Yuan Chu squatted in the bathroom and struggled to wash his clothes. Before establishing contact with the Son of Destiny, her body was always on the verge of collapse. In addition, in order to fit in with her current status, she also had a poisoning buff. She took medicine, injections and rice porridge every day, which made her look quite miserable.
Yuan Chu carried the washed clothes to the window and hung them up to dry one by one.
The rustling movement caught the attention of Li Xi who was sitting on the window sill next door. He raised his head and saw a little girl stepping on the stool, standing on tiptoes, and hanging her little clothes on the window. The arms with exposed sleeves were as thin as cotton swabs, covered with pinholes, and bony, as if they would fall apart if shaken casually.
Realizing that he was looking at her, the little girl turned her head and waved to him, with a happy smile on her face and a pair of big eyes shining.
Are you stupid when you look so sick and still smile so happily
"Stand there and don't move." Li Zhan shouted, then he turned over and jumped off the window sill, walked quickly to the next door, picked up the little girl from the stool, and then helped her dry the remaining clothes. , even Xiao Nenei was not spared.
"Thank you, little brother." Yuan Chu politely thanked him.
"Where are your adults?" Li Zhan said angrily, "Why do you let a child wash clothes?"
"I am the adult of my family." Yuanchu walked to the bedside table, reached for the hot water bottle, and prepared to pour water for Li Xi.
Li Xi stepped over in a few steps, grabbed the thermos bottle from her hand, poured half a cup of water into the glass quilt, then paused, frowned and said, "When did this water come from?"
Yuan Chu answered honestly: "The day before yesterday."
Li Xi said with a dark face: "Wait a moment."
He walked out of the room carrying the hot water bottle, called his nurse, and asked her to make a pot of hot water.
After giving the instructions, he did not go back to his room immediately, but stood in the corridor and waited. He regretted asking the question just now. The reason why no one took care of her was probably because the people who could take care of her died in the accident. His question was really unnecessary.
While he was feeling annoyed, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a little head poking out from behind the door, looking cautiously towards him.
"What are you looking at? Just stay in your room." Li Xi shouted angrily.
The little head shrank back with a swish.
Li Zhan pursed his lips and his expression became even worse. He waited for the nurse to bring the hot water before he returned to her room.
The little girl sat obediently by the bed. When she saw him coming in, she immediately smiled and didn't care at all about his bad attitude just now.
Li Xi poured a glass of boiling water into the glass without saying a word, then pushed it aside to cool down.
"Thank you little brother, you are so kind."
Li Xi: Is this good? It's so stupid.
"Huh?" Yuanchu noticed his feet, "Brother, you don't have any shoes on, aren't you cold?"
She pointed to her shoes and said generously: "You can wear my shoes first, and then put on your own when you go back."
Li Xi almost cried because of her stupidity. His feet were bigger than her face, could he wear her shoes
Moving his eyes downward, he first saw two tiny little feet, wearing a pair of mismatched old socks. Under her bed, there was a pair of slippers neatly placed. They were a pair of adult slippers, larger than his feet.
I don't know why, but my nose suddenly feels sour.
The accident caused Li Xi to fall from heaven to hell, but even so, someone took care of his daily life. But the little girl in front of me really had nothing.
Why can she still keep smiling? Does she know what despair is and what death is? Others can live for seventy or eighty years, but their lives are forced to end in their youthful years.
"Brother, can I have a drink of water?" Yuan Chu licked his dry lips and looked up at Li Xi.
Li Xi calmed down and shook the glass to make sure it wasn't too hot before handing it to her.
"Thank you." Yuan Chu drank some water and said with a smile, "Uncle the doctor is going to give me a new medicine tomorrow. Brother, tell me, can that new medicine cure my disease?"
Li Xi was stunned: "New medicine?"
"Yes." Yuanchu nodded, with a little expectation on his face, as if what he was going to take tomorrow was not medicine, but delicious snacks.
Li Xi didn't look good, he casually told him to have a good rest and left.
After coming out of the original ward, Li Xi walked straight into the attending doctor's office.
"Li Zhan? What do you want from me?" Song Zhicheng looked at the young man walking in front of him and asked in surprise.
"Have you developed another new drug?" Li Xi asked directly.
Song Zhicheng paused and replied: "Yes, this new drug has passed the test and been authorized, and can start clinical trials."
"Has anyone tried it?"
"There are two of them."
"Show me the information." Li Xi stretched out his hand unceremoniously.
"Sorry." Song Zhicheng shook his head, "These information involve the patient's personal information, I can't give it to you casually."
Li Xi sneered: "Aren't the new drugs you developed for people like us who are about to die?"
Song Zhicheng sighed: "If there are results, I will tell you."
"It's okay if you don't show me the information. Let me ask you, do you plan to use new medicine on the girl named 'Yuanchu' tomorrow?"
Song Zhicheng hesitated for a moment and finally admitted: "Yes."
"Let's change it to someone else." Li Xi said forcefully, "That guy is already so thin, how can he still withstand your torture?"
"I'm afraid it won't be possible to substitute," Song Zhicheng said helplessly, "We only have three volunteers, and that little girl is one of them."
"Are you kidding? How old is she? She has no ability to act independently. How can she become a volunteer?"
"Her family members were all killed in the accident, and her volunteer application was signed by relevant government personnel."
"Because she has no family, she can only be at your mercy?" Li Xi thought of the girl's smile and felt a little angry for no reason.
"It's not what you think." Song Zhicheng explained, "Our experiments are very formal and we will not make fun of human lives. The reason why we chose that girl is because she... is about to die."
Li Zhan clenched his fists, his chest throbbed with pain, and a stream of blood surged into his throat: "Ahem..."
He covered his mouth, blood flowed from his fingers, and his originally straight back bowed in pain.
"Come quickly, help him back to the ward!" Song Zhicheng's anxious voice sounded in his ears, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps.
Li Xi felt his consciousness gradually blurring, and finally fell into darkness completely.
Yuanchu walked out of the room and watched silently as the medical staff sent the unconscious Li Xi into the ward.
Li Xi's desire for survival is not strong, and he even gives up on himself. This is the first disaster arranged for him by Heaven. If he cannot survive it, he will die in two months. And she can only escape from this world.
What Yuan Chu has to do now is to change his negative mentality and help him try medicine. New drug No. 1 is defective. It will not only cause rejection but also leave sequelae. It is not suitable for Li Xi to take. After she has tested it, the research center will improve the new drug.
Yuan Chu's biggest problem now is not disease, but whether he can be accepted by the children of destiny.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Xi slowly woke up from his coma. The first thing that caught his eyes was still the same pale ceiling and the dusty ceiling lamp.
He struggled back from the brink of death again, but he didn't feel lucky.
"Little brother, you're awake~~" A brisk child's voice suddenly reached his ears, restoring some clarity to his chaotic brain.
Li Xi squinted his eyes and turned to look at the little thing beside the bed. She sat with her back to the window, her withered and yellow hair hanging freely on her shoulders, frizzy, and the morning light outside the window shone on her body, making her look like a shining ball of hair. Only those eyes were as bright as the stars, clean and pure, as if without any worries.
"Why are you here?" Li Xi asked in a hoarse voice.
"I just went to buy breakfast. I passed by your ward and came to take a look." Yuan Chu opened the lunch box on the bedside table and asked, "Do you want to eat the delicious millet porridge?"
Li Xi glanced at it. It was a sticky mess. How could it be fragrant
"I'm a little hungry, can you take a bite first?" Yuan Chu asked solicitously.
"You bought the breakfast yourself. You can eat it if you want." Li Xi replied in a bad tone.
"Okay~~" Yuan Chu immediately picked up the spoon and was about to eat, but Li Xi stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll eat with you!"
After saying that, he struggled to get out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then picked up his mobile phone and made a call. Within ten minutes, a nurse came in carrying food boxes and placed them one by one on the small dining table.
Fresh milk, bread, eggs, fruits, simple and rich, and very beautiful.
"This is down." Li Xi pointed at the rice porridge on the bedside table and ordered the nurse.
"Ah." Yuanchu protected, "This is my breakfast."
"Is that for human consumption?" Li Xi urged with a look of disgust, "Throw it out, it makes you lose your appetite."
"You threw away my rice porridge, what should I eat..." Yuanchu watched helplessly as the nurse took the "smelling" bowl of rice porridge away from her hand.
"There are so many things on the table, isn't it enough for you?" Li Han glared at her.
Yuan Chu looked at him, then at the food on the table, and confirmed, "Can I eat it too?"
"Nonsense, didn't you see that I prepared two servings?" Li Han didn't want to talk to this stupid girl anymore, so he picked up the milk and drank it.
Yuan Chu looked at him but didn't make a move.
"Why do you always like to stare at others? Eat quickly!" Li Xi grabbed a piece of bread and roughly stuffed it into her hand.
Yuan Chu held the bread and took small bites, still looking at him.
Just when Li Xi was about to burst into tears when she saw him, Yuan Chu said, "Thank you, little brother, you're so kind." He also gave him a smile that smelled like wheat.
I suppressed the harsh words that came to my mouth, and it took me a while to spit out two words: "What a fool!"
Yuan Chu happily gnawed on the bread and gave him a kind look that "cared for the rebellious boy", letting him figure it out on his own.
