Chapter 162 161 If there is no him in this world
After dinner, Shen Lan only stayed in the study for less than an hour.Before Xu Guowei returned from socializing, she finished her work for the day and left Xu Zhe's home.

Of course, he left with Xu Zhe.

The girl tried her best to convince herself not to pay attention to Aunt Zeng Jing's eyes and focus on the boy next to her.

Under the streetlight, the two people's figures were stretched very long.

Shen Lan suddenly said: "I found out after four months of absence. You have grown taller again. It's obvious."

Xu Zhe: "It's pretty good. The third grader should be able to pass 1.7 meters."

"He is as tall as me now. It won't be long before he will be taller than me. It's a pity."

Although she said 'what a pity', the smile on the girl's face clearly meant something else.

Xu Zhe analyzed seriously: "Now I ensure the quality of sleep every day, ensure the sleep time, eat a nutritious diet, and do a lot of outdoor exercise every week. If this situation still makes me unable to grow taller, it would be an injustice."

Shen Lan: "Then how much do you think it should grow to be in the future?"

Xu Zhe: "Whatever, I don't have the final say on this matter. If you ask me to say how many numbers will be in the bank account in the future, I will be more confident."

Shen Lan: "So, what is the next digit of the bank account?"

Xu Zhe wants to say at least nine figures, after all, a small goal can reach nine figures.But as the words rolled around his lips, he swallowed them back.

He shook his head: "There's actually nothing to say about this. The money is just incidental. The point is to create something."

Shen Lan smiled and asked, "Is this your outlook on life?"

Xu Zhe: "Yes, you can't come to this world in vain."

Under the streetlight, Shen Lan stared at the young man's profile and said softly: "I feel the same way."

----

After being sent home by Xu Zhe, Shen Lan went to bed.

Perhaps it was because today was particularly fulfilling and exhausting, or perhaps because of the complicated emotions of joy and worry that made her have a different dream.

There was no Xu Zhe in this dream.

Shen Lan still experienced the incident of money being stolen from her billiards hall.Without the boy's protection, she was beaten with a stick.The injury was not serious, but the encounter left a psychological shadow, which led to abnormal performance in subsequent mathematics competitions.

Of course, even if she did not perform well in the competition, her excellent results in the high school entrance examination still allowed her to enter the provincial key high school, that is, the experimental middle school.

She stopped competing in high school.Although he gradually lost his pride in looking down on the top students of his peers, his extraordinary intelligence was still there after all, and at least he was still one of the top students in a key high school.After passing the college entrance examination, she went to a pretty good key university.

Clinical Medicine.

It was easier for others to go to college, but Shen Lan and her classmates in the same major only found it more difficult.Moreover, during the depressing five years of undergraduate studies, she gradually realized that if she did not want to waste all her efforts and really wanted to become a doctor, then a bachelor's degree alone was simply not enough.

She studied for a master's degree, and then a doctorate... The long and lonely road to study made her already withdrawn temperament become colder and colder, and she became more and more lonely.

When the journey of studying finally comes to an end and you walk into the hospital with a brilliant academic qualification, the hard work is not over, but a new beginning.

The seniors who are 20 years older lead an enviable life, with not only decent status but also generous income.

But young doctors like Shen Lan are completely different.Starting from regular training, her meager income, long-term overtime work, and irregular life schedule made her often feel that she was more unhealthy than the patients who came to see her.

She often doubted her life choices, but there was one thing she was convinced of.

That is to say, I am afraid that I will die alone.

Although she has dark circles under her eyes and is losing her hair, Shen Lan's appearance is still eye-catching among female doctors.But after reaching her thirties, she became increasingly intolerable to mediocre communication and meaningless nonsense.However, she discovered that almost every conversation started and ended with nonsense, which made her deeply impatient.

She was also invited on blind dates by her elders and friends, but no one could get her a second date.Life has become extremely dull, monotonous, and boring... Fortunately, she can still find a little fun in her work, but only a little.

This kind of life has no end in sight.When cement sealed her heart, Shen Lan woke up from her dream.

In the lonely dark night, she sat up and gasped for air.

I was in a daze for a while before I remembered who I was.

Shen Lan quickly got out of bed, ran to the bathroom, turned on the light, and faced the mirror.

In the mirror is a young girl with short hair.Although my eyes are a bit short-sighted and everything in my field of vision is a bit blurry, as long as I get closer, I can clearly see the face in the mirror. It is delicate, with the greenness of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old, and the years have not yet carved any traces, and there are endless things. possibility.

"Huh...why do you have such a dream?"

Shen Lan murmured to herself.

Looking back at it now, it seems that this dream did not last too long, but it spanned quite a long time.In the dream, she did not actually go through the exams. The long learning process just flashed through many fragments, and each fragment contained similar emotions.

Depressed, tired, lonely, and boring.

In her dream, she seemed to have doubted whether the major she studied was really suitable for her.After all, she had no ambition to treat illnesses and save people since she was a child. She only listened to the teacher's guidance and read the application guide. Everyone seemed to say that it was better to study medicine. Doctors have a high status, professional barriers, and a stable job...

But it shouldn't suit you.

Everyone has different personalities, interests, talents, and different suitable paths.In youth, it is not enough to just think about doing better than others in academic performance. You should also think about what kind of life you want to choose.

Shen Lan was suddenly very happy that she had met that person and was brought into the door of programming by him.Rather than thinking about where to cut with the scalpel, she feels that using code to build logic is more suitable for her.

What's more, if I have that person, my future will not be so boring and lonely...

Shen Lan quickly returned to the bedroom, sat down by the bed, and picked up the phone.

She suddenly wanted to make a phone call.It seems that only by hearing that person's voice can he prove that he has truly escaped from that long and lonely dream, and can he grasp the colorful life again.

So, she dialed out.

After waiting for nearly half a minute, the other party answered the phone.

Xu Zhe's angry voice sounded on the phone: "You woke me up at four in the morning. You don't want me to grow taller, right?"

Being woken up at this time would make anyone angry.But Shen Lan just wanted to be willful this time because she had something to say.

"I'm sorry, but... thank you."

Xu Zhe was confused: "Thank you for what?"

Shen Lan: "I have a lot to thank you for. Because I was dreaming about you just now."

This is a lie, but Shen Lan feels that it is not a lie in a certain sense.Because the dream just now became like that because he was not there.He was not in the dream, but he was everywhere around the dream.

Xu Zhe was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't dream. I slept soundly."

Shen Lan: "I'm sorry...should I find a way to compensate you tomorrow?"

Xu Zhe: "How are you going to compensate me?"
