Chapter 116

“Here we are.” Ding Li nodded his head and greeted Tang Junhe. Always active, and sometimes even off-kilter, he seemed a little reserved.

“This is Tangtang’s elder brother, Brother Xuan,” Mai Ze introduced at the right time, then patted Ding Li on the shoulder without hesitation, and winked at him.

“Fuck you,” Ding Li smiled and waved away the hand he patted on his shoulder, and then briefly shook hands with Yang Xuan, “Ding Li.”

When it was her turn to introduce Ying Hui, she opened her mouth first, looked at Yang Xuan and smiled and said, “Do I still need to introduce myself? Do you remember me, Yang Xuan?” Yang Xuan really didn’t remember himself, that scene would be a bit embarrassing.

But Yang Xuan nodded to save face, smiled and said: “Of course,” and then turned to Ding Li who was standing beside her, “This is…?”

“My boyfriend,” Ying Hui smiled, and turned to glance at Ding Li, “to be precise, he should be her fiancé.”

Meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land, both of them seemed quite upright, and Ying Hui showed no coyness, so the people who were present waiting to watch the show couldn’t stop booing.

Mai Ze pointed to the heads and introduced the names of the remaining people one by one, which means they know each other. Everyone sat down, a bunch of messy barbecue takeaways were ordered, and the bar was wrapped up. Mai Ze unpacked the takeout packages and called the bar owner and the resident singer on the stage: “Sister Deng, stop howling, come down together eat something!”

Several members of the band have been recording new albums in the recording studio for nearly a month. Under the eyes of the manager, they don’t touch spicy food, smoke or drink. They seem to be Buddhas. When they saw piles of barbecues, their eyes lit up. There was a green light, and like a hungry ghost, he rushed forward to grab food.

“I’m laughing, I’m laughing, birds have faded out of my mouth this month,” Mai Ze took out a few food boxes and took them to his college roommate, and sat next to Tang Junhe with a bunch of skewers, “How is it, Tang?” Doctor, did you publish the SCI for that paper last time?”

“Which one?” Tang Junhe asked while unpacking the pasta box. .

“Just the last article…” Mai Ze swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, adding oil and vinegar to the others, “Hey, let me tell you, the last time I sent Tang Tang home, he was so tall. He grabbed my steering wheel and insisted that I take him to the hospital to pick up his thesis, I really regret not taking a picture of it for Mr. Xue to see…”

“Where did I grab the steering wheel?” Tang Junhe interrupted him.

“You were too drunk at the time, so I don’t remember. Wasn’t brother Xuan there?” Mai Ze smiled, “You never mentioned it, but a brother suddenly appeared, which made me worry that you would be abducted. “Mai Ze reached out to pick up a bottle of red wine, stood up and poured wine into the glass in front of Yang Xuan, “He is very handsome, it doesn’t seem like a loss to kidnap… right Brother Xuan?” He also poured wine in front of him, took He picked up his cup and raised it in Yang Xuan’s direction.

Yang Xuan didn’t speak, just smiled, pinched the glass wall and touched him casually, then raised his head and drank the glass of wine to the bottom.

“Hey, that’s interesting.” Mai Ze also drank up the bottle of red wine, and stretched out his arms to pour Yang Xuan the wine. As soon as he finished pouring, he raised his head and said to himself, “Oh, here we come”, and then Standing up from the high stool, he didn’t forget to take a picture of Tang Junhe who was sitting beside him eating pasta with his head bowed.

Tang Junhe raised his head to look at him inexplicably, and saw Mai Ze take a few steps forward, and pulled a tall, thin man wearing a mask over.

The man took off his mask as he approached. The lights in the bar were flickering, and it could be seen that he was wearing inconspicuous makeup. “I just finished the audition, I’m sorry for being late.” The man didn’t put on airs.

“Ren Zekai, you acted in that, “The Endless Stream”, have you seen it?” Mai Ze intentionally patted Tang Junhe on the shoulder, “Have you seen Tang Tang?”

“I don’t have time to watch movies.” Tang Junhe put down the fork in his hand.

The boy named Ren Zekai also disappeared, went to the opposite side and sat down: “Mai Ze, don’t bury me,” said with a smile to Tang Junhe, “It’s just a thirty-sixth-line actor who doesn’t make it to the top, but “The Stream Never Ends” The filming is not bad, if you are interested in it later, you can look for it.”

Several members of the band over there were obviously more familiar with Ren Zekai, and greeted him across the table. Ren Zekai seemed to have a clear purpose, stretched his neck to say hello, and then turned his head to look at Tang Junhe with a smile: “Doctor Tang? Right? It looks familiar, have I seen you somewhere?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt that something was wrong. Mai Ze leaned against the edge of the table and secretly gave Ren Zekai a thumbs up. Tang Junhe paused for a moment, and Yang Xuan raised his eyes to look at him.

“Puji Hospital?” Tang Junhe calmed down and said, “If you have been to chest surgery.”

Mai Ze almost spit out his wine, laughed loudly and said, “Doctor Tang, you are too confused.”

Tang Junhe naturally understands the amorous feelings, but this amorous feelings is not suitable for understanding at this time and place, so he can only pretend to be stupid and continue to eat pasta with his head bowed. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a cigarette between his brother’s fingers, it was just handed over by Mai Ze, Yang Xuan didn’t smoke it, so he lightly tapped it twice on the table.

Ren Zekai also laughed and said, “It’s okay, it’s cute.” After speaking, he felt a gaze from the side on his face, with a sense of oppression, which was impossible to ignore. He turned his face to look at Yang Xuan, and met that scrutinizing gaze.

Ren Zekai came from a major in the Department of Acting, and had some in-depth research on human mood and expression, but at this moment, he could see some sense of territory from that gaze, even though Yang Xuan was looking at him. Afterwards, he smiled, as if deliberately restraining the oppressive feeling on his body, but Ren Zekai still felt a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Mai Ze followed Ren Zekai’s gaze, and suddenly remembered that he had to introduce other people, and immediately introduced that this was Tang Tang’s brother Yang Xuan, and that was Ding Li, Ying Hui, and Jiang Zhengshuo.

“What does Dr. Tang’s brother do?” Ren Zekai asked curiously.

“You were in the army before?” Mai Ze vaguely heard Tang Junhe mention it, and looked at Yang Xuan uncertainly.

“Yes.” Yang Xuan said briefly.

“It’s the special forces.” Tang Junhe raised his head at this moment and added calmly.

Everyone at the table immediately looked at Yang Xuan—special forces, the kind that only appeared in newspapers and TV. Ren Zekai made an exaggerated expression, then smiled and said, “No wonder.”

“No wonder why?” Mai Ze poured him wine.

“It’s okay, it looks quite special.” Ren Zekai clicked his tongue, “Actually, I really want to act in that kind of special forces movie, but unfortunately no one invited me.”

“Isn’t your character a hero of a literary movie?” Mai Ze laughed.

“Forget it.” Ren Zekai shook his head disapprovingly. After speaking, he remembered the purpose of his trip, looked at Tang Junhe and said, “Dr. Tang is outside his chest? I thought I could go to you for any illness in the future, but Your subject is really…”

“He is an eight-year clinical doctor. Do you think he can only see diseases outside the chest?” Mai Ze deliberately created opportunities for him, “Heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, as long as you have growths on your body, he can see them. Come, add a WeChat , let Dr. Tang give you Puji VIP treatment in the future.”

“Really?” Ren Zekai took out his phone from his pocket, brought up the interface for adding friends, and said with a smile, “Puji’s VIP treatment?”

“Doctor Tang has the final say,” Mai Ze looked at Tang Junhe and smiled, “Can I give it?”

Tang Junhe thought for a while and said, “Puji treats all patients equally.”

It was said that Mai Ze almost choked on the food in his mouth and coughed several times. Tang Junhe heard Yang Xuan laugh a few times, then raised his arm, put it on his shoulder naturally, and rubbed it his hair.

“It’s over, it’s over, Dr. Tang is stupid for doing surgery,” Mai Ze finally stopped coughing, drank a saliva and said, “Hurry up, let’s play bridge after adding.”

In front of other people, Tang Junhe directly slapped Mai Ze’s face. He touched his trouser pocket, but he couldn’t find his mobile phone. Then he remembered that when he knelt down to tie his shoelaces, he handed the mobile phone to Yang Xuan, let him hold it for himself.

“Brother.” Tang Junhe turned his head and called out in a low voice.

Yang Xuan stretched out his other hand. He took two mobile phones, overlapping each other, with the same style and color. Tang Junhe took the upper one as a matter of course, but he unlocked it with his fingerprints, only to find that it was not there. Not the interface of my mobile phone.

He turned his head to look at Yang Xuan, raised the interface of the phone a little, and wanted Yang Xuan to see it and switch the two phones, but Yang Xuan just glanced down, and then raised his eyebrows.

Seeing that he didn’t intend to switch over, Tang Junhe bit the bullet and called up the software interface, adding Ren Zekai.

The waiter came to clean up the mess on the table, and Mai Ze invited several people to come and play bridge together. There are not many young people playing bridge, but it has become a regular item in their gatherings since a few years ago. The reason is that Mai Ze found a girlfriend who is a bridge world champion. Later, the girlfriend broke up, but the entertainment project remained.

There are four people in a game, and the loser is fined with alcohol. Speaking of which, the ultimate goal is to drink.

“Ren Zekai, don’t you know it?” Mai Ze spared no effort to create opportunities for the two of them, “Tangtang, you two should be in a team.”

Just as Tang Junhe was about to say “My brother doesn’t know it either”, he heard Yang Xuan calmly say “I don’t know it either”.

“Huh?” Mai Ze was stunned, “Brother Xuan, I’m ready with you.”

“Why are you grouped like this?” Yang Xuan smiled, looked at Mai Ze and asked.

“Ah, that…” Mai Ze was a little speechless, he had always played the role of the organizer in the party, but when Yang Xuan spoke, although he didn’t mean to be aggressive, it made him a little uncertain.

“Which of you two is stronger?” Yang Xuanruo asked casually.

Mai Ze and Tang Junhe spoke at the same time.

— “On par,” Maizer said.

— “Me.” Tang Junhe said.

“Mai Ze, are you ashamed?” Ding Li smiled and dismantled Mai Ze, “It’s not the same, you have the nerve to say it!”

“It’s really on par!” Mai Ze said loudly, but then he lowered his tone with guilt, “Well, it’s true that Tangtang is better…”

“To be fair,” Yang Xuan put his hand on Tang Junhe’s shoulder, turned his face, and lowered his head slightly to look at Tang Junhe, “You choose yourself.”

“I’ll be with you.” Tang Junhe looked at Yang Xuan and said.

“Okay.” Ren Zekai smiled.

Mai Ze felt that he didn’t understand Tang Junhe, and he thought from the bottom of his heart that Ren Zekai was a reliable person, good-looking, well-mannered, and never put on airs like the insiders. However, Tang Junhe didn’t even look at it, and what he said was resignation.

People can’t be stuck in the first relationship for a lifetime, can they? Mai Ze felt that he needed to find time to talk to Tang Junhe.

At the same time, Tang Junhe was crossing the phone, drawing circles on the screen with his fingers, explaining the bridge rules to Yang Xuan, maybe because the bar was too noisy, the two stood very close, Yang Xuan lowered his head , occasionally click on the screen, say a word or two, and seem to listen very seriously.

Mai Ze glanced at the scene, and he felt that there was too much intimacy between the two, and this kind of intimacy was not common between adult brothers. In particular, he had never seen Tang Junhe like this. He let go of all the alienation and defenses, and took the initiative to get close to a certain person. He even seemed to talk a lot more than before. This is Tang Junhe who he has never seen before.

If he didn’t know the brotherhood between them, he would think they were lovers, this thought crossed Mai Ze’s mind. But then he came back to his senses and felt that he was definitely thinking too much.

After playing three rounds, several people won or lost, and almost all of them drank alcohol. In the third round, Tang Junhe was unlucky, and he was unable to recover even after exhausting his skills. When he lost, Mai Ze poured him a full glass of red wine, saying that Dr. Tang can drink quite a lot, and he won’t blink his eyes after drinking it one time.

Tang Junhe was a little hesitant to drink it, because Yang Xuan didn’t like him drinking. Just as he was holding the cup, the mobile phone on the table vibrated violently.

The caller ID was Corey’s call, and when he picked it up, the nurse over there hurriedly said, “Doctor Tang, what are you doing now? Director Xue wants you to come here quickly!”

“I’ll go right away,” Tang Junhe immediately let go of the hand holding the cup, and got up from his seat, “What happened?”

“Director Xue’s friend was stabbed in the lungs, and the ambulance is coming here.”

After hanging up the phone, Mai Ze looked up and asked, “Going to the hospital again? I’m not on duty today, why is there still surgery?”

“Director Xue’s friend has an accident,” Tang Junhe pulled out the taxi app while speaking, “I have to go there quickly.” Although he is not on duty today, he can’t just ignore Xue Yuanshan’s matter. Xue Yuanshan is his teacher , has the kindness to know him, and he also saved Yang Xuan.

“I’ll go with you.” Yang Xuan put the cards in his hand on the table and stood up.

“But it’s too late to call a substitute driver.” Tang Junhe said. Yang Xuan drank alcohol and was unable to drive. No one expected that he would be called to the hospital suddenly.

“Let’s take a taxi first. I’ll talk about it when I get back. Have you arrived yet?”

“It’s calling.” Tang Junhe looked at the screen and said.

Ying Hui raised her head at this moment, looked at them and said, “I didn’t drink, I’ll take you there.”
