Luotang Pavilion is not her residence, it is a cloth shop opened by her aunt Ji Xinhe.

When Ji Zhentang arrived home, Ji Xinhe fell asleep on the rattan chair on the second floor. There was a faint snoring in the muffled environment.

My aunt was widowed and did not remarry at an early age, and now she is raising her only son and running this old cloth shop.

Ji Zhentang tiptoed to help her sort out a batch of newly purchased fabrics.

Afraid of disturbing her sleep, Ji Zhentang took the goods out and closed the door. A plastic bag was wrapped in the crack of the door, and she pulled it like this, making a stabbing noise, and my aunt still woke up.

When Ji Xinhe heard the sound, he suddenly raised his body. Seeing that it was her, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiaotang, why did you come back so late?" ”

Ji Zhentang said: "It's only nine o'clock, not too late." I went to Zhong's house for dinner today. ”

Ji Xinhe piled up the messy goods at hand, tied her messy hair, and asked her as she came out: "How do I remember that your boyfriend hasn't been talking for a long time, and he has met his parents?" ”

"His family wanted him to marry, but he didn't want to, so he pushed me out."

"Marriage? What years have you come, and you still come to arrange a marriage," Ji Xinhe said with a smile, "It seems that being born in a big family is not so free." ”

Ji Zhentang said: "It is no different from our small family, marriage is a decision made by all parties after weighing the pros and cons. It's just that the rich have less freedom, and fame, fortune and face are important to them. Marriage matches can't be taken lightly - Auntie, is there anything else to eat in the store? ”

"It seems that the Zhong family's food didn't feed you."

Ji Zhentang exaggeratedly said: "I almost starved to death on the road." ”

After eating her favorite coconut milk mango rice, Ji Xinhe crouched at the table and asked questions, and Ji Zhentang explained everything.

"Really? You talk to his mother like that? ”

Ji Zhentang stuffed grapes into his mouth: "Yes, I really said that." Who cares, never going again anyway. If you offend, you can offend, if you have the ability to arrest me, I want to see how powerful their Zhong family is. ”

Ji Xinhe smiled bitterly and shook her head, not knowing how to evaluate her behavior.

After eating, Ji Zhentang returned to her workbench.

Ji Xinhe specially reserved a room for her on the second floor of the store for drawing manuscripts for Ji Zhentang.

There was a gusting wind outside the arched window, Ji Zhentang yawned, closed the window tightly, and plugged in the latch.

She picked up the manuscript paper that had been blown to the ground by the wind.

Lift the pen and turn on the lamp.

On the table is a half-drawn picture of jewelry.

It's been a few days since the train of thought was broken. When Ji Zhentang was painting, his mind was full of words: persuading people to learn jewelry design, the sky thundered. Burning money and being busy, unless you are born in a top family like the Zhong family, you will probably have no troubles.

The biggest lie in the world is that all men are created equal.

If she was the little sister of the Zhong family, she might have been written from the moment she was born.

"What about you? Have you ever thought of getting married? Ji Xinhe sat on the small bed behind Ji Zhentang, and by her light, she was embroidering with a needle.

Ji Zhentang said: "Maybe one day I can believe in love and talk about longevity." ”

Ji Xinhe finished the embroidery quickly, bit off the thread, and didn't remind him when he left: "Don't paint in the middle of the night, rest early." ”

"No way, the deadline is imminent."

The manuscript at hand is homework, and I have to turn it in tomorrow.

Ji Zhentang's sketch was in the early hours of the morning, and there were already chickens crowing outside the alley, and the mist was accumulating, bringing cool air.

She sorted out her work, and when she got up, her heart suddenly twitched.

Ji Zhentang held his chest and leaned on the table for about half a minute, waiting for the pain to pass, and the panic continued.

She quickly lay down on the bed, and after a few minutes, her heartbeat slowly returned to normal.

At three o'clock in the morning, she searched for symptoms on the web, but Baidu told her that her life was short.

She hurriedly threw her phone aside and immediately lay down to sleep.

-

Survived smoothly until the next morning.

Ji Zhentang found that she didn't know how to get Zhong Heng's cancer cells back. Yesterday I promised to give it to my mentor for him, but I completely forgot about it. I wanted to call him at first, but I remembered what happened last night and immediately dispelled this thought.

In the morning, I went to the morning shop where I often went to buy a zongzi, and when I paid the money, I saw the words "balance of 2.14", three yuan for zongzi. Helplessly, click on the flower, and display the payment code.

In the morning, there were two Ma Yuan classes, Ji Zhentang had been drawing, and when she was about to get out of class, she remembered something, and glanced back at her roommate Su Yunli.

"Pear, do you have electricity in your car? I want to ride it and I'm going to deliver something to the medical village in a while. ”

Su Yunli raised a small and delicate face, with small outlines and big facial features, showing a very straightforward sweetness, and she asked, "Do you send it to your boyfriend?" ”

Ji Zhentang said: "Yes. ”

Su Yunli said, "I'll send it for you, I just went to the medical department to find someone." ”

She hesitated.

Su Yunli said: "Don't worry, you won't lose it." ”

Ji Zhentang thought for a while: "Then I'll tell him." ”

The specimen was handed over, and Su Yunli asked curiously: "Do they usually raise guinea pigs?" ”

Ji Zhentang said: "Yes, I raised a shed. He also raised rabbits, planted this thing in their bodies, observed their condition, and slowly watched them die of cancer, which he used for research and paper. ”

She was about to say, "Isn't it cruel? Before the words fell, Su Yunli laughed: "It's so interesting, do they all do this for medical students in class?" ”

“……”

Ji Zhentang smiled dryly, not knowing what to say: "It should be, I don't know much about it." ”

She turned around, listened to the class for a while, and heard Lin Guixue's voice approaching: "Do you think that pears seem to be interesting to Zhong Heng?" ”

"To whom? Zhong Heng? Ji Zhentang was taken aback: "What advantages does he have besides his face?" Why would anyone like a large carrot with a debuff? ”

Lin Guixue said: "Isn't it enough to be handsome, besides, he is rich and generous to girls." I heard that he takes his girlfriend out to live in a five-star hotel - don't you want to experience it? Five-star! ”

Ji Zhentang quickly raised his hands to prove his innocence: "There is no blessing to bear, I even have to count the rice to eat when I go to his house for dinner, for fear that if I eat too much, I will be looked at by the young master." ”

Lin Guixue laughed: "Did you two quarrel?" How do you feel that you are so angry with him today. ”

Ji Zhentang held his cheeks and said, "Feelings are already in jeopardy. ”

She turned her pen twice, remembering the incident of last night, but the first thing that came to mind was not Zhong Heng's face, but the man who lined a top-notch school grass face.

The pen in his hand stopped slowly, the charm of a man is very important, in comparison, Zhong Heng's face is not enough no matter how handsome he looks.

Zhong Yubai said it to the point, he has a dull childishness.

Ji Zhentang didn't want to talk to Zhong Heng very much, she didn't reply to last night's message, and he didn't send it. But he was still afraid that Su Yunli would run away in vain, so he informed him: Are you in the laboratory? My roommate went to give you cancer cells, and she said drop by.

Zhong Heng: Who?

Ji Zhentang: Su Yunli.

Zhong Heng: It's useless, and if you don't use the medium, you'll die early.

“……”

Ji Zhentang's heart was raised, and he wanted to ask him if he had any remedy.

Zhong Heng seemed to guess what was on her mind, and said quite gently: It doesn't matter, I'll buy it again.

She hurriedly summoned Su Yunli: Pear, that thing is useless, don't go.

Su Yunli: Ah, I've arrived.

Su Yunli: It's okay, just return the thing to its original owner. [Cute] [Cute]

Ji Zhentang: Then I'm sorry for you [Bixin] [Love you]

After she sent the message, she felt that Lin Guixue's words were somewhat researchable. Other people's hospitality is not for her, and if she is polite, her gratitude seems wishful thinking.

I thought deeply and got angry because it was unfair. Some people don't even have to hook their fingers, and there are always people lining up to be happy.

She returned to the chat interface with Zhong Heng.

Ji Zhentang hesitated, pondered, and finally slowly typed five words: Let's break up.

The moment she pressed send, she thought:

If he says yes, thank goodness, save the quarrel and everyone will be happy.

If he humiliates her, she blocks all contact information. It is also logical that old and dead do not get along.

However, Zhong Heng neither agreed nor scolded her.

He sent two—

Number 1: I'm sorry.

Rule 2: Don't be angry, okay? I never wanted to target you.

Seeing his apology is unprecedented. She couldn't even imagine him saying it to his face, not at all.

He is like this, but it makes her feel a little blocked in her heart.

Maybe because no one loves her, she will cherish a little kindness when others give her a little kindness.

But such a good thing is too cheap.

Ji Zhentang buckled the phone and didn't want to reply.

The brown bear backpack that did not leave her body was pinched by her ears, and Ji Zhentang put her nose over and sniffed the smell on the bag. Sin Chau is an island, and there is a smell of dampness on the island all year round, which permeates the campus, buses, and subways. When this bag was sent from there, it also smelled like this. When she closed her eyes and smelled, it was as if she saw the sea breeze sweeping through the coconut groves, and saw the clear sky and the clear sea, and she stood in it as if she had never grown up.

Mom said, "There's a Korean girl in our coffee factory, and it's cute to carry this." I asked her to buy one for Ah Zhen too. ”

But after a few years, the smell on the bag is gone.

How can you keep a love that has crossed the ocean?

The Proust effect slowly wears off.

For the next three days, the days passed very tightly.

Ji Zhentang didn't think about tea and rice.

She clicked on the chat history with her father countless times, looked at the date of the last payment, and considered how to ask her old father for living expenses in a cute and polite way.

The third time I hit out the grimace expression, I deleted it again.

Wait a little longer, she comforts herself, Dad must have a hard time!

On the fourth day, Ji Zhentang set off from the school dormitory to prepare for class.

The sky is clear today.

At the intersection leading to the teaching building, several cars drove over, and the scene was slightly eye-catching, and Ji Zhentang and Lin Guixue beside her turned their heads to look at it together.

The principal's red flag is in the front, a white car is close behind, a black car is behind, and a Bentley is driving leisurely between the two cars with black and white license plates.

Security personnel lined up on either side.

The battle was too big to attract onlookers.

Lin Guixue: "Is it a city leader to visit?" ”

If so, it's not surprising that the school is often a rarity.

The two walked in the crowd of students who were in a hurry and didn't pay much attention.

It's just that after a few cars stopped, Ji Zhentang froze when he saw the person getting out of the Bentley.

She turned her head to look at the figure of the man walking beside the headmaster, and then fixed her gaze.

Behind them were two foreigners with curly hair. Among several people, she recognized his back.

The youngest man in the center of the visitor, his height and appearance are eye-catching.

In the orderly and solemn flow of people around him, he looked flat and relaxed, narrowed his eyes, bowed slightly to match the height of the principal, listened to the principal's eyebrows fluttering and boastful, and nodded from time to time to show that he listened sincerely, with his hands in his trouser pockets, revealing a cold wrist, and his gestures were gentle and calm.

Zhong is more than white.

Ji Zhentang pronounced his name with his mouth.

He is wearing an ordinary suit today, pure black color, and elegant temperament. The more indifferent, the more inattentive it is.

Lin Guixue walked forward, saw that she couldn't move, and looked back at her: "What's wrong?" ”

Ji Zhentang came back to his senses: "What, I suddenly found that I didn't bring the hard drive of my ppt." ”

Lin Guixue: "In the dormitory? Go back and get it. ”

Ji Zhentang nodded hurriedly: "Okay, you go to the classroom first." I'll be right there and help me explain why. ”

Lin Guixue: "Hurry, hurry." I'll help you drag the time. ”

Ji Zhentang turned back for a while, and turned around to make sure that Lin Guixue had gone around into the teaching building. She walked through the door of the school museum instead.

I wanted to go through the manual passage without swiping the turnstile, but the security guard stepped forward: "Classmate, swipe the card to enter." ”

Ji Zhentang touched his pocket, "My student card is not on me, but I am a student of Qingdao University, can't I enter?" ”

The security guard pointed to the booklet next to him, "Then you register." ”

"Okay."

She wrote and filled in the information, and the footsteps of the person in front of her gradually faded away, and Ji Zhentang sped up the speed of filling in.

There are not many people in the hall during class time. Recently, there was an exhibition of the works of old alumni, and Ji Zhentang looked left and right to confirm that there was no one she was looking for on the first floor.

She walked up the steps.

Soon a conversation between men was heard.

Ji Zhentang held his breath and peeked through the corner.

There were seven or eight men gathered together and pointed at a pair of masterpieces, Ji Zhentang swept around and found that Zhong Yubai was not among them.

Continue to hold your breath and look around again.

Not really.

Could it be just ...... Did she read it wrong?

Thinking so, Ji Zhentang unconsciously went around to another exhibition area, and met a few people who visited the exhibition sporadically, but found nothing.

Walking back and forth for a whole circle, Ji Zhentang suspected that he was dazzled.

She stopped in front of a wall of student artworks.

Ji Zhentang stared blankly at the painting on the wall for a while.

Soon, more than ten seconds of work.

Suddenly, someone knocked twice on the small cherry in her hair ring.

It was a very light movement, but the Tianling cover next to her, the muffled knock made Ji Zhentang turn his head suddenly.

Zhong Yubai stood behind her, holding a business card in his hand, and it was the corner of this business card that he had just knocked on her little cherry.

Looking at her dull eyes, he asked softly, "Looking for me?" ”
