Chapter 35 Self-Deception



"What, what do you mean?" Fang Sheng asked puzzledly.

Does the Fang family’s old house have two basements? How come he doesn't know?

When Fang Sheng lived in City A, he would park his car in the underground garage every day when he went to and from get off work. If there really were two basements, how could he not know about it?

Fang Sheng looked at Ye Chaoran with some suspicion.

The weather in May was already very hot, and Fang Sheng soon began to sweat all over under the scorching sun.

Ye Chaoran's voice sounded again: "Since you didn't know that your family has two basements, you probably didn't know that your family started purchasing medical equipment that was discarded by the hospital two years ago, right?"

"Acquire medical equipment?" Fang Sheng was even more confused.

He understood every word Ye Chaoran said, but when put together they became obscure and difficult to understand. He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

"How do you know that our house has two basements? And how did you hear that we started purchasing medical equipment two years ago?" Fang Sheng asked.

How did Ye Chaoran know?

Not only did he know, he was also the only "patient" in the operating room below.

Ye Chaoran lived in the Fang family for more than two years. At first, he didn't know that there was a secret basement under the original parking lot.

It was not until his hands and feet were tied, his mouth was blocked, and he could not struggle or call for help, and was carried down by everyone in the Fang family, that he finally got a glimpse of the biggest secret of the Fang family's old house.

There is a secret door under the car that has been parked in the basement. When the secret door is opened, there is a bright staircase that extends deep into the basement.

The basement looked new, with both the walls and the floor covered with snow-white tiles. It looked very similar to the floor in a hospital, and the air was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.

In the innermost room of the basement, there is an operating table, and next to it are various instruments and equipment collected by the Fang family from major hospitals.

The operating table beneath me was very cold, and the operating light above my head was dazzling.

Ye Chaoran saw a needle as long as his arm. His pupils constricted and he began to struggle violently on the bed.

But before he could make a sound, the people around him rushed over and held him down.

"Don't be afraid, this is an anesthetic injection," someone said, "It won't hurt after the anesthesia."

The voice was like the whisper of a devil, always lingering in Ye Chaoran's ears.

The huge needle pierced his spine and injected into his central nervous system.

Ye Chaoran will never forget that trembling pain.

It hurts so much.

But the pain did not last long, and soon he fell into a coma due to anesthesia.

Right next to him, on another operating table, Fang Yan also closed his eyes.

They are twins, one is waiting for the countdown of life, and the other is welcoming a new life.

Ye Chaoran didn't know how long it had been before he felt his chest being cut open by a cold scalpel, as if a hole had been opened in his chest.

He struggled to get up, but was quickly held down by the doctor.

"Shit! The dose of anesthesia is too little, give him another injection!"

Ye Chaoran heard the doctor say this.

Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes. No one understood Ye Chaoran's despair at that time.

The doctor seemed to notice his tears. He took time out of his busy schedule to look back at him, then covered Ye Chaoran's eyes with gauze.

"My name is Johnson. Don't worry, your brother's heart is not completely useless. As long as I act quickly, his heart can be transplanted to you. You can still live for a long time."

"The only thing I'm afraid of is..."

The effect of the anesthetic hit again and Ye Chaoran fell into coma again.

At that time, Ye Chaoran did not have time to think about the deeper meaning of Johnson's words. After his rebirth, Ye Chaoran thought about it carefully and found many doubts.

Why did Johnson say something like "Your brother's heart is not completely useless"?

Could it be that Fang Yan’s illness is not as serious as Ye Chaoran imagined?

No one could answer Ye Chaoran's question, so he had to look up Johnson's information.

Johnson quit his job abroad five years ago and came to China to become the Fang family's family doctor.

Johnson has been in office for 30 years and has performed thousands of operations, among which the operation he is best at is heart transplantation.

But all the heart transplants Johnson had performed before were performed on patients after the heart donor had died.

He had many assistants around him, and he only needed to cut open the chest of a patient and replace the heart that had been preserved.

But the operation at that time was different, there were two living people lying next to him.

Johnson wants to give Ye Chaoran's heart to Fang Yan, and then put Fang Yan's heart back into Ye Chaoran.

One doctor performs two operations at the same time.

The difficulty is beyond words.

What's more, the underground operating room built by the Fang family at that time was not fully equipped, and did not provide the technology and equipment to preserve the heart.

Even if Johnson completed the operation on Fang Yan as quickly as possible, by the time it was Ye Chaoran's turn, Fang Yan's heart would have already lost its vitality.

"We are family members too. When Fang Qishan and the others told you that I was a wild child with no manners and no etiquette, you believed it unconditionally. But when I told you the truth, you began to doubt the truth of what I said?" Ye Zhaoran pulled himself out of his memories and sneered, "You just kept calling me family and blood relatives, why are you doubting me now?"

Fang Sheng's expression froze for a moment.

In the distance, the sky was clear blue and sunny. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and the thick clouds blocked the scorching sun. The heat from Fang Sheng's body was instantly blown away, and even a cool feeling rose from his back.

The wind on the rooftop became stronger, blowing up the boy's hair and revealing Ye Chaoran's eyes without a trace of warmth.

Fang Sheng was shocked by the coldness in his eyes and couldn't help but take a step back.

"I..." He opened his lips, trying to defend himself, "That's because what you said is too unreliable, I..."

"Low credibility?" Ye Chaoran sneered, "Then if I tell you that Fang Yan's illness has been cured, do you think this is credible?"

The fact that Fang Yan's illness had recovered was just Ye Chaoran's guess, but when he saw Fang Sheng's shocked and slightly panicked expression, Ye Chaoran finally confirmed that his guess was correct.

"What's wrong with you..." Fang Sheng looked at Ye Chaoran in shock. He soon realized that he had lost his composure and quickly lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Yesterday during the art performance, Yanyan fainted and was hospitalized. I sent him to the Union Hospital. The chief doctor of the Union Hospital told me that Yanyan's condition has been well controlled and the chance of recurrence is only 10%. The reason why he feels chest tightness and shortness of breath from time to time is most likely due to psychological effects."

"I just found out about this last night," Fang Sheng raised his head again and looked at Ye Chaoran, "How did you know about this?"

Ye Chaoran was in no mood to answer Fang Sheng at this moment. He stood there in a daze, repeating Fang Sheng's words just now: "It has been controlled. The chance of recurrence is only 10%?"

Fang Sheng nodded and said affirmatively: "That's what the doctor told me. I don't know the specific situation. I want to wait..." He glanced at Ye Chaoran, "I want to take Yanyan to another hospital for a checkup after I finish dealing with your affairs."

Ye Chaoran smiled.

So that's how it is. It turned out to be like this.

In his previous life, he really believed that Fang Yan's illness could not be controlled and he would eventually die, so the Fang family had no other options and turned their attention to him.

But what he could never have imagined was that Fang Yan's condition could actually be controlled.

And the Fang family is willing to take the risk of donating their heart to Fang Yan, just to eliminate the 10% possibility of recurrence!

Ye Chaoran couldn't figure it out.

I don't understand even more.

This is ridiculous. Could it be that in the eyes of their family, only Fang Yan's life is important? Fang Yan is the only relative among them?

What blood relationship? In the eyes of their family, I am just a living organ!

Ye Chaoran clenched his hands into fists at his side, and he didn't even notice when his nails dug into his flesh.

Fang Sheng naturally noticed Ye Chaoran's abnormality. Just as he was about to step forward, he saw Ye Chaoran suddenly take a step back and said sternly, "Don't come over!"

Fang Sheng was startled.

Jiang Xunmo, who had been downstairs, also heard the noise. He ran up quickly without thinking.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Xunmo looked Ye Chaoran up and down, and after making sure that he was okay, he put him behind him, and then looked at Fang Sheng in front of him vigilantly.

"It's okay." Ye Chaoran quickly came back to his senses. He hid the emotions in his eyes and said, "Let's go down. I've finished talking to him."

Jiang Xunmo naturally had no objection, and took Ye Chaoran downstairs.

However, Fang Sheng didn't want Ye Chaoran to leave like this, as he still had many questions that he hadn't figured out.

"Chao Ran, wait a minute..."

"We have nothing more to say," Ye Chaoran stopped and didn't even turn his head. "I've told you everything I know. You have to find out the rest yourself."

"As a member of the Fang family, shouldn't you know more about your family's affairs? You might as well investigate why there is an operating room in your basement, why your family hid the fact that your brother Fang Yan had recovered from his illness from you, and why everyone in your family, except you, is so eager for me to return?"

"Your family doctor is called Johnson. You can start your investigation with him. All the instruments in your home will pass through his hands."

Ye Chaoran said so much, and Fang Sheng guessed many possibilities, but the only one he hadn't thought of was this last one.

Hearing this last question, the blood in his body seemed to run cold at this moment. Fang Sheng said in a daze: "No... this is impossible..."

Ye Chaoran just sneered lightly and didn't say much.

However, Jiang Xunmo, who was standing aside, frowned slightly.

"This is impossible!" Fang Sheng's hoarse roar came from behind.

Ye Chaoran didn't stop, he walked even faster. After returning to the classroom, Ye Chaoran lay down on the table.

There were only him and Jiang Xunmo in the empty classroom, and Ye Chaoran looked out the window with lifeless eyes.

The heavy clouds dispersed again, and the scorching sun once again covered the earth.

There was no air conditioning in the classroom, and it was even slightly hot, but Ye Chaoran just felt cold all over.

"Drink some water?" Jiang Xunmo took out a bottle of water from somewhere, unscrewed the cap, and placed it in front of Ye Chaoran.

Ye Chaoran raised his head, glanced at Jiang Xunmo, and said thank you.

Jiang Xunmo sat down next to him and nodded slightly.

The cold mineral water flowed down his throat, relaxing Ye Chaoran's anxious heart for a moment. He tilted his head to look at Jiang Xunmo and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you curious?"

Jiang Xunmo: “Hmm?”

Ye Chaoran felt that he might want to talk too much, but he couldn't find the right person.

Song Ya and Ye Pei cared about him too much. If they were told about this, they would definitely be scared.

It was even harder for Ye Chaoran to talk about his other friends. It seemed that the only person he could talk to at the moment was Jiang Xunmo.

"Aren't you curious about what I just said?" Ye Chaoran asked.

Jiang Xunmo thought for a second and nodded: "I'm curious, but if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask."

Although he was downstairs, he was still some distance away from the rooftop, so Jiang Xunmo did not hear the conversation between Ye Chaoran and Fang Sheng.

Ye Chaoran really liked Jiang Xunmo's frankness. At this moment, he also urgently needed someone to talk to, so he spoke without hesitation: "The Fang family is so anxious to let me go back because they want to give my heart to Fang Yan."

This sentence was undoubtedly a thunderclap, and Jiang Xunmo looked at Ye Chaoran in astonishment.

Ye Chaoran looked at Jiang Xunmo's expression and for some reason he felt like laughing, so he asked with a smile: "Do you think it's ridiculous?"

He thought Jiang Xunmo would nod and say yes, but unexpectedly Jiang Xunmo shook his head and said, "If that's the case, the logic of the whole thing is clear."

Now Ye Chaoran was the one who was surprised: "Huh?"

Jiang Xunmo glanced at Ye Chaoran, then looked away with a little discomfort.

This story begins with his transfer to another school.

Jiang Xunmo had a quarrel with his father. It started over a very small matter and no one knew how it turned into such a big quarrel.

In a fit of anger, Jiang Xunmo asked to transfer schools.

His father also had a bad temper. He would change his mind at will. The next day, Jiang Xunmo was thrown onto the plane by his father with a confused look on his face, and a report document was stuffed into his hand.

Jiang Xunmo was furious, but it was too late to regret at that time.

After transferring to Class 1, Jiang Xunmo lost interest in everyone and everything. His greatest pleasure every day was playing games.

So he simply stopped studying, played games at home every night, and came to school to sleep during the day.

After playing like this for most of the semester, Jiang Xunmo finally felt a little bored. One day, he woke up during the day and was about to continue playing games when he saw the latest message popped up on his phone -

#Thousands of miles to find their relatives, the long-lost twins finally reunited#

When you get tired of playing games, it's nice to eat some melons.

And more importantly, the protagonist of this incident is a classmate of theirs.

When Jiang Xunmo learned that Ye Chaoran was going to go back with the Fang family at first, he actually felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He felt sorry for Ye Chaoran's adoptive parents. No matter how close one's biological parents are, how can the grace of giving birth be greater than the grace of raising one?

Jiang Xunmo almost couldn't help but go to Ye Chaoran to have a talk.

Fortunately, at this time, news came out that Ye Chaoran would definitely not go back with his biological parents.

Only then did Jiang Xunmo begin to feel a little more favorable towards Ye Chaoran.

Then Fang Yan transferred to another school. At first, Jiang Xunmo didn’t understand why the Fang family was pursuing Ye Chaoran, because in his opinion, there was no logic in this matter.

Does the Fang family need children?

There was no shortage of them, and Ye Chaoran was even abandoned by their family.

Regardless of whether their family likes Ye Chaoran or not, in Jiang Xunmo's opinion, the Fang family has no feelings for Ye Chaoran.

When there is no emotion but someone tries to play the emotional card again and again, things become extremely suspicious.

So when Ye Chaoran told him the truth, although Jiang Xunmo was shocked, he felt that there were clues.

Jiang Xunmo concealed the fact that he was eating melons and simply told Ye Chaoran his thoughts.

Ye Chaoran bent his lips after hearing this: "Aren't you curious about how I know the truth of this matter?"

Jiang Xunmo was still very frank: "I'm curious, but everyone has their own privacy, I won't ask."

The last bit of unhappiness in Ye Chaoran's heart also disappeared. He propped himself up with his arms, tilted his head to look at Jiang Xunmo, and said seriously: "Jiang Xunmo, do you know that you look very handsome when you say this!"

Jiang Xunmo tilted his head and met Ye Chaoran's clear and bright eyes. He felt a little itchy in his heart, and quickly retracted his gaze, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked: "Am I not handsome normally?"

Ye Chaoran could no longer hold it in and instantly laughed out loud.

As the class was about to start, many students returned to the classroom.

When the class bell rang, Ye Chaoran suddenly said, "Always very handsome."

Jiang Xunmo didn't hear clearly: "Hmm?"

Ye Chaoran smiled with his eyes curved and said nothing more.

The afternoon sun was extremely hot, and Fang Sheng didn't know how long he had been standing on the rooftop. When he remembered to leave, he just took a step and his eyes went dark and he staggered.

The floor was very hot, and Fang Sheng groaned in pain from the heat.

He then used the strength to stand up and slowly walked to the corridor.

Ye Chaoran's words just now were like a thorn stuck in his brain, disrupting all his thoughts.

Fang Sheng was a little confused and felt it was ridiculous.

Heart transplant?

How is that possible?

It’s not that Yanyan’s illness is incurable. As long as he continues with the treatment and doesn’t stop taking the medicine, his body won’t recover to be the same as that of a normal person, but at least his life will no longer be in danger.

There is no need to replace the heart.

right.

Fang Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he thought of this, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ye Chaoran must have lied to him. He hadn't even gone back to Fang's house with him, so how could he know their family doctor...

Fang Sheng's expression froze again.

Johnson.

yes.

Ye Chaoran didn’t even go back with them, so how did he know the name of the family doctor?

Fang Sheng knew that the easiest way right now was to check on Johnson.

The truth will be revealed as long as it is proven that Johnson did not secretly purchase medical equipment from the hospital.

But Fang Sheng didn't dare.

There was a hidden fear in his heart that kept stopping him. Don't kill an idea as soon as it pops up.

Fang Sheng closed his eyes tightly.

I don't know how long it was before his cell phone rang.

Fang Sheng answered the call without even looking at who it was.

The driver's anxious voice came from the other end: "Master, the young master just felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Do you want to come back and take a look..."

Fang Sheng frowned irritably.

Why do you have to do the same trick a second time?

Do you really think he will be fooled every time?

"If he feels unwell, take him to the hospital. Am I a doctor? Can I give him pain relief or cure his illness?" Fang Sheng's voice was filled with anger, and he hung up the phone right after he finished speaking.

The driver's cell phone was on loud speaker the whole time. When Fang Yan heard Fang Sheng's suppressed angry voice, his face turned pale.

"elder brother……"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Sheng hung up the phone.

Fang Yan couldn't hold back any longer and tears instantly burst out.

When had Fang Sheng ever spoken to him in such an impatient tone?

Fang Yan felt aggrieved and flustered, with shame and anger on his face from being slapped.

His brother must have discovered that he was pretending to faint last night. If he had known, he would not have pretended to be sick yesterday.

But you can't blame him. If he hadn't pretended to be faint, his brother's eyes would have been glued to Ye Chaoran!

What if my brother really likes Ye Chaoran?

Ye Chaoran does not belong to their family. Ye Chaoran’s only role is to provide him with a heart. His brother cannot like him! He was not allowed to appear in his own home. Fang Yan would not allow anyone else to share his favor.

So what should he do now?

It has already happened, there is no use regretting. Fang Yan must think about what to do to make his brother calm down. As long as his brother calms down, everything will be easy.

Not only that, he also had to find a way to get his brother back to City A and stop him from having contact with Ye Chaoran.

Fang Yan leaned on the sofa. For some reason, his heart, which had not been hurting much before, really started to hurt at this moment.

Seeing Fang Yan's grim expression, the driver couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, shall I take you to the hospital?"

Fang Yan shook his head, bit his lip and said to the driver, "Call my brother again and tell him that I'm at home waiting for him to take me to the hospital. I won't let anyone touch me except him."

The driver looked at Fang Yan awkwardly. He really wanted to ask, "Young Master, why are you doing this?"

But then I thought, the young master is usually spoiled, and since he said so, I can just do it myself.

As for the result, he has done what he should do and said what he should say. It has nothing to do with him now.

The driver called Fang Sheng as Fang Yan had said.

Unexpectedly, Fang Sheng didn't even answer the call this time. The driver waited for another half an hour and called back, but the phone was turned off.

The driver had no choice but to go and tell Fang Yan about it again.

As soon as he entered the door, he was startled to see Fang Yan lying on the sofa.

Fang Yan's face was pale, with beads of cold sweat dripping down his face. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak.

The driver didn't dare to delay any longer and took the person to the hospital directly despite Fang Yan's objection.

At this moment, Fang Sheng was on the plane back to City A.

The nearest flight to Nanshi did not have a first-class cabin, and Fang Sheng was very reluctant to sit in economy class, but in order to know the truth quickly, he felt that he could endure it.

He decided to secretly return to City A. No matter whether what Ye Chaoran said was true or false, he would know it by carefully investigating Johnson.

If it's fake, that would be best.

If it is true...

Fang Sheng's eyes were full of confusion.

If what Ye Chaoran said was true, what should he do?

His beloved family actually planned to kill his other brother who was lost outside to save Yanyan's life without his knowledge.

This is a crime!

Fang Sheng was in great pain, he really didn't know what to do.

He could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that what Ye Chaoran said was all false.

These are just Ye Chaoran's excuses for not wanting to return to the Fang family.

As long as he finds out that these were all fabricated by Ye Chaoran, he will immediately take Yanyan back to City A.

If Ye Chaoran doesn’t want to come back, then don’t come back.

The Fang family doesn't necessarily want him to come back; they just need to live their own lives well.

The more Fang Sheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and his mood strangely calmed down.

The author has something to say:

This wave is called self-deception.
