Chapter 153
A University 613 dormitory.
Lin Xin’s roommate Zhou Ke just went to pick up the courier and came back. After returning to the dormitory, he opened the courier. Inside were two bottles of skin care water in transparent glass bottles.
This skin care lotion is not cheap, it costs more than 400 yuan for a bottle, and you only get a 10% discount if you buy two bottles together, but the effect is really good, especially in terms of water and oil balance.
Zhou Ke felt that after using it, she still had some pimples and closed her mouth before, but now it doesn’t grow much. She also has a little money, but she didn’t dare to buy more. This time it happened to coincide with an event, and it happened that Lin Xin also wanted to buy it, so the two of them went together Made an order.
Lin Xin was lying on the bed looking at her phone, Zhou Ke walked over, held the lotion and shook it beside her and said: “The lotion is here, I put it on the table for you, after the discount is 388, you can forward it to my WeChat That’s fine!”
“It’s here so soon? Let me see.” Lin Xin raised his head, took the lotion from Zhou Ke’s hand, then sat up from the bed, opened the bottle and poured some liquid in the palm of his hand. Very advanced taste, especially good smell.
Carefully patted the lotion on the face, then covered it and put it on the bedside. Lin Xin turned on the phone to transfer money to Zhou Ke. When transferring money, she noticed that the balance of WeChat change was insufficient, so she had to deduct the money from the bank card.
Lin Xin was startled, and exited from the transfer interface, switched to the WeChat change balance, and found that it was really only 230 yuan.
Unconsciously curling up her fingertips, Lin Xin checked her bank card balance again, and found that there was only a little over 200 yuan, and the sum of the two accounts was just over 500 yuan.
Lin Xin’s expression changed instantly, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his vest.
During this period of time, she spent money like running water. The clothes, bags, and cosmetics she liked before, because she suddenly had a lot of money, she didn’t consider the price, and bought it when she wanted it.
She didn’t keep an account after buying it, and always felt that she couldn’t spend all the money. She didn’t expect that in less than two months, she had more than 500 left in her hand, including Lin Hai’s return at the beginning of September. There were 6,000 yuan transferred to her in early October, and two months of living expenses transferred to her by Lin’s father and Lin’s mother.
A total of more than 7,000 yuan, and now only 500 are left.
When Lin Hai transferred the money to her at first, Lin Xin actually didn’t want to accept it, and was a little scared by the money.
Three thousand yuan is almost enough for her living expenses for half a year.
I was stunned and felt a little uncomfortable at the same time.
Lin Hai transferred money to her because he wanted her to help take care of Jing Zhao, and just to take care of Jing Zhao from time to time, he transferred so much money to her.
One can imagine how much he gave Jing Zhao.
Thinking of how many times he met Jing Zhao, she was dressed like a real city person, Lin Xin felt very uncomfortable, and she was sent to accept the money by some kind of ghost.
The money Lin Hai transferred to her was to ask her to help take care of Jing Zhao, but Lin Xin felt that Jing Zhao was such a grown man, so there was nothing to take care of him, and she didn’t like Jing Zhao at first, so she didn’t go to her very much. As long as Jing Zhao doesn’t suffer from any serious illness, Brother Lin Hai probably won’t say anything about her.
Gradually, she forgot about the WeChat messages that Lin Hai had sent her, and when Lin Hai transferred her 3,000 yuan as usual in the second month, she accepted it without any refusal.
Even, starting to look forward to the third month, spending more and more money.
Thinking of this, Lin Xin suddenly felt very regretful, not because he regretted that he had spent the money without keeping an account, but because he regretted sending that picture to Lin Hai.
Now people directly delete it for her, let alone money, it will be embarrassing to meet in the future.
She was really stunned at the time, thinking that she didn’t want Jing Zhao to live a better life than herself, thinking that she had finally caught her, and sent the picture to her impulsively.
But Brother Lin Hai still doesn’t believe her! Obviously what she said was true!
The more Lin Xin thought about it, the angrier he became, but it was too late to say anything now, and he had to wait until the next time he had a chance to see Brother Lin Hai to explain himself to him.
But right now, Lin Xin raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Ke who was sitting on a chair under the opposite bed and looking at his mobile phone. He lowered his eyes slightly, pretended not to know anything, and quietly lay back on the bed, covering his body with the quilt. He picked up his cell phone and sent Father Lin a message.
[Dad, I need to buy study materials recently, and the living expenses are not enough, can you give me another two hundred dollars? 】
Zhou Ke chatted with her friend for a while, but when she switched to WeChat, there was no new news notification. She paused, looked up at Lin Xin on the opposite bed, and found that the other party seemed to be asleep, motionless.
Zhou Ke frowned, originally wanted to say something, but held back.
*
A sophomore canteen, Jing Zhao had just finished class, and went to the canteen for lunch with Yu Shiyue and Li Yanran.
This Wednesday, they had no classes in the afternoon, so Zhou Wenwen said he was going to the library, but instead of going with them, he went to eat at the third dining hall closest to the library.
Arriving at the cafeteria, Jing Zhao took the dinner plate, went to the window to see what dishes were served today, and found that there were boiled fish fillets, she sniffed, smelled the aroma, and passed away.
She eats more casually, because she doesn’t have to think about the price, she can take whatever she wants, and besides Lin Hai will eat rice when she is together and when she goes home, she rarely eats rice at other times.
I took a bowl of boiled fish fillets, and a winter melon and corn ribs soup. It was still a little hot, so I drank some winter melon soup to relieve the heat.
Jing Zhao couldn’t eat much, the portions of these dishes were sufficient, and if she took too much, she couldn’t finish it, it was a waste, so she didn’t take any more, and sat down in a cool place.
As soon as she put down the plate, Yu Shiyue came over, rolled her eyes, put the plate on the opposite side of Jing Zhao, and said, “I said, why does she insist on coming with us today? It turns out she didn’t bring her meal card, so she asked me to borrow a meal.” Ka, I’m really convinced.”
Yu Shiyue had never been so annoyed by anyone since she was a child, Li Yanran was the first one who made her feel annoyed.
You said that if you accidentally don’t bring your meal card, it doesn’t matter if you borrow it once. It’s just a trivial matter to pay back the meal money you swipe on time. You can borrow it as many times as you want.
But Li Yanran didn’t, every time she borrowed the meal card and asked her to pay back the money, she would have to ask her repeatedly, like an old man, holding Yu Shiyue to the limit, and she never wanted to eat with her again.
But today she still didn’t escape, Yu Shiyue was really tired.
Li Yanran only looks for Yu Shiyue and not Jing Zhao, because she knows that Jing Zhao will definitely not lend her a meal card, because Jing Zhao is like this, very straightforward, just do whatever he thinks, but follow his own heart, if he doesn’t like you, he won’t give you face .
As for Yu Shiyue, even though she thought so in her heart, she would still make compromises for the sake of saving face.
For example, if Li Yanran borrowed a meal card from her in public, if she didn’t borrow it, she would feel embarrassed, as if everyone was looking at her, and she was very uncomfortable.
Jing Zhao took a spoonful of winter melon soup with a spoon, tasted it, and after hearing what Yu Shiyue said, he gave her a trick. Their meal cards can be limited, and there are counts for how many they use every day.
If Li Yanran asked her to borrow it next time, let her tell her that the meal card limit was exceeded and she couldn’t use it, even if Li Yanran didn’t believe it, she couldn’t grab her meal card to verify it on the spot, that would be a bit shameless.
“Hey, why didn’t I think of it! Well, if she comes to me again next time, I’ll just say that, ah no, it’s better not to have a next time, I’m really annoying.” Yu Shiyue said with an irritable look on her face .
Jing Zhao pursed his lips, and before he said anything, the mobile phone in his hand rang. Looking at the screen, it was called by Lin’s mother.
Jing Zhao answered the phone, and Lin’s mother’s voice immediately rang on the other end of the phone.
【Zhao Zhao, are you in class yet? 】
Jing Zhao: “No, Mom, I just finished class and I’m eating lunch!”
[Eat lunch, eat more, don’t be hungry, if you don’t have enough money, tell mom, and mom will transfer some for you. 】
Jing Zhao: “That’s enough, mom, I’m not short of money, so don’t pay me living expenses, save some clothes for me and dad.”
[You child, where did you get so much money? And there are so many things sent back this time? It doesn’t look like a bargain, did Lin Hai give it to you? Let me tell you, you are still young, you don’t have a family, and you can’t understand the hard work of a man’s family. If he gives you money, don’t waste it. Save it. If you don’t succeed or something happens, you can also Emergency…]
The family of Lin Hai and Jing Zhao knew about it. After applying for university, the two confirmed their relationship. The next day Lin Hai came to visit Lin’s father and Lin’s mother with a gift, which surprised Lin’s father and Lin’s mother. .
He really wanted to date Jing Zhao, and wanted to marry him back home, instead of just talking about it.
The door-to-door visit is also to get along with Jing Zhao more honestly, otherwise, the village is so big, if he is with someone and doesn’t know their parents, the news will spread throughout the village before the next day, all kinds of gossip , Waiting for Lin’s father and Lin’s mother to find out, it’s not good.
At first, Lin’s father and Lin’s mother found it difficult to accept. After all, Jing Zhao had just entered college, and suddenly a man appeared. He was still described by the village as a man who got rich suddenly, which seemed inappropriate no matter what.
But Lin’s father and Lin’s mother only received a heavy gift from others before. They thought it was because of Lin Hai’s gratitude, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. They have already taken a fancy to their second daughter. Such a heavy gift.
Not to mention the lack of manpower, Lin Hai was a child who was watched by Lin’s father and Lin’s mother. They didn’t believe what the people in the village said, saying that he was a white-eyed wolf. They are all from the same village, have lived together for decades, and basically know everyone in the same village. Good, bad, black-hearted and supercilious, there is no need to talk about it.
Moreover, Lin Hai vowed to be good to their daughter, saying that if she didn’t want to get married so soon, he could wait until she graduated from college.
Jing Zhao was also helping to speak, and Lin’s mother softened. Since Lin’s father was not Jing Zhao’s biological father, he always listened to Lin’s mother in Jing Zhao’s affairs.
Lin’s mother agreed, so he wouldn’t say anything more, and the relationship between Jing Zhao and Lin Hai just passed Minglu.
Lin’s mother also said that they had just been together, and the time they had spent together was too short. After Jing Zhaoxian studied in the first half of the year, if the two still decided to be together, they should make an appointment first, and there is no need to worry about getting married.
This time, Jing Zhao saw that Lin’s mother’s birthday was approaching, so he specially bought some gifts and sent them back, a set of skin care products, and some clothes. By the way, he also bought something for Lin’s father, a razor. It was clothes and shoes. After talking to Lin Hai, because he didn’t have time to go back, he also added some gifts.
“Mom, you can just keep the things, you bought everything, don’t worry, I know what I know, I won’t spend money recklessly, Brother Hai also knows about buying these things, and he personally picked the wine for Dad! ”
Over there, Mother Lin paused for a moment, then sighed and said, “Okay, okay, mom knows, you have been a child with ideas since you were a child, but you have to remember what mom said, mom is someone who has experienced it, listen to mom , will never let you suffer, don’t buy anything next time and send it back, you know? 】
Jing Zhao answered the phone, saying that he knew, the mother and daughter said a few more words, and hung up the phone.
Yu Shiyue listened beside her, because Jing Zhao didn’t avoid her, so she got a rough idea and asked in surprise, “Does your family know about you and your boyfriend?”
Jing Zhao nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, “We told them when we first dated, and we should get engaged during the Chinese New Year.”
“Engaged? So fast!” Yu Shiyue was a little surprised, but since it was something her parents and daughter agreed to, she naturally didn’t need to express any opinions as an outsider.
And think about it, this is actually quite good, you don’t have to secretly fall in love with the family behind your back, just like she is now, if you don’t want to go home on weekends, you have to rack your brains to find a reason, for fear of being discovered by the family, it’s really beeping. .
After finishing her meal, she put the plate in the recycling place. The moment Jing Zhao got up, she suddenly felt an inexplicable heart palpitation. She stopped, bent over and frowned.
Seeing Yu Shiyue at the side, she quickly gave her a hand and took away the crumbling dinner plate from her hand.
“What’s wrong with you? Stomach pain?”
Jing Zhao straightened up, shook his head, “It’s okay, it should be a violent attack.”
“Oh, let’s go!”
In the evening, Jing Zhao looked at the WeChat records in her mobile phone and frowned. She and Lin Hai talked on the phone every night, and they would go to bed after saying good night to each other.
But it’s already eleven o’clock tonight, but Brother Hai hasn’t called her yet, and no one answered his call. Are you still busy?
Jing Zhao stared at the phone for a long time, but before he got a call back, his eyelids gradually lost their hold and fell asleep.
…
Hua County, a small county under City A.
Because of the sudden heavy rain during the day, Lin Hai and his engineering team had to suspend work.
This time the greening project has been basically completed, and they can start the acceptance process after they have passed the self-inspection.
Lin Hai and Shen Zongwei were both on the construction site during the self-inspection during the day, and the heavy rain came quickly and violently, accompanied by strong winds. Lin Hai quickly asked the workers to collect or cover some materials that could not see the water.
Everyone was drenched in the rain, Lin Hai also went to help in order to speed up, it was important to grab materials at this time, even Shen Zongwei did not hide from the rain by himself, but followed the workers.
In the panic, when the worker was packing things on the boom of the tower crane, his foot slipped and he accidentally kicked out a steel bar placed next to him.
The steel bar fell straight down, the height of a ten-storey building, and Shen Zongwei was still standing underneath, the worker only came and screamed “Be careful—”
Shen Zongwei raised his head, seeing the falling steel bars in his eyes, his body froze in place, and was knocked out by a strong force in the next second, and then there was a “clang”.
Shen Zongwei was lying in the mud, his nervously dilated pupils reflected the person in front of him covering his head, shaking twice, and then fell straight down.
Huaxian People’s Hospital, special ward, Shen Zongwei was sitting on a chair in the ward, and because he was not allowed to smoke, his fingers rubbed each other subconsciously.
His eyes looked at the people on the hospital bed, and there were complex emotions in his eyes. The situation was so urgent at that time, he was frightened into a cold sweat, but unexpectedly, he was pushed out by Lin Hai, and he himself was hit by a steel bar Head and left shoulder.
The doctor said that he had an intracranial hematoma and had to be operated on immediately. He was sent to the hospital in the afternoon. Fortunately, the operation went well. After being transferred to a special ward, he was given anesthesia and slept all night before he woke up.
The person is awake, but the spirit is not good, pain, head pain, shoulder pain, even the whole face is full of dense pain, and there seems to be blood in the mouth.
Lin Hai frowned uncomfortably, Shen Zongwei felt so grateful and guilty when he saw him like this.
A big man in his thirties, his eyes were red, he opened his mouth, and his voice was hoarse, “You said that you were so far away at that time, and you ran over to push me, so you are not afraid of being smashed?”
Lin Hai’s head was wrapped in gauze, his lips were as white as his face, lying on the bed, squinting at Shen Zongwei, “Brother, I didn’t think so much at the time, but now I regret it a bit. What’s the matter, what about my girlfriend? I haven’t married her yet.”
Shen Zongwei twitched the corners of his lips, and looked at Lin Hai speechlessly, but the expression on his face was not so serious.
Shen Zongwei also knew that what Lin Hai said was not true or false, but he definitely didn’t want to make him feel too guilty. This kid… oh…
Shen Zongwei really felt that Lin Hai was his noble person, since he met him, every time he could turn danger into good luck.
But apart from this reason, Shen Zongwei also really likes Lin Hai and treats him like his own brother.
“Don’t think about anything first, take good care of your wounds, take care of your body, and I will take care of everything about the project…”
Shen Zongwei said, Lin Hai suddenly said: “Brother, what time is it?”
“Eight in the morning, what’s the matter?” Shen Zongwei looked at his watch and said.
It was still bright outside, Lin Hai thought it was still the day when he was injured, but unexpectedly it was already the next day, when Shen Zongwei said it was eight o’clock in the morning, he was struggling on the hospital bed and was about to get up in an instant.
Shen Zongwei quickly got up and held him down, and shouted anxiously: “Don’t move around! Pay attention to your injuries, just tell me what you want to do!”
“Mobile phone, where’s my mobile phone brother?” Lin Hai asked eagerly.
“It probably fell on the construction site.” Shen Zongwei touched his head, and then said, “Are you going to make a call? My mobile phone is here, use mine.”
Lin Hai was silent for a moment, then took the phone, asked Shen Zongwei to raise himself up, and then flicked the phone with his uninjured right hand.
So, at eight o’clock in the morning, Jing Zhao, who was about to go to class, received a call from Lin Hai.
She didn’t see a call when she got up in the morning, and she already felt something was wrong in her heart, so she called again and still no one answered.
Uneasy, just packing up his things, the phone came in, but it was an unfamiliar number.
Once connected, it was Lin Hai’s voice again.
The moment he heard his voice, Jing Zhao’s grievance came up for some reason.
It was the first time the two had talked on the phone for so long without hearing from him in a day, so now when she heard his voice, she couldn’t help it.
“What did you do? I haven’t heard from you at all all day, and I don’t answer your calls. Do you know that I’m worried about you.”
The person on the opposite side paused before saying: “I’m sorry baby, I went out to have a few drinks with the people in the engineering self-inspection yesterday, I accidentally drank too much, and I forgot to bring my mobile phone, I was drunk all night, and I didn’t call you I’m sorry, I was wrong this time, it’s all my fault, I promise there will never be a next time.”
As Lin Hai said, Shen Zongwei frowned on the side. This kid, who was injured so badly, didn’t want his girlfriend to know that he was fighting alone. It’s really… oh…
Lin Hai talked slowly for a long time, and finally coaxed the people over there, hung up the phone, and heard Shen Zongwei say: “Why are you doing this? You are so hurt, let your girlfriend come and take care of you Is it not good?”
Lin Hai lowered his eyes, his expression and tone were indifferent, “This side is too far away, she will be scared when she comes here alone.” Seeing him hurt like this, he must still cry.
Partial? Anyway, it’s still a county town, how biased it can be, what kind of girlfriend baby is like this? It’s not walking on the mountain road, but I’m worried that people will be afraid!
Shen Zongwei deeply felt that he was old and couldn’t understand Lin Hai’s mood at all, but this was Lin Hai’s private matter, and he couldn’t say too much, so he could only let him go.
Anyway, with or without his girlfriend, he will take care of him properly.
“Are you hungry? Take a rest first, and I’ll buy you some light meals.”
“Well, thank you brother.” Lin Hai closed his eyes and replied weakly.
“Thank you, if you thank me, then I should kneel down and kowtow to you…”
On the other hand, after Jing Zhao hung up the phone, he felt that something was wrong. Lin Hai’s voice was not right, and his words were not right.
She didn’t believe that he was the kind of person who got drunk outside and then forgot to tell her.
Also, his voice didn’t sound like he was hoarse after drinking, but rather weak, as if he was enduring some feeling.
The more Jing Zhao thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he followed that phone number and dialed it again…
*
From City A to Hua County, because the county seat is relatively remote, it takes three hours by car.
After Jing Zhao hung up the phone, he asked Yu Shiyue to ask for leave for him, and then left the school by car and went to the station.
There is no train to take to the county town, so I can only take the bus. I waited at the station for a while before the car started. The journey was bumpy, and it was almost twelve o’clock when I arrived at the Huaxian bus station.
The bus was too slow, Jing Zhao took a taxi directly to Huaxian People’s Hospital, asked the ward number, and went straight there.
The door of the ward was closed, and just as Jing Zhao was about to knock on the door, the door was pushed open from the inside.
It was almost time for lunch, and Shen Zongwei was going out to buy lunch for Lin Hai, and he would also hire a nurse by the way.
The project is about to be inspected and accepted. There is no one in charge in the team, and he can’t stay here forever. He must hire a nurse to take good care of him.
Just told Lin Hai, this kid still wants to refuse, saying he can do it! Heads are broken! The hands are still hanging! How can I do that!
Shen Zongwei thought, as soon as he opened the door and went out, he saw a beautiful little girl like a fairy standing at the door, wearing a simple taupe-colored dress, her black hair was all **** on the top of her head, and she was tied into a ball, which was a bit messy. A few strands hang down the side of the face, the eyes look like they have been washed with water, and the eye sockets are still red, it looks like it makes me feel pity.
Shen Zongwei was stunned for a moment, and his rough voice subconsciously softened, “Little girl, who are you looking for?”
Jing Zhao heard the voice and asked, “Are you Uncle Shen Zongwei? I’m looking for Lin Hai. I’m his girlfriend.”
After a while, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Lin Hai lay on the bed with his eyes closed and did not open them. Shen Zongwei put the bought food on the table beside him and said: “There is still something to do in the team, so I will go back first and find a nurse for you, let her take care of you what!”
Lin Hai opened his eyes, his gaze was slightly slanted, and he only saw Shen Zongwei and a lotus-colored dress behind him.
He frowned a little irritably, and said in a slightly cold voice, “Brother, I really don’t need it. My legs are fine and I can walk on my own without anyone taking care of me. Let her go back!”
The corner of Shen Zongwei’s mouth turned up, and for the first time, he didn’t persuade him, but turned his head and said to the people behind him: “That’s it, Xiaojing, he doesn’t want you, why don’t I find another employer for you?”
Jing Zhao didn’t speak, but walked slowly to the bed, looked at the man wrapped in bandages on the bed, his eyes were red, and he whispered, “Brother Hai…”
Lin Hai opened his eyes instantly, seeing the person in front of him, he couldn’t believe it for a moment.
Seeing this, Shen Zongwei leaned over and said with a smile, “I really don’t want it? Then I will take it away?”
Lin Hai glanced at him, then turned his eyes back to Jing Zhao, his black eyes were full of light, he grabbed her fingers with his uninjured hand, and said in a hoarse voice, “Yes, don’t go.”
