In the spring of my senior year, a sudden SARS swept across the country, and several densely populated large cities became the hardest hit areas, and the city where Yunjin was located was no exception. Humans are vulnerable to natural disasters and disease. Yun Jin's school is not a safe island either. Ever since a sophomore girl went to another city to visit her boyfriend and returned to school, she has been having a high fever and was sent to the hospital. After it was confirmed that she was infected with SARS, the whole school was in a panic. With fever symptoms and being isolated one after another, this anxiety has reached its peak. The school has taken a series of emergency measures, strictly restricting the going out of the students, sending special personnel to do house rounds every day, spraying disinfectant water in the dormitory, and checking the body temperature, but it still seems to be unable to curb everyone's panic. Even Yunjin's roommate, Xiaowen, was sent to the school infirmary for isolation and observation because she had close contact with the girl who was diagnosed with the disease. There were only five people left in the dormitory for six people, except for Yunjin. The other four were nervously holding the phone, the only tool to communicate with the outside world, all day long, and their parents, relatives, lovers, and friends also called to ask questions.

Yun Jin is not without anxiety. She has few friends and few relatives. The only person she can care about is her mother. Mom should always give her a call, but she hadn't gotten a call to herself for so many days. She didn't have a mobile phone, so she wondered that it was because her mother couldn't get into the landline that was always busy. She finally found an opportunity to have the phone idle, so she called her mother's "over there" phone number, but no one answered several times in a row. Yun Jin is worried and puzzled. Her mother is a full-time housewife now, so she has no reason to stay at home all the time. Even if something happens, she should tell her. At this time, she was frustrated to find that she didn't have "uncle"'s cell phone. Number. Faced with great anxiety and loss, Yun Jin called Mo Yuhua again. Her roommate even told Yun Jin that Yu Hua had coughed all night a few days ago, accompanied by a low-grade fever, and was sent to them just to be on the safe side. School-affiliated hospital.

Yunjin has never felt so helpless. At night, the phone in the dormitory rang again and again. Every time her roommate picked up, she held her breath, hoping that the person who was called to answer the phone would be herself, but not every time. Did her mother even forget her? I usually live quietly, and I can't see the difference between myself and others. At this time, I realize how sad I am. No one cares about her, and she doesn't know who to care about. It's like standing on an isolated island, alone. One person looked at Wang Yang, which was gradually coming over, but could not find the direction of the shore. Before going to bed, when she heard a roommate complaining to her boyfriend on the phone that her parents called her every day to force her to drink Banlangen, her throat choked and it hurt slightly.

After the roommate finally hung up the phone, Yunjin was about to fall asleep with a burst of sore eyes. The harsh phone rang again, and the person in the lower bunk took it impatiently and shouted, "Yunjin, yours. "

Yun Jinfei also seemed to get out of bed, picked up the phone, and was about to call out "Mom", but heard a voice that she didn't dare to imagine. He complained in a hurried tone: "What kind of rotten phone is your dormitory? Even if one battery is exhausted, you can't make a call." Yun Jin pressed the receiver tightly to her face, but didn't notice that her eyes were wet. Seeing that she didn't speak, he also After hesitating for a while, he said, "I just want to ask if you are okay, I... worry about you, nothing else... Yun Jin, what's wrong with you? Are you crying? Why are you crying? Don't cry for now, just talk... His voice became anxious, Yun Jin no matter how much, sobbing, letting the tears wet the receiver, he could only say one sentence: "Cheng Zheng..." Now he is her driftwood, her redemption.

"What the hell happened? Hey... Hey, hey" A loud electric current sounded, Yun Jin vaguely heard Cheng Zheng cursing, and then said another sentence, she didn't stop listening, she was about to ask, when she heard Duan Blind tone of the line. She quickly dialed back, and was surprised that she could dial the phone number that he had never called since he gave her so smoothly. The phone was connected, and the mechanical and standard female voice repeated in Chinese and English, "Sorry, the call you dialed is temporarily unavailable."

After getting up the next morning, the first thing she did was to dial the number from last night. She didn't even think about what to say after dialing, but just instinctively wanted to hear his voice. This time, there is a prompt to shut down.

Yun Jin took two classes in a state of restlessness. After ten o'clock, she went to the department office to input the scores of the test papers modified by the social psychology teacher into the computer. Half an hour later, the social psychology teacher couldn't bear to pick up a book and patted her: "Yunjin, are you not feeling well? This He Ning is 81 points, not 8100 points." "Oh, sorry, I This will be changed." The teacher took another look after a while, and said with a strange expression: "Are you sure you don't need to go back to rest? You changed his score to 18." Yun Jin corrected it again with a red face. , the counselor in the department walked into the office and said casually, "Hey, Yunjin, you are still here. I just heard that someone was looking for you at the school gate."

Yunjin was stunned for a moment, "Looking for me?" She suddenly stood up from the computer and threw a sentence, "Looking for me?" Someone was already outside. The remaining two teachers looked at each other in the office, "What's wrong with this child? He's not usually so reckless."

It was not a short distance to the main gate. When Yun Jin ran to the closed iron gate, she couldn't straighten her waist. She put one hand on her knee and grabbed the iron gate with the other to look out. Cheng Zheng, he also put his hand on the iron door and frowned, the first sentence was: "Why did you cry last night?" : "You lunatic."

The two people looking at each other in this way caused the old man at the gate to shake his head for a while. He avoided the expectant eyes of the two young people, waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me, the school has already notified me that you will not be allowed to enter without a pass."
