Chapter 13
Chapter 13
The thirteenth1 article of “The Bible of Love”:
Love requires not skill, but love. In fact, there’s no definite answer to every question, but if you want to continue loving him or her, you will always find an answer.
Liang Yesheng waited for Lu Ming for a while and received another phone call, this time from someone who he didn’t really want to speak to.
It was Wu Han, Liang Yesheng's former colleague at the Third Hospital.
"Busy?" Wu Han asked.
Liang Yesheng wasn't too busy, but he wasn't particularly free to chat with his former colleague, so he asked directly what was going on.
"I always feel that you are in a hurry to hang up on me." Wu Han smiled and said, "Your previous desk was moved for me to use, I found something in the drawer that you left behind, should I bring it over to you?"
As if he knew that Liang Yesheng would refuse, Wu Han added, "It's no trouble, I was going to drive past Blue Garden anyway, and I'll be there soon. Just open the door and I'll bring it up for you."
At this point, Liang Yesheng couldn't refuse any more, not to mention that he also just remembered what he had left behind, and it wasn't good to leave that in other people's hands.
"I'll come down and get it," Liang Yesheng said, "thanks."
Wu Han really called on the way here and arrived downstairs in just a few minutes. As he was handing the item to Liang Yesheng he said, "I almost forgot about it. It was in the car, and when my wife saw it, she said that it was carved so nicely, so it must be for a loved one, so I thought I'd better find time to bring it to you."
Wu Han said, "I only knew you were good at carving teeth before, but I didn't think you would use wax blocks to carve these. My wife complained to me for half a day, asking why I don't have skills like yours when I am also a dentist."
They practice the basic skills of carving teeth with wax blocks, but he never thought Liang Yesheng could use it to carve a lifelike rose.
There is still a bit of unfinished work, Liang Yeshneg originally intended to finish carving and then bring back to Lu Ming. Liang Yesheng took it and said thank you again.
But Wu Han was a little reluctant to hear it, "Don't be so polite, to be honest ...... I always feel that you left because of me."
Wu Han and Liang Yesheng entered the third hospital in the same year, and last year Wu Han had already been promoted as an associate chief physician. But in fact, it is very reasonable, Wu Han has strong abilities, is good at doing scientific research, and has published more articles than Liang Yesheng. But there’s another thing that the hospital would say. Wu Han's family originally runs a hospital, and his father and the vice president of the Third Hospital were classmates. But Wu Han had a mentor and is smart, so it is hard for him to be in a bad position.
Liang Yesheng did not care much, "There is no need to think so, it is my own problem."
Liang Yesheng's clinical ability is very strong, but his scientific research is relatively weak, so it is a little difficult to move up. At the same time, there was a Wu Han. He could always hear some whispers, some felt that it was unjust for him. Liang Yesheng does not care about these things, but there are always people who care for him, so Liang Yesheng didn’t like it.
At the same time, a private hospital wanted to poach him, so Liang Yesheng thought about it. Monetary relationships were the simplest and purest, not to mention that he really needed the money, so he quit his job and went there.
"Don't care about what other people say," Liang Yesheng advised Wu Han, "I'm fine now, I'll see you later when I have time."
Wu Han had just said okay when he heard another person's voice from behind him, "You’re thinking about meeting up with him next time?"
Wu Han turned around with some doubts and saw a young boy wearing an oversized clothing standing in the corner where there was no light, and he didn't know how long he had been standing there. Wu Han was being glared at angrily, and wondering how he had pissed off this stranger.
"Your brother?" Wu Han asked Liang Yesheng.
The boy seemed to get even angrier and came up to him immediately. Liang Yesheng was busy grabbing his arm and said to Wu Han, "You go first, I'll explain to you next time."
Not a brother, they just got divorced but are still sleeping together. No matter how he says it, it doesn’t sound quite reasonable.
"Next time? Liang Yesheng you fjsdlifreoifgren#&......" Lu Ming blurted out the expletive. But before he finished cursing, he was dragged away by Liang Yesheng, leaving Wu Han puzzled.
In the elevator, Liang Yesheng looked at Lu Ming, who was still breathing heavily, and asked, "What did you just hear?"
"Starting from when he said you quit because of him." Lu Ming stood in the corner of the elevator, wanting to be 800 meters away from Liang Yesheng, or else he couldn't resist the urge to fight with him.
"You didn’t hear anything before that?" Liang Yesheng asked as he recalled the conversation with Wu Han.
"If listened to one more sentence I ****!" Lu Ming was already aggrieved enough, he felt that Liang Yesheng was suspecting his innocence, he got angry and began to curse randomly, "I just happened to bump into you guys when I came back. How am I supposed to know beforehand that you guys were going to express your feelings and send eachother roses, fuck!"
It’s worse that Lu Ming didn’t hear the beginning of the conversation, Liang Yesheng said, "He is only my former colleague ......"
Lu Ming gritted his teeth, he was depressed beyond words. He saw the elevator arrive, quickly ran out to shield the words of Liang Yesheng, "It’s none of my business! We're divorced! You go send your plastic roses to him, damn it!"
The luggage packed the other day actually came in handy at this time, Lu Ming dragged the suitcase out and saw Liang Yesheng standing at the door.
"I'm not very good at explaining this," Liang Yesheng said, "that was a former colleague, who came to bring something to me. You sit down and calm down a bit before talking."
When facing Lu Ming, Liang Yesheng also always lost part of his emotional intelligence, he would say to Lu Ming,"sit down", but couldn’t think to say "don’t leave".
"I know." Surprisingly, Lu Ming said, "I know you are fine with him, you do not have to explain, it’s like I’m making a big deal out of nothing. You ...... let me go out to calm myself and blow off some steam."
There was a lot of sadness in Lu Ming's tone, which made Liang Yesheng's heart sink, and Lu Ming saw that he didn't speak again, so he headed out. Downstairs when the phone rang, Liang Yesheng sent a message: "Be safe."
Lu Ming's eyes were red again, cursing Liang Yesheng in his heart for hundreds of times, and he called Bing Bing, "Do you still have wine there?"
"Ming Ge, have you been too fussy lately?" Bing Bing couldn’t hold it back, "you wouldn’t drink when we were all drinking before, and you rushed to go back home, but now it is almost bedtime you come to find me to drink with you?"
"I'm looking for you," Lu Ming viciously, "Don’t forget that you are my adulterer."
Bing Bing, "......"
The adulterer finally accepted Lu Ming's arrival, after all, his rent for this month was paid with Lu Ming's help.
"So what are you depressed about?" Bing asked, "He wanted to explain to you, but you refused to listen. You know that nothing happened between them, so what are you doing now?"
"You simply do not understand," Lu Ming said, "Liang Yesheng and his colleague like each other, but unfortunately Liang Yesheng married, so Liang Yesheng will take the initiative to resign, to stay far away from his colleague. His colleague feels guilty, so Liang Yesheng comforted him, saying that it is his own problem."
"Isn’t that good? They no longer like each other."
"Good my ass!" Bing Bing's sluggishness makes Lu Ming even more furious, "Then I've become someone who destroys people's true love, right? Although he has a heart for others, he still didn’t cross the bottom line, so he’s basically faithful to the marriage. I want to fucking chop him up!"
At times like this, Bing decided not to blow Lu Ming's inexplicable self-confidence. He couldn't beat anyone in their generally weak company, let alone a difficult job like chopping up Liang Yesheng.
Because Lu Ming really looks a bit pathetic right now.
Lu Ming did not want to listen to Liang Yesheng's explanation, in fact, when you think about it, judging by Liang Yesheng's character, he would have been unlikely to do such things as cheating within marriage. But this point does not make Lu Ming happier, he only now realized that he is actually a person who requires perfection in his relationships. He even understood the woman who sat behind him that day — it wasn’t really because she bought an extra lipstick, but because the husband no longer loves her as much as he used to, even if it was just one more minute of hesitation.
And, and, Liang Yesheng and his colleague had the same occupation, the same education, they really fucking match, they even dressed as if they share the same closet. Unlike him, he and Liang Yesheng are in two worlds, two lines occasionally intersected to collide with sparks, but it wouldn’t last.
This makes Lu Ming feel that he is the one who should get out. They’re both doctors, they can communicate much better. What can he talk about? Music? Hilarious. But Liang Yesheng even prefers to listen to Chen Zi’s songs.
The reasoning makes sense, but Lu Ming just doesn't want to back out. It's really strange, they’re already separated in legal terms, but he now realized he doesn't want to back out at all.
The actual fact that Lu Ming is indeed gay, undoubtedly. But besides Liang Yesheng, he does not want to have this kind of relationship with any other man, such as Bing Bing who is sitting opposite him, he is going to vomit just thinking about it.
Oblivious to Lu Ming’s thoughts, Bing Bing was thinking, "How come there is more and more material for writing songs? Is the song title ‘I have a gay friend’ okay?"
1 The original text does not have articles 12 and 13, but the author posted them on weibo. She said that they will be in the published book and will be added to the online version, but as of today, the articles have not been added. So, I’m just assuming that they belong in chapters 12 and 13.
