Lou Jinchuan was extremely sensitive and noticed his abnormality. He panicked and grabbed his arm tightly. "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Yan Xi panicked and tried to calm down. "It's nothing serious. I was just thinking, what if you lost your life because of this? Who would I spend my life with?"
Hearing this, Lou Jinchuan calmed down a bit, curled his lips, and said with a smile: "No, I just won a battle, and the emperor won't do anything to me for the time being. As for the future, I will make good preparations during this period to protect myself. Besides, my parents' last wish has not been fulfilled yet, and I can't think of a better way than to fulfill it in my current capacity."
Yan Xi opened his mouth but still said nothing.
Lou Jinchuan said, "Brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's not talk about these things anymore, okay? I just want to be with you without any distractions."
Yan Xi pursed her lips and nodded.
The two of them hadn't eaten anything when they came, and now they were starving.
Lou Jinchuan cooked for him out of habit.
Yan Xi helped on the side.
Soon, the food was served and the delicious aroma filled the air.
"Brother, have this, your favorite chicken leg." Lou Jinchuan picked up the tender, golden and crispy chicken leg and put it into his bowl.
Yan Xi smiled and took a few bites without any image. It seemed that it was not enough, so he took another one. However, as soon as he took a bite, he felt a strong feeling of nausea and vomiting.
Seeing that he hadn't moved, Lou Jinchuan stared at him blankly, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xi looked up at him, but his vision was blurry. He blinked and this time he finally saw clearly.
Realizing that something was wrong with his body, he smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I just choked suddenly just now, I'm fine now."
Lou Jinchuan looked at him steadily for a long while, confirmed that nothing was wrong, and poured him a glass of water, "Drink some water first and then eat."
"Yeah." Yan Xi endured the discomfort, drank a sip of water, suppressed the feeling of nausea, and started eating happily.
After dinner, Lou Jinchuan still wanted to talk to him, but Yan Xi spoke little the whole time, just listened quietly, occasionally nodding and smiling in response.
In the deep night, the lights of thousands of houses on the streets of Lin'an form a beautiful scenery.
Yan Xi urged Lou Jinchuan to go back quickly on the grounds that he must not arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Lou Jinchuan had no choice but to agree and left reluctantly.
After he walked away, Yan Xi covered her mouth and quickly ran to the toilet, vomiting violently. She almost vomited out her gallbladder and her mouth was so sour.
After vomiting, he staggered out, blocked the stone pillar, and gasped for breath.
His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, his face was pale, and his head was aching slightly, making it impossible for him to calm down.
This symptom is more intense than before.
Is he in the late stage?
Yan Xi held the pillar weakly, looking up at the starry night sky, his thoughts indescribably confused.
…
After the headache and nausea gradually disappeared, Yan Xi returned to He's house and ordered Ming Zhu to boil some medicine. After drinking the medicine, he went straight to his room and lay down with a tired look on his face.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, the system's electronic sound rang out, "Ding! System 5555 is about to end hibernation."
Hearing this, Yan Xi's sleepiness disappeared and he quickly called out, "System?"
System 5555 seemed to have just turned on, and spoke with a yawn in the sound of a voice, "I'm here, I just woke up. What's wrong? What's going on?"
Yan Xi said in a heavy tone, "I feel like something has grown in my head."
System 5555 scanned it and was shocked. "Holy crap! It really is! It's a brain tumor, and it's malignant."
"Vicious..." Yan Xi murmured, clutching the quilt tightly with both hands, and his burning heart instantly turned cold.
He was silent for a long time, then asked with difficulty, "How long can I live?"
"Wait a moment, let me take a look. Don't worry." System 5555 comforted him and quickly checked the details.
System 5555 exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? So while I was dormant, your mission progress was already 96%. No wonder you've managed to survive this long without treatment despite having a malignant brain tumor."
Yan Xi was slightly startled. "You mean... my malignant tumor is related to the progress of the mission?"
System 5555: "Yes, remember the regulation changes I told you about before? Once the mission progress reaches 100%, the host must leave the plane within three days. The host can choose to leave voluntarily or be forced to leave. If forced to leave, the Spacetime Administration will make arrangements in advance to ensure that the host can leave the plane in a reasonable manner.
Apparently, this time the Spacetime Administration has given you an ancient 'incurable disease.' Previously, you couldn't sense the presence of the brain tumor because your progress wasn't high enough. Now that it's at 96%, it will naturally begin to worsen. Therefore, you need to complete the remaining tasks as soon as possible before the brain tumor completely worsens."
Yan Xi didn't speak immediately, but stared into the void quietly for a long time.
After all, I can't grow old with him.
