Facts have proved that Bai Lu completely underestimated the strength of the wind-cold virus, let alone two days, ten days is a piece of cake.

On the night of the 19th, Bai Lu went to ask Bao Jianxun for leave.

Saturdays are also self-study, there are no classes, Teacher Bao is very happy to give the leave, and even asked her not to use it on Sundays, and completely recover from her illness at home.

Bai Lu understood that he gave the fake so boldly because he was worried that she would infect other people.

Bao Jianxun is a math teacher who has been taking care of them since the first year of high school. He is 30 years old this year and has taken two graduating classes. He is a cautious and serious type, and he is usually serious.

Taking the note from Bao Jianxun, Bai Lu didn't go to the evening self-study and returned to the dormitory early.

She was alone in the room now. When she came back from school last Wednesday, Bai Lu found that all Jiang Ru's bedding and daily necessities had been taken away. She went to ask the dormitory auntie, only to find out that Jiang Ru's parents had come to get them.

She didn't meet anyone, otherwise she would really like to ask how Jiang Ru is doing now.

An umbrella stood beside the table, neatly folded and slender.

Bai Lu checked the traffic of the Second Hospital of the Medical University on her mobile phone, took a shower after making a note, and went to bed.

Saturday was also sunny, and the weather forecast said it would be 22 to 28 degrees. Bai Lu put away her school uniform and changed into a white linen three-quarter-length sleeve, a pair of light brown trousers, a backpack, and a mask. , go slowly to take the bus.

Two days ago, she stayed up late to do the questions and didn't take any medicine. Bai Lu's physical condition was extremely poor. She was so crowded on the hot and congested bus that she almost fell over when she got off the bus.

The traffic jam at the gate of the Second Hospital was severe, and Bai Lu walked back and forth on the constipated road until she reached the gate of the hospital.

The hospital was overcrowded on weekends, and Bai Lu stood under the scorching sun, fanning herself.

She found the inpatient department, which was a separate building with a height of forty floors. Standing downstairs and looking up, it was simply amazing. The backyard is under construction and fenced off, and foundations are being laid inside. According to the depth of the foundation, another 40-storey inpatient building should take shape next year.

Bai Lu is a local, and she also visited the Second Hospital when she was a child. She remembers that the size of the hospital at that time was only one-fifth of its current size. Unexpectedly, in just ten years, the human body has become so fragile.

Bai Lu entered the building, and the air conditioner inside made her tremble slightly.

Many patients sat and rested in the lobby on the first floor, and the doctors came and went with serious expressions and striding forward, with white coats behind them.

Bai Lu rubbed her hands, took out a thin shirt from her shoulder bag, and put it on her body.

When she found the service desk, Bai Lu was about to ask, but she opened her mouth and sneezed.

"...I'm sorry." Bai Lu frantically took out a tissue from her bag, covered her mouth and said.

The nurse didn't change her face, "What do you want to ask?"

Bai Lu: "I'm here to visit my friend, but I don't know which ward he lives in."

Nurse: "What's your name?"

Bai Lu: "Jiang Yiheng. The river of the river, easy and easy, persistent."

"Wait a minute..." The nurse quickly checked on the computer, "Jiang Yiheng, in District 7, A710."

"thanks."

Bai Lu waited at the elevator, and looked up at the index sign of the inpatient department next to the elevator.

Below the Seventh District are two departments—Neurology Ward and Rehabilitation Ward.

With a sound of ding dong, the elevator arrived, and Bai Lu squeezed up with the crowd.

The smell of hospital medicine gave her a headache, and everyone in the elevator seemed to smell of disinfectant alcohol.

After getting out of the elevator, there were not many people in the corridor, so Bai Lu followed the signs and found A710.

The door of this ward was not opened, but the door next door was open, a common ward with three rooms.

Bai Lu glanced at the time, it was less than ten o'clock.

She turned around at the door of the ward. A ward next to A710 is just at the corner, there are four wards there, and there are no stairs or elevators.

Bai Lu sat down on the stool behind the corner to rest.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, feeling a little bored, Bai Lu took out the vocabulary book from her bag and memorized the vocabulary to play.

At ten twenty, Bai Lu put away all her things and focused on the door of the ward.

It was past half past ten.

ten forty... fifty...

eleven o'clock.

She still hasn't waited for anyone.

Are you not coming

Bai Lu pursed her lips, let out a long sigh, put away her vocabulary book and prepared to go back.

The elevator was so busy that it didn't come for a long time, and many people were already crowded at the door. Seeing this posture, Bai Lu couldn't transport all the people away even if the elevator came, so she simply went up the stairs.

Entering the stairs, Bai Lu instantly retracted her toes as if she had stepped on a switch, and turned over to lean against the wall outside the corridor.

Heart pounding and pounding.

Bai Lu opened her mouth, but she still hadn't recovered.

What are you doing, so scary.

Half a minute later, Bai Lu turned her side slightly to ensure that her body was not exposed, and looked out.

He was still standing there.

Xu Hui was wearing the clothes he had been out in the rain that day—a black shirt, jeans, and white casual shoes. He stood at the bottom of the stairs, looking out the window smoking a cigarette, his face couldn't be more relaxed.

There is a plastic bag on the window sill, and it can be vaguely seen that it is fruit.

The person came, did not go to the ward

Bai Lu thought, the smell of cigarettes at the stairway was already heavy, he must have smoked more than one cigarette.

Bai Lu waited patiently. After a few minutes, Xu Hui slammed the cigarette out, turned around and went downstairs.

Bai Lu followed.

Bai Lu originally wanted to keep a little distance, but later realized that she was thinking too much. Xu Hui was very fast, and Bai Lu had to run as fast as she could, let alone control, so as not to be thrown too far away by him.

Xu Hui came out of the inpatient department and walked directly to the door. Bai Lu patted him on the back just before he left the building.

When Xu Hui turned his head, Bai Lu almost collided with her inertial tendency. Fortunately, Xu Hui reacted quickly, grabbed her arm before hitting her, and pulled her aside.

The movement is a little rough, and the arm hurts a little.

Xu Hui frowned, staring at her with a strange expression on his face.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Lu was out of breath, breathing heavily with her mouth behind the mask.

Xu Hui turned around and left.

"Hey… "

Bai Lu called him to stop, Xu Hui turned his head again, with an even more impatient expression.

"in the end-"

Bai Lu pulled off the mask, her face flushed from the heat outside.

Pointing to herself, she took a deep breath.

"Remember, remember me?"

Xu Hui paused, his eyebrows relaxed a little, obviously recognizing Bai Lu.

"It's you."

Bai Lu nodded, "You still remember me."

Xu Hui looked Bai Lu up and down.

"Ok."

Bai Lu sniffled, her chest itched from the strenuous exercise, and she sneezed loudly before speaking.

Xu Hui: "Have a cold?"

Bai Lu rubbed her nose: "It was raining last time."

Xu Hui: "To see a doctor?"

Bai Lu: "By the way, I came to visit my friend. He was hospitalized here, and he happened to see you when he came downstairs." She looked at Xu Hui, and whispered, "You are walking so fast, I almost couldn't catch up."

Xu Hui smiled faintly, "Really."

Bai Lu: "I wanted to call you, but I didn't know your name. You also came to see a friend?"

Xu Hui looked a little absent-minded, with his hands in his trouser pockets and his head slightly lowered.

"… Ok."

Holding the backpack strap in her hand, Bai Lu asked, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Xu Hui raised his eyes.

He looked tall in front of her, Bai Lu nodded and lowered her voice.

"If you didn't eat it, would you like to eat it together? It's just a thank you for your help last time."

Xu Hui's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Bai Lu, as if he was examining something calmly, and finally shook his head, "No, I'm leaving first."

The person turned around and was pulled back again.

Xu Hui frowned and turned around, "I said—"

The words were interrupted by something handed over.

A plastic bag with packed kumquats, raisins and apples.

Xu Hui looked at the plastic bag, and Bai Lu said, "You just saw it, you forgot to take it."

Xu Hui was stunned for a while, his eyes stopped on the bag, but he didn't take it. Bai Lu moved, and Xu Hui looked up from the fruit bag.

Bai Lu's eyes were clear, tiny beads of sweat condensed on her forehead, and her small mouth was slightly opened.

"I just wanted to stop you when I saw this, but you walked too fast and almost missed chasing you." Bai Lu said softly.

Xu Hui pursed his lips, and for some reason, he looked away.

Bai Lu sent the bag forward, showing a slightly puzzled expression, and said, "Take it..."

Xu Hui looked at the flower bed next to him, and took the bag casually.

Bai Lu lowered her head, and the two were speechless for a while.

After a while, Bai Lu lifted her backpack up and said, "Then I'm leaving... goodbye." She strode across from Xu Hui.

"Hey."

A rare wind blows in summer, a small scrap of paper rolls on the ground, Bai Lu turns her head lightly.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Hui stood behind. His hair was slightly long, black and shiny, and the corners of his brows were blocked by the wind. The tall and thin body was cut into crisp and simple lines by the sun.

"Let's have a meal." He said casually.

Bai Lu lowered her head, "Okay."

The two walked out of the hospital side by side.

Bai Lu asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Xu Hui: "Whatever."

Bai Lu's walking habits are not very good. She always lowers her head, looks at her toes, and gently kicks away small stones when she encounters them.

Walking on the sidewalk, Bai Lu suddenly said lightly, "Let's eat wontons."

Xu Hui's mind wasn't all on eating, he was obviously thinking about other things, after listening to Bai Lu's words, he didn't think about anything else, and nodded.

"Row."

Bai Lu took out her phone, "I'll check to see if there's a wonton shop nearby."

Xu Hui stood by and waited, looking at the busy street outside.

The map showed that there were three wonton shops within two kilometers of the surrounding area. Bai Lu looked at the screen and whispered, "... none."

Xu Hui turned his head, "Do you want to eat wonton?"

Bai Lu closed the phone, "I don't really want to, I can't find it around..."

Xu Hui: "Oh, there is one near my school, but you have to go there by car. Find a nearby restaurant and have a casual meal."

Bai Lu looked at him, "Where is your school?"

Xu Hui paused, and said, "Fuyi Vocational High School is next to my house." Then, he glanced at Bai Lu, "You still remember my house, right?"

"Of course I remember." Bai Lu said, she raised her head, looked at Xu Hui timidly, and then said another sentence.

"Actually, I'm going to the nearby one too..."

Xu Hui suddenly smiled, looked aside, the corners of his mouth curled up, a hint of understanding.

"Okay." He said flatly, "Then go."

The two of them went to take the bus, which was the one when Bai Lu came.

The car is still crowded with people like dumplings.

Xu Hui stood behind Bai Lu.

There are too many people, and it is inevitable that the two will meet.

When the car turned, Bai Lu's body swayed, her head was slightly tilted back, and her ponytail was lightly pasted and rubbed against the collar of her shirt.

The collarbone is a little itchy.

Xu Hui lowered his eyes, Bai Lu's hair was lightly golden under the sunlight, with natural curls, it looked soft and fragile.
