[Now] I want to hold your hand tightly

Ge Min and Lin Shanshan cleaned up a bedroom for Zhou Jisheng.Because it was temporarily decided to make a report the day after tomorrow, Zhou Jisheng opened his notebook and opened the thesis stored in the computer for further revision.

At this time, in Lin Shanshan's bedroom, Ge Min chased her daughter to ask about Zhou Jisheng's situation, and asked her daughter if Zhou Jisheng really had a girlfriend.Lin Shanshan nodded solemnly to her mother. She knew what her mother meant. Although the family immigrated to the United States, Ge Min always hoped that her son-in-law would be Chinese.There are also many Chinese doctors in Boren Hospital, but they are not married, and they can't speak a word of Chinese even when they grew up in the United States.Ge Min was anxious. Lin Shanshan didn't care whether the person he liked was Chinese or American. Lin Jun also persuaded Ge Min. He also thought that as long as his daughter liked it, it would be fine, but Ge Min wanted his daughter to find a Chinese. .

"Mom, just give up. Mr. Zhou has known his girlfriend for almost 20 years. I don't have a chance." Lin Shanshan raised her hands in surrender to her mother. She is only 27 years old. In the eyes of Americans, this age is still As a young man, it is too early to talk about marriage.

"If Dr. Zhou's report is successful this time, he will be able to stay in Boren Hospital." Ge Min did not give up. She had a very good impression of Zhou Jisheng. Even though Zhou Jisheng was seven years older than Lin Shanshan, Zhou Jisheng He comes from a good family background, has a gentle personality, is polite, and has a bright future. Even in the United States, you can't find such a good person.

Lin Shanshan could only respond in silence to her mother's tireless efforts to find a partner for herself.Ge Min saw that his daughter didn't care about it, and wanted to continue doing her daughter's ideological work, but the sudden knock on the door stopped Ge Min's words.Standing outside the door, Lin Jun smiled at the mother and daughter inside and said, "Didn't we agree that we would not hinder our daughter's marriage? You are wrong."

Seeing her husband coming forward, Ge Min stood up resentfully, walked towards her husband, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm worried about her, aren't you?"

Lin Jun shook his head unexpectedly: "My daughter can grow up to be independent, so we don't need to worry about it."

Ge Min sighed, she knew what her husband said, and since Lin Shanshan didn't care, she didn't worry.Lin Jun stopped Ge Min from retreating from Lin Shanshan's room. Before turning around, Lin Jun winked at his daughter who was sitting in the room. Lin Shanshan clasped his hands together to thank his father.

After her parents left, Lin Shanshan lay down on her bed, her bedroom door was facing Zhou Jisheng's bedroom, Zhou Jisheng's door was half closed, and the warm orange light fell into the corner of Lin Shanshan's eyes, Lin Shanshan gradually lost her mind watching the light.Ge Min was right, Zhou Jisheng had excellent conditions, and during the day and a half of contact with Zhou Jisheng, Lin Shanshan's affection for Zhou Jisheng gradually increased.She never believed in love at first sight. Although Lin Shanshan was a little surprised when she saw Zhou Jisheng for the first time, she did not expect that the doctor sent from China was a young and gentle person, but Lin Shanshan suppressed this little affection. In the bottom of her heart, she gradually grew fond of Zhou Jisheng during the day-to-day contact, but when she heard Zhou Jisheng said that she had a lover, Lin Shanshan felt a lot more relaxed.

"After all, I feel that I am not good enough for him." Lin Shanshan thought.

At this moment, Zhou Jisheng, who was engrossed in his dissertation, had no other thoughts. He didn't know that the owner of the bedroom a few steps away was full of thoughts, and he didn't know that there was a person who was shouting his name in his heart all the time across the ocean. .

His fingertips were flying, and the sound of keyboard tapping echoed in the room. Time passed unconsciously. After typing the last full stop, Zhou Jisheng raised his sore neck, and only then noticed the display on the computer screen. time.

It was already two o'clock in the morning, Zhou Jisheng shook his neck from side to side, he rarely stayed up late since he was working, because if he didn't sleep, Xu Haoran wouldn't go to bed early with peace of mind.In order to set an example and set a good example for Xu Haoran, Zhou Jisheng would drag Xu Haoran to sleep every day after 11 o'clock.Xu Haoran would protest for a while from time to time, but in the end he would compromise with Zhou Jisheng.The two slept in each other's arms, and when it was dawn, Zhou Jisheng would get up first to buy breakfast for Xu Haoran downstairs or make breakfast by himself, while Xu Haoran would get up half an hour later to wash up.

The room was silent. At this time, Zhou Jisheng's mind was suddenly full of Xu Haoran's face, and he remembered that he hadn't checked his mailbox that day. He checked his mailbox yesterday and found no email from Xu Haoran. Zhou Jisheng I thought maybe there would still be no emails from Xu Haoran today, but he still logged into his own mailbox.

A familiar signed email suddenly came into view, Zhou Jisheng was startled, and hastily clicked on the email.The ID of the sender is Xu Haoran, and this email only has six simple characters and an ellipsis separating his name from what Xu Haoran wants to say—Zhou Jisheng... I miss you.

For a moment, it seemed that Zhou Jisheng's all-too-familiar voice sounded in his ears. "Zhou Jisheng...I miss you." In one sentence, six words echoed back and forth in Zhou Jisheng's mind over and over again.Xu Haoran graduated from the Faculty of Arts, so Zhou Jisheng naturally understood the meaning of the punctuation marks used in every sentence.Xu Haoran once told Zhou Jisheng that punctuation marks are not only used to break sentences, each punctuation mark has a different meaning.In this sentence from Xu Haoran, before the ellipsis is Zhou Jisheng, and behind it is Xu Haoran’s inner thoughts. Zhou Jisheng felt the inner struggle and fear of the person who typed this sentence. Xu Haoran was worried that there would be no response to the email he sent. , I don't know whether I should send this email to Zhou Jisheng at this moment.

"Hao Ran..." Zhou Jisheng stared at the six-character email, repeating in a low voice the name he had kept in his heart for a whole day.

An unnatural arc was drawn at the corner of Zhou Jisheng's mouth, he was not confident about his feelings, he doubted Xu Haoran and at the same time denied his own feelings for Xu Haoran.How stupid I am!Zhou Jisheng quickly opened the webpage and searched for flight information on the official website of the American airport. No medical exchanges or presentations were as important as his beloved Xu Haoran.Zhou Jisheng couldn't imagine how he would face the future life alone if Xu Haoran was no longer by his side.

Lin Shanshan opened her eyes, she saw that her clothes hadn't been changed, and her makeup was still on her face, Lin Shanshan was shocked, she also looked sloppy.Lin Shanshan quickly sat up from the bed, the lights in the opposite room were still on, Lin Shanshan wondered why Zhou Jisheng was still up, she glanced at the time on the cell phone that was left beside her, it was [-]:[-] in the morning, Lin Shanshan didn't care that she hadn't washed yet, so she came to Zhou Jisheng's house in her slippers and knocked on the door.

After the knock on the door stopped for a long time, there was no response from anyone in the room. Lin Shanshan gently pushed open some doors, and the person sitting at the desk was facing away from him. They huddled together tightly.

"Are you still revising your thesis?" Lin Shanshan let out a breath, and asked as she walked towards Zhou Jisheng.

Zhou Jisheng was obviously completely silent in his thoughts, until Lin Shanshan approached, he didn't notice anyone beside him.

It was only when Lin Shanshan approached Zhou Jisheng that she could see clearly what Zhou Jisheng was up to. Zhou Jisheng was inquiring about the flight ticket back home?Hasn't Zhou Jisheng booked his comeback ticket yet?Lin Shanshan felt that something was wrong. If Zhou Jisheng wanted to book a flight ticket back home, he wouldn't have to stay up in the middle of the night to book it. Lin Shanshan took another look, then opened her mouth and swallowed what she wanted to say.

After a while, Zhou Jisheng noticed someone standing beside him. Zhou Jisheng raised his head. The originally handsome and handsome man had a dejected look on his face. After Lin Shanshan noticed Zhou Jisheng like this, he finally let out a low cry in surprise. .

"Miss Lin, it just so happens that you are here." Zhou Jisheng seemed to see a savior, he moved his notebook towards Lin Shanshan, "I don't know how to book a plane ticket on an American website, can you book for me one?"

"Are you going back today?" Lin Shanshan asked in surprise. Didn't Zhou Jisheng promise to give a report the day after tomorrow? Why are you going back today?

Zhou Jisheng just nodded. He seemed to be in a hurry, and turned his attention to the booking website on his notebook, continuing to search for the flight.

Lin Shanshan saw that Zhou Jisheng was looking for the plane ticket indiscriminately, so she took the notebook and looked for the plane ticket for Zhou Jisheng: "What time do you want?

"The sooner the better, it's best to be able to fly right away."

"..." Lin Shanshan really wanted to roll her eyes at Zhou Jisheng immediately. Now that she can fly, she has to go to the airport an hour earlier.

Zhou Jisheng caught Lin Shanshan's expression, and felt that he was a bit difficult, so Zhou Jisheng apologized to Lin Shanshan: "I'm sorry, it's fine at □□ o'clock in the morning."

"Can you tell me why you are in such a hurry?" Lin Shanshan asked Zhou Jisheng while looking for a ticket for Zhou Jisheng.

Zhou Jisheng smiled: "He misses me, I want to go back."

Intuition told Lin Shanshan that the person Zhou Jisheng was talking about should be Zhou Jisheng's lover in China.Because his lover misses him, he has to give up his future and go back to see him?Lin Shanshan sighed in her heart, being Zhou Jisheng's lover is very happy, but a person who values ​​the person she loves more than career and future is not a good marriage partner for Lin Shanshan.

"I'm afraid it's difficult for the one at □ in the morning, but there are still tickets for the one at [-] in the afternoon..."

"Then let's take this flight." Zhou Jisheng nodded before waiting for Lin Shanshan to finish speaking, he was afraid that if it was later he would not be able to go back today.

"Did you tell my dad? The director of Boren Hospital is also looking forward to your report this time." Lin Shanshan still couldn't bear to remind Zhou Jisheng that this time is very important to him. Is Zhou Jisheng really going to give up? Is this a great opportunity?

Zhou Jisheng shook his head, but he didn't show a trace of reluctance: "I'm going to tell Professor Lin in the morning."

Lin Shanshan squeezed out a smile, she saw Zhou Jisheng's determination from Zhou Jisheng's expression, so she no longer persuaded Zhou Jisheng to stay.
