Chapter 27 The Redemption of the Isolated Island

In the spring of her senior year, a sudden "SARS" swept across the country, and several densely populated cities became hardest hit areas, and Su Yunjin's city was no exception.The ever-increasing number of patients and the shadow of death make people panic, and human beings are extremely vulnerable in the face of natural disasters and diseases.

Schools are not islands of safety.Ever since a sophomore girl in Su Yunjin's school went out to visit relatives and returned to school with a high fever, she was sent to the hospital and diagnosed as a SARS infected person, and the whole school fell into panic.Immediately afterwards, several students were quarantined one after another because they had fever symptoms, and the restless atmosphere reached its peak.

The school has adopted a series of emergency measures, strictly restricting the students to go out, sending special personnel to check the wards every day, spraying disinfectant in the dormitory area, and checking the body temperature, but it still fails to restrain the panic of the teachers and students in the school, and various rumors come and go.Su Yunjin's roommate in the lower bunk was sent to the school infirmary for isolation and observation because she had close contact with the girl who was diagnosed with the disease.There are only five people left in the six-person dormitory. Except for Su Yunjin, the four girls are all nervously holding their phones—the only tool to communicate with the outside world—calling non-stop.Their respective parents, relatives, friends, and lovers also called to ask for their health.

Su Yunjin is not completely free from anxiety, but she doesn't have many friends and relatives who are in constant contact with her. The only person she cares about is her mother.At this time, my mother must be very anxious. When I heard that she had a cold in the past, she wanted to make several phone calls a day.However, during this period of time, there has never been a call from Su Yunjin.She didn't have a mobile phone, so she suspected that the phone in the dormitory was always busy, and her mother couldn't get in. She finally found a chance when the phone was idle and dialed her mother's "over there" number, but no one answered several times in a row.Su Yunjin was both worried and puzzled.My mother has become a full-time housewife after marriage, there is no reason why she is always away from home, even if something happens, she should be told.At this time, she was frustrated to find that she did not have "uncle"'s mobile phone number, so she could only worry.

Faced with great anxiety and loss, Su Yunjin called Mo Yuhua again, and her roommate actually told Su Yunjin that Mo Yuhua came back from Shanghai a while ago and developed symptoms of coughing and low-grade fever, just to be on the safe side They were also sent to the affiliated hospital of their school.This is also one of the things that Su Yunjin can't figure out - Mo Yuhua's schoolwork is very heavy, and she is always very busy. Although she won a generous scholarship last semester, she has never heard that she has any plans to travel.What did she go to Shanghai for, she didn't have any relatives there, what's more, she went back and forth silently, even Su Yunjin didn't tell her.

Su Yunjin has never felt so lonely and helpless.Every night, the dormitory phone rang again and again. Whenever her roommate picked it up, she held her breath, hoping that the person called to answer the phone was herself. Every time, she ended up disappointed. Could it be that even her mother forgot she?

She lives peacefully on weekdays, unable to see the difference between herself and others. Only at this time did she realize how pathetic she is.No one cared about her, and she didn't know who to care about. It was like standing on an isolated island, surrounded by a boundless ocean, with huge waves coming one after another, and she couldn't see the direction of the shore.She thinks she is strong and rarely sentimental, but before going to bed, she heard a roommate complaining to her boyfriend on the phone softly that her parents called her every day to force her to drink Banlangen. It hurts to choke.

Those intimate complaints were tantamount to torture for Su Yunjin at this time. After finally waiting for her roommate to hang up the phone, she was about to fall asleep with sore eyes when the harsh phone rang again, and someone answered it impatiently. , Shouted: "Yunjin, yours."

Su Yun Jinfei also seemed to get out of bed, picked up the phone, and couldn't wait to call out "Mom", but heard a voice that she couldn't even imagine in her dreams.

Cheng Zheng complained in a hasty tone, "What kind of rotten phone is your dormitory, the battery is almost exhausted before you can call in. Hey, Su Yunjin, are you listening?"

"Hmm." Su Yunjin pressed the microphone tightly to her face, not realizing that her eyes were already wet.

"I'm fine, I just want to ask you if you're okay... I've called many people like this, it's nothing else... You talk... What's the matter, won't you cry? Don't worry, Why are you crying... don't scare me, can you, Su Yunjin, I'm so worried." His voice became anxious.

Su Yunjin didn't know why she became so weak the moment she heard his voice, sobbing, letting the receiver get wet with tears, she could only speak one sentence, "Cheng Zheng..."

Now he was her driftwood, her salvation.

"What's going on? Hey... Hey..." There was a loud electrical sound, and Su Yunjin vaguely heard Cheng Zheng cursed and said something. She couldn't hear it clearly, and heard it before she had time to ask. Busy tone for disconnection.She hurriedly dialed back, and at the same time she was surprised that after such a long time, she was able to smoothly dial the mobile phone number that he had never called since he gave it to her.

The mechanical and standard female voice on the other end of the phone spoke alternately in Chinese and English: "Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

After waking up the next morning, the first thing Su Yunjin did was dial the number last night. She didn't even think about what she would say after dialing, but she had to hear his voice based on her intuition.This time there was a shutdown prompt.

She attended two classes in a restless state. After ten o'clock, when she had no class, she went to the computer room of the library to input some data into the computer.Half an hour later, the administrator teacher passed by, glanced inadvertently, and asked, "Yun Jin, are you feeling unwell? This "Hu Shi's Oral Autobiography" costs 21 yuan, not [-] yuan."

"Oh, sorry, I'll change it right away."

After a while, the teacher said with a strange expression: "Are you sure you don't need to go back to rest? You changed it to 12 yuan."

Su Yunjin is the most thoughtful and conscientious student among the work-study students in the library, so the administrators are very relieved to entrust her with the work, but her performance today is obviously as if her soul has not returned to her place.

Su Yunjin corrected again with a red face, at this time another administrator walked into the computer room and said in surprise: "Hey, Yunjin, are you still here? Didn't you just hear that someone is looking for you at the school gate?"

"Looking for me?" Su Yunjin was stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, she suddenly stood up from the computer, and said, "Thank you, teacher!" She was already outside.The remaining two librarians looked at each other, "This kid is not usually so reckless."

It is not a short distance from the library to the gate of the school. Su Yunjin ran to the closed iron gate, panting so hard that she couldn't straighten up. She put one hand on her knees, and the other hand grabbed the iron bars of the iron gate and looked out. Sure enough, she saw Fengchen The servant Cheng Zheng.

When he saw her appear, he was visibly relieved, put his hand on the iron door, frowned, and the first thing he said was, "Why were you crying last night?"

Su Yunjin patted her chest with her hands to calm her breathing, and said a few words with difficulty, "You madman."

The two people facing each other across the fence caused the old man at the door to shake his head. He avoided the expectant eyes of the two young people, waved his hands and said, "Don't look at me, the school has already issued a notice, and no one can enter without a pass."

During the closure of the school, each department has several emergency passes, which are in the hands of the head of the department. Don't even think about it unless there are special circumstances.In desperation, Su Yunjin went to the leader of the library, trying hard to get a pass.She has been working in the library for more than three years, and she has never been lazy for a moment. The administrators and leaders are watching her.

The deputy curator is a woman in her forties. She is a little curious about how the usually quiet female students want to leave school at this time like a demon.

Su Yunjin lowered her head and thought for a while, then blushed and replied that her boyfriend came here from Beijing overnight just to see her.

The expressions of the children are always touching, the deputy curator laughed, and Su Yunjin got the passport she longed for in anxiety.

"Go, but don't forget that this pass is only valid from 7:30 am to 22:00 pm every day. If you don't return after the time limit, it will be regarded as a serious violation of school regulations. Don't say I didn't remind you." The deputy curator Tell Su Yunjin who is full of joy.

"I see."

When Su Yunjin walked out of the school gate, she wished she could put her wings on her back, but when she actually walked in front of Cheng Zheng, she didn't seem to know what to say for a while, and both of them were a little cautious.

Cheng Zheng complained first, "You don't know how miserable I am. Last night, in order to catch the last flight, I almost broke my leg." Su Yunjin said, "You seem to be used to running over without saying hello."

Cheng Zheng couldn't help screaming, "Didn't I say on the phone that I was coming over? If you didn't object, I'll assume you agreed."

Su Yunjin recalled it, it must be because of the signal failure last night that she did not hear the last sentence.

"You were crying so terribly, it scared me a lot." Cheng Zheng asked, "You still haven't said why you cried last night? Who bullied you? Did you quarrel with...boyfriend?"

Su Yunjin couldn't hear the tentativeness in his words, and said angrily, "I'm afraid no one will bully me except you." Seeing Cheng Zheng's embarrassment, she added, "If you really quarrel with your boyfriend, you What can I do to help?"

Cheng Zheng was at a loss for words, pulled the shoulder straps on his backpack, lowered his head and said, "I just returned to Beijing from Yunnan yesterday, and suddenly I really wanted to hear your voice. A call. Since you're fine, I'll go back

Alright, there's still a lot to do at school... I'm really leaving. "

"It's nothing." Su Yunjin whispered.

Cheng Zheng was angry, turned around sullenly, and wanted to leave, "You said that." He dragged his feet for a few steps, but before he heard her keep him, he turned his head angrily, only to see her standing there motionless.

"Will you die if you leave me?"

"You shouldn't have come."

"Okay, you really haven't changed much, you don't have any human feelings at all, thanks to my worrying about you so much, I always think about you..." Cheng Zheng said, feeling a little awkward, coughing a few times before he adjusted, "I never After you went home, you were very angry. It seemed that what you did for you before was very stupid. I planned to ignore you again. You are clean, and I am relieved. However, you are so cruel, and you have never contacted me. .”

Su Yunjin said: "You are planning to ignore me anymore, why do you still want me to contact you?"

"You... count me as a waste of time." He shook his face and left.

"Where are you going?" Su Yunjin stopped him, "The airport and train station are crowded places now, so I said you shouldn't go out at such a dangerous time. Now that everyone has come, why go there again Muddy waters out there. If you’re not in a rush to get back to school, wait a few days until the limelight dies down.”

"Then you have to accompany me." The unhappiness on Cheng Zheng's face was swept away, revealing his white teeth.

Su Yunjin shook the pass in her hand, "It's not easy to get this thing. But it's agreed, I have to come back before the gate is closed."

"no problem."

Seeing Cheng Zheng's happy smile, Su Yunjin's heart felt warm, and she said softly, "Thank you, Cheng Zheng."

"What?" Cheng Zheng was a little confused.

"Thank you for coming to see me...Actually, I'm very happy."

Walking into Cheng Zheng's small apartment again, Su Yunjin couldn't help but think of what happened to the two of them at the same place last time, and felt an indescribably weird feeling.Seeing that she deliberately avoided the sofa last time and sat in another corner, Cheng Zheng also knew it.The scene of the two bodies touching each other that day flashed in his mind like a movie. Although the movie had been replayed countless times in the past year, he still felt hot inside, but he dared to act rashly and turned on the TV. Sit honestly on the sofa.

This time Cheng Zheng finally admitted that this is not an idle house of his relatives, but a unit reserved by his mother and uncle in the real estate developed by his company. Last time he asked someone to get the key, he never returned it, and there was someone at the property. Come to do cleaning regularly, so the house is still clean.

The noisy TV sound relieved a lot of the embarrassment in the small space. Su Yunjin changed several channels, and the news on each channel almost focused on the situation of "SARS". There were reports that the white vinegar was sold out, and relevant scrolling messages continued to be displayed at the bottom of the screen.Su Yunjin looked at it, then suddenly straightened her back and stared at the screen, only to see a message appearing repeatedly at the bottom of the screen. A male migrant worker with a high fever and unconsciousness was sent to the hospital for treatment. After being diagnosed by experts, he was confirmed to be a SARS patient in the onset stage. Because the man deliberately concealed his physical condition and stayed in the closed compartment for more than 16 hours It is very likely that the virus will be transmitted to the passengers in the same compartment and those who have been in contact with him, so the relevant departments have called on the rest of the passengers in the compartment to go to the hospital for examination through media such as television.

"Cheng Zheng!" Su Yunjin called him, but no one answered, and turned around to find that he was leaning on the sofa and fell asleep, presumably because he hurried on the road last night and didn't close his eyes properly all night.She didn't want to wake him up, but she thought that the matter was so important that she couldn't sit still without asking, so she shook his shoulder.

As soon as she moved her hand, Cheng Zheng's body tilted, and he just rested his head on her lap.

At this time, Su Yunjin also ignored his little thought of taking advantage all the time, and continued to pat him awake, "Don't pretend, let me ask you, you said that you just returned to Beijing from Yunnan yesterday, did you fly back?"

Cheng Zheng was in a daze, seeing that she didn't order him to get up forcefully, he continued to lean on her lap, "Why, we are really afraid of death, why would we fly, and the school will never approve so much funding .We came back by train, almost forty hours, and almost smothered me."

"Is it the car I got on in Kunming the day before yesterday? K × × times?"

"Hey, how do you know?" Cheng Zheng turned his body around and looked at her.

A chill ran up Su Yunjin's back, and even her voice began to float, "What car number are you in?"

Cheng Zheng enjoyed the novelty of seeing her from this angle, while casually recalling, "Hmm...it seems to be carriage No. 14. Why are you asking this?"

He had just finished speaking when he found Su Yunjin's hand on his forehead.Is this her unique way of caressing?Cheng Zheng was flattered and wanted to close his eyes, but he heard her panicked voice, "Why is your head so hot?"

Cheng Zheng couldn't say it, because he was dreaming just now, and his mind was full of unsuitable thoughts for children, so it would be strange if he didn't get hot.

"No, it's just your illusion."

Su Yunjin ignored his words, touched the temperature of her forehead with her backhand, and put her hand on his body again, it was still hot.Cheng Zheng grabbed her cold hand and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

Su Yunjin shook off his unruly hand vigorously, and her voice changed in anxiety, "Do you know that a SARS patient at the onset period was found in the No. 16 car of the same train as you. No, hurry up and drive!"

"A SARS patient?" Cheng Zheng was stunned, and then his face darkened, "Are you afraid that I will infect you?"

Su Yunjin pushed him with both hands, but he was helpless as if glued to his leg, and beat his shoulder in desperation, "You... I just told you that you are a lunatic! Is there a thermometer here? Do you have one these days? No cough, headache, or other discomfort?"

Seeing that he just shook his head, she struggled to move her legs to force him to get up, "We'll go to the hospital right away."

"I'm not in the same car as that person. How can it be so easy to contagious? I'm in good health. Don't go, you watch TV with me!"

"You have no sense of proportion. If something happens, you might die, do you know?" Su Yunjin's eyes watered with anxiety.

Cheng Zheng lay looking up at her, then suddenly turned around and hugged her waist, "You're worried about me."

"I don't care what you like, but don't let anything happen under my nose." Su Yunjin turned her head and wiped the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand.

"You're just worried about me." Cheng Zheng said confidently, and then put his head on her lower abdomen, "Su Yunjin, I don't say those nasty things like Shen Juan. This time I went to collect wind with my mentor, and ran a few times There are several places in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Xiangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou that are really beautiful, and the integration of architecture and nature becomes spiritual. I was thinking at that time, if you watch such a good thing with me, you should How nice. I don't want you to stand on tiptoe to look at me, but to share with me... It doesn't matter if you love yourself more, you continue to love yourself, I love you... Isn't it more cost-effective?" He After finishing speaking, she went to secretly watch her reaction. Su Yunjin's face sank like water, and after a while, she continued: "After finishing speaking, get up and go to the hospital."

Cheng Zheng groaned, in the future, if anyone wants to say that he is not romantic, he wants to see who can be romantic in front of an elm bump.

Su Yunjin really couldn't resist, Cheng Zheng was led out of the door by her and went straight to the hospital.After being admitted to the hospital, he obediently underwent an examination. The doctor believed that he did have symptoms of a low-grade fever, and he took the same train with the patient, and immediately asked him to stay in the hospital for observation.

When Cheng Zheng heard that he would be quarantined for at least seven days, he immediately became anxious. "Don't be so exaggerated, right? 37 degrees and seven will be hospitalized for observation... No, I have something else to do. Su Yunjin!"

"Shut up and listen to the doctor." Su Yunjin said.

"When I come out, you won't be ruthless again."

She didn't seem to hear him, and only focused on asking the doctor what procedures needed to be done.The doctor also took her temperature. Although everything was normal, since she had been in close contact with Cheng Zheng, she was asked to pay close attention to her physical condition after returning home, and report to the hospital immediately if she felt unwell.

Before Su Yunjin left, Cheng Zheng asked, "Will you pick me up from the hospital?"

The nurse next to him laughed. He looked like a child who was sent to kindergarten on the first day.Su Yunjin shook her head and walked a few steps, but she couldn't help but twitch her mouth.
