A sound of birds chirping flew by, and Ye Zhen looked up from the thick judicial examination reference book, only to realize that it was already spring.

Whenever Ban Xia looked at her book, she put on an expression of "I don't know the person next to me", and sat in the library with her back against her while holding an entertainment magazine.

After the incident last year, Ban Xia no longer felt worried that she would go to the library alone until late at night, and would come with her every time, either reading magazines or chatting with her mobile phone, without making a sound or affecting Ye Zhen's reading.

Ye Zhen thought about reading the exam book first, although she had to be a senior to take the exam, but she didn't want to waste time.

It is said to be deserted, but in fact, the people around her have not yet started to prepare. On the contrary, she not only has to work part-time, but also never asks for leave. After finally taking the leave, she either squeezes out time to study or runs laps on the sports field by herself.

In her senior year of internship, she had to go to a court or a law firm, and she didn't have a solid background. In a place like Beijing full of high-ranking officials, it was even more impossible to enter a court.

Then, if you want to enter a good law firm, the first thing you need to win is the departmental examination.

This is her first step in becoming a good lawyer.

For some reason, she inexplicably competed with herself. In Banxia's words, it was like being possessed by a demon. The most frightening thing was that she passed high scores in the elective courses of high mathematics, which made Banxia start to drag her. Tucking her sleeves begging for make-up lessons.

So every day, she took time out to teach Pinellia, who knew little about it, how to do advanced mathematics.

And no matter how she teaches, Ban Xia just doesn't get the hang of it. A natural liberal arts student, I don't know why she went to study finance, so she is obviously so insensitive to numbers.

After teaching Pinellia for more than half a month, she began to question whether the quality of her teaching in the training institution was dry. By chance, the two met Lu Licheng in the library.

So the heavy responsibility of tutoring Pinellia fell on Lu Licheng.

Seeing Ban Xia propping her head with one hand and drawing with the tip of a pen with the other, and looking at Lu Licheng with envious and admiring expressions in her eyes, Ye Zhen buried her head in the law silently.

Half a month later, Lu Licheng's confidence suffered an unprecedented blow.

He found Ye Zhen with a 43-point mock test.

"This is the result of our one-month tutoring. Please tell me what her previous grades are, so that I can feel better."

"Oh, it's already increased a lot. She scored 17 points in the test before, and two of them were gifted by the teacher." Ye Zhen smiled and looked at Lu Licheng's twitching mouth, "Don't ask me how she got the test, I don't understand her world."

Lu Li took a long breath, turned his head, and said to Banxia with a dark face: "I will teach you for another month, the quality cannot be guaranteed, and passing should be forced."

"That's enough! Passing is enough!" Ban Xia raised her hands, "Thank you Teacher Lu, I will treat you to dinner!"

So Ye Zhen saw Lu Licheng take off his black-rimmed glasses, pinch the acupuncture points between the corners of his eyes and the bridge of his nose, put them back on, and continued to teach.

Ban Xia said that serious people are the most charming, now Ye Zhen casually flipped through the pages of the book with one hand, and turned the pen with the other, watching him earnestly and patiently teach Ban Xia how to do the questions, the corners of her mouth could not help but smile, He bowed his head and read hard again.

The late spring cold hit Beijing without warning. The Siberian cold snapped over this group of young students in Beijing who already thought they could wear thin sweaters in April. Many people in the school caught colds, and the infirmary was overcrowded.

Ye Zhen woke up later than usual on weekends, and felt a little foggy when she woke up. Although there was no major problem with her breathing, her throat was a little sore.

After washing up, she rummaged through some pills and swallowed them with the water left in the cup last night, then hurriedly walked out of the dormitory.

Even if you have a cold, you still have to work part-time.

Lu Licheng had already been waiting in the office to look through the lesson plans. Ye Zhen greeted him, blinked her tear-filled eyes, and sat down on the seat.

"Have you caught a cold?" Lu Licheng asked, "It sounds serious."

"I don't know, maybe I didn't close the window last night." Ye Zhen took off the woolen scarf, put it on the back of the chair, and started to read the lesson to be taught today.

She noticed her nasal voice when speaking in class, and during lunch break, her nose flowed out involuntarily.Ye Zhen, who was eating, hurriedly tore the toilet paper to wipe it, and Lu Licheng who was opposite saw her blushing.

After get off work in the afternoon, Lu Licheng stood at the door waiting for her to finish class as usual.

The little girls in Ye Zhen's class saw Lu Licheng scrambling to say hello, but Lu Licheng just nodded and looked at her.

"Still suffering?" he asked.

Ye Zhen's thinking was obviously slow for a while, and it took a long time to recover and realize that he was asking about a cold.

"Well, it's even more uncomfortable. It's better in the morning." She sniffed, "I almost used the whole roll of toilet paper in the afternoon."

Lu Licheng obviously smiled lowly, and walked out first: "Go buy some medicine?"

"No, there are some in the dormitory." Ye Zhen shook her head, but felt that her head was so heavy that she couldn't lift it up, as if someone had poured cement and it hurt even shaking it.

As soon as she got on the bus, within a few minutes, she leaned against the glass window and fell asleep.

People with a cold usually sleep very deeply. When she was woken up by Lu Licheng who was standing next to the seat, she found that she did not know when she leaned on Lu Licheng's arm that was supporting her on the back. The school site has arrived.So she followed Lu Licheng through the crowd and got out of the car unsteadily.

Back in the dormitory, Ban Xia wasn't there, the other two obviously wanted to go out, so she greeted briefly, didn't know what she said, she didn't even take off her coat, fell asleep on the bed and fell into a dark sleep.

This sleep was extremely heavy, Ye Zhen seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, her whole body fell into the mud, unable to wake up independently, in a daze, Ban Xia took off her coat and stuffed it into the quilt, filled a glass of water, turned over and fell asleep again.

She did dream.

She dreamed that she was on the boulevard, standing in front of Lu Licheng in white shirt and jeans, with his back to her, holding the clothes in one hand, patted the basketball in the other, and walked forward carelessly.She wanted to catch up with him, but her steps were so heavy that she couldn't lift them up.Just like that, he watched Lu Licheng walk farther and farther into the sun.

Lu Licheng, don't leave me behind.

she cried inwardly.

But in the dream he didn't hear it.

Ye Zhen knew that she was dreaming, but she couldn't wake up, she just watched Lu Licheng disappear like that, and then the picture changed, it was Lu Licheng in the red shirt and sleeveless shirt on the court, the basketball hit her as she expected She came over, but no one helped her block it, and it woke her up in an instant.

When she half opened her eyes, Ban Xia was on the phone.

The light in the dormitory was still on, and she vaguely saw from the clock on the wall that it was already 11:30 at night.

She heard Banxia saying on the phone: "Is it Lu Licheng? I'm Guan Banxia. Ye Zhen has a high fever that doesn't go away. Can you come over?"

She didn't have the strength to listen to what was said there, so she fell asleep again.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a hasty knock on the bedroom door, followed by a familiar voice asking: "Where is he, what's the temperature now?"

"On the bed by the window, it's [-] degrees, I wiped her body with a cool towel, I don't know if it will help." Ban Xia said.

"How long has it been forty degrees?"

"It's been about five hours since she came back."

"Go to the hospital." Lu Licheng frowned and said without hesitation.

"Okay." Ban Xia immediately climbed onto her bed and began to put a coat over her pajamas.

Ye Zhen got out of bed in a daze, even though Ban Xia put on a hat and scarf on her head, she leaned forward in a daze and was about to fall down, being caught by a cool embrace.

"Let's go." Lu Licheng's voice said above her head.

"Ah."

Wait, no, I can't go, she saved the money with great difficulty every month, and she can't send it to the hospital just because of a cold.

"Don't go to the hospital..." She protested weakly, Lu Licheng listened to her when she heard her words, "I won't go to the hospital...it's so expensive..."

He was silent for a few seconds, as if he had made some important decision, he said to Ban Xia: "Let's go."

So she was caught by the man's broad and familiar back, and her arms naturally wrapped around the man's neck. Because of the weakness of her body, it took a lot of strength for her arms to fully embrace her.

"Lu Licheng..." She begged him with a weak voice along the way: "Shall we not go to the hospital?"

"Why?" Lu Licheng's voice was panting slightly because of the trot, "Because you can't afford the drip?" His voice was a little chilly.

Ye Zhen hummed softly.

"If I don't go to the hospital, my parents don't have any money, so I still have to save money... I will give them... retirement..." Ye Zhen felt sore as she spoke, and her uncontrollable tears gushed out violently Eye sockets, "Lu Licheng... I don't want to go to the hospital..."

"No." Lu Licheng refused without hesitation, "You have a fever, Ye Zhen, and you will be fine immediately after taking an IV."

And she just shook her head blindly, tears flowed down his neck without a scarf, her nose was blocked, and she couldn't even breathe smoothly. Not long after crying, she began to cough due to suffocation.

"Don't cry." Hearing her cry, Lu Licheng said in a low voice, "Go get the infusion obediently, don't worry about the money."

Ye Zhen's mind was muddy from crying, and she couldn't hear what he said at all.

It was just as if, listening to his voice, my heart calmed down, a little too much.

So she nodded unconsciously, and fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, he was only accompanied by Ban Xia, who was not sleeping soundly, and he was wearing a coat that clearly belonged to Lu Licheng, but no one else was there.

She stared at the ceiling of the hospital for a long time, and when Ban Xia woke up to change her bottle, she found that she was awake.

"Zhenzhen?" Banxia waved her hands in front of her eyes.

"Yeah." She responded with a nasal voice, "Where's Lu Licheng?"

"He's going back first," Ban Xia tucked her clothes, "He still has a part-time job tomorrow."

Ye Zhen let out an oh.

This is Lu Licheng.

No matter what happens, nothing can stop him from completing his plan.

Ye Zhen buried her face in Lu Licheng's coat, leaned her head on Ban Xia's shoulder, closed her eyes and didn't think about it anymore, she just wanted to get well soon and earn money to make up for this loss.

What an unreasonable extra expense.Ye Zhen fell into a deep sleep while thinking.
