On August 23, the weather was cloudy and no cats were seen.
Zhu Yu and Lin Suicao walked one after another on the way to the subway station.
She was wearing a bright-colored vest today, with a white lace short-sleeved top draped over it. Under the denim skirt, her white and eye-catching calves and ankles were exposed. Inside her Roman sandals were small and round toes that looked like pebbles by the lake.
For Zhu Yu, who was accustomed to the other party's school uniform or home style, this was another new Lin Suicao.
No wonder she would turn the umbrella handle, open the parasol, and look at him strangely when she first went out.
"What are you looking at?"
Zhu Yu looked away and looked at the road: "I want to confiscate your honor student qualification certificate."
"I don't have that kind of thing...why?"
"Because good students are all girls with braids and glasses who don't dress up."
Lin Suicao held the umbrella, put his free hand on his forehead and sighed: "What should the boy do?"
Zhu Yu raised his thumbs towards himself.
He is currently wearing the white shirt he once lent to Xia Fenghe, with a few buttons open on the front. With his handsome face and well-proportioned body, he is definitely qualified to be a model for top students (male).
"idiot."
She walked around him and walked up the ramp faster, "Remind me to buy fruit later."
"Idiots can't remember."
Zhu Yu followed him slowly.
Why did she get scolded when she complimented her on how well she dressed? The world is really unkind to mentally ill people.
Oh, he isn't anymore.
Summer vacation is coming to an end, but the number of people on the subway is still between "full" and "very full."
From primary school students to college students, the only thing that has not changed is the feeling of holding on to the end of summer, and the melancholy that will eventually let the time of July and August slip through our fingers.
So they packed every carriage as if they were immersing themselves in a final ecstasy.
As soon as Lin Suicao got on the bus, she cleverly occupied the narrow corner on the left side of the subway door. Zhu Yu stood in front of her, acting as a human barrier.
However, behind him was a group of female high school students who were probably out for fun. They were singing softly and softly, so it was not too uncomfortable.
“The uniforms of the attached middle school are still not as good-looking as others.”
After a while, Zhu Yu, who was bored, turned around and glanced at their red and black plaid skirts and blue and white sleeve shirts, which looked quite uniform, and talked to Lin Suicao, "They must be students from Dongshan."
He was talking about the name of a private high school in Songshui, famous for its school uniforms that can be worn as holiday clothes.
However, this guess seemed to hit the target. Someone in the girls' group followed the mentioned school name and looked over, followed by low-pitched teasing and pushing.
After a while, they seemed to have completed the voice communication within the team, and a little girl with short hair came out: "Handsome boy, which high school are you from? Song Normal University or Foreign Languages?"
Zhu Yu held the railing next to her to keep her balance: "She is from the attached middle school, and I am from the third hospital."
She seemed to have only now noticed Lin Suicao, who was playing with his cell phone with his head down next to him: "I haven't heard of any college in a university having this nickname... Did the senior bring his sister out to play?"
Before Zhu Yu, who had just made outstanding academic contributions to the Songshui Third Mental Health Center, had time to answer, the subway's arrival notification sounded.
Lin Suicao put away his phone and grabbed his cuffs.
"We're here, boyfriend."
The car door slowly closed, leaving the laughing high school girl and the slightly embarrassed short-haired girl in the car that continued to move forward.
The girl crossed her arms, but due to her lack of innate qualifications, she could only emphasize the slight ups and downs like Maliu Mountain (Note: also known as a small mountain, the main peak is only 36.18 meters above sea level).
"I'm so sorry for disturbing your good business."
Zhu Yu pretended to be stupid: "Although I don't know what you are talking about, good things always take a long time."
"If we continue chatting, we might be able to successfully add Fetion, and even join them in today's activities, which will eventually lead to the Lakeside Hotel, leaving the legend of scumbag college students in Songshui City."
"Sister Suicao, although paranoia is scary, fortunately, the place we are going to today is said to have authoritative experts in treating it."
"...Don't call me that!"
She stepped on Zhu Yu's shoes, "As a boyfriend, you should have the consciousness not to strike up a conversation in front of me, right?"
"Hey, I didn't say anything to them at all, okay?"
"It's not okay to be passive. Please say to them, 'Believe it or not, I will kill you?' when they are approached."
"That's just mania. Do you want to send me back to the mental hospital?"
Lin Suicao moved his feet: "Let's forget it this time, business is important, let's keep walking."
Once this person realizes that he is being unreasonable, he will immediately change the subject!
But if we want to continue walking, we still face a major problem.
"This is not the place where we need to get off the bus."
"...sit down for the next class!"
After a hard journey with twists and turns, they finally arrived at the right destination.
After leaving the subway station, the two went to a nearby shopping mall and each bought a box of apples and milk.
Zhu Yu carried a heavier load of milk and held an umbrella for Lin Suicao, while she held an apple in both hands.
"Why do you have to use such an awkward posture?"
He felt like he had turned into a butler in a movie and complained, "Bring them all to me. Can't you hold your own umbrella?"
The answer is no.
After finally passing through the iron gate and entering the hospitalization area, the surrounding environment became quiet and peaceful.
Lin Suicao went to register as a visitor, and then went to the doctor's office.
But Zhu Yu gradually discovered that the girl in front seemed to have taken the wrong route.
She did not wait for the elevator in line, but took the escalator up to the fourth floor in one go, and walked to the female ward area, which even Zhu Yu had never been to.
Passed 410, 409... and then stopped in front of the door with 402 written on it.
"The doctor's office doesn't seem to be over here, right?"
Zhu Yu had heard of this room number before, just the day before he was discharged from the hospital.
He looked at Lin Suicao, waiting for the other party's explanation.
"I think I should bring you here too."
Her voice was suddenly a little erratic, implying an inexplicable sense of fragility, like a piece of glass that was already full of cracks and would be completely shattered with just one more tap.
Lin Suicao raised his hand, ready to knock on the door.
But the moment before she did so, the door to Ward 402 opened on its own.
A somewhat familiar woman looked like she was startled when she was about to go out, covering her heart with one hand.
She looks to be in her thirties or forties, with a gentle temperament and a vague look of youthful beauty.
Zhu Yu put a mask on the lower half of her face in his mind, and quickly remembered where he had seen this aunt.
It was the person Lin Suicao avoided when he was discharged from the hospital.
"Tsk, didn't you just come here a few days ago? Why have the frequency of visits become higher recently?"
She didn't seem to expect this meeting, and her raised arms froze in mid-air.
"Suicao...are you coming here today?"
The other party's confused eyes flicked between Lin Suicao and the boy next to him.
"Any questions?"
The girl was tit for tat, but she could also feel vague anxiety from the way she played with her hair.
"——I came to visit my sister."
Zhu Yu crossed the two women with a huge age gap at the door and looked at Xia Fenghe who was sitting beside the hospital bed with a blank look on his face.
……ah?
