One big and one small are practicing love

Chapter 58 The morning after the snow

Make up your mind to go to the library.

When the alarm rang, the dormitory was still dark.

Liu Xiaochen felt sleepy and weak, so he turned off the alarm, thinking that he was sick and should have a good rest instead of forcing himself. But when I turned over, I thought that I had slept for one day during the only three days of rest. There is still one week of final exams, five compulsory subjects and three elective subjects, so there is still a lot to review.

Liu Xiaochen set the alarm for another half an hour. When his phone vibrated again, it was slightly bright. I counted ten silently and slowly got up with difficulty.

When washing and packing things, Liu Xiaochen moved very gently. But within ten minutes, I heard Liu Cuili making seven or eight bored 'tsk' sounds and exaggeratedly turning over four or five times.

Before leaving the house, Liu Xiaochen hesitated to pour a glass of brown sugar water. Liu Cuili said impatiently: "Xiaochen, can you lower your voice?"

Liu Xiaochen took the empty cup and went out without hesitation. I thought to myself, you talked loudly on the phone until past 2 o'clock in the morning last night, why didn't you want others to sleep?

The snow has stopped and the air is chilly. As soon as Liu Xiaochen left the dormitory building, a cold wind blew in his face. He sneezed twice and walked towards the cafeteria with his neck curled up.

On the road, I saw many cleaners wearing thick and swollen clothes, snorting white breath from their mouths and noses, bending over, shoveling and sweeping the snow all the time. Most of the snow on the campus has been cleared.

When we arrived at the canteen, there was a big cloud of steam rising in front of all the stalls. There are not many students in the huge cafeteria. As soon as a student approaches, every stall will start shouting loudly.

“Thick and fragrant millet porridge”

“Smooth and tender tofu puffs!”

“Authentic Hangzhou Xiao Long Bao!”

……

I got the sterilized tableware from the canteen and bought a bowl of tofu curd, a five-spice tea egg, and two fried dough sticks.

Liu Xiaochen took a bite of the crispy fried dough sticks first. The freshly fried fried dough sticks were golden and fragrant, and tasted like those made by his parents.

As I was eating, I thought about how when I was a child, I could eat crispy fried dough sticks freshly fried by my parents every morning, and I suddenly felt guilty, sad, and sad.

In my memory, my parents got up at four or five in the morning every day since they opened the restaurant. Only then did I realize that there must have been times when they were sick, tired, and didn't want to get out of bed. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, six or seven years, how did they persevere day by day?

The snow is swept, there is ready-made food when you wake up, and the library has heating and lights. None of such good conditions are the result of your own hard work. You should be grateful and study hard.

I got a cup of boiling water in the water room and put it on my lower abdomen through my clothes. Spread out "International Trade", hold a pen, and read it carefully.

I am much better than yesterday, but my cold symptoms are still obvious, including dizziness, yawning and runny nose. Watch for a while, rub your eyes, take out a tissue to wipe your nose, pinch yourself, apply some cooling oil, and continue watching.

I felt really sleepy in the middle, so I lay down on the table for three to five minutes and then got up to read.

In this way, until the water glass on the lower abdomen was forgotten, it rolled to the ground with a "clack". When Liu Xiaochen picked up the water cup, he looked at the watch on his wrist and saw that it was already 10:48.

At the same time, I saw five missed calls and two unread text messages on my phone, both of which were from Zhang Chengjie. I read the text messages first.

Liu Xiaotu, after seeing the message, immediately called me back.

Liu Xiaotu, I have already taken the bus to your school and will arrive around 11 o'clock.

Liu Xiaochen sighed, packed up his books, and saw that the textbook was already a third of the way through. I thought that if Zhang Cheng didn't come, I would be able to review half of it this morning. I packed up my books, drank half a glass of warm water, then came out with my canvas bag and answered the phone in the corridor.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xiaochen asked directly as soon as the call was connected.

There was silence on the other side of the receiver for a while, and then a choked voice said: "Wait for me at the gate of your school. I'll be there in ten minutes."

Liu Xiaochen drank the remaining half glass of water, went to the toilet again, and walked towards the school gate.

After waiting for three minutes, he saw Zhang Cheng coming over with a depressed face. He is wearing a thickened cobalt blue sports coat, black sports pants, and white sneakers. He is thin, tall, refreshing, sunny, and full of boyishness.

"What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll treat you." Liu Xiaochen said.

Zhang Cheng said with a depressed face: "Why don't you ask me what's wrong?"

"Can you explain the quarrel between you and Yu Ting in a few words?"

I went to a Lanzhou ramen restaurant nearby, and Zhang Cheng ordered a large bowl of capillary beef ramen with eggs, tofu skin, and ham. Liu Xiaochen ordered a small bowl of capillary beef ramen without adding anything. The two of them ate noodles separately without saying a word.

Zhang Cheng finished the noodles first, wiped his mouth, and said, "Liu Xiaotu, you almost used up a box of tissues after eating a bowl of noodles. Is your cold so serious?"

"Well, I caught a cold when I returned to the dormitory yesterday." Liu Xiaochen said, pulling out another tissue to wipe his nose, put down his chopsticks and said, "Xinxin and Yuting don't have a cold, right?"

"I don't know about Xinxin. Yuting is fine. She was very angry when she quarreled with me."

Liu Xiaochen sniffed twice and said solemnly: "Come, tell your story."

"Liu Xiaotu, have you taken any medicine?" Zhang Cheng said suddenly.

"Huh?" Liu Xiaochen didn't react for a moment.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you to the clinic. Let's get an intravenous drip quickly." After saying that, Zhang Cheng got up.

Liu Xiaochen sat still and said, "No, you'll be gone soon. I'll go back to the dormitory to take medicine."

"It takes a long time to heal after taking medicine. You have a very serious cold this time. You have to go to Zuo Kunmin's house again in a day and a half. Yanyan's constitution is weak, so be careful of infecting her." Zhang Cheng said, grabbing Liu Xiaochen's arm. She gets up.

In the school health room at noon, there was only one school doctor on duty, and there were two or three patients taking medicines. Only Liu Xiaochen was given intravenous drips. After quickly inserting the needle, Zhang Cheng held up the medicine bag and came to the lounge on the second floor.

In a large room, there are seven or eight iron frame beds with peeling paint. The white sheets are almost transparent after washing. The mattresses are thin and the pillows are sunken, but they are neat and clean.

There are also several old sofas in the room. The grass-green sofa covers are covered with white gauze towels, which have been washed away and deformed. The old-fashioned red-painted Paulownia windows and small square pieces of glass are clean and transparent. You can clearly see the snow-covered branches outside the window.

The house is extremely quiet, and I feel peaceful both physically and mentally as soon as I enter.

"Are you sitting on the sofa or lying on the bed?" Zhang Cheng asked.

Liu Xiaochen said without hesitation: "Bed." Her lower abdomen was still swollen and painful, and it would be more comfortable to lie down.

Zhang Cheng hung the medicine bag on the iron stand. When Liu Xiaochen was about to sit down, Zhang Cheng ordered: "No, wait a minute."

When he saw Zhang Cheng, he brought pillows and quilts from the bed next to him. Two pillows were stacked on top of each other, and a quilt was folded into the size of a bed and spread on it.

"Zhang Cheng, the school doctor will see us later and it's time to scold us."

"There's no one here right now. If someone uses it, just give it back to them." Zhang Cheng said, having laid it out, he said, "Lie down, do you think it's comfortable?"

Liu Xiaochen took off his shoes and went to bed without lying down. He put a pillow on the head of the bed and sat up, saying, "Now can you tell me what happened between you and Yu Ting?"
