As for whether Lu Zhen finally told Lu Yan the truth of the matter, Liang Ting did not know.
The father and daughter seemed to have made an appointment. They were very tight-lipped and never mentioned the matter.
If they didn't mention it, Liang Ting would naturally not ask any more questions. He has always been a very measured boy.
In September, when the city was filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, Liang Ting and Lu Zhen entered Q University together and became the freshmen of Grade 02.
This year, they also ushered in the first military training for freshmen.
The beautiful and passionate college life... seems not as beautiful as imagined.
During the day, he was exposed to the sun during military training, and he was crazily "tortured" by the instructors who were taking students for the first time. At night, he wore flip-flops and went out with a few brothers to eat supper and drink beer... everything returned to peace.
Shen Kuo and Lu Zhen are no longer as tit-for-tat as they were in high school. After college, both boys seem to have grown up a lot.
Yes, we are all adults, how can we still act like children, you hit me, I will kick you...
The days began to become dull and boring.
But Liang Ting knew that Shen Kuo's life must not be ordinary.
Excellent people are very eye-catching no matter where they are. Being the provincial champion in Beicheng made Shen Kuo dazzling as soon as he entered the school.
During military training, his class happened to be located at the entrance of the playground. He stood at the front of the row, wearing a camouflage shirt neatly and straightly, showing off his tall and straight clothes-hanging figure, his back was tall and straight, and his facial features were handsome.
It's simply too eye-catching.
Every time girls passed by him, they couldn't help but fix their hair or look at him shyly.
His dark eyes were hidden under the shadow of the camouflage peaked cap, and he looked straight ahead, with the four words "Keep away from strangers" written all over his body.
This taciturn and aloof style actually aroused the girls' desire to conquer.
There is an endless stream of girls confessing to him, and he always receives love letters from girls after the breakup every day, or when they gather for a meeting to sing at night...
This made Lu Zhen very unhappy, so Shen Kuo didn't even have to say no. Lu Zhen would run over excitedly and fend off the peach blossoms for him——
"Go away, go away! This guy is a liar! He is a scumbag, don't be fooled by his hypocritical appearance!"
"Don't look at him now, he looks like a bitch, he's really bad on the inside, he's the one who's so good on the outside and so bad on the outside!"
"Why don't you believe it, little sister? Oh, you have never seen a tall man, have you? I know a lot of handsome guys. If you want to fall in love, I will introduce you to him. This man is not good, no, no, no! Ye Jia, who is in the next class
How about Qi, my brother, let me introduce you to him?"
Over time, girls began to spread rumors about Lu Zhen and Shen Kuo's affair...
Sometimes Liang Ting saw Lu Zhen's excitement and began to suspect that this guy didn't really hate Shen Kuo and wanted to ruin his good deeds. He was...
Helping his daughter protect the food.
On a hot afternoon, Lu Yan walked out of the senior high school teaching building and stood under the camphor tree, holding in her hand the letter Liang Ting sent from the university.
The paper page is very thin, placed in front of your eyes, shining with sunlight——
"Your dad is really helping you reach for the stars."
Lu Zhen tried his best to protect everything she could not forget.
Lu Yan and Liang Ting have become pen pals, which is amazing.
Such a gentle and considerate uncle became Lu Yan's confidant as she grew up.
Many times, if Lu Yan couldn't tell Lu Zhen, she would write to Liang Ting. Especially during her senior year in high school, they had frequent correspondence.
In fact, she can send text messages to Liang Ting, but the feeling of text messages and letters is completely different. Letters, an ancient form, can bring a sense of tranquility and solemnity to time.
She touched the letter that came from the south to the north and sniffed it gently, as if she could smell the warm sun, breeze and fragrance of flowers in the south...
And the person she can't forget.
Liang Ting also understood the little girl's thoughts very well. He would always occasionally mention one or two pieces of news about Shen Kuo in his writing, in an understatement, leaving no trace...
It seems to be accidental, but also it seems to be intentional.
"He chose to be the flag bearer at the front of the line during the military training. He looked very energetic."
"He works very hard and spends all his free time in the library."
"I don't know if it's an illusion, but he seems to have grown taller again. Why is he still growing taller at this age?"
"I heard that the basketball team invited him to join. Lu Zhen also wanted to join, but was rejected."
…
Most of the time, Lu Yan avoided or ignored these mere words, but in winter, she received the last letter of the semester from Liang Ting, which said——
"Everyone gathered in the playground for a party. It was rare that Shen Kuo actually sang a song."
When Lu Yan saw this sentence, she responded to Liang Ting's kindness for the first time and called him.
On the phone, she first greeted all the uncles in his dormitory one by one in a sensible manner, and finally asked him casually: "Can he still sing? What can he sing?"
Liang Ting smiled lightly and walked to the balcony.
The green leaves outside the balcony were rustling in the cold wind. Liang Ting turned on the speakerphone of his mobile phone and said, "Listen."
"Listen to what?"
"The sound of wind blowing leaves."
In the winter in the south, the green leaves are always new and will not dry up and fall away.
"I heard it. You said Shen Kuo sang a song. It was... something."
Liang Ting had satisfied the little girl's appetite, and then slowly said: "She is far away, as if she is talking to me through the sound of the wind."
He sang it softly.
Lu Yan hugged her knees and sat by the bay window, looking at the goose feather-like white snowflakes falling outside the window.
"She is so far away that she can no longer go home, but I always only have her in my dreams."
Lu Yan covered her mouth, tears flowing down her fingers...
The feelings that had been buried deep in my heart poured out like a tidal wave.
Liang Ting was very considerate and didn't speak any more. He heard the little girl's breathing disorder on the other end of the phone.
"Good night."
"Um."
He hung up the phone and stood alone by the balcony, looking out the window at the hazy night, taking a deep breath to calm the sour emotions in his heart.
He has a secret that he never tells.
He raised his head and looked at the deep blue night sky...
The moon tonight should know his thoughts.
At the end of 2002, a terrible SARS virus swept across mainland China. The first case was discovered in the south, and then spread to the whole country and even Southeast Asia.
During that time, no matter in the south or north, people were panicked, and everyone wore masks when going out.
Lu Jian also asked her aunt to thoroughly disinfect everything inside and outside the house with disinfectant. The wolfberry and red dates in Lu Yan's thermos cup were also replaced with isatis root.
Twelve confirmed SARS patients have been found in Beicheng, and three people have died, and the number is still rising.
Unfortunately, as the temperature dropped, Lu Yan seemed to be sick and began to develop fever and cough.
When she went to the school hospital to get medicine, she was found to have a fever. At that time, the nurse immediately contacted the People's Hospital in Beicheng.
So before Lu Yan even had time to contact Lu Jian, the panicked doctors and nurses packed her into a car and took her to isolation.
Lu Zhen, who was far away at school in Nancheng, received a call from his father, saying that Lu Yan had a fever and had been quarantined. He used all his connections to prevent him from seeing her.
Now Lu Jian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and almost broke into the isolation building.
The thought of his precious daughter being locked up in a place like that, with a bunch of suspected patients, made him go crazy.
Although the doctor repeatedly explained to him that there would be no cross-infection and they were all separated and isolated, Lu Jian was still worried. Later, she directly said to the doctor: "How much money do you want to release my daughter? I will give you any amount."
you!"
The doctor almost called the police.
Lu Jian, who was always used to this kind of situation, could not keep calm.
There are only a handful of people who can come out alive after being imprisoned.
Meng Zhining, on the other hand, was much calmer. He took Lu Jian out of the doctor's office and told him not to mess up his position first, and to go back and find connections. He had found all the connections he could find, and he should not be vague about the money he should spend. The most important thing was...
Now I must find a way to meet Lu Yan.
So when Lu Zhen received the call, he was completely stunned. When he put down the phone, he didn't even have time to pack his luggage and ran out of school, planning to go directly to the airport to buy a ticket and take the nearest flight home.
But at the school gate, he was stopped by the security guard.
"Classmate, the school is closed. Please stay in school for the next few days and don't go out."
"I'm in a hurry!"
"Nothing can be done. Two people died yesterday. They are in our city hospital and the school is temporarily closed. We don't allow idlers to enter or leave the campus these days. Please understand."
