Fall in a second

Lu Ming overslept in the hotel, and she was woken up by the hotel waiter, who explained that the Ms. Ji who helped her open the room in the early morning had told her to go upstairs to wake her up if she hadn't gone downstairs at [-] o'clock in the morning. she.

Lu Ming understood, and was moved by Aunt Yu Ji's thoughtful thinking, while surprised at the fact that she was going to be late soon, so she didn't have time to think too much, so she washed up quickly, took her phone that was running out of battery, and went downstairs to check out the room and go to school .

As class time approached, there were many students running around the campus like her. Lu Ming didn't plan to take the books anymore, and just went there alone. It was better than being late and being called by the teacher.

Class starts at 29:[-], and Lu Ming stepped into the classroom at [-]:[-], out of breath, her whole face was flushed with blood, she glanced at the seat where Shen Jinye was sitting, it was strange that she didn't help herself to occupy it today Usually, the two of them would occupy each other's seats. Without thinking too much, Lu Ming went directly to the empty back seat two rows away from her and sat down, breathing quietly by herself.

The professional teacher is about to prepare for class. Lu Ming is still a little flustered. After all, she didn’t bring any books, and she doesn’t have any classmates. I don’t know if the teacher will ask questions in class today. Fortunately, she has always had the habit of previewing her homework in advance. , the progress will at least not fall behind, even if there is no book, you can understand the content of the lecture.

At this moment, the counselor suddenly appeared at the door. After looking around the classroom, he called his name directly: "Lu Ming! Come here."

Lu Ming stood up, not knowing what happened, so she obediently walked out of the classroom.

But Shen Jinye looked up and looked out, then silently retracted his gaze and lowered his head.

Lu Ming followed the counselor to the end of the corridor and stood by the bed. The counselor turned around and asked her, "Where did you sleep last night?"

Lu Mingxin panicked for a moment. Could it be that a student on duty checked his bed last night?

"At the hotel." She said truthfully, after all, she didn't have the guts to lie.

"You are a model representative student of our class. The school held a commendation meeting for you. You are only a freshman now. How can you just open a room outside for the night?"

"Instructor, I am not what you think. I slept alone last night, because some things delayed my return to the dormitory..."

"Okay, okay, you don't need to explain to me, I don't care if you have a precedent for staying overnight outside the school, anyway, this is the first time you were caught, I stopped you and won't report to the college, you yourself Think about it and do it for yourself.”

After hearing this, Lu Ming was very grateful and nodded his thanks again and again.

"Submit a self-criticism to me before school is over at night, and let's forget about it. If you violate the school's rules and regulations next time, I can't protect you."

Lu Ming nodded: "I remember, I won't do it next time."

"Go back to class."

After talking with the counselor, Lu Ming returned to the classroom, raised her hand and knocked on the door, and went in under the teacher's signal. On the way back to her seat, Lu Ming subconsciously looked at Shen Jinye again. She intentionally avoided her eyes. Ming is not such a narrow-minded person, and she has always lived a heartless life, but today's incident inevitably made people feel a thorn in their hearts.

She didn't blame Shen Jinye for not covering for her, it's just... She originally thought they were good enough friends, could it be that she was acting affectionate...

School at noon.

Shen Jinye didn't talk to Lu Ming all morning. Lu Ming took the initiative to find her for lunch, but she said she didn't want to eat and went back to the dormitory first. Lu Ming nodded and said nothing more.

After eating in the cafeteria alone, Shen Jinye was not there when he returned to the dormitory. Lu Ming hurriedly took a shower, changed his clothes, and washed the clothes again. Then he opened the book and recorded what he heard in the morning and stored it in his mind. Come down, go to class as usual in the afternoon, run around in various colleges, and then practice subject three with the coach, mainly on the West Road at the back door of the school. There are not many cars on weekdays, everyone is practicing here, and the exam has been scheduled. The daily practice time is neither long nor short.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when Lu Ming returned to the dormitory. Shen Jinye was watching TV at the time. Seeing her coming back, she didn't say a word and put on headphones for herself. It was obvious that she didn't want to talk. When it came to her, I felt a little unhappy, and she was a person who couldn't hold back, so she took out her mobile phone and sent her a message.

Lu Ming: What's wrong with you, you don't talk to me today.

Shen Jinye glanced at the mobile phone on the table, ignored it, and continued watching TV, so Lu Ming had no choice but to take a shower first.

As a result, when she came back from the shower, Shen Jinye had already gone to bed, covered with a quilt, facing the inside of the wall, Lu Ming sat on the bed and looked at the phone, and found that she had finally replied.

Shen Jinye: It's nothing, I'm in a bad mood and don't want to talk.

Well, Lu Ming has nothing to say for such a reason. She held the phone in a daze for a while, and remembered that she needed to apply the medicine. The medicated oil given by Aunt Ji had to be applied every day. After applying the medicine, she remembered something, Without stopping, he picked up his phone and sent Xia Yi a message.

Lu Ming: Sister Xia Yi, are you asleep?

The other party replied almost in seconds...

Xia Yi: No, I'm discussing life with my colleagues, what's the matter.

Lu Ming: May I ask you something.

Xia Yi: Tell me.

Lu Ming: Do you know where you can learn martial arts in S City, the price is not too expensive.

Xia Yi: Do you want to practice martial arts?

Lu Ming: No, I just want to make myself stronger so that I can defend myself and protect Aunt Ji in the future.

Xia Yi: Then I can recommend you to learn Judo or Sanda.

Xia Yi: I happen to have a friend who works as a coach in an institution. I'll help you get in touch.

Lu Ming: Great, I'm sorry to trouble you, sister Xia Yi.

Xia Yi: Oh, what a big deal, that's all right, wait for my news.

Lu Ming opened the book again and began to preview the new content. In fact, she has been waiting for news from Sister Xia Yi, even though the other party did not give a definite reply to her tonight.

It was almost 10:30, Lu Ming glanced at the time, feeling a little tired, she closed the book and prepared to go to the bathroom and come back to sleep, when she came back to bed after going to the bathroom, she vaguely saw that the screen of the phone was on, and then turned off again the next second Yes, quickly pick it up to check, it was Xia Yi who sent the message.

Xia Yi: I found one for you. This is the address of their shop.

Xia Yi: See if it works.

Lu Ming: Alright, I'll take the time to take a look at it another day, thank you sister Xia Yi.

Xia Yi: You're welcome, if you need my help, just ask.

Following the name of this store, Lu Ming tried to search online, and found that the price is not cheap. An experience class costs hundreds of dollars, and a set of basic courses costs at least 5000 yuan. Where can she get it? This 5000 yuan ah, suddenly a little flinched.

In order to prepare birthday presents for Aunt Ji, she took time to work every weekend, and she has only saved less than 2000 yuan so far, and seeing that Aunt Ji's birthday is coming up next month...

Putting down the phone and laying flat on the bed, Lu Ming faced the ceiling, suddenly feeling powerless.

After returning from her sister's place, Ji Youqing has been restless for the past two days, and she is always absent-minded when doing things. I don't know whether it is because of the pressure from the company, or what her sister said to her, or, she I gradually began to miss a person in my heart.

This afternoon, the sky started to rain. Lu Ming didn't open an umbrella, and put on a sweater hat directly on herself. She felt that the drizzle was not a big problem, so she walked directly to the place where the car was practiced, and only found out when she got there. Under the shed, only the coach was smoking a cigarette sadly, and when the other party turned his head, he happened to see Lu Ming

"Well, there's someone else coming."

Lu Ming also smiled and said hello: "Coach, I'm here to practice."

The coach took out the car keys from his pocket and said to her: "Today, this car is yours. You can drive it casually, and practice more while it's raining."

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, a little flattered.

Then the coach said to her: "It's only raining a little bit, and all these little girls have sent me messages saying that they can't come to practice."

Lu Ming smiled without saying a word and turned to drive the car parked on the side of the road. She thought it was okay, the time for the exam was getting closer and closer, and the time for practicing the car was very tight every day, and it was not bad if it rained. It was raining on the day of the exam, so I should have adapted to various weather conditions in advance, and in real life in the future, there will always be rainy days, so if it can’t rain, I will go out and drive.

However, it is quite comfortable to practice driving alone.

In the eyes of their driving students, all non-driving school buses on the road are collectively referred to as social vehicles, which may be a conventional term.

When Lu Ming was driving for the third lap, she accidentally saw a passing vehicle, and the person sitting in it looked like Aunt Ji. She almost hit the road pier because she was patronizing, but fortunately, she braked in time, and she couldn't sit on the road. The coach's buttocks in the distance bounced off the chair in an instant, sweating coldly.

Lu Ming held the steering wheel with both hands and panted, still feeling lingering fear.

Sometimes I miss someone too much, and I can't help but imagine strangers as her.

After readjusting his condition, Lu Ming stepped up and practiced for two more laps, and finally came back and parked the car in the original position. At this time, the rain was getting heavier. Lu Ming quickly put on his hat and it was ready. Before getting out of the car and getting ready for the rain, huge drops of water fell on the ground, splashing layers of mist, making people's vision blurred and difficult to see clearly. All this may herald the end of autumn in the city.

Opening the car door, he first lifted one foot to the ground, then bent down and got out of the car. Unexpectedly, there was no heavy rain on his body. Lu Ming looked up in surprise and found that Qi Nansheng was holding an umbrella for himself. He grinned at her.

"Surprise!"

"Sister, why did you come here, and how did you know I'm here?" Lu Ming had a bunch of question marks in his head.

"Hmm... It's not difficult to know where the driving school of S University is located. I bought you some snacks." Qi Nansheng gestured to the bag in the other hand.

"Sister, you really don't need to buy these for me. I have enough pocket money for myself, and I can eat enough in the cafeteria every day." Lu Ming felt very sorry.

"Oh, I can't come to see you empty-handed. Besides, how much does this snack cost? I can just make two dishes."

As Qi Nansheng spoke, he raised his hand very naturally to straighten Lu Ming's hair that was messed up by the hat. Lu Ming dodged subconsciously, but there was a car behind him, and there was no way out.

Coincidentally, this scene was seen by Ji Youqing.

When she came back from the company, she drove to this road unknowingly. It was obviously not the way for her to go home, but her hands seemed to be out of control, maybe holding a trace can be seen here It was her fluke, so she pretended to be passing by.

Seeing this picture, Ji Yuqing's heart twitched immediately, and she lost the ability to breathe for a short time. She immediately looked back and looked straight ahead, without looking back all the way, until the next corner, she breathed a sigh of relief , even so, there is still no way to forget that picture in my mind.

Sometimes she also felt that she was quite strange. On the one hand, she didn't want to delay others, she wanted them to study hard, and find a normal person with a not so big age difference to fall in love with. Maybe that person was Qi Nansheng, but on the other hand, she could bear it She couldn't stop caring, she felt that she was quite cheap like this.

In the next few days, Ji Youqing almost locked himself in the company, sitting around the clock, as if he only had to keep himself busy so that he would have no time to think about other things.

Day by day, the state of the company is still half-dead, and the public opinion caused by the sister's matter will not subside in a short time, so I can only endure it, and get through this limelight. If you can resist, you will win. If you can't bear it, you just pack up and leave.

In the blink of an eye it was Friday.

At five o'clock in the afternoon that day, Xia Yi came to the office to find Ji Youqing, and wanted to ask her to have dinner with her and other friends. Ji Youqing refused her without hesitation, saying that he was going back in a hurry, and Lu Ming almost blurted out the word deer.

"Record what? Video?" Xia Yi looked confused.

Ji Youqing was lucky. Fortunately, she didn't hear it. She almost blurted out that Lu Ming was going to leave school. She realized that Lu Ming had already gone back to school, and she wouldn't come again on Friday. , I felt a little lost when I thought of it.

"No, it's nothing." Ji Youqing smiled, "I'm a little tired, I want to go back to rest early, you go and relax."

Xia Yi pursed her lips: "That's fine, sister, you should drive carefully on the way back, and have a good rest on the weekend."

When he came to the underground parking lot alone, Ji Youqing opened the car door and sat in. He was in a daze for a while, and when he thought of going back to face a room alone, he suddenly resisted in his heart.

Her life seemed to return to the original point all of a sudden, no, it seemed to be even worse, and now even her dearest sister was about to leave.

"Are you okay?" Suddenly someone knocked on her car window. It turned out to be a patrolling security guard, worried that she would suffocate to death in the car.

Ji Youqing came back to his senses and nodded, then quickly started the car and drove away.

On Friday afternoon, Lu Ming did not go back to the dormitory immediately after school. Instead, she went to the cafeteria to have a meal in a leisurely manner, and then went directly to the school library to study with her schoolbag on her back. There were fewer people today than usual Some, but there are still many people, most of whom are students who are preparing for postgraduate entrance examinations and stay here all the year round. It has a better learning atmosphere than dormitories.

Lu Ming thought that she would be alone in the dormitory anyway, it would be terrifyingly quiet, so why not come to the library to kill time.

I don't know what happened to Aunt Ji. Lu Ming has been opening and closing her profile picture repeatedly in the past few days. She has never dared to send her a message or disturb her. Pay close attention to her, even though Aunt Ji is not used to posting on Moments, Lu Ming will still visit her every day, for fear of missing something.

She can understand that Aunt Ji is in a bad mood and state during this period, so she can understand her bad attitude. Lu Ming really understands it very well. If you want to open it, you won't feel too uncomfortable, but will motivate yourself even more Work hard and improve yourself.

Lu Ming sat alone in a quiet corner and studied until very late. Seeing that people in the library were leaving one after another, it was time for her to pack up and go back to the dormitory. She had to rest early, and she had to take subject three tomorrow. I heard from the coach that the location of this exam is different from the one and two of the previous subjects, it is in another direction of the city, Lu Ming has never been there before, and I am not familiar with the roads, so I have to get up early and leave early tomorrow.

The dormitory building is very empty, and there are sporadic lights on. Lu Ming returned to the dormitory, and immediately locked the door, followed by routine bathing and laundry, and the dormitory does not turn off the lights during the holidays. This is very humane. Lu Ming Ming can finish everything in a leisurely manner before going to bed, and then force herself to sleep quickly.

Unexpected insomnia.

She tossed and turned several times on the bed. When she opened her eyes, it was Aunt Ji. When she closed her eyes, she was still Aunt Ji. Her mind was full of her.

The consequence was that the next day when the alarm rang, she forcibly got up from the bed with dark circles under her eyes, washed her hands hastily, bought breakfast in the cafeteria and ate it while walking, and was going to the nearest subway station to take the subway. Her legs were moving fast, and at this moment, a voice made her stop.

"Luming!"

Lu Ming turned around when she heard the sound, and found that there was a car driving towards her from behind, and the person sitting in the car happened to be Qi Nansheng.

"Sister!"

Qi Nansheng pulled the car over and smiled at her with the window open: "What are you doing, it's so early."

"I'm going to take the exam." Lu Ming replied.

"I'll give you a ride." Qi Nansheng said with a smile.

"No, no need." Lu Ming waved his hand awkwardly, "Senior sister, go to work quickly, I'll just go by car, don't bother."

"It's okay, come up, I'll take you there, I'm resting today."

"Ah?" Lu Ming suddenly couldn't find a suitable reason, and stood there like a fool, feeling a little anxious.

At this moment, the car parked behind Qi Nansheng began to honk its horn non-stop, and Qi Nansheng also urged Lu Ming to get up: "Lu Ming, hurry up, you can't park on this road, if you don't come up, I will deduct points and fine you. The driver's license should be very clear about these regulations."

Lu Ming didn't want her senior to be punished for this, so she hurried into the car under urging.

After seeing Lu Ming getting into the car, Qi Nansheng raised the corners of his lips silently, started the car and drove ahead, and gently reminded her: "Don't forget the seat belt."

"Oh, good." Lu Ming got into the car in a hurry and almost forgot about it.

"Where is your examination room?" Qi Nansheng asked solemnly while driving.

"Ah?" Lu Ming smiled embarrassedly, "Senior sister, you really don't need to see me off, the place is quite far, I can just take a car by myself, you can put me down on the side of the road over there."

"Then how can it work? I have already let the words out, so there is no reason to take them back. You just sit down and I will send you to the examination room. Then you, just sit down and take the exam. Fight for it once." Qi Nansheng said with a smile.

But Lu Ming is sitting here... her heart is not at ease. I am so embarrassed, but I can't let her jump out of the car directly. If she insists on getting out of the car, the scene will be very stiff and ugly. She is really Don't know what to do.

"Hey, what are your three subjects?" Qi Nansheng easily diverted Lu Ming's attention.

Lu Ming began to answer seriously.

Today is Saturday, there is no need to go to the company, but Ji Youqing still woke up very early, it was the alarm clock that woke her up, today Luming subject three exams, this is the alarm clock that she set a long time ago, she didn't find out until she woke up, Lu Ming didn't live in this house for a long time, and there was no longer that little girl who cooked hot noodles for her all morning, and then they ate together and rushed to the examination room.

Ji Youqing stood alone in the empty living room in pajamas and slippers, sighed at Lu Ming's empty room, turned around and poured himself a glass of water, looked up at the time, at this time, the child should have already left , I don't know how she got to the examination room.

Ji Youqing was always like this, the more she didn't want to think about it, the more she couldn't help thinking about it. After drinking this glass of water, she continued to go back to the room, climbed onto the bed and covered herself with a quilt, curled up on the bed and closed her eyes.

After Qi Nansheng sent Lu Ming to the examination room, he waited for her outside. Even though Lu Ming said that he would let her go back, he didn't have to wait for her, but Qi Nansheng wanted to. If he really listened to her and went back, it would be meaningless, anyway. It's okay for her to rest and idle today, even if she is sleeping at home, fortunately, she asked someone to find out about this in advance, and she actually stopped her on the side of the road in the morning.

Ji Youqing lay on the bed for a while, and found that he couldn't fall back asleep. He grabbed his phone and checked that it was time for the exam. Lu Ming must have arrived at the exam room by this time. Ji Youqing was a little worried, so he checked the communication on his phone. I found a person and called him. This person is my sister's friend. My sister had contacted him twice because of Luming's application for a driver's license. It happened that I was working as an examiner in Luming's subject three examination room today, because Ji Youqing and the other party did not agree. I kept in touch, I didn't want to disturb others, but I was really worried, so I called the other party after hesitation.

After the call was made, he first made friends with the other party in an unaccustomed tone, and then expressed his intention to come, and said directly to the convenience: "You are talking about Lu Ming, she has arrived a long time ago, I just watched Here she is, a very pretty girl drove her here."

"Oh, is that so, thank you." The smile on Ji Youqing's face gradually faded.

"Seeing how polite you are, it's just a trivial matter. I thought you would send her here today."

"I have something to do, so..." Ji Youqing hesitated to speak.

They exchanged some polite words with each other and ended the call.

Ji Youqing's cell phone slipped down silently, and she suddenly felt empty, with some indescribable pain.

The author has something to say: thank you
