In order to regain my sight, I have gone through so many hardships. I wish I could recall all the ups and downs.
Mr. Qiu asked anxiously, "Are there any disadvantages to artificial corneas?"
"Currently, because natural corneas are scarce, the vast majority of patients choose artificial corneas. As long as there is no rejection reaction, there is no significant difference."
Qian Jianjun asked again: "Director Li, do you think your hospital doesn't have natural corneas, or..."
"As far as I know, our city currently doesn't have any."
"Just use artificial ones, it won't be a problem." Xue Jiuyue made up her mind.
Mr. Qiu was still a little hesitant, "Xiaoyue, do you need to discuss this with your parents?"
"No, I don't want them to worry. I believe in medicine!"
Director Li smiled and reassured everyone, "Don't worry, as long as there's no rejection, there will be no problem."
Only then did Mr. Qiu nod carefully, "Thank you, Director Li!"
"Then wait until all the reports come out tomorrow. If everything is alright, I'll arrange the surgery as soon as possible. I'll replace the cornea first, then repair the retina."
"Okay, thank you Director Li." Xue Jiuyue still tried her best to give a smile.
Although Xue Jiuyue has become accustomed to staying quietly in "Inch by Inch of Time", she still cannot feel at ease when everything is dark and unknown.
Qian Jianjun sensed Xue Jiuyue's anxiety and, in addition to comforting her, he also read her some jokes. Later, he simply read her short stories.
"Thank you, Mr. Qian, why don't you go back and rest for a while?" Hearing the low voice no longer mellow, Xue Jiuyue felt very guilty.
"No, I'll stay with you! Yiyi will come and replace Xinyue later."
Xue Jiuyue thought about it and didn't refuse. "Then you can also play audio books. There's no need for you to read to me in person."
"That's different. What I read feels interactive. Isn't the interactive problem what AI is currently focusing on solving?"
"You take a break first. I can make a few calls..."
"Oh, okay!"
Afraid that her parents would worry, Xue Jiuyue asked Tu Xinyue to help her call home and only had a brief chat with her parents.
She also did not forget to chat with Aunt Ji for a while.
After hanging up the phone, she asked Tu Xinyue to help her check the messages. Apart from some irrelevant daily concerns and greetings, there was no valuable content.
"How is his foot injury? Why doesn't he care about me? Is he really with Lan?" Xue Jiuyue had many questions in her mind without answers.
In the next few days, Xue Jiuyue took the initiative to contact Liu Che several times, but he did not answer the phone or reply to the messages.
Through her previous experience and the analysis of "Spit Star", Xue Jiuyue had some guesses, but no matter how she explained to Liu Che through voice messages, there was still no response from Liu Che.
"Spitting Star," Xue Jiuyue thought of this "military advisor," but then gave up. Liu Che never ignored her calls, so "Spitting Star" must be offline. Besides, it wasn't convenient for her to be online right now, so why bother facing another disappointment?!
My empty heart began to drift again. As the feeling of loneliness descended again, all kinds of sediment suddenly surfaced.
Fortunately, Qian Jianjun was tirelessly by her side, and Ke Yike did his best to regulate her appetite.
Qian Jianjun not only reads jokes, novels, and newspapers, but also serves tea, water, and peels fruit. Aside from going to the bathroom and washing up, he does almost everything himself. Ke Yike not only cooks three meals a day, afternoon tea, and midnight snacks in various ways, but also makes snacks, drinks, cookies, and cakes.
Xue Jiuyue was happy, in pain, missing someone, and feeling lonely...
The operation went as planned.
Despite all the anticipation and prayers, the results were far from ideal. Xue Jiuyue experienced an immune rejection reaction.
"We suggest that you remove the artificial cornea first, and then transfer him to the best ophthalmology hospital in Dongyuan. Let's see if there are any other options. The retinal repair surgery there is more advanced than ours." It was Director Chen who gave the suggestion again.
Elder Qiu was extremely anxious. "Then let's contact the hospital for transfer as soon as possible."
Director Chen said worriedly, "Okay, contact them as soon as possible. But there's a shortage of beds there, so we'll help you contact them! If the retina isn't repaired for a long time, the damage will be irreversible."
Mr. Qiu held Director Chen’s hands and said, “Thank you, Director Chen. Please!”
Just as Elder Qiu had seen Director Chen off, Qian Jianjun returned with a message, "Er Qiu, we've arranged a bed. I'll have the artificial cornea removed today and fly over tomorrow. But there's no cornea available there, so you might have to wait..."
"We have to go there first and figure out a solution! Let's all go! What do you think, Xiaoyue?"
When Elder Qiu came over to ask, Xue Jiuyue was secretly feeling sad. "Listen to your godfather, let's take it one step at a time... But you are all so busy, don't do it for me... Just let Zhou Ying, Yi Yi and the others accompany me, at most Qiu Nian can come along."
"Kid, even if you're being polite, there's a time limit!" Old Qiu pretended to be angry. "Now everything is centered around your recovery!"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Qiu hit the nail on the head. Xiaoyue, your health is the top priority!" Qian Jianjun not only agreed, but also offered a new reasoning. "And don't you always tell me to return to my family? I've been with you these past few days and I've realized that the company can run just fine without me. I was so wrong before! Not only am I not as important as I thought, I might even be hindering the development of young people."
Qian Jianjun's reasoning brought a long-lost smile to Xue Jiuyue's face. "So, I still have merits, right?"
"That's a must!"
Qian Jianjun's extremely kind attitude amused even the frowning Mr. Qiu.
So they almost booked all the first-class tickets for Xia Lin's flight to Dong Yuan the next morning. Tu Xinyue also wanted to go, but Qian Jianjun denied her request with an administrative order.
In case of emergency during the journey, and to ensure a more professional and convenient care for Xue Jiuyue in Dongyuan, Qian Jianjun also discussed with Mr. Qiu and coordinated two female nurses from a private hospital to go with him. This suggestion made Mr. Qiu repeatedly praise Qian Jianjun for his thoughtfulness.
But no matter how carefully they prepared, there was still no good news from the hospital in Dongyuan. There were no natural corneas here.
Xue Jiuyue was unaware of this news. Qian Jianjun and the others simply dedicated themselves to accompanying her, hoping to ease her worries. Qian Jianjun, in particular, continued to accompany her tirelessly every day, just as he had at Xialin, taking care of every detail and taking great pains. Whenever he sat down, he would read the newspaper, novels, and tell jokes to Xue Jiuyue. Although Xue Jiuyue couldn't see, she could tell from Mr. and Mrs. Qiu's urgings that Qian Jianjun eat more that he had lost a lot of weight.
Of course, the others were also very hard-working. No matter how Xue Jiuyue persuaded them, they tried their best to stay by the bedside. Mrs. Qiu didn't talk much, but she really cared for Xue Jiuyue like a mother, caring for her in every possible way, even the slightest emotional change.
Xue Jiuyue was touched by the care shown by everyone around her, but she still couldn't let go of her thoughts about Liu Che. Even though Liu Che didn't reply, she still sent him messages, asking about his fracture and telling him about her own situation...
Liu Che, who had always been missed by Xue Jiuyue, was now sitting in the wheelchair Xue Jiuyue had given him, immersed in the darkness of the shadows. He could also learn about Xue Jiuyue's situation at any time from Mr. Qiu.
He was heartbroken that he couldn't breathe because he couldn't be with Xue Jiuyue. But he endured it, and when he couldn't help it, he pinched the back of his right hand to wake himself up, even if it made marks or bleeding.
It was right for Qian Jianjun to stay, Xiaoyue needed him.
It was right for Mr. Qiu not to let me stay. I couldn't help at all and was just a burden.
Xiaoyue thinks about herself now, but what about the future? Will she be able to make her happy?
If I can't bring her more happiness, why bother showing up? — This is what Mr. Qiu once said.
After several treatments, Liu Che helped Mr. Qiu regain his lost memories.
At that time, Mr. Qiu was still young, but he encountered the darkest period of his life.
His business in Xialin County was bankrupt due to a broken capital chain, and his wife, who had married a city dweller, left him.
Life has lost all its color, and I can only drown my sorrows in alcohol every day.
Even though he was in excruciating pain all the time and was completely drunk, he still remembered his daughter's birthday.
He brought a birthday cake, lit three candles, managed to sing the birthday song, and then fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up again, he saw a raging fire in front of him and heard crying in his ears. The shock woke him up instantly.
He held his daughter tightly in his arms, and the thought of "I would rather die than let my daughter be safe" made him try his best to rush left and right in the sea of fire.
He rescued his daughter, but was left with scars on his face from burns.
I came here alone from my hometown to make a living. Now I have no relatives, no money, and only the ruins of my home are left.
In despair, he just wanted to give himself a quick death, but his daughter was a concern that was more important than his own life.
With no money to eat, for the sake of his daughter, he put aside his dignity and went to the restaurant to do odd jobs just to get something to eat.
Every day, he endured the burning pain on his face. He had no money or time for treatment. And it was better not to get treatment. If he didn't, no one would recognize him, the man who would rather break than bend.
But what about his daughter's future? This worry was even more distressing to him than the scar on his face.
Until one day he overheard two guests chatting.
"How was the inspection these two days? Can the equipment you developed be used here?" the woman asked.
The man was a little frustrated. "No, this place is too far from Qiuting, and many supporting facilities are inconvenient. Besides, I don't feel safe if I don't guard the new equipment."
Hearing this conclusion, the woman lamented, "I thought if it succeeded, it would create a lot of jobs and help the villagers get rich."
"You just can't stand seeing others suffer. I was originally here for tourism, but you turned it into poverty alleviation. Even if we want to help others, we can't do it recklessly, otherwise we will only cause trouble and be counterproductive."
Hearing the man's complaints, the woman retorted, "You're always blaming me, but weren't you secretly giving money to those kids? And I saw you stuffed the pockets of that little girl who just said goodbye to you. Did you spend all the money, so our vacation was cut in half?"
The man immediately said with a playful smile: "Isn't this all thanks to your good husband-raising skills? I am influenced by the company I keep."
"You're so old, but you're still not serious. It's a good thing we can't have children, otherwise you would have led them astray!"
The man was even more out of character, "We can't have children, so I'm your child? Mom, eat some vegetables!"
…
These conversations were unintentional, but the listeners took them seriously. After a brief moment of reflection, the young Mr. Qiu rushed out and knelt before the two men.
