Standing in front of him was the boy he met in the hospital elevator.

There was no expression on the other party's face, he just looked up at Jiang Ling indifferently, nodded casually, found something from a pile of things on the bed, put it in his pocket, and walked out again.

Jiang Ling originally wanted to say hello, but before he could open his mouth, the other party had already slammed the door.He shrugged, opened the door to go out, then stepped back, and opened the textbooks that his roommate put on the table.

Class 2, Senior [-], International Department, Luo Yunfan.

There was no evening self-study on the night of registration, so Jiang Ling left the school after dinner, walked familiarly through the alley around the school, and came to the back street.

Back Street is a nickname given by a middle school student to a small street behind the school. Like most schools around, this street is mainly for student business, mostly restaurants and snack bars.Children who are tired of eating at school often come to this street to have a tooth festival.

"Love is deep" is a milk tea shop that also sells various snacks, mainly fried food such as chicken chops and squid that students like. The owner is Qin Yun, a single mother in her 30s with a little girl.

Jiang Ling lifted the curtain, "Aunt Tan, it's me!"

"Jiangling is here!" Tan Yun called from behind the curtain in the back kitchen: "Wait for me, I'll sort out the inventory."

Jiang Ling took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands, and started tidying up the operating table for fried chicken and milk tea.

After a while, Qin Yun came out with a large plate of raw materials for chicken chops and chicken tenders, and the two of them glazed and coated the chicken with batter.

"School starts today, right?" Tan Yun chatted with Jiang Ling while working swiftly, "How is your mother? Did you spend the Spring Festival this year in the hospital?"

"Well, it's still the same," Jiang Ling's voice was a little low, and he forced himself to cheer up again: "Aunt Qin, I moved to the dormitory this year, it's close to the school gate, so I can come back later at night, I want to send you here at night Do you think it's okay to take over the school work?"

"Okay! That's great!" Tan Yun was happy when she heard that: "I still have to pay management fees to use the food delivery platform, and your school is very strict, you won't be allowed to enter after ten o'clock in the evening. Let's make it our own." For delivery services, all the saved management fees will be added to your salary! Hey, by the way, I still have an old bicycle here, and no one rides it, just for your delivery."

After a few words and a few words, the number of people ordering some milk tea and chicken chops gradually increased. The two stopped chatting and started busy at night.

School just started today, and the store was not busy, so it closed around ten o'clock. Jiang Ling took some chicken chops and leftovers, and gave them to the stray cats in the tree hole.

Still only the little Sanhua curled up in the tree hole, Jiang Ling teased the cat with the chicken in his hand, making the cat meow meow meow.Seeing the kitten devouring the chicken, Jiang Ling stood quietly against the tree trunk for a while.

Spring has not yet warmed up, and the scent of camphor trees has not yet dissipated. Instead, there is a slight smell of tobacco wafting into the nasal cavity.

The smell of tobacco, a silver lighter, for some reason, an image appeared in my mind: a guild hall with a small bridge and flowing water, a man with a vague face walked into the room and handed him a lighter, and the faint smell of tobacco shrouded with his movements. Come.

The picture flashed away, Jiang Ling was stunned, and couldn't help but laugh, and he didn't know which TV series he saw it in.

The kitten had already eaten the chicken, and yawned. It patted Jiang Ling's leg with its small paws, and its sharp nails hung on his school pants, stabbing him back to his senses.

Reaching out to rescue the kitten's paw, and playing with the cat for a while, Jiang Ling bid farewell to the tree hole and entered the school gate.

The old man at the door has long been used to him coming in and out every day, and he also knows that this kid often has to go to the hospital and work. At first, he looked at his pass card, but after getting used to it, he would turn a blind eye when he came in and out. Eye.

Back in the dormitory, the roommate was still missing. There was a pair of white sneakers at the door, and there were a few gray footprints on the pure white toes.

Jiang Ling picked up the shoes to have a look, took out a wet towel to wipe them clean, and put them back neatly.

There was no dream all night, when Jiang Ling got up in the morning, there were still debris piled up on the opposite bed, and his roommate didn't seem to come back.

The next few days passed, Luo Yunfan was still elusive, but slowly, the things on the opposite bed were packed, and the laundry was hung on the balcony. Only then could he be sure that he did have such a roommate.

The life in high school was simple and boring. Jiang Ling had to go to a milk tea shop to work every day after studying. The schedule was very tight. Li Fang invited him to go to the Internet cafe several times, but he refused because he had no time.

On Wednesday morning, Jiang Ling received a text message from the hospital informing him that the cost of bed 02 was almost used up.

After school at noon, he hurried to the bus station without thinking about eating.

The smart bus display shows that the next bus will arrive in 2 minutes, and there are only three or five people standing at the station.Jiang Ling gave up the idea of ​​running to the hospital, took out the math test paper that was assigned in the morning from his school bag, and looked at it silently.

The car arrived soon, Jiang Ling was still immersed in the thinking of solving the big math problem, followed the people in front of him and got into the car.

Today's driver was probably in a bad mood. He was driving very fast when there was no one on the road. When the light changed at the intersection, the car in front chose to slow down and stop.The driver of the bus slammed on the brakes, and everyone in the car was thrown forward due to the huge inertia.

Jiang Ling was carrying his schoolbag, holding the test paper in one hand, and the hanging armrest in the other. When he threw it out like this, his body immediately turned in a circle and hit the person in front hard.

The person in front was not much better, but they were holding the back of the chair next to them with both hands, so they were not as embarrassed as Jiang Ling, but the bump almost made him fall down.

All the people in the car complained loudly.

Jiang Ling's dangling arm was painfully pulled, and the paper in his left hand was pinched into a wrinkled ball.He quickly stood up straight, turned his eyes to the front, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you..."

Jiang Ling suddenly became quiet, watching his new roommate turn his indifferent eyes on him.

"You...are you in pain?" After a long while, he softly spoke.

The people in the car were still making noise, Luo Yunfan moved his lips, but Jiang Ling didn't know what he said.

Soon, the hospital was coming, Jiang Ling said in a low voice, "I'm getting off the bus" and squeezed towards the exit door in the middle.

Coming out of the stuffy and crowded compartment, the cold air made me sober up a lot.

Footsteps were heard behind him, Jiang Ling turned his head, and the new roommate also got off the bus at this stop, nodded to him coldly, and strode towards the hospital.

First, he went to the nurse's station to type out the bill of expenses. Jiang Ling came to the payment window on the first floor. The hospital was always lively, and there were long queues at every window.Anxious, sad, desperate, full of hope... Jiang Ling spends more time in the hospital than at home, and when he is bored, he will carefully observe the faces. Behind each expression is a different The story has been going on for a long time, and he can already guess the ending of the story from different eyes.

Jiang Ling's gaze wandered over everyone's face, and finally stopped on a handsome face.

The handsome-faced owner was lowering his head, looking at the receipt in his hand in a daze, there was no wave in his eyes, but Jiang Ling felt a trace of despair from it.

The teams on both sides moved forward slowly at the same time, Jiangling was the advance deposit, the receipts and money were sent in, and the deposit was made soon.At the last second, he boarded the elevator where Luo Yunfan was.

The elevator was still extremely crowded, and the distance between the two people could not be maintained at all, and they were quickly squeezed together.

The boy stood behind Jiangling, and while breathing, the hot and humid air hit his ears, causing waves of numbness.

The ninth floor arrived soon, Jiang Ling walked out with the flow of people, turned his head to look at the floor button of the elevator.

Only the 12th and 15th floor buttons are lit.

Most of the people got off the elevator on the 9th floor, and quickly dispersed to various rooms. When Jiang Ling turned around, the elevator door was slowly closing, blocking the eyes of his roommates.

Back in the ward, Mother Jiang had already fallen asleep.Jiang Ling went to the boiling water room to get a bottle of water, tidied up his mother's bedside table, and took out the math test paper to continue writing.

The previous part has been finished, but Jiang Ling got stuck on the second question of the last question and had no idea for a long time.

After getting up and moving his hands and feet, Jiang Ling thought of the look in his roommate's eyes for no reason.

What happened?

When Mother Jiang woke up, she saw her son standing in front of the hospital bed in a daze. She tugged at his sleeves and said with a smile, "What are you thinking! Pack up and go back to school, there are classes in the afternoon."

"Okay!" Jiang Ling quickly packed up his things, and told his mother: "I have already saved the money, don't be in a hurry to leave the hospital, and leave when you feel better. Also, the surgery...you should think about it." !"

Mother Jiang smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I will think about it!"

Jiang Ling walked out of the room, and the aunt in the next bed sighed, "What a wonderful child! You really don't think about surgery?"

Jiang's mother lay back on the bed: "Sister Zhang, it's not like you don't know that our brain hemangioma is lucky, and it will never break in a lifetime."

"But it's bad luck, it can't be saved!" Sister Zhang stared: "Didn't the doctor say last time that your operation has a 70% chance of success, and the success rate is still very high."

Mother Jiang sighed: "But there is still a 30% chance of failure, isn't it? Instead of taking this risk, it is better to save the money for the child. I will last for another two years, and when Ah Ling goes to college, there is nothing to worry about. "

Jiang Ling walked past the nurse's station and stood in front of the elevator for a while, but it still stopped at every floor, and the elevator didn't go up to the ninth floor for a long time.

The buttons that were on 12 and 15 before kept flashing in his mind, and there was still that gloomy look in his eyes from time to time, Jiang Ling looked at the number of the elevator again, turned and walked towards the stairwell.

The 12th floor is the psychiatric department. It is quiet and there is no one there.

Jiangling continued to go upwards, preparing to go up to the 15th floor.

When we reached the 14th and a half floors, the voice control lights were not on.Jiang Ling took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight.

Bright light suddenly pierced the darkness, shooting a cold light in the stairwell, illuminating the steps under the feet, and also illuminating a figure sitting on the top of the steps.

His handsome roommate, with his hands on his knees, raised his eyes in that ray of white light.

Jiang Ling hastily turned off the flashlight, but at that moment, he caught the red eye sockets of the other party.

In the darkness, Luo Yunfan stood up.

"Well, that..." Jiang Ling said awkwardly: "Are you going back to school now?"

The other party was silent for a long time, Jiang Ling touched his nose, "I'm sorry, I'm leaving first."

He grabbed his schoolbag and wanted to turn around and leave, when a soft "hmm" suddenly came from behind him.

The two of them didn't take the elevator and went directly to the first floor along the stairs.The stairs turned back and forth, Jiang Ling always walked in front, not daring to turn back.

After waiting for the bus, there was still no communication between the two of them. Jiang Ling thought for a while, then took out the math test paper, trying to solve the last question.

Although it was cold, the afternoon sun was shining brightly.

The sun shines on the boy's face through the car window, and even the little fluff on his cheeks is completely visible.Jiang Ling is not beautiful, if you want to judge, he can only be regarded as ordinary and handsome, but sitting in the sun at this moment, it seems to be coated with a layer of golden light, and the peaceful eyebrows and eyes calm down the restless heart.

When the car arrived at the school, the two got out of the car, walked into the campus silently, and parted ways in front of the teaching building.

The phone vibrated twice in his trouser pocket, and Li Fang sent a text message: "Enter the post, I have something to introduce to you!"

The author has something to say: Do you remember Luo Yunfan?Also on the vault of Juliet's house!
