Chapter 8
Ling Su also sighed and said, "Indeed, how could I not have noticed that"
However, upon getting closer, I was startled. Ling Su seemed to have lost a lot of weight, her complexion was pale, her lips colorless, and her eyes were dim, as if she had suffered from a serious illness
Ling Su tightly clutched the note with the estimated score in her left hand, gazing at the thick directory, and closed her weary eyes.
In the middle of the journey, I could not help but go look for Ling Su, but the house was dark and silent. No one answered the door when I knocked, so I returned home dejectedly
Ling Su, it was agreed beforehand that wherever you go, I will go as well
Upon arriving at the hospital, my younger sister was asleep. She sat by the bedside for a moment before reluctantly getting up
Alas, this illness has dragged on for too long
Xu Mingzheng wore a worried expression: "Why bother? You are well aware of your own capabilities!"
No need, no need! Ling Su said as she quickened her pace, crossing the road and turning the corner.
Ling Su let go of the paper and pulled over the volunteer form, "After being blind for so long, I finally understand"
Xu Mingzheng chased after her, "Lingsu, I have a car at home, let me take you back!"
Ling Su suddenly asked softly: "Doctor, may I ask you a question? If a person who has never been diagnosed with heart disease suddenly falls ill and is hospitalized, recovers enough to get out of bed, yet passes away the next day due to another episode, is this reasonable?"
"Ling Su, are you unwell?"
Ling Su said lightly, "It's nothing? Let's go in."
Ling Su shook her head: "No need, I will go to the hospital"
"Ling Su, what do you want to say?"
During these days of studying for the exam, it has felt like an eternity for Xu Mingzheng
Xiao Xu is a good person; she has already received too many favors from him and has no way to repay them
Ling Su smiled and said, "Study diligently, and make a final push at the end"
In July, the examination hall is filled with the sound of cicadas in the scorching sun outside, while inside, students are sweating profusely. The pen rustles on the paper, and the clock ticks away, each sound urging them on.
Xu Ming's face was a bit red, "I still want to take the risk to get into Tsinghua with this score. Have you decided where you want to go?"
She filled in the name of the school
As the final bell rang, Ling Su packed her pen and silently walked out of the examination room. While her classmates gathered together to discuss the answers, she paid no attention and walked straight out of the crowd
In the office, the doctor told her: "Given her current condition, undergoing surgery would still be too much of a strain."
Xu Mingzheng answered halfway, feeling uneasy as he glanced at Ling Su. She was focused on writing a message, appearing much more spirited than before. He felt somewhat reassured.
Then let me take you to the hospital
On the second day, they estimated their scores and filled out their applications. Ling Su held the pen for a long time without moving it, which left Xu Mingzheng unable to accomplish anything either
After much anticipation, the day of the college entrance examination finally arrived, and I gazed longingly, finally spotting that graceful figure among the candidates
Xu Mingzheng asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell? You seem to have something on your mind these past few days"
Reading is a result of diligence, not intelligence
Xu Mingzheng smiled, "Why do you ask like that? Of course you are smart, your grades are so good!"
The doctor is somewhat puzzled, "It's not impossible. But that person should have had very severe symptoms; how could they not have noticed anything before?"
How could it continue to deteriorate
Ling Su slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Ming Zheng, do you think I am smart?"
Ling Su smiled and patted him, "A man's ambition lies in the four corners of the world; what does it mean to run behind a woman? Isn't your mother eager for you to go to Tsinghua University, where your uncle works?"
