After dinner, Shen Lan only stayed in the study for less than an hour. Before Xu Guowei returned from the party, she ended today's work and left Xu Zhe's home.

Of course, he walked with Xu Zhe.

The girl tried her best to convince herself not to care about Aunt Zeng Jing's gaze, and focused her attention on the young man next to her.

Under the street lamp, the figures of the two were stretched very long.

Shen Lan suddenly said: "I found out after four months of not seeing me, you have grown taller again, obviously." ”

Xu Zhe: "It's good, you should be able to pass 1.7 meters in the third year of junior high school." ”

"It's a pity that I'm as tall as me now, and it won't be long before I'm taller."

Although she said 'I'm sorry', the smile on the girl's face clearly meant something else.

Xu Zhe analyzed seriously: "I now ensure the quality of sleep every day, ensure the sleep time, eat a nutritious diet, and have a lot of outdoor sports every week." If this situation is not high, it will be too unjust. ”

Shen Lan: "Then do you think it should grow to a meter in the future?" ”

Xu Zhe: "Whatever, it's not up to you to decide this matter." If you want me to say that in the future, I will be more sure that my bank account will have a few digits. ”

Shen Lan: "So, how many digits will be in the bank account?" ”

Xu Zhe wanted to say at least nine figures, after all, a small goal would be nine figures. But the words swirled around in his mouth, but he swallowed them back.

He shook his head: "There's actually nothing to say about this, the money is just incidental, the point is to create something." ”

Shen Lan smiled and asked, "Is this your outlook on life?" ”

Xu Zhe: "Yes, when you come to this world, you can't go in vain. ”

Under the street lamp, Shen Lan stared at the young man's side face and said softly, "I think so too." ”

————

After being sent home by Xu Zhe, Shen Lan went to bed.

Maybe it's because today is extraordinarily full and tired, or maybe it's because of the complex emotions of joy and worry that make her have a different dream.

There is no Xu Zhe in this dream.

Shen Lan still experienced the incident of being stolen from her billiard hall. Without the teenager's protection, she was knocked with a stick. The injury was not serious, but that encounter left a psychological shadow, which led to the dysfunction of the subsequent math competition.

Of course, even if she didn't play well in the competition, the excellent results in the high school entrance examination still allowed her to go to the provincial key high school, which is the experimental middle school.

In high school, she didn't compete again. Although he has gradually lost the heart to be proud of the top students of his peers, his extraordinary intelligence is still there after all, at least he is still one of the top students in key high schools. After the college entrance examination, she went to a key university that was not bad.

Clinical Medicine.

It is easier for others to go to college, but Shen Lan and her classmates in the same major only feel more hard. And in the depressed five years of undergraduate, she gradually learned that if she didn't want to give up her previous efforts and wanted to really become a doctor, then a bachelor's degree alone was not enough.

She went to a master's degree and then a doctorate...... The long and lonely road to study has made her already cold and lonely temperament colder and lonelier.

When the road to study finally came to an end and I walked into the hospital with a dazzling academic degree, the grinding did not end, but another beginning.

The seniors, who were twenty years older, lived an enviable life, not only with a decent status, but also with a good income.

But a young doctor like Shen Lan is completely different. Starting from regular training, her meager income, long-term overtime, and irregular life and rest often make her feel more unhealthy than the patients who come to see a doctor.

She often doubts her life choices, but there is one thing she has long been convinced.

That is, I am afraid that I will be lonely to death.

Although she has dark circles under her eyes and begins to lose her hair again, Shen Lan's appearance is still eye-catching among female doctors. But after thirty, it became more and more difficult for her to endure mediocre communication, to endure meaningless nonsense. But she found that almost every conversation began with nonsense and ended with nonsense, which made her deeply impatient.

She was also dragged on a blind date by elders and friends, but no one could make an appointment with her a second time.

Life has become extremely boring, monotonous, and boring...... Fortunately, she still finds a little bit of joy in her work, but only a little.

There is no end in sight to this kind of life. When the cement sealed her heart, Shen Lan woke up from her dream.

In the lonely darkness of the night, she sat up and gasped for air.

I was in a trance for a while before I remembered who I was.

Shen Lan hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, ran around the bathroom, turned on the light, and faced the mirror.

In the mirror is a young girl with short hair. Although the eyes are a little short-sighted, and the things in the field of vision are a little blurry, only by getting closer, you can see the face in the mirror, delicate, with the youth of sixteen or seventeen years old, the years have not yet engraved any traces, and there are endless possibilities.

"Whew...... Why do you have dreams like that? ”

Shen Lan muttered to herself.

At this time, recalling, this dream does not seem to be too long, but the span is quite large. In her dreams, she didn't really go through the exams, the long learning process, just flashed many fragments, and each fragment contained similar emotions.

Depressed, tired, lonely, and boring.

In her dreams, she seemed to wonder if the major she studied was really suitable for her. After all, she didn't have the ambition to treat diseases and save people since she was a child, but she just listened to the teacher's guidance and read the application guide, and everyone seemed to say that it was good to study medicine, the doctor's status was high, and there were professional barriers, and her job was stable......

But it shouldn't be for you.

Everyone has different personalities, different interests, and different talents, so the path of suitability is not the same. In adolescence, it is not enough to think that your academic performance is better than others, you should also think about what kind of life you want to choose.

Shen Lan was suddenly very glad that she had met that person and was brought into the door of programming by him again. Rather than figuring out where to cut the scalpel, she felt that building logic with code was more suitable for her.

What's more, if there is that person, his future will not be so boring and lonely......

Shen Lan hurriedly returned to the bedroom, sat down on the edge of the bed, and picked up her mobile phone.

She suddenly wanted to call. It's as if only by hearing that person's voice can you prove that you are really out of that long and lonely dream, and you can regain your grip on the colorful life.

So, she dialed it out.

After waiting for nearly half a minute, the other party answered the phone.

Xu Zhe's angry voice rang in the mobile phone: "Wake me up at four o'clock in the morning, you don't want me to grow taller, don't you!" ”

Being woken up at such a time will make anyone angry. But Shen Lan wanted to be willful this time, because she had something to say.

"I'm sorry, but ...... Thank you. ”

Xu Zhe was inexplicable: "Thank you for what?" ”

Shen Lan: "There are a lot of people I want to thank you. Because, I just dreamed, I dreamed of you. ”

This is a lie, but Shen Lan feels that it is not a lie in a sense. Because the reason why the dream just now became like that was because there was no him. There is no him in the dream, but he is everywhere around the dream.

Xu Zhe was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't dream, I slept soundly. ”

Shen Lan: "I'm sorry...... I'll find a way to compensate you tomorrow? ”

Xu Zhe: "How do you want to compensate me?" ”
