In order to develop a treatment method as soon as possible, Yuan Chu returned to the laboratory and started working day and night.
Li Xi asked her to eat and sleep at regular times every day, and she had to have one day off every week.
As their organs weakened, the two men also experienced various symptoms of discomfort. There won't be any major events in recent years, but they just pay more attention to maintenance than ordinary people.
As a result, the two people's daily life became a large-scale dog abuse scene where they cared about each other and supervised each other.
Li Xi: "Winter is coming soon, so add an extra layer of clothes."
Yuan Chu: "Ask your aunt to make you a bowl of chicken soup at noon."
Li Xi: "It's going to rain tomorrow, so don't go out. I'll give the servants a day off, and we can spend the day quietly at home."
Original: "Don't take a shower immediately after exercising. I'll help you wipe your sweat first, take a rest, and drink a glass of warm water."
Li Xi: "You stayed in the laboratory today for one hour and twenty-five minutes longer than the scheduled time. If you are disobedient, I will punish you by giving me a warm bed!"
Yuanchu: "I haven't washed up yet, don't hug me... Okay, look at your aggrieved look, let me give you a kiss on the face, that's all."
…
In the eyes of outsiders, they are just a young couple in love, exuding the sweet smell of love anytime and anywhere. Who knows that they are just cherishing the time they are alive, turning all the pain, pressure, and fear into deep affection and injecting it into every detail of life.
The two of them did not tell Grandpa Li about their situation. They hid it for two years and finally couldn't hide it anymore. The two men were getting thinner and thinner, and the frequency of vomiting increased. The medicine bottles they carried with them all showed that their physical condition was not optimistic.
"Get married as soon as possible." Grandpa Li suggested while feeling heartbroken.
Li Xi said calmly: "We will wait until the body feels better." Can they have children in their current condition
"It's okay to do manual labor." Grandpa Li is old and has already seen through life and death, but he doesn't want Li Xi to leave with pain and leave nothing behind in the end.
"No, it's enough for me to have Chuchu. She said she would live with me until ninety-nine."
Grandpa Li's eyes turned red, and he was so heartbroken that he couldn't help himself.
Grandpa Li also fell ill because of excessive worry.
The three brothers and sisters of the Li family who had been rejected by Li Xi appeared again, pretending to greet Grandpa Li several times a day, as if they were extremely filial.
Grandpa Li was originally disappointed with them, but after seeing what they had done during this period, he was somewhat relieved. He wondered if his three children would be able to take care of Li Xi and Yuan Chu for him when he left. If they agree, he is willing to hand over all his inheritance to them. Their savings plus real estate amount to several hundred million, which will at least allow them to have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
"No problem, Dad, we will take good care of Xiao Li and the others." Li Wenhong agreed.
"Yes, Dad, we are his elders after all, and we will never leave him alone no matter what." Li Wenyi agreed.
"We will cover their future medical expenses, so you don't have to worry." Li Yingwei assured.
Grandpa Li knew the nature of their urine, so he didn't fully believe it. He just thought they wouldn't completely ignore it.
As people get older, their hearts soften, and those embarrassing things in the past don't take it to heart so much. He just hopes that Li Xi and Xiaochu can live happily for the rest of their lives.
Grandpa Li has good intentions, but he doesn't know that there are some selfish people who are destined to be untrustworthy.
When the three brothers and sisters of the Li family learned about Li Zhan and Yuan Chu's illness, they didn't know how happy they were, but they couldn't show it and endured it very hard. The family fortune that Li Xi has accumulated is no worse than that of the original Li Tian Group. As long as they get his property, their current predicament can be easily solved and they can live a luxurious life.
As the saying goes, there is no filial son in the hospital bed.
The three of them persisted for a month or two, and then their visits to Grandpa Li became less and less. From a few times a day to once a few days, I show less concern.
Grandpa Li really needs the company of his children at this time. Although he doesn't say it, he actually misses him very much in his heart.
After being missing for a week, Li Xi contacted the three brothers and sisters. Even if he doesn't like them, he can put down his posture in order to make Grandpa Li happy.
"Hey, Master Li, you actually called me?" When Li Wenhong received Li Xi's call, he said sarcastically, "What major event requires you to inform me personally? Grandpa? Haha, of course I will go and see him, he is My dad, it’s just that I have some troubles with this project at hand, and I can’t spare the time for the time being... What, let me find someone to talk to you, haha, thank you so much... "
Li Wenyi: "Xiao Li, what do you want from me? To see grandpa? No problem. I'll go see him when I get this contract... What contract? Ah, it's a contract to develop real estate with Boss Wang... What, put the contract Send it to you? OK, great..."
Li Yingwei: "...I'm abroad. There's been a typhoon in the past few days and all flights have been suspended. Huh? Private plane? Haha, why are you so embarrassed? Okay, that's fine, you can send a plane to pick me up."
The three of them took advantage of Grandpa Li and found various excuses to get benefits from Li Xi, but Li Xi couldn't bear it.
It can be said that his life was saved by Grandpa Li. As long as he still cares about his children, he is willing to pay some price and just hopes that they will treat Grandpa Li better.
However, the three of them were greedy. After getting several advantages, their appetite became more and more serious, and they had to help Li Xi to solve some projects that obviously had no development prospects. Li Xi was not a money-giving boy. He did not spoil them and only invested in projects that were pretty good.
The three of them were dissatisfied and felt that he was too stingy. They greeted Grandpa Li warmly in front of him, but behind his back they treated him politely and acted like their elders.
On this day, Li Wenhong came out of Grandpa Li's room and happened to see Yuan Chu returning to the villa.
"Xiaochu is back, have you had dinner?" Li Wenhong greeted him in a false voice.
Yuanchu replied while changing his shoes: "I've eaten."
"I haven't eaten yet. Let Auntie prepare dinner quickly." Li Wenhong walked to the sofa and sat down, waving his hand and ordering.
Yuanchu frowned and stared at her for a while, making sure that she was still clean today and didn't carry any germs, then he looked away and walked upstairs.
"Hey, didn't you hear what I said?" Li Wenhong stared at her displeased.
"Auntie went out to buy groceries and hasn't come back yet." Yuanchu said without looking back.
"Wait for you to stop!" Li Wenhong called her and walked to her side, "I heard that you and Li Han were both victims of the poisonous gas leak accident. Tsk, tsk, it's really pitiful. It's hard to survive, but your body is... If it collapses, I’m afraid I won’t live for a few more years.”
A dark light flashed in Yuan Chu's eyes, and he wanted to teach her a lesson, but he paused just as he moved his fingers, allowing her to speak vicious words.
Li Wenhong looked at the ring on her finger and sneered: "You confused Li Xi so much that you thought you could marry into a rich family, but in the end you could only be a pair of miserable mandarin ducks with him. Hahaha, I told you earlier. , don’t try to get something that doesn’t belong to you.”
"You should say this to yourself." Yuan Chu said calmly, "Don't expect to get things that don't belong to you."
"How dare you talk to me like this?" Li Wenhongyi said arrogantly, "What doesn't belong to me? Is it my father's or Li Han's? When they die, won't all their things belong to me? As for you, haha , you are not related to our family, so it is already an advantage for you to enter our ancestral grave."
"Shut up!" A loud shout came from the stairs.
Li Wenhong was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see Grandpa Li standing on the stairs with a cane and the help of a nurse, glaring at her angrily.
"dad… "
"Get out of here!" Grandpa Li pointed towards the door, and then caught a glimpse of the figure standing at the door. It was Li Xi who had returned from unknown time. His eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded a frightening evil aura. It was obvious that he heard what Li Wenhong just said.
Li Chan spread his long legs, walked slowly to Yuan Chu, and took her into his arms, seemingly comforting her silently.
Li Wenhong's last words, "It's already an advantage for you to enter our ancestral graves" are simply heartbreaking.
Grandpa Li couldn't believe that his daughter, who behaved so well in front of him, would say such vicious words.
"So that's what you've always thought." Grandpa Li lowered his voice and said, "I hope that Xiao Li and I will die soon and inherit our inheritance. Those who said you would take good care of Xiao Li are all lies! You were just lying to me back then. I have never cared about him, and it will be even more impossible in the future. I still hope that you will change your gender."
"Dad is not like that. I just don't like Yuanchu, so I speak a little harshly." Li Wenhong tried to explain.
"Is this 'heavier'?!" Grandpa Li tapped the crutch in his hand with an angry look on his face, "Get out of here, I don't want to see you again, and you don't have a share in my inheritance."
"Dad!" Li Wenhong was anxious.
At this time, Li Xi said coldly: "Auntie, you don't need to worry about my inheritance. I have already made a will. After my death, all assets will be donated to charities."
"What?" Li Wenhong looked at him in shock. Tens of billions of assets can be donated at any time? ?
"Originally, you could get a share from grandpa, but now it seems that you can't get grandpa's share either." Li Xi's voice was solemn, and he looked at her as if he were looking at a dead person, without any emotion.
Grandpa Li looked sluggish, as if he had aged several years all of a sudden. He sighed quietly, then walked towards his room with hunched body and staggering steps.
Li Xi felt a little sad, so he called for bodyguards, and drove Li Wenhong out of the villa regardless of Li Wenhong's angry curses.
After returning to the room, Grandpa Li asked his secretary: "During the time when I was sick, did those three unscrupulous men make things difficult for Li Xi?"
The secretary hesitated for a moment and replied: "... yes."
"Tell me." Grandpa Li leaned on the bed and looked out the window tiredly.
Therefore, the secretary went through all the various requests made by the three brothers and sisters of the Li family to Li Han in detail one by one.
Grandpa Li didn't say a word, his eyes filled with tears.
The two children would rather wrong themselves than make him sad. True family love cannot be bought with money.
After a moment of silence, Grandpa Li said to his secretary: "Call the lawyer over. I want to change the will."
His legacy will only be left to Li Xi and Xiaochu. If they die prematurely, donate it all to charity.
The three brothers and sisters of the Li family were completely abandoned, and Grandpa Li never saw them again until his death.
Before that, Yuanchu had been thinking of ways to extend Grandpa Li's life, and had achieved certain results. After several times of persuasion, Grandpa Li gradually looked away. The main reason was that he couldn't worry about his two children, so he insisted on surviving.
On Li Xi's 28th birthday, he said to Yuan Chu, "Xiao Chu, shall we get married?"
Yuanchu: "Okay."
The two went to get the certificate the next day and officially became a legal couple.
Nothing seems to have changed in their lives, only their deteriorating bodies remind them that time is running out. But they did not despair and lived every day as if they were a lifetime.
On this day, Li Xi, who was working, suddenly received a call from Yuan Chu.
"Brother, come to the laboratory."
"Okay." Li Xi immediately put down his work and asked the driver to take him to the laboratory.
Dozens of minutes later, when he walked to the door of the laboratory, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
The assistant next to him quickly supported him, and before he could call someone, several medical staff walked out quickly and sent him to the ward.
In the haze, voices, footsteps and the sound of instruments could be heard intermittently in my ears. His body seemed to be being manipulated constantly, and he wanted to resist, but he had no strength. This feeling of helplessness made him extremely panicked.
Is he going to die? What about Chuchu? How is Chuchu going
Before he had time to say goodbye to her...
After an unknown amount of time, his consciousness gradually returned. Li Zhan slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the snow-white ceiling.
He sat up suddenly, rubbed his dizzy head, and rang the call bell on the bedside.
After a moment, a doctor walked in: "You're awake."
Li Xi looked up and frowned: "Why are you here?"
The person who came was surprisingly Song Zhicheng, who had treated him and Yuan Chu before.
"Xiaochu asked me to come." Song Zhicheng smiled, "Leave all your subsequent treatments to me."
"Xiaochu? Where is Xiaochu now?"
"Follow me." Song Zhicheng turned around and walked out. Li Xi got out of bed and followed him.
Song Zhicheng took him to the special care ward of the research center, pointed at the glass wall, and motioned Li Xi to look inside.
Li Xi took a closer look and saw a two-meter oval instrument placed in the middle of the spacious and bright ward, like a giant egg. The lower half was a metal structure and the upper half was transparent and connected to many lines.
In this egg, lying quietly, is a slender figure, which is the original.
Li Xi's expression changed and he asked sharply: "What's wrong with her!"
"It's okay, she is receiving treatment." Song Zhicheng's eyes showed a bit of excitement.
"Treatment?" Li Xi looked at him suspiciously.
"Yes, treatment! A brand-new treatment method." Song Zhicheng said in an excited tone, "Yuanchu is so amazing that it has developed this high-tech treatment device. It can increase cell activity, transform the body, and kill many kinds of viruses, prevents many types of cancer, and greatly enhances human immunity.”
Li Xi's eyes gradually brightened: "Did Chuchu's experiment succeed?"
"Eight or nine times out of ten, everything depends on her treatment effect." Song Zhicheng said casually.
Li Xi was stunned for a moment, then said with an ugly face: "You mean, no one has tried this instrument yet?"
Song Zhicheng: "..." Oops, I seem to have spilled the beans.
"She is the first user?" Li Xi asked.
Song Zhicheng: "It has been tried on animals before..."
"Animal!" Li Xi raised his voice. She tried medicine for him back then, and now she's trying new equipment for him. Does she still want him to watch her suffer alone
Li Xi clenched his fists, his eyes were terrifying, and Song Zhicheng was so frightened that he did not dare to speak.
After a while, Li Xi slowly relaxed his hand and suddenly asked, "Is there any extra?"
"What?"
"Is there any spare finished product of this instrument?"
"There is also a spare one..."
"Give it to me." This time, he wanted to bear it with her, whether it was life or death.
Song Zhicheng failed to stop him, so he could only follow his request and push out another treatment device and place it next to the original one.
Li Xi gently stroked the transparent cover of the instrument and looked at the girl lying quietly inside: "I hope I can see your smiling face next time I open my eyes."
After saying this, he lay down in the treatment device and closed his eyes.
Three days later, Li Xi's eyelids moved and then slowly opened. The bright light made him feel a little dazzling. He blinked a few times and gradually adapted to the outside light. His vision gradually became clear, but his consciousness was still a little confused.
"Good morning, brother." A brisk voice came into Li Xi's ears, pulling him back from the dazed world.
Li Xi turned his head and saw the bright smiling face as before, blooming like a midsummer flower with her beauty, sweet to his bones.
Li Xi also smiled, his eyes full of her shadow.
Chuchu, it’s great to see you again.
There is a new world, and he wants to live forever.
Even though he was in pain, he didn't want to close his eyes.
"I said, I want to live with you until ninety-nine." Yuan Chu opened the glass cover and smiled at him, "I think I can fulfill my promise."
Li Xi slowly stretched out his hand and intertwined his fingers with hers: "Okay."
Live together until ninety-nine.
