Chen Yue was a little angry. She had been struggling with this matter for several days, tossing and turning, suffering endlessly.
So seeing Zhou Chen's calm attitude was really hard for her to accept.
"It seems that you don't love me that much. If you loved me very much, you would definitely not have this attitude. No matter you want me to stay or choose to have a foreign relationship with me, you will not have this attitude."
"well."
Zhou Chen sighed. From Chen Yue's attitude and tone, he already knew what choice she would make.
But as she said, she had been struggling for so long. She felt that she had been fighting in her heart for a long time without making a decision, and his calm attitude made her feel dissatisfied.
He knew what Chen Yue wanted to see.
I want to see him reluctant and sad, even like she said, leaving everything here behind and going to England with her for love;
Even if you don't go with her, you should still show enough sadness and reluctance, so that she will feel better.
"I have you in my heart. You don't have to doubt this. The reason why I have this attitude is because I have been a doctor for so long and I am used to seeing separation between life and death. I can even face life and death calmly.
Why can’t we face love calmly?”
"Honestly speaking, what do you think my attitude is?"
Chen Yue suddenly choked up. To be honest, she didn't know what kind of attitude she wanted from Zhou Chen, but she knew that Zhou Chen's calm face was not what she expected.
"Since you won't give up the opportunity to study abroad for me, why can't I choose to stay in Dongjiang? Besides, you are just studying abroad, and it doesn't mean you won't come back. Falling in a foreign country is very difficult, but as long as the relationship is firm, there is no difficulty.
Can’t overcome it?”
In fact, he really doesn't mind at all that Chen Yue wants to study abroad. In the eyes of others, two or three years may be a long time, but to him, it has long been accustomed to it.
It's just that Chen Yue took the initiative and made the request, which was already showing her attitude, wanting him to follow her footsteps and focus on her academic career.
But this is obviously impossible. He has his own mission to do. He and Chen Yue have feelings, but they are far from enough to give up his mission for her.
Chen Yue retorted: "I can't accept long-distance relationships, let alone foreign relationships. A lot of things can happen and change in a few years. It's really hard for me to accept this uncertain future."
"So, if I don't want to go abroad with you and you don't want to stay for me, what choice will you make?"
"I don't know, what choice do you want me to make?"
After asking a rhetorical question, neither Zhou Chen nor Chen Yue spoke anymore. In fact, they both knew in their hearts that if neither of them compromised, there would only be one result.
Chen Yue held her head in pain: "I don't know, I don't want to choose."
I don’t know, I don’t want to choose. When I say these words, I have actually made a choice.
Zhou Chen didn't speak, nor was he angry. After living for so many years, he had already looked past many things. Not everyone's love is hysterical. In fact, most people's love is rational and weighs the pros and cons.
We are all adults. Career and love, no matter who you choose, it is just a choice. There is no right or wrong.
Frankly speaking, if Chen Yue chooses love, then he will definitely be as steadfast as her. If Chen Yue chooses her own career, he will not blame her, but will feel regretful.
"I need time to calm down and think about our relationship."
After saying this, Chen Yue picked up her bag and left Zhou Chen's house.
"Is that the end?"
Zhou Chen sighed softly, Chen Yue will not change, and neither will he, so the result is destined.
There is reluctance in my heart, but more importantly, I am relieved. The two people have different opinions and have their own opinions. Unless one party makes a compromise, it will be difficult to move on.
He has experienced a lot of time and had many women. He has made compromises, and his woman has also made compromises, so they can accommodate each other and stay together until old age.
But this time was different. If it was about other things, for the sake of the two of them, he would be willing to compromise and take a step back.
But going abroad with her would conflict with his own mission, so it was impossible for him to compromise on such a major matter.
…………
During lunch time, Zhou Chen met Zhao Yuliang who was humming a little tune at the elevator door.
"Hey, Director Zhao, you are in a good mood. Is the head nurse recovering well?"
Zhao Yuliang smiled and said: "Yes, she is recovering well and will be discharged from the hospital in about two days."
"That's really congratulations."
"Ha ha."
Although the intrauterine intervention was successful, although it could not completely cure the disease, Zhao Yuliang and his wife were in a much better mood at this time than before.
"This first step has gone smoothly, but no one can predict what will happen in the future. What if, I say just in case, if there are any problems in the future, you must help me then."
As a doctor, Zhao Yuliang knows very well that he cannot get carried away and can think about the good things, but he must also be mentally prepared.
Zhou Chen is the top cardiac surgeon at Dongli Heart Center in the country. He is a cardiac surgeon himself, but he also recognizes Zhou Chen and considers himself inferior.
In the future, if his child needs treatment or something, Zhou Chen will definitely be a very reliable expert.
Zhou Chen assured: "It's absolutely no problem, as long as Director Zhao and the head nurse say a word, I'll be on call."
"Justice."
Zhao Yuliang gave a thumbs up, and then said: "By the way, I'm going to invite you all to dinner on Saturday night, and you have to come too."
"Saturday night, okay, I understand. If there are no special circumstances then, I will definitely go to support you."
Zhou Chen knew that Zhao Yuliang was going to treat everyone to a farewell drink in advance.
When their children are born in the future, they are destined to spend a lot of money. Although the salaries of doctors and head nurses in tertiary hospitals are not low, it is still quite stressful to support a child with congenital heart disease.
The most critical thing is time. He works as a deputy chief physician at Dongli Hospital. His work is irregular and he often has to work night shifts. There is no fixed rest time, so it is difficult to spend time with his son.
Both of them are in their forties, and the elderly at home are even older. It is not easy to take care of a child with congenital heart disease, and we cannot count on the elderly.
Neither time nor money could satisfy him, so for the sake of his children, he had to find another way.
Zhou Chen can understand him very well. As a good man with a sense of family responsibility, he will naturally put his family first.
In a blink of an eye, it's Saturday.
Zhao Yuliang just called some doctors from the heart center who were relatively close to him. Except for those who had to be on duty and couldn't come due to something else, only ten people ended up attending the appointment.
The place where Zhao Yuliang treated the guests was the Pizza Hut not far from the hospital, so everyone arrived quickly.
"Why are you gathering everyone here?"
Zhao Yuliang explained with a smile: "First of all, it's close to the hospital, so it's convenient for everyone to go back and work overtime."
This statement immediately made everyone laugh.
"Director Zhao, I thought you were doing this to save money."
"Nonsense, how can I save money? The things here are also very expensive, okay? This table will cost a lot of money."
After a few words of ridicule, Zhao Yuliang continued: "Secondly, let's get some luck. We must win. In recent times, I would like to thank you all for your concern and help to me and the head nurse."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Tianming interrupted.
"What are you doing? Are you so unscrupulous? Are there any outsiders?"
"It's just, it's just too polite and too sensational."
"Okay, okay, then I won't be polite. I'll keep it to myself. Our heart center is a warm family. Come on, I respect you all."
"Come, let's drink together, cheers."
"Everyone must have fun eating and drinking. Don't be polite to me."
Everyone is an acquaintance. Except for Zhou Chen, Fang Xiaoran and Lin Yi, who came relatively late, the others have all stayed in Dongli Hospital for many years. They looked down without looking up. Everyone was familiar with each other, so they sat together to eat together.
There is no pretentiousness.
After everyone ate and drank, Zhao Yuliang spoke again.
"Everyone, eat first, and I will announce something to you. Well, I have accepted the invitation from Dongmuer Clinic and decided to switch jobs there."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone here stopped caring about eating and drinking. They all looked at Zhao Yuliang with a forced smile on his face. They were all surprised, and the table fell silent instantly.
"What's your reaction?"
"Old Zhao, Dongmu is a private pediatric clinic. You are a surgeon and you just left a tertiary hospital?"
"Well, I know."
Lin Yi put down the fork in his hand and said, "If you go, there will be no surgery."
Zhao Yuliang was stunned for a moment, but then said in a solemn voice: "But I have time. Now, the head nurse and I are both in Dongli, and the time we spend together can't keep up with the time she spends meeting Wang Xu. But here we are."
Dongmu is different, I have enough time to take care of my wife and children, and the income, right, you all know; if I don’t have surgery, I won’t do it, it’s very tiring anyway, and I’m already
I like children, and when I get there, I will definitely be happy working."
Lin Yi said excitedly: "How can a surgeon be happy if he doesn't perform surgery?"
Zhao Yuliang sighed, but still said firmly: "For me now, being a good husband and a good father is more important than anything else."
Everyone was silent again, but Zhou Chen picked up the wine glass and touched it with Zhao Yuliang.
"Old Zhao, I support you and admire you. You are a good husband and will be a good father in the future. I respect you."
"Haha, look, Director Zhou still understands me. Look at those of you who are married. There is no unmarried person like Director Zhou who understands me. Director Zhou, come here, cheers."
Zhou Chen and Zhao Yuliang both drank it in one gulp.
"Now that Director Zhao has made a decision, let's bless him together. Let's all raise a toast to a good husband and a good father."
"Yes, yes, yes, let's respect Lao Zhao together."
"Here, cheers."
After the initial surprise, everyone can understand why Zhao Yuliang made this decision. It's not that he doesn't like surgery, it's just that for his family, his wife and children, he can only make this choice.
Especially when they learned that Zhao Yuliang would not leave immediately, but would leave after half a year, everyone felt less sad and reluctant to leave.
As we talked, it became lively again.
The meal lasted for more than an hour, and everyone left.
Zhou Chen didn't drive when he came. The car was still parked at the hospital. He had no intention of driving back to the hospital. His home was not far from here anyway, so he walked back alone.
I took the elevator to my floor, and then I saw Chen Yue standing at the door. Under the light, Chen Yue was standing against the wall at the door of his house. After seeing him, my eyes brightened a little.
"Why don't you go into the house?"
"I'm waiting for you. I came here today, yes, yes..."
I want to say something, but I can't.
Zhou Chen saw her embarrassment and came to the rescue: "If you have anything to say, come into the room and say it."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked into the house, and Chen Yue followed him into the house obediently.
I poured a glass of water for Chen Yue and the two of them sat down on the sofa.
"Whatever you want to say to me, you can say it now."
Chen Yue held the tea cup with both hands, but did not speak. It could be seen that her expression was still tangled.
This went on for a few minutes before she finally spoke.
"I have thought clearly about the admission to law school. I will not give up. I will study abroad. But I can't let you go, so I still want to invite you to go to the UK with me. We will stay there for two or three years.
When you want to come back, I can come back with you, okay?"
Looking at Chen Yue's expectant eyes, Zhou Chen's attitude was very determined.
"I'm sorry, I can't go abroad with you. I promised Teacher Cui to stay in Dongli. I also have my own tasks to complete in Dongli. I can't accompany you to study abroad, but if you want, I can wait for you.
return."
"Wait for me to come back?"
Chen Yue smiled sadly: "I said that I don't want to be in a foreign country. Two or three years is too long. A lot of things can happen. I don't know if I can survive such a long period of time in a foreign country. I
It’s also hard to accept that your loved one is not around.”
"I can understand, so if I don't go abroad with you, do you want to break up with me?"
Chen Yue didn't speak, and not speaking was equivalent to acquiescence.
"After all, in the end, the choice was left to me. This is not like you. You are very decisive and decisive in the workplace. Why do you become so indecisive when it comes to relationships?"
"Because I really can't let you go. I know very well that if I miss you, I will never find a better man than you in the future." Chen Yue said truthfully.
Zhou Chen did not deny that after living for so many years, he had had many women. He did not dare to say how good he was, but he was definitely better than most men.
No matter in terms of external conditions or financial aspects, he is not bad. In terms of emotional value and spiritual understanding, he is also very good. A woman who can follow him to the end will definitely be happy. He is still confident about this.
"I won't go abroad with you. Again, you don't have to feel entangled. Follow your heart. This is just a choice. Even if we are no longer together in the future, there is no need to make it difficult."
Chen Yue closed her eyes in disappointment. After a moment, she opened her eyes again, and her whole state changed drastically.
"It seems that none of us can convince the other. You don't want to compromise, and I don't want to compromise, and I don't want to fall in love with a foreign country, so let's just stay here."
"separate!"
Saying these two words, Chen Yue's whole body became relaxed. She was finally relieved after holding it in for a long time.
Zhou Chen showed a calm smile, met Chen Yue's eyes, and replied softly.
