The second day after Lu Zhen returned to Beicheng, Lu Jian's running around finally came to fruition, and the hospital agreed to let the family and the patient meet.
However, the hospital also made a request: only let the elder brother change into the isolation suit to meet Lu Yan. Lu Jian and Meng Zhining are a little older and their resistance has weakened, so they are not suitable to go to the isolation building again.
On the morning of departure, Lu Zhen sent Shen Kuo a text message: "I'll go there first, and the place is in the isolation area of the Fourth Building of the People's Hospital."
Shen Kuo: "It's already here."
Lu Zhen got in the car, saw Shen Kuo's text message, and said to herself that you are quite active, if I don't send you a message, then you are not blind for nothing!
Lu Zhen got into Meng Zhining's car, and along the way, Meng Zhining kept nagging, telling Lu Zhen, after seeing her sister, don't cry and make it look like parting, increase her nervousness, and encourage her, you know
Lu Zhen looked out of the window worriedly, completely unable to listen to Meng Zhining's words.
Now the streets and alleys of Beicheng are being disinfected with sprinklers, and free isatis root water tanks are placed at the entrance of the pharmacy. Everyone on the street is wearing a mask and looking at other people around them defensively, making the atmosphere tense .
The news of the death of patients was reported on TV every day, and Lu Zhen's heart was fluctuating, and she was extremely nervous.
After arriving at the People's Hospital, Lu Zhen called Shen Kuo and asked, "Where are you?"
"Turn back."
Lu Zhen turned her head and saw that in the garden of the building opposite, the boy was standing on the flower stand, looking at him expressionlessly.
He was wearing a gray down jacket with the zipper open, and a thin cashmere sweater inside.
The slender neck has clear veins, and the skin becomes paler in the cold winter wind.
Few people can wear a bloated down jacket so handsomely. Sometimes, Lu Zhen has to admit that Shen Kuo is quite handsome, a little bit more handsome than him.
"when did you come?"
Shen Kuo raised his head and looked at the isolation building in front of him from a distance, his eyes were dark—
"last night."
"I'll go! Could it be that you came over after getting off the plane last night, and stayed here all night..."
Shen Kuo didn't answer, but still stared at the building directly in front of him: "Which floor is she on?"
"According to the doctor, it seems to be on the seventh floor, but you can't see it, the isolation room has no windows."
Shen Kuo knew he couldn't see it, but he came over as soon as he got off the plane last night.
Even if he can't see her, but he can get closer to her, and his heart can always be a little more stable.
"After you go in, you tell her..."
"I won't convey anything for you."
Lu Zhen flatly rejected Shen Kuo: "It was your decision to separate at the beginning. My girl has been sad for a long time, and now she has come out with great difficulty and is living a very good and happy life. I will not let you disturb her anymore."
Shen Kuo's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and finally he said: "Tell her, don't be afraid, there were many stars in the sky last night..."
There are many stars, and me, and I'm here with you.
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhen hung up the phone, looked at him angrily, and gave him the middle finger.
Damn, he's so good at flirting, no wonder his daughter is still determined and never forgetting after so long.
What a woe.
Lu Zhen followed the doctors and nurses to the disinfection room in the isolation area, changed into the protective clothing that was tightly wrapped like in a biochemical movie, and then entered the patient room that was isolated layer by layer.
Outside the ward, Lu Zhen finally saw Lu Yan.
Lu Yan was wearing a large patient sweater with horizontal bars, and was sitting pitifully on the hospital bed with her knees hugged.
Her nose was red, her eyes were wet, she looked like she had just cried, like a frightened little animal.
Lu Zhen's internal organs were twisted together, and he excitedly shouted to the surrounding doctors: "Aren't you sick! Why are you wearing so little! How can you do so little!"
The doctor explained: "There is heating, so it won't be cold."
Lu Zhen excitedly patted the glass to isolate the window, and shouted to Lu Yan: "Baby, Dad is here! Don't be afraid!"
Seeing Lu Zhen, Lu Yan's eyes glowed, she jumped out of bed, ran to the window, touched the glass layer with her hand, and shouted: "Are you crazy! How come you come to such a place!"
"I'll come to see you! Don't be afraid, the doctor said there are still a few tests to do, and you can leave after all the tests are done! Don't be afraid, you'll be fine."
"Is everything okay at home?"
"Mom and dad are fine, just worried about you. Mom hasn't even gone to the company these days."
"I heard that several cases have also been found in Nancheng."
"Yeah, we're all closed."
Lu Yan hesitated for a few seconds, and finally asked: "Then... is he okay? He's not sick, is he coughing or something?"
"Who is it?"
Lu Yan hesitated, stirred the corners of her clothes with her hands, and finally whispered his name: "Shen Kuo."
"Ask him what he does."
"Just... just ask."
Shen Kuo curled his lips and said angrily, "Don't worry about him, even if the end of the world comes, that guy will definitely be the last one to die, he's a smart guy."
Knowing that Shen Kuo should be fine, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, "Don't let him know about my hospitalization."
"why?"
"No reason."
Lu Yan sat on the cold little bench, hugged her thin arms, and seemed a little depressed: "Don't let him know."
Lu Zhen swallowed, resisting the desire to tell her that the guy was downstairs, and said, "Maybe he doesn't want to know at all."
Lu Yan's expression became even more disappointed, she rubbed her eyes, and the area around her eyes turned red.
"Hey, you... Let me just say it casually, why are you crying?"
"I didn't cry."
Lu Yan turned her back stubbornly, and took a deep breath: "I won't cry whoever is crying. You are right, people may not want to know at all, but in case, in case my test results come out, what is really wrong? , you...you tell Shen Kuo for me, you tell him..."
"I won't help you tell him anything." Lu Zhen resolutely refused again, not forgetting to curse: "Stupid."
Lu Yan finally cried aloud: "You help me tell him..."
She was sobbing intermittently, and the more she thought about it, the more she cried, and the front of her breast was wet.
"I said that Lu Yan is not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I will never meet someone like him again in this life, I am afraid that I will never have another chance... I will never have the chance to see him for the last time, I will never have the chance to tell him, but I will never forget it. .. "
The girl was already sobbing.
"I'm not going to tell you this for you, if you want to say it...you say it yourself."
Lu Zhen put the phone next to the walkie-talkie on the glass window: "The call is already connected, you can tell him yourself."
Lu Yan raised her head suddenly, and rushed to block the round hole of the walkie-talkie: "No! I won't talk to him, hang up now! Ah! Hang up, hang up!"
Lu Zhen shrugged: "It's too late."
The phone has already been connected.
"Lu Yan."
On the phone, the boy's slightly hoarse voice, accompanied by the sound of the electric current, seemed even deeper.
Lu Yan covered her mouth and stood there stupidly.
The two of them hadn't spoken for almost half a year, and Lu Yan was a little at a loss when she first heard his voice.
His voice has changed a bit, it has become... a bit unlike him, unlike the clear and bright boy back then.
"Lu Yan, I'm here."
His breathing was heavy, and he seemed to use his strength to speak: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Lu Yan's hand touched the transparent window, caressing the phone on the opposite side of the glass.
"You... where are you?"
"downstairs."
"A bare little garden with all the branches and leaves in the garden gone," he said.
Lu Yan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, and asked him, "The south... Are the leaves in the south very lush?"
"Yes, in winter in the south, the leaves are evergreen. Do you want to see it?"
"Can I see it?"
"When you get better, I'll take you to see it."
"If I don't get well, if..."
Shen Kuo interrupted the girl's sobs and said, "Lu Yan, if you don't get better, then I won't get better either."
Lu Yan's breathing stopped suddenly.
"If you don't get better, Shen Kuo will never get better in his life."
She choked, nodded desperately, nodded desperately, but couldn't say a word anymore.
"Lu Yan, don't let me... be alone from now on, okay?"
"Okay." She wiped away her tears: "I won't leave you alone, I will accompany you."
Accompany you for the rest of your life.
Finally, the doctor came over and urged: "It's almost time, and the patient needs to rest."
Lu Zhen nodded, hung up the phone, and said to Lu Yan, "Okay, don't cry."
"Stop crying." Lu Yan wiped her face with her sleeve, and put out a very ugly smile: "He's back."
Lu Zhen said helplessly: "Yeah, I'm back, how could I not come back, a guy who eats steamed buns in the cafeteria all day long and gets free soup, and the 900 air ticket cost him so much that he didn't even blink his eyes."
Lu Yan reacted for a moment, and murmured: "Fool."
"He's downstairs right now. He probably came over as soon as he got off the plane last night, and stood downstairs all night."
Seeing the distressed look of the little girl, Lu Zhen paused, and finally stopped talking.
The doctor started urging her again, and Lu Zhen reluctantly lay down in front of the fully isolated French windows, and said to her, "Don't be afraid, Mom and Dad are trying to find a way, everything will be fine!"
"You... don't take the risk to see me." Lu Yan said eagerly: "I'm not afraid anymore, don't worry about me, I will cooperate with the doctor for a good examination."
…
Walking out of the isolation building, Lu Zhen glanced at the flower bed, and Shen Kuo was still standing there in a daze, and did not leave.
He finally couldn't bear it, and shouted at him from a distance: "Hey, you are going to stick there for a few days."
Shen Kuo ignored him, bowed his head and lit a cigarette.
Lu Zhen shouted again: "Go back quickly, it's useless for you to stand there, go home and wait for the news."
Shen Kuo picked up a gravel and threw it at him: "Noisy."
"Wow, you don't know good people!" Lu Zhen hurriedly dodged away.
If Lu Yan didn't care about him so much, Lu Zhen wouldn't bother to care about him.
"Have you eaten yet? I'll go and buy you a box lunch."
Shen Kuo put down the cigarette butt, looked up at him, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth stubbled with stubble: "Are you caring about me?"
"What, I care about you?" Lu Zhen retorted excitedly, "I'm being passionate!"
Shen Kuo smiled lightly and didn't bother to talk to him.
Lu Zhen came to the cafeteria, bought a box of lunch, and told the chef to put more meat, and asked for twice-cooked meat.
After packing, he walked to Shen Kuo's side, handed the lunch box to him, and said angrily, "Don't starve to death, you are starving to death, Lu Yan asked me if I wanted someone, where can I find it."
Shen Kuo took the lunch box and murmured calmly: "Thank you."
Lu Zhen was really not used to Shen Kuo speaking so softly, he groaned and said, "Don't think too much, I, I still hate you very much, if it's not for Xiaoyan's sake, I wouldn't be bothered... I I'm too lazy to talk to you!"
Shen Kuo waited patiently for him to finish his defense, and handed him half of the cigarette butt in his hand: "Please smoke."
Lu Zhen: ...
A week later, all aspects of Lu Yan's inspection indicators returned to normal, her cold also recovered, and she did not suffer from the terrible SARS, so she was finally released home.
The counselors of Lu Zhen and Shen Kuo gave them an ultimatum to leave school without any reason, requiring them to return to school within one day, otherwise they will never come back.
After coming out, Lu Yan didn't take the initiative to contact Shen Kuo, and of course Shen Kuo didn't contact her either.
Both of them tacitly didn't mention what happened that day, as if it never happened.
After Shen Kuo returned to school, he began intense final review. He also had to get a scholarship for the second year, and use the scholarship to offset tuition fees.
And Lu Yan also started the review of the final sprint stage of the third year of high school.
Both of them feel a little close to their hometown, and they hide this heart that they dare not meet each other.
Lu Yan is indeed too busy, she has no way to separate her mind to consider the matter of relationship now, Meng Zhining once talked to her, smart girls will not stumble at such a time.
Shi Ya, for example, does not belong to the category of smart girls, all she has is the cleverness Shi Xuexian taught her.
She put all her thoughts on her love affair. After Shi Xuexian found out the family background of her boyfriend Wu Tianhan, she changed her attitude of resolute opposition in the past and fully supported her daughter's love affair.
Wu Tianhan's family is well-off, although he can't compare with the Lu family, but looking at Beicheng, he can be regarded as famous.
Although, Shi Xuexian has also inquired that Wu Tianhan's character is indeed not very good, but he is still young, so he should be more stable when he grows up.
Shi Xuexian began to teach Shi Ya her own "husband control experience", so that she must grasp Wu Tianhan's boyfriend no matter what. With her current situation, if she misses Wu Tianhan, in the future if she wants to find a husband with such a good family background, she will have to Difficult.
So Shi Ya pondered all day about how to dress up and how to flatter her, and the result was... her grades plummeted.
Shi Ya's head teacher would call Shi Xuexian every now and then. Shi Xuexian was playing mahjong and perfunctory, but finally got impatient and scolded the head teacher, telling him not to ruin her daughter's good future.
The head teacher sighed helplessly, and after hanging up the phone, he turned around and saw Lu Yan sitting in the classroom surrounded by cold wind, writing hard...
So sometimes, people's fate is not predetermined by birth. When you complain about yourself and others, those better people, those you envy and envy, you can no longer see him.
…
During the winter vacation, Lu Yan received a text message from Shen Kuo—
"Lu Yan, I will go to the United States with my teacher to attend a seminar on information technology during the winter vacation. The return date is yet to be determined. Everything is fine. Don't worry about it."
Under the desk lamp, Lu Yan looked at the text message repeatedly, and read the content of the text message, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Who missed him.
During the winter vacation, Lu Zhen returned home with bags of special products, including cigarettes for her father and cosmetics for her mother, but most of them were beautiful dresses and shoes for Lu Yan.
At that time, the reform and opening up was only ten years old. After all, the south was ahead of the trend of the times and at the same time constrained by the underdevelopment of the Internet. Whether it was new gadgets or trends, it was always more modern and open than the north.
Lu Zhen has recently developed a strong interest in online shopping. To be precise, she has developed a strong interest in shopping.
Lu Yan also knew that when her father was in business, he was among the first group of people to do online shopping. He made his fortune from ordering cosmetics and skin care products, and then developed a website to do online operations.
Lu Yan supported his father's "career", of course, it was only moral support, she firmly disagreed with his father's "experiment" on her face.
After carefully studying the dressing and makeup of the southern girls, Lu Zhen wanted to take care of his mother Meng Zhining.
At noon that day, he casually wandered into Meng Zhining's office. Meng Zhining was lying on his back on the sofa taking a nap, one of his high-heeled shoes was kicked onto the table, and the other fell under the sofa.
Lu Zhen sneaked into the office, put his mother's high-heeled shoes back, secretly took out a powder puff from her bag, and took advantage of Meng Zhining's deep sleep, secretly put a pile of plateau red on her mother's face.
Meng Zhining sleeps in the unshakable type, especially heavy.
Later, Meng Zhining went to the board meeting with these two lumps of plateau red and greasy sausage mouth, and met an important foreign client in the afternoon.
When Meng Zhining noticed that the customer's expression was not right, he picked up the makeup mirror and looked at it, and his expression changed instantly.
That night, Lu Zhen was almost hanged and beaten by the irascible female president Meng Zhining who took off her hands and hanged herself on an electric fan.
Before Lu Zhen had learned enough lessons, she was ready to do an experiment on Lu Yan's face. Lu Yan closed the door with a "slap", shutting the poor man out.
"Baby, try it, you will never be disappointed!"
"Southern girls all make up like this!"
"It's called 'Hong Kong style', it's the latest makeup look."
…
"Whatever he is, don't even think about it, I'm not your test subject! Besides, I can do makeup myself!"
"Try it, baby."
"If you want to try, go to my mother! I won't do it!"
Lu Zhen was really thinking about his career, so he really found Jian Yao.
When he hemmed and hawed to explain why he came, and then took out all kinds of powder plates and put them in front of Jian Yao, Jian Yao was sitting by the swing outside the bar, cleaning her guitar, and welcoming the next game show.
"Really, Lu Zhen, I can't see that you still have this ambition." While tuning the guitar, Jian Yao said, "How many women have you put on makeup?"
"No, it's just my mother." Lu Zhen rubbed the back of her head embarrassedly: "Even Lu Yan won't let me do it."
"Okay, then help me with it, anyway, I'm going to play soon."
For Jian Yao's makeup, Lu Zhen was of course very careful and careful. First, she applied the base makeup, and then drew on the eyebrows, eye shadow and lipstick...
He could even feel Jian Yao's soft and gentle breathing, patted on his face, like a light wind.
He didn't dare to breathe hard, so he kept restraining himself.
After working on her face for half an hour, it was finally done.
Lu Zhen tremblingly handed the mirror to Jian Yao, and looked at her anxiously: "What, how is it?"
Jian Yao stared at the completely out-of-shape self in the mirror for a while, then said calmly: "It's okay."
"real?"
"Um."
"Really, don't lie to me, is it really okay!"
"Are you annoying or not, how many times do you want me to tell you?"
Lu Zhen, who was recognized, immediately had a confident light in his eyes, sat down and began to talk to Jian Yao about his grand blueprint—
"I think most girls seldom wear makeup when going out, and the most important thing is that they don't know how to wear makeup at all. They think that they only wear makeup when they are on stage, so the cosmetics market has been calm. In fact, I don't think it should be like this. You should also wear makeup every day!"
Jian Yao smiled and listened patiently to his story.
Because of what he likes and dreams, Lu Zhen seems to be shining, and he is... extraordinarily handsome.
The attractiveness of a man can only be reflected in three aspects, one is his appearance and temperament, the other is his character, and the third is his career.
There are very few men in this world who have both.
Lu Zhen has it all, at least, in Jian Yao's mind, he has it all.
"You will succeed." She encouraged him: "The makeup technique is pretty good."
Lu Zhen nodded vigorously and grabbed her hand excitedly: "Thank you!"
Jian Yao's heart skipped a beat, she immediately retracted her hand, turned her head away, and said unnaturally: "If you have something to say, don't talk about it."
Lu Zhen said embarrassedly: "Then... I won't bother you anymore."
Jian Yao continued to tune the strings coldly, but ignored him. Lu Zhen stood up, hesitated for a moment, and left slowly.
Twenty minutes later, the performance started, and Jian Yao walked onto the stage with a guitar.
Seeing her, the audience and the teenagers in the band almost burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, Mr. Jian, how hard do you think about putting on the stage makeup of this kind of kindergarten kid."
"You still have beauty spots, what kind of plane are you doing hahaha!"
"My god, why can't you think about it at night and it's scary."
…
Jian Yao was naturally not to be outdone, and retorted: "Do you want to watch me or listen to music? If you want to listen to music, you should listen to it quietly, and if you don't listen, you can leave. My mother is still waiting for you!"
The boys laughed less.
Jian Yao started to sing, and in the melodious and moving tune, I could vaguely hear the low laughter of the boys in the crowd.
But the girl on the stage didn't seem to care, she was free and easy, as long as she liked, she never cared about other people's eyes.
But she never expected that Lu Zhen would not leave at all.
He was alone in the shadow of the corner of the bar, watching her on the stage wearing his makeup, listening to the ridicule and sarcasm of the guys around...
Lu Zhen's hands clenched into fists, and his whole body trembled slightly because of the force.
Jian Yao never knew that at this moment, she became the only moonlight in his eyes.
Since then, Lu Zhen has dedicated her life's bravery and loyalty to her.
