Such illness and pain actually very much consume people’s willpower. Even though Chu Yan had experienced many more serious and dangerous diseases than leukemia, he was still a bit overwhelmed.
System 2333 lay on his pillow and watched him incomprehensibly put the vitamin bottle with antibiotics.
[Master host, why don’t you let the male protagonist know? According to the level of medical conditions in this world, leukemia has a chance to be cured.］
Chu Yan poured two pills into the palm of his hand and swallowed them with warm water. [Since I want to continue living with him in this world, of course I have to think long-term. People are like this, where there is no regret. Even when you love, you give willingly and without hesitation, but once you feel that you have been let down and hurt, then the previous efforts will become a burden that deepens this resentment…]
[But what does this have to do with whether you tell the male protagonist to accept this matter?] System 2333 cannot understand. In his system knowledge, the emotional aspect was the most lacking.
[Of course, it’s to make him truly willing to give from now on…You know, my profession was originally cannon fodder scum attack…] Chu Yan smiled. The biggest characteristic of this kind of scum attack was that he only knew how to ask for and not return, but the two of them got along. It should have been a process of give and take, and this relationship could not last long if one just gives and accepts unilaterally.
But he didn’t want to really pay, so he could only create the illusion that he had already paid.
Although it was indeed not as arbitrary as before, it was also a very unique experience.
[Forget it…it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand.］

The dinner was still very sumptuous. Liang Suici recognized that two of them were made by Li Xi. As for the other more complicated dishes, he estimated that he ordered them from the hotel takeaway.
Neither of them had the habit of talking when they were eating. It wasn’t until Liang Suici put down his chopsticks and started drinking soup that Li Xi looked at him again and asked, “Are you finished now?”
“I ate some in the afternoon, but I’m not too hungry now.”
After listening to it, Li Xi stopped asking questions as if he had casually mentioned it. After all, he knew that he had never eaten much.
But that night, Li Xi saw him spit out all the things he had eaten, but there was not much in it, and what he vomited later was pure stomach acid.
Li Xi had been standing next to him and watching him. From his own perspective, he could even see the obvious shoulder blades protruding from his back due to bending over, the black hair and snow-white neck at the back of his head, and the obvious floating blue and white blood vessels. He waited until he pulled the towel on the side and wiped his face, before he asked the doubts in his heart.
“Are you sick?” Li Xi looked at his thin cheeks and the corners of his eyes that were physiologically red from vomiting, and a vague… A vague and uneasy feeling appeared in his heart.
“No, it should just be that I ate something bad in the afternoon.” Liang Suici shook his head and couldn’t help but bend down to cover his abdomen. Just after vomiting, there was a tingling pain like a needle in his stomach.
“There should be medicine at home. I’ll look for it.”
When Li Xi walked into the room with pills and warm water, he saw Liang Suici leaning on a wide recliner from a distance. His posture was actually very relaxed. Because the heating was on very well, he only wore a light-collar cardigan on his upper body and looked out the window slightly out of his mind.
Following his gaze, he could only see the little lights of the shopping mall building on the opposite side. The breeze blew from a height, the sky was dark, and dark clouds gathered from nowhere. There was a kind of breathless dullness in the air.
“Take the medicine.“ Li Xi put the medicine on the small table in front of him, raised his hand to look at the time, and then said, “I still have a little work. You can go to bed early after you finish the medicine.”
Before he reached the door, he heard the person who had been silent suddenly stop him softly, “Li Xi.”
His voice was actually very light, but Li Xi’s footsteps suddenly stopped. “What’s the matter?”
“Li Xi, let’s…end this relationship…I don’t want to continue.” His voice was full of exhaustion, as if he had been depressed for a long time, and his tone was heavy.
Li Xi stiffened, then slowly walked back to the recliner, looked at him condescendingly, and said, “You don’t want to? So what?”
His voice was unusually calm, but in such a silent room, it was so calm that it was close to being cold and cruel. “What qualifications do you think you have to bargain with me? Has my attitude recently given you the illusion that you think I still have you in my heart?”
“Whatever you think, I just think it’s boring. I have rented a house and will move out of here tomorrow. As for what you want to do, just do it…”
Li Xi sneered, raised his hand, and pinched his chin. The opponent’s skin was pale without a trace of blood. He easily left a clear red mark, “Are you thinking that I would not do anything to you?”
Liang Suici closed his eyes. The voice seemed to come from his chest. His lips trembled slightly because of poor breathing. “I never thought about it that way.”
“Never?” Li Xi stared at him, then picked up warm water from the small table in front of him. “Hurry up and go to bed, and immediately put away your pitiful look that the whole world owes you.”
But Liang Suici turned his face away, as if he didn’t want to look at him at all.
His undisguised disdainful attitude made Li Xi uncontrollably violent from the bottom of his heart. He put the water cup heavily on the table, picked up the pills on the table, forced him to open his mouth, and directly stuffed the pills into his mouth.
A foreign body entered his throat, and he couldn’t even breathe for an instant. Liang Suici struggled to break free from his hands, trembling uncontrollably, and couldn’t make any sound for a while. After a few seconds, he began to choke and cough sharply again.
Li Xi let go of his hand and looked at him. His body stiffened. He handed him the water on the coffee table, “Drink some water.”
But his choking cough intensified, mixed with gasps because he couldn’t breathe, Li Xi patted him on the back, but saw him suddenly raise his hand to cover his mouth and nose—there was blood flowing out between his fingers, and even his chest cavity was constantly vibrating because of his suppressed cough.
This was because of a severe cough that caused the nosebleeds that should have flowed into the nasal cavity and mouth to choke. The scene was actually very shocking. Li Xi was suddenly frightened by him, and his mind was blank in that second…
—
In the middle of the night, the corridors of the hospital were silent and cold, reflecting pale and dizzying light under the bright lights.
Li Xi held the inspection report in his hand and looked at the person in front of him with a deep expression. His expression was even calm, but his eyes were sharp and cold. “Are you sure?”
His tone was also very calm, if one didn’t listen carefully, they wouldn’t have noticed the trembling at the end.
“Yes, Mr. Li, the test results can’t go wrong… but this is not the worst case, because chronic myeloid leukemia has a long development cycle, so as long as you actively cooperate, most patients can be cured even through drug treatment…”
Li Xi’s back was stiff and about to break, and his eardrums were buzzing. In fact, he couldn’t hear what the doctor was saying. The nerves in his head were beating abruptly, making his consciousness a little lax. It took a long time before he put the examination report on the table, pushed aside the chair, stood up, and asked, “Should he be hospitalized first?”
“Although the level of domestic medical care has improved a lot over the years, but after all, the conditions are limited, and for your friend, Mr. Li, in fact, my best suggestion is to go abroad for treatment. The most important thing is to find a bone marrow that matches the patient.” The doctor subconsciously felt that since the patient was Li Xi’s friend, he should also be rich or expensive.
“I see.” Li Xi put his trembling hand into his pants pocket, then turned around and strode out of the office.
Li Xi touched his mobile phone on the balcony and started making calls. It was already an hour later when all the calls were over.
As long as a suitable bone marrow match could be found, leukemia was actually not that terrible…
He raised his hand to cover his eyes and suppressed a low whimper. There was darkness beyond the window, and the whole world fell into a dead silence.
Originally, he thought that the hatred for him was painful enough, but at this moment he understood what fate’s worst teasing of people was.
Did he know this fact himself?
He should know… After all, he was a doctor himself. How could he not know..?
Li Xi was thinking in confusion, and suddenly, a strange and absurd thought flashed in his mind–-if he knew it, when did he know it?
His heartbeat was beating violently because of this sudden thought, and the answer was about to come out, probably because there were too many wishful thoughts hidden in it, so he didn’t dare to be sure of the answer in his heart.
He took out his mobile phone again and dialed a call.
Zhang Chengye had just finished dinner at the other end, and he had received a call from Li Xi on the way home.
“Do me a favor…at the hospital in M City… check a person’s medical records…”
—
When Li Xi opened the door of the ward and entered, the nurse was still adjusting the infusion tube for him. “It’s only one o’clock now. You can sleep here for a while.”
Liang Suici nodded, but he took out his mobile phone and looked at it for a while before he was sleepy. He changed into a blue and white striped sick uniform with a cardigan. Because of the recent sharp weight loss, the sick uniform still looked a bit big.
Li Xi looked at him, and the whole world seemed to have turned into an illusory background, until the nurse looked up and saw him standing at the door and said, “Mr. Li.”
Liang Suici also raised his eyes to look at him. His eyes were extremely calm, except for the pale face that could not be ignored. It seemed that there was no difference from usual.
As soon as Li Xi walked over, the nurse left the ward consciously.
