nan set off at 10 am as usual, but was delayed a little while waiting for the bus, and it was 11 am again when he arrived at the hospital.

When Wen Nan walked to the second floor of the outpatient clinic, his heart skipped a beat—the doors of every office were tightly closed.

There was a young man sitting on the waiting bench in the corridor. The movement of Wen Nan going upstairs alarmed him. The man raised his head and looked in Wen Nan's direction.

"Ah!" Seeing Wen Nan, the young man showed joy and stood up from the stool: "You are finally here."

It was Director Li's Gui Peisheng, Yang Mingrui.

Before Wen Nan could open his mouth, Yang Mingrui had already said a long series of words: "The teacher in the outpatient clinic is going to a meeting today and is not going to work. I was afraid that your trip would be in vain. I wanted to call you on the number on the business card, but I couldn't get through. .”

Wen Nan took out his mobile phone and looked at it. He didn't know when it ran out of battery.

"Have you... been waiting for me here?" Wen Nan asked.

Yang Mingrui said, "I thought, I have to tell you about this anyway."

Wen Nan's heartbeat became louder, and he was really afraid that Yang Mingrui in front of him would hear it.There are so many patients in the outpatient clinic every day, and he only appeared once last week, like a flash in the pan, he didn't expect that someone would always remember him.Yang Mingrui even recognized him the moment he saw him.

"Is there anything you want to eat? It's almost noon." Wen Nan looked at his watch as if.

Yang Mingrui was a little surprised: "You want to invite me to dinner?" He suddenly smiled: "Okay. Let's go."

[Four]

Wen Nan was not familiar with this area, so Yang Mingrui recommended him a small restaurant, and the two sat down by the window.

"It's been a long time." Yang Mingrui sighed, "The food here is very good."

Wen Nan just smiled.

Yang Mingrui said again: "Are we the same age?" Without waiting for Wen Nan to answer, he continued: "But there is a big difference. You seem to be a member of the society, but I am still studying while practicing."

"……yes."

"Are you busy with work every day? When are you free?" Yang Mingrui asked again.

"The weekend is still rest as usual."

"Oh."

After a while, Yang Mingrui suddenly said, "Am I noisy?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because you don't want to talk to me at all."

Wen Nan's heart skipped a beat.

Fortunately, at this time, the dishes they ordered came to the table, interrupting the topic.But Wen Nan still blamed himself in his heart for being too careless.He is a drug salesman, Yang Mingrui must think that he can speak well, but he behaves like a young student in front of him.

Too careless.

After dinner, Yang Mingrui had already paid in advance: "Let me treat you, Gui Peisheng is also paid, although it is completely incomparable with a formal doctor." Wen Nan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything .

We are breaking up.

He couldn't hide his disappointment.

Suddenly, Yang Mingrui said: "I'm in the outpatient clinic, and I don't work on weekends." He opened his mouth and smiled: "So, can I go to you?"

Seeing this smile, Wen Nan couldn't refuse.

Nor did he want to say no.

When I got home from get off work at night, Wen Nan had time to take out his cell phone.He carefully saved the phone number Yang Mingrui called, and heaved a sigh of relief as if a stone had fallen from his heart.

There are two days left before the weekend, when will Yang Mingrui come... Saturday?Sunday?He said he would call in advance, how long in advance?Wen Nan closed his eyes and fell into a chaotic dream.

The next day, Wen Nan woke up early, took half a day off from the company, and took a ride to Daqian Road.After getting off the bus, cross the road, go straight for about 100 meters, then turn right, and you will see an old residential area.Wen Nan came to this road every few months and was very familiar with it after walking for nearly three years.

Building No. 13 was his destination.

Stop in front of the door, the door is an old wooden door, the security is not high, but there are no thieves here.There was a gap about two fingers wide under the wooden door. Wen Nan bent down and stuffed an envelope through the gap.

After finishing this, he exhaled lightly from his mouth, it was done.

Whether it makes sense to do so, he no longer knows.But he still didn't stop, everything was just to make himself feel at ease, he is really a selfish person.

After coming out of the old residential area, Wen Nan went to the Chinese Medicine Hospital along the way.

He didn't know why he went there, he didn't have any medicines to sell, and this morning was due to leave, and it wasn't his day to work.But the legs seemed to have their own consciousness, and they went straight to the second floor of the outpatient clinic.

Today, Thursday, the number of patients gradually increased.

Wen Nan pretended to walk past the door unintentionally, and then walked back.He came and went several times, but he didn't see Yang Mingrui who was supposed to go to work.

Where did Yang Mingrui go?

—Has he come home? !

Thinking of this, Wen Nan rushed into the office, the old doctor had already forgotten him, he couldn't care less, interrupted: "Director Li, do you know where Yang Mingrui has gone?"

The old doctor was stunned, and said: "Xiao Yang, he just said that he saw a familiar person, so he insisted on chasing him out to have a look."

The familiar person... who could it be?

It can't be him, Wen Nan thought.Otherwise they are bound to run into each other.

Yang Mingrui has a secret, this thought makes Wen Nan very uncomfortable. ?
