Chapter 20: Fish in the Pool

The typhoon's huge cyclone was carrying water vapor, and the flanks had already swept over the mountains of the county, and the clouds slowly engulfed the mountains and the raindrops attacked rapidly.

Jiang Shan couldn't see the things around him clearly, the rain was strung into a line, the lines gathered into a surface, and with the wind howling, the rain curtain was like a thick fog, with the shape of the wind.

But she felt very happy, the rain washed through the cracks in her raincoat, and she felt like a mountain, and the rain washed away the dust from her heart.

The turbulence tore at the plastic shoe covers on his feet, but he couldn't break them, so that Jiang Shan's shoes and socks were wet. Jiang Shan stepped on the water unscrupulously, opened his hand, and the wind blew the raincoat hunting.

She loved the armor.

The mobile phone in the pocket of her clothes suddenly vibrate, she thought that her father was urging her to hurry up, and pressed the answer button, and Li Shen's voice came from there.

"Your Royal Highness, don't wander around and go home quickly."

Jiang Shan looked back, the edge of the dormitory was blurred into a chaotic curve, the hazy light was like a fishing fire in the tide, and the laughter and play of the students could be heard inside.

With her memory, she barely saw Li Shen's bedroom, and it seemed that a figure was by the window, waving to herself.

"Thank you, my knight, for your armor." Jiang Shan grinned at the other end of the phone, she was very happy today, she was very satisfied.

Li Shen's voice rang on the other end of the phone again: "Shanshan......"

The thunder exploded, drowning out Li Shen's voice, which made Jiang Shan startled, and then tried to hear it clearly, but found that he had already missed and hung up.

She looked at the extinguished screen, looked calm, and whispered again: "Thank you for the last armor, your queen is going to war alone." ”

On the long, deep rainy road, she strode until she turned a corner, and the view behind her was also blocked by the school building. The cold rain slapped indiscriminately on her face, and she ran towards the school gate.

Li Shen watched Jiang Shan's back gradually disappear, and sat back in his seat with a loss.

The rain outside the window was pouring in, and Xu Peng beside him was actually talking to Liu Yuanyuan on the phone.

"Little torch, do you know, the girls in the city No. 1 middle school are very beautiful."

"Ah, yes."

Li Shen looked at Xu Peng's hesitant appearance, wrote a note, and put it in front of Xu Peng's eyes.

Xu Peng subconsciously read it out: "Are you beautiful?" ”

There was a silver bell-like laughter from the other end of the landline: "Xu Peng, you are so strange, how can you say such a thing, I will be here today first, and I will call you next time." ”

Li Shen listened and felt strange, how could Liu Yuanyuan take the initiative to call Xu Peng? But what made him the most strange was Jiang Shan's recent performance.

It seems that he is about to go abroad, and he is not proactive, and he still has the fragrance of lipstick on his face now.

Is he going to go abroad so soon, his chest is clogged. I opened the text message on my mobile phone, entered a line of text, and finally deleted them one by one, leaving only one sentence: "Send me a text message when you get home." ”

Why should he care, Jiang Shan's happiness is the most important thing.

At this time, Jiang Cong was driving Jiang Shan home, and he complained a little about that kid for making it so late. But seeing Jiang Shan covered tightly by the raincoat, he felt that he was a bit derelict in his duty as a father, and he was compared to a hairy boy.

"Huh? It's been so long to call me. Jiang Shan sat in the passenger seat and answered the phone, with a hint of laughter in his voice.

The corners of Jiang Cong's eyes twitched, his daughter's mobile phone was given by him, he believed that his daughter had self-control, but he had just finished it and wanted to call again, did he not respect him as a father very much.

"Shanshan, ......" Jiang Cong wanted to say something, but a sweet female voice suddenly sounded on the other side of the phone: "Uncle, good evening, I am Jiang Shan's friend." ”

It's a female classmate, that's fine.

"Shanshan, let me tell you, ...... lately"

Jiang Shan listened with a smile, and Li Shen's text message, through the continuous rain curtain, was about to buzz, but found that there was already a phone that occupied the prompt message, and could only bounce up silently, disappear silently, and lie quietly in the mailbox.

Li Shen kept staring at Nokia nervously, but it never turned on the screen and the phone couldn't get through.

He was worried that Jiang Shan would have an accident. He even wanted to make a wave of self-destructing trucks and make a phone call to Jiang Cong.

Finally, before the lights go out, Nokia lights up.

"I was on the phone with Yuanyuan just now, and now I'm home, don't worry."

The lights went out, and the faint light of Nokia shone on Li Shen's reassuring face.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, Jiang Shan was fine, and he was finally able to calm down. He turned on the lamp and perused the book in front of him.

Just as he was in his trance, the mobile phone hidden in his pocket vibrate. He took out his phone like a thief, and there was a voice ringtone on the faintly lit screen.

What will Jiang Shan say, what will she say about it by MMS? Li Shen was expectant and plugged in the headphones.

The bedroom after the lights went out was pitch black, the flashlight of the dormitory manager patrolling in the corridor flickered, and in the footsteps that came from time to time, Nokia's screen flashed, and Jiang Shan's voice sounded in the headphones.

The sound quality of the old-fashioned mobile phone was poor, but in the rustling noise, he could hear clearly, it was "Fish in the Pool" written by Shunji Iwai.

The sweet voice is very pleasant, and from time to time it is a little out of tune, and every time it is out of tune, there will be a light laugh, accompanied by the sound of treading water.

When she recorded the song, the space next to it must have been very small, and it sounded like a surround sound effect. With the sound of treading water, a picture appeared in front of Li Shen's eyes.

In the bathroom, Jiang Shan had just finished dressing, and the mirror was filled with moisture, hazy her blushing face.

When she sang out of tune, she couldn't help but laugh, her wet hair trembling with her body, the lyrics that had been right became out of tune, and her little feet stomped awkwardly on the tiles, splashing and falling on her instep, winding all the way down the smooth arch of her foot, and finally resting on her rounded nails.

The clip of singing is not long, but Li Shen has been cycling the single song.

β€œIt rains cats and dogs

I'm a little soaking mouse

Here wet with a blanket of rain

And I dream of you

……

Good night"

Li Shen also silently said good night in his heart, reopened the book, and continued to study.

Jiang Shan, who was over there, had just finished blowing his hair, changed into pajamas, hummed a tune, and pulled out a book from the shelf.

Through the vast rain curtain and the long night, the two people turned on the table lamp together, and the two lone lamps shone brightly, illuminating the spine and the contents of the book clearly.

"In Medical Cell Biology, cells are the foundation of life, so the real solution of all problems must be truly solved at the cellular level."

"In Medical Cell Biology, cells are the foundation of life, so the real solution of all problems must be truly solved at the cellular level."

The two of them drew a long line under this sentence together, and it was like a bamboo.

The wind and rain outside the window were still there, and lightning and thunder were heard from time to time, but both of them turned a deaf ear.

The pen in his hand is like a bayonet, and the tip of the pen jumps on the book.

Amid the rustling of writing, the two men fell asleep.

Jiang Shan crouched on the table, only dreaming that the flash lights were clicking and flickering, and the reporter in front of him was blocked, asking her how to solve the ALS, and after the crowd, a middle-aged man was holding a bouquet of flowers, with a box in his hand, the box slowly opened, and a willow ring appeared.

At this moment, a thunderbolt flashed, and she woke up from her sleep.

She was lying on the bed, curled up in a ball, the cold wave sweeping through her limbs, and she was weak. Her face suddenly faded.

Did fate come so early this time?

The door opened suddenly, Qi Qiuhua walked in from outside the door, and walked quickly to the head of Jiang Shan's bed.

"Mom, I may ......" Before Jiang Shan could finish speaking, a mercury thermometer was stuffed into his mouth.

Qi Qiuhua put the back of his hand against Jiang Shan's forehead, probed the temperature, and pulled Jiang Cong's earlobe angrily.

"How did you be a father! I didn't see if my daughter was asleep before going to bed, if I hadn't come home from overtime in the middle of the night, Shanshan would still be lying on the table. ”

"Isn't this and this, don't you want to go to bed early and wait for you to pick you up after work?"

Qi Qiuhua's face softened a lot when she heard Jiang Cong's answer, but looking at the thermometer, her fingers unconsciously increased in strength, making Jiang Cong cry out in pain again and again.

"Shanshan, in the past few days, you have caught a cold again, let's take a leave of absence for you, and you won't go to school."

Qi Qiuhua was blowing the cold elixir, and he really wanted to tear up the book on the table.

Jiang Shan also felt a sense of powerlessness coming over her, but she still said, "No, it's just a minor illness." ”

Fortunately, it was a cold, and it was indeed a minor illness.

With only a week left before the final exams, how could she waste the last few days together.

With that, she struggled to her feet and swept all the books on the table into her bag. But when she walked into the hallway, the sofa, the coffee table, and the piano in front of her were all dissolved into colorful points of light, and she leaned against the wall and gasped, and the chill rushed from her back to her brain.

Li Shen looked at the continuous rain curtain in front of him, opened his eyes wide, and found a figure in the rain.

Red umbrellas, blue umbrellas, colorful, but the faces under the umbrella are so unfamiliar.

Suddenly, a figure in a blue raincoat appeared in front of him, and he rushed forward, but the man turned his head and was just a school worker.

The bell kept ringing, and the white horse passed one class after another, and a morning passed, and Jiang Shan still didn't come.

Could it be that she is gone? As soon as this idea came to Li Shen's mind, he could no longer suppress it.

Although he wanted to be open-minded, at this moment, his heart was empty and a piece was missing.

Everyone in the classroom went to eat, and Li Shen was alone, plugging the headphones into his mobile phone.

"I'm like a rat running around in the rain

The waterfall poured down and I was soaking wet

I still miss you at the moment

Do you know

I know you'll be out of here at the end of summer."

The electricity was humming, and the rain was still falling outside the window. Li Shen silently recited the last lyric in his heart: "I know that at the end of summer, you will leave here."

That's what you're trying to say, but summer has just begun.

Li Shen looked at the handwriting left by the previous person on the table. He also lifted his pen, but he didn't know what to write.

Jiang Shan's singing voice still echoed in the cochlea.

"But I know that one day, you will suddenly appear again without warning"

Will she really show up without warning? Li Shen thought as the point of contact between the tip of the pen and the table blurred a circle of ink. His headphones were abruptly removed, and a hoarse singing voice rang in his ears, but familiar, the tone of the countless loops last night.

"But I know that one day, you'll show up without warning. Maybe that's fate."

Li Shen turned his head violently, only to see Jiang Shan's haggard face, wearing a mask, but his eyebrows were full of smiles, and he was still carrying a box of bento in his hand.

Reunion may be fate.

Jiang Shan patted Li Shen on the shoulder and said, "I know that you didn't eat lunch, and I really won't be by your side in the future, you can't do this." ”

Li Shen listened to the hoarse voice, and tested the temperature of Jiang Shan's forehead with the back of his hand, which was very hot. I couldn't help but say anxiously: "Why do you still come to class and rest at home." ”

Jiang Shan put the lunch box on the table and began to pack up his books, moving them one by one to a seat away from the crowd.

She replied nonchalantly: "It's okay, I've eaten cephalosporin in the morning, you have to be at the same table alone these days, I can't infect you." ”

But after a few rounds of moving books, she became a little physically exhausted, and the books in her arms fell to the ground.

Li Shen hurriedly squatted down and helped pick up the book.

Medical Cell Biology, Systematic Anatomy, Medical Microbiology, ...... Several tomes were scattered all over the place.

Li Shen looked at these books and frowned, but Jiang Shan didn't quickly hide these books, just slowly put them away.

Li Shen said puzzledly: "Why did you start reading these books?" ”

He remembered that Jiang Shan hated the smell of disinfectant water the most in his last life.

Jiang Shan folded the book, put a workbook on it, and his eyes flashed: "My mother said let me try to read it first, if you go abroad, it is better to study medicine." Do you want me to go abroad? If ......"

Li Shen looked at Jiang Shan's cowering gaze, and didn't think much about it anymore, hugged Jiang Shan's head into his arms, and comforted him softly: "Go ahead, it's good to study medicine, you are smart, you will definitely be able to do it." ”

Jiang Shan's heart was empty, she took advantage of Li Shen's feelings, and she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to do it.

She rubbed Li Shen's chest like a kitten, very affectionate, and then slowly pushed Li Shen away. His face was flushed and his hair was scattered.

"Don't get too close to me, it's going to be contagious. You eat quickly. With that, she slipped into the secluded seat.

Li Shen was eating alone, looking back from time to time, and he could always see Jiang Shan's eyes immediately drooping, pretending not to look at him.

Of course, Jiang Shan wanted to be next to Li Shen, so she looked at Li Shen's back like this, she was always empty, and she felt that Li Shen would leave the next moment.

Even if she wanted to restrain her thoughts, when she glanced at it, her eyes were always firmly attracted by Li Shen's back. The seat kept moving backwards, against the wall, and there was no way to retreat.

Now Jiang Shan is like a puppy that was sent to the countryside and raised by his grandparents. When you go to the countryside for the New Year, scratch the puppy's chin, and then leave resolutely. The little dog obviously wanted to follow, but he could only watch the smoke and dust raised by you as you left from a distance at the village gate, and let out a few low whimperes when the smoke and dust dissipated.

Her gaze was the same as that puppy, reluctant and helpless.

Li Shen couldn't stand this kind of gaze, he walked towards Jiang Shan step by step, put his face in front of her, and pressed one hand against the wall, condescending. The classroom light was blocked by him, and Jiang Shan curled up in the shadows.

The snort lingered, and Her Royal Highness seemed to be about to be taken advantage of.

She weakly pushed Li Shen's shoulder with her small hand, and she said hesitantly: "You, don't get so close, it will be contagious." ”

But Li Shen was indifferent, and pulled down her mask, revealing a pale and haggard face, lips like soft white roses.

Jiang Shan's cheeks were very hot, one was because of the blushing, and the other was because of the fever. The heat wave did not stop, and it rushed to Li Shen's face one by one.

This time it was his turn, and he put his hand behind Jiang Shan's head so that she wouldn't hit the wall.

The thin veins on the white rose were swept one by one, and the morning dew did not let go.

Li Shen got up and exhaled a long breath: "Now that I'm also infected, let's be at the same table." ”
