Chapter 179 Something I Have Never Seen
Gu Wan was starting a fire. To be honest, she actually knew how to make a fire, but she was not very skilled at starting a fire.
If she hadn't been concerned about the person outside, she would have definitely used a lighter.
That’s right, the new space contained everything she had seen and not seen in her previous life.
Another match went out, and the fire on the match in the stove began to shake, as if it would go out at any moment. Gu Wan's heart began to tighten.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind her, holding a stick and poking the stove twice. "To make a fire, whether it is to start a fire or to burn the fire, air is needed. The kindling matches cannot be placed so close together. There must be space underneath."
The warm and moist breath sprayed on Gu Wan's ears and cheeks, making her breath stop and her whole body feel a little dizzy.
She didn't dare to move, because at this time, Zhao Congyi was standing behind her, one hand on her arm, fiddling with the firewood in the stove.
His face was right next to hers, as if they were about to touch each other at any moment.
"Do you understand?"
The fire in the stove had grown bigger without him noticing. He originally looked into the stove, but when he saw the fire starting, he turned to look at Gu Wan and started asking.
Gu Wan heard the voice and thought he had backed off, so she turned around and said, "I..." With her mouth slightly open and her eyes wide open, their noses touched. Zhao Congyi curled his fingers and looked at Gu Wan with burning eyes, with no intention of backing off.
Gu Wan just felt her mouth was very dry, and the fire burning behind her made her palms sweaty.
After a long time, he hurriedly turned his head away and pretended to stand up, but perhaps because he had been squatting for too long, he was a little unstable when he stood up.
Fortunately, he held her. Gu Wan suddenly felt the whole kitchen was very hot and she wanted to go out.
But when she saw Zhao facing her red and swollen face from the side, with the slap mark clearly visible, she could not move.
Forget it. After all, Dr. Zhao was the one who got beaten. He promised to boil an egg and he can’t go back on his word.
It was just an accident, an accident. I was overthinking it. Don’t overthink it! Don’t overthink it!
She tried to convince herself, suppressed the restless thoughts in her heart, and whispered:
"I, I'll boil eggs for you."
"Okay, I'll help you light the fire."
Gu Wan really wanted to say no, but her fire-making skills were not very good, so it would be better to finish cooking earlier.
Gu Wan, who turned around to get eggs from the cupboard, didn't know that there was a storm in the pair of eyes behind her, which seemed to suck her in.
The moment before she turned around, she quickly lowered her head to look at the fire, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Gu Wan placed the small iron pot on top. It had been washed and filled with water when she first came in. Now she could just wash the eggs and put them directly in.
She cooked a few more on purpose, thinking that she would give them to Zhao Congyi to eat on the way when he left.
Thinking of this, I thought of the rice again.
He lowered his head to wipe something and said casually:
"By the way, how much is the rice? I'll give it to you. Don't forget it later." She felt that it was easy to forget things in front of him.
Zhao Congyi thought for a while, as if recalling something. Gu Wan noticed it out of the corner of her eye but did not disturb him.
I just thought that he exchanged the rice with someone else, so I was calculating how much he spent in total.
Zhao Congyi was not calculating the total amount of money spent. He was just having a severe toothache. Not to mention that he didn't want Gu Wan's money before.
Now that he has made up his mind to kidnap someone, he is naturally even more reluctant to accept the offer.
Every time before, he had no other choice. He was afraid that Gu Wan would be more wary and stay away from him, so he took it back because he had no other choice.
If I accept it now, how can I find an excuse?
He sighed deeply, and when he caught a glimpse of Gu Wan's calm appearance from the corner of his eye, most of his anger dissipated.
"Actually, this time I came here, in addition to bringing you rice, I also have another thing I want to find you for."
Gu Wan looked up and looked at him in surprise, waiting for him to continue.
"I told you before how I got here, right?" He looked at Gu Wan. Gu Wan was dazed for a moment and quickly nodded.
"Someone reported my parents before, so they were demoted. In order not to affect me, they published an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with me."
Having said this, he was filled with an inextricable melancholy and sadness, and then he continued talking to himself.
"My grandfather arranged for me to come to Nanxi City Hospital in order to protect me and so that I could continue to be a doctor."
"But now those people still don't seem to be planning to let me go, so I may not be able to be a doctor by then. Even if I become a doctor, the things in my hands will definitely be searched and taken away."
Gu Wan also fell silent.
"Are Dr. Zhao's parents also doctors?"
Zhao Congyi didn't expect her to ask this, but she was willing to understand himself, which was also a good start.
"Yes, they are all very famous military doctors. If nothing unexpected happened, I would have been a military doctor too!"
Speaking of this, his voice was filled with nostalgia and complex emotions.
"Then why do you continue to be a doctor?"
This was the first time that Gu Wan asked him this question so directly, as if she was asking the other two people through him.
Before, every time my parents saw me, they always complained about how much they owed me, but when the hospital called, they still left me without hesitation.
So she really wanted to know, why did they insist on doing so when they clearly had all kinds of reasons to give up?
When Zhao Cong heard her serious tone, he had some guesses in his mind, but he still pretended not to notice and answered his question.
“When my parents were reported, I also asked myself this question, and I even decided to give up.
But now that I have become a doctor, I just can't really sit back and accept the fact that I can clearly cure diseases and save lives, and can clearly relieve people's pain, but for other reasons, I give up and tie my own hands.
My hands and my brain won't allow me to do that." He smiled self-deprecatingly, but the light in his eyes was frighteningly bright.
“Now if you ask me why I want to be a doctor, I don’t know. Being a doctor will lead to a lot of misunderstandings, even medical disputes, and even the risk of infection. There are many more. But when I can heal even one person with what I have in my mind, all the injustices or sufferings in the past will be insignificant.
Gu Wan, I am like water. I want to irrigate the farmland and save those who need me. I think this is probably the value of my existence and the meaning of my persistence. "
"If, if you get married in the future, and you have children and a family, will you blame yourself and feel sad because you can't balance your work? Or, which is more important, family or work?"
