She is a very ordinary woman, with an ordinary birth, an ordinary background, an ordinary ability, an ordinary job, and even her appearance and figure are the most ordinary in the crowd. Therefore, Xie Qiu, the boyfriend of a university professor, is all her pride and dependence.

Just like on weekdays, she will listen to him, and he will decide everything big and small. Now in this unexpected situation, Zhang Xianxian couldn't think of a way to solve it, so he could only subconsciously continue to look for Xie Qiu.

"Hey, Mr. Wang? Is Mr. Xie in the lab? I just called him for a long time and no one answered, I have something urgent to find him! She didn't think too much about it, so she dialed the mobile phone of her boyfriend's assistant Wang Li.

Xie Qiu is a young professor at the School of Environment, a 985 university in the city, and Wang Li is his assistant professor and his most effective assistant on weekdays. Xie Qiu is a very homely science man, he doesn't talk much and doesn't like to socialize, usually except for his girlfriend Zhang Xianxian, the person with the most intimate relationship is Wang Li, the man who just stayed in school as a counselor.

"Hey, are you idle? Mr. Xie went to the supermarket, about half an hour ago. Well, when the experiment first started, it was 12:05 p.m., when he left the lab. He said that he was going home tonight to make sweet and sour pork ribs, and went to Maoyuan Supermarket to buy your favorite pork ribs. "Wang Li is as rigorous as Xie Qiu, and he is also clear in his speech and deeds.

"Oh, then I'll contact you again, thank you, Mr. Wang! Perhaps, the signal in that supermarket is really bad, and now it may be that the phone is out of battery. When he returns to the laboratory, please tell me to call me back as soon as possible, there is an emergency, thank you! ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xianxian remembered that Xie Qiu had said in the morning that he would make her her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs tonight. In fact, Xie Qiu's cooking skills are not very good, but the sweet and sour pork ribs he makes are delicious, and they are also Zhang Xianxian's favorite dish.

Xie Qiu's family, appearance, and figure are as ordinary as Zhang Xianxian, but his IQ and hard work are exceptionally outstanding. He is a very serious and rigorous science and engineering boy, he never broke his promise to his girlfriend, and in the more than three years that the two have known each other, Xie Qiu's down-to-earth, warm and patient appearance has never made her have internal friction or been wronged in this relationship, so she will believe in him very much.

Therefore, Zhang Xianxian at that time chose to continue to wait for Xie Qiu's call, and she returned to her workstation restlessly. Taking advantage of the inattention of his colleagues, he secretly stuffed the weird little wooden coffin and negatives into his handbag. All this, she was as careful as a thief, lest she attract the slightest attention or curiosity of others.

Because for her, it was an inexplicable pressure and burden, and the ordinariness since childhood made Zhang Xianxian unable to adapt to the dazzling focus of attention. She has become accustomed to a colorless and tasteless job like boiled water, and as the most ordinary clerk in the company, the work of having no sense of existence but being able to commute to and from work on time makes her down-to-earth and reassuring.

She has a real and warm dream, that is, to have a happy family and to have two lovely babies with Xie Qiu. She is willing to live a life of washing and cooking with her husband and children, willing to be the woman who takes care of the family behind Xie Qiu, and willing to live around her husband and children for the rest of her life.

However, until three o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Zhang Xianxian still did not receive any news from Xie Qiu, and Wang Li's reply was the same, Xie Qiu still did not return to school. So, she hid in the corridor over and over again to call Xie Qiu's phone, but it was still turned off without accident, and there was no reply to the WeChat left for him.

According to common sense, Xie Qiu went from school to buy things at the Maoyuan supermarket not far away, and it took an hour at most to go back and forth. At this time, it had been almost three hours since he went to the supermarket, where had Xie Qiu gone?

Thinking of the small wooden coffin she received at noon and the crow she suddenly found, Zhang Xianxian's inner fear and anxiety had reached its peak, and she had no way to stay in the office for another minute. Just when she was about to go to the department leader to ask for leave and go to Maoyuan Supermarket to find Xie Qiu, the mobile phone in her hand suddenly rang.

"Hey, Xie Qiu, where are you? Why is the phone turned off? She grabbed her phone and rushed into the hallway outside the office, shouting in a hurry.

At that time, Zhang Xianxian was too anxious, and he didn't have a phone number at all, who would have thought that the other party was actually his mother.

On the phone, her mother cried and said, "It's so idle, your father has just been diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer, you, you should come to the hospital quickly!" ”

"Huh? How so? Didn't Dad just take a physical examination report today? Zhang Xianxian was stunned again.

The bad luck of this day, it seems that from the moment she received the small red wooden coffin, it was like an endless mountain of five fingers, overwhelming her to death.

"You, come on, I don't know what to do, the report says that the stomach and stomach cancer are in an advanced stage! How can I live after this, you, your father is only sixty-five years old, you shouldn't die so early! Mother sobbed silently.

"Mom, don't worry, don't worry, maybe it's a misdiagnosis, wait for me to go over right away!" She swallowed hard.

The mother hung up the phone crying, Zhang Xianxian quickly found the leader in charge, asked for half a day's personal leave, and then rushed to the tertiary hospital where his father took the physical examination report. Years later, when Zhang Xianxian recalled the experience of that day, there was only one word that could come to mind in his mind, and that was fragmentation.

She remembers that in the hospital, she saw her father, who had been diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer, and for the first time was silent like a statue in the noise. He hung his head slightly, stared blankly at the ground, sat motionless in the chair in the hallway, and suddenly closed his mouth that was always talking.

"Dad, it's okay, maybe it's a misdiagnosis, let's go to a few more hospitals to investigate!" She forced a smile and said pretending to be calm.

The appearance of his daughter interrupted the silence of his father, his expression obviously hesitated, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Well, well, I also think it was a mistake, a misdiagnosis!" ”

"Daughter, daughter, I, I..." The mother, who had always been pampered, had begun to sob, she couldn't bear any pressure at all, and her emotions had collapsed in advance.

"It's okay Mom, Dad must be fine, I'm here, you still have me, let's find a few more hospitals to take a look, it must be a misdiagnosis!" Zhang Xianxian said with a smile desperately.

At this time, she didn't dare to cry and couldn't cry, as the only child in the family, Zhang Xianxian, who was still an adult, began the journey of taking her father to see a doctor. And her boyfriend Xie Qiu has also disappeared inexplicably since that afternoon.
