Their lives went on like this with occasional twists and turns.

There was no lack of "mutual help" during this period. Although Chao Ci was very resistant at first, he became numb after many times. Helping each other is better than using real weapons.

I endured it, and the so-called one-year appointment was already halfway through.

That day, Chao Ci went to work as usual, but suddenly he received a bolt from the blue.

His father suddenly fainted and was sent to the hospital for examination. The doctor said he had a large brain tumor.

It was too close to the artery and difficult to cut. But if it was not cut, the brain tumor would also compress the artery and brain, and his father's life would be in danger at any time.

On the other side of the phone, his mother was crying and telling him, her voice almost choked with sobs.

Chao Ci also felt that his vision went dark.

"The doctor said that your dad's condition is rare and very difficult. Only Director Hu Yongcheng of xx Hospital in China can perform this surgery. But there are too many people waiting for Director Hu's life-saving treatment, and there is no way to get in line..."

Chao Mu burst into tears.

…

After ending the call, Chao Ci looked in a daze.

After returning home, He Lu was already at home. After seeing him come back, he talked to him a lot, but Chao Ci didn't respond at all.

He quickly noticed something was wrong with Chao Ci and became worried: "A Ci, what's wrong with you?"

"What happened?"

Chao Ci looked at He Lu dumbly, feeling that the other person's lips were opening and closing, but could not hear clearly what he was saying.

No matter how difficult things were before, Chao Ci never thought of looking for He Lu.

He originally wanted to wait until one year was up before completely breaking off the relationship with He Lu.

but……

Maybe he still needs to be lucky... At this time, there is still a Helu who is stalking him.

Otherwise, not to mention selling his dignity and freedom, I am afraid that he will shed all his blood and tears and watch his home fall into pieces.

The look on his face when he looked at Helu finally had a little more energy.

"He Lu..." There was finally some sparkle in his empty eyes.

He told He Lu all about the situation, and finally whispered: "So, can you..."

Before Chao Ci could finish his request, He Lu held his hands and said, "Don't worry A Ci, I will find a solution. Uncle will be fine."

His eyes were full of sincerity and distress.

Chao Ci was speechless for a moment.

He didn't expect He Lu to agree so simply. He thought He Lu would use this as a bargaining chip to put forward some excessive conditions - just like Zhao Luojing did that time.

He had also thought that no matter what conditions He Lu proposed, he would agree to them and would not blame him.

A serious illness can destroy a family.

What Chao Ci lacked was not money. He sold his current house, which had not yet paid off the loan, and was able to raise two million. His parents still had two old houses in their hometown, which were also worth more than one million. Think again.

It's not a problem to borrow some money from relatives and friends to raise five million.

But Chaofu's situation is too special. Their family has no connections at that level. Based on the ranking alone, they don't know how many years it will take to wait for Director Hu to perform surgery on them.

But in Chaofu's case, he can only wait a month at most.

"Thank you..." Chao Ci couldn't help but choked up, "Thank you very much. If I can do anything for you..."

"Good boy, don't think too much." He Lu put his hands on both sides of his cheeks, "It's okay, uncle and aunt's affairs are my business. You drink some water and calm down first, I'll call and ask about the situation, okay?

?”

As he spoke, he poured a glass of water for Chao Ci, who subconsciously held it in his hand.

He was still saying that He Lu was becoming more and more like a child, but at this time, Chao Ci, who was eight years older than him, was like a child without a care in the world, while He Lu was written and reliable enough.

He Lu had already gone out and made a phone call.

Chao Ci sat on the sofa and waited anxiously. Every minute and every second was stretched to an absurd length.

He Lu stayed outside for a long time, more than half an hour, and made several phone calls.

Then he returned to the living room and sat next to Chao Ci.

"Director Hu is indeed temporarily unavailable, and several patients in the queue behind him are also waiting for him."

Before Chao Ci's expression darkened, He Lu said with a smile: "But don't worry, only Director Hu can do this surgery in China, but Professor Hans from Germany is not bad at brain tumors. And his team's equipment is more advanced.

, I just contacted him, and within five days he and his team can arrive in the country to perform surgery on my uncle."

"I just sent my uncle's case to Dr. Hans. He said he was more than 90% sure. Don't worry, Aci."

Chao Ci's face was full of joy at being saved from a desperate situation. He was overjoyed, but his eyes suddenly turned red. The fear and grief that had been suppressed before all exploded at this moment.

"Thank you, really thank you..." He lowered his head, tears falling from his fingers.

He Lu hugged him into his arms, patted his back and comforted him: "It's okay, everything will be fine."

…

Chao Ci asked for half a month's leave from the company and went directly to his hometown.

What he didn't expect was that He Lu also took half a month's leave with him and went back with him.

Everything this time depends entirely on He Lu, and Chao Ci has no reason to stop He Lu from coming.

Chao Ci also explained the situation to his mother on the phone. Chao's mother was busy taking care of Chao's father in the hospital, so she didn't come to pick him up. However, as soon as they were admitted to the hospital, Chao's mother was eager and grateful when she saw He Lu.

"You are Xiaolu, right? Aci told me all this. Thank you so much this time. Without you, our whole family doesn't know what we would do..."

The three of them were outside the ward. Chao Ci looked at Chao Ci holding He Lu's hand and talking nonchalantly, and actually felt in a good mood.

He walked quietly into the ward, where his father was still asleep on an intravenous drip.

Chao Ci held Chao's father's hand, and there was a faint smell of disinfectant on the tip of his nose. There was a vast expanse of white in front of his eyes, but he did not feel despair or palpitations.

…

Doctor Hans and his team also arrived on the fourth day after Chao Ci and He Lu arrived in Province Z.

After they met Chao's father, they worked hard to plan the operation, and the operation would be performed on the third day.

After all, Chaofu's situation will become more dangerous if it is delayed for one day.

A group of them sat outside the operating room all day long, and finally got the good news.

The operation was successful.

Chao Ci felt relieved.

…………

I asked for half a month's leave, but finally extended it for another five days because I wanted to take more care of my parents.

Fortunately, he had never taken a vacation before, and the vacation he had saved could barely support him. He Lu also followed Chao Ci and stayed in Z Province for twenty days.

Chao's father had always been the backbone of the family, but suddenly he fell. Chao's mother was old and mentally weak. After this bad news, she was even more confused. All the big and small things in the family fell on Chao Ci.

He was so busy that if He Lu hadn't helped him, he might have collapsed.

The night before the two returned to S city, Chao Mu took Chao Ci and talked for a long time.

"Xiao Ci, isn't that Xiao Lu your friend?" Chao Mu asked.

No matter how good a friend is, the best he can do is help him find connections and find a doctor. How can there be someone like He Lu who stayed with me for twenty days and worked hard together?

After all, the times have become more open, and Chao Mu has also heard about homosexuality. She used to feel far away from her, but in the past few days, she has realized that it is not far away at all. The look on He Lu's face when he saw Chao Ci was too enthusiastic.

After all, Chao Mu is someone who has been here before, she can tell.

Chao Mu asked hesitantly: "Does he... like you?"

Chao Ci was startled, looked at his mother's calm and tolerant expression, and finally nodded slowly.

"Then Xiaoci, do you like him? He said he likes you, but there is always no free lunch. Our family has troubled him so much this time. Did he make any requests to you?" Chao Mu looked at her.
