unexpected rain

"Um...Brother Song, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I have to go to the bathroom, so I won't go to that table." Lin Ji said.

"Be patient, look at the number of people at that table, it's enough for you to sit on the bench all night." Song Ge said that a large part of the income of the waiters in the clubhouse comes from the wine commission, and the more people there are, the more commission will be.

"Sorry, sorry, I really can't do it." Lin squeezed out a forced smile, clutched his stomach, turned around and ran away.

"Hey..." Brother Song was puzzled, but there was nothing he could do about him, so he passed by himself.

Lin Ji just ran behind the bar counter, squatted down, and poked out half of his head quietly.

It was really Xiang Shifang, after such a long distance, Lin Ji still seemed to be able to see Xiang Shifang's face clearly.It must have superior bone structure, handsome eyebrows and extraordinary eyes, like a noble person born from the ice and snow, every move, even breathing is more expensive than others.

Lin Ji's heart couldn't hold back anymore, it started beating wildly.

Since the beginning of this semester, he has not spoken a word to Xiang Shifang.There are too many reasons, but even so, Lin Ji's love has not expired.

Like a gopher with a head on his head, he stared in Xiang Shifang's direction desperately, as if by doing so, he could make up for the lack of getting along with each other before.

"What are you doing hiding here?"

Lin Ji's back collar was lifted, he looked back, it was the bartender.

"I'll just take a look." Lin Ji said shyly.

"Did you see a beautiful girl?" The bartender joked, "Go up and talk, it's too easy for us to get in touch like this."

"No no." Lin Ji waved his hands again and again, "I don't want him to know that I work here."

The bartender patted Lin Ji on the shoulder, "Be confident." After speaking, he went to work again.

Lin sighed and looked at the place again. Although there were many people around Xiang Shifang, he didn't speak, and drank his drink quietly. Even so, it was like a painting.

In the face of ten aspects, no one can be confident, right?

Xiang Shifang was not in a good mood, that boy Yang Zeyi was fooled into coming here, saying that the two of them went out for dinner, but in fact he was going to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday and invited more than ten friends.Xiang Shifang hated making noise the most, but he couldn't let Yang Zeyi get off the stage in public, so his expression was covered with a layer of ice.

The classmates Yang Zeyi invited were male and female, all from the same school, so they naturally knew who Xiang Shifang was, especially the girls, their eyes were glued to Xiang Shifang's body, and they held hands with the people around them without feeling the pain. arrive.

Even Yang Zeyi's girlfriend, Yu Qiaoqiao, couldn't help but look at her frequently. She and Xiang Shifang are students at the same level, and she understands Xiang Shifang's attractiveness and unattainability better than everyone present, so she can sit at the same table with him. Eating is like a dream.

"Why do you keep looking at my brother?" Yang Zeyi complained dissatisfiedly to Yu Qiaoqiao.

Yu Qiaoqiao coughed guiltily, "Everyone is looking at him."

"Anyone can see it, but you can't." Yang Zeyi stood up with his arms around her shoulders domineeringly, and said loudly to his friends: "Today is Qiaoqiao's birthday, thank you very much for coming to celebrate together, today's food and drink I, Yang, will take care of the fun! Everything is based on Qiaoqiao's happiness!"

Everyone else applauded and cheered, and raised their glasses to celebrate.

Yu Qiaoqiao's vanity was greatly satisfied at this moment. Although Yang Zeyi was not comparable to Xiang Shifang, it was her best choice at this stage.

"Thank you." She smiled shyly at Yang Zeyi.

"Kiss one! Kiss one!" the following booed.

Yang Zeyi also glanced at her proudly.

Yu Qiaoqiao subconsciously glanced at Shifang, and found that his arms were resting on his thighs and his chin was supported, and his eyes were not looking this way at all. Feeling disappointed, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Yang Zeyi on the cheek.

It was lively noise again.

Xiang Shifang frowned slightly, he glanced at the time, and he had already calculated in his heart when it was time to leave.

Lin Ji tried his best to avoid getting close to Xiang Shifang's table in his future work. He didn't want Xiang Shifang to see that he was working here. Although he was not wrong, he wanted to maintain his face in front of the person he liked. .They are equal in school, but outside the school, Xiang Shifang is a noble young master, and Lin Ji is a waiter in the club.As soon as Lin thought about such a gap, he felt extremely inferior.

Tonight, his mood was hard to calm down. He accidentally broke a glass of juice on his body while carrying the plate, so he had to go to the bathroom to clean it up in dejection.

Fortunately, the trousers were only wet, and nothing could be seen in the dark trousers. Lin tried to dry himself with a towel, and when he was about to go out, he almost bumped into someone.

"Sorry." Lin Ji lowered his head and said.

"Tsk, almost hit me." The man sounded bad-tempered.

But the familiar voice made Lin Ji raise his head subconsciously, and met Yang Zeyi's frowning face.

Yang Zeyi stared at him with glasses, "Is that you?"

Since Lin didn't know Yang Zeyi well, he hadn't talked with Yang Zeyi since that "retaliation". Fortunately, Yang Zeyi still remembered him.

After Lin nodded, he quietly glanced behind Yang Zeyi, there was no sign of Shifang.

"It's a coincidence. I brought my girlfriend here for my birthday. Would you like to come and play with me?" Yang Zeyi said, he felt a little guilty towards Lin Ji, after all, he made trouble for him, and he never made up for it in the end What.

"No need, just play." Lin Ji waved his hand.

Only then did Yang Zeyi notice the clothes he was wearing, and he couldn't help being surprised: "You don't work here, do you?"

Lin Ji smiled: "Yes."

"But aren't you a student? You're still in the same class as my brother." In Yang Zeyi's view, those who are in the same class as his brother are capable people, and standing in the aura of Xiang Shifang, they should also be superior.

"Work-study program." Lin Ji said, "When you go back, don't tell your brother about my work here, okay?"

"Why should I tell him, he doesn't care about this." Yang Zeyi said casually.

"..." Sometimes the fact that is too direct will give people an indescribable bitterness, Lin Ji nodded and said: "Then I'm going to work, see you."

Yang Zeyi waved his hand gracefully.

But when he returned to his bag, he was gone.

"Where's my brother?" Yang Zeyi looked around.

"He just left." Yu Qiaoqiao replied, "When you were away, the neighbor was playing games, and one after another came over to ask for his number. He must have been annoyed, so he left."

"He didn't even say hello to me when he left." Yang Zeyi muttered, "We haven't cut the cake yet."

"By the way, he left this for you." Yu Qiaoqiao gave Yang Zeyi a bank card.

Yang Zeyi's eyes lit up, and he didn't complain at all, "He is really my brother!"

Soon the cake came back up, Yang Zeyi had already known it was ready, after the candles were put in, the whole clubhouse became dark, and all the waiters sang happy birthday song.

Yu Qiaoqiao never had such a grand birthday, the corners of her mouth couldn't even drop her happiness, she closed her eyes and made a wish, and then blew out the candles.

"Ooooooh happy birthday!"

Fireworks and applause fly together.

Yu Qiaoqiao hugged Yang Zeyi, and she whispered into Yang Zeyi's ear, "Honey, can you give me a wish?"

"Of course, one hundred will do!" Yang Zeyi said with pride, letting everyone hear his declaration.

Under such circumstances, Lin Ji still achieved good results in the final exam, as if all the sufferings he had experienced had been condensed into armor, making his willpower stronger.

Lin has stepped into the top ten of his grade, and has already stepped into the threshold of a prestigious university with half a leg.

But before he could take the news home, he received an emergency call.

"Xiaoji! It's not good, just now your mother coughed and had a chest pain, and now she has passed out! We are on the way to the hospital, come and see..."

Lin Ji immediately put down everything in his hands and rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible.

When he saw Lu Qianran, she was lying on the hospital bed, dangling water, with a ventilator inserted into her nose.

"Mom!" Lin Ji was so flustered that he was at a loss and couldn't help shaking.

"The doctor said that the condition is stable, don't worry." Grandma Wang came over to hold his hand.

"Thank you..." Lin Ji heaved a sigh of relief, as if collapsed.

"Which one is Ms. Lu Qianran's family?" A doctor called out at the door.

"I am." Lin Ji walked over quickly, "Doctor, is my mother alright?"

The doctor looked at the examination report, his voice was blocked by the mask, and he said in a heavy voice, "Your mother's condition is not very good. Her cancer cells tend to spread. Although chemotherapy has inhibited the speed of cancer cell spread, the current treatment plan may no longer be effective. Applicable to your mother's current situation..."

When Lu Qianran woke up, the first thing she saw was Lin Ji looking down at a book.

"Xiaoji." Her voice was still a little weak.

"Mom?" Lin Ji raised his head and asked with concern, "You woke up, how do you feel, and is there any discomfort in your body?"

"It's much better." Lu Qianran smiled at him, "What time is it now? Have you eaten yet?"

"Let's eat together when you wake up." Lin adjusted the angle of the hospital bed to let Lu Qianran sit up, and then took the insulated box next to the bed, "Grandma Wang brought it, old ginseng soup."

"Our family is really troublesome to Grandma Wang." Lu Qianran sighed, "I was fine this morning. I went to Grandma Wang's house to do embroidery. I don't know what's wrong, just...Xiaoji, what did the doctor say? Seriously? "

Lin Ji took out a bowl of soup and put it in her hand, "It's not serious, the doctor said the cancer cells didn't spread, it's just a coincidence like today's situation, don't worry."

Lu Qianran felt relieved, "That's good."

"However, the doctor said that it is better to change the treatment plan and come to chemotherapy four days a week." Lin Ji said in a very natural tone.

"Why is there an extra day?" Lu Qianran asked.

"Let's just listen to the doctor, and the medical expenses are only two hundred more." Lin Ji snickered with a treasure on his face, which made people laugh.

"200 yuan, save if you can." Lu Qianran shook her head, she knew that Lin Ji would not be happy if she didn't cooperate, so she had no choice but to accept it.

Lin Ji sipped the soup with a smile on his face, he concealed it very well.

That night Lu Qianran was hospitalized for a day of observation, and Lin Ji hurried to the clubhouse immediately after he was discharged from the hospital. They would deduct money for being late.

But tonight, Lin Ji's service was absent-minded, and he almost broke a bottle of wine. You must know that any bottle of wine in the clubhouse is worth his salary for a day.

When he returned home in the middle of the night, he was so tired that his body was exhausted, but his consciousness was very clear.

The cost of the new chemotherapy regimen is double that of the previous one.

He could clearly feel that there was a huge stone pressing on his body, as if it was going to crush his bones.

This midterm, Lin Ji's performance was rewarded in the class. The rewards for high school students were all school supplies, but the sense of achievement of being praised by the teacher on the podium cannot be given by any material.

Lin Ji didn't have the energy to feel happy.

Teacher Wu, the teacher in charge, also talked to him alone, saying that if he kept his performance like this, it would be very easy for him to be admitted to a key university in Yongshi.

"Teacher, I don't want to go to Yongshi." Lin Ji's voice was exhausted, "I want to stay in Yunshi. My mother is sick, and I have to take care of her by her side."

Mr. Wu knew about his family situation. He patted Lin Ji on the shoulder and said, "It's not easy for you to still maintain excellent grades under such conditions. Whether it's in Mianshi, we Mianji University is also a national priority. By the way, Mian University will give a recommendation quota to each key university every year. I think you meet all the requirements. I will help you fight for this application quota."

"Really?" Lin opened his eyes wide. He spent more time as a middle school student, so he never thought that the submission would fall on him.

"Of course." Teacher Wu smiled, "It's likely to happen in all likelihood, so you can rest assured and wait for the result."

"Thank you, teacher!"

But even if the matter of going to college is confirmed, Lin Ji still doesn't feel relaxed.It was enough for him to maintain Lu Qianran's previous treatment, and now he didn't know what else to do to fill in the money.

Lin couldn't think of a solution at all, he was fidgeting, and always felt that it was a waste of time to be idle. He even accepted a leaflet distribution job at noon, and he didn't eat lunch all day. After distributing leaflets for two hours, he only got 70 yuan.

70 yuan, take five yuan for cooking, and buy half an old duck for the rest, and stew old duck soup for Lu Qianran tonight.

During the recess in the afternoon, Lin Ji took out the steamed buns he bought in the morning and served them with a bottle of water. This was his late lunch.

The steamed buns were a bit rotten, but he was so hungry that he almost choked on half of one in two bites.

While eating, Lin Ji's nose became very sore.

It's too difficult, what should I do?

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calming those sudden floods of emotion.

Can't cry, crying is endless.

After holding it down, Lin Ji picked up the steamed bun and ate it again, but at this moment, the table behind him suddenly moved forward forcefully, and Lin Ji's chair was next to his table, which was also implicated. fell to the ground.

The back desk hurriedly said, "Sorry, I was looking for something."

Lin Ji shook his head, he picked up the steamed bun, the snow-white steamed bun was covered with dust.

He watched for a long time, and finally decided to tear off the dirty part and finish the steamed bun.

If he is hungry, he will not be able to listen to the next class.

When he broke off all the dusty places and wanted to continue eating, a bag of things suddenly fell in front of him.

Since Lin was taken aback, he raised his head at a loss.

He met Xiang Shifang's handsome but expressionless face.
