Fortunately, she worked in a restaurant outside during the day and had a heater. At night, she went back to the dormitory and got directly under the quilt, barely able to hold on.
When that phone rang, she didn't recognize it as her own, because for most of the semester, the phone never rang, even though she kept it in her closest pocket.
At that time, she had just finished eating in the kitchen, and the restaurant owner was arranging the work of the chef and waiters during the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival is the busiest time for restaurants, but it is also the time when they are most short of staff. Even if they are given three times the salary, they cannot retain a few waiters.
When Chen Ning heard that her salary was tripled during the Spring Festival, she immediately raised her hand: "I can stay."
In fact, the salary of a waiter is quite high. With three times the salary, it will be enough for her to save some money on living expenses next semester.
On the way back to school from the restaurant, when she habitually took out her mobile phone to check the time, she discovered that there was a missed call. Her heart suddenly became excited and she couldn't walk a step further. She stood beside the road and clicked on the lottery ticket.
The missed call showed the three characters Song Jingye.
With just three words, the hardship of working and the coldness of the dormitory all disappeared, leaving only full of happiness. She immediately pressed the dial button to go back.
"Hello?" The answer came quickly, with a magnetic, steady and powerful voice.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't hear the call just now."
"Well, where are you?" Song Jingye asked, actually feeling a little guilty because he didn't think of her until now.
"We'll be arriving at school soon."
"Wait for me at the school gate." Song Jingye had to drive to the provincial capital city to catch a flight back to Beijing early tomorrow morning, so he could only go there now.
"Okay." Chen Ning replied that the school was actually still some distance away, so she hung up the phone and ran all the way there. She was panting and out of breath, but she was still a step too late.
Under the streetlight at the entrance of the campus, the tall and straight figure seemed to have been waiting for her for a while, and there was a jeep parked next to her.
"Uncle, I'm sorry." She ran to him, held her waist and panted. She couldn't say a complete sentence. Her chest hurt when she took a breath, but she was so happy. She felt happy from the inside out.
Song Jingye glanced at her and said nothing, just asked: "Where are you staying during the winter vacation?"
Chen Ning pointed back to the school: "It's very safe to live in the dormitory."
"Alone?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Take some time to clean up and go to the military family home." He gave the order concisely. He didn't expect this. She was a little girl here with no relatives. Naturally, she had no place to go during the winter vacation. He didn't think of it until now.
Chen Ning waved her hand hurriedly: "No, the dormitory is very good." Except it was a little colder, everything else was good, and she stayed in the dormitory for a short time a day.
"Is there heating?" Song Jingye glanced at her in thin clothes, then at the dark campus, and made up his mind to take her back to the hospital.
So without saying a word, he walked to the jeep next to him and opened the door for her to get in. Again, since he was the one who rescued her, I called him uncle to protect her most basic life when she was not yet able to be independent.
It's his duty, not to mention his identity and mission.
