Chapter 162: I don't want to go through it again

In the heart of London, huge billboards are looping between the new Summer Dream campaigns, some stopping to watch and others turning a blind eye.

This season's new collections have caused an international sensation, with top models wearing new clothes with Chinese elements, leaning lightly on the railing by the Thames River, looking out into the distance.

The sunlight shines lightly on the body from the side, and the light and shadow alternate between light and dark, making the original picture more textured.

On London Bridge in the background, there are people walking casually, some holding cameras to take pictures, some waving to pleasure boats, and some pushing wheelchairs.

The pictures are very rich, and you can feel relaxed and happy with it.

When it was time for the start of school, Lin Xia submitted his thesis, but he didn't expect to submit it in the morning, and received a call from Professor Steven in the afternoon.

“summer! Is it convenient to come to my office now? Professor Steven asked, in a relaxed tone.

"Okay, Professor Steven, I'll be right away!" Lin Xia said, and Emma next to her looked at her nervously.

"Summer, what is the professor looking for you? Could it be that the paper is going to be rewritten? Emma asked.

"I hope not, I don't want to rewrite it! I'll go first! Lin Xia replied, said hello to Emma and went to Professor Steven's office.

"Professor Saren, I'm not sure Summer will accede to your request!" In Steven's office, Steven and Salen were talking.

"Not necessarily!" Saren stretched out a finger and shook it, "You know I haven't accepted students in years, and she won't refuse!" ”

Steven smiled helplessly and shook his head, and then heard a knock on the door, "Please come in!" ”

Lin Xia pushed open the door of the office, and when he saw that Professor Saleen was also there, he politely greeted him, "Hello Professor Saren, Professor Steven, are you looking for me?" ”

Salen's face became very fast, and he had just put on a high-minded appearance with Steven, and when he saw Lin Xia, his face was immediately full of smiles.

"Summer Forest! Hello! I asked Steven to call you! Saren didn't wait for Steven to speak, and directly explained that he asked Lin Xia to come over because he was looking for her.

"Oh, is Professor Saleen looking for me something?" Lin Xia was stunned for a moment, looked at Steven, Steven spread his hands helplessly, and then nodded to indicate that what Saren said was right.

"That's right!" Salen was in high spirits, "I just read your paper, and I happen to be doing research on this, so I would like to ask you if you would like to continue your PhD study as my student!" Looking at Lin Xia's somewhat stunned expression, Saren continued: "Don't be in a hurry to answer me, but I can tell you what the benefits of being my student are first!" ”

Lin Xia looked at Steven a little speechlessly, and Steven's expression was the same as hers.

"Being my student, you can not only get my guidance in papers, but also help in academics, in addition!" Salen looked at Lin Xia with sparkling eyes, "I can guarantee that you can not only follow me as an economic adviser to the government in the future, but also work in the central bank!" What do you think? ”

Lin Xia's heart was a little moved, Salen's conditions were simply too attractive! Someone else might cheer with joy.

"That!" Lin Xia bit her lower lip and thought about it, "Thank you very much for your recognition of me, but I have to go back and discuss this matter with my family!" ”

"Oh, it doesn't matter, I totally understand that!" Saren was very happy to hear Lin Xia's words, indicating that Lin Xia would seriously consider this issue, "Then I'll go first, Xi."

Hope to get your reply soon! ”

"Goodbye Professor Saren......" Lin Xia shook his hand, watched Sall leave Steven's office after making a slight gentlemanly salute, turning around, Lin Xia looked at Steven, "Professor Steven, this matter ......"

"You're doing a great job!" "Your essay has exceeded expectations, outperforming other students in your grade, and many of the cases you cited during your AM internship have helped a lot in your arguments!" This time, it's no surprise that you'll still get an A! ”

Lin Xia smiled, this time he was really very happy, "Professor Steven, your evaluation will make me proud!" ”

"Worthy of your pride! Otherwise, why would Sarian come to you in the first place, he was afraid that the other professors would rush ahead of him when they saw it! Steven winked at Lin Xia and said.

"Hehe......" Lin Xia is really happy, the paper can get such a high evaluation just after handing it in, I really didn't expect it, I didn't know what to say for a while, just being happy.

"Alright, you did the right thing!" Steven put away his smile, "It's better for you to go back and discuss this matter with your family!" After all, ......" Steven suddenly stopped the topic, and looked at Lin Xia with a slightly complicated look, "Your excellence is something that everyone can see!" I hope you achieve more than that in the future! ”

Lin Xia knew that Steven's original words were not this, but she was still excited now, so she didn't think much about it, what she wanted most now was to quickly tell Alice the good news.

"According to the regulations of the college, the thesis will be discussed and evaluated by the school many times, but there will be no other problems, after all, Professor Saleen has said so!" Steven finally gave Lin Xia another reassurance.

"Okay!" Lin Xia couldn't help but want to go home immediately, "If there is nothing else, I'll go back first!" Thank you, Professor Steven! Lin Xia's happy appearance made Steven happy too.

Lin Xia almost ran up to Steven and gave him a hug, and then ran out of his office.

Coming out of the academy, Lin Xia almost trotted all the way back home.

"Alice!" As soon as he entered the door, Lin Xia shouted out, and his voice was raised.

However, Lin Xia found that Alice, who was supposed to wait for her back in the living room, did not appear, and Susan was not there, so she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Alice!" Lin Xia shouted again, but still hadn't answered.

Lin Xia was a little panicked, and ran upstairs in three steps and two steps, "Alice!" "Alice's room was empty.

Lin Xia hurriedly ran downstairs again, there was no one in the kitchen, and Susan was not there in Susan's room.

Lin Xia panicked, really panicked, and quickly took out the phone and dialed Susan, and the phone rang for a while before it was connected.

"Miss Summer!" Susan's voice was filled with tears.

"Susan!" Lin Xia's voice trembled a little unconsciously, "What about Alice?" Where are you? ”

"In the hospital! Alice fainted again today......"

Before Susan's words were finished, Lin Xia hung up the phone and ran out of the house, tears streaming down her face.

The hospital is some distance from here, Lin Xia didn't stop a taxi on the side of the street several times in a row, and she ran in the direction of the hospital in a hurry, while looking for a taxi on the street.

A car stopped in front of Lin Xia, and John shouted in the car, "Summer! Get in! ”

Seeing John appear, Lin Xia felt so moved

, quickly opened the car door and sat down.

“summer!” John looked at Lin Xia's tearful appearance and couldn't help but comfort, "Don't worry, Alice sent it in time, Susan did a good job!" ”

Lin Xia nodded, knowing that Alice might not be in any danger, but she couldn't help the fear in her heart, she was afraid, she was very afraid, she was afraid of the pain of losing her relatives again.

In the hospital, Lin Xia followed John nervously to the ICU ward at the end of the corridor, and suddenly felt that his legs were weak, and he didn't dare to continue walking.

John looked back and saw Lin Xia trembling with one hand on the wall, and hurriedly ran back to support her, "Summer! ”

"John!" Lin Xia's voice trembled, "I'm afraid ......"

"It's okay, it's okay!" John hugged Lin Xia tightly in his arms, "Alice is fine, don't worry!" You're freaking yourself out! ”

With support, Lin Xia reluctantly followed John forward.

Outside the ward, Old Will was standing there talking to two people, and as soon as he saw Lin Xia coming, he hurriedly said a few more words and walked over to Lin Xia.

“summer! There you are! Old Will looked a little tired, thinking that Alice's readmission to the hospital also made him feel a little hard and uncomfortable.

"Mr. Will!" Lin Xia only had time to scream, and his tears held back the remaining words.

"It's okay, it's okay! Alice is good! Old Will took Lin Xia from John's hand, hugged him gently, and comforted, "Come and see, the doctor said she's fine!" ”

Old Will took Lin Xia to the glass window and looked inside.

Alice was lying on a hospital bed, wearing an oxygen mask, and several doctors and nurses were recording various data.

"Alice......" Lin Xia didn't know why, and instantly remembered that when her grandmother left, her voice was whimpering, and she looked so helpless.

"Alright, alright! You see, she really made it through! Old Will rubbed Lin Xia's arm and glanced at John, who had been staring at Lin Xia with concern, "Let John take you to have a cup of coffee, and you can go in to see her in a while!" ”

When John heard this, he hurriedly walked over, "Summer, come with me!" ”

Lin Xia also knew that he couldn't do anything now, maybe it would be better to go out for a cup of coffee with John, but suddenly something came to mind, "What about Susan?" ”

Old Will slapped his forehead with a sudden realization, "I'll ask her to go back and get some change of clothes for Alice, and I'll be back in a while!" ”

Lin Xia nodded, and followed John to the café at the door step by step.

Sitting on the chair, Lin Xia felt the touch of his feet on the ground, and John ordered two cups of coffee.

“summer! Don't worry, she'll be fine! "John can only say this now to comfort Lin Xia.

"John, you know what?" Lin Xia suppressed the ** who wanted to cry out loud, "I have lost my parents, and my grandmother, I came here and met you, especially Alice, she has asked me to call her grandma, you know?" Lin Xia kept saying, she needed an outlet now, John didn't interrupt her, and listened quietly, "The pain of losing a loved one suddenly, I really don't want to go through it again, Alice is my relative now......"

The coffee on the table was already cold, John asked someone to change the cup, Lin Xia was still talking, some like talking to John, and some like talking to himself, and John was still a qualified listener. 2k reading web
