Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

Ding... Ding...

The phone on the bedside table was still ringing incessantly.

Along with the occasional vibrations.

This caused the entire cabinet to resonate.

The phone was gradually moved due to the vibration.

Until it was moved to the very edge and was about to fall.

Thud...

A very soft sound.

A hand caught it.

Chen Jianji looked at the phone that was still vibrating in his hand.

The familiar silver casing, though somewhat scratched, looked much newer than he remembered.

In her previous life, Lin Xinrong spent ten years on it and still couldn't bear to change it.

It's always being repaired and patched up.

Because it was Lin Qingxue who took him to pick out this thing.

Chen Jianji, the former father-in-law, and his mother-in-law, devoted their entire lives to their three children.

Lin Qingxue, him, and Xiaotong.

Buzz... Buzz...

The phone, held in the palm of my hand, sounded much muffled.

But it was still vibrating.

Chen Jianji then came to his senses and skillfully pressed the mute button.

Then I put it back on the bedside table.

Until the call from "Xiaoxue" disappeared.

A red missed call was generated.

Chen Jianji then picked up the bag containing the food again and left the ward.

......

Female dormitory 307.

"Hehe, I'm so happy today! I had a big meal for lunch, and I even packed some delicious food to take home so I can eat it again tonight!"

After washing up, Liu Yun lay on the bed, happily closed her eyes, and hugged the blanket, wanting to fall asleep.

Zhang Xinyi across from her was spreading out her blanket, also preparing to rest.

Upon hearing this, she paused in her actions, looking around at the empty bed.

His pupils contracted slightly.

Only then did I belatedly realize that there was food that Liu Yun, the foodie, had specially saved for me in that bag!

Zhang Xinyi's expression remained normal as she quietly lay down and covered herself completely with the blanket.

It wasn't me... it was Chen Jianji who said he was hungry because he hadn't eaten anything, so he grabbed the bag and ran away.

It's none of my business...

Rumble...

A bolt of lightning flashed past the dormitory window.

The rain continued to fall in a light drizzle.

They all huddled on the bed.

Wang Shuxian looked at the sky outside the window and said with some worry.

"I wonder if Shu Qi and the others brought umbrellas."

Wang Jiaqi rolled over, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Huh? Only she went to the airport, so where did the doors come from?"

"And the class monitor, she left earlier than us too, and she was empty-handed. She hasn't come back to the dorm yet."

"Oh, class monitor, it's nothing. She's going to the teacher's office. She'll stay in the teaching building if it's raining."

"Hmm...that's true."

"Why are you still holding your phone? Did you let Zhao Yong know you got to the dorm safely?"

"Hey Jiaqi, don't talk nonsense, he's not my boyfriend!"

"Huh? I didn't say it was my boyfriend, you said it yourself."

"Jiaqi!!!"

"Hahaha..."

......

Girls' dormitory building.

Lin Qingxue, wearing her school uniform, held her schoolbag over her head and ran back.

They ran until they reached the dormitory manager's office to take shelter from the rain.

I don't know if it was because I was running too fast, or something else.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her heart was pounding.

His eyes and brows even held a smile that he could hardly hide, a rare sight indeed.

Lin Qingxue put down her schoolbag and casually shook off the rainwater.

She didn't even care about her hair, which was soaked with water.

She eagerly picked up her phone, swiped the screen, and pressed the buttons.

Without realizing it, I typed in the number that seemed to be firmly etched in my heart.

She looked at the numbers on the screen.

My finger hovered over the dial button, but I didn't press it for a long time.

The smile on his face froze instantly, then gradually faded, and finally returned to calm.

"call..."

Lin Qingxue seemed to have picked up the habit of deep breathing from that person.

That person had once told him that if he didn't want to vent his bad feelings...

Taking deep breaths like this can at least help me feel a little better.

Until my heartbeat calmed down a bit.

Lin Qingxue then removed her finger, tapped the back button, entered another number, and dialed it.

Beep...beep...

The phone rang before the call was connected.

A faint smile returned to Lin Qingxue's face.

But as time goes by...

Her smile gradually faded again.

Rumble!

A bolt of lightning flashed overhead.

The dark sky was briefly tinged with a ghastly white.

Lin Qingxue's heart skipped a beat with the sound of thunder.

at the same time.

A mechanical female voice came from the phone next to my ear.

Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

Lin Qingxue lowered her eyes, picked up her phone, and dialed again.

Once...twice...three times.

No one answered.

Lin Qingxue pursed her lips tightly, and the unease in her eyes became more and more obvious.

"Oh, is this Qingxue? Are you wet? Would you like to come in and dry your hair first?"

Just then.

The dormitory supervisor caught sight of her standing outside the door and called out to her.

Lin Qingxue gripped her phone tightly and turned to reply.

"Thank you, but no need."

Seeing this, the aunt took an umbrella from her table and came out.

"Take this back to your dorm, take a hot shower later and then come down to dry your hair. There are only a few days left until the college entrance exam, so don't catch a cold."

Looking at the umbrella handed to me.

"Thank you, teacher."

Lin Qingxue ultimately did not refuse and reached out to take it.

The aunt nodded.

"You kids, you take advantage of your youth to run around in the rain. One of you just borrowed my electric scooter, and now with this heavy rain, I don't know how he's going to get back."

"I need to find his phone number and call him to ask."

Listen to her muttering.

Lin Qingxue lowered her head, staring at the number on her phone screen that she couldn't get through to.

Just as I was about to dial again.

"Minor Snow, Minor Snow!"

Suddenly, a series of urgent shouts came from afar.

Lin Qingxue froze and turned to look.

Li Wenyan was seen running over anxiously, holding an umbrella.

They ran until they reached the eaves of the dormitory manager's house.

He put the umbrella aside, hunched over, and panted heavily.

Lin Qingxue looked at him.

"Ayan, what happened?"

After a while, Li Wenyan stood up, pointed outside, and said urgently.

"My parents just called me, they said..."

He took a deep breath.

The unease in Lin Qingxue's heart became more and more obvious.

"Aunt Feng called them and said that Uncle Lin was injured and hospitalized, in the hospital near our school!"

These words were spoken.

Lin Qingxue's face suddenly turned pale, and she almost lost her balance, leaning against the wall behind her for support.

"A...hospital?"

She repeated it again in a hoarse voice.

Li Wenyan nodded solemnly.

Lin Qingxue took another deep breath, closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, she had regained her composure.

Although her face was still pale, she had already picked up her backpack and opened the umbrella that the dormitory manager had given her.

"I'm going to the dorm to get all my documents now. Ah Yan, go to the school gate and get me a taxi."

As she spoke, she took a step forward.

Li Wenyan, who was behind him, also responded.

"it is good."

The two split up and left in two separate groups, each walking hurriedly, almost running.

Just then, the dormitory supervisor came out with the student roster.

"Hey, Qingxue, I remember that kid. He's Chen Jianji, who's in the same class as you. Oh dear, my memory is terrible. I just remember that he looks familiar."

Do you have his phone number? I'll call him and ask when he'll call back...

Before the aunt could finish speaking, she saw that the eaves under the door were already empty.

"Huh, where did everyone go?"
