Jinnian

When Gu Chen was in his senior year, Lu Chuxiu went abroad to study. Before the university, because of his efforts, they got four years of companionship day and night, but the separation now is also expected.Fortunately, after four years of getting along, they have a completely different ending from those couples who broke up as soon as they graduated.

The love on campus is pure and beautiful, but it is also easy to perish. When faced with various practical problems such as belonging, future, and work after graduation, young love appears so fragile and thin.Sometimes it's not that we have no choice but to lose to reality.

But on this point, Gu Chen and Lu Chuxiu were very lucky.They have a prosperous life and a definite future. They don't need to worry about bread, and they don't need to do all kinds of frustrating multiple-choice questions.Although in the past four years because of Lu Chuxiu, Gu Chen has not been able to enjoy a normal university life, failed to get along with his roommates, failed to participate in the sleeper meetings every night in the dormitory, and did not participate in many school events. Activities, however, compared to what he gained, those lost things would not seem so heavy.

In the past four years, Lu Chuxiu took him to the most prestigious museums in the world, and saw self-sufficient and pleasant manors. He allowed him to read freely, learn and give him practical exploration.Lu Chuxiu would take him to see all the interesting things in Gu Chen's book to appreciate them with his own eyes.He also took him to appreciate the unique beauty in this world.The magic of Saipan's sea water, the street style of the homeless, the most dangerous and charming mountain peaks in the world, as well as those famous and unknown ancient buildings in the whole of China, no matter where Gu Chen goes, there is always a familiar embrace and friendship by his side. Voice, through thousands of mountains and rivers, the agility in his eyes is more pure than others, and the world in his eyes is wider than others.

This is another world that ordinary people cannot give.

However, apart from those incomparable beauties, what Lu Chuxiu can give Gu Chen is also the darkness that ordinary people cannot see.The closer you are to the center of wealth, the more you can see the despicableness and greed of human nature.Those celebrities who have social resources and huge wealth, those vicious and cunning businessmen, that circle full of blood and killing, there are people selling their dignity and body every moment.The rules of the game are unfair, what you want is never proportional to what you pay.Lu Chuxiu never thought of hiding anything, except for things that could not bear to challenge Gu Chen's nerves, he never shy away from letting him know the real laws in their world!

It's not as easy and comfortable as ordinary people imagine. Every minute and every second, everyone is exchanging information and conspiracies, trampling and playing with other people's minds and bodies, enjoying their own senses in extravagance, and gaining momentum. Waiting for the counterattack!The law of the jungle is nothing more than that. How can there be a story about Prince Charming falling in love with Cinderella in this world?They will only look for rich daughters who are in the same family as themselves and can maintain the family's survival!After all, this is a society of the jungle.

All of these, in the eyes of ordinary people, might never be experienced in a lifetime, but to Gu Chen, it was just a blink of an eye.He lost some essential things in life, but he also gained a prince's lifelong loyalty!The measure of gains and losses has different standards for everyone. Lu Chuxiu once asked him more than once: "Will you regret it?" Gu Chen also replied more than once: "I have got enough, so I can't be too greedy." .”

Gain and loss, he is a transparent person, from birth to now, God has never treated him kindly.

During the two years when Lu Chuxiu went abroad, Gu Chen attended classes as usual, read various books and did various experiments.Their telephone network has never been interrupted. Across the ocean with a telephone wire, Gu Chen has never realized that he would be so deeply thinking about someone all night long.

However, that year was a special time, and Gu Chen's thoughts were transformed into a war without gunpowder. Just like many people who were worrying about and fighting, they were facing and experiencing a life-and-death struggle. test.

At the end of April, the number of SARS-infected cases in City S rose sharply from more than 400 at the beginning of the month to more than 900. I don’t know when, people wearing masks are everywhere on the street, and the pungent smell of disinfectant is permeating in the school. Suspension of classes, closing of schools, inspections, disinfection... Every day seems to be living under white terror.

At the end of May, Gu Chen participated in the SARS "sniper battle" with his mentor. At that time, there were only six hospitals in S City designated to accommodate patients infected with SARS. It can cause waves of panic when roaring down the street.Patients flocking from all over the country are eagerly looking for shelter, and medical staff are in short supply.

Gu Chen's school is a top-ranked university in S City, and their mentors have already participated in this "protracted" struggle. Although there is still one year to graduate, many students in the school are willing to devote themselves to the school ahead of time. In the industry they are about to work in.The so-called young and fearless, this is a group of young people with ideals and beliefs, with blood flowing in their bodies to save lives and heal the wounded, and fight against death.

But the reality is so harsh that it makes people feel helpless. When Gu Chen looks at batches of isolated desperate eyes and dying dicks every day, all his enthusiasm seems to be stuck on steel nails, and he is left to linger. .A week later, the instructor said "I'm sorry" to their new young people, and said "I'm sorry, children" in a hoarse voice through thick protective clothing and masks.

There is no extra comfort and heartfelt words, only "I'm sorry".The professor is over fifty years old, and like them, he checks patients non-stop every day, compares samples repeatedly, holds meetings again and again, and researches...Through the wide eyepatch, Gu Chen suddenly feels angry and sad. No matter how hard they tried, they were no match for a natural disaster.

The nasal cavity was oppressed under the heavy mask, and the tears flowed out almost uncontrollably.Every day he walks in the long corridor, all he sees are frightened and sad faces, those old people lying in bed alone, those children who don't know anything and giggling, those young men and women, those who are as busy as him Doctors and nurses, they may be someone's parents, someone's child, someone's husband, someone's lover... They have many real connections and concerns with this society,

But once you walk in here, it means that everything is over, gone, turned into dust.

His heart was so oppressed that he couldn't breathe, he hurried to the small window at the end of the corridor, and wept silently towards the green tree outside the window.Frustrated with helplessness, he felt for the first time that he had learned nothing in the four years in school.

Suddenly, a handkerchief appeared in front of her eyes. Obviously, it was a man's handkerchief, simple and elegant.

Gu Chen turned his head, and a man wearing a thick protective suit like him and wearing a mask and eyepatch stood in front of him.

"Take a breath." His voice was cold.

Gu Chen took the veil, took off the blindfold, wiped his eyes vigorously, and said with a choked voice, "Thank you."

The man looked at him and said, "Life is a matter of life and death, just do your best."

Gu Chen turned his head, the man's gaze from the blindfold was as cold and pure as his voice, he suddenly shouted uncontrollably: "I just hate this feeling of being unable to do anything, I thought I learned a lot , I thought it would be useful, but it turns out that in the face of death, I can't do anything..."

He said a lot in one breath, and the depression and helplessness during this period suddenly seemed to have an outlet to vent.The moment he yelled, he seemed to be able to breathe normally in his heart, even though he was still wearing a mask.

"This is just the beginning," the voice continued with a cold indifference that didn't match the surrounding atmosphere, "you will find out in the future,

There are many things in life that cannot be done.If you can't figure it out, it's yourself who makes things difficult. "

Gu Chen raised his head, the detachment in those eyes surprised him, "Who are you?" He blurted out.

"Sang Qiuluo."

That was the first time he and Qiu Luo met. Under the layers of packages, they knew each other with just a few simple words and eyes. Gu Chen never thought that in his future life, Qiu Luo would become My irreplaceable best friend, I never thought about it at that time,

What has this man with indifferent eyes experienced before.

After Qiu Luo left, Gu Chen was still standing in front of the window sill.The mobile phone in the pocket of the clothes continued to vibrate, and the warm touch seemed to replace the beating of the heart.Gu Chen didn't dare to take it out, his hands were shaking.After a long time, the vibration finally stopped.When he took it out and saw the familiar name, his eyes were warm.

Soon, a text message came into view: "Are you experimenting again?"

Gu Chen clumsily wanted to reply, but found that he was still wearing gloves. He didn't tell Lu Chuxiu about volunteering for SARS, but now he couldn't help it anymore. He wanted to find some strength to support him.

"I am at the hospital."

Soon, the phone vibrated in his hand, and Gu Chen almost dropped it in a daze.

After Lu Chuxiu realized that Gu Chen was not an infection but a volunteer, he only said one sentence: "I'm going back to China right away, Gu Chen, come out of that damn place immediately!"
