Window 2, Seventh Canteen

According to Jiang Wei's previous idea, Han Zilu should be told about the suspension of school first, and then he will go home and explain it to his father, but now, his father's phone call disrupted the plan.

He hasn't thought up a word yet, and now that Zilu is beside him, he can't talk to his father directly about the suspension of school on the phone.

Jiang Wei could hear the anxiety in his father's tone, but he couldn't respond to him directly. He only said that he would go home in a few days and talk about it at that time.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wei's first thing was to look at Han Zilu, afraid that he might hear something wrong, but fortunately, it didn't seem to be so, he just asked him why he came home suddenly.

Jiang Wei was about to blurt out the matter of her suspension from school, she opened her mouth, but the words seemed to be strangled back into her throat by a thick hemp rope.

He wasn't sure about Han Zilu's reaction to this matter, and vaguely felt that it would be better to settle everything first and then tell the truth.

So Jiang Wei casually said something about the family, and said that he would go to Chaozhou and go back.

Han Zilu didn't care too much, but Jiang Wei felt very uncomfortable.

He didn't want to hide it deliberately, but he always felt that his suspension of school might touch Han Zilu's backlash.

Jiang Wei started packing up when he got home. Even if he didn't go home to see his father, he was going to Chaozhou. He was in a hurry and didn't pack his luggage. To clean up the mess I made.

Before leaving, he contacted Dr. Su and asked him to see Han Zilu once a day for the next three days, and he paid the consultation fee in advance before leaving Beijing, but he still couldn't help worrying.

Han Zilu is like a bug, usually everything is fine, but his emotions explode without warning, making it impossible to rest assured that he will stay in Beijing alone, and it is precisely because of this that Jiang Wei decided to drop out of school.

Choosing to suspend school when he is about to graduate means that he will have to retake the senior courses next year. This is not an easy decision. Jiang Wei was also very entangled in it, but finally made up his mind.

After all, in the current situation, even if he bites the bullet and finishes the Bi She, he doesn't have the heart to complete the thesis defense. Instead of making do, it's better to overturn it next year and start over.

Jiang Wei planned three days for her itinerary to leave Beijing this time, one day to go home, one day to Chaozhou, and on the third day to pack up and take the nearest flight back.

The first two days came as planned, but something went wrong on the third day.

When he came out of the daily-use porcelain factory, he saw that the sky was covered with cloudy clouds, as if there was going to be a heavy rain. Sure enough, before he arrived at the airport, the raindrops fell, making everything between the sky and the earth dark and hazy.

Jiang Wei looked out of the window with his chin propped up, his sight unfocused, as if he was looking through the rain to an unknown distance.

Although it was just a suspension of school, the strange thing was that when I thought about moving out of the dormitory in the next few days, I felt like I had graduated ahead of schedule.

It seems that from now on, I am no longer a student, and I have to learn to survive in the unknown world and be on my own.

These words were exactly what he said during the interview with his father. He never thought that after telling a lie a thousand times, it would come true. Regardless of the feeling of being a student, he actually felt it in advance.

Jiang Wei didn't want to tell anyone about Han Zilu's drug use, even his own father couldn't tell, and he could only lie about dropping out of school.

Fortunately, he is no stranger to the word suspension. From the beginning of his freshman year, there are four or five students who have suspended school around him. They have never eaten pork and have seen pigs run. Jiang Wei chose it among various known reasons. The one that best suited my personality was used as an excuse to deal with my father.

"I want to experience the society before I graduate, so that I can understand what I lack." These are Jiang Wei's original words. Jiang's father was puzzled at first, but he readily agreed after listening.

Jiang Wei couldn't forget the joy on his father's face at that time. Every time he thinks about it these days, he feels like being pricked by the tip of a needle in his heart, and it hurts every time he jumps.

We all know that being honest is not easy, but lying is even more difficult.

Dad's tone was full of pride.

"If you suspend school just to avoid graduation, then I really can't agree, but you gave Dad the most sufficient reason. Indeed, it is more reasonable to suspend school now than to graduate first and then take the postgraduate entrance examination. In one year, you go to make preliminary contacts Society, no matter what form it takes, is good. Only after you have been in contact with it will you know what you will face in the future. In this way, when you return to school after a year, you will no longer study blindly, but supplement your own deficiencies in a targeted manner, and even If you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination directly or go abroad, Dad will support you, because I believe that after this year, you will understand your future life direction better, and you will really think about it and act instead of following the trend."

How could Jiang Wei not blush after hearing such words?But after blushing, something in my heart became firm.

The future is unpredictable, but at least he can work as hard as he said in this year, at least not let his father down, nor let himself regret it.

When we arrived at the airport, there was still an hour before take-off. When Jiang Wei went to queue to check in his luggage, he found that there were a lot of passengers in the airport today, and there were many people gathered around who didn't know what they were discussing.

But he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't realize until he got to the check-in counter that he might not be able to leave.

Because of the thunderstorm, most of the flights that day were canceled, and all the rest were delayed indefinitely.

Jiang Wei, together with those who were also stranded at the airport, blocked in front of the big announcement sign and asked the airport staff for his flight number.

"Your flight has been cancelled. You can get a refund or change your ticket. The counter is over there."

Jiang Wei was a little at a loss, "The cancellation means that you are sure you won't fly, and you won't fly from today to night?"

"I can't fly, I can't fly at all, and it will be late at night at the earliest, but I can't be sure now. It is recommended to change the ticket or refund the ticket."

Ten minutes later, Jiang Wei stood in front of the rebooking service desk.

"Excuse me, what's the earliest time it can be changed tomorrow?"

"The ones in the morning are all full now, and there is only one seat left for the [-]:[-] flight, do you want to change it?"

"It's so late, are you sure you can fly at twelve o'clock?"

"It's hard to say, but depending on today's weather, it may still be impossible to fly."

Jiang Wei: "Is there any other way? I'm really anxious!"

"I can't even fly, I'm in a hurry, or would you like to see the train?"

Jiang Wei: "Can the train run?"

"The train is fine."

Jiang Wei braved the heavy rain and took a taxi to the train station. When he saw the long queue outside the ticket window, he secretly felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, when he was finally in line, he asked the conductor, not to mention the one bound for Beijing tonight, even if it was sold out tomorrow morning, it would be noon at the earliest.

Thinking about the time in his mind, Jiang Wei endured his temper and chose to go back to the airport.

The plane at 04:30 noon the next day was full, and the earliest ticket he could get was at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and there was no guarantee that he could fly.

After exchanging tickets, Jiang Wei walked through the crowd to the door, looking at the cloudy sky, suddenly felt an indescribable depression, including anxiety and anger, and didn't know how to deal with it.

Subconsciously, she took out her phone and dialed Han Zilu's number, thinking to say a few words to him to change her mood.

Unexpectedly, when he heard Han Zilu's voice, Jiang Wei's eyes were astringent and his nose was sore, and he actually had the urge to cry.

Emotions that have not been experienced in many years surged, like a torrential rain ahead, washing away everything.

Jiang Wei couldn't hold back anymore, and was afraid that Han Zilu might hear something wrong, so he hung up the phone after saying a few words.

Although it is summer, the rain hits the face, but there is a kind of coolness in the heart.

Jiang Wei walked to a nearby hotel drenched, and fell asleep until the next day. Those uneasiness and frustration turned into a long nightmare, and horror scenes were played out in his mind over and over again.

In the last dream, he kept running, but his whole body seemed to be fixed by some kind of gravity, and he just couldn't move forward.

Some things are useful without hard work. For example, in the face of flight cancellations, the distance from Guangdong to Beijing determines that no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to arrive as planned.

For example, in the face of Han Zilu, his distrust of himself also determined that no matter how much care and company he gave, he would not be able to open the door in his heart.

Like facing the missing captain...

What if flights keep getting canceled?What if Han Zilu gets better?What if the captain never came back like this?

Every question has no answer.

When he woke up, Jiang Wei was groggy, and his bones seemed to be rusted, and rust slag fell all over the place when he moved casually.

The only remaining room in the hotel has no windows, and there is only a dim and yellow light in the whole room at the entrance.

Jiang Wei took a hasty shower, collected his things, and went downstairs to check out. When paying the money, he couldn't help but ask, "How's the weather today?"

The other party only replied with two words, "It's okay."

Jiang Wei walked out of the small hotel with a sullen mood, opened the door, but felt bright and dazzling.

The sky was still dotted with dark clouds, but between the clouds, a ray of golden sunlight penetrated the darkness and sprinkled to the earth, and also to Jiang Wei's eyes.

Jiang Wei couldn't help laughing, and ran towards the airport with big strides. All the negative emotions from yesterday seemed to have been dried by the sun, leaving only a seed soaked by the rain, and sprouted in his heart.

Even if you work hard, you won't get good results, but as long as you try your best, you won't regret it.

Jiang Wei went home this time, just like last time, he didn't tell Han Zilu in advance.

Because of the experience last time, standing in front of the door now, he was even a little afraid to open the door.

What are you afraid of?

Maybe I'm afraid of smelling a pungent marijuana smell again.

Or maybe just like that night, Han Zilu was not at home again.

Fear is like a shaken Coke bottle. Once a small opening is opened, the bubbles inside will uncontrollably churn out, and it's too late to tighten the cap.

Jiang Wei took the key back, raised his right index finger and clasped it on the door.

"Boom."

"Dong dong dong."

The knock on the door lasted unhurriedly for three or four minutes, and Jiang Wei became more and more uneasy.

He took out the key and opened the door, from the living room to the kitchen.It is already 09:30 in the evening, Zilu should not be at home, but he is.

Jiang Wei sat on the stool as soon as he entered the door, staring at the dark corridor in a daze. He had already clutched the phone in his hand, but he was afraid to dial the number.

After a delay of about 2 minutes, he still dialed the phone.

"Where are you?"

"Jiang Wei! I, I'm on my way! I'll call you later!"

Han Zilu's voice was full of excitement, Jiang Wei couldn't help frowning, "Don't hang up, what way? Where are you going?"

Han Zilu calmed down a bit, but he still couldn't hide his excitement, "On the way, go to the lucky cat, there is a new cat that may be the captain!"

Jiang Weiyi jumped up from the stool when he heard this, "Really!? That's great! Where's the address? Give me the address!"

Han Zilu: "I'll be there soon. I'll contact you as soon as I'm sure. How is your project going?"

Jiang Wei was silent for a few seconds, "Zi Lu, give me the address, I'm in Beijing."
