Chapter 98
byChapter 75
When he woke up early the next morning, Pei Yusheng didn't get up in a hurry as usual, but hugged the boy in his arms, listened to the other person's light breathing, and quietly waited for someone to wake up.
But this time, there was a vibration that broke the tranquility of this morning.
It was Pei Yusheng's phone that rang.
Qi Ji hadn't woken up yet, and Pei Yusheng didn't intend to answer, but when he saw the name displayed on the screen, he paused and picked up the phone anyway.
The call was from his uncle.
Although Pei Yusheng has cut ties with the Pei family, most of this breakup is still between Pei Yusheng and his father. As for the other parents, most of Pei Yusheng's relationship with them is the same as before. Especially for this uncle who is a lieutenant general, Pei Yusheng has always been quite respectful.
In addition, Pei Xiaoying was busy with her affairs and would not call her easily, so Pei Yusheng did not delay.
And this phone call is really not a trivial matter.
Following Huashan Hospital in City S, Harmony Hospital in City B also received news of fatal familial insomnia. Speaking of this disease, the man who was resolute and forbearing and had been in a high position for many years couldn't help but lower his voice.
"Yu Sheng, this is a familial genetic disease, and it is very difficult to treat."
Pei Yusheng, who had listened to it silently, did not have any special reaction. He only responded in a low voice, which made Uncle Pei begin to wonder if he didn't understand his words.
But Pei Yusheng said, "I understand, uncle, I will arrange an examination for myself in two days."
Uncle Pei sighed.
Where is it enough to check by yourself?
He said: "Moscow has sent all the case files of your uncle and grandfather, and Harmony has set up an expert group. You are in City S, and it is still not convenient for you to return to City B."
Uncle Pei also thought twice about whether to tell Pei Yusheng about this. Pei Yusheng was young and had time to think about it, but his father, Pei Xiaolin, couldn't wait.
"Your dad has been hospitalized. I pushed his work away and focused on cooperating with the inspection. Yu Sheng, how about you?"
Pei Yusheng was silent for a moment, but still said: "I'm not in a hurry, uncle. There are people from Grandpa on Hua Shan's side, and those inspections should also be done. Besides, I can't leave the work on Xinghai's side for the time being."
Uncle Pei didn't force it: "Then you go to Huashan for an inspection today, and I'll ask the driver to pick you up."
Speaking of which, Pei Yusheng could no longer refuse. He responded: "Okay."
"Your health is more important now, and your work is not as important as your health," Uncle Pei paused and said, "You. Mom, I will tell them that you don't have to worry about it."
"Okay, thank you uncle." Pei Yu said, "you too, take care of your health."
The phone hung up, and the screen was pitch black, reflecting Pei Yusheng's expressionless face.
The boy beside him had already woken up, and quietly took back the hands that were holding Pei Yusheng. He rubbed his eyes, and his voice was still soft and nasal when he first woke up.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Yusheng's expression was normal, as if nothing had happened: "It's alright, let's get some more sleep."
Qi Ji did not continue to sleep, but turned over and sat up to look at the sleep recorder that he had been thinking about all the time.
Before he could read the sleep record last night, Pei Yusheng received another call.
The call was from someone arranged by Pei Xiaoying. After hanging up, Pei Yusheng got up and said, "I want to go out early today, and let the driver take you to the subway station later."
Qi Ji was a little surprised: "Are you going now, without breakfast?"
"Time is a bit tight, I'm on the road to eat." Pei Yu said.
He already had a lot of work today, and with an additional inspection, the time was even more limited.
Qi Ji sent the person to the door of the villa: "Be careful on the road!"
"Okay." Pei Yusheng rubbed his hair, "You too."
As soon as he went out, Pei Yusheng got into the car that came to pick him up.
"Second Young Master." The driver said respectfully.
Pei Yusheng: "Let's go."
His reaction was as usual, as if he had never been aware of the terribly fatal disease.
Regarding illness, Pei Yusheng was surprisingly calm.
Having suffered from insomnia for so many years, Pei Yusheng has thought far more deeply than others imagined.
In countless long nights, he had long thought that this day would come.
But Pei Yusheng didn't care, but others didn't think so. As soon as he arrived at the hospital, Pei Yusheng was taken by the arranged staff for a fairly complicated comprehensive examination.
Cases of fatal familial insomnia are too rare. In the past 100 years, there have only been dozens of cases in the world, and many of them have not left any useful information. Because the relevant information is too scarce, and it is easy to be misdiagnosed as ordinary sleep disorders and mental weakness, most patients are diagnosed after a long period of time after the attack, and the experience of pre-examination is even less.
Therefore, the examination that Pei Yusheng has to face now is also very complicated. This process is quite long, and in order to make sure nothing goes wrong, it needs to go through repeated rounds of inspection and confirmation.
Pei Yusheng cooperated with the repeated inspections at first, but gradually became bored.
For potential patients, this medical examination is not only a physical test, but also a psychological torture. With the enrichment of cases and the in-depth examination, fatal familial insomnia has increasingly revealed its terribleness to the examiners.
High heritability, high lethality, irreversible lesions, no effective treatment, and even no way of remission...
These descriptions alone are enough to make onlookers tremble.
But no matter how they put themselves in their shoes, others can't feel the same way. Only those who have been tortured by insomnia for a long time can truly appreciate the cruelty of this disease.
No matter how much Pei Yusheng didn't care, he wasn't made of steel, so he couldn't be unaffected at all.
For so many years, Pei Yusheng could not count how many days and nights he suffered from insomnia. If not, he would not often go to the beach in the middle of the night to see the sea.
Before, Lian Qing and the others mistakenly thought that Pei Yusheng often ran to the beach alone because of Wen Chuming's death in the sea. But that's not the case. It's just because the long sleepless night was too hard, that Pei Yusheng went to the beach to be quiet.
In the dark and long night, only the undulating waves can wash away a little haze.
And no matter how serious the previous insomnia was, it was only a month at most. After the out-of-control attack, Pei Yusheng could also fall asleep because of exhaustion.
But in those bloody cases, the patients were unable to sleep for more than half a year, and in the end, they were already withered and gray-black, like walking dead.
For them, death is a relief.
Others may only feel terrible when they see this case. After all, ordinary people have had a splitting headache and unsustainable insomnia for more than two days. How can they imagine the pain of insomnia for several months or even a year?
But Pei Yusheng is the person who understands the taste of insomnia best. Even if he has only read the written description on the case, he can almost already visualize the terrifying pain.
No one is unstoppable.
No matter how determined people are, they are also flesh and blood.
A little in-depth inspection, these psychological tortures also wear down the defense line a little bit. If Qi Ji had not helped him minimize the pain of insomnia, it would be difficult for Pei Yusheng to imagine his current state.
Work, and the arrangements made for Qi Ji in advance, are Pei Yusheng's only way to ease himself.
But as the inspection continued, another kind of discussion began to make Pei Yusheng more and more unable to ignore.
Pei Xiaolin has been admitted to the hospital. The Pei family is worried about the accident, so they want Pei Yusheng to return to City B for treatment. After all, the best medical resources are still concentrated in City B. But Pei Yusheng didn't want to return to such a depressing environment. After several persuasion from the Pei family, he couldn't let him go back.
So the Pei family retreated and began to arrange more and more people to take care of Pei Yusheng.
The public hospitals in China are still the strongest, so this inspection and follow-up treatment are still led by the Pei family.
Besides, it was about Pei Yusheng, and the Xu family was also quite nervous.
Being guarded by the two families, Pei Yusheng was followed by a large group of people wherever he went, for fear that he would make a mistake. After following him for a long time, Pei Yusheng also became irritable.
Pei Yusheng has never cared much about other people's opinions. It's not that he never played a playboy before. When he was most famous, many people used to be afraid of him.
But those are not the same this time.
The cruel experience after the onset of the disease still had an impact on Pei Yusheng, and he gradually began to get tired of the cautious attitude of the people around him. Because Pei Yusheng refused to be admitted to the hospital for treatment, the people sent by the Pei family provided close protection almost 24 hours a day, and in this protection without any room for respite, everyone around him was extremely careful about him, as if they were treating a terminally ill, A dying man with a short life.
What was most unbearable for Pei Yusheng was the inadvertently shown pity of those in the know.
What a proud person he is, how could he bear the pity of others.
With the passage of time, this disgust and irritability gradually accumulated to the peak. When the bodyguard followed the whole process to sign the contract, Pei Yusheng returned to the company and was about to ask the special assistant to notify the executives for a meeting, but the phone was just picked up. , but automatically connected to the sanatorium, and suggested that he rest for a while.
Pei Yusheng finally dropped the phone.
The landline that was originally placed on the desk flew far away, smashed onto the sofa, and fell down, making a "beep, beep" noise from the receiver. Pei Yusheng looked blankly at the bodyguard who rushed into the office because of the loud noise, and said coldly, "The surveillance has been withdrawn, and everyone will get out of here."
The special assistant who arrived after hearing the sound wanted to explain something, but Pei Yusheng didn't want to hear a word.
"Even if I do get sick, I'm not going to die now."
He speaks like ice.
"go out."
Even if it is really diagnosed, it is Pei Yusheng's own business. Over the years, he has never complained to anyone about his suffering. Even when he was the most difficult, he just went to the beach to sit all night.
Why did these people jump out of the high ground to pity him and keep saying good for him?
Forced by his momentum, the special assistant and bodyguard had to retreat first.
But as soon as the meeting was over, Pei Yusheng returned to the office, and saw that he had been re-packed into the clean and clean office to be in the living room, and two doctors came with big bags and small bags.
Afraid that Pei Yusheng would not go for today's examination if he was angry, the Pei family directly invited a doctor to come and record the data for him.
Pei Yusheng was about to laugh angrily.
After the inspection, there was another business meeting. By the time Pei Yusheng returned to the villa, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
It's not too late for him, who has been running around for a few days. Because of his illness check and busy work, Pei Yusheng hasn't been able to go home for several days.
Today, Pei Yusheng didn't say whether he would come back. He was away for several days. He originally thought that Qi Ji would go home to take care of his younger brother, but he didn't expect to see the lights in the villa as soon as the car approached.
The hired cleaners and gardeners do not live in the villa, and only Qi Ji can turn on the lights in the villa at this time.
Standing beside the car and looking at the warm yellow soft light, Pei Yusheng was silent for a while.
After a long time, he raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
He didn't come back these days. Apart from lack of time, there was also a reason for not sorting out his thoughts.
Just like on the phone with Mother Pei these days, Pei Yusheng would hang up after a few short answers and never talk much.
The torture deepened, and in front of the people he cared about most, he couldn't take it easy.
But even so, seeing Qi Ji waiting for him at home, Pei Yusheng's mood was still relieved a lot.
Qi sent him even more power than he imagined.
Pei Yusheng pushed open the door and went in, and found that the living room was empty, and there was no one. Instead, there were some noises coming from the open kitchen from time to time.
He changed his slippers at the entrance, and saw Qi Ji walking out when he heard the door open.
The boy was wearing a warm yellow home clothes and fluffy slippers. On this cold winter night, it was like a sudden spring.
Something hit Pei Yusheng's heart lightly.
Not expecting him to come back, the boy was also a little surprised: "Mr. Pei?"
Pei Yusheng took off the scarf and walked indoors: "Well, I'm back."
He saw Qi Ji was wearing an apron and was holding a pair of chopsticks, and asked, "Have you just eaten?"
"I've eaten..." Qi Ji squeezed his chopsticks nervously and said, "I'm cooking noodles."
Pei Yusheng asked, "Night supper? Don't you have something ready to eat at home?"
Qi Ji shook his head: "Yes, it's practice."
I didn't expect him to come back suddenly, the boy seemed a little flustered.
Pei Yu raised his eyebrows: "Practice?"
When he walked into the kitchen, he saw that there were some long and short noodles on the panel that had not been put away, which were obviously failed products. The pot not far away was still on fire, and there were white stripes rolling in it. Two bowls were set up, and the bowls were soaked in batter-like things.
Pei Yusheng got a little closer, only to realize that the strips in the pot were actually noodles. Because the thickness was not uniform, they were half-cooked, and some parts were still sticking together, so they couldn't be separated.
The two bowls next to it were not batter, but cooked noodles, just because they were not cooked successfully, after a long time they soaked up water and looked like a whole bowl of batter.
Qi Ji also walked over. Seeing this, he felt even more embarrassed. He hurriedly reached out and turned off the power of the pot.
"This is the hand-rolled noodles that I learned from Aunt Lin. There is only one piece of noodles in a bowl, but it seems that it has not been successful..." Qi Ji was a little embarrassed, "I'll clean up this place, it will be fine soon."
He hurriedly wanted to destroy the corpse and clean up the scene, but was hugged from behind.
The shoulders sank slightly, and the man put his chin against Qi Ji's neck.
Qi Ji's breathing stagnated, and then he did not move any more, only the sound of the other party's shallow breathing fell gently on his ear.
After a long time, Qi Jicai asked softly, "Is Mr. Pei tired?"
The man holding him moved and adjusted to a more comfortable position: "It's okay."
Qi Ji covered the back of the other party's hand wrapped around his waist: "Let's rest early today."
Pei Yu replied in a low voice, "Yeah.\"
Qi Ji hesitated for a while, but said, "I heard from Dr. Zhao that Mr. Pei was a little unhappy today."
The person who came to examine Pei Yusheng today was the doctor in Zhao Mingzhen's team.
Pei Yusheng didn't speak, it was a default.
Qi Ji couldn't help but hesitate.
He actually didn't know how to comfort each other. Qi Ji was never good at this. He knew that Pei Yusheng didn't like that kind of excessive attention, but Qi Ji himself was also a member of the attention.
Qi Ji didn't want to let Pei Yusheng think too much. He knew that the other party had always been tough, but sick people were always vulnerable and needed more careful attention. Qi Ji didn't want to make Mr. Pei mistakenly think that he was deliberately treating him because he might get sick.
Qi Ji didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only use his chopsticks to fiddle with the noodles that could not be seen in the pot, and said.
"Maybe many things will change, such as other people's views, such as future design... After all, the world is always developing. But some things will definitely not change, such as my cooking has always been so bad..."
Pei Yusheng laughed, and a warm breath hit Qi Ji's neck.
Qi Ji was still trying to finish the last sentence.
"For example, you will always be the most powerful Mr. Pei."
The word "Sir" came out, and it fell into another person's breath.
Pei Yusheng said nothing.
He kissed directly.
Outside the window, the night was windy, and under the dark night, crystal snowflakes suddenly floated.
This is the first snow of this winter.
Ruixue is a good year.
