Chapter 43: See You Tomorrow (2)
There has been no news since Wang Yi sent them back. A week before the start of school, he called Chen Ying and said that after returning that day, he was seriously ill, coughing, fever, and vomiting, and had to go to the hospital to see an emergency department in the middle of the night. When the cause could not be found, the doctor had to give him anti-emetic injections and painkiller injections one by one. He spent eight hours in the hospital, and his whole hand was as hard as a popsicle in the end. During the days when he couldn't eat, he sat in the middle of a group of elderly people every day, listening to them talk about where they could buy bargains and so on. He was sleepy when he was awake, but he remembered what he was sleeping in his sleep. In the middle of the night, the feeling of nausea was particularly severe, and he crouched beside the mop pool and spat until dark green bile spurted out of his nose.
"I've lost a full ten pounds." He told her on the phone, "But it's better now, don't worry." ”
She could also tell his weakness on the phone. As if he hadn't noticed, he read her a poem:
"'The reason I don't take my pain seriously is because I'm afraid you'll do that.'" ”
Excerpt from Rabindranath Tagore's The Gardener's Collection. Do you like it? He asked, "How is Liang Jing doing?" ”
"It's fine. Soak in the lab all day long, as before. I didn't hear her mention Ye Feng again. Chen Ying replied, "I don't know if this is a good thing." ”
"I have feelings for a place, not because of the place itself, but mostly because of the people and things I met here." Wang Yi said.
"Yes."
"Have you decided what you want after graduation?"
"I've figured it out."
"Study abroad?"
"Hmm."
"Where to go?"
"What are you going to do?"
"It's also studying abroad."
"Where are you going?"
"Chen Ying, you haven't answered my question yet." Wang Yi protested.
"Good. I want to go to the United States. Chen Ying smiled.
"I'm going to the U.S. too."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Why did you want to go to the United States?" Chen Ying asked.
"What about you?" Wang Yi asked rhetorically.
"Maybe I made a mistake myself – I hope so. After reading so many books and traveling through so many countries in Europe, I became more and more curious about the United States. In the past, I blindly followed the trend and wanted to go, but now it is more of my own will. ”
"What you can't get is the best. Because I haven't been there, but I have beautified it in my mind, and the new continent across the sea seems more and more sacred. ”
"Is this sarcastic to me?"
"You think so."
"Then why do you want to go to the United States?" Chen Ying asked again.
"What you can't get is the best." He repeated, "It's the same with people." ”
"Why don't you go to the UK, maybe you can meet Ye Feng."
Wang Yi smiled on the other side of the phone, and Chen Ying also smiled. The smile dispelled the dark clouds that had been hovering in their relationship for days, and the sun shone down again, as if to awaken the sleeping life of the earth. He didn't answer, and she didn't press on. She held up the receiver and imagined him on the other end of the phone.
"If I don't go to the UK, I will continue to contact Ye Feng. We don't just forget about each other. He said seriously.
"What happens if you are forgotten?"
"It depends on who the other person is, I don't need to be remembered by everyone."
She shook her head silently, not knowing how to answer.
"Qin Hong is back, right?" He changed the subject.
"Well, I came back yesterday afternoon."
"Does he know you're leaving?"
"I probably mentioned it before, but he probably didn't know that I was determined."
"Shall we go along?"
"Probably not. He likes his current law firm, works overtime every day, and is planning to make a career. ”
"And what do you do?"
"What should I do, I have lived alone in Europe for so long, and I am still afraid of this?"
"Prepare well for the English test and work together."
"Work together."
After making such an agreement, she listened to the other party hang up with a "poof", and a repeated busy sound came from the earpiece. After a while, she saw the folder in the corner of the table, and remembered that she had not yet agreed with him to attend the exhibition the next day, and the materials for translation were still on her side, in a white brown paper bag, with the number of the booth they were responsible for written in the middle of the front. She hurriedly called again, but no one answered the phone in the dormitory. Wang Yi probably went out to eat, and his roommate hadn't returned to school yet. She felt that she was so confused, chatting with him for so long that she had forgotten about serious things. She hurriedly put on her coat and walked downstairs towards the boys' dormitory. She was going to leave the information in the communication room so he could see it when he got back.
