After Wang Shiyu was silent for a while, he said: "I can't say this. [??????.??????5?2?0?.??????] In short, if it's him The diagnosis of his condition was correct, and he was able to survive for more than a year, which is a miracle in medicine. I am also very curious about how he did this. Therefore, it is best to let him come to our hospital for another detailed examination. "
After Shen Lin heard her admitting that this was a miracle again, the mood that was about to collapse before finally eased, as if she had grasped the last life-saving straw.
"Thank you. He has been hiding his illness from me and has never wanted me to know. Therefore, I don't want to tell him about it yet, and I hope you can keep it secret for me. I don't want too many people to know about it. .”
"Of course. I won't tell anyone about this, so don't worry. But don't you want him to come to the hospital for a checkup?"
Wang Shiyu asked with some regret.
Shen Lin asked: "Since he is fine so far and is still alive and healthy, why should I let him go to the hospital for a check-up?"
The disease Chen Feng diagnosed was terminal, and Wang Shiyu said that according to the hospital's diagnosis, he would not live for more than half a year, so why should he go to the hospital for examination?
Even if he really wants to go for examination and treatment, it is impossible to go back to the hospital where Wang Shiyu is located. What is the use of going for examination? This hospital is not capable of treating this disease, so should it be sent for experiments and research?
Shen Lin was still very clear-headed in this regard, so she politely rejected Wang Shiyu's kindness.
"Then can you find out how your husband's disease was controlled? Did he go to the most advanced hospital abroad?"
Wang Shiyu is really curious. Although she is not an oncologist, she has studied medicine for many years and must have an inquiring mind about medical miracles.
"I don't know about this either, and it's hard to ask him directly now. Anyway, thank you this time."
Shen Lin didn't want to talk to her anymore. Although she was a doctor, she was not a professional doctor. Every time she told her about Chen Feng's condition, Shen Lin's heart ached and she wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.
"Linlin, let me ask you and your husband to meet you another day. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I don't know your husband yet."
It was hard for Shen Lin to refuse this. After all, they were classmates and had a good relationship with each other before. The main reason was that the two of them actually didn't live very far from each other. If they really wanted to meet, they could meet up in twenty or thirty minutes' drive at most.
"Okay, let's meet up another day when we are both free."
Shen Lin had no choice but to say this.
Wang Shiyu immediately answered: "Okay, then this Saturday is okay? The day after tomorrow."
Shen Lin was stunned for a moment, then said: "Then I need to communicate with him first."
"Then you tell him later that our old classmates will come out to meet each other and let me get to know your husband by the way."
Shen Lin knew that she was still curious about why Chen Feng could live for so long after suffering from a terminal illness.
After thinking about it, she still pulled her face down slightly and said something ugly: "Shiyu, if I bring him out to meet you, you must first promise me that you will never ask about his condition. Otherwise, I think it's better not to do it. Nice meeting.”
Wang Shiyu said with some disappointment: "Linlin, it's wrong for you to do this. Your husband hid it from you before, and you are now hiding it from him. Is it necessary? Can't you two communicate openly and honestly about this matter? If you are sick, you should not hide your illness and avoid medical treatment, but you should actively check and treat it."
Shen Lin didn't like hearing this, and frowned and asked: "Then do you think that under normal circumstances, the experts in your hospital, or our domestic medical experts, can cure my husband's disease?"
Wang Shiyu was speechless for a moment. Cancer is an incurable disease. The most you can do is spend money to buy your life. If you have money, you will live longer. If you don't have money, you will die quickly.
Especially for those with late-stage brain cancer like Chen Feng, there is no need for any treatment at all, because the only thing left is to wait for death, which will basically take two to three months. Why bother with treatment? Do you think surgery and chemotherapy are enough? Is it as enjoyable as going to a spa?
"Shiyu, I understand your curiosity. But neither my husband nor I want others to pay too much attention to his condition, let alone any doctor using him as a research subject. So, I hope again that you can keep this matter strictly confidential and don't Tell other people, including other doctors, like oncologists. I hope you can say yes, okay?"
Wang Shiyu had really planned to tell this to the old expert who originally gave Chen Feng the diagnosis. After all, he was the head of the oncology department of their hospital.
But now when I heard Shen Lin's words, I felt a little hesitant.
Seeing that she didn't respond immediately, Shen Lin frowned slightly and then said in a more serious tone: "Shiyu, you can do it, right?"
Wang Shiyu just woke up from a dream and said quickly: "Of course, I will do what I say and will not tell others about this matter. Even if I tell others, others may not believe it."
"Thank you, this Saturday. Regardless of whether my husband is free or not, I will invite you out to have a meal together to express my gratitude to you."
"You're too polite. I didn't help you much. Besides, I'd rather not help you with this kind of thing."
Wang Shiyu finally felt a little sad now. After all, Shen Lin's husband had an incurable disease.
And when Wang Shiyu thinks about it, even if her husband survives until now, there is no guarantee that he will continue to live in the future.
Under the most ideal situation, Wang Shiyu felt that her husband would be in danger of dying suddenly at any time if he could live for another year or two.
"Thank you anyway. Let's just say this first and contact you later."
"Okay, if you want to open some, we'll get in touch."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Lin took a long and deep breath, and then she cheered up a little. She went to the bathroom to wash her hands and face, so that her mind could relax a little and the intense mood swings just now could calm down.
She followed her to warm up a glass of milk for herself to drink. After she felt that she had regained her composure, she sent a video call invitation to Chen Feng.
She now really wants to see Chen Feng and make sure that he is still alive and well.
At this time, Chen Feng happened to be selecting some paintings in the practice room, and planned to take pictures and send them to Shen Lin for her to choose.
At this time, Shen Lin suddenly sent a video call. Fortunately, he didn't need to take photos one by one.
Therefore, Chen Feng readily accepted the other party’s video call invitation.
"Why did you suddenly call me via video?"
Chen Feng asked in a natural tone.
When Shen Lin saw Chen Feng's face on the phone screen and heard what he said, her eyes turned red and she almost shed tears.
She still overestimated her ability to regulate her emotions just now.
"Why don't you speak?"
Chen Feng asked again.
"I miss you."
Shen Lin almost blurted out these words. After saying it, she did not feel shy, but began to have tears in her eyes.
Chen Feng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard her straightforward words of love.
Shen Lin had said something similar to him before when they were passionately in love, but it felt like it was a very distant thing, which made him feel dazed.
Chen Feng also saw the tears in Shen Lin's eyes through the screen of his mobile phone. It didn't feel like she was acting, and he also believed that Shen Lin was not such a hypocritical person.
So, he asked with confusion and concern: "What's wrong with you? Did you encounter something unhappy?"
Shen Lin immediately shook her head and denied: "No, I really just miss you."
When Chen Feng heard her saying such love words again, he was a little speechless and couldn't help but want to complain. We have only been apart for a few hours? Do you miss me? Is it such an exaggeration?
Chen Feng could only follow her words: "It's okay. Well, I was just picking out paintings for you. Take a look. If you like them, I'll pick them out and bring them to you tomorrow."
After saying that, Chen Feng changed the direction of the camera and pointed it at the calligraphy, painting and photography works that Chen Feng had purchased and collected.
When Shen Lin saw that Chen Feng had so many paintings, calligraphy and photography, she couldn't help but be stunned. Then she slowly readjusted her mentality and looked at these things carefully.
"What do you think of this "Peony Picture"? It's hand-painted and colorful. It looks very festive and can be hung in the entrance hall."
Chen Feng pointed to a colorful peony picture painted using traditional Chinese painting techniques and framed in a wooden frame. It looked very good at first glance.
This is also true. Chen Feng originally spent 150,000 yuan to buy this painting, which contained enough life energy for him to absorb for almost twenty minutes.
Now that the energy in it has of course been absorbed by him, sending it to Shen Lin's house to make decorative paintings can't be considered a waste.
After Shen Lin looked at the painting carefully, she also liked it a little, so she said: "This painting looks good, the color is bright, and it has a very high level of quality. How much did you pay for it?"
If Shen Lin didn't ask about the price, of course Chen Feng wouldn't take the initiative to tell her.
But now that she asked, Chen Feng couldn't help but answer.
But the price of 150,000 yuan was obviously still a bit high for her, so Chen Feng cut some of the price and said, "50,000 yuan."
"Fifty thousand?! Such a painting costs 50,000? Is it a work by a famous painter?"
Fifty thousand yuan for a painting is still a bit high for Shen Lin. Think about it, how can ordinary people spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a painting? And this painting is also used as a decorative painting in the entrance hall.
Chen Feng had no choice but to explain a little: "This painter is a relatively famous master of traditional Chinese painting in our province. I bought his painting with only 50,000 yuan, which is considered a surprise."
When Shen Lin heard that it was a painting by a master, she was able to accept it. After all, she also knew that it was normal for some masters' calligraphy and painting works to cost hundreds of thousands or even millions.
In such a comparison, this painting worth 50,000 yuan seems a bit cheap.
But for her, a painting at this price is still too expensive.
"Your paintings are still a bit expensive for me, so I'd better not want them. Just pick some paintings that cost a few hundred or even a few thousand yuan and give them to me."
When Chen Feng heard what Shen Lin said, he wanted to say that the cheapest painting here costs tens of thousands of yuan, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to tell a white lie.
"Okay, I'll pick some cheaper ones for you."
So, next, Chen Feng further lowered the prices of these paintings.
Shen Lin was a little skeptical at first, but she didn't understand this. Chen Feng pointed to a painting that originally cost more than 300,000 yuan and said it was bought for 3,000 yuan. He also said that he had a nose and an eye, so she chose to believe it.
Of course, in order to make this white lie more rounded, Chen Feng also specially found two or three paintings, saying that they cost tens of thousands of dollars to buy.
The reason why he went to such great lengths to give away the painting for free and went out of his way to lie was mainly based on a sense of guilt and compensation.
They had lived together in the house they rented for many years. Later, they were getting married, so they could only use the rented house as a temporary wedding room. After obtaining the landlord's consent, they made some small adjustments. The changes and decorations mainly consisted of repainting the walls, and buying some new furniture and decorations, including decorative paintings. The total cost was more than 30,000 yuan, more than half of which was paid for by Shen Lin herself.
This made Chen Feng feel deeply guilty about her at that time. Now that he happened to have so many "idle" paintings in his hands, he gave her a few to decorate the newly purchased house, just to make up for what he owed her in the past.
The two of them spent more than half an hour selecting through mobile phone videos, and finally Shen Lin selected a total of six paintings.
Originally, she only wanted five paintings, but Chen Feng suggested that she choose an extra painting, just in case there were fewer paintings.
Shen Lin accepted his kindness.
"About when can you come over tomorrow?"
After the six paintings were selected, Shen Lin wished that Chen Feng would send them to her right away.
It's not that she cares too much about these paintings, but she really wants to see Chen Feng in person, so that she can actually touch and hold him.
"Around nine o'clock, right?" Chen Feng replied.
"Is it so late?" Shen Lin said eagerly, "Can you come over earlier? I'll prepare breakfast for you and we'll eat together."
Considering her condition, Chen Feng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Let's do it at eight-thirty. I'll be at your place before eight-thirty."
"Okay, I'll make your favorite glutinous rice tomorrow morning."
"Making glutinous rice? Do you mean the kind of glutinous rice from my hometown?" Chen Feng asked curiously.
"Of course." Shen Lin nodded affirmatively, "I will cook it for you tomorrow morning."
"Isn't it too much trouble? Do you have glutinous rice over there? There are other seasonings, which are a bit cumbersome to make."
"Yes, I have glutinous rice here, as well as some pork, shrimp skin, shiitake mushrooms, dried tofu, and green onions, but no fried dough sticks. I'll just go out and buy two fried dough sticks and bring them back tomorrow morning."
When Chen Feng heard what she said, he no longer refused. It seemed that he also wanted to eat the glutinous rice from his hometown.
In fact, making this Xiuzhou glutinous rice is not very difficult, it just takes a lot of time.
It is more troublesome to prepare several seasonings, and then the glutinous rice needs to be steamed first and fried in oil.
Of course, you can also just steam the glutinous rice, then add toppings such as minced meat, chopped fried dough sticks, chopped mushrooms, chopped green onion, etc., mix it and eat it.
But this is obviously not the most authentic. The most authentic Xiuzhou glutinous rice is to steam the glutinous rice first, then fry it in a pot with lard, and add the above mentioned seasonings.
When the relationship between the two was good, Shen Lin specially learned to make glutinous rice from his hometown, and sometimes she would cook it for him.
But later, as the relationship between the two had some problems, the number of times she made glutinous rice for him became less and less. In the two years before the divorce, she never made it for him again.
