We were both silent for a long time, and then I broke the silence first and asked: "Then what are you going to do in the future?"
There was a tangled look on Xu Lu's face. She sighed and replied: "Just take it one step at a time. It's a day if I can delay it. Anyway, I can't fool around with a married man. I won't wait until I get married." One day he insisted on speaking openly to me, and it was not too late for me to refuse him. "
I said: "Then you have to weigh it carefully. After all, he is almost forty, and he has been working hard in the workplace for longer than we have been in school. How could he not know this little ninety-nine in our hearts? You You have to be careful to prevent him from trying any tricks on you."
Xu Lu raised her eyebrows and asked, "No way?"
I am indeed a sinister person, but it is better to be prepared for a rainy day than to boil a frog in warm water. I replied aloud: "You also said that he showed his kindness to you overtly and covertly, not to mention whether you took advantage of others, but in his heart It’s impossible not to count all the meetings. If you refuse directly when the time comes, I’m afraid he won’t let you get away so easily.”
Xu Lu was a little panicked by what I said. Her back stiffened and she looked at me and asked, "Then what should I do?"
I said, "Since he hasn't made his words clear now, I'm afraid he may have some worries in his heart. Firstly, he doesn't know what kind of person you are, and he's afraid that he will steal the chicken but lose the rice. Secondly, he may be a chicken thief and wants to test you first." In this case, you don’t have to explain it clearly. You just need to use your own way to hint to him that you can’t be with him. Isn’t that enough?”
Xu Lu said: "What do you mean..."
"Find a man to pretend to be your boyfriend and drive you to and from get off work. Let him know that you are a famous woman and a married woman. I don't believe it. If he still hints at you like this, then he is really shameless. ”
Xu Lu's eyes lit up and she said, "This method is good, but where can I find a man?"
I rolled my eyes and quickly thought: "Yi Yang, there's a big living person here!"
When Xu Lu heard this, she immediately looked at me with meaningful eyes, half-smiling but not smiling, and then said: "Isn't this... bad?"
I glanced at her, followed her wishes, and said deliberately: "You're welcome, I'll lend it to you."
Xu Lu immediately showed a big smile, took my hand and said, "Sisters, these are pure sisters!"
I pushed her away and replied carelessly: "Go away, I just feel sorry for you."
Xu Lu said: "I'm sorry, but if you can lend it to me, that's fine. People like Yi Yang, who are good students from the country, are reluctant to lend it out."
I said, "Then you have to ask Yi Yang. Don't let my big words get out, otherwise he won't agree."
Xu Lu smiled and replied: "How could he not agree to your nod?"
After that, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly took my arm and said, "Shall we go back to school?"
"Huh? Now?"
Xu Lu nodded and replied: "It's still early anyway. Let's go back to play with Yi Yang. You can also visit the dean of the department on the way. Haven't you always wanted to thank him in person?"
Xu Lu knew my psychology very well and convinced me with almost one sentence. Therefore, I endured the pressure of motion sickness and took a two-hour ride with Xu Lu back to Yecheng University.
This is my first time back to Night City University since I graduated. Looking at the familiar school gate and several familiar commercial streets outside the door, everything brings me endless memories.
Today happens to be the weekend, and there are people inside and outside the school. Xu Lu and I first went to a familiar stall in the commercial street and bought ten skewers of grilled squid.
As soon as the boss saw the two of us, his eyes immediately showed surprise and he asked loudly: "Hey, it's you. Didn't you graduate? When did you come back?"
Seeing familiar faces made me feel better, so I smiled and replied, "I just got off the bus. It's a holiday. I thought I'd come back and have a look."
The boss was also happy and gave us two skewers of octopus balls as a gift. After I thanked Xu Lu, I walked towards the school. On the way, a group of older boys walked towards me. At first glance, they were all familiar faces.
Sure enough, several of them walked directly towards me and Xu Lu and said with a smile: "Senior sister, why are you back?"
I took a closer look and saw that these people were all classmates in Kuang Yiyang's class.
I said: "Let's come back to Yi Yang and take a look at the teacher."
The boy said: "Yi Yang, he is not at school, he went to the hospital."
When Xu Lu and I heard this, our expressions suddenly changed.
"What happened to him? Why did he go to the hospital?" I looked at the boy in front of me and asked anxiously.
The boy replied: "I heard that the head of the Department of Foreign Languages suddenly suffered a heart attack today and was sent to the hospital. Yi Yang said that he would go to the hospital to visit him. Didn't you contact him before coming here?"
Xu Lu and I decided to come over temporarily because we wanted to give Kuang Yiyang a surprise, so we deliberately didn't call.
Hearing that the head of our department was sent to the hospital, Xu Lu was even more surprised and said: "When did this happen?"
The boy said: "Not long ago, it took less than an hour for the ambulance to leave."
Xu Lu and I took out our mobile phones at the same time. Xu Lu said, "I'll call Yi Yang, you call the department chair."
We both called separately. No one answered the call from the department chair, but Xu Lu asked: "Yi Yang, where are you?"
I stood next to Xu Lu and watched her talking to Kuang Yiyang. After a while, she hung up the phone and turned to me and said: "At the city hospital, Yiyang said that the department director was sent to the emergency room, and his family members also They all just arrived.”
Xu Lu and I had just returned to school. We didn't see anyone we wanted to see, so we ran to the school gate again, hailed a taxi, and hurried back to the city center.
When we arrived at the entrance of the city hospital, we saw Kuang Yiyang standing on the side of the road holding a mobile phone. He came down specially to pick us up.
After paying the fare, Xu Lu and I quickly got out of the car. The first thing I said after coming out was: "Teacher, how is he?"
The head of our department is named Gu. Because he used to teach German, those of us who are familiar with him call him Teacher Gu.
When Kuang Yiyang heard this, he replied solemnly: "I haven't left the operating room yet, so I don't know what the situation is yet."
Xu Lu and I both looked worried, and under the leadership of Kuang Yiyang, we entered the hospital.
A total of five members of Teacher Gu’s family came, including his son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law, and a girl who looked like she had just entered junior high school, who was Teacher Gu’s granddaughter.
When they saw Xu Lu and I rushing over, one of them, a man in his forties, asked loudly, "Are you also a student at Ye University?"
I replied aloud: "Teacher Gu is the head of our department. He takes good care of us. When I returned to school this time, I wanted to visit him, but I didn't expect..."
Unexpectedly, he ended up in the hospital.
The man sighed and replied in a low voice: "My dad went for a physical examination six months ago and was found to have signs of heart disease and cerebral hemorrhage. Our family members told him not to go to school anymore. Anyway, he has long passed the age of retirement. But he insisted that the school re-employ him, which was a recognition of his ability, and he refused to retire. "
Teacher Gu is a stubborn and strong person, which is easy to see from his daily speech and behavior.
During the period after graduation, although I did not come back to school to see him, I called him several times to express my gratitude to him for asking Luo Xiangdong to help take care of me. However, the old man always told me not to be polite. In Luo Xiangdong, Work hard.
It can be said that I cannot be where I am today without his help. In addition, he also took great care of me during the four years in school. My feelings for him are like a granddaughter's grandfather. Now that my grandma has just been discharged from the hospital and he has entered the hospital again, I feel depressed and uncomfortable.
Xu Lu spoke out to comfort Teacher Gu's family: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
A group of us were waiting outside the operating room. During this period, Kuang Yiyang asked Xu Lu and me in a low voice: "Senior sister, why are you here?"
I whispered back: "It's holiday today, and I wanted to come back to school to see you and Teacher Gu, but who would have thought of such a thing?"
Xu Lu sighed and whispered: "Fortunately, I came back today, otherwise I wouldn't have known about Teacher Gu's hospitalization."
I looked at Kuang Yiyang and said, "Why didn't you tell us?"
Kuang Yiyang said: "I don't know the specific situation yet, I'm afraid you will be worried."
I sighed secretly, feeling very uneasy in my heart.
We sat on the bench for about an hour. The door of the operating room opened, the nurse came out pushing the bed, and a group of people quickly got up and surrounded us.
Teacher Gu’s son and daughter kept asking the doctor how Teacher Gu was doing.
The doctor took off his mask and replied loudly: "The operation was successful, but the patient's physical condition is not optimistic. First of all, he has heart disease and high blood pressure, so if he works too hard, it can easily cause acute cerebral hemorrhage. I saw the patient's medical record It shows that he is sixty-two years old. Is he still engaged in any kind of high-intensity work? "
"My dad is a university teacher..."
I was listening to the conversation between the doctor and the family, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.
Looking at Teacher Gu lying in the hospital bed with an oxygen mask on his face, he seemed to be getting older after not seeing him for more than two months.
The nurse pushed Teacher Gu to the intensive care unit and said that she would wait and see if there were any abnormalities tonight.
I stood in the ward with Xu Lu and Kuang Yiyang, unable to help or say anything.
The doctor ordered: "The patient needs to rest now. Everyone does not need to stay in the house. Only one person should stay vigil overnight, and everyone else can go back."
A group of us roared out of the ward again. Teacher Gu's daughter said to us: "It's been really hard on the three of you today, especially Kuang. I heard that you were always by my dad's side and sent him here. , and went through all the formalities.”
Kuang Yiyang replied softly: "You're welcome, this is what it should be."
Teacher Gu's son said: "No matter what, you three are interested. If my dad knows that you came to see him, he will be very happy."
My eyes turned red and I whispered: "Uncle, Teacher Gu has been kind to me. I owe him a personal thank you. If he wakes up, please tell me as soon as possible."
