The middle-aged man fell to the ground. Xu Tingsheng, who had never photographed people before, was a little nervous, so he tried his breath. Fortunately, he was not dead.

"here you go."

"Awesome."

There were apprehensive people amidst the applause. Bao Ming said to the people around him, "Look, I told you earlier, this man is crazy, he can do anything."

The people upstairs were roaring, followed by deafening applause.

Several girls who had already been stunned woke up from the applause, screaming and running to the teaching building, and the voice of the school leader came from the other side: "Students, please stay where you are... Please stay where you are. "

Xu Tingsheng pulled a few girls who wanted to run away, and said with a gentle smile:

"The few of us can't leave, but I assure you, this person is not SARS, and we will not get SARS... You believe me, if I am not sure, how can I come here, right

In fact, he has already passed the dangerous period, and he just scares himself. Let's sit here and wait for a while, the people from the hospital will come and examine us and we will be fine.

…”

Xu Tingsheng calmed down for a while, and the girls gradually calmed down. They began to believe that Xu Tingsheng was here, and the best proof was that he had come. As he himself said, who would dare to approach a suspected SARS patient if he was not sure

There was only one person at the scene who didn't believe Xu Tingsheng's explanation at all. Wu Yuewei felt that Xu Tingsheng was not sure at all. So many people were not sure and were all afraid. How could he be sure? ... But even though he was not sure, even though he might be infected with SARS, he still came because he came by himself.

Wu Yuewei couldn't care about anything, shyness, Xu Tingsheng's previous words, the colonel's leadership, and her classmates. Under the gaze of more than a thousand pairs of eyes, she plunged into Xu Tingsheng's arms.

Xu Tingsheng didn't expect so much. In his opinion, Wu Yuewei was scared and needed comfort and support to do so. So he didn't push her away, Xu Tingsheng patted Wu Yuewei's back lightly with one hand, and the other hand hung down because he couldn't find the place to put it, like a one-armed warrior embracing his woman.

Whistles sounded among several teaching buildings.

Xu Tingsheng comforted Wu Yuewei with gentle words: "Don't be afraid, it's really fine. Just trust me."

Wu Yuewei arched in his arms, nodded, and said with a sob: "I'm not afraid."

About half an hour later, fully armed medical personnel and several armed police officers and soldiers arrived at the scene. After a general understanding of the situation, the middle-aged man suspected of SARS was first carried into the ambulance, and then Xu Tingsheng and several girls went into the ambulance. into another car.

In fact, he lied. Several people were sent to the isolation ward directly after some examinations in the hospital. As a person who has been in contact with a suspected SARS patient, how could the hospital just let you go back like this.

The crying of several girls rang out again. This time, no amount of consolation by the "liar" Xu Tingsheng was of use.

Xu Tingsheng carefully kept a distance from the nurse along the way, entered the ward and sat down, said with a smile: "Hello... don't be afraid, I won't come over, I want a pot of water, and can I make a phone call here? Also, Can our books be sent in?"

The little nurse wrapped in a thick protective suit replied "wait a moment" in a low voice, and retreated.

When she came back again, she had a hot water bottle in her hand, and told Xu Tingsheng: "You can call whatever you want, I asked for the book for you, and it should be delivered later."

After Xu Tingsheng said "thank you", he picked up the phone, called his parents at home, comforted them patiently, and then called Fu Cheng's mobile phone, and told him to help pack up the books he was going to bring in, and wait for the people from the hospital to come over. Well leave it to them.

Parents cried for a long time on the phone, Fu Cheng scolded Xu Tingsheng a few words on the phone, and then Huang Yaming grabbed the phone and scolded him too, in fact, they seemed to be crying too.

Yao Jing's voice came from the phone, and she said, "Are you okay?"

Xu Tingsheng said: "I'm sorry, I didn't think of anything else at the time. I mean, if you were down there, I would go too." These few words actually meant that the more you explain, the more confusing it becomes, because things can no longer be explained, unless Xu Tingsheng revealed his foresight, otherwise he would not be able to explain it to Wu Yuewei, Yao Jing, and everyone else.

Yao Jing said, "It's okay, I know, don't be too nervous."

Xu Tingsheng laughed on the phone and said, "I'm not nervous. It's you. Don't affect your studies. Your grades are not as good as mine."

Yao Jing said, "I will work hard."

After that, several people answered the phone and spoke, including Lao Zhou, Song Ni, and even the vice principal Lou and the principal.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Tingsheng noticed that the nurse was still standing outside the door. He said, "Go and rest, I'm fine here."

The person under the protective suit seemed to smile and said, "This is the rule, the new rule after that person ran away."

Xu Tingsheng said, "Don't worry, I won't run away."

The nurse said: "I can see it, by the way, why are you not worried at all?"

Xu Tingsheng had no choice but to say: "I'm actually very worried, but I want to comfort others. If you come here to take care of me, your family members are also very worried, right?"

The nurse said, "Yeah."

The two kept chatting through a door until the phone in Xu Tingsheng's room rang.

"Hello, it's me. I asked the nurse for the phone number, and she said it's an internal call, so you can call as you please."

"Well, are you scared?"

"No, don't be afraid, I'm in the room next to yours."

"real?"

"Um."

"Call me if you're afraid."

"Well, how about we chat for a while?"

"Okay, what are we talking about?"

"...don't you do eye exercises now?"

The first time Xu Tingsheng saw Wu Yuewei was when she came to the class to check eye exercises. Xu Tingsheng accidentally opened his eyes once and saw Wu Yuewei. From that time on, Xu Tingsheng didn't do eye exercises anymore. Every time, he opened his eyes wide and stared at Wu Yuewei. Wu Yuewei said, "Student, if you don't do well, points will be deducted." Xu Tingsheng said, "But I want to see you." Wu Yuewei said, "... hooligan, points will be deducted."

At this moment, Wu Yuewei said on the phone: "Aren't you doing eye exercises now?"

Xu Tingsheng said, "Do you still need to deduct points?"

Wu Yuewei said, "Hmm... hooligan."

Xu Tingsheng said: "At that time, I was really ignorant."

Wu Yuewei said: "Is it possible not to say this these days here?"

At this moment, in such a situation, Wu Yuewei didn't know that the outcome would be safe like Xu Tingsheng did. To her, this was a life and death test, and it was the first time in this little girl's life that she faced death directly. So, now that she made a request, Xu Tingsheng couldn't refuse.

So Xu Tingsheng said, "Okay."

What next? Are you in love? Across a wall, Wu Yuewei thought, but how do you talk about love? she does not know.

"When the books come in, let me help you with math? You ask them to bring in the notebook I gave you, and I'll explain it to you according to the notes."

Wu Yuewei said, sure enough, that's how Xueba's love was originally talked about.

"Are you going to take up math again?" Xu Tingsheng couldn't say that I had given up on math. This was the third group of people who helped him with math.

Xu Tingsheng said, "Okay."

The next day, the books came in.

Xu Tingsheng made a phone call to his family every day, and occasionally called Huang Yaming and Fu Cheng. He used his calmness and optimism to make everyone feel at ease. Other than that, he just listened to Wu Yuewei's lectures on the phone. The scary thing about Xueba is that , The notes she had sorted out seemed to be printed in her mind. Speaking in sequence, the analogy was extended, and there were no mistakes or omissions.

After the lecture, the two would chat for a while, talking about unimportant things, Xu Tingsheng occasionally told some clean jokes, and heard Wu Yuewei giggling on the other side of the microphone. Gradually, the little girl seemed to have forgotten her fear.

This feeling tied to a telephone line across a wall may be far deeper than the passionate love of holding hands and embracing. Xu Tingsheng knew that such a result would make it more difficult to turn around, but he didn't know how to cut it off. Perhaps it should be said this way: Xu Tingsheng himself was also addicted to this kind of warmth and tacit understanding.

Because in a sense, he is the loneliest person in the world.

At other times, Xu Tingsheng would chat with the little nurse outside the door through the door, tell a few clean jokes to attract her interest, and then suddenly throw out a nasty joke, and listen to her swearing outside the door through gritted teeth.

But Xu Tingsheng gradually realized that she still wanted to listen to the swearing, and every time she knew it was a nasty joke, she would pretend to realize it later, and when Xu Tingsheng finished speaking, she would swear with a flushed face.

Later, more nurses came to listen to jokes outside Xu Tingsheng's isolation ward every day.

This is very interesting, Xu Tingsheng occasionally has a bad taste, and he would think that if he told a nasty little girl like Wu Yuewei... what would happen? It's really interesting to think about it.

Finally one day Xu Tingsheng said on the phone: "There is a woman who can't get married because of her small breasts. She has met many times without success. One blind date was in winter. The woman was wearing a thick cotton coat, but she was very honest. Said to the man, "Do you mind if I have small breasts?" The man hesitated for a while and said, "Is there a big bun?" The woman said, "Yes"... Later they got married. The two lines rushed out of the bridal chamber in tears, knelt down and looked up to the sky, shouting, "Wang Zai's little mantou is also a mantou?!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, Wu Yuewei didn't smile or curse.

Xu Tingsheng regretted it, and quickly explained, apologized, and admitted his mistake...

Wu Yuewei finally spoke, she murmured and stammered a little: "Actually... I'm not young."

On the seventh day, the nurses happily brought good news: the suspected case had been confirmed to be not SARS.

Laughter echoed throughout the corridor, and the nurses and little girls hugged, danced, shouted and laughed, as if reborn.

Wu Yuewei said to Xu Tingsheng, "It's really all right."

Xu Tingsheng said, "Yes, are you happy?"

Wu Yuewei was a little disappointed and said: "But I haven't finished the lessons yet, but... I like it now."

Xu Tingsheng didn't speak.

Wu Yuewei said: "Did you become Xu Tingsheng's senior again after you left?"

Xu Tingsheng didn't speak.

The little girls packed their things and were ready to go home.

The nurse said, "There are still 7 days."

"But isn't that person all right?"

"Yes, but the rule is to quarantine for 14 days."

"But that person is all right."

"Yes, but the rules are very strict."

In the next 7 days, the little girls started rushing to each other. Occasionally, the little nurses came to Xu Tingsheng's room collectively, eating melon seeds and listening to jokes. Someone secretly brought in poker cards and pulled Xu Tingsheng to play cards together. Still, almost every little nurse owed Xu Tingsheng several hundred.

Wu Yuewei never came over, and the two of them were still separated by the wall and tied to the telephone wire.

Finally, when the "rules" allowed to leave, the little nurses hid in the lounge and could not come out.

Xu Tingsheng knocked on the door outside and said, "Girls, don't worry, I'm not here to collect debts. I'm leaving. Don't you want to give me a hug and say goodbye?"

That day Xu Tingsheng hugged one beautiful and cute little nurse after another.

Wu Yuewei stood at the end of the corridor and said, "Hug me today too."
