They sat and chatted for a while on the beach, and Zhu Sui'an suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen snow?"
"I haven't seen it. I was born and raised in the south." Zhu Changyu said, patting his chest.
Xu Yangyang retorted, "You haven't seen the world yet, and you're so proud."
"Have you seen it?"
"No." Xu Yangyang threw a shell into the sea and nudged Lin Xiao next to her with her shoulder. "Xiao Xiao, you must have seen it. I remember you said you could ski."
"Um."
Lin Qiao had seen snow before. Ever since Lin Dayong's entrepreneurial success and the company's thriving success, with highly educated professionals pouring in applications, his pressure had eased considerably, and he could focus more on spending time with her, taking her skiing in Harbin every winter.
"We have seen the sea together, let's go to Jinghe to see the snow together in the future! I think the snow in Jinghe is the most beautiful." Zhu Sui'an said seriously.
Xuelin Qiao from Jinghe had also seen it, but she wanted to watch it with them.
"Everyone agrees! Then we have a date, and we can't break it!"
Everyone said, "Agreed."
Lin Luo met Fu Xingchuan's gaze and said firmly, "I agree."
Before leaving, Lin Luo looked back at the sea for the last time. She hoped that one day they could come back here again, even though it might be many, many years later.
That night, Lin Luo couldn't sleep, her thoughts racing, all about one person. She found it unbelievable that Fu Xingchuan actually liked her, like a dream come true.
When she woke up, she still felt warm. After breakfast, they returned to Nan'an, still sitting in the same seats as before, with Lin Luo sitting in the back row by the window.
Zhu Sui'an sat in the middle and fanned herself with Fu Xingchuan's poetry collection because she felt too hot. After a while, she was tired and fell asleep, and the book fell at Lin Luo's feet.
Lin Luo picked it up and glanced at the front. Everyone was asleep. She quietly flipped through the pages, turning to a certain page. Her hand paused for a long time, her heart burning.
She didn't know when she fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, the door next to her was already open. Fu Xingchuan was standing outside. She asked drowsily, "Are we there yet?"
Fu Xingchuan moved closer to her, and she saw his long eyelashes with distinct strands, and her face turned red again.
He put his hand on her forehead and said, "You have a fever."
"Really? I said it was still hot even after turning on the air conditioner. It turns out there's a stove next to you." Zhu Sui'an also touched her forehead to compare the temperature.
Xu Yangyang said to Fu Xingchuan, "I'm going to call her mother. Can you carry her in first?"
"Um."
Before Lin Luo could react, she was picked up by Fu Xingchuan, and Tong Yun followed beside her with a worried look on his face.
It turned out that she was not shy, but sick. She closed her eyes in Fu Xingchuan's arms.
"It should be pneumonia caused by choking on a few mouthfuls of sea water. It is recommended to be hospitalized for observation for a few days." When Lin Luo woke up, it was already dark, and her body was still warm. She vaguely heard the conversation between Du Yunyan and the doctor at the door.
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
She coughed a few times, and Du Yunyan turned around and walked past two beds to her side.
Seeing that she was wearing a mask, Lin Qiao opened a thermal lunch box on the cabinet next to the bed, helped her up, and set up the table. "This is the porridge made by your Aunt Li."
She coughed again and said hoarsely, "My throat hurts and I can't eat."
"You deserve it. You knew you were in poor health, yet you insisted on going to the beach. It's your dad who spoiled you into this playful habit!" She was clearly angry. "School is about to start in a few days. You're already a senior. Your grades are already bad, and you're going to waste time again."
"I already have work to do, and I had to come all the way here to take care of you." There was someone else in the bed next to her. She lowered her voice and pointed at the mask. "I'm also worried about infecting your brother and Uncle Tang. They're always causing me trouble."
"I'm sorry." Lin Luo pulled the hand that was receiving the IV. Du Yunyan noticed that the bottle of medicine was empty and pressed the button to let the nurse come over.
"Eat it while it's hot. I've come all the way here and I'm exhausted. I'll go out and buy you something else to eat later." She said as she touched the outer wall of the thermal box.
"Okay." Lin Luo scooped a few mouthfuls into her mouth, but it was hard to swallow, as if there was a razor blade in her throat.
The nurse came over soon and changed the medicine bottle for Lin Luo. She put down the spoon, not knowing where to look.
There was a TV in the middle of the wall facing the bed, broadcasting the news: "Around 6:00 a.m. local time on August 24th, a little girl accidentally fell into the water at Huaining Beach. A high school girl who was visiting saw the situation and, regardless of her own safety, jumped into the sea to save her. The girl was eventually rescued, and the high school girl quietly left. Let us applaud her brave act."
Her figure was on the TV screen. She looked at the lower right corner, which was marked: Video material provided by enthusiastic citizen Mr. Fu.
Lin Qi curled the corners of his mouth.
Du Yunyan asked the nurse, "How many bottles of medicine do you need to inject today?"
"And a bottle of anti-inflammatory."
Du Yunyan glanced at Lin Luo and said, "It's going to be nine or ten o'clock after this fight. It's really a living hell."
Lin Luo ignored her and watched TV.
The old lady on the bed next to me said, "Why did it switch to Huaicheng TV? I want to watch Nan'an TV."
Her old man picked up the remote control to change the channel. He accidentally glanced at Lin Xiao and asked, "Hey, little girl, is this you?"
Du Yunyan heard the conversation and looked at the TV. It was indeed Lin Luo.
"Oh, that child is about the same age as my granddaughter. I can't even hold her now." The old lady turned to Lin Luo and said, "Look, you didn't have much strength, but you managed to save her. It's really amazing."
"So you were hospitalized because you saved someone. If you accept an interview, everyone will praise you, and the government might also pay attention to it. You do good deeds without leaving your name. You have an extraordinary mind, little girl." The old man gave her a thumbs up.
Lin Luo nodded cautiously, looking at the back of Du Yunyan's head. What was she thinking right now? Saving someone else's child only to have her own family suffer. Would she be even angrier?
Du Yunyan didn't come back to her senses until the news was over. Lin Luo was struggling to swallow the porridge. She took the spoon away from Lin Luo's hand and said, "Stop eating."
Lin Xiao became nervous, but she just asked calmly: "Can you swim?"
"Dad taught me."
When she was little, people would always ask her, "If Mom and Dad fell into the water and you could only save one person, who would you save?" She would always answer Mom. When people asked her why, she didn't say it was because Dad could swim, but because Mom loved her more than Dad.
Because she lived in a loving family, she knew how to love others since she was a child.
She learned to swim so that if one day her parents really fell into the water, she could save her mother, and then save her father.
Du Yunyan didn't say anything. The mask covered her expression. Lin Luo couldn't tell whether she was angry or not. The pair of eyes that were exposed gradually turned red. She suddenly found that she and Du Yunyan were quite similar.
Du Yunyan heard from the old man in the next bed that there was a pear seller at the hospital entrance, which was good for the lungs, so she went out to buy some for her late at night.
Lin Luo knew that she was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Before leaving, Du Yunyan even gave her her phone and said, "Your friends must be worried. Send them a message."
"Okay." After she left, Lin Luo turned on her phone, and immediately the messages everyone sent her popped up.
Xu Yangyang: [I should have drank a few sips of sea water with you earlier. My mom said she didn't blame me a couple of days ago, but as soon as I walked home she started scolding me... Are you okay?]
Tiger: [I'm fine.]
Tong Yun: [Auntie Du was afraid I'd catch something in the hospital, so she kicked me out. 婋婋, when you wake up, send me a message. I'm worried about you.]
Tiger: [It's okay, don't worry.]
Zhu Zhu Xia: [Lin Luo, I, Zhu Changyu, will crown you my goddess from today on.]
Lao Hu: [I am honored.]
Zhu Sui'an: [Lin Luo, being sick isn't easy. You need to strengthen your immune system from now on. Aunt Zhou's chicken soup is so delicious. I'll have someone send it to you.]
Lao Hu: [Thank you.]
Ruan Ye: [My mom asked me to ask if the porridge she made was delicious?]
Lao Hu: [It's delicious. Thank her for me.]
There was another person, Lin Qi, waiting for him to send a message.
The moonlight in the sky was hazy. As she looked at it, her eyes began to blur. Perhaps it was the effect of the medicine, and she fell asleep in a short while.

Du Yunyan came back with a bag of pears. Just as she was about to reach the door of the ward, the plastic bag containing the pears suddenly broke and the pears fell to the ground. She quickly squatted down to pick them up.
Someone passing by also squatted down to help her. She picked up some pears and held them in her arms. When she stood up, she saw that the person who helped her was dressed in black, with a hat and a mask. He was tall, with long arms and legs, and his arms were filled with a lot of pears.
"Young man, I can't hold it in my hands. Can you help auntie put it in the ward?"
He nodded.
Du Yunyan opened the door and walked in. Lin Luo was already asleep.
Her phone screen was still on, as if she had set the extended screen-on function specifically, waiting for a message from someone.
If you get closer, you can see the chat interface with Ruan Ye.
"Young man." Du Yunyan saw that the man seemed to be looking at Lin Luo, so she quickly stood in front of him and said cautiously, "Young man, just help Auntie put it here."
Fortunately, the man did not do anything out of the ordinary. He put down the pear and left, and he was very gentle when he closed the door.
Du Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief.
She exited the chat with Ruan Ye and returned to the QQ homepage. She noticed two pinned messages. The top one she recognized was from Lin Dayong, and the one below it was unknown, but she saw an unsent draft message from Lin Luo: [The moonlight is beautiful today.]
Du Yunyan didn't click on any of them. She quit QQ, turned off her phone and charged it.
Lin Luo turned over and the quilt fell off her body. Du Yunyan covered her up, touched her head, and said with a sob: "Mom, I'm sorry for you. Thank you for growing up well."
Du Yunyan slept on the edge of the bed all night and woke up at seven o'clock. She walked out of the ward to breathe some fresh air. When she was walking in the hospital lobby, she suddenly saw a familiar figure. She recognized him as Fu Xingchuan, the bastard grandson of the Zhu family.
He looked quite depressed. Did he beat someone up again and put him in the hospital? Du Yunyan couldn't understand why Ruan Ye wanted to play with such a person. When Lin Luo said she wanted to study with Fu Xingchuan, she was against it.
I don't know what that kid is up to.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the nurse came to give her an injection and Lin Luo woke up. Du Yunyan brought her breakfast. Her throat felt a little better, but she still felt uncomfortable.
She took a few bites and put down her chopsticks. Du Yunyan did not force her to eat.
She picked up the phone beside her, but Fu Xingchuan still didn't send her a message.
Du Yunyan peeled a pear for her. She took a bite and found it a little bitter, but she didn't tell Du Yunyan.
Around nine o'clock, thinking Fu Xingchuan would be awake by then, Lin Qi deleted the draft and sent him a message: "I saw the news. Thank you."
About an hour later, he replied: [Thanks to you, I also did a good deed.]
Lin Luo smiled and typed in the dialog box: [Wait until I’m better…]
Before she finished typing, Fu Xingchuan sent another message: [A friend like me is loyal enough, right?]
Lin Luo's smile froze on her face and she deleted the words she had just typed.
My mind went blank for a while before I replied, "Yeah."
