On the way back, Nan Xiangwan made a detailed study plan for Lin Xiaoran, from the skills of memorizing vocabulary to the tasks that should be completed every day, from what kind of reading materials to read to the strategies for doing the questions in the examination room, Nan Xiangwan made every detail, Know everything.
She also encouraged Lin Xiaoran to practice oral English more, "Don't think that oral English is not important if you don't take the oral English test in the college entrance examination. I can still write a composition and become a master.”
Nan Xiangwan started talking when she got in the car, and she talked almost all the way. Her throat was a little hoarse from coughing, but now that she talked so much, it seemed to be getting worse.
The bus was still two stops away from No.3 Middle School, but Lin Xiaoran suddenly said to Nan Xiangwan, "Get off the bus."
"Why? Haven't arrived at the station yet."
Before Nan Xiangwan could react, Lin Xiaoran had already dragged her down.
He stopped in front of a beverage store and bought two cups of milk tea, "Hey, the second cup is half price. Every time I pass by, I want to buy it, but I think it's too much of a disadvantage to buy just one cup. Today, I can finally take advantage of it."
"Heh..." Nan Xiangwan sneered, plugged in a straw and took a sip. To be honest, apart from saccharin, it was saccharin. There was really nothing to drink.
Lin Xiaoran looked at her and smiled, expectantly, "How is it?"
"..."
Forget it, it's hard to give a good review.
"It's delicious." Nan Xiangwan said expressionlessly.
Lin Xiaoran's smile deepened, and he said proudly, "I knew it."
Nan Xiangwan rolled her eyes in anger, she couldn't help cursing in her heart, "You know what a ghost."
Because this place is far from the school or not, the two decided to walk back. In the cold wind, the milk tea covered with pearls brought a rare warmth. Nan Xiangwan couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly. He didn't know whether the milk tea warmed his palms or the palms warmed the milk tea.
As they walked, Nan Xiangwan's eyes lit up. He pointed to a red sign and said, "Let's go to the bookstore."
"Bookstore? Are you not in a hurry to go back to class?"
Nan Xiangwan smiled mischievously, like a little fox, "It's okay to skip class for a while now and then, besides, the class teacher's lectures are not very good, so it doesn't matter if you don't listen."
Lin Xiaoran said, "Heh, you speak ill of the head teacher? Be careful and I'll tell him."
"I'm afraid of you? You never said anything bad about him?" Nan Xiangwan snorted softly and strode into the bookstore. She walked around the bookstore along the aisle, and finally stopped in front of the teaching assistant. Lin Xiaoran's English proficiency is limited, so he can't use too difficult materials, otherwise it will dampen his enthusiasm, and can't use too simple materials, otherwise he won't be able to achieve the effect of practice. The source of the materials should preferably be foreign language newspapers and periodicals. Only the original flavors have the value of learning. The style of the questions should be similar to the college entrance examination, and the answers should be as detailed as possible...
It was not easy to find materials that met so many conditions at the same time. Nan Xiangwan squatted on the ground, carefully searched on the bookshelf, and took it out from time to time to look through it for a while.
Lin Xiaoran followed her at this moment, poked his head out from behind her, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
The bookstore was very quiet, and Lin Xiaoran didn't want to speak loudly, so he asked angrily, "Are you picking for me?"
Nan Xiangwan lowered his head, and the familiar voice brought a breeze, which made people's hearts itch. She paused and said, "Yes."
Lin Xiaoran smiled, "I have a lot of books, but I can't finish it after finishing the first page."
Nan Xiangwan closed the book with a "snap", turned around and said, "From now on, I will supervise you, and if you fail to finish, I will punish you..."
"Punish me for what?"
Nan Xiangwan couldn't think of a good idea for a while, so he could only say, "I'll punish you to buy me milk tea and see if you can still complete the task?"
"Okay." Lin Xiaoran agreed with a smile.
Nan Xiangwan took the selected reading materials to the checkout, then walked out of the bookstore with Lin Xiaoran and prepared to go back to school.
The sky in early winter always looks extraordinarily high. If you look carefully, there is a plane flying overhead. The plane flew very high, small like stars in the sky, leaving long white lines in the blue sky.
Nan Xiangwan tilted his head and asked Lin Xiaoran, "What do you think teachers and classmates would do if they knew you had passed the medical examination?"
"have no idea."
Nan Xiangwan said half-jokingly: "There should be many girls who like you. That's a pilot. He's wearing a uniform, pulling a suitcase and wearing sunglasses, sitting in the cockpit. How handsome. Have you watched "Up to the Sky" Is it? Many girls like the captain in it."
"Really?" Lin Xiaoran asked nonchalantly, after a while, he suddenly stopped, looked at Nan Xiangwan blankly, and asked, "What about you?"
"Me?" Nan Xiangwan was stunned, she didn't know if Lin Xiaoran was asking about himself or a character in the TV series. Feeling that Lin Xiaoran had been waiting for her answer, Nan Xiangwan quickly looked away and continued walking forward. The temperature in the street was very low, but her face was burning hot, like the cup of milk tea just now.
"Hey, you haven't answered me yet!"
Nan Xiangwan ignored him, the more he called her, the faster she walked.
"Hey, wait for me."
Nan Xiangwan was walking when he stopped suddenly. Lin Xiaoran was also taken aback by the scene in front of him. He didn't care about the question just now, and also stopped in his tracks.
There was a police car parked outside the gate of No. 3 Middle School, with its lights flashing, as if something had happened. The two looked puzzled and looked at each other, "What's the matter?"
What was even more strange was that an ambulance was parked next to the police. The police were wearing masks, and the medical staff were fully armed.
"The head teacher is here?" Lin Xiaoran called out.
Nan Xiangwan also found out that the head teacher of the disciplinary class was standing at the school gate looking around, but now it should be his class time, he is very dedicated, even if the sky falls, the students will not be delayed from class, unless...
The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, guessing that something serious must have happened.
Soon, the head teacher also saw them. He said something to the police and medical staff. After a while of whispering, a group of people rushed towards the two of them.
"Isn't it?" Nan Xiangwan wailed.
Lin Xiaoran also felt baffled, "Could it be that he was caught skipping class? It shouldn't be."
The group of people ran over quickly, surrounded the two of them as if they were catching prey, and caught them three times and two times.
"Hey, what are you doing? What did we do wrong? Why arrest us?" Lin Xiaoran yelled and kicked and hit us. Someone said something, but because the man was wearing a mask and the scene was chaotic, they didn't Listening to what he said clearly, I only vaguely caught something like "infection" and "quarantine".
The two were taken into two ambulances, and the doors were slammed shut. Nan Xiangwan saw the extremely worried face of the head teacher through the window glass. On the other side of the ambulance was Lin Xiaoran, who was also wrapped from top to bottom. Surrounded by medical staff in isolation suits, he was stuffed into the car involuntarily.
In the car, Nan Xiangwan intermittently learned what happened from the doctor. It turned out that the hospital had just confirmed a case of a malignant infectious disease. Lin Xiaoran and Nan Xiangwan were identified as close contacts and needed medical isolation and observation. Nan Xiangwan had been in contact with many patients in the emergency room in the past two days, and she couldn't think of anyone who had a vicious infectious disease.
It's useless to think about it now, Nan Xiangwan thought sadly. She wrung her hands together uneasily, and asked after a while, "How is the patient...?"
"It is being treated, because it was discovered in time and should be under control."
Nan Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief just now, but the doctor's next words chilled her heart, "But it will take a long time for this disease to be completely cured."
"How long?" Nan Xiangwan asked impatiently.
"At least half a year."
Half a year... There is more than half a year before the college entrance examination, and there is a physical examination before the college entrance examination...
"If you get sick, will you not be able to take the college entrance examination?"
"College entrance exam?" the doctor asked, as if saying that his life was about to die, so he didn't care about the college entrance examination.
Nan Xiangwan was finally taken to an express hotel. The entire building was cordoned off from a long distance away. Inside the cordon, the smell of disinfectant was everywhere. Nan Xiangwan looked back and forth for a while, but did not see Lin Xiaoran's figure, and did not know whether he had not arrived yet or had already entered.
The medical staff took her into a room on the third floor, where she will spend seven days, and the isolation can be released if she does not get sick within seven days.
seven days...
Nan Xiangwan hurriedly asked the staff, hoping that they could send her study materials so that she could continue studying during this time.
Just can't attend class. Nan Xiangwan thought dejectedly. Lin Xiaoran must be very happy, he doesn't have to go to class, he just eats, sleeps and watches TV every day. You must know that the whole third year of high school will not have a full seven-day holiday except for the Spring Festival. I don't know which room he lives in, what's going on now...
Nan Xiangwan thought about it, and the phone rang.
She hesitated for a while to answer, and her mother's voice came from inside, "Why are you quarantined?" Guan Xiumei's voice was crying.
Nan Xiangwan smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, I'll be back in a few days."
"What do you want to eat, I'll send it to you? How about braised pork with pickled vegetables? Sweet and sour pork ribs? Jiaoliu meatballs?"
"Mom..." Nan Xiangwan couldn't laugh or cry. "I'm fine here." She looked at the pale wall and said, "It's really fine." Nan Xiangwan was full of fear, but she didn't want to show it, especially to her mother.
After finally getting her mother well, Nan Xiangwan promised her to eat well, sleep well, and report any discomfort at any time. After hanging up the phone, the room quickly fell silent. In such a place, there seemed to be fewer birds chirping. However, it was only quiet for a second, and more calls flooded in like a flood.
Jiang Darling called her to ask her about the situation here. She told Nan Xiangwan to take good care of herself, and told her to rest assured that she would record all the lessons to ensure that Nan Xiangwan's study would not be delayed.
Zhang Chao and Li Shuai also called, saying that they had prepared a few 3s, and if one was out of battery, they would replace it with another one.
Other familiar and unfamiliar students called one after another, saying that they couldn't help much in this situation, but it was still possible to help record the content of the class. She helped them with physics at the beginning, but now that she is isolated, everyone has to do something for her.
Hearing this, Nan Xiangwan wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. The teachers who taught the discipline class must not have known that so many people were recording when they were lecturing, right
Nan Xiangwan thanked his classmates. Ten minutes later, the phone rang again.
This time was different from the previous ones. The people over there were silent for a while, breathing shallowly on the microphone, bringing a sound similar to electric current. Nan Xiangwan never believed in telepathy, but this time, the thin phone line seemed to bring not only breathing but also the current that stimulated the heartbeat. She seemed to have sensed something, holding the microphone excitedly, and asked cautiously, "Is it you?"
"It's me." A male voice came from the microphone, it was Lin Xiaoran's voice.
"You, are you okay?" Nan Xiangwan couldn't help but began to choke up, and then burst into tears. She can be optimistic in front of her mother and strong in front of her classmates, but in front of Lin Xiaoran, she no longer wants to pretend. In fact, she is very scared now, afraid of being diagnosed with the disease, afraid of delaying the college entrance examination, and even more afraid of facing death. She had worked so hard for so long, and she really didn't want to declare the end before it even started.
"Why are you crying?" Lin Xiaoran already knew what was going on, "Don't worry, isn't it just that you can't take the college entrance examination? Isn't it because I still have me, and I can be a companion if I repeat my studies."
"Who wants to be your company?" Nan Xiangwan cursed while crying. But she quickly thought of another thing. Lin Xiaoran had just passed the medical examination for recruiting a pilot. If he was diagnosed with the disease, would he not even have the chance to be a pilot? Thinking of this, Nan Xiangwan cried even harder.
"Hello? What floor are you on?" Suddenly, Lin Xiaoran asked eagerly.
Nan Xiangwan sniffed, "What's wrong on the third floor?"
"Which room?" Lin Xiaoran knocked on the wall, "Can you hear me? Are you next to me?"
Nan Xiangwan was immediately attracted by the "dong dong" sound on the wall, she quickly ran over and responded with a "dong dong" sound, and there was another "dong dong" sound on the wall, Nan Xiangwan shouted excitedly, " Really, I'm really next door to you." Realizing that there was someone familiar by her side, Nan Xiangwan seemed less afraid.
Lin Xiaoran smiled at this moment, "It's too bad, I will definitely be disturbed by your snoring at night so I can't sleep."
Nan Xiangwan snorted coldly, "Oh, I should be worried, right?"
"It's a bet if you don't believe it."
"Just bet, bet what?"
"A cup of milk tea."
…
As night fell, the hotel that was temporarily designated as a quarantine area finally burst into laughter.
