Lucky Cat
Zhou Xi went shopping with Fu Xuanhua and Yang Jinyang in the afternoon. He acted like a third wheel for several hours and only set off to the restaurant they had booked after buying a lot of things.
The weather was cold enough to turn on the air conditioner, but the hotel was warm even without it.
Tonight is the night when Yang Jinyang officially brings Fu Xuanhua home. Everyone knows it but hasn't revealed it, so they all take it very seriously and dress neatly.
Especially Zhang Lixia, she is used to staying in the laboratory, so she doesn't care about makeup or clothes. Once she puts on her white coat, she doesn't care about anything else.
This time, I specially bought a cheongsam that I hadn't worn for eight hundred years, permed my hair in a fashionable style, and put on some light makeup.
The atmosphere was very good throughout the meal. Zhang Lixia and Yang Wen were very satisfied with Fu Xuanhua. It was so sweet to see that brat Yang Jinyang was not hiding his feelings for Fu Xuanhua in front of the whole family.
Xu Shulan and Zhang Lixia both gave Fu Xuanhua gifts. Fu Xuanhua had already learned everything from Yang Jinyang and had a good chat with the elders. The more Zhang Lixia looked at Fu Xuanhua, the more she liked her. She felt that it was a blessing for their Yang family that her son could marry such a good girl in the future.
Yang Jinyang always wanted to bring Fu Xuanhua back, but they were both too busy and missed the time for vacation. It was Zhang Lixia who called him and said that Xu Shulan was in poor condition and hoped that the old lady could see Fu Xuanhua.
"Are you satisfied?" Zhong Yinan took a sip of wine, his face already turning a little red.
"Satisfied, satisfied. I feel relieved to see Yangyang find such a good girl!"
Xu Shulan never avoided a word and always told Zhou Xi that if she left, he must take good care of himself and not give up.
But how could she be satisfied? What about her precious granddaughter?
Time passed too fast, so fast that she could hardly bear it; time passed too slow, so slow that her child had not grown up yet.
"well……"
Zhou Xi's gaze fell on Xu Shulan's face. She had also drunk some wine, but she was not drunk at all. Her mind was terrifyingly clear.
One, two, three, Zhou Xi always counted silently in his mind, often over and over again, with no end.
It was obviously very hot in here, but she just felt a little cold, as if something was slipping away and she couldn't grasp it. Her heart was stuffy and her breathing felt like someone was holding it.
Zhou Xi saw Xu Shulan and Zhong Yinan saying something and smiling at her, but it was too hot, so she immediately looked away, not having the courage to look at them.
It is obvious that Xu Shulan is three years younger than Zhong Yinan, but when they sit together, it is obvious that Xu Shulan looks much more mature.
Xu Shulan understood her, how could she not understand Xu Shulan? She had long discovered that Xu Shulan's health had been getting worse since she entered high school.
She would wake up in the middle of the night and see the light in Xu Shulan's room still on for half the night. She would find that Xu Shulan's medication dosage was getting higher and higher, and she would see the fatigue on Xu Shulan's face...
She could do nothing and was selfish. She knew Xu Shulan was forcing herself to be uncomfortable, but she still hoped that Xu Shulan could stay with her.
After experiencing betrayal in her youth, the pain of losing her husband, the pain of losing her son, and having her wings broken by injuries, the star is really tired and is about to fall.
After dinner, Yang Jinyang asked the waiter to take a group photo of the family. Everyone was smiling happily.
Zhou Xi sat in the taxi, holding the photo. His right eyelid twitched wildly. He held Xu Shulan's dry hand and said, "Grandma..."
"I'm fine, I'm fine..." There was a layer of mist in Xu Shulan's eyes, and her hand touched Zhou Xi's head again and again.
Zhou Xi lowered his head, and smiled when he looked up: "Okay."
Zhong Yinan was standing at the back and couldn't help but turn around.
Zhou Xi had a fever without any symptoms.
When she woke up in the dormitory, there was no one there. She didn't know what time it was and her head hurt a lot.
Zhou Xi came to the conclusion that he was sick, and slowly thought about what to do next without a mobile phone.
She felt like a puppet, without a soul. With the last bit of her sanity, she propped herself up, washed, changed her clothes, and went out.
Did she become stupid because of the burn? Why does she want to laugh?
I can't even remember what year or month it is today. My head is full of jumping black and white blocks, like the broken TV I saw at my neighbor's house when I was a child.
She remembered it correctly. The dormitory building was locked during class time during the day and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will. If they wanted to go out, they had to find the dormitory manager.
Zhou Xi walked to the end of the corridor with cold sweat on his forehead, panting. His aunt was just at the door and asked, "It's half past eight."
It was the first time for her to attend a class. The wake-up announcement usually sounded at six o'clock, but she didn't hear it and no one called her.
"Classmate, what's wrong with you?" The dormitory manager observed that Zhou Xi looked very bad, his mouth was pale, his face was very red, his hair was disheveled, and he looked listless.
She also has to be in charge, and if anything happens to the students, they will be punished.
"Auntie, I have a fever. Can you lend me your phone to make a call?"
The dorm manager touched Zhou Xi's forehead and said, "It's so hot! It's terrible. Come on, come on..."
Maybe it was the fever, he had no strength, and when the dorm aunt stretched out her hand, Zhou Xi didn't react at all. Zhou Xi struggled to see the dorm aunt's mouth opening and closing...
Why is there no sound?
Emma, I'm seeing stars.
"Why!"
"you……"
Zhou Xi finally heard someone calling her, but she couldn't control her body...
"Milk……"
"grandmother……"
"don't want……"
"Tongtong!"
When Zhou Xi woke up again, he was lying in the hospital with a needle in his hand and cold liquid slowly being injected into his body. It was so cold, really so cold.
"Tongtong, you..."
Zhang Lixia saw the empty eyes of Zhou Xi and thought of something. She whispered in Zhou Xi's ear: "Tongtong, are you feeling better?"
"Okay..." Zhou Xi opened his mouth and found that his voice was hoarse.
"Much better."
"It's good that you woke up. Come and drink some water." Zhang Lixia helped Zhou Xi up and poured him a glass of warm water.
"You scared us to death! You almost went crazy with fever! You slept for a whole day and night. It was your dorm manager who brought you here. I heard your dorm manager say that you suddenly ran out by yourself, saying you had a fever, and then suddenly collapsed. She was scared!"
"Luckily, the weather is cold now and I wore plenty of clothes, so I didn't get hurt. Otherwise, what would I do?"
"When your dorm manager told me about this, I was confused. Didn't you say a few people had moved into your dorm? How come they didn't notice? What's going on?"
"Has Uncle Yang been here?" Zhou Xi seemed to wake up for a while, but was still fuzzy. The next second she fainted again.
"Oh, your Uncle Yang. He rushed over right after receiving the call. He just got home this morning. I'll be watching over you today."
As soon as Zhou Xi interrupted, Zhang Lixia completely forgot what she had just said.
"I don't want to drink anymore." Zhang Lixia took the cup of water, put it aside, and touched Zhou Xi's forehead, which was still a little warm. "The doctor said that as long as he wakes up, he'll be fine. You should take a break and lie down for a while. I'll go call the doctor..."
"grandmother……"
Zhang Lixia was stunned and held Zhou Xi's hand: "It's okay, I didn't tell her, don't worry."
Zhou Xi took a breath, his head still heavy and his body without any strength: "Okay."
After Zhang Lixia left, Zhou Xi found his cell phone on the bedside table, which he had clearly left at Gao Liyang's house.
Zhou Xi used a little force to grab the phone.
Zhang Lixia came back after a while. The doctor examined Zhou Xi and asked him to put a mercury thermometer under his armpit.
"It's okay, Xiaoxi, it's just a bacterial infection. You'll have a fever for a few days. Don't worry, just rest well in the hospital for a few days. I've already taken the leave." Zhang Lixia touched Zhou Xi's head.
well!
His face was still pale, and it felt like he had lost a lot of weight in just one or two days.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."
"I'm really angry when you say that. What polite words are there for a family?"
Zhou Xi forced a smile.
"That's right! By the way, Tongtong, three of your classmates came to see you once. One of them brought your phone with him. He's your deskmate, and he even said he took notes for you during the few days you were away."
Zhang Lixia chatted with Zhou Xi for a long time, asking her to relax and what she wanted to eat.
Zhou Xi could only move one hand, so he had to send a few voice messages to the group to report that he was safe.
Everyone should be in class at this point.
Zhou Xi stayed in the hospital for a week before being discharged. During that time, his brother and sister Fu came to see her after work. Gao Liyang and others came again and brought a bouquet of flowers.
Oh, and homework.
Zhang Lixia only told Zhou Xi the news that Xu Shulan and Zhong Yinan had passed away after she was discharged from the hospital.
The day after the meeting with Fu Xuanhua was arranged last week, the two of them went on a tour south with a tour group, saying that they had planned it long ago.
Zhou Xi already had a guess in his mind and chose to respect Xu Shulan's decision.
Xu Shulan is her grandmother, but she is herself first and foremost, and she has the right to arrange her own journey home.
After being discharged from the hospital, Zhou Xi immediately returned to school and immersed himself in busy studies. As long as he was tired of studying, he would not have time to think too much.
Like a dream, the second monthly exam is over.
Zhou Xi continued to perform stably and took first place.
After receiving the certificate, Zhou Xi ran to the window backstage of the auditorium and blew out a breath. A thin mist disappeared in the air in a moment.
Another cold winter is here, and the leaves on the trees have finally fallen off.
Zhou Xi finally discovered that she didn’t seem to feel the distinct change of seasons at school. She just put on her clothes every day and studied from morning to night.
After entering high school, she seemed to have never bought clothes seriously. She ordered school uniforms for spring, summer, autumn and winter year after year and didn't need any other clothes at all. When she had a month off occasionally, she felt strange wearing other clothes.
When it was snowing, she was writing a test paper in the classroom with a hot pack in her hand.
Someone suddenly noticed that it was snowing outside and turned into a screaming chicken, attracting more people's attention, and people in the classroom ran out one after another.
No matter when it snows, it is always a great attraction for students.
"Zhou Xiaoxi, let's go! Let's go out and play in the snow!"
Zhou Xi looked up blankly, and a face came into view. There was a brown scarf around the neck. At such a close distance...
"good."
The snowflakes fell on my head, and soon my hair turned white.
Gao Liyang walked on the road with his hands in his pockets, shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Xi. The people around them were chasing each other, which made them seem overly calm.
The snow on the ground was already quite thick and soft to step on. Four footprints were clearly imprinted on the snow, without any sound.
"It's the first snow of the second year." As Gao Liyang spoke, large clouds of water mist sprayed out.
"Well, you'll be seventeen soon." Zhou Xi sprayed out small puffs of water mist as he spoke.
"Have you thought about what birthday present to give me this year?"
Some snowflakes brushed against her eyelashes and hit her face. The sky was full of white. Zhou Xi suddenly remembered the birthday gift Xiao Xiaoyu gave her.
A painting of a sea of red roses is really beautiful.
"No."
What an honest baby! It can be said that he is still preparing. Gao Liyang kicked the snow under his feet.
Zhou Xi pressed her scarf. If she hadn't mentioned the time today and triggered a certain point, she would have almost forgotten that this semester was about to end.
"Then think about it carefully."
Gao Liyang took a deep breath, his cheeks puffed up, then he pursed his lips and exhaled directly.
Zhou Xi caught a glimpse of a bit of white mist and blinked his sore eyes.
Tilt head.
An idea flashed through my head, but unfortunately I didn't have my phone.
"good."
How about giving you a set of 53? I think it's great.
Zhou Xi looked down at his shoes. Some of the snowflakes that had fallen on them had already melted. Fortunately, his shoes were waterproof.
Not long after he recovered from his illness, Zhou Xi moved out of the dormitory and lived in Yang Jinyang's house, where he could have some peace and quiet.
When she left, the dormitory was as dead as a dead place, with no reaction at all. Zhou Xi didn't want to care about it anymore, it was pointless, she was so tired.
In order to avoid freezing to death, Gao Liyang wiped off the snow on his head, and then reached out to help Zhou Xi clear the snow off his head.
Zhou Xi was too lazy to take his warm hands out and did not stop Gao Liyang's actions.
"Don't worry."
"Um?"
:
"You've been depressed this month. You thought I didn't notice it?" Gao Liyang quickly put the hood of Zhou Xi's down jacket on him, and even pulled the edge of the hood to squeeze him in the middle, almost burying his face.
Zhou Xi was caught off guard and slipped on the ground due to inertia, and almost fell.
Small clusters of flames emerged. With so much energy, why didn't he train his abdominal muscles? She despised him. He had enough muscles just by drawing a cross. And he was like a dog, so smart that he had to say it out loud.
"Don't worry, I can do it. I've already prepared it."
"Hey, you've lost a lot of weight. It seems you haven't eaten enough snacks."
Zhou Xi was really curious, and it was quite impressive that he brought this up. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yeah, you ate it all, spit it out."
"I……"
Gao Liyang was accidentally injured and a snowball hit him on the back.
"I'm sorry, handsome!"
"fine."
"Flirting with other women."
"Wow! You put such a big hat on me, don't you feel guilty?" Gao Liyang covered his chest with his hands, looking very serious.
"You're not into philandering? I saw it. Someone even wrote you a love letter yesterday. Don't deny it. I saw that filth with my own eyes!"
Tsk! It’s still pink.
The two began to walk back.
"How can I compare to you? Your peach blossoms are dancing in front of me."
Sometimes Zhou Xi would suddenly touch something in the table, which was quite scary. But when he looked at it, he realized it was a letter, which had been sent to the wrong place.
Sometimes, there would be a bottle of strawberry yogurt, a box of fruit, etc. on the table.
It seems that the secret admirer is quite observant.
"Then why don't you just scare them away? You're so powerful. Who would dare to talk to you if you just sit there with a stern face?"
It's a secret that she doesn't like to laugh.
"You're right, it's not like you're like a lucky cat."
Zhou Xi looked up, and a snowflake fell right on his forehead.
It itched, then turned warm, turned into a puddle of water, slid down the pointed bridge of the nose, and settled on the lips.
"It looks like next year will be a bumper year."
"Yeah, let's go to your house to eat watermelon next year."
The two people were talking about irrelevant things, jumping around here and there, and it was impossible to tell where they were talking about. It was like nonsense, but it was interesting.
"We'll talk about it when we have a chance."
"Of course there is."
Zhou Xi said nothing and walked with his head down.
In the days leading up to the final exams, the snow fell heavier and refused to stop, so the school arranged for people to shovel snow regularly.
Everyone can hold on for a few more days and then go home.
But it seemed like God was playing a trick on them.
