Chapter 17
After Li Xi and the doctor decided on the treatment plan, when he came back, he found that Chu Yan had woken up. The long-term high fever was very torturous, but after one night, his complexion was much paler and haggard than yesterday. Fortunately, the nurse came to take his temperature just now and said that the temperature has subsided a little.
"Wake up, do you want to drink some water?" Li Xi poured a glass of water and helped him sit up. There were traces of cold sweat on his forehead, and his subordinates could even touch his body with the abnormally hot residual temperature after a high fever. .
Will it hurt? Li Xi suddenly thought that the infiltration of leukemia would cause diffuse pain in the bones and back. Then, he should also be in great pain when he moved like this. Shouldn't it be lighter...
This is probably the most tormenting one. If there is no suitable bone marrow match all the time, then he can only endure this torment endlessly, waiting for a glimmer of illusory hope in the constant pain day and night.
"Li Xi, did you... slept here last night?" His voice was hoarse and weak, but after drinking the water and looking at Li Xi, he still smiled weakly at Li Xi.
Although the smile was very short-lived, it still made Li Xi startled for a moment, and then slowly took his hand on the quilt, nodded and said, "You burned so badly last night, how are you now? better……"
Unlike the scalding temperature on his body, his fingers and palms were cold because he had just finished the infusion.
Chu Yan looked down at him holding his hand, and after a while he sighed inaudibly, "Li Xi..."
Li Xi originally thought he had something to say to himself, but after waiting for a long time, he finally heard him sigh, but the sigh was so heavy that he couldn't breathe, and his throat seemed to be blocked. It's a hard lump, and nothing can be said.
...
The afternoon sun is very abundant, and the incoming beam can even see the particles of light and dust floating in the air, making the room warm and clean.
At this moment, the nurse's voice sounded at the door, and then the door was pushed open. Zhang Chengye walked into the ward while chatting with the little nurse.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chu Yan sitting on the hospital bed, lowering his head and playing with his mobile phone.
"Why are you... here?" Chu Yan turned to look at him, and there was an unconcealed doubt in his tone.
Zhang Chengye walked over and put the fruit basket on the bedside, then replaced the flowers in the vase with fresh ones he bought, "Otherwise, who else can come to see you except me and Li Xi?"
Originally, according to their relationship, it was inappropriate to say this kind of ridicule, but Chu Yan listened, but nodded and smiled, and said, "Yes."
In fact, his state at this time is not very good, his face is pale and there is no trace of blood, and his expression is indescribably tired, but it is just like this, this seemingly non-existent smile adds a little look to his face. .
When the two met before, it was either his indifference or his own sarcasm. It can be said that this was the first friendly smile he showed to him. Zhang Chengye saw an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and he began to think that Liang Suici, like those he had met, was not optimistic about his relationship with Li Xi, and felt that Liang Suici was really terrifying, and he could keep Li Xi hanging willingly and deeply. I feel that he is the best person in the world, so when the two divorced, they even wanted to open red wine to celebrate, only when he was a child and finally saw the true face of this person...
Because he had never met such a person in his life, he subconsciously did not believe that such a person existed.
It's just that in the current situation, he can't say who has paid more for their relationship.
Zhang Chengye suppressed those unnecessary emotions and picked a big red apple from the fruit basket, "Don't say it, this fruit basket is really expensive, and I don't know if it's taking my money, I looked at that Five yuan a pound in the supermarket doesn't make any difference."
"In your situation, you have to eat the fruit. I'll wash one for you... By the way, why didn't I see Li Xi..." Zhang Chengye took one for himself after thinking about it, and went to the bathroom to rinse with water together. .
When he came back and handed it to Chu Yan, he also wiped off the wet water on it with a paper towel.
Chu Yan took the apple from him and thanked him, and replied, "He went down to get the medicine."
Zhang Chengye pulled up a chair and sat in front of the bed, and asked seriously, "I asked Li Xi last time, and he said you haven't planned to tell your family about this yet?"
"Um……"
Zhang Chengye looked at him quietly, "You should know that the success rate of matching between relatives will be half."
"But there is the other half... You know, I may live for a long time, and maybe die from a sudden infection tomorrow... If they find out if the matching is unsuccessful, it's just one more person suffering from waiting. That's all..."
Zhang Chengye thought to himself, that's why you didn't dare to tell Li Xi... He let out a breath, "You just think too much... Why don't you think about things for the better, in case it succeeds? Woolen cloth?"
——
In the end, Zhang Chengye came up with an idea, not to tell Liang Fangyuan about Chu Yan's condition, but to let the hospital call to tell her that there is a leukemia patient here who is very similar to her, and asked her if she would like to come and have a look. For related examinations, if the matching is successful, the patient's family is willing to pay her a high remuneration, and even if the matching is unsuccessful, she will also pay for her round-trip transportation and accommodation.
Being able to do good deeds and earn money, and to drop by M City to see his younger brother, Liang Fangyuan naturally has nothing to refuse.
On the day Liang Fangyuan arrived, Chu Yan told her that a friend would pick her up and gave her Li Xi's contact information.
Liang Fangyuan smiled, "What trouble your friend, give me the address directly, I'll just call."
"By the way, Maomao, come and have a word with uncle."
Mao Mao answered the phone and called out sweetly, "Uncle!"
"Uncle, I miss you so much!" The child's voice seemed to have a strong contagion inherent in it, which made people feel better along with it.
Chu Yan smiled, "Uncle also misses Mao Mao very much, I'll see you later."
The appointment was at the gate of the station at 10:40 in the morning. When Liang Fangyuan arrived, he saw the person mentioned by his younger brother at a glance. One was because he had seen it in the photos, and the other was that there was something in the crowd that he couldn't tell. conspicuous.
It's not about how he dresses... Although he looks very young, he looks like he is in his twenties, but he has a calm aura that cannot be ignored.
Li Xi looked around in the crowd, then his eyes were fixed, and he strode towards Liang Fangyuan.
After walking in, Liang Fangyuan could see his facial features more clearly, with deep eyebrows and a straight nose, deep facial features, neat black short hair, a very handsome young man.
Liang Fangyuan fell down with a smile, "Is that Xiao Li? I heard him mention you, so I will trouble you today."
After hearing her words, Li Xi hurriedly shook his head and took her luggage over, "No trouble, no trouble."
Speaking of which, this was the first time Li Xi had seen Liang Suici's family. He had always had the idea to meet him before, but that person never agreed.
When she got to the car, Li Xi opened the car door for her again. Liang Fangyuan had only rarely seen such a gentleman's behavior, and thought that this young man was quite polite.
"Little Li, does your family live in City M? What kind of work do you do in City M? Are you also a doctor?"
While paying attention to the road conditions, Li Xi replied, "Yes. My home is here, but I'm not a doctor. Now I work in the company."
Liang Fangyuan chatted with him for a while, and the other party all had questions and answers.
Mao Mao saw Chu Yan waiting at the gate of the community from a distance, and regardless of his mother telling him to slow down, he ran over and hugged Chu Yan's calf.
"Are you tired from the car?" Chu Yan squatted down and pinched Mao Mao's fleshy cheeks, and said with a smile, "Sister, I think Mao Mao has grown a little taller."
"Baby, it's the same every day."
"Uncle, hug." Mao Mao opened his hand, and when he spoke, his little hand was already on Chu Yan's shoulder.
"You know how old you are, you can go by yourself." Liang Fangyuan laughed and scolded in a helpless tone, but his eyes were full of doting.
How dare Li Xi let a person who has just been discharged from the hospital hold the child, and quickly coaxes him, "Maomao, how about Uncle Li holding you?"
After he finished speaking, whether he wanted it or not, he grabbed him with one hand and hugged him in his arms.
His movements were so fast that both Liang Fangyuan and Chu Yan were startled. But Mao Mao seemed to be very happy as long as someone hugged him, and soon forgot to ask Chu Yan to hug him.
——
The next morning, Liang Fangyuan didn't eat breakfast because of the need for matching, and it was the hospital that Li Xi sent him to.
Zhang Chengye was very excited when he saw Liang Fangyuan, he took her hand and said that as long as he could match the shape, he would be his cousin's savior.
The waiting process is always extremely long, and every minute and every second seems to be frozen.
Li Xi buried his face in the palm of his hand, and sat motionless on the hospital bench, his back collapsed tightly, and his whole body was as stiff as a rock, as if he was waiting for the judgment of some fate.
Zhang Chengye sighed, walked over and patted his shoulder, "Don't be nervous."
——I don’t know how long it took, the door of the laboratory was pushed open.
Almost at the same second, Li Xi suddenly raised his head, and the doctor took off his mask with a regretful look in his eyes.
Zhang Chengye didn't have to wait for him to speak, just this look made it clear.
Li Xi stood up slowly, and the doctor handed him the test sheet, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li."
