Once in a blue moon
Uncle suddenly reminded Yao Shunru that winter vacation was approaching and discussed with him about returning to his hometown for the new year, putting Yao Shunru in a dilemma. Tian Meixiu was still lying in the hospital, making a fuss about becoming a nun. How could he leave Shanghai?
His mind spun quickly and he smiled at his uncle."I might not be able to go back during the winter break. Principal Zhu has proposed a research project for the 'Post-War Recovery Plan', and I'm the head of the agricultural team. Our classmates want to use the winter vacation to go to the countryside around Shanghai to do research.”
"What plan are you talking about? Now that the smoke was everywhere, it was still too early to talk about economic revival. Since that's the case, you should take on this responsibility. You have grown up. It doesn't matter if you go back during the winter vacation or not. Completing your studies is of great importance.
"If you decide not to go home, you should write a letter to your mother in advance and explain the situation so that your family won't miss you. Also, send my regards. I'll write another book for your mother.”
His uncle had a habit of taking an afternoon nap. After he finished speaking, he yawned. Yao Shunru took the opportunity to stand up and say,"Uncle, you should rest. I have an appointment with Shi Guangyao to play basketball in the afternoon.”
Uncle smiled." I know you can't stay here without Manli. You should go. Remember what I said."”
Yao Shunru hurriedly went to the kitchen to bid farewell to his aunt, who still wanted him to stay for dinner.
Uncle smiled." Let him go. He's absent-minded. Don't stay."”
He said goodbye to his parents and rushed straight to the hospital.
Tian Meixiu's illness was indeed a little strange. At the opening ceremony and the conference to denounce the Japanese invasion of China, she heard the speeches of Professor Chu, Yao Shunru, and Shi Guangyao. It made her tremble in fear and shock, as if this bloody scene was happening in front of her eyes.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she would see corpses strewn all over the place. Many bloody zombies got up from the ground and waved at her. She could even hear the heart-wrenching howls from all around her. As she walked on the road, she could feel that her classmates were criticizing her behind her back.
She fled the school in a panic and returned home with a pale face. She didn't say a word to her family. She ran straight into her bedroom and fell on the bed with her clothes on. She was dazzled by the bloody horror that filled the place.
When it was time for dinner, no matter how much her family knocked on the door and shouted, she did not respond. Her mother didn't know what had happened and quickly called her father to hurry back. When her father returned home and saw this situation, he was also flustered.
Tian Meixiu was about to fall asleep when a group of students suddenly broke in and pulled her up from the bed, punching and kicking her. In the end, he grabbed her hair and dragged her to the wilderness, throwing her into a pile of dead bodies.
She saw broken walls and broken eaves burning everywhere. Zombies with missing limbs were everywhere, and blood was flowing on the ground.
She saw Yao Shunru and Shi Guangyao groaning in a pool of blood. She was about to go forward to save them when suddenly these zombies stood up and threatened to take her life.
She shouted for help…Help…Help!
Suddenly, she heard her parents calling her name. She wanted to struggle and run to her parents, but her hands and feet were tightly bound by the zombies. Countless pairs of giant hands pressed down on her, making her unable to breathe.
She was so frightened that she struggled desperately and fell into a corpse pit. She suddenly woke up and saw her parents standing in front of the bed, patting her. It turned out to be a nightmare. She ran into her mother's arms and trembled, sobbing.
From then on, Tian Meixiu's entire mind was in a mess. Going to school became a heavy mental burden for her. She always felt that her classmates were talking about her behind her back, making her unable to raise her head. Especially when she couldn't face Yao Shunru and suspected that she was the executioner who killed his father and grandfather.
As usual, Yao Shunru kept expressing goodwill to her, making her heart jump and her mind go wild. Her mind was breaking down. She had wild thoughts during the day and nightmares every night. Her appetite decreased day by day and her body became thinner and thinner. In the end, she refused to go to school no matter what. Her parents had no choice but to send her to Gongji Hospital for treatment.
Her mother, Madam Zhao, was a devout believer of the Mary Missionary Sisters of Francis and had a deep friendship with Old Granny Helen. Seeing that her daughter's illness had come so suddenly and strangely, she went to ask the old nanny what illness her daughter had.
Old Granny Helen replied that she might be haunted by a demon and that she would not be able to recover in a short period of time. She could only try to calm her down first.
Seeing that her daughter had repeatedly proposed to become a nun, her mother discussed with the old nanny and decided to baptize her at Sunday Mass today to convert her to Jesus. Therefore, the whole family came to the hospital early.
Because Shi Guangyao drank too much last night, the alarm clock at seven o'clock had already rung. He hurriedly got up and washed up. At breakfast, his mother smiled and said to him,"After dinner, dress up and change into that new suit. I'll take you to a blind date.”
Shi Guangyao was very surprised when he heard this. He was still studying. Why did his mother suddenly propose to take him to a blind date? And she had never mentioned it before. She said reluctantly," Mom, I haven't even finished university. Why would I go on a blind date? I'm not going."”
"It will be too late for you to graduate from university. Today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. One of my church sisters had a beautiful daughter who was studying in university. I had my eyes on her for a long time, but I didn't have the right opportunity to speak to her. Now, her daughter had suddenly fallen ill and was admitted to the hospital. She was going to baptize her daughter today. We've discussed bringing you to a blind date to bring her some good luck. It's really a good thing that can't be missed.”Madam Shi said with a smile.
"I'm not going. I have an appointment with a classmate.”As soon as Shi Guangyao spoke, he suddenly realized something. His daughter, who was studying in university, suddenly fell ill. How could it be such a coincidence? Could it be Tian Meixiu?
" Mom," he asked hurriedly," her daughter, who was studying in university, suddenly fell ill. What kind of illness did she have? Which hospital did she go to? What do her parents do?"”
Madam Shi looked at her son's shocked expression and smiled."I didn't ask what illness she has. She's staying at Gongji Hospital. Her father is the boss of the Xinhua textile factory.”
"Is her surname Tian? Do you know her parents? That's great. We're classmates. I'm going to the hospital to see her.”Shi Guangyao said in surprise.
"Yes, yes, her surname is Tian. What a coincidence. So you two are classmates. Are you very close to her? Quickly tell Mom, how did the conversation go? Did you get together?" Madam Shi said in surprise.
"Mom, we're just ordinary classmates. Don't let your imagination run wild.”
He added," I can go with you today, but I have an appointment with a classmate. Don't mention the blind date in front of my classmate today."”
"Why? This was her mother's idea. I agreed to this marriage, so how can I go back on my word?”Madam Shi didn't understand the mystery behind this, much less her son's concerns.
"Mom, how can you agree to someone so easily? Anyway, you can't talk about the blind date in front of my classmates and a third party today.”
Shi Guangyao was overwhelmed with emotions. He turned around and went to the living room to make a call. He called the school a few times, but he couldn't find Yao Shunru. He thought that he might have already been hospitalized.
At 10 am, Mrs. Shi and her son arrived at Gongji Hospital in an American jeep. When they walked into ward 202 with flowers and fruits, Tian Meixiu's parents stood up to welcome them warmly.
Tian Meixiu's mother, Madam Zhao, said,""Sister Mei, it's already a great honor for you to come, and you even spent so much money to buy so many things. The noble young master was so handsome. I'm really sorry, but this ward is small and messy.”
"Call me uncle and auntie," Madam Shi said with a smile.”
Shi Guangyao quickly greeted them. "Tian Meixiu and I are classmates. We came here yesterday."”
He walked to the bed and said to Tian Meixiu,"Why don't you look as good as yesterday? Where are you feeling unwell?"”
Mrs. Shi also came to the bed and held Tian Meixiu's hand."Miss Tian, I've come to see you. It's heartbreaking to see a beauty so skinny.”
"Thank you for your concern, Aunty Mei," Tian Meixiu said softly.”
Shi Guangyao didn't see Yao Shunru's figure, and it was inconvenient for him to ask Tian Meixiu. He felt uneasy and couldn't tell what he was feeling.
Madam Zhao then said to the children standing at the side,"Call me Auntie, call me Brother."
She turned around and introduced the man to Madam Shi."We were supposed to go to the church for a baptism today, but last night, Meixiu suddenly had a high fever, so we temporarily changed it to a water ceremony in the ward. Granny Helen will be the host, and Miss Mary will be the assistant.”
