Time kept moving forward, and my life was still uneventful.

It's just that since my dad suddenly fainted due to myocardial infarction after the college entrance examination, his health has been very bad all these years.

Gu Zijin and Chen Yao came to visit my dad at my house on the weekend, and when my dad and Chen Yao were chatting happily, Gu Zijin pulled me into the room.

She closed the door and mysteriously handed me a note.

A series of numbers were written on the note, which was the phone number.

"This is Lu Li's father's current contact information, and I finally got it." Gu Zijin looked at me with a smug expression.

"How did you get it?" I asked, surprised, my hand unconsciously grasping at the thin piece of paper.

"Pei Xuan has a lot of college classmates working in Haicheng First Hospital, I asked him to ask. But don't worry, I didn't say anything to Pei Xuan. Fortunately, Pei Xuan is not a gossip person. Gu Zijin walked to my desk, picked up my lesson plan and flipped through it, "Zhen Zhen, the words on your lesson plan are not yours, it's so square and cute." ”

"Pei Xuan helped me write it." At that time, I laughed at him for writing like a schoolboy, but he was not at all annoyed by my ridicule.

Gu Zijin put down the lesson plan and looked at me seriously, "Zhen Zhen, Pei Xuan is sincere to you, he will be back soon." What the hell do you think? ”

"I ......" I lowered my eyes, not knowing how to answer.

I understand Pei Xuan's intentions, and I originally planned to try to be with him when he comes back.

I raised my eyes again, as if I had made up my mind, "Zijin, if I still can't get an answer after this call, I will definitely start again." ”

Gu Zijin smiled at me with relief, "Then let's fight." ”

The phone was quickly connected, and to my surprise, Uncle Lu still remembered me. When I told him that Lu Li had left the United States without saying goodbye, he stopped talking on the other end of the phone.

"Lu Li hasn't called home for half a month, and that stinky boy doesn't know what he's doing every day." Uncle Lu sighed, "Hey, you young people should settle the matter by yourself." I've got a patient coming to visit right now, and I'll send you the kid's contact information in a moment. ”

About ten minutes later, Uncle Lu sent his contact information.

I stared at the numbers on the screen, but I didn't have the courage to press the call button.

Gu Zijin couldn't stand my mother-in-law's behavior, so he took it upon himself to dial it for me.

Listening to the long beep on the phone, I was inexplicably nervous.

Even Gu Zijin held his breath and leaned his ears over.

“Excuse？” The girl's voice came from the other end of the line.

Gu Zijin and I glanced at each other, and we saw the same doubts in each other's eyes-Lu Li's foreign girlfriend?

Fortunately, in my junior year, I studied English seriously for a semester, and I was able to communicate with the foreign girl smoothly.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Zijin grabbed my arm and asked anxiously, "What did you say?" Is she Lu Li's girlfriend? Why didn't Lu Li answer the phone? ”

"This is not Lu Li's number, and the girl doesn't know Lu Li."

"Did you dial the wrong number?" Gu Zijin checked my call records, "That's right, but it stands to reason that Lu Li's father won't give the wrong number." ”

"This number is a second-hand number that the girl bought from the school forum half a month ago. Maybe even Uncle Lu doesn't know that Lu Li has changed his number. ”

Lu Li has not had a good relationship with his father since he was a child, so it is not surprising that Lu Li would do this.

Gu Zijin, who didn't know the inside story, was angry, "I now think that Lu Li, this kid is really cold-blooded, he doesn't even care about his father, let alone us!" Zhen Zhen, when Pei Xuan comes back, you can hurry up and throw yourself into his arms. ”

The annual college entrance examination ended again in a happy and sad family. I don't know who proposed a "graduation 7th anniversary party" in the class group.

I stood outside the box, banging on the wall with my forehead, hesitating whether to go in or not. In the past few years, I have tried to avoid my former classmates, because I am afraid that they will bring up the past related to Lu Li.

At this time, a palm was placed in front of my forehead, preventing me from "masochistic" behavior.

"Zhenzhen, what are you doing?"

I turned around, and Chen Fei stood behind me, looking at me suspiciously.

"Me, my head is a little itchy." I scratched my bangs in embarrassment.

Chen Fei opened the door of the box for me, and the noisy voices, the mellow aroma of the food, and the eyes of Qi Brushing came to me.

Gu Zijin and the others were already sitting there, pointing to the vacant seat at me, and I walked all the way over and politely greeted the classmates I hadn't seen for a long time.

Although the people were uneven, the large round table was filled.

Everyone chatted about the past of high school easily, and I silently ate the fish with my head down.

Chen Fei, who was sitting next to Gu Zijin, suddenly called me, "Zhen Zhen, how is Lu Li doing abroad?" Are you about to return from school? ”

I swallowed the last bit of fish and meat, raised my hand and put a piece into the bowl, pretending not to care: "I don't know, we haven't been in touch since graduation." ”

"No, you and Lu Li are the best in the three years of high school."

"That's right, at that time, Lu Li only played with Zhen Zhen, and when we talked to Lu Li, he always ignored him. At that time, we were still privately speculating whether Lu Li liked Zhen Zhen. ”

"When I stole the class fee, I heard that Lu Li helped Zhen Zhen come up with an idea to get justice."

Everyone recalls it in a gossiping voice, but I have mixed feelings in my heart when I listen to it.

Gu Zijin quietly held my hand under the table, and I pursed my lips and smiled at her, signaling to her that I was fine.

"Lu Li shouldn't have fallen in love with foreign beauties and is reluctant to come back." Chen Fei said again very insightlessly.

Gu Zijin glared at him fiercely and threw a piece of pork ribs into his bowl, "As long as you talk too much, if you don't eat it, it will be cold." ”

Chen Fei saw that Gu Zijin was furious, so he closed his mouth in amusement, and everyone ended the topic in a sneering manner.

It's a pity that the fish in the bowl has long been eaten.

Sometimes life is so dramatic and funny, I tried my best to isolate people or things related to Lu Li, but I didn't expect that they would find me.

On the second day of the class reunion, I met Wang Lu near the school. We propose to sit at a café nearby.

I haven't seen her for many years, Wang Lu is no longer the girl with two braids and a little rustic flavor, but now she has capable short hair, well-fitting professional clothes, stepping on high heels, and exuding the temperament of a strong woman all over her body.

"Zhenzhen, I didn't expect to meet you near the school, you haven't changed at all." Wang Lu sat across from me, smiling as shy as before.

I instinctively turned my head to look at the glass window next to me.

It's still the same ponytail as when I was in middle school, and the bangs fall on my forehead. She wears a plain dress and white canvas shoes on her feet.

Gu Zijin was very dissatisfied with my appearance, she said that I didn't look like a teacher at school at all, but like a repeat student.

"You've changed so much," I muttered for a moment, "and sure enough, confident women are the most beautiful." ”

Wang Lu seemed to be thinking about my words for a moment, but soon she understood.

She reached out and grabbed my hand on the table, with guilt, "Zhenzhen, I'm really sorry for what happened back then. ”

I smiled, "It's all gone." ”

"yes, it's all gone. By the way, you should be with Lu Li now. ”

In the past few days, everyone has mentioned Lu Li as if they had made an appointment.

"He went abroad to study after graduation," I don't know if Wang Lu was still in contact or in a relationship with each other, I added, "I haven't been in touch again." ”

"Huh? I thought Lu Li liked you. ”

The hand holding the spoon trembled, and the carvings on the coffee were torn apart, which was so ugly that I simply stirred them up with a spoon, "Why do you think that?" ”

Wang Lu shrugged, "What you said at the time was right, it was because I was jealous that you liked Lu Li, maybe I was too jealous so I had a delusion." ”

Now it's my turn to be embarrassed, "I was just talking casually at the time, I was like that, how can I be jealous." ”

"Zhenzhen, you have that qualification." Wang Lu shook her head and said frankly, "Over the years, I have been running around for life, in order not to be looked down upon by others, I have forced myself to hide my cowardice, and I have become less and less like myself. I often wonder if I could go back to high school. Until I met you just now, I thought I was really back to when I was studying with you. Your eyes are still the same as back then, sincere and warm. ”

I was a little embarrassed, "I'm not the same person I used to be." ”

Wang Lu and I sat in the café until it was getting dark.

My mom called me and said that my dad had gone shopping by himself and had fainted on the street.

The air conditioning in the café was fully on, but I still broke out in a cold sweat.

Wang Lu and I exchanged WeChat signals, and then hurriedly said goodbye.

When I arrived at the hospital, my dad had already come out of the emergency room, and my mom was standing by the bedside with teary eyes, gently wiping the sweat from my dad's forehead.

"Mom, is Dad okay?" I asked softly.

When my mother saw me, she quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "It's okay." Thankfully, Miss Anne helped. ”

Because I was worried about my father, I went straight to my father's bedside when I entered the ward.

Then I realized that there was a young girl standing in the corner of the ward.

The girl was tall and outstanding, especially with a pair of amber eyes, which gave her an exotic taste.

"Your father said that he was going out for a walk after dinner this evening, but he didn't expect to faint halfway through. Fortunately, Miss Anne helped with first aid and brought your father to the hospital in time. ”

The girl named Anne nodded and smiled at me, and I smiled politely back, "Miss Anne, thank you for saving my father, I don't know how to thank you." ”

"If only you could call me Anne." Anne always kept a generous smile, "I am a doctor, and it is my duty to save lives. ”

"You're a doctor! It's amazing. I silently sighed in my heart, this is the real angel in white.

"I studied as a psychiatrist in the United States, and I just know some basic first aid."

"You're also studying in the United States?" When I heard the word "United States", I subconsciously asked, "Do you recognize ......?"

Ye Zhenzhen, Ye Zhenzhen, what are you thinking? You wouldn't think that as long as you studied in the United States, you would know Lu Li.

"Know what?" Anne asked.

I waved my hand awkwardly, "No, I just wanted to ask if you know Obama?" ”

Anne apparently didn't understand my "bad joke" and replied very seriously, "He has visited our medical school, and I have shaken his hand." ”

Anne didn't stay long because of something, and my mother proposed to invite Anne to dinner another day, but Anne politely refused. Seeing that Anne insisted on refusing to agree, we had to express our gratitude again in words.

After Anne left, my mom came home to pack up my dad's clothes that he had changed during his stay in the hospital, and I kept vigil in the ward.

As I lay on my stomach bed, I suddenly missed the carefree days of high school.

At that time, I was a little sun full of energy, living a chic and sincere life.

But now I am living a mess in my life, work, and relationships, and even feeling sorry for myself.

The present is the future that we envy immensely; And at that time, we were the youth that we can't go back to.
