Making Do

From high school to university, Liang Qiyun harbored a secret crush on Zhou Mingzheng for seven years.

In the eighth year, she started dating, and her boyfriend wasn't him.

Zhou Min...

Chapter 34

After the college entrance examination but before the results are released, it is undoubtedly the best time to relax for the candidates who have been mentally tense for a year.

Everything you wanted to eat, drink and do in the past year can be achieved during this period of time.

Liang Qiyun went home to rest for a day, and went to a rehabilitation hospital for long-term intensive training the next day.

She is looking forward to taking advantage of the three-month summer vacation to undergo rehabilitation training and adjust her physical condition as best as possible.

After three years of high school, my condition worsened as I got older, and coupled with the fact that the time I spent on rehabilitation training was decreasing year by year, my entire body was in a state of degeneration.

She now even has difficulty lifting her legs when walking.

It took nearly twenty days from the end of the college entrance examination to the release of the results.

Liang Qiyun knew in her heart that the results should not be too bad.

After the results are released, you need to fill in your application form.

She had actually thought it through. Even if her grades were not good enough, she could at least choose to go to a school in the same city as Zhou Mingzheng.

All she can do now is to train hard and get her body into the best condition.

By then, I will have more courage to fight with my parents and go to study in the north city.

The days go by.

Liang Qiyun remembers the day of June 15th very clearly.

She was groggy when she got up in the morning. After she stood up with the help of the bedside table, she was about to take a step when her right leg suddenly went weak.

The whole person fell straight down.

I felt dizzy, my right leg was bent from the knee, and pain spread from the sole of my foot upwards.

Because the altitude difference was so great, I felt dizzy and nauseous from my stomach upwards.

My butt hurts too.

Liang Qiyun's eyes were wet with pain. After she felt less dizzy, she shouted, "Mom! Come here quickly!"

Li Shufen almost exerted a lot of effort that day. She first took a low stool and placed it there, then carried her daughter to sit on it. After resting for a while, she then carried her daughter from the stool to the bed.

"Oh Yunyun, your feet and calves are all swollen."

"Let's go to the hospital right away."

She immediately called Liang Kangcheng, and the couple worked together to take Liang Qiyun to the hospital for orthopedic emergency treatment.

The doctor leaned over to take a look at Liang Qiyun's ankle, shook his head and sighed, "It's so swollen, it's most likely a fracture. I'll write you a prescription and go get an X-ray first."

"What?" The parents couldn't believe it. It only happened in a split second.

Li Shufen was crying, but she didn't dare to delay. Liang Kangcheng's eyes were red, and he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble the doctor."

Liang Qiyun was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She sat in the wheelchair she rented when she entered the hospital. After hearing the doctor's words, she just lowered her head slightly.

Dad Liang Kangcheng carried her to the imaging bed, helped her lie down, and went out to wait.

The cold bed and the rumbling sound of machines.

"Liang Qiyun, right? The ankle part is slightly to the right." The doctor's instructions came over the microphone.

Liang Qiyun tried to move her right foot, but her ankle was in severe pain and she was unable to press down to the right.

"It may be a little painful, just bear with it for a while." The doctor came over and helped move his hands, "It's okay, just hold on."

She quickly walked back to the cubicle and operated the machine.

The rumbling sound of moving machinery filled my ears.

Liang Qiyun's right cheek was pressed against the cold filming bed, and only then did it feel a little more real.

She fell down when she got out of bed and was taken to the hospital. The doctor said that she might have a broken bone.

"It's most likely a fracture."

The emotions that Liang Qiyun had been suppressing were released at this moment. The corners of her eyes turned red and she quietly moved her right hand to wipe away the tears that were about to burst out.

Fortunately, the result was good.

There was no broken bone, just swelling in the foot and torn ligaments. After applying plaster and bandages, Liang Qiyun returned home to rest.

I have to apply medicine and change bandages every day, and my mother Li Shufen can do it for me.

She just stayed on the bed in the room to rest, and only went to the toilet in a wheelchair to take a shower. She even ate by setting up a table on the bed.

An ordinary person who breaks his right leg can still move by jumping.

Her right leg is where most of her strength is usually borne.

She was injured and had no strength at all. She could only rely on a wheelchair and move to the toilet with the help of her mother.

In fact, during the week she lay in bed, Liang Qiyun still had expectations.

She knew she would be fine soon, her right leg was no longer as swollen, and it didn't hurt as much when she landed on the ground as it did at the beginning.

She also knew that the college entrance examination results would be released soon.

June 20th.

The official date and time of the results were announced, and with the push of information on the Internet, the entire network knew about it and was looking forward to it.

June 24th, the day before the college entrance examination results were released.

Li Shufen helped Liang Qiyun remove the bandage and used a wet towel to wipe the medicated oil off the wound.

She looked at him expectantly, "Yunyun, please stand up and walk around to see if your feet still hurt."

Liang Qiyun was also excited. She had been lying in bed for nearly a week and now felt like she had been released from prison.

She nodded, and as before, she leaned forward and stood up, leaning on the bedside table with her left hand. But just as she was about to take a step, Liang Qiyun was surprised to find that she couldn't move at all.

My legs felt as if they were filled with lead and I couldn't move them no matter how hard I tried.

"Mom, help me." Liang Qiyun shouted subconsciously, feeling a little panicked.

"Okay." Li Shufen smiled as she saw her daughter stand up successfully. She thought her daughter was afraid of repeating the last accident and was being cautious. She walked to her daughter's left side and supported her hand.

Liang Qiyun leaned most of the strength of her left body on her mother's arm, and slightly turned her body. She was able to barely lift her right leg one centimeter off the ground and took a small step forward.

When she was about to step forward with her left leg, she had to use her right leg to bear the weight, but Liang Qiyun found that she didn't dare to step down at all.

Because she knew that if she stepped on it, her legs would go weak and she would fall.

Li Shufen had been watching from the side, and saw her daughter take a small step for a long time, but she didn't take the next step. She couldn't help but open her mouth to ask, and then she saw her daughter raise her head, tears blurred her fair face, and she heard her crying.

"Mom, I feel like...I really can't leave."

It was still the same tertiary hospital, in the neurology clinic where the diagnosis was made that year, and a familiar yet unfamiliar doctor was checking Liang Qiyun’s muscle strength.

She was much more dignified than she was ten years ago. She was used to this kind of situation. She just sighed and said, "It should be because of the injury this week that I reduced my exercise. The muscles in my legs have obviously degenerated and I can't walk all of a sudden."

"Although many pharmaceutical companies have begun to develop drugs internationally, this process is bound to be a long one. At this stage, because the patient can still lift his legs and move forward, but he is not strong enough, the parents can try to take him to a rehabilitation hospital for more training. While the disease has just deteriorated, he may be able to recover a little."

The girl who should have had a bright future suddenly became unable to walk. Even though the doctor was used to seeing this in the hospital, he still couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Liang Qiyun sobbed silently.

She could never have imagined that her body's deterioration would come so suddenly.

She might...maybe she won't be able to walk in the future.

Liang Kangcheng and Li Shufen seemed to be much more silent. They were sad, but they didn't dare to show it in front of their children. They had to stay calm at this time and hold on tightly to the doctor's last bit of uncertain advice.

I drove my daughter directly to the usual rehabilitation hospital.

Although Dr. Huang was surprised, he quickly adjusted the rehabilitation training plan for the next three days.

Liang Qiyun was more cooperative and active this time than ever before. Her desire to survive overcame everything else. If she really couldn't leave, everything else she hoped for would be gone.

After discussing with her husband, Li Shufen went directly to the rehabilitation hospital to complete the hospitalization procedures, went home to pack her clothes, and planned to accompany her daughter for exercise.

She sat beside the chair and watched Yunyun try to do the same movements as before under the guidance of the rehabilitation therapist, starting with the simplest leg lift.

A mother always believes in her children the most. She has accompanied her daughter to various hospitals for rehabilitation treatment in the past and has survived all these years. She will also survive this time.

On the day when the college entrance examination results were released, Liang Qiyun was still in the training room. Under the guidance of a rehabilitation therapist, she held on to a wheeled wall pusher and tried to take steps.

When it was time for lunch, her old cell phone kept vibrating.

Since the day she couldn't leave, Liang Qiyun has not contacted anyone.

But when her mother Li Shufen asked her if she needed anything else to bring from home, she said, "Mom, can you help me get the old phone on the bedside table?"

When she was too tired to hold on at night, she would always look at the notes in the address book on the old man’s phone.

She looked at the text messages and QQ messages Zhou Mingzheng had sent her a long time ago, and drew strength from them.

【serendipity】

The beauty of unexpected encounters.

Every time these beautiful words linger in Liang Qiyun's heart, they bring a warm current, nourishing her slightly anxious heart.

Calm down and continue doing rehabilitation exercises.

Liang Qiyun turned on her old phone and saw that the class group of Senior 36 was very lively, with someone even reciting the Diamond Sutra in the group.

Then in the private chat, there are messages from Huang Xiyun and Liu Xiaoyan.

They were all talking to her about the college entrance examination results.

The results will be out at 12 noon.

Liang Qiyun glanced at the upper right corner of her cell phone. It was now 11:45.

The provincial admissions office just announced the score lines.

If it weren't for their sudden greetings, Liang Qiyun would have even forgotten about it.

The college entrance examination results that I had once looked forward to so much, and everything that would happen in the future, seemed to have become unimportant.

If she couldn't even walk, how could she go to see him?

However, after Liang Qiyun digested the information and ate a mouthful of rice, she still forced a smile and said to Li Shufen, "Mom, the college entrance examination results will be released at twelve o'clock. There is no need to check it online. My dad's phone should have received the information."

"Oh, I've been so busy these days that I forgot about it." Li Shufen was shocked and slapped her forehead in annoyance. She glanced at the time on her phone and quickly called Liang Kangcheng.

A bell rang, not far away.

Liang Kangcheng hurried over, holding a large rice pot in his hand. He smiled and sat down and said, "Luckily I made it in time. I got my lunch from the company cafeteria after work and came here."

He looked at the food on the small table and quickly opened all the food he had brought.

It contains Liang Qiyun’s favorite braised pork and stuffed eggplant.

"Look at you, you're sweating all over. Hurry up and wipe it with a tissue." Li Shufen handed him a tissue. "Hey, I just heard Yunyun say that the results will be out at twelve o'clock. It's only a matter of minutes. I forgot about it these days because I was so busy."

Liang Kangcheng wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a smile, "I remember this. Didn't I come here specially?"

Liang Qiyun was sitting aside and was stunned for a moment as she listened. She didn't expect that her father still remembered it and came over specially.

He came over as soon as he got off work these past two days. She had advised him, but Liang Kangcheng said, "Even if I can't help, it's good for Dad to watch from the side."

As he was speaking, there was a ding-dong sound. It was Liang Kangcheng's cell phone ringing. It was the sound of an incoming text message.

The attention of the three people was immediately drawn to it.

Liang Kangcheng took out his phone and opened the text message, his hands shaking with excitement, "Yunyun scored 645! 645 in liberal arts!"

"Really?" Li Shufen's eyebrows were immediately curved with joy. She quickly stood up and took her husband's phone to look at it. "It's true. Our Yunyun is really great."

This news is exciting enough. 645 in liberal arts and 645 in science are completely different concepts. With this score, if you are lucky, you can get into the top 50 in the province.

Liang Qiyun finally smiled with relief, feeling very satisfied. At least she had done it.

Later, she also saw her scores, provincial ranking, and scores in each subject. She got the highest score in English, which was a difficult subject before.

Teacher Li sent a message in the class group, asking us to send a screenshot of our grades via private message, and also told us to go to school three days later in the afternoon to fill out our application forms.

Although applications are now filled out after the exam, in order to maximize the rationality of applications, the school still insists that candidates and parents discuss and then go to the school computer room to fill out the application.

Liang Qiyun is still staying in the hospital for rehabilitation training, accompanied by her mother.

Regarding the issue of volunteering, Liang Kangcheng also talked about this when he came to talk to the mother and daughter the day after the college entrance examination.

"Yunyun's score means we don't have to worry. We can apply directly to Jiangnan University. Any major is fine. Just choose the major that Yunyun liked the most before, which is...archival management." Li Shufen was very happy when she talked about this.

Liang Kangcheng also nodded. "Although this major is a little unpopular, it still has good prospects for future development and is suitable for Yunyun. Jiangda is the only university in the south that offers this major, so it must have its own characteristics."

This answer was Liang Qiyun's dream before she entered high school.

She really likes Jiangnan University and likes this major that sounds a bit unpopular.

But because she met Zhou Mingzheng, she had a university she wanted to go to more.

She tried hard to get closer to him.

Liang Qiyun asked quietly, "Mom and Dad, I can actually go to Qingdao University with this score."

Once these words were spoken, it was like a time bomb that was suddenly discovered in the bustling market, and the originally heated discussion fell silent.

"Is it the Qing University in North City? Where does Yunyun want to apply?" Liang Kangcheng spoke first, and he asked as calmly as possible.

It was the first time that Liang Qiyun saw her loving father so serious. She suddenly became uncertain, but still nodded slightly.

My parents talked a lot that day.

"Yunyun, the north is too cold. Our climate is considered warm, but we can't stand the winter. We're worried that you won't be able to stand it in the north."

"If you study at Jiang University, if you need anything, just give me a call and your mom and I will be there anytime. But if you go to Qingdao University, even if you book a flight directly, it will take at least seven or eight hours to get to the city and school. It's really too far."

"We know you've tried very hard, but it's still unknown whether your body can recover. If you stay at Jiangda, it will be convenient for your mother and I to take care of you."

"You've always liked Jiangda's archival management major, so why don't you choose it?"

"From childhood to adulthood, as long as it is what you want, your mother and I have always agreed to it unconditionally. So... this time, your parents are begging you, stay in Jiangda, okay?"

The day of filling out the application form.

Liang Qiyun is still staying in the hospital for rehabilitation training. She can now barely walk a few steps forward with the help of the wall.

The rehabilitation therapist said that if everything goes well, I should be able to recover to two-thirds of my previous strength in two months.

She didn't dare let her former classmates see her current appearance, and was also afraid that she would regret it and change her choice at the last minute. It was Liang's father who went to the school to fill out the application form on her behalf.

The campus of L Middle School was still so quiet in June. The sound of reading aloud could be heard from the first and second grade classrooms, while light laughter could be heard from the third grade classroom from time to time.

There are only two information rooms in the school, and only two classes can go in to fill out the forms at the same time period. The grade groups are arranged in order from class one to class twentieth.

Liang Kangcheng arrived early. He always put his daughter's affairs first, so he simply took a leave of absence to come here.

After hearing the situation, Teacher Li took him directly to the information room. He couldn't help but sigh, "We originally thought that Qiyun would choose Qingdao University based on her grades."

If it were any other student, they would definitely be persuaded to reconsider. With one more student admitted to Qingdao University, the reputation of L Middle School would be enhanced.

But Liang Qiyun's situation is special, so Teacher Li can only feel regretful.

There happened to be one seat left in the last row of the information room. Teacher Li led Liang Kangcheng over and said, "Mr. Liang, just use this computer to fill out the form. I have to go back to class and talk to the students about some things, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li."

Liang Kangcheng occasionally heard the discussions of students around him, asking each other where to apply, and couldn't help but think that if his own Yunyun was in good health, he would support her wherever she wanted to go.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

He opened the website, logged in with the account and password he had copied, quickly filled in a few strings of numbers, selected his major, saved the information, and logged out of the account.

Liang Kangcheng stood up and prepared to leave. He looked to the left and saw two tall and handsome boys also sitting there filling out their applications.

The boy on the far right seemed to notice the movement here and turned his head. The boy's face was full of vigor and vigor, and even his eyebrows were full of unruly and wantonness. He must have done well in the exam.

Liang Kangcheng felt strangely familiar with the face. He smiled and nodded as a greeting, then turned and left.

Yunyun is still waiting in the hospital.

He had to go back and tell her that the application had been filled out.
