"Album, huh?"

"This is your application to leave the hospital, sign it at the bottom."

A nurse put the application form and a black pen in her hand on the cabinet next to the bed.

The hospital just informed her that the patient's card balance was insufficient to pay for the next course of medical treatment, and she was forced to issue a discharge application.

The album on the hospital bed slowly put away his empty gaze staring directly at the white wall, moved his gaze to the discharge application, calmly picked up the pen, and landed at the end of the paper.

His eyes glanced at the list attached above, and the movement of the album paused slightly for a moment, a little dazed.

"Has it been a year......

The little nurse who was standing with her arms crossed on the side was a little impatient when she saw this, and immediately opened her mouth to urge:

"Please hurry up, there are still patients waiting."

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open with a "creak", and a male doctor in a clean white coat walked in.

The doctor entered the room, lifted his glasses, and walked straight to Zhang's bed.

"Xiao Liu, you go out first, and I'll send the application to the hospital later."

"Okay...... Dr. Liao, oh no, Director Liao! ”

Facing the young director of the same department who had just been promoted, the little nurse couldn't help but smile quickly, and her tone was low, with a hint of flattery.

The little nurse who didn't care about leaving, Dr. Liao stood by the bedside.

"I just heard that you're leaving the hospital today."

Zhang Ju nodded, his physical injuries had recovered two months earlier, and not leaving the hospital did not have much impact.

The reason why he is still in the hospital is because of the world-class disaster a year ago, which has made him have a slight rejection of the outside world.

"Actually, it's a good thing that you are discharged from the hospital, men, sooner or later, you have to get out of the predicament on your own."

Patting Zhang Shu on the shoulder, Dr. Liao's eyes were full of encouragement.

"You're right, I can't stay in the hospital for the rest of my life."

Zhang Ju exhaled deeply, pressed his temples, and sat up.

"Well, I'll have time after that...... Ahh ”

The corners of Dr. Liao's mouth went up, and he said intentionally half-jokingly.

"Thank you, Dr. Liao."

Zhang Ji raised his head and looked at Dr. Liao in front of him, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Then I won't bother you to clean up."

Dr. Liao chuckled, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

In the ward, Zhang Shu was the only one left, and he got out of bed, put on his shoes, and began to quietly pack up what few things he had.

The spatial crack that appeared in his house made the entire house and family fall apart in an instant, and he had no home to return to at the moment.

With the help of the federal pension, he and his sister have survived without any financial resources until today, but now there is not much left of the pension.

He opened the piece of precision technology instrument that he carried on his left hand with a light texture, close to the skin, and shaped like a watch, which is an authentication identity device equipped by every federal citizen, referred to as the FC instrument, which is bound to personal resume information, credit certification, private savings, and so on.

At this moment, the FC meter in the album is showing all the savings he is relying on for survival - 2800 federal coins.

A silent sigh arose in my heart.

"Squeak."

The door of the ward was pushed open again, breaking the silence inside, and a middle-aged man rushed in.

"Teacher Li?"

Seeing the person coming, Zhang Juxian stopped what he was doing, and the middle-aged man in front of him was his teacher back then, Li Guohui.

"Your sister's grades came out and she was admitted to Yancheng University, but she didn't let me tell you, and she planned to give up this opportunity and come down to find a job to support your brother."

Li Guohui spoke a little faster, biting the word "feeding" very hard, and his eyes unceremoniously looked directly at the book next to the bed.

At the same time, he took out the admission notice in his hand and handed it to Zhang Shu.

"You've always been like this, even if you don't think about yourself, think more about your sister!"

Li Guohui, who began to teach a lesson from the moment he entered the door, looked like he hated iron but not steel.

"I'll figure it out."

Zhang Ji, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly reached out and took the admission letter, looked at the name of his sister above, and his tone was unexpectedly firm.

Li Guohui, who still wanted to say something, noticed that Zhang Ju's serious expression was different from before, and the anger was suddenly gone.

Sure enough, it had to be his sister.

The room was quiet, and Li Guohui, who was relieved in his heart, was thinking about what to do to ease the atmosphere, when the door of the ward was pushed open again.

A handsome girl in a ponytail and in sportswear walked in.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

Seeing this girl, Li Guohui, who was still domineering just now, suddenly felt a little weak, coughed lightly, and then spoke.

"Xiaoting is here, I'm passing by here to see your brother, that ...... So you talk first, and I'll go first. ”

After speaking, Li Guohui turned around and left the ward as if he were fleeing.

"Brother, did the teacher tell you something?!"

Zhang Xiaoting walked to the side of the bed inexplicably, put down the things in his hand, and then saw the admission notice in Zhang Shu's hand, and suddenly the ponytail was about to explode.

"Lao Li, you bastard, promise I won't tell my brother!"

Zhang Xiaoting immediately rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out of the door, looking for Li Guohui to ask for clarification, and gently grabbed her arm from behind with one hand.

"Mr. Li really thinks about the two of us, and he shouldn't be blamed."

Zhang Shu shook his head and said to his sister Zhang Xiaoting.

Li Guohui has been the teacher of their brother and sister, and he is an old acquaintance with Zhang Zhu's parents, and he doesn't live too far away, so he is relatively familiar.

After Zhang Ji's parents were killed, Li Guohui took more care of them, and placed Zhang Xiaoting, who had nowhere to go, in his own home, and Zhang Xiaoting's personality seems to have restrained Li Guohui since he was a child, and he has been fighting for many years, and he has developed the habit that the two are not big or small, but in the end, Li Guohui is a little "afraid" of this little girl.

"I know, but ......"

"It's nothing, this year my brother has been involved in you, my parents are no longer around, I am like this again, you are the most bitter one......"

Zhang Ju rubbed his sister's head, his eyes were doting and guilty, when she was a girl who lost her loved ones, she had to hide her extreme grief and take care of herself unconscious, which made Zhang Ju feel sorry for this sister all the time.

"Brother...... I'm not bitter, and having you by my side is the best sweetness in the world. ”

Zhang Xiaoting turned his head and sniffed, laughing forcefully, and at the same time blinked vigorously, unwilling to let the tears swirling in his eyes fall.

Looking at this sister who was thinking about him everywhere, Zhang Ji gently knocked on her head.

"Help me clean up, your brother will be discharged from the hospital today."

And when Zhang Xiaoting heard this, all emotions were thrown out of the clouds first, and his tearful eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted loudly:

"Brother, how are you?! I'm going to clean up! ”

Zhang Xiaoting clearly knew how hard the riot of the spatial crack hit her brother, and she had thought that if she was at home at the time, she didn't know if she could hold on until now, so she was happier than anyone else that Zhang Ju finally took this step.

Looking at the younger sister who was packing up her things with great joy in front of her, the palm behind the album couldn't help but clench secretly, and her heart was determined.

"Mom and Dad, I will definitely protect Xiaoting!"

"It's like...... You're desperate to protect me. ”

……

Hospital gates.

Zhang Ji carried the packed backpack and stood in the shadow of the door, and one step forward, the sun was shining.

"Brother, let's go."

The crisp voice of her sister Zhang Xiaoting came from under the sun.

Zhang Juan walked out with his legs raised, stepping on the warm and somewhat sunny summer sun.
