In Nanyun City, it was already the afternoon of the next day when Masnian woke up again. After resting at home for two days and two nights, his complexion looked much better and he was more energetic than last night.
"I contacted the teacher in the morning. The research laboratory has recently developed a new drug. It has only passed the white mouse experiment and has not yet undergone clinical trials. If this new drug can meet expectations, it can block genetic mutations. In this way,
You just need to undergo a heart transplant and get a healthy heart and you will be like a normal person."
Masnian, who had been lying in bed for two days, was lying on the terrace of the courtyard, basking in the sun. Gessen beside him told Masnian all the contents of his phone call with the teacher.
After hearing this, Masnian asked.
"What if it doesn't meet expectations?"
"It may accelerate your heart failure, and the most serious possibility is that the new medicine will be rejected by your body, directly threatening your life."
After hearing this result, a glimmer of hope in Masnian's heart gradually disappeared. He was silent for a long time, and then asked.
"Then if we wait for the clinical trial to end, how long will it take?"
This time, it was Gessen's turn to be silent. Seeing that Gessen remained silent, Masnian raised his head and said calmly.
"Tell me, the worst outcome is to die anyway, so what else can't be said?"
After Masnian finished speaking, Gessen sighed and said with a sad look on his face.
"Currently, only one case like yours has been found in the world, so there is no way to conduct clinical trials."
Hearing this result, Masnian smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
"So, we don't know what the outcome will be. If I accept the new drug, I will be the first living white mouse."
"Indeed, but we have gone through no less than a thousand animal experiments. Except for some animals that are resistant to the drug itself, others have significant effects."
Gessen hoped that Masnian could receive new drug treatment. At least there was a glimmer of hope. If nothing was done, he would die of heart failure in at most a year.
After Gessen finished speaking, Masnian fell into a long silence again. He was hesitating whether to spend the rest of his short life peacefully or to venture into an unknown future.
In recent years, new drugs like this have appeared almost every year, but in fact, very few have been successful. Otherwise, how could he hide in this remote mountainous area.
"Gerson, let me think about it, okay?"
Gessen knew that this decision was difficult to make. He nodded and said nothing. At this time, Masnian was having a difficult struggle in his heart.
Two days later, at 2:30 in the afternoon, Xiao Yingze had been waiting at the Luocheng International Airport for more than half an hour. Xiao Yingxi had not come out for a long time. Just when he was about to lose his patience, he finally saw that familiar figure.
But the next second, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Second brother."
As soon as Xiao Yingxi came out, she saw Xiao Yingze who had been waiting there for a long time. She gave him a warm hug and then handed him the suitcase in her hand.
Xiao Yingze hugged Xiao Yingxi and then let go. He kept staring at Gu Jinmo next to Xiao Yingxi.
"Second brother, Jin Mo was injured, and he was afraid that his parents would find out if he went back, so he came to Luo City with me."
When she came back, Xiao Yingxi didn't tell Xiao Yingze that she would bring Gu Jinmo back.
After Xiao Yingze heard this, he patted Gu Jinmo on the shoulder and said gratefully.
"Thank you for protecting Luo Luo. You can rest well in Luo City these days."
After saying that, Xiao Yingze took the initiative to take the suitcase from Gu Jinmo, and then the three of them left the airport.
"Brother, I'll take Jinmo to the hotel later."
As soon as they got in the car, Xiao Yingxi said that when she got on the plane, she booked a hotel for Gu Jinmo in advance.
When Xiao Yingze heard this, he said directly.
"Which hotel should we stay in? There are so many rooms at home, and it's not like we can't fit in them. Who will take care of Jin Mo when we stay in the hotel? The family can also take care of him. Jin Mo hurts his head, so he has to ask his aunt at home to make some soup to replenish him.
.”
Xiao Yingze directly rejected Xiao Yingxi's decision. As he spoke, the car had already driven out of the parking lot.
After Xiao Yingxi and Gu Jinmo heard this, they said in unison.
"No need, I've booked the hotel."
"Yes, second brother, I'd better stay in a hotel. It's not suitable to stay at your house."
Gu Jinmo said politely, in fact, he hoped to live in Xiao Yingxi's home and hope to integrate in as soon as possible, but he also knew that he could not eat hot tofu in a hurry, and he could not let Xiao Yingxi feel pressured.
When Xiao Yingze heard the two men talking as if they were discussing, he raised his eyebrows and said forcefully.
"Xiao Yingxi, this is because your arrangements were not careful. Jin Mo was injured because of you. How could you leave him alone in a hotel? This hotel can be as comfortable as staying at home?"
After saying that, Xiao Yingze looked at Gu Jinmo again in the rearview mirror and said with enthusiasm.
"Jin Mo, please stop being polite to us and just treat yourself as if you were going back to your own home. You are a great benefactor of our Xiao family and you must live at home."
Seeing that Xiao Yingze was so tough and the steering wheel was in his hands, Xiao Yingxi looked embarrassed. She felt a little conflicted, but she didn't know how to refute Xiao Yingze.
At this time, Gu Jinmo saw Xiao Yingxi's troubled face, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, then he moved forward and spoke to Xiao Yingze with his head.
"Second brother, I just have a little skin injury, it's not serious. You'd better take me back to the hotel."
"Okay, you all follow my arrangements and return to Haotianju."
Xiao Yingze said directly without giving them a chance to choose. Then, Xiao Yingze glanced at Gu Jinmo slyly and said jokingly.
"Jin Mo, you are so afraid of my sister. She is not yours. Don't keep looking at her face, okay."
When Xiao Yingze said this, Gu Jinmo immediately turned his head and stopped looking at Xiao Yingxi.
Xiao Yingxi frowned slightly after hearing this, and hesitated whether to tell Xiao Yingze that she agreed to be with Gu Jinmo, but she hesitated again and again and still did not say anything.
In the end, the two people in the car could only listen to the driver. After more than half an hour, the car stopped outside Haotian Ju.
It was extremely quiet in the villa. Xiao Yingxi's parents were still in Yucheng and would not be back until evening.
After getting off the car, two servants came out and helped them move their suitcases into the villa.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, move the black suitcase to the guest room on the second floor and prepare some lighter dishes for the evening. We have guests at home."
As soon as he entered the villa, Xiao Yingze said to the middle-aged woman in the living room, and then the woman directed the other two people with suitcases to go up to the second floor.
Xiao Yingxi was stunned for a moment after hearing Xiao Yingze's arrangement.
There is a guest room on the second floor, just opposite her bedroom. It used to be their activity room. Later, when they all grew up, the room was repurposed as a guest room, but it seemed that no one had lived in it in these years.
"Jinmo, do it, don't be so formal, just do it at home."
After Xiao Yingze sat down, he saw Gu Jinmo following Xiao Yingxi with some restraint, and quickly greeted him. Gu Jinmo nodded, sat down aside, raised his head and looked around.
Haotianju was renovated more than ten years ago and expanded a bit. The current area is two to three hundred square meters larger than before. Now this villa costs at least two to three hundred million.
The Gu family is already considered a top wealthy family in Huacheng, but compared with Xiao Yingxi's family, it is still dwarfed. Compared with Haotianju, Gu Jinmo's villa can only be regarded as a small bungalow.
The living room became extremely quiet for a while. After looking around, Gu Jinmo felt a strong shock in his heart. He even felt that he was a little overestimated and pursued Xiao Yingxi. This was probably the real-life version of a toad.
The swan is meat.
Xiao Yingxi sat aside. She usually talked a lot when she came home, and she became much quieter because of Gu Jinmo's presence.
Xiao Yingze, who was opposite, saw that neither of them spoke, so he could only break the awkward situation by speaking to Xiao Yingxi.
"Luoluo, you take Jinmo around, I'll go upstairs and change my clothes."
With that said, Xiao Yingze went upstairs.
Without Xiao Yingze present, the atmosphere between Xiao Yingxi and Gu Jinmo was much more harmonious. At this time, Gu Jinmo sighed with emotion.
"Luoluo, your family is really big."
"I heard from Mommy that my grandpa bought her a wedding house. Later, when I was a teenager, I made some changes and widened the yard outside. Let's go and show you around. We are here behind
There is a large orchard, but nothing seems to be growing at this time."
With that said, Xiao Yingxi stood up, and Gu Jinmo hurriedly followed. The two of them walked through the living room and walked to the garden behind.
After several expansions and renovations, the garden at the back is half an acre, and there is a large swimming pool, but it is a bit cold now and there is no water in the swimming pool.
"Luoluo, do I really have to stay at your house these days? Will it be inconvenient?"
Gu Jinmo felt that Xiao Yingxi didn't want him to live here.
After hearing this, Xiao Yingxi hesitated for a moment, then smiled slightly, gave Gu Jinmo a gentle smile, and said.
"It's not inconvenient. When mom and dad come back, I will tell them that I am with you. Since we are a couple now, there is nothing wrong with you coming to Los Angeles and staying at my house."
Hearing that Xiao Yingxi said that they would make their relationship public, Gu Jinmo almost jumped up with excitement, because when they were in Haishi, Xiao Yingxi said that she didn't want to make their relationship public for the time being, and he was still a little disappointed at that time.
"Luoluo, don't worry, I will definitely perform well."
Gu Jinmo was so excited that he grabbed Xiao Yingxi's hand and said seriously.
Xiao Yingxi was amused by Gu Jinmo's serious expression. Looking at the hand being held, a complicated light flashed in her eyes, then she smiled slightly, comforted Gu Jinmo's nervous mood, and said.
"Don't be too nervous. My father and mother are very kind people."
"I, I'm not nervous."
Gu Jinmo was simply lying with his eyes open, and he was clearly shaking a little while holding Xiao Yingxi's hand.
When Xiao Yingxi saw this, she did not expose it. Then, she directly withdrew her hand and continued walking forward.
Gu Jinmo's hand was empty and he stared at his hand with some disappointment. He forgot to follow Xiao Yingxi. Xiao Yingxi took two steps and felt that Gu Jinmo hadn't followed. When she turned around, she saw Gu Jinmo looking at her.
Her hands were dazed, and Xiao Yingxi suddenly realized what was going on, and walked back, directly holding Gu Jinmo's hand and pulling him forward.
"Jinmo, give me some time, I'm not used to being your girlfriend yet."
Hearing Xiao Yingxi's words, Gu Jinmo felt a little complicated. He knew very well that Xiao Yingxi didn't like him. He agreed to him mostly because he was moved. This was already a favor to him. How could he do it again?
He has many demands on Xiao Yingxi.
Gu Jinmo took the initiative to let go of Xiao Yingxi's hand and said softly.
"It's okay. If you feel uncomfortable holding hands, then we won't hold hands in the future. Luoluo, I still say the same thing. I just hope you can be yourself happily. As for the rest, I will work hard."
As he said this, Gu Jinmo secretly reminded himself that since Gu Jinmo had taken this big step, let him complete the remaining ninety-nine steps. He firmly believed that his efforts would be rewarded, and he would definitely be rewarded for his efforts.
I firmly believe that as long as I take good care of her, I will one day occupy a place in this woman's heart, even if it is just a small corner.
But as soon as Gu Jinmo finished speaking, a soft hand held his big hand again. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Yingxi's gentle eyes and smiling face.
"Jin Mo, there's no need to accommodate everything. Let's go and take you to see my mommy's flower garden. Haven't you always been curious about where I painted that oil painting?"
After saying that, Xiao Yingxi pulled Gu Jinmo towards a flower garden in the distance.
