Growing up is not an exciting thing to do.

To be an adult means to lose.

Ji Shu never thought that one day, he would be forced to grow up because of loving someone.

In the second year of high school, Ji Shu took the science class, Lu Xiao also went to the science class, and Gao Hao and the others went to the liberal arts class.

Classes were divided, some walked and some more in one class, Lu Xiao sat with Ji Shu as he wished.He is still the same as before, dozing off in class, copying homework to find good grades, he looks handsome, and the girls in the class are especially willing to donate their homework.

He asked Ji Shu if he wanted it. Ji Shu shook his head, gripped the black fountain pen tightly, rested his chin on the cap of the pen, frowned and said, "I want to make it myself."

Lu Xiao caught a glimpse of the scribbles on his draft paper, and saw that he lowered his head, the back of his neck was white, and the sides of his cheeks were slightly tensed. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his face was even smaller.

The autumn wind blew through the dead leaves and swirled them down. It was a drowsy autumn afternoon.Lu Xiao was lying on the table. The physics teacher was talking about some laws, but he couldn't quite understand it. He closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and soon fell asleep.

When he woke up, a hazy autumn rain covered the campus. Lu Xiao propped her chin and looked out the window, smelling the smell of puberty and soil mixed together.He reached out and touched Ji Shu's back lightly, and Ji Shu was also lying on his stomach. Lu Xiao said behind him, "Ji Shu, it's raining outside, and the physical education class will definitely become a self-study later."

Ji Shu didn't respond, Lu Xiao felt strange, stood up, walked around to Ji Shu, lowered her head and asked, "Are you asleep?"

He pushed Ji Shu's shoulder, there was no flesh there, the bones of the two shoulders protruded, the autumn school uniform was loosely stretched, and the two shoulder blades were particularly obvious.Ji Shu still didn't wake up, lying on his stomach without saying a word, Lu Xiao frowned, and just about to speak, saw Ji Shu's body fall to one side, and when he was about to fall to the ground, Lu Xiao caught him.

He hugged Ji Shu and touched his skin, startled by the high body temperature.Ji Shu was unconscious in his arms, his face was covered with cold sweat, his lips were pale, even when Lu Xiao called his name, he didn't respond.

There was a commotion in the classroom, and several students surrounded her. Lu Xiao yelled loudly to get out of the way, and ran out with Ji Shu in her arms.

It was raining all the way, so he took off his shirt and put it on Ji Shu's body. The cold rain penetrated into his body, Lu Xiao shivered and ran towards the infirmary.

Tang Chen took away the Kindle, lifted the lid of the instant noodles, and the hot air hit the noodles. He smelled the aroma of fresh shrimp noodles and smiled with satisfaction.Holding the fork, just about to take his first bite, there was a loud "bang" from the door of the infirmary, and he opened his mouth and looked towards the door.

Lu Xiao was shirtless, holding Ji Shu, panting heavily, her eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry. He said, "Teacher Tang, Ji Shu seems to have a fever, and he can't wake up no matter what."

Tang Chen asked Lu Xiao to put Ji Shu on the bed. He glanced at Lu Xiao and asked him to put on his clothes first.

Lu Xiao grabbed the jacket that Tang Chen threw over, and put his hands on it intertwined. He heard Tang Chen say, "He has a fever, 39 degrees and seven, and he has to be sent to the hospital. I'll drive. You go back to class first."

Tang Chen bent down and hugged Ji Shu, and then put it down quickly. He called Lu Xiao to stop, "Don't go yet, carry him into the car for me."

Lu Xiao looked over and saw Teacher Tang holding his arms. His body in a white coat was like a piece of paper. He said, "I can't hold him."

He thought, in the past, he could be hugged, and the body of a child was soft and young, like a young chicken, but now it is incomparable to then.

Tang Chen sent Ji Shu to the hospital. He was weak, and due to physical reasons, he was easily sick when he was cold and tired.Fortunately, I went to the doctor in time this time, but it was just a common fever. If it was later, it might become pneumonia.

After the infusion, Ji Shu woke up slowly. Tang Chen looked down at him, and the first sentence was, "You owe me a bucket of instant noodles."

Ji Shu was at a loss, Tang Chen looked at his stupid look, and raised the corners of his mouth.Ji Shu felt his throat was dry and sore, he opened his mouth and his voice was hoarse, "Teacher, what's wrong with me?"

"You have a high fever, and everyone fainted from the fever, why don't you say anything?"

Ji Shushu was under the quilt, looking like a small one, he asked in a low voice, "How long will I be in the hospital? I want to go back to class."

"How did you become so studious?"

Tang Chen poured a glass of water, inserted a straw, and handed the straw to Ji Shu's mouth.Ji Shu drank a few sips, and his throat improved a little. He asked back, "Teacher, is there a time when you really want to change yourself?"

Tomson blurted out, "Every moment."

Ji Shu stopped drinking water, shook his head, and Tang Chen put the cup on the bedside table.Ji Shu stared at the liquid in the infusion tube, the childlike innocence on his face seemed to be squeezed away by another emotion, Tang Chen heard him say: "Teacher, I want to grow up quickly and become good enough, Then go and pursue what you love...life."

The rain has stopped, but the sky is still overcast, as it is when winter is about to enter, and the weather is normal for a few days.The lights were turned on in the ward, and Tang Chen pulled up the curtain to block the sight of the patients on the side beds. They were wrapped in light colors.

Tomson asked him in a low voice: "Do you have someone you like?"

Ji Shu opened his eyes wide, and clenched his fists with his hands hidden under the quilt. Before he could speak, Tang Chen continued: "It doesn't matter who you like, this person can make you realize that you need to be outstanding. This one Things are not bad. Ji Shu put these aside and talk about yourself, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Ji Shu pursed his lips, he was thinking for a long time, Tang Chen pulled up a chair and sat down.Ji Shu thought that when he was in Kenya, he and Ji Yuedong went to a relatively remote local tribe. The medical environment there was not good. There were only two doctors who came to support them, and they would leave when the time came.

After receiving Tang Chen's call, Ji Yuedong, who left the meeting and rushed over, got off the car at the hospital and ran all the way to Ji Shu's ward.He stood in front of the door panting, opened the door and walked in after calming down.

He heard Tang Chen's voice, and he walked to the bed by the window, through the light-colored curtain, he heard Ji Shu say: "I know this will be very tiring, and it's not realistic, but I want to be a doctor .”

"It will be very painful."

"I'm not afraid. I've been studying hard recently. I'm not very smart, so I can only read more. I didn't go to bed until three o'clock yesterday." Ji Shu's voice weakened, and he was silent for a few seconds, becoming more serious than before. Hoarse, he said: "I don't want to be underestimated, I don't want to be said again, you are too young, you don't understand anything, you are not qualified."

Ji Yuedong, who was separated by a curtain, stared blankly at the shadow slightly revealed on the curtain, he opened his mouth silently, his upper and lower lips pressed together for a second, and said three words in succession, he said, "I don't."

Ji Yuedong wanted to hug the lamb curled up on that bed, and tell him not to underestimate himself.

Ji Shu is like suddenly cutting off a lamp in Ji Yuedong's scribbled life. He is a rose, the best and most beautiful rose Ji Yuedong has ever seen. He makes Ji Yuedong's spring come early, but Like wildfire could burn him down.

Ji Shu will never understand how heavy a responsibility an adult bears.Ji Yuedong will never be able to cross the boundary, like the love between lovers, he cannot satisfy Ji Shu.

He left quietly, Tang Chen glanced at him from the corner of his eye, lowered his head and smiled mockingly.

Ji Shu was really tired. After saying a few words, he fell asleep again.When he woke up, it was already night, and the few bottles of intravenous drip were hung up. The nurse came and pulled out the needle, and took his temperature again. The temperature had dropped.

Lu Xiao came to see him after school, and asked Ji Shu what he wanted to eat before coming. Ji Shu told him on the phone, "I want to drink milk tea, and I want the kind of milk tea that is rich in sugar, very sweet."

Lu Xiao bought two cups of milk tea, added a lot of pudding and oatmeal, took a sip, and then drank sweet porridge.Ji Shu bit the straw, the polysaccharide milk tea came into his mouth, and the wisdom teeth inside were hurting again.

"Seeing how eager you are to study recently, here, here are your absent class notes." Lu Xiao took out the notebook from her schoolbag, and Ji Shu took it.Lu Xiao's handwriting is like him, every stroke seems to be flying.

Ji Shu said thank you, Lu Xiao grabbed her hair, her earlobe was reddish, and said, "Can you understand? I haven't written notes for a long time."

"Understandable, very clear."

"That's good." Lu Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, his bed shook a little, Ji Shu didn't have to raise his head to talk to him, and he relaxed.Lu Xiao sat beside him, next to Ji Shu's shoulder, and picked up Ji Shu's hand, which was marked by a needle.

"When will you be discharged from the hospital?" Lu Xiao asked him.

Ji Shu retracted his hand, he shook his head, and asked Lu Xiao, "Where is Teacher Tang?"

"He just left. He said that there are still lumps of instant noodles in the infirmary, and it will stink if he doesn't go back."

Ji Shu said "hmm", he hesitated and asked, "Do you know who else is here?"

Lu Xiao shook her head, "I just arrived too, but there should be no one, and I didn't hear the nurse mention it."

Ji Shu's eyelids were half closed, and his eyelashes cast a small dark shadow. He said, "I think I'll be discharged from the hospital now."

"Now?" "I've had a fever." Ji Shu grabbed the quilt, his knuckles turned white, and he looked at Lu Xiao, "I really want to go home."

Ji Shu's limbs were still weak, and he looked like he was about to fall after walking a few steps.A patient in the next bed saw him like this, and said, "Little friend, you are not in good health, where are you going?" Lu Xiao took Ji Shu's shoulders and answered for him, "Go to the bathroom."

"Bathroom? Isn't it in the room?" The man looked confused and watched the two half-grown boys go out.

Lu Xiao supported Ji Shu and walked for a while. Ji Shu's face was covered with sweat and his hands were cold. He shook his pale lips and couldn't stand on his legs at all.Lu Xiao sighed, he took a few steps forward and squatted down, turned his head and said to Ji Shu, "Come up, I'll carry you on my back."

Ji Shu lay on his back, which was not considered broad. Ji Shu closed his eyes and whispered behind his ear, "I'm sorry."

"Don't tell me, I'm sorry."

Lu Xiao walked out with him on her back, hiding in the dark night, following the planetary orbit in Ji Shu's heart, towards the light source that could give him strength.

The taxi stopped at the door, and Lu Xiao helped him down.There was no light in the house, and it was pitch black from the window. Lu Xiao sent him to the door and opened it. Ji Shu stood in the dark doorway, as if about to be swallowed.

"There's no one in your house."

"I'll be back later, he's always been busy with work." Ji Shu lowered his head and looked at the toes of his shoes, "I'll wait every time, and I'll feel at ease when I hear the sound of the car when he comes back. "Lu Xiao sighed silently in his heart, and he handed the backpack to Ji Shu, "This is medicine, you take another pill before going to bed, and then drink more water, we sneaked out, and we still have to go to the hospital tomorrow. "

"Okay." Ji Shu took the bag, raised his head, looked at Lu Xiao, and thanked him.

After Lu Xiao left, Ji Shu returned to the living room and turned on a floor lamp.

He hugged the blanket to the sofa, lay down on it, and turned on the notebook Lu Xiao gave him with the light on.

While reading the question, he waited for Ji Yuedong to come back.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard the sound of a car, and the garage door seemed to open. Ji Shu stood up, holding the blanket and notebook in his arms, and stumbled upstairs.

He leaned on the wall, gasping for breath, lying on the handrail of the spiral staircase, looking down at Ji Yuedong who came in from the outside.

Just to take a look, only to take a look, he turned around and hid quietly in the room.

Ji Yuedong stared at the small lamp, he frowned and took a deep breath.
