[Now] I want to hold your hand tightly

At the end of August, there was a hint of coolness in the wind, and the raindrops fell on the umbrella, like the prayers of the angels.

On the ground, there was the sound of mournful crying and the sound of rain. Mama Xu, who was kneeling in front of the tombstone, let the rain wet her, stroking the tombstone for a long time and refused to get up.Zhou's mother was with Xu's mother, and Zhou Bo held an umbrella for them without saying a word.The people who came to pay homage to Xu Haoran had almost left. Zhang Shouzheng and Zhao Geyi were standing not far away, and they were whispering.

"Is there still no progress?" Zhao Geyi asked about Xu Haoran's student suing Xu Haoran for plagiarism two months ago.While Xu Haoran was hospitalized, Zhou Jisheng asked Zhang Shouzheng and Zhao Geyi to help Xu Haoran find evidence.Zhang Shouzheng and Zhao Geyi immediately nodded and agreed. Zhao Geyi had reprimanded Xu Haoran for his arrogance in front of many people, but although Xu Haoran's character did not please Zhao Geyi, Zhao Geyi admired Xu Haoran when it came to studying academics.Zhao Geyi did not believe that Xu Haoran would plagiarize a student's thesis, but after more than two months of comparison and searching thousands of related papers at home and abroad, Zhao Geyi still could not find any evidence that Xu Haoran did not plagiarize the student's thesis.Zhang Shouzheng was born in the College of Liberal Arts of Jingnan University, and together with Zhao Geyi, he helped Xu Haoran find evidence, but like Zhao Geyi, he didn't have a clue.

"Could it be that both of us have the wrong starting point?" The rain was getting heavier, and Zhang Shouzheng's suit on the left shoulder was already a little wet by the rain.

Zhao Geyi turned his head to look at Zhang Shouzheng, and frowned slightly: "Isn't it normal to use the timeliness of the paper to prove that the paper is not plagiarized?" , it is possible to prove that Xu Haoran's thesis is not plagiarized, he may have read that thesis like the student, so the two people's views are similar.

"That's not the case." Zhang Shouzheng shook his head, and he realized that this method can only prove that the student and Xu Haoran's thesis ideas were based on the earliest published papers, but it cannot rule out that Xu Haoran did not plagiarize that student's paper, and that he is not The most disadvantageous thing for Xu Haoran is that the overlap rate between his thesis and the students' thesis is as high as 80%, which is the most troublesome thing for them. "Old Zhao, don't you think we used the wrong method?"

Zhang Shouzheng told Zhao Geyi his thoughts, and Zhao Geyi nodded thoughtfully after listening. Indeed, the method they used could not prove that Xu Haoran did not copy that student.

"I'm afraid we're going to disappoint Xiao Zhou..." Zhang Shouzheng looked at Zhou Jisheng who hadn't moved for a long time standing alone in the rain, and heaved a long sigh.

"Hey, why did that girl come here? Didn't she go abroad?" Suddenly, Zhao Geyi touched Zhang Shouzheng, pointed to the woman walking towards Xu Haoran's tombstone with an umbrella in the rain, and said to Zhang Shouzheng.

Zhang Shouzheng looked in the direction of Zhao Geyi's finger, and then opened his mouth in astonishment: "Didn't she go to England? Why are you back now?"

"Hey, what did she give Xiao Zhou?" Zhao Geyi squinted his eyes, trying to read clearly the words on the document that Lin Yihan handed to Zhou Jisheng, but he and Zhang Shouzheng couldn't see anything clearly because they were too far away.

The man who was motionless in the rain looked at the woman standing in front of him, and finally twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a very shallow smile. Zhou Jisheng stretched out his hand, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes. Why is this woman at this moment? will be here?

"Are you surprised that I appear here?" The smile on the corner of Lin Yihan's mouth was also very indifferent.

"Hao Ran said that you went to study in England."

Lin Yihan nodded, and then she handed a file bag to Zhou Jisheng.

"what is this?"

"A document that can prove Xu Haoran's innocence." Lin Yihan handed the document bag to Zhou Jisheng before Zhou Jisheng reached out his hand. Seeing Zhou Jisheng staring blankly at her, she pouted and explained, "I asked The classmates of that student, they told me one thing, when Xu Haoran was teaching them in class, he once showed these students the viewpoints in his thesis and more than half of the papers he wrote in class. Xu Haoran also told them that he would It will be published in the next month, and the student rushed to the front of Xu Haoran and published this paper in the journal that is 80% similar to Xu Haoran's paper."

Zhou Jisheng suddenly looked up at Lin Yihan. If what Lin Yihan said was true, then it would prove that Xu Haoran's thesis was not plagiarized.

Lin Yihan smiled at Zhou Jisheng, as if laughing at Xu Haoran's stupidity: "He is too conceited, he put his thesis in class for the students to read, does he think that no one can imitate his essay? And He didn't even defend himself until he died, so he cared so much about his academic achievements?"

What Lin Yihan said Zhou Jisheng couldn't hear clearly, he held tightly the document that could prove Xu Haoran's innocence, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes, but it was too late.

In early September, the leaves begin to turn yellow, and the autumn of Jingnan University is coming.

Zhou Jisheng and Dean Chen sat face to face, each with a cup of tea on the coffee table. After taking a sip, Dean Chen looked at Zhou Jisheng who was sitting opposite, and asked, "The Washington seminar will be held at the end of the month. I don't want you to miss this great opportunity." This is the fifth time Dean Chen persuaded Zhou Jisheng to go to Washington, but Zhou Jisheng refused every time.

Zhou Jisheng put down his teacup and was about to speak, when Dean Chen said again: "I've heard enough of the reasons before, now I want you to listen to my reasons."

"Dean's reason?" Zhou Jisheng repeated what Dean Chen said, this time it was somewhat unexpected.

Dean Chen nodded and said, "My reason is also Xu Haoran's reason. I think if Xu Haoran is still here, you won't let you give up this great opportunity."

Zhou Jisheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile. Dean Chen found a good reason to convince him.

Like last year, it was Lin Shanshan who came to the airport to meet her.

"Although I should say my condolences to you, but I hope you can cheer up more. I think your he must also hope so." Lin Shanshan walked beside Zhou Jisheng, comforting Zhou Jisheng like this.

Zhou Jisheng nodded to Lin Shanshan, he will never disappoint Xu Haoran again.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the aftermath of last year in Jingnan University has continued into this year.Nie Mi, the dean of the Faculty of Literary Arts, made academic fraud, and then the candidate for the principal was sent anonymously to accuse him of accepting bribes. Both of them were expelled from Jingnan University. And Zhang Shouzheng wants to extend his retirement period until he finds a suitable successor for the principal of Jingnan University.

This year, Zhou Jisheng became the Chief Physician. The headquarters of Boren Hospital in Washington had invited Zhou Jisheng to work in the headquarters. However, Zhou Jisheng declined the kindness of the headquarters and resolutely returned to China to treat domestic patients.

The first snow at the end of the year fell silently. When Zhou Jisheng left the hospital, he found that a layer of snow had already accumulated on the road.Zhou Jisheng stomped his feet in front of the hospital gate, covered his mouth and nose with a scarf, and was about to bury his head and go out when suddenly a baby's cry came to his ears.Zhou Jisheng's heart trembled, he quickly looked around, and beside the inconspicuous bushes in the hospital, he saw a crying baby wrapped in a red scarf, Zhou Jisheng quickly hugged the baby in his arms, and he looked around Searched who left the baby here, but found nothing.

The baby stopped crying the moment Zhou Jisheng picked it up, and stared straight at Zhou Jisheng with round eyes, as if sizing up the man who suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Looking at the baby's eyes, Zhou Jisheng's heart throbbed. The pure and flawless obsidian-like pupils bloomed with unstained eyes, which were exactly the same as Xu Haoran's eyes when he first met him.

"Hao Ran..." Zhou Jisheng called out the name that had been hidden in his heart for a long time. Zhou Jisheng held the newborn baby in his arms tightly, and repeatedly called out the name of the person who had gone away.

Haoran...Xu Haoran.

I miss you so much.
