Red Red

In the spring of the next year, after a drizzle, tender green leaf buds appeared on the wet branches.The air warms up, roughly between fifteen and nineteen degrees.

Originally, this was Shen Ju'an's favorite season, it was the kind of warmth that greeted Hexi after shedding the cold, it always made people feel that they could start over.But before he could feel the first touch of spring in Beijing, Shen Juan fell ill.

Lying on the bed in the dormitory, he coughed terribly along with the symphony playing on the radio, feeling like he was going to cough out his heart and lungs.He had never felt so uncomfortable, his hands and feet were cold, his forehead was sweating, and his whole body was hot.Chapped lips can only be moistened with cup after cup of water.The mouth is full of bitterness and lightness, even drinking egg soup feels like drinking plain water.

The roommate accompanied him to the medical office to get an injection and prescribed medicine.The medicine was so bitter that his tongue was numb, Shen Juan pinched his nose and swallowed it down in one gulp, but what he got in return was a more severe cough, which made his stomach twitch.

He was so weak that he collapsed on the bed and didn't want to move.

All the people in the same dormitory had gone to class. It seemed that the whole dormitory building was empty and there was no sound at all.

On the west-facing balcony, the reddish sun at four o'clock in the afternoon shines through the window screens on the pale walls and Shen Juan's haggard face.

He blinked his eyelashes, his pupils turning a light orange in the sunlight.Turning his gaze, he looked towards the west window, only to see a dazzling red and white.At that moment, I felt clearly for a moment that I seemed to be isolated from the world.That huge sense of loneliness welled up in his heart, and he actually became a little scared...

After Shen Ju'an gradually fell asleep, he had a dream. He dreamed of a white sea, golden sunlight sprinkled on the sea surface, flocks of seagulls circling past, leaving the tall masts of the distant ships, and there was a gentle sound in his ears. The sound of the waves, everything is beautiful like an oil painting.What he saw in front of his eyes was a young boy sitting on a big rock by the sea and waving to the people on the shore below.

The boy was wearing short sleeves, a pair of baggy army green trousers, and bangs that hung down to his eyebrows. He looked delicate and cute.He laughed like the wind, facing the sun, leaving only a back against the light.

When Shen Juan woke up, it was completely dark.

He opened his eyes, hurt by the bright halo in the room.Immediately afterwards, he turned over and kicked off the quilt that was pressing on his body to dissipate the heat.

The roommate came back at some point and was lying on the bed next to him reading a book.Seeing him move, he turned his face and asked, "You're awake, do you feel better?"

He shook his head slightly, feeling discomfort from every inch of his body.

"Do you want some water? I'll get you a glass of water."

"No need!" Said weakly, suddenly felt a little cold again, and was covered again by the quilt that had just been lifted.

"Then are you hungry, let me get you something to eat?"

After shaking his head a few more times, he turned around and curled up.He closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

When he woke up again this time, dawn had already broken in the sky, and there was a faint twilight shrouded outside the window.

A burst of urination hit him, and he couldn't help pulling himself out of the quilt, his limbs were still weak and weak.Putting on the slippers, trying to restrain my drowsy mind, I stood firm and walked to the toilet.

The other people in the dormitory were still soundly asleep, and it seemed that even a loud shout might not be able to wake them up.

After urinating, Shen Ju'an got into the bed trembling with the slightest air-conditioning.He buried his face in the quilt, no longer sleepy, but his head was still groggy and uncomfortable.

But because of the nasal congestion, I felt short of breath when I lay down.He poked his head out again, then sat up slowly, leaning his back against the cold head of the bed, and glanced at the faint light outside the window.

For some reason, at that moment, he actually thought of one thing: I don't know what it feels like to die.Is it a long sleep like sleeping, or there is a dream, living another kind of dreamlike life.But in the blink of an eye, I thought again, this feeling is what the brain tells me, if a person dies, the brain also dies, what kind of feeling would it be...

The roommate sleeping on the side turned over, making the bed creak.

Ben was thinking about the problem of the century, but the appearance of that person involuntarily appeared in his mind.It doesn't matter whether he is dead or not, as long as he is still alive in the world, there will be a little bit of thinking in life more or less.Immediately afterwards, a sentence popped up in my heart: "I don't know, has he been to Ningxia now?"

two months later.

At the end of spring, the branches are flourishing, the sun is warm and warm, and the breeze is blowing, bringing a slightly sweet fragrance.

I have been lazy all winter, there are only a few people outside, talking in twos and threes.

Shen Ju'an hadn't exercised for a long time, so he asked Wang Xin and the others to pick up basketball together, chasing after each other on the court, really full of vitality.

Just as he was playing the ball vigorously, he suddenly saw Wang Xin turning his head, glanced at the stone road beside the court, and muttered: "Zheng Hao?!"

Hearing the word Zheng Hao, Shen Ju'an also stopped his movements, followed his gaze and saw Zheng Hao in blue clothes, waving to several people with a smile on his face.

Wang Xin threw the ball into the hands of the person beside him, and then happily ran towards Zheng Hao.He put his arms around Zheng Hao's shoulders and joked with a smile: "The big plaster cast on your leg has finally been removed." He glanced down at his leg and asked, "How is it? Does it still hurt?"

Zheng Hao raised his leg and shook it, with a contented expression, he said: "The pain is gone." Then he raised his eyes to look at the vigorous figure under the sun, and said hello: "Xiao An!"

Shen Juan lifted up his shorts, and wiped the sweat off his face with the corner of his clothes.He smiled amiably at the two people not far away, and then ran over.

"How did you get out of the hospital?"

He ran in front of Zheng Hao, and looked at the person in front of him with some joy, he seemed to have gained weight.It seems that the food he ate while he was recuperating was pretty good.

Zheng Hao raised his hand and pushed Wang Xin's arm away from his shoulder, then put it on Shen Ju'an's shoulder, and replied: "I have been discharged from the hospital early, and I have been lying at home for almost two months, and my whole body is almost useless." She winked at the front: "Come on, let's sit over there."

"it is good!"

Wang Xin clicked his tongue and reached out to put his hand on his shoulder: "Then what about me?"

"You find a place to cool off by yourself."

Zheng Hao smiled at him as he spoke, and then led Shen Juan forward.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xin was not forgiving, and chased after him jokingly: "Okay, you, if you have Xiaoan, you don't want me anymore. I was the one who saw you first."

Zheng Hao turned his head and gave him a blank look: "Don't tease you, the brothers in the stadium are calling you, you don't have to hurry up."

Hearing what he said, Wang Xin turned to look at the court, and those people were indeed calling to him.So he pointed to Zheng Hao and said, "Take me to dinner tomorrow, or else you won't be able to play with me in the future."

"Row!"

"That's a deal." Wang Xin snorted pretending to be angry, then turned and ran towards the stadium.

After he left, Zheng Hao took Shen Juan's shoulders and walked under the sycamore trees.There are a few stone benches under the tree, and a few leaves falling with the wind

The two went to sit down on the stone bench, Shen Juan picked up his coat and put it on.Zheng Hao looked at him and asked, "I heard that you were sick a while ago?"

Shen Juan hesitated for a while, then continued to put on his coat, and replied, "Who told you that?"

"Wang Xin, it is said that it is quite serious."

"It's nothing serious, just a common cold, not a disease." Shen Juan said calmly.

After hearing this, Zheng Hao raised his eyebrows: "That's not a common cold. I heard about the flu a while ago, and there are people who can't afford it. I heard that you almost coughed up blood?"

Shen Juan sneered: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I'm really coughing up blood, how can I still be in school." Then he caught a glimpse of Zheng Hao's serious look, and said impatiently: "Don't look at me like that, I'm fine now Oh, don’t let you mention it, I’m sick again.”

"That's great? No more coughing?"

"Hey, really, why am I lying to you? Your broken leg can grow back again. I have a cold. Is it possible that it will take two months to heal?!"

Since Shen Ju'an looked really lively, Zheng Hao also stretched his eyebrows, and said cheerfully: "Yes!"

Then he raised his eyes to look at the court, and Wang Xin happened to take a step and dunk, which caused a burst of applause.

After a while, Shen Ju'an said, "It must be boring after staying at home for so long."

"Yeah, I almost got sick from boredom, and you didn't come to see me..." Zheng Hao said, pretending to be disappointed.

Shen Ju'an thought that he was really upset, so he hurriedly argued: "I have a lot of things to do at the beginning of school. The courses are busy, and I really can't find time."

"Stop making excuses, don't want to come if you don't want to come, anyway, I'm not rare."

"Hey, I really didn't mean it, I wanted to go too, didn't I...I'm sick too..."

Seeing Shen Ju'an's anxious look, Zheng Hao then smiled: "I'm just talking casually, why are you so serious. Last time you went to the hospital to find me, I'm already very content."

Seeing that he was joking, Shen Juan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not too bad!"

The two continued to glance at the few people on the court who were fighting for each other.Suddenly, Zheng Hao said: "Actually, after you left last time, I was still lying in the ward for half a month. Every day when I opened my eyes, I thought, if only you suddenly appeared at the door again... "

Shen Juan obviously didn't pay attention to what he said, raised the corners of his mouth, and stared at the court intently, looking like he was watching a good show,

Before he could reply, Zheng Hao quietly turned his eyes and glanced at him, then lowered his face a little disappointed.
