unexpected rain

After eating, Lin Ji went back to his room. Before reviewing, he took out two things from his schoolbag, which were birthday presents given to him by Xie Zhaofeng this morning.

If it hadn't happened before, he probably wouldn't be able to receive the gift from them in his life, right?

Lin smiled bleakly and self-deprecatingly.He picked up the headphone. The box was written in a foreign language, a language Lin Ji couldn't understand, but since it said it was the brand Xiang Shifang was using, it must be expensive.As usual, Lin Jizhun rolled on the bed with his earphones in his arms, lamenting how lucky he was.

good luck?

Lin felt that this word was unfamiliar.

He finally put the gift intact in a locked drawer.

More than half of the space in that drawer has been filled, and most of it is used draft paper, as well as gel pens, test papers, and other gadgets.

To be precise, they are all gadgets that Xiang Shifang has used.

Like a pervert, Lin secretly collected all Xiang Shifang's used things, thinking that there were traces of Xiang Shifang on the cheap things, so they became precious.

Lin Ji looked at the things inside for a long time, and they recorded the relationship between Xiang Shifang and Xiang Shifang. It was obviously a few months ago, but Lin Ji felt that it had been a long time.

Finally he put the key in and clicked the lock.

Probably because too many things happened, this semester passed very quickly for Lin Ji, and it was the end of the semester in a blink of an eye.

Lin also thought about sharing some important responsibilities for Lu Qianran, but when he proposed to work and study, Lu Qianran severely rejected it.

"You are already in the third year of high school. How can you devote your attention to other things in the final sprint? Xiaoji, don't worry. With the support of my mother at home, I will definitely be able to send you to college."

Only by being admitted to a key university can Lin Ji lead Lu Qianran to another bright life.Studying hard is the only thing Lin Ji can do at present.Fortunately, he was still able to live up to his expectations. Even in the extremely poor state of the midterm exam, he maintained his ranking. Teacher Wu, the head teacher, encouraged him, saying that as long as he can maintain this level until the college entrance examination, he can go to the capital Yongshi to study in university.

But since Lin wanted to stay in Mianshi, he couldn't bear to let Lu Qianran stay in the empty house alone, how lonely?

For the final exam, Lin Ji was assigned to the same exam room as Xiang Shifang and Qiao Nuo.

After Lin Ji's final explanation, Qiao Nuo never took the initiative to look for Lin Ji again, and occasionally met Lin Ji on the road, and they were just nodding acquaintances. Lin Ji seemed to have seen resentment and anger in her eyes. When I am blinded by myself.

She and Xiang Shifang still haven't broken up after all, and they no longer hide their relationship. Even though it has been rumored that they are together, there is no definite evidence, until someone saw them holding hands one day .

These two people have unusual family backgrounds, and their grades are also very impressive. The school rules make concessions for such students, and the number of people who show courteousness to each other is also greatly reduced.

Lin Ji's heart is much harder than before, and he will no longer be so disappointed because of them that he can't eat.

It's just that he still looks at Xiang Shifang's back when he occasionally raises his head, which has become his habit.

Other than that, he never took the initiative to solicit anything.

On the day of the winter vacation, Lin Ji also received a subsidy and a scholarship, totaling [-], and the thickness of the envelope made Lin Ji couldn't help but be delighted. With these, Lu Qianran could rest at home for a few days.

On the bus, Lin Ji met Zhao Li again.

His family's car was also sold, so Lin took the bus to and from school for most of the semester, and during this period, he met Zhao Li about three times a week.

But they rarely talked, because Lin would use the time on the bus to memorize words, and Zhao Li would not bother him.

But today, since Lin was in a good mood, he rarely smiled at Zhao Li.

"Hey, what good happened?" Zhao Li sat next to Lin Ji.

"I got the scholarship." Lin Ji said implicitly.

Zhao Li asked curiously, "How much?"

Lin Ji held his schoolbag tightly and looked at him warily.

Zhao Li immediately saw the meaning in his eyes, and his eyebrows flew out of anger, "What do you mean? Are you afraid that I will take your money? Am I such a person?"

It was before.Lin whispered in his heart.

But he still chose to believe the current Zhao Li and told him the amount.

"Not bad, you." Zhao Li put his arms around Lin Ji's shoulders, "Take me to eat."

He just said that casually, but Lin Ji was a little embarrassed. His family was no better than before. He even took the initiative to stop pocket money and handed over all his savings to Lu Qianran. He didn't dare to have any extra money. Scattered.

Zhao Li also saw Lin Ji's embarrassment, and he spat in his heart that Lin Ji had lost a father, and his family conditions must not be as good as before.So Zhao Li laughed and said, "I'm just kidding you."

"Sorry." Lin Ji whispered, "I'll buy you a drink when school starts."

"No, I don't like to drink." Zhao Li said, he squeezed Lin Ji's shoulder, he could clearly feel Lin Ji's thinness, his bones were broken, and he blurted out: "How about I take you to dinner?" Shall we go? There is a nice restaurant on Wenhui Road."

"No need, my mother is waiting for me to eat at home." Lin Ji said, he smiled at Zhao Li, "Thank you."

Looking at his docile face, Zhao Li felt a sense of illusory, ridiculous. He was in the extremely rebellious stage in the first year of high school, and his personality was stinky and aggressive. Whoever disliked him, he insisted on making that person dislike Fortunately, Lin Ji became that unlucky guy. Almost the entire freshman stage, he never gave Lin Ji a good face, beat or scolded him. He knew that Lin Ji would definitely hate him, but Lin Ji's hatred would only make him feel angry. more hateful.At that time, how could they have imagined that after more than a year, they would sit together peacefully, Lin Ji would thank him, and he would take pity on Lin Ji.

"Lin Ji, if you need help with anything, just let me know. I can lend you money if you need money, and I have contacts if you want to find some odd jobs." Zhao Li patted his chest, showing his loyalty and ability.

"My mother won't let me go to work." Lin Ji said, "She wants me to study hard."

"Then you should study hard." Zhao Li echoed him, "You have a good brain, and you can get as many points as you want! Try to drag that Xiang Shifang from the first place in the grade, and sit up by yourself!"

That was too difficult.Lin said in his heart.

When Lin returned home, he gave all the money to Lu Qianran.Lu Qianran knew the origin of the money, she rolled her eyes with a smile, "My son is really promising, he can make money with his brain."

"After I work, I will definitely earn more money for you to spend." Lin Ji said boldly.

"Okay." Lu Qianran looked at him with gentle eyes, Lin Ji's familiar eyes, so he didn't notice the sadness implied in them.

"Come and eat, there are stewed chicken wings from Grandma Wang...cough cough cough!" Lu Qianran coughed unpreparedly. She coughed so strongly that it seemed that if she tried harder, her thin body would be crushed. Cough gone.

She covered her mouth, and Lin Ji was about to help her up in panic, but she suddenly felt something, bent down and rushed into the toilet, and locked the door behind her back.

Lin Ji chased after him, and heard the constant coughing inside.

"Mom! What's wrong?! Don't scare me! Mom!"

Lu Qianran turned on the faucet to the maximum, and the diluted red swirled and left the sewer. She coughed and responded to Lin Ji: "It's okay, cough cough...I'm coughing up phlegm, Xiaoji, help mother make medicine and drink it. Coughing on the drinking fountain..."

"Okay!" Lin immediately ran to make the medicine, and when he finished making the medicine, Lu Qianran also came out, her face was frighteningly pale, her cough was not completely suppressed, and she would cough low from time to time.

"Mom, drink the medicine." Lin Ji gave her the medicine.

Lu Qianran took it and drank it, and she seemed to be better after drinking it, but Lin Ji was still worried, and said, "Mom, didn't you say to go to the hospital? Why is your cough still not healed after taking medicine for so many days? "

"The place where I work has been under construction for the past few days. There is too much dust, and it keeps recurring." Lu Qianran smiled reassuringly, "It's not a big problem."

"Your complexion is so bad, isn't it a big problem?" Lin Ji said worriedly, "Why don't you go to the hospital tomorrow and I'll accompany you."

"No, no, no." Lu Qianran waved her hands repeatedly, "I have to go to work tomorrow."

"Mom, you haven't rested for a month. Besides, I won a scholarship of 3000 yuan, so I just wanted you to rest at home for a few days." Lin blamed her for not caring for her body, and felt aggrieved.

Lu Qianran's heart warmed, and she said softly, "Okay, after this week, I'll ask the foreman for leave."

Lin Ji frowned.

On the second day of the holiday, Lu Qianran went out to work early, and Lin Ji started cleaning the house after getting up.

Lin Ji picked up the broom and mop to clean every inch of the floor in the house, probably because he didn't use his brain to work like he wanted to learn, Lin Ji began to slowly recall Lin Cheng's appearance when he was in this house.

When Lin Cheng came home, he would always sit on the sofa and watch the football games and the news. In the past, when Lin Ji touched his feet while mopping the floor, he was so fascinated by the sight that he even forgot to lift up to make way for him. Sometimes he always picked Lin Ji to clean up. Lin Ji had to wait for Lin Ji to finish cleaning, and then demonstrate to Lin Ji what the correct way was. This kind of afterthought made Lin Ji very dissatisfied.

But now this dissatisfaction has become a memory.

With such a sad and heavy heart, Lin cleaned the living room and kitchen, and then came to the master bedroom.

Lu Qianran's room did not deliberately erase the traces of Lin Cheng's existence, there were still two pillows on the bed, and two photo frames were placed beside the bed, one was a group photo of their family, and the other was a single photo of Lin Cheng.

However, when Lin Ji was cleaning, he found that something was wrong inside. There was a brown mark the size of a fingernail on the corner of the bed sheet hanging down to the floor.

Like the imprint of dried blood.

Lin was puzzled that having blood marks was definitely not a good thing, so he looked into the trash can, but the inside was clean, and he couldn't find anything to explore.

Lin didn't think too much about it, after all, a small blood mark couldn't prove anything serious.

Knowing that he stretched the broom under the bed and swept it a few times, in addition to sweeping out some dust, there was also a ball of paper.It should be the garbage that accidentally got under the bed.

Originally, this wasn't something worth caring about, but Lin Ji could vaguely see the faint red color coming from the paper ball.

This made him pick up the ball of paper and unfold it.

Is a large shocking blood brown.

Lin Ji's hands trembled, and his eyes seemed to be stabbed.Whose blood is this?Why is there so much blood?

In his mind, he recalled Lu Qianran coughing and hunched over.

Coughing up blood?

Lin Ji suddenly panicked. He lost control and opened the drawer at the head of the bed, rummaging for something in a rude movement. Then he rummaged through all the places in the room where things could be hidden. The room was still tidy. Being overturned by him is like a thief.

Finally, Lin Ji found what he wanted to see in a small drawer in the closet.

It was Lu Qianran's case.

He couldn't read a few of the doctor's flamboyant handwriting, but Lin knew the two words in the column of diagnosis.

Lung cancer.

This thin case suddenly seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and Lin wanted to kneel down.
