After all, the two of them had worked together before. Now facing Cheng Xiao, Lu Jiyuan didn't have so much hostility, but he instinctively remained wary of his love rival.
"How is Tangtang's recovery status?" Cheng Xiao asked.
“Not very good.”
Lu Jiyuan told the truth, his face covered with a haze.
Cheng Xiao didn't seem surprised by the result, and just said: "I want to go in and have a look."
Lu Jiyuan narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
After two seconds, he turned sideways, made way for Cheng Xiao, and allowed him to enter.
The floor of the hospital is flat, and the wheelchair slides in without making a sound.
Cheng Xiao didn't say anything, just looked at Sheng Wantang at the door of the ward.
The woman's eyes were wrapped with gauze, and she was sitting against the bedside of the hospital bed. A symphony was played on a small speaker beside the bed for entertainment.
"Lu Jiyuan?"
If she felt something, she tilted her head toward the door.
Lu Jiyuan glanced at Cheng Xiao and saw that he had no intention of making a sound, so he said 'hmm'.
The way Cheng Xiao looked at Sheng Wantang was almost obsessed and greedy, like a dragon looking at treasure.
I want to take it away, but I know I can’t.
Besides looking twice, what else can I do?
After a while.
Cheng Xiao drove the wheelchair out of the ward.
When Lu Jiyuan followed him out, he closed the door of the ward with his backhand.
"Why didn't you say anything just now?" Lu Jiyuan asked.
Cheng Xiao laughed to himself: "Inappropriate."
Why is it inappropriate?
Lu Jiyuan didn't ask, nor was he interested.
However, Sheng Wantang didn't know that Cheng Xiao had been here before, which was exactly what he wanted, but... it always felt like he owed Cheng Xiao once.
"I want to see Sheng Wantang's baby." Cheng Xiao suddenly said.
Lu Jiyuan raised his eyes and looked at him: "My son?"
Cheng Xiao almost rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Yes, your son!"
Lu Jiyuan considered himself not a stingy person, so he took Cheng Xiao to the nursery.
Wenren Lingyan had just left the nursery to watch the nurse feed the baby, and when she came out, she met Lu Jiyuan and Cheng Xiao.
Lu Jiyuan nodded to Wenren Lingyan and led Cheng Xiao in.
An'an has grown a little bigger than before, and he no longer looks as thin and frail as before, but due to premature birth, he is still a small one, with his two calves crossed together, and the white diaper wrapped around his body is particularly conspicuous.
The baby has not yet opened its eyes, its facial features have not grown, and its appearance cannot be discerned.
There were other babies in the nursery. At first glance, these babies looked similar, except that the baby in front of him had a mark tied to his ankle.
It says: Son of Sheng Wantang.
Cheng Xiao's eyebrows softened unconsciously.
Wenren Lingyan, who had originally planned to leave, came back.
After looking at Cheng Xiao for two seconds, I finally remembered who this person was.
"Cheng Xiao?" Her eyebrows were a little colder.
The sick look on Cheng Xiao's face now made Wen Renlingyan not recognize the person at first sight. Now that he recognized the person, he immediately remembered what the Cheng family had done to Sheng Wantang.
At first I felt angry, but when I thought about Cheng Xiao having saved Sheng Wantang in a car accident, it was indeed a clearing of the grudge.
The matters of our parents' generation should not be brought into contact with their generation.
Cheng Xiao felt Wen Renlingyan's hostility, but did not react at all. He was still looking at An An in the incubator.
The baby didn't know if he was dreaming about something, but his little mouth suddenly chirped twice.
"Is he hungry?" Cheng Xiao asked Lu Jiyuan.
Wenren Lingyan replied coldly: "I just fed you milk, I'm not hungry."
Cheng Xiao continued to look at An An, and the baby's little hand moved again.
His eyes, which had always been so silent and dull, were extraordinarily bright at this moment, and revealed endless... nostalgia.
Come out of the nursery.
Cheng Xiao's fingertips landed on the armrest of the wheelchair and tapped twice casually.
"I heard two days ago that you are looking for a suitable cornea for Tangtang again? The surgery didn't go well?"
"yes."
Cheng Xiao paid close attention to matters related to Sheng Wantang. Lu Jiyuan was not surprised and just nodded.
"Have you found it?" Cheng Xiao's voice suddenly turned cold, "In other words, can you still find it?"
It is impossible to find a matching cornea donor, let alone a second cornea donor for Sheng Wantang in such a short period of time.
Lu Jiyuan's hand hanging by his side made a fist.
"Lu Jiyuan, I gave you a chance." Cheng Xiao said, "I know that you feel uncomfortable letting Sheng Wantang use my corneas. But you should know how to choose between her and my corneas.
."
They both love Sheng Wantang deeply, and sometimes have surprisingly similar thoughts on Sheng Wantang.
Cheng Xiao stretched out his right hand as an invitation to shake hands.
A handshake is suitable for both meeting and greeting.
Also applies to, reaching an agreement.
Lu Jiyuan stretched out his right hand and buckled it.
"As I said before, I hope I didn't give you a chance to cause trouble." Cheng Xiao left after saying that.
Lu Jiyuan gritted his teeth.
"Lu Jiyuan, what does Cheng Xiao mean?"
Wenren Lingyan has actually guessed a little bit, but needs to confirm.
Lu Jiyuan's words confirmed Wenren Lingyan's suspicion: "Cheng Xiao's cornea matches Tangtang's very well."
Hearing the smoke, his breath was stagnant.
Cheng Xiao's meaning is obvious. If he can't find a suitable cornea, he is willing to donate his corneas to Sheng Wantang.
-
Things go against the grain.
Sheng Wantang's eyes suddenly developed severe pain on the third night.
At first she endured it, thinking it was a psychological problem caused by knowing that her eyes might be in bad condition.
This is why she doesn't want to admit this reality.
Gradually, I couldn't bear it anymore, and the stinging sensation made tears flow out uncontrollably.
It was the time of work in the morning. Brother and sister Lu Jiyuan and Wenren had found their own offices for a video conference.
Sheng Wantang fumbled to press the call bell on the bedside.
Before the harsh ringing of the bell called the nurse, the bodyguard outside the door noticed it first. When he opened the door, he saw that the gauze on the eyes of the person on the bed had turned watery red.
It's a mixture of blood and tears!
The bodyguard was horrified and rushed to notify Lu Jiyuan and the Wenren brothers and sisters.
Doctors, nurses and Lu Jiyuan rushed in almost at the same time.
The doctor untied the gauze on Sheng Wantang's eyes, and tears mixed with blood were still pouring out.
"Can you open your eyes?" the doctor asked.
Sheng Wantang shook his head.
"How do you feel now?" the doctor asked again.
"It stings. It hurts."
The doctor opened Sheng Wantang's eyelids and covered her with an instrument to take a look. There were thin beads of sweat on her forehead.
He ordered: "Prepare the operating room immediately!"
Sheng Wantang unconsciously tightened her grip on the quilt placed on the bed sheet, and her heart beat faster in panic.
The thing she least wanted to happen happened.
Wenren Lingyan accompanied Sheng Wantang and comforted her constantly.
Wen Ren Haiyan and Lu Jiyuan followed the attending doctor out of the ward.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Wenren, have you found a new cornea?" The doctor said anxiously, "Miss Sheng's condition is worse than expected. It's best to get a new cornea immediately."
"What if I can't find it now?" Lu Jiyuan asked.
"Ms. Sheng's condition is very rare to begin with. If the complications are allowed to develop, it may cause new illnesses. I'm afraid it will be difficult to treat in the future..."
Refractory is a euphemism.
The straightforward meaning is that you may be blind forever.
Wenren Haiyan looked at Lu Jiyuan.
He knew about Cheng Xiao, and he was unwilling to accept Cheng Xiao's cornea, but Sheng Wantang was more important.
He left the choice in this matter to Lu Jiyuan.
Lu Jiyuan held the phone, his usually calm and indifferent face showing struggle.
After a full two minutes, he dialed Cheng Xiao's number.
Half an hour later.
Cheng Xiao appeared outside the operating room in a wheelchair.
"Have you really thought about it?" Lu Jiyuan confirmed with him.
"I really want to watch Tangtang grow older from the current age of 22 to 32. I also want to see her child grow from a baby to a strong teenager."
Cheng Xiao continued, "But I can't accept that she can't see it."
The woman he once kept as a pet has become more important than his life.
"Thank you, Cheng Xiao."
At this moment, Lu Jiyuan sincerely thanked him.
Cheng Xiao didn't say anything more just for Sheng Wantang. He only said: "It's best if only a few of us know about this matter, especially if Tangtang doesn't know about it."
"clear."
With Sheng Wantang's character, she simply couldn't accept Cheng Xiao voluntarily giving her corneas.
"Do you want to see An An again?" Lu Jiyuan said proactively, "An An, our child's nickname."
Cheng Xiao nodded and drove the wheelchair towards the nursery.
"What's your name?"
"Lu Chenli."
Cheng Xiao recited his nickname and nickname twice, chuckled, and finally said, "An'an is a good name."
Obviously, it can be heard that "An'an" was chosen by Sheng Wantang.
The name "Lu Chenli" was given by Lu Jiyuan.
Lu Jiyuan heard his little thoughts and didn't say anything.
The two men got along extremely harmoniously at this moment.
An An was sleeping. Under the guidance of the nurse, Cheng Xiao put on gloves, reached into the incubator, and gently touched the baby's face.
Tender and smooth as eggs.
It is the touch of new life.
After a while, Cheng Xiao took his hand out of the incubator.
"Let's go to the operating room."
It's time to go.
The more I look at it, the more reluctant I am to leave it.
The more I look at it, the more I remember it.
"I will find a solution for your eyes." Lu Jiyuan promised before Cheng Xiao entered the operating room.
"No need." Cheng Xiao said calmly, "I won't live much longer with my broken body."
He has had heart problems since he was a child. He was originally expected to live until he was forty or fifty years old, but things have happened constantly in the past two years, and every injury is an internal damage that accelerates depreciation for him.
Lu Jiyuan was stunned.
Cheng Xiao entered the operating room without hesitation.
Five hours later.
The operation is over.
Cheng Xiao was pushed out by the nurse in a wheelchair.
His eyes were covered with gauze, and his originally pale lips became even bloodless, making even a breath feel weak.
"Lu Jiyuan, don't let Tangtang know that I've been here. This is both good for you and me."
Lu Jiyuan asked: "Why don't you wait? Wait until Tangtang comes out safely."
He thought that Cheng Xiao must have thought about it.
Sure enough, the man in the wheelchair was struggling.
"She can't see it for the time being. If you don't say anything, she won't know."
Cheng Xiao was amused, "Lu Jiyuan, when did you become so generous?"
Lu Jiyuan was silent.
Not generous.
But guilt.
He will remember Cheng Xiao's dedication to Sheng Wantang and the protection of his and Sheng Wantang's relationship for the rest of his life.
