Professor Liu passed away, and when I came to the hospital, she was lying on a cold bed, and Uncle David was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her hand, and crying sadly.

His face was haggard, and his lips trembled.

"It's all my fault, I'm an unfilial son, woo woo"

I walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered, "Uncle Dawei, let's mourn and change, Professor Liu won't blame you." ”

Professor Liu closed his eyes peacefully, as if he was asleep, and although his cheeks were white, there was no painful expression in the slightest.

"Originally, I wanted to go to the United States with Professor Liu a few days ago, but she couldn't support her body, so she dispelled this idea."

I glanced at Uncle Dawei, who was completely immersed in deep pain and self-blame.

The next day, Professor Liu's body was transferred to the crematorium, and many people came to see her off, most of whom were former students of Professor Liu's teaching.

They looked sad, some lay in front of the urn and wept, and some stood aside and wept silently.

After taking care of Professor Liu's funeral, Uncle Dawei returned to the United States, and before leaving, he said to me: "Wang Tao, in New York, if you have any difficulties, just ask me, I am absolutely duty-bound to help you." ”

It was pouring rain outside, the sky was gray, the city was covered with clouds, even the laurel trees on the roadside were bent down, the rain washed away the dirt on the streets, and the lilies in the flower pond were torn off their petals by the fierce rain, and lay powerless in the mud, let the storm ravage.

I went back to the basement, unusually depressed, lying in bed and listening to the sound of the rain outside lapping the stone steps.

In a trance, I seemed to hear what Professor Liu said to me, life is a lifetime, grass and trees are autumn, and being a responsible and responsible person is not in vain in this life.

I fell asleep in a daze, and in my sleep I came to a steep hillside, where snow was covered with no vegetation, and a few birds flew by in the sky, making quacking sounds.

I crawled upwards with difficulty, the cold air surrounding me, and with every two steps, I had to glide down some distance, my whole body trembling, my teeth chattering, and the cold wind cut through my face like a blade, making it impossible for me to stay awake.

My hands and feet were frozen, I exhaled, the white mist was instantly frozen, disappeared in front of my eyes, I looked around, the mountains undulated, stretched, the snow covered the whole world, everything was still, only the cold wind kept tearing me, as if telling me that I couldn't stop here.

I rubbed my hands together, frowned, and continued to climb upward, when suddenly I heard a rumbling sound from the top of the mountain, which shook the earth with it.

I instantly panicked, vigilantly looking at the top of the mountain, the snow around me slowly melted, the sky was covered with black clouds, a violent flood rushed down from the top of the mountain, washing away the snow covering the hillside, I turned around and ran down the mountain, just ran a few steps, my feet slipped, and I was thrown fart and urine, the torrent was menacing, and quickly pulled me in.

I was washed into the sea, the wind swept up the waves, more than a hundred meters high, my head just came out of the water, I was beaten under the water by the huge waves, into the cold water, I forgot to breathe, the black water frightened me, here, for the first time, I felt how small, how insignificant.

I slowly sank underwater, my eyes closed, my whole body was torn by the cold sea, and I passed out several times.

Suddenly, the sea vanished, the wind stopped, the thick clouds gradually drifted away, and a golden ray of sunlight shone down on the earth, illuminating everything in front of him.

I came to a volcano, and standing on the crater, the volcano was bursting with magma, and the hot liquid was baking the volcanic walls, and I was sweating profusely, and my whole body was soaked with sweat.

The magma slowly boiled, more and more restless, and after a while, a red solution erupted from the inside out, and the violent shaking shook the whole volcano apart, and after the rumbling sound, the magma flowed down the crater, and I was dizzy from the baking, and my whole body seemed to be melted away, and the heat stimulated my skin, and my clothes were already smoking, and my hair seemed to be burned, emitting a foul smell.

I woke up, my whole body was sore, my head seemed to be cracking, the pain was unbearable, I touched my forehead with my hand, it was so hot, was it sick?

I moistened my dry lips with my tongue, tried to get up and pour a glass of water, and as soon as I stood up, my legs and feet could not support my weight, and I fell back on the bed.

I thought to myself, how could I be so sick, could it have something to do with this rainstorm?

At this time, the phone rang, and it was Zhang Xueyao calling.

"Hey, are you home?"

"I..."

My throat was broken, and there was a hoarse sound, and I frowned and endured the pain.

"Why is your voice hoarse, are you sick?"

Zhang Xueyao asked anxiously over there.

"Hmm."

"You're waiting for me at home."

After hanging up the phone, I threw the phone aside and lay on the bed weakly, feeling like my breath was hot.

I fell into a deep sleep again, feeling like I was surrounded by heat, sweat oozing from my forehead and back, soaking the pillow and bedding.

I don't know how long later, Zhang Xueyao came, she helped me into the car, and drove to the hospital.

I was lying in a hospital room, the nurse gave me a drip, my eyes closed, my brow furrowed, and a few weak moans from time to time.

Zhang Xueyao looked worried, she sat on the edge of the bed, and muttered in a low voice: "How can someone who is usually alive and well suddenly fall ill." ”

A vial of medicine poured into my body, dousing my hot blood, and a cool sensation welled up on my forehead, causing me to fall into a deep sleep.

I slept very well this night, there was no hot volcano, no cold sea, no snow-capped hillside in my dream, only the beautiful Jiangnan town, a cup of tea, and two drizzles.

I woke up, the night fell, the lights were on in the ward, Zhang Xueyao fell asleep on the edge of the bed, her face was tired and tired, her long eyelashes covered her eyelids, her breathing was smooth, and a few strands of hair hung down on her cheeks, looking extremely shy and moving.

I sat up slowly, the feeling of soreness and weakness was reduced a lot, I reached out and touched Zhang Xueyao's head.

She woke up, sat up straight, looked at me sleepily and said, "How do you feel when you wake up?" ”

After saying that, he yawned heavily.

"Much better, thank you for getting me to the hospital."

I looked very uneasy at looking at her with gratitude on my face.

"Hey, what are you talking about, aren't we friends, I can't see death when you're sick."

She rubbed her eyes and made a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

She handed me another glass of water and said, "Drink some water, see that your lips are dry, as if they were roasted by fire." ”

I took the glass, filled with a large glass of water for me to drink it all, and I pursed my lips again, feeling much more comfortable.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Of course I didn't eat it, you will have to compensate me later."

She pouted, and there was a dissatisfied expression on her white cheeks.

I looked down at my watch, and it was half past nine in the evening.

"Don't come later, just now, I'm hungry and my chest is on my back, let's go, I'll invite you to dinner."

With that, I got out of bed, put on my shoes, and put on my coat that hung in the doorway.

"What are you eating?"

She stood up and picked up the pink bag on the table.

"Let's eat ramen, do you have any opinions?"

I had a smile on my face.

"Well, I know there's a noodle shop that makes good ramen."

When we walked out of the hospital, the day was stormy, lightning and thunder, but the night was calm and graceful, full of stars.

As soon as I got into the car, my mobile phone rang, and I took it out to check, it was a call from the scumbag.

"Where are you, why aren't you going home yet?"

There was an anxious inquiry from the scumbag brother on the phone.

"Uh, I'm outside, I got a cold today and just came out of the hospital."

After speaking, he snorted a few times.

"Why do you have a cold, do you need me to pick you up?"

"No need, I'll go back after eating."

"Okay, stay safe, it's not too late."

After about 20 minutes of driving, the car stopped in front of a noodle restaurant.

When I walked into the store, there was not a single customer, only a waiter sitting at the bar, bored playing with his mobile phone.

"Welcome."

When she saw us walk in, she stood up.

We found a seat and sat down, and the waiter came over with a small book.

"What do you want to eat?"

I glanced at the pictures of the various types of noodles pasted on the wall.

"Uh, bring me a bowl of Chongqing noodles."

"Okay, what does this beautiful woman want to eat?"

The waiter wrote quickly in the notebook with a pen, and asked Zhang Xueyao while writing.

"Let's have a bowl of mixed noodles."

"Okay, you guys, wait a minute."

With that, the waiter turned and left.

After the noodles were served, I devoured them, making Zhang Xueyao giggle.

"Are you a starving ghost, your appearance is too ugly, can you pay attention, haha."

She tapped the rim of my bowl with her chopsticks.

"I haven't eaten in a day, I'm hungry for you to try it a day."

I defended myself.

"It's normal, when I lost weight, I didn't eat for a day like you."

She gave me a blank look, picked up a noodle, and put it in her mouth.

Sometimes I admire those girls who don't eat three meals a day, I remember reading a news story about a little girl who tortured herself into a dry corpse in order to lose weight, her stomach was severely atrophied, and she could lift a light hand.

Thinking of this, I asked Zhang Xueyao curiously: "You say, what kind of psychological thoughts do girls maintain in order to lose weight?" ”

She wiped her mouth with a napkin, picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water.

"What psychology? Of course, I want to become slim and stylish, there is a sentence that doesn't say, for the sake of youth and beauty, don't you regret starving to death, and there are many weight loss products that are not safe, and the rebound is very serious after use, so most people choose to keep their mouths shut, so that there are no side effects. ”

"Can the stomach take it?"

I pressed on.

"Of course I can, it's not that I don't eat at all, it's just that the amount of food I eat is relatively small, and there are high-protein, high-fat, high-calorie, and fried foods that can't be eaten."

She pulled out a mirror from her bag and straightened out her messy bangs.

After paying the bill, the two of us walked out of the noodle shop, and the breeze blew, mixed with the water vapor after the rainstorm, which blew people refreshed.

Just as I was about to get on the bus, I suddenly saw a figure in the corner of the west wall of the noodle restaurant, staring at me.

My hairs stand on end, and my back is a little cold, who is this person?
