Dream
When he saw the figure lying on the bed, a mere shell wrapped around a skeleton, all his beliefs collapsed, and his heart was torn apart inch by inch by the lifeless Shao Liyin lying on the bed...
His knees weakened, tears burned his eyes, and he almost crawled to the bed, reached out and held the bony hand.
"Ali, Ali..." Every word was stained with blood.
The hand moved, and the person on the bed opened his eyes. With just one look, a smile appeared in his eyes. Those eyes were still as bright as ever, never losing their brilliance: "Xiao Lai, you are here again."
Then he closed his eyes again and sighed helplessly: "You come at midnight every day, why are you here so early today?
This is a beautiful outfit. This is the first time I’ve dreamt of you wearing this. The white coat sets off you beautifully, better than in newspapers and magazines.”
After saying this, he seemed extremely tired, began to pant, closed his eyes again, and chuckled softly: "Maybe I really can't be happy anymore."
A Feng, who was standing by, held back his tears and said, "When Xiao Yin is awake, he always asks me to use my phone to search for your news, but the master won't let him use the phone because it has radiation that will affect his blood.
Later, Professor Tong, you became famous, and I often searched for magazines and newspapers about you and brought them to him.
That's why I recognized you at first sight yesterday."
Tong Xiaolai had completely collapsed beside the bed. She wanted to hug him tightly, but she didn't dare to use force. She could only hold that hand carefully and whispered softly over and over again: "Ali..."
Seeing him like this, Afeng was both anxious and angry: "Professor Tong, you are the only one who can save Xiaoyin now! Once you enter here, you can't escape. Xiaoyin has no choice but to complete this bone marrow transplant surgery.
I asked you to see him because I wanted you to understand his condition and develop the most comprehensive surgical plan. If it were any other doctor, they would only focus on the young master and no one would care about Xiaoyin's life or death.
Speaking of this, Afeng's eyes turned red with anger: "The master and the mistress are really too cruel. They are worried about the risks of bone marrow transplantation and have been delaying the operation. They must drain Xiaoyin's last drop of blood. They will not stop until Xiaoyin's body can no longer bear it, and then they will drain his bone marrow.
If Xiaoyin were to undergo another bone marrow transplant, she would have no chance of survival. They are murdering her."
Shao Liyin, who was lying on the bed, seemed to hear Afeng's voice and closed her eyes, scolding him: "Sister Afeng, you're talking nonsense again. If others hear you, you'll complain again. I've said it many times, I'm willing to do this, and I don't blame anyone."
Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke: "I'm just a little sorry for Mom. She hasn't come to see me in my dreams lately."
Tong Xiaolai was completely speechless, and didn't dare to exert force on the hand she was holding. She simply covered him with the quilt, smoothed his hair, and found a pair of black and gray leather gloves under the pillow. The cherry at the wrist had been worn and cracked.
Tears welled up in his eyes again. For the past ten years, Shao Linyin could only rely on this glove. Thinking of him, he suddenly felt extremely regretful. What he gave to A Li was too little.
"Sister Afeng, Ali..."
"Xiaoyin is a poor child..." Afeng sat aside and slowly talked about Shao Liyin, whom Tong Xiaolai didn't know.
***
Shao Liyin's mother is Xiao Qingxue, and Xiao Qingxue has an older sister named Xiao Qingyu. All the tragedies that happened to him and his mother were caused by Xiao Qingyu.
Shao Linyin's grandfather's ancestral home was in the far north. At that time, Xiao Qingyu was with Fu Zhenhuai. Because the distance was too far and the wealthy family was too complicated, his grandfather refused the marriage without even meeting Fu Zhenhuai.
However, Xiao Qingyu was determined to marry Fu Zhenhuai, so she broke off relations with her family and followed Fu Zhenhuai without hesitation.
The two got married and had a child, now Fu Nanqiao, who was born with congenital aplastic anemia.
The Fu family is rich, but money can't buy everything in this world, such as Xiao P's blood type.
They spent huge sums of money and searched all over the world, but even if they found one or two, no one was willing to risk their lives with such a rare blood type.
In despair and helplessness, Xiao Qingyu thought of a solution.
Since Fu Nanqiao, the child born to Xiao Qingyu and Fu Zhenhuai, has this blood type, what if Xiao Qingxue, who has the same blood type as her, and Fu Zhenhuai give birth to a child?
They had no choice but to give it a try. So Xiao Qingyu tricked her own sister from the north and let Fu Zhenhuai spend one night with her, and they had Shao Linyin.
Perhaps it was really God's will that Shao Linyin's every aspect matched Fu Nanqiao's blood type.
In order to ensure that Fu Nanqiao always had sufficient blood supply, they built this private hospital, and the doctors in the hospital all listened to Fu Zhenhuai.
Fu Zhenhuai coaxed Xiao Qingxue that he and his mother were kept in this villa, or rather in the hospital, and their daily lives were monitored by someone.
All of his diets are specially prepared to ensure that his blood is always in the healthiest state. Nutritionists have prepared all kinds of blood-boosting foods for him, including carrots, celery, fungus, various meats, and even livers...
Someone would watch him finish all the blood-replenishing potions, just to make his blood, which was in short supply, last a little longer.
Fu Zhenhuai told Xiao Qingxue that Shao Liyin was born with aplastic anemia, so she had to be careful everywhere and had to see a doctor and have her blood drawn...
In reality, it was to draw blood for Fu Nanqiao. Shao Liyin had long known that this was not the case. He was taken to the blood transfusion room, tied to the bed, and bags of blood were drawn. When he was young, he cried every time he saw the doctor coming with a needle, but he was afraid that his mother would worry, so he would only come out after crying himself out without saying anything.
Because of the blood test, his health was always poor. Also because of his poor health, his mother believed Fu Zhenhuai, and he would occasionally be thankful that his health was poor.
At that time, his mother would feel distressed when she saw how weak he was. She would always secretly make a plate of steamed sea bass when no one was paying attention and bring it to a corner of the magnolia forest.
"Shh, Xiaoyin, let's do this quietly and don't let others know."
That was probably the thing he looked forward to most in the past twelve years, waiting for a plate of steamed sea bass to appear occasionally.
He often thought that such days were actually wrong. His mother sat under the magnolia trees, watching him playing surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
However, people cannot think like this. Once they think like this, a turning point will occur.
Xiao Qingxue had never seen Fu Zhenhuai before, and she didn't know that Fu Zhenhuai already had a wife, who was her biological sister. She didn't know that every time she hugged Shao Linyin, who she thought was asleep but was actually in a coma due to anemia after having blood drawn, her so-called good husband was surrounding the bedside of Fu Nanqiao, who had just received a blood transfusion and had a rosy face, with her biological sister.
It was not until Shao Linyin was twelve years old that Xiao Qingyu accidentally saw Xiaoyin drawing blood. Even if she didn't understand, she knew that there was no reason to draw blood in bags from the body of a patient with severe anemia.
She ran to Fu Zhenhuai like crazy to question him, but saw Fu Zhenhuai and her sister hugging each other, surrounding Fu Nanqiao, who was raised with her son's blood, and completely collapsed.
She fought madly with Fu Zhenhuai and Xiao Qingyu, and was accidentally pushed down from the second floor of the villa by them...
When Shao Linyin broke free from the bodyguards and rushed into the hospital, Xiao Qingxue was actually beyond saving. She was seriously injured and had lost the will to live.
Shao Liyin stayed by the bed, and his mother grabbed his hand, asking him to escape. However, the ward was heavily guarded, and Xiaoyin had no chance to escape.
Xiao Qingxue asked Shao Linyin to pull out her breathing tube. As long as she died, there would be a big commotion in the hospital, and Afeng's mother could take advantage of the chaos to send him out.
He just stayed by the bed, crying and crying.
At the age of twelve, he actually knew the cruel truths earlier than his mother. He thought that as long as he played the role of the blood bank well, his mother would always be the happiest princess in the fairy tale.
Xiao Qingxue looked at him with reluctance and despair in her eyes. Facing such Fu Zhenhuai and Xiao Qingyu, she couldn't protect Xiaoyin, and she couldn't bear to watch Xiaoyin's life being drained away bit by bit.
She held Shao Liyin's hand and repeated over and over again, she was in so much pain, so much pain, she didn't want to see this happen...
"Xiaoyin, Mom is so sad, can you help Mom?"
"Xiaoyin, can you help your mother this time?"
Shao Linyin pulled out the tube. Xiao Qingxue looked at him with a smile full of relief and liberation.
"Xiaoyin, please forgive me. I'm a coward and I only know how to run away..."
"Xiaoyin, you must eat well, three meals a day. You must sleep well, get enough eight hours of sleep every day. You must study hard and live a good life."
"Xiaoyin, you have to run away, run away far away, and never come back."
The medical instrument made a flat yet sharp "beep" sound, and doctors and nurses rushed into the room.
Afeng's mother and Xiao Qingxue were college classmates. They worked as servants and housekeepers in the Fu family. After the private hospital was established, they were sent here.
She had concealed the truth from Xiao Qingxue for twelve years, and when faced with the dying Xiao Qingxue's request, she really couldn't bear to refuse.
Taking advantage of the chaos, she opened the door and escorted him out of the villa. At the door, she met Afeng who was looking for his mother. She pushed Afeng and Shao Linyin and ran away quickly.
They ran to the cottage by the sea. Shao Linyin just took a short breath and then got up to leave.
"where did you go?"
"I don't know, but staying here will only cause trouble for Sister Feng. If they find out I'm missing, they'll definitely come looking for me."
Afeng couldn't keep his mother, nor did he dare to keep her, after all, his mother was still working in the Fu family mansion.
Shao Liyin was right. As soon as he left, someone came to search. And from then on, people would occasionally come to Afeng's little house and monitor it.
***
A Feng said: "After he left, he never contacted me again. I don't know how he managed to survive at the age of twelve, with no money and poor health."
A Feng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Until eleven years ago, he came to my workshop and wanted to make a crystal wind chime. It takes at least twenty hours to make one from melting the raw materials to the final shape. I had a ready-made one for him to choose, but he said it was a gift for his lover and he wanted to make it himself.
It really took me a whole day and night to make it.
The following year, he came every day a month in advance and broke more than a dozen tsubasa before he finally made one that satisfied him. But for some reason, he'd just happily taken it home and called the next day to ask me to bring it back.
When he escaped, although the Fu family could not find any evidence that my mother helped him escape, they still punished my mother by making her an ordinary servant. We have been living under surveillance all these years.
This time he asked me to tell Fu Zhenhuai his news. I knew he also wanted to help me and my mother.
So I was transferred to this villa and became the housekeeper."
Looking at Shao Liyin who was fast asleep on the bed, Afeng recalled a long period of the past. His emotions had long since calmed down and he sighed softly: "To him, this place is a devil's den that eats his flesh and blood.
I just can't figure out why he came back on his own after running away for eight years."
