The fragrant boiled fish is as delicious as ever. The spiciness and sweetness dance on the tip of the tongue. The tender fish skin and fresh and smooth fish fillets are delicious in the mouth.
Chu Qiao was holding a small porcelain bowl and eating contentedly. Her almond-shaped eyes were half-closed and her cheeks were pink, like a little kitten enjoying herself. She made her words clear to Yan Xi, and they could continue to be friends. They could still do it.
It feels so good to sit and eat together like friends...
Meng Yanxi's eyes have been falling on Chu Qiao's little face, watching every subtle expression of hers. Whether it's the way she sticks out her tongue when she's burned, or the way she licks her lips because she's so hot, he can always see it.
Very fascinated. Meng Yanxi just looked at it and felt very happy, and her whole heart was filled to the top.
"You seem to really like the boiled fish here..."
"Yeah!" Chu Qiao took advantage of the break of eating fish, slightly raised the corner of her mouth, and gave a smile: "When I am the most tired and miserable, I will want to come here and eat the boiled fish here. The water here
The amount of cooked fish is large, the price is very cheap, and it’s super spicy. It’s so enjoyable that when it’s spicy, no one will notice it even if it sheds tears!”
Meng Yanxi immediately thought of the words of the landlady, and how Chu Qiao looked when she came to Ruyi Restaurant for the first time. Are you trying to be brave? Even if she even sheds tears, will she still be brave? His eyes were fixed on the smile on Chu Qiao's lips,
I just felt like a knife had cut a hole in my heart, and for a moment I just felt empty.
After eating for a while, Chu Qiao's cell phone rang.
"What kind of love is lurking in the future? There is a person holding a number plate. The love who gave me has not arrived yet..."
Chu Qiao took out her mobile phone from her bag and smiled bitterly at Meng Yanxi: "Yanxi, I'm sorry, I'll answer a call first." As he spoke, he pressed the call button.
"Hello."
"Excuse me, is this Miss Chu? I'm Dr. Hao... Your father's blood pressure suddenly dropped and his heart rate dropped just now."
"What? What happened to my dad? Doctor Hao, tell me, what happened to my dad?" Chu Qiao's voice trembled. She couldn't understand what blood pressure and heart rate were. But she knew that Dr. Hao's words meant
She was not optimistic about her father's illness. Her mind suddenly went blank and she seemed unable to think of anything.
"Ms. Chu, please calm down first. Fortunately, the nurse found it early and your father received timely first aid and is temporarily out of danger. However, if your father still can't wait for a transplantable kidney in one or two months, even if
I'm afraid I won't be able to survive with the current medications and physical therapy. Miss Chu, I think I should tell you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared."
"I...I understand. Thank you Dr. Hao..." Chu Qiao's answer could not be connected into one sentence, and she spoke intermittently. After finishing speaking, her fingers were trembling, and it was difficult to press the interrupt button.
"Yan Xi, do you think I'm useless?" Chu Qiao put her phone on the table and opened her almond eyes wide. Her almond eyes were clear and bright, and crystal tears snaked down from the corners of her eyes and fell on her eyes.
In a small porcelain bowl.
"At the beginning, I didn't have money to treat my father's illness and surgery. I worked hard to make money, but even if I worked more than ten hours a day, I couldn't raise the cost of my father's treatment. I never felt that I had money before.
How important it is, but at that time, I knew what it was like to have no money. In desperation, I sold myself to Yanchen, and now I have money. However, I still can't operate on my father. I am obviously his daughter,
But nothing can be done... Dr. Hao said that if a kidney that can be replaced is not available within one or two months, dad will not be able to survive..."
Meng Yanxi's pupils suffocated, and in an instant, the warm smile on her lips was suppressed.
This was the dilemma Chu Qiao once faced. This was the reason why she had to humbly tell a stranger to buy her. And what exactly did he do? If he had helped her when she was desperate, would she be where she is now?
Wouldn't it be so painful?
"Mental preparation? I don't want to be mentally prepared...My mother left me when I was very young. I can't live without my father..." The tears had burst and fell down in big drops. She had tried her best, but she
But I don't want this to still be the result.
Chu Qiao suddenly stood up from her seat, turned around and ran out of Ruyi Restaurant.
Meng Yanxi hurriedly took out a few hundred-dollar bills from her wallet and put them on the table, and caught up with Chu Qiao who ran out.
When the lady boss saw the money on the table, she shouted: "Oh! How come you need so much money to cook fish in a big basin of water?" Her voice became smaller and smaller. Why did Chu Qiao suddenly cry so sadly? Could it be that it cost so much money?
Was it the handsome young man who caused this? Hey, that young man said he liked Chu Qiao just now! How could he make Chu Qiao cry in just a short time?
Thinking about it, the landlady put the money away. Seeing them disappear at the door of the store, she had no choice but to return the extra money to them the next time she met them.
?"Chu Qiao, Chu Qiao, walk slowly..."
Chu Qiao walked very fast. As she walked, she started to trot. She lowered her head and didn't look at the road at all.
"Chu Qiao, be careful!" Meng Yanxi saw Chu Qiao crossing the road without looking at the traffic lights. It happened that a heavy motorcycle was coming towards Chu Qiao.
"Danger!" Meng Yanxi rushed forward and quickly hooked Chu Qiao's arm to prevent the motorcycle from rubbing against her. The motorcycle was going very fast, and if it did rub against her, she would be broken anyway. He
Pulling Chu Qiao back to the sidewalk, she saw that the motorcycle was about to hit her, and she felt like she had lost all her soul.
"Chu Qiao! Why don't you look at the road!" Meng Yanxi was so gentle that she almost yelled at Chu Qiao.
"I want to see my father, I want to see my father... Yanxi, can you take me to the hospital?" Chu Qiao's voice was filled with tears and her eyes were red and swollen. She can work hard to cure her father's disease.
, no matter what you do, even if you sell your body, even if you sell your dignity. However, if the belief and spiritual support for working hard collapse, the pain that is so desolate and desperate will be heavy.
Knock her down.
Meng Yanxi wiped away the tears on Chu Qiao's face distressedly. It was obviously not him who was crying, but she felt that looking at her tears made her heart hurt...
"Okay, Chu Qiao. I'll take you to the hospital." Meng Yanxi coaxed Chu Qiao gently: "I'll drive. You stand here and wait for me for a while. I will drive over soon!"
Chu Qiao nodded subconsciously.
When Chu Qiao was most sad, she subconsciously thought of Meng Yanchen. She clutched her phone and pressed Meng Yanchen's phone number.
"The number you dialed is currently on a call, please call again later..."
Chu Qiao was startled, but subconsciously she hung up the phone and redialled. She hung up and redialed, redialed and hung up again. Chu Qiao never heard Meng Yanchen's voice, and her heart became cold a little bit.
.
He must be very busy and has no time to care about her.
However, Chu Qiao never gave up redialing the phone until Meng Yanxi's Maybach stopped next to her.
Only then did Chu Qiao turn her attention from the phone to Meng Yanxi. When she saw Meng Yanxi, she could not help but feel dizzy and had the illusion that the person driving to pick her up was not Yanxi but Yanxi.
Chen. But after squinting carefully, she saw clearly that the person sitting in the car was Meng Yanxi. She could only admit her mistake once, not a second time.
Meng Yanxi walked out of the Maybach and helped Chu Qiao open the door.
"Thank you..." Chu Qiao said softly as she walked into the passenger seat.
"You forgot what I said. Good friends don't have to say thank you..."
The car drove all the way to Renai Hospital.
After getting off the car, Meng Yanxi walked with Chu Qiao to the advanced ward of the renal department.
The pungent smell of disinfectant went straight into the nose, and just smelling it made her stomach hurt. Chu Qiao opened the door of the ward and saw her father lying on the hospital bed. He had lost a lot of weight.
, who was originally a bit fat, is now so thin that even his cheekbones protrude, his face is pale, and he has many tubes for electronic instruments inserted into his body.
She is not a fool, it is not that she doesn't know that her father's illness is getting worse day by day. It's just that she refuses to face the reality and is still thinking that maybe she can just wait. Maybe if she waits a little longer, her father will be able to wait for a kidney that can be replaced.
"Xiangxue...Xiangxue..."
Chu Qiao stood in front of the hospital bed. Her pupils shrank when she heard the name. Xiangxue, Li Xiangxue, is Aunt Xue.
"Dad, do you miss Aunt Xue?" Chu Qiao held Chu Jingwu's hand and asked quietly.
Chu Jingwu was conscious, but very weak. He seemed unable to hear what Chu Qiao said, but kept mumbling and repeating Aunt Xue's name. Chu Qiao let go of his father's hand, and pressed his teeth tightly against his lips, sinking his teeth into the flesh of his lips.
Go up and bite until the blood comes out.
Now, what dad wants to see is Aunt Xue...
Chu Qiao wiped the tears on her face and smiled bitterly at Meng Yanxi beside her: "Yanxi, even if you say that friends don't need to say thank you, I still want to say thank you for caring about me.
Thank you for bringing me to the hospital. It should be past lunch break now, Yan Xi, please go back to Meng's first! I will handle the rest myself." She can't always trouble Yan Xi. She and he are just friends.
, he shouldn't give her too much care.
Meng Yanxi's phoenix eyes were dark and shimmering: "Since we are friends, let me accompany you! I can't worry about you..." The last sentence he said was like a sigh. He originally wanted to tell Chu
Chu Qiao was taken back from his brother, but now, he just wants to take good care of her and doesn't want Chu Qiao to give anything in return.
I can’t worry...
Chu Qiao thought for a moment, then raised a weak smile: "Yan Xi, I want to find Aunt Xue now. Whether she wants to see her father or not, but he really wants to see her... I don't know what I can do for my father.
What have you done... Maybe this is one of the few things I can do for my father..."
