In the pitch-black night, raindrops gathered and scattered with the wind.
"The surgery is not that simple. I have three points to make."
"First, before the surgery, the complete No. 3 reagent needs to be prepared. This step is the simplest and takes three to five days."
"Second, once the third reagent is produced, in order to ensure clinical efficacy, it will be necessary to conduct drug trials. You need to prepare in advance, which will take twenty days to a month."
"Third, it's you."
Ye Jinyu looked at Xiao Wujie with sharp eyes: "Surgery has requirements for physical indicators. According to your recent physical examination report, you have three indicators that do not meet the standards."
“I will immediately begin to help you with your treatment, and even with medication, but the surgery can be performed no earlier than a month from now.”
"The further you go, the faster your health will deteriorate. No one can say for sure how much your health will deteriorate in this month. You... need to be prepared."
Xiao Wujie's fingers, which were resting on Chu Liyue's slender waist, twitched slightly. He looked up at Chu Liyue and said earnestly in a low voice, "No matter what happens, I will hold on."
Ye Jinyu looked at him, pursed her lips, and didn't speak, but her gaze was so dark that it was impossible to see through her.
Some situations may be far more terrifying than you think.
That would be true, unbearable torture.
Only... you alone.
After a while, his gaze remained fixed on Xiao Wujie. Seeing that he seemed to want to say something but hesitated, Xiao Wujie said calmly:
"Just say whatever you want."
Ye Jinyu took a slight breath, glanced at Chu Liyue, and said in a low voice:
“I knew she didn’t want you to know, so I didn’t say anything, now…”
Noticing the change in Chu Liyue's cold eyes, he said, "As a patient, he has the right to know, and he must know."
His fingers clenched silently, his face remaining cold and composed.
"I've done countless calculations and trials, and I'm only 50% confident about this surgery."
"If you fail, you have no chance of leaving the operating table."
"So, if you still have something on your mind, don't put it off."
Chu Liyue's waist-length hair fell down, and the light cast a shadow above her nose.
Xiao Wujie's extremely long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said softly, "I understand."
Ye Jinyu turned and left, the atmosphere in the room heavy as water, cold and oppressive.
Xiao Wujie leaned against Chu Liyue's chest, a look of weariness on his brow, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Sister, I'm sleepy."
Chu Liyue took off her bathrobe, turned off the light, and pulled him into bed.
The hospital bed wasn't big, and the two of them were a bit cramped, their bodies pressed tightly together.
In the darkness, they could clearly feel each other's body temperature and soft breathing.
Chu Liyue wrapped her arms around Xiao Wujie's waist, gently patting his back with her hands. Her fingers, which were resting on his arm, were bent over, and she gently rubbed his hair with her fingers.
"Are you scared?" she asked.
“With my sister here, I have nothing to fear,” Xiao Wujie replied as always.
He put his arm around Chu Liyue's neck and traced a circle on the back of her neck with his fingers in a strange gesture.
"Sister." He suddenly called out as his delicate nose brushed against Chu Liyue's heart.
"Sister, from now on, please just call me baby, okay?"
Chu Liyue was taken aback: "You don't like me calling you 'Baby'?"
She always called him "good boy," and only used "baby" or "darling" occasionally to coax him.
It's understandable that she might feel uncomfortable suddenly changing her way of speaking.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed, and she lowered her head to gently pinch Xiao Wujie's chin, meeting his gaze in the darkness.
What naughty thing have you done this time?
Xiao Wujie chuckled and shook his head, his eyes clear. He hugged her waist, raised his head, and gently licked her lips.
"I'm good, sister, I've always been good."
"I just... I think reduplicated words sound nice, and I want to hear them more, but I'm afraid—"
Chu Liyue didn't let him continue, and kissed his pale lips, lingering and caressing them.
"I promise you."
"I'll do whatever you want, as long as the baby likes it."
Her low, charming voice, tinged with doting affection, sent a shiver down Xiao Wujie's spine, his cheeks burning as he pressed himself tightly against her chest.
Chu Liyue took the opportunity to gently kiss his earlobe, pat his back, and coax him to sleep: "It's late, go to sleep, baby."
Xiao Wujie looked sickly and was exhausted from the recent ordeal. He quickly fell into a deep sleep in her arms.
Chu Liyue stared at him intently, her eyes swirling with a complex mix of emotions.
After an unknown amount of time, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
The Three-Life Flower glowed with a captivating, faint light in the night, its three petals quietly unfolding.

Three days later, reagent number three was ready.
Chu Liyue had already begun preparations when Ye Jinyu mentioned the drug trial.
The reagent for reagent No. 3 is different from ordinary reagents.
Its effectiveness is undeniable; even before it was perfected, it was able to pull Xiao Wujie and Xiao Qianshan back from the brink of death.
The main purpose of perfecting the drug trial is to control all the details clearly in order to achieve precise dosage in clinical surgery.
This places extremely high demands on trial participants, requiring them to be knowledgeable in medicine, cooperate with examinations, and be able to professionally and clearly describe their body's reactions and feelings.
Five participants were ultimately selected for the drug trial.
The first three were recruited by Chu Liyue through various channels. They possess extensive medical knowledge, their identities and backgrounds are transparent and controllable, the drug trial period is one month, and each person receives an eight-figure reward.
The remaining two are Shi Feng, a God scientist whose knowledge is beyond question, and who fits the criteria of being an elderly person, as drug trials need to cover different age groups.
The last one, and the most important and valuable one, is Lin Qingyi.

In Liyue Manor, the lights in the underground operating room come on.
Lin Qingyi lay on the operating table, the operating lights shining on her fair and translucent skin, giving it a soft and captivating glow.
However, on that snow-white skin, blood-red lines spread, intertwining to form a hideous and sinister human face.
At the operating table, Chu Liyue changed into her medical gown. Unlike normal doctors who are tense and holding their breath, she calmly and composedly prepared various medications.
She gazed at Lin Qingyi, who lay quietly on the operating table with her hands folded over her abdomen, a complex emotion flashing in her icy eyes.
"Because we need to obtain accurate data, these traces need to be removed in multiple stages..."
Lin Qingyi chuckled and nodded, her eyes clear as autumn water, her tone nonchalant: "I understand, Sister Chu, no need to say more."
"You don't need to comfort me, it's all in the past."
Chu Liyue lowered her eyes and said one last thing: "I will be the only one coordinating with you during this process."
Lin Qingyi's eyes glistened with tears, then she closed them, letting Chu Liyue push the reagent into her body.
When I close my eyes, it's not dark; many images flash before my eyes.
Suffering is suffering; it truly happens and leaves an indelible mark.
It would be a lie to say I don't care, but it's true that I've let go.
All those past events have faded into nothingness.
We realize that the past cannot be changed, but we know that the future can be pursued.
Yancheng tore a hole in her dark life.
Old Black Mountain, the bright sunlight shone upon it.
Boston, severing ties with the past, a bright future awaits.
There is a light in her life. She cannot become his light, but she wants to do her best for his bright future.
She was very content.
