Chen You didn’t tell Sheng Qing about his weakness in his right hand. He didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t just say something like ‘Wuwuwu what should I do? I can’t even lift a cup. I’m going to die’ for fear of scaring the other person.
But Chen You didn’t know that Sheng Qing had installed a monitoring system inside the room in order to keep track of his condition.
In a villa to the west, Sheng Qing sat behind his desk smoking while several doctors lowered their heads. The atmosphere around them was very depressing and heavy, just like an omen before a rainstorm.
A knock knock sound came from the desk as Sheng Qing casually tapped the table. “Speak.”
The older doctor pondered and said, “A patient’s mentality is very important. Young Master Xia is different from ordinary people in this respect. As long as his state of mind is well, he is optimistic and eats unpolluted food, I think he is likely to create a miracle in medical history.”
Other doctors rushed to agree.
Sheng Qing kept tapping. “You can see that the muscles in his right hand are already weak.”
The doctor spoke again, “Mr. Sheng, to tell the truth, the fact that Young Master Xia didn’t show that phenomenon until now has exceeded my expectations.”
He stretched out a finger and pushed his glasses up. “I came across this genetic disease a few years ago and it only took the patient two months from diagnosis to death. On the other hand, Young Master Xia…”
The doctor felt a sharp gaze directed at him, and his voice got stuck in his throat, making him unable to finish the second half of the sentence.
Sheng Qing pursed his lips and said, “Continue.”
The doctor continued, “Young Master Xia will experience sporadic muscle weakness, not just in his right hand, but in other parts of his body as well. Slowly, he will become temporarily paralyzed. The specific treatment method can only be determined after the examination is completed.”
Sheng Qing flicked his cigarette and said in a cold voice, “Listen carefully. I’ll say it again. I want him to live. Not for one day, one month, or one year. I want him to live until I die.”
Several doctors dared not breathe a word.
Doctors weren’t gods, they could only try their best to do what they could. Wealth and honor were determined by god, while life and death were determined by fate. All of these weren’t something they could decide.
Even though their thoughts were like that in their hearts, none of them dared to say a word, for fear of angering the person in front.
It rained in the second half of the night, causing a pitter patter of drops to hit the windowsill. The raindrops never tired of making humming and hawing sounds, particularly naughty and determined to wake up the youth in the room.
Chen You turned over. That’s enough. It never ends.
He reached out his hand. It was not empty or cold, but rather a man’s strong and warm chest was there. He didn’t even know when he was carried to another room.
Sheng Qing grabbed the hand on his chest.
Chen You kicked his legs, leaned on top of the man, and whispered in his ear, “Dad, it’s raining.”
Sheng Qing made a sound through his nose. “Hmm.”
Chen You whispered again, “I can’t sleep, can you talk to me?”
Sheng Qing pulled the quilt and said, “Dad is sleepy, let’s talk tomorrow.”
Chen You pinched his nose and blocked his mouth. Humph, if you can’t breathe, I wonder how you will sleep.
Sheng Qing’s voice was filled with forbearance, “Stop making trouble.”
Chen You rubbed against him, put his mouth on the man’s Adam’s apple, and smacked his lips several times. He was satisfied when he heard the other’s breathing pause.
Sleep, what sleep? It’s raining heavily outside, so it can also drizzle in this room.
Sheng Qing patted the youth’s butt gently. “Be good and behave.”
Chen You didn’t want to obey. His right hand could be used again. He was so excited that he almost cried. He finally counted to a 100 million sheep and fell asleep, but was woken up by the sound of rain. Now he doesn’t want to sleep anymore. He just wanted to do something, whether it be for an hour, two hours, or until dawn.
“Dad, I want to see the bird.”
“It’s raining now, the birds are all sleeping in the shed, we’ll look at them when the weather clears up.”
“Not those.”
Sheng Qing didn’t expect the youth to get tired of the birds in the enclosure so quickly. “The other species haven’t arrived yet. We have to wait about half a month.”
I really don’t know how to describe you. Ai, Say, you’re a pig, but you’re also not. If you’re not, then how can you be one? So, are you or are you not a pig? This is a difficult question. Chen You said something in the man’s ear. He felt the man’s breath sink, very obviously.
Sheng Qing turned on the light, and what came into view were the youth’s bright black eyes, bursting with energy. He coughed and said, “Your body is not healed, it will hurt you.”
It’s okay, it’s okay, really, I’m fine. Chen You held the man’s face and smacked a kiss. He hummed, “So it is in fact an impulsive plot to watch birds with you, tah la ta lah…”1I think this is a song with Chen You’s own lyrics inserted
Sheng Qing was helpless. “Okay, but you have to listen to Dad.”
Yes, yes, I will definitely listen. Chen You was looking forward to it very much.
Not long after, Sheng Qing released the huge black bird he had raised. The bird had jet-black feathers that glowed, and was particularly beautiful. It raised its head in the air and let out a long cry. Its voice was extremely loud and penetrating.
Hearing the command from its master, the black bird shook its sturdy and majestic body before flying swiftly to Chen You, carrying him to the sky and bringing him to the ground, flying high and low, fast and slow.
Chen You hugged the black bird tightly while listening to the wind whistling in his ears. The whole world became a shadow, it was wonderful.
The black bird carried Chen You flying for a very long time. When Chen You got off the black bird, he felt as if he had been in a dream. The dream was like real life, compared to real life that was worse than death.
Sheng Qing went to get some water, wrung out the towel and covered the youth’s face with it to wipe away his tears. “Have you had enough fun?”
Enough, enough, very enough. Chen You struggled in a state worse than death, trying to revive again, but it didn’t work. He could only fall back. “Dad, what time is it?”
Sheng Qing picked up his phone and looked at it. “It’s almost three o’clock.”
Chen You said, “I’m hungry and I want to eat some cookies.”
Sheng Qing said, “You can’t eat cookies. Lie down and I’ll make you a glass of milk.”
Chen You shouted at the man’s back, “A big cup!”
After he finished shouting, he was sweating all over, his vision was really dark, and the ceiling was spinning. “444, I saw that I can buy things with goodness points. I remember I have 1279. What can I buy? Can I buy some medicine to strengthen my body?”
The system said, “The medicine exists, but it won’t work for you.”
Chen You sobbed. “No way, there are so many products on the platform, but there’s not a single useful one?”
The system said, “There is one thing that can make you live a few more years, but you have to…”
Chen You asked quickly, “How much? I’ll take all of them.”
The system said, “Just add three zeros to those of yours.”
Chen You, “…”
He asked persistently, “Can’t it be cheaper? National Day is coming soon, are there any campaigns?”
The system said, “If I were you, I’d go get some goodness points.”
Chen You sighed. It was easier said than done. He didn’t even know where his more than a thousand points had come from. The goodness points were literally that, coming from goodness.
But he had no idea when he would have goodness points, and he would not feel anything even if he acquired them.
The next day, the rain didn’t stop and dragged on, which was very unpleasant.
Chen You was lying on the bed, holding his laptop and watching a live broadcast. The guy in the video was catching fish, loaches, and prawns in a pond in his hometown. He was a very capable person and good at making jokes. The atmosphere was very lively, with comments flashing very fast, rockets rushing by one after another, and yachts sailing by one after another. There were a lot of rich people watching.2Those are gifts in the form of objects as tiers.
He was a poor fellow and could only give a little.
When pressing the mouse, the feeling of weakness appeared again. Chen You could only use his left hand. He thought that one day his left hand would also not be able to work anymore and he would have to use his feet.
It seems that it was necessary to train the flexibility of his ten toes in advance.
He just didn’t know what to do if his feet also couldn’t be used anymore. Chen You curled his lips. He could only wait for death.
The progress of the mission was in trouble.
After an IV, Chen You saw the purple needle holes on the back of his hand. He touched it with his other hand. Being sick is really a painful thing for yourself and also causes suffering to others.
At that time when his mother fell ill, his father suddenly looked a lot older. There was a very bad atmosphere in the house. The word death could not be mentioned. When Chen You accidentally mentioned it once, he was scolded by his father.
His mother promised his father that she would try her best to hold on. In the end, she didn’t even make it to the end of that year and left them both behind.
His dad was depressed for a long time before he could accept the fact that my mom was gone.
His hand was touched, bringing Chen You back to his senses. He asked the man, “Dad, are there any fish in the lake?”
Sheng Qing said, “I think so.”
Chen You said excitedly, “I’m going to go fishing after lunch.”
Sheng Qing frowned, “No.”
Chen You’s face immediately fell and he became unhappy.
The lines between Sheng Qing’s eyebrows deepened, and after a while, he said, “Only for one hour.”
Chen You pressed on, “Two hours.”
Sheng Qing said, “Half an hour.”
Chen You’s face twitched. Dad, if you do this, it will be very boring. He gritted his teeth and said, “One hour is one hour.”
This matter was happily settled.
In the afternoon, there was a chair and a table by the lake in the back. There was unpolluted purified water and some food on the table. There were also several bodyguards, doctors and nurses nearby.
Chen You was sitting on a chair mixing fish food in an annoyed manner. With such a big formation, let alone the fish, even people wouldn’t dare to get close, okay?
He scattered the fish food into the lake, bent down to pick out earthworms from the bag, and started sifting. This one isn’t rosy enough, that one’s too thin and didn’t have much meat.
The people behind him felt a little nauseous when they saw the youth put the bag on his legs and rummage through it, but as adults, they were too embarrassed to show it.
Chen You finally picked out a few earthworms that he was satisfied with. He turned over the tag of one of them, skillfully put it on the fishhook, flicked the fishing rod, put it in the water, wiped his hands with a wet towel, and waited for the fish to take the bait.
There was wind, but it wasn’t strong. It felt gentle when it blew on the face. There was sunshine, but it wasn’t strong. It felt warm on the body, like soaking in warm water.
Everything was just right, except the fish wouldn’t take the bait.
Chen You stared at the float on the lake. It wasn’t moving at all. Could it be a problem with the fish feed? That’s impossible. It smelled so good that I almost couldn’t resist taking a bite.
Then it must be the worm, absolutely, it must not be to the taste of the fish in the lake.
Chen You refused to admit that his fishing skills were not good enough.
When an hour was up, the people at the back came forward to clean up, and soon, there was nothing left by the lake.
Chen You didn’t catch any fish in the past two days. He listlessly went back home with his fishing rod. The food in his mouth did not taste good anymore.
