The day after talking to Director Guan, Sun Ruiyang went back to his hometown, and Qiao Lin went to the station to see him off. At that time, he had a cold, his nose could not be stopped, his cheeks were red from coughing, and he looked very serious.

At that time, Jolene did not know that he was frozen and cold, and told him to take his medicine on time and go home to recuperate. Sun Ruiyang smiled reluctantly and said to her: "Have a good New Year, and wait for my brother to take you to live a good life." ”

He wanted to kiss Jolene on the cheek, but he was afraid of infecting her, so he pulled on his mask and set out on the journey home alone. In the days he came home, his voice was always hoarse, but he always said, it's okay, it's much better.

Later, Chen Yun called Qiao Lin and complained that Sun Ruiyang always hid in the room and did not come out, and worked all night to revise the paper. "Linlin, his closest person is you, didn't he tell you anything? Why is he so stressed?"

Jolene didn't know the details, she only knew that her boyfriend had always been under a lot of pressure. Chen Yun complained again: "I knew that I wouldn't let him come back, let's go to Beijing to accompany him for the New Year." In order to save time, he was so busy every day that I was going to die of distress. ”

"Aunt Chen, he didn't go home for the New Year last year, and he made you worried, and he was very sad. Just let him accompany you, just be busy for the next few days. ”

Chen Yun sighed for a long time, annoyed that he couldn't help, and finally said with a crying voice: "I regret it, I shouldn't have taught him to be so strong...... If he is a little weaker, he should also turn to us for help, so that he will not carry everything on his own. ”

The first time Jolene heard such a "regret", it turned out that the child was too strong, and the parents would fall into another kind of helplessness.

After the New Year, Sun Ruiyang returned to school. People gained three pounds during the New Year, but he was good, so thin that his cheeks were sunken. He was still wearing a mask, coughing non-stop, and the cold didn't relieve much.

Seeing him like this, Jolene naturally remembered when she was a child. He wore a mask all day long, lying on the balcony of his house, watching his friends laughing and playing downstairs. He spent his entire childhood like that.

He never wanted to be a genius boy, he didn't want to play Go and puzzle games with his father at home, and he didn't want to become a famous math king...... He just wants to get out of his home like a clean room, take off his mask, and play with his friends.

When she grew up, Qiao Lin recalled that if Sun Ruiyang was replaced by her, she would definitely accumulate a lot of resentment about life, she should be irritable, she should cry and make a fuss at every turn, torture her parents to exhaustion, and she should ask God again and again, why is it me who gets sick......

However, she couldn't find him like that in her memory, he swallowed all kinds of bitterness of fate at a young age, and gave birth to gentle and polite flowers to embellish his slightly pale life.

He was too sensible, which made Aunt Chen regret it very much. His resignation to fate also made his partners feel very distressed. Wei Chenglin remembered watching "Water Margin" in his childhood, Lin Chong was so angry that he vomited blood and died, and he was so angry that he almost jumped up and smashed the TV. Life is short, and if you don't accept it, you can do it. And Sun Ruiyang is too tolerant, Wei Chenglin is often worried, what if he is angry like Lin Chong?

Qiao Lin asked him why he couldn't live in peace when he went home for the New Year, and if there was something to hide from her? Sun Ruiyang said simply: "Let me change my surname, I have to change it and show her." Otherwise, even if she signed me, she might not let me graduate. "That's it?"

Sun Ruiyang nodded against his will: "That's it, nothing else." ”

The graduation ceremony is in a few days, since she has signed, what else can she do? Qiao Lin didn't want her boyfriend to fight so hard, but she persuaded it too late, Sun Ruiyang had already collapsed due to pneumonia.

Considering that Qiao Lin was about to take the exam, Sun Ruiyang didn't want her to accompany her in bed, what if she was infected? But what did he say, how could his little Qiao girl leave him alone?

In addition to his girlfriend, the one who worries him the most is his mother. As soon as Chen Yun heard the news, he rushed over all the way. She asked a friend to rent a house and insisted on staying with her son to take care of him.

Facing the mother who was so nervous that she was at a loss, Sun Ruiyang couldn't cry or laugh: "You stay with me, what should I do with the baby?"

"She's grown up, and besides, your dad will take care of her. You're not in good health, she'll understand. ”

"Mom, it's because you think like this that the baby is becoming more and more disobedient!" Sun Ruiyang persuaded bitterly: "You have spent too much energy on me, and she won't care about the baby at all." After the New Year, she is only sixteen years old, how do you make her fully understand?"

Obviously, Chen Yun suddenly understood something, and was speechless for a while. But after a moment, she wiped away her tears again: "You kid, it's all like this, thinking about yourself is not enough, and you have to think about others?"

Sun Ruiyang smiled and said, "I'm thinking of my sister, how can she be someone else?"

Her son couldn't get rid of her, so Chen Yun was very determined to live in Beijing and stay until her son's graduation ceremony. No matter how hurried she was, Chen Yun still had a very light smell of perfume. Every time he smells that smell, Sun Ruiyang feels very relieved.

It was originally my mother's perfume, but fortunately it was not given to the surname Guan, and that bottle of perfume was still the most suitable for my mother.

When his situation improved, Chen Yun specially took him to the mall to buy him a new suit and let his son attend the graduation ceremony in style. Sun Ruiyang said that he has two or three suits in his closet, and he basically doesn't wear them much, so he doesn't need to waste them. He's almost thirty, and he doesn't need his mother to buy clothes for him.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "I am willing to dress up my son! I want to wear new clothes for the New Year, and I have to wear them even more on such a major occasion." There must be a sense of ritual to make life better!"

With such a good mother, Sun Ruiyang can't complain about the unfairness of fate.

After ordering a new suit for him, Chen Yun took him to a women's clothing store: "It's about to be spring, I want to buy two dresses for Qiao Lin! A girl of this age has to wear some bright colors to look good...... When you dress up beautifully, you'll be in a better mood!"

Mom always spoke with a Shanghainese accent, which sounded soft and comfortable. Sun Ruiyang was about to tell his mother that he would buy it for Qiao Lin, but as soon as he looked up, he saw someone he didn't want to see.

Tian Miao and her mother were shopping, the mother and daughter were trying on clothes with a smile and a smile, and the clerk was also laughing with them. In the eyes of outsiders, they are an ordinary mother and daughter, but Sun Ruiyang knows how many people's lives they have destroyed without guilt.

The clip Sun Ruiyang told Qiao Lin was only up to the moment he met Ms. Guan, and as for what the two of them talked about, Sun Ruiyang didn't want anyone to know.

Now that she had made an appointment to meet and talk about Wen, Ms. Guan still pretended to say something, but Sun Ruiyang also expected that according to her level, it was impossible to put forward any constructive suggestions. He listened to whatever she said.

"I can stamp your paper, but you have to change it, you have to show me sincerity. Otherwise, I still have the right to let you make a second defense, or postpone your graduation. ”

What is this level of threat? Sun Ruiyang immediately agreed: "According to the suggestions of other judges, I have already revised some of them. I will definitely give full consideration to the question you said, and I will definitely let you see the sincerity. ”

Ms. Guan nodded with satisfaction, but she turned the pen and said, "This is not enough, I know that you still have some things in your hands, and if you want me to sign, you must always be more sincere." ”

Hearing this, Sun Ruiyang felt sick to his stomach: "I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't understand what a student in my hands will have." ”

"Sun Ruiyang, you are very smart and have a good way. Ms. Guan smiled: "You have never missed class, and you can easily take leave for an internship in the hospital, but this time last year, you disappeared for so long...... Don't tell me, you're just out for a walk. ”

Sun Ruiyang couldn't tell her the truth, his mind turned quickly, first he had to tighten his lips, pretending to be very embarrassed. Director Guan stared at him closely, and in this tense nerve war, she couldn't be negligent at all.

"What's the matter, Mr. Sun, if I'm not mistaken, you really got something very dirty......, right? The kind of thing that is used to plot against other people. ”

Sun Ruiyang still didn't say a word, just as the temperature of the air conditioner came up, his frozen cheeks itched badly, and they turned a lot red, which made him extremely embarrassed. Director Guan finally straightened his face and slammed the pen on the table. Sun Ruiyang raised his head in shock, and before she asked, he trembled and said, "Don't be angry, can't I recruit it?"

…… Recruit?

Director Guan frowned, thinking to himself, now is not the time to pick words.

"I told you that Dr. Zhang committed suicide, and I felt guilty and wanted to do something for him...... So, I went to his alma mater, and his hometown......"

"That's all?"

Sun Ruiyang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and glanced at Director Guan timidly. She still looked solemn and refused to believe it. Sun Ruiyang thought to himself, then...... It's good to show a little more timidity.

He picked his fingers and hesitated not to speak, Director Guan slapped the table again, and he said: "I finished his doctoral dissertation for him, and I traveled a lot to visit those who worked with him. ”

"That's all?"

"I swear, that's all. ”

Before Director Guan put down his pen, he sneered again: "Then what do you swear?"

This time, Sun Ruiyang really panicked, a female professor, actually really believed in these curses? He paused and said, "If it's more than that, then let me stay sick." ”

……

When he met her while shopping, Sun Ruiyang was still cold. He touched his heart, wondering if the curse would come true. He sighed, he was really gambling with his life. Is it really worth it to exchange a signature at such a price?

He couldn't find an answer, but he didn't want to take half a step into the store again, and he left without looking back, pulling his confused mother.
