Zhang Mei expressed her welcome to the guests in heavy grief, but Ye Dongming still locked himself in the house and did not say a word.

Zhang Mei knows a little about Zhou Ran and knows that he is a member of the "cautious faction", and like Zhang Tianlin, he is also her husband's opponent. However, she has no hostility towards Zhou Ran, she also cares about current affairs and knows this person's contributions.

Even, on some points of view, she very much agrees with him.

In a conversation with Zhou Ran, Zhang Mei inadvertently said something about Zhang Tianlin's previous visit.

At first, Zhou Ran didn't care, thinking that as Ye Guangli's leader, it was normal for Zhang Tianlin to come here. However, when he saw Zhang Mei's worry, he seemed to think of something.

So, he proposed to go and see Ye Dongming.

Ye Dongming sat alone in a wheelchair, his legs were empty, and when he saw Zhou Ran coming in, he didn't even say hello.

When Zhou Ran saw his state, he was really taken aback.

After Ye Dongming's car accident, Zhou Ran came once, and when he saw that he was still quite energetic, he seemed to have come out of his grief. At this time, the decadent young man in front of him made him secretly sad.

Desperate people don't just show themselves inside, but even their eyes will be dull.

"Dongming, my name is Zhou Ran, are you okay?"

Ye Dongming didn't respond, not even a nod.

"Dongming, I know you're in pain right now, maybe you've been in pain all the time." Zhou Ran said softly, "But, from now on, you have to stand up." ”

The word "station" is definitely a fatal blow to Ye Dongming.

"Hehe," Ye Dongming sneered, "Professor Zhou, are you talking about relying on such legs?" ”

As he spoke, he swung his empty pants vigorously.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else." Zhou Ran realized that he had lost his words and hurriedly apologized.

"Alas," Ye Dongming sighed, "You don't have to apologize, I understand what you mean." But how can there be hope for light in a dark life? ”

"You're too pessimistic."

"No, no," Ye Dongming denied, "It's not pessimism, it's despair." ”

His tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.

Zhou Ran was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Dongming, I don't want to argue with you about anything, after all, I haven't experienced your pain, and I'm not qualified to judge it." However, what I want to say is that whether you think you are pessimistic or hopeless, it is actually just a state of your heart. Part of this state is influenced by the outside world, but more often it is governed by your heart. What you end up being depends on what you want to be. I want you to be stronger, for yourself and for your mother. ”

Zhou Ran's words came from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to see such a young man continue to be decadent. He silently thought in his heart that he would give Ye Dongming as much help as possible in the future.

Hearing these words, Ye Dongming still looked blank, but his heart was full of waves.

He understood that compared with Zhang Tianlin's purposeful arrival, Zhou Ran seemed more pure. He believes that Zhou Ran is out of a genuine concern and help.

However, this kind of gratefulness, Ye Dongming couldn't express, whether it was expression or language - he hadn't touched these emotions for a long time.

Zhou Ran naturally couldn't detect Ye Dongming's inner fluctuations, and seeing that he was still in a daze, he had to sigh slightly.

Finally, he said softly: "I believe that you understand these truths, and I will not influence you with those shallow and obvious morals." You don't need to be reformed, all you need is to open your heart knot and go on the road well. ”

As he spoke, he placed a business card on the table.

"This is my business card, you can contact me at any time. Although I have some different views from your father's, I have a lot of respect for him from a scientific point of view. I don't want to see his son living in the gloom, I hope you think about it. ”

Zhou Ran looked at him, waiting for a response.

Ye Dongming raised his eyebrows and smiled, his expression was complicated, and he couldn't see what mood he was.

After a while, he said, "How is your relationship with Zhang Tianlin?" ”

"He is a senior, a friend, and a guide for me."

"Guide?"

"Hehe," Zhou Ran laughed dryly, "that was a long time ago, and it was he who introduced me to work in the Ecological Institute." ”

"Oh, that's the grace of knowing." Ye Dongming said that his mood seemed to be better.

"So to speak."

"So that's why you followed him into the 'Cautious Faction'?" Ye Dongming asked.

"Can't say it exactly......"

Zhou Ran didn't expect Ye Dongming to ask these questions, he was not good at words, but he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

"What should I say then?" Ye Dongming asked.

"What, you're more interested in these questions?" Zhou Ran tried to change the subject.

"No," Ye Dongming said lightly, "I just want to confirm one thing." ”

"Can you tell me about something?" Zhou Ran asked.

Ye Dongming stopped talking, and resumed his silent expression, just fluffing out a sentence: "Zhang Tianlin came here a few days ago." ”

That's it, there's no follow-up.

When Zhou Ran heard this, he vaguely felt a little strange, but he couldn't say it.

So I couldn't help but think: "Why did he tell me that Zhang Tianlin had been here?" And you have to ask me about my relationship with Zhang Tianlin? ”

"Is that thing you want to confirm related to Dean Zhang?" Zhou Ran asked tentatively.

Ye Dongming didn't reply, but from his dim eyes, Zhou Ran saw the answer.

"You want to know what kind of person he is? Or do you want to say if you can trust him? Zhou Ran tried to ask, but there was silence again.

"You haven't said why you joined the 'Cautious faction'......"

Zhou Ran thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's very simple, I think his point of view is correct and can lead mankind to better development." ”

"So, you believe him?"

"Yes." Zhou Ran said firmly, "At least in this matter." ”

"Thank you very much for coming, but I'm a little tired......" Ye Dongming said weakly, obviously not wanting to continue talking.

"You ......" Zhou Ran was speechless, knowing that he was giving an "eviction order".

"You have a good rest, remember to contact me."

"Hmm." Ye Dongming replied absentmindedly.

……

After talking with Zhang Mei for a while, Zhou Ran was ready to leave.

Once again, she expressed her gratitude, because it had been a long time since she had seen her son communicate with others.

"It's nothing, I'm sure this kid will open his heart, if you need help, you can contact me at any time." Zhou Ran said modestly, "By the way, just now Dongming said that Dean Zhang has been here, did you talk about anything?" ”

"I didn't say anything," she said after a moment's hesitation, "just to come and see Dongming, and talk in the house for a while." ”

Zhou Ran saw her eyes flickering, and knew that she was hiding something, which must be related to Zhang Tianlin. Since she didn't say it, it was inconvenient for her to ask any further.

Just as Zhou Ran was about to leave, Ye Dongming's door suddenly opened, and a wheelchair slowly "walked" out.

"Professor Zhou, please tell Dean Zhang, I agree."

After saying that, he turned his wheelchair and "walked" back to the room, slamming the door shut.
