"See you tomorrow." Irene, a girl with brown curly hair, was holding a stack of books and smiling brightly in the sun.

Irene is the girl I met at the freshman entrance ceremony that day. When she smiles, her brown wavy hair dangles around her head, and the pear dimple at the corner of her mouth is even more cute. .After the freshmen's entrance ceremony that day, I went out to visit the surrounding bakeries at night. During the chat, Elisa learned that Erin, like her, is a freshman in the music department of Yale University this year.

Eliza smiled and waved goodbye to Erin.

In the past week, Elisa has quickly adapted to this kind of college life.After the initial curiosity, other students soon came to talk to Elisa, and Elisa was able to call out the names of all the students who had only met once.In just one week, Eliza's impression of this freshman class has changed from a "star" to a "college classmate" who will get along with her day and night, and Irene is even more like a little tail , Sitting next to Eliza with a smile every day in class, it has almost become a fixed landscape.

Elisa smiled and greeted the classmates she met while walking towards the place where the bicycles were parked.

The blond girl stepped on the bicycle, kicked her feet slightly, and then rode the bicycle quickly and rushed out a section ahead, flowing neatly into the street.

The two boys who greeted Elisa just now looked at Elisa's handsome back, and stared at her for a few seconds before turning around.A boy couldn't help touching the arm of the boy next to him, "I think it's really great to apply for the music department when choosing a major."

The boy whose arm was touched by him gave him an unhappy look, and said aggrievedly, "Come on, what are you talking about when you and I reported to the Department of History?" After a pause, he couldn't help but continue, "However, I'm still quite surprised. Eliza's real style doesn't look like her music at all. Instead, it's a bit unexpected...quiet?"

Hearing this adjective, the boy from the music department tilted his head, and suddenly realized, "When you say that, I also feel a bit like it. Obviously, her own songs use a lot of drum elements, and the music style is mostly rock, but It feels completely different in real life.”

"One is like fire, the other is like..."

"water?"

As soon as the boy from the music department said this, he was mercilessly ridiculed by another boy next to him, "Come on, your poor language description ability should be reworked, how did you come up with such a description? "

While the two boys were fighting, Elisa had already returned to the dormitory by bicycle. She took out the two sandwiches she bought at the convenience store on the way back, put one of them on the dining table, and took it out of her bag. A post-it with my roommate Blaise's name written on it, put on a sandwich.

In the past week, Elisa and Blaise still haven't spoken a word. To be precise, Eliza and Blaze have spoken unilaterally, but Blaize has never answered.However, the two reached a certain kind of tacit understanding invisibly. Since Elisa left a post-it note again, the two began to communicate silently in this way.Like this evening, Eliza took the post-it note from Blaze asking her to bring dinner from the milk jug in the fridge in the morning, and Blaze came out to enjoy her dinner when no one was in the living room, Then the next morning, Eliza would be billed at the dinner table for the sandwiches Blaze had left behind.

While biting a sandwich, Eliza flicked on her phone with her right hand.

Although there is no publicity task on Eliza now, and the recording of the new album is also progressing steadily, and will soon enter the final finishing stage, but Eliza has not relaxed.During the busy time in the past, Elisa has long developed the habit of multitasking. Checking her emails during meals to avoid missing important information is one of them.

But even though Elisa turned on the phone, she was just scrolling through the news in a bored manner, and soon she was distracted and put the phone upside down on the table.

Since the first day of school, Elisa has not been able to get through to Christopher's phone, and has completely lost contact with Eve.Even though she had a busy schedule before, she would definitely talk to Christopher once a week, but now, a week has passed, and there has been no reply from Christopher.

A sense of anxiety gripped Eliza's heart. She resisted the bad premonition in her heart, but she couldn't control her eyes. Every three seconds, she couldn't help but glance at the upside-down tabletop. mobile phone.

In the end, she couldn't help but open the phone and dialed Christo's number.

Sure enough, there was another burst of busy tone.

Elisa gritted her teeth, stared at the blacked-out phone screen, and dialed the number she thought might not be possible to take the initiative to dial.

"Beep-beep-"

The busy signal was circulating in the room, and after an impatient wait, the other end was finally connected, but it was not Charles' voice, but a burst of noise.

"The patient...the situation...maybe...prepared..."

The bits and pieces of words she heard invisibly aggravated Eliza's uneasiness. Her eyes widened subconsciously, and her ears were already attached to the phone screen.

"Judging from the test results, Ms. Lin's body functions are deteriorating in an all-round way, and this fainting is just a concentrated manifestation. The regeneration of various cells in her body has been delayed to a certain extent, and there is no way to replenish the original normal survival. The number of cells needed, but there is no way to check the reason. The only rough guess is that this situation has appeared more than ten years ago, but the trend is very slow, but for some reason, in About two years ago, the rate of degradation of her body functions suddenly accelerated."

On the other end of the phone, after a while of silence, a man's voice came, "Then what are the chances of her waking up in this situation?"

Elisa held her breath. With this sentence, she identified the identity of one of the men in the conversation.

It's Charles. Who's he talking to?What are you talking about again?

Thinking of the "Ms. Lin" heard before, the panic seemed to pinch Eliza's heart like an invisible big hand.

"Very unlikely."

The phone fell straight to the ground, and the chair hit the floor with a "bang".

After staying for 1 minute, when Blaise opened the door of the room, he saw only the empty living room, the wooden chairs on the ground, and the half-eaten sandwiches on the table.

===

Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

The corridor was pale, with cold white lights falling faintly from the ceiling, and the empty corridor was like a monster with its mouth wide open silently, devouring everyone who came here.

There were obviously no windows in the corridor, but the moment Eliza walked out of the elevator door, it seemed like a gust of cold wind hit her face, invaded her body along the sleeves, and blew across her cheeks.That chill was like the body suddenly being immersed in a winter lake, bitingly cold.She didn't even have time to gather her coat, and just ran towards the direction she asked before.

In the pale and silent corridor, she saw a man in a wheelchair.

In the end what happened!

Elisa wanted to yell hysterically, not caring about her own image at all, but seeing Charles' blue pupils that were exactly like hers were also full of pain and despair, she suddenly couldn't shout anything.

"Why... didn't you tell me..." Eliza trembled her lips, her voice was trembling uncontrollably, and every word she uttered seemed to leave a knife wound on her throat.

Charles stared into Elisa's eyes, and slowly tightened his fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair, "At the last moment when Christo passed out..." His Adam's apple moved slightly, and his eyes were bloodshot, "The last words she left were..."

"Don't tell Eliza."

At that time, the black-haired woman was lying in his arms, as if the scene of that year had reappeared in front of his eyes, he could hardly control himself, silence spread in the room, only the words she left clearly conveyed To his ears, to pull him back from the boundless negative emotions.

The biting chill slowly climbed up her arms from the trembling fingertips, her lips completely faded, there were two "da, da" sounds, and the high-heeled shoes made a crisp sound on the white floor tiles, and Eliza staggered back. He took two steps and leaned his back against the cold wall.Her palms were pressed against the wall, and her body slowly slid down.

In the hospital corridor, a blond figure curled up quietly by the wall.

The two leaned against both sides of the corridor, only silence spread silently on the cold wall.

……

Darkness invaded the earth silently.

In the corridor, Eliza couldn't remember how long she had been waiting.

Eliza squatted motionless, hugging her knees, her eyes fixed on her legs, but her mind went blank.In a hurry, she impulsively flew to Maryland without even saying hello to her agent. From the time she left the dormitory until she arrived at the hospital, she only had two phone calls with Charles. All right, once to ask her the specific address where she is now.

The emergency light went off suddenly, and the two raised their heads almost at the same time, staring at the slowly opening door.

The doctor walked out from the inside and took off the mask, "As in the previous case, it was caused by the decline of the patient's cell regeneration ability. This time the situation has been temporarily stabilized, but because we haven't found the real cause, all we can do is temporarily Respond negatively and take measures depending on the specific symptoms of the patient."

Charles' eyes darkened, and he nodded silently.

The nurse pushed the stretcher out, and Elisa stood up abruptly, but was instantly pressed in place by the tingling pain in her heel, and only had time to fall behind the stretcher.

Christo just lay quietly on the white bed, his complexion was so white that it seemed to blend in with the sheets.Eliza sat on the edge of the hospital bed, staring at her peaceful face for a long time.

After a while, there was a sudden sob in the ward.
