During breakfast, Lu Lingxi stared at Wang Shuxiu for several times. Wang Shuxiu's face was rosy and she spoke with full energy, not at all like someone who was tired from the New Year.
Including Yan Yue, there were only four people eating together. Lu Lingxi's little abnormality was soon discovered by the others. Wang Shuxiu looked at him strangely, "Is there something wrong with my face? What are you looking at, Xiaoxi?"
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?" Lu Lingxi simply asked her doubts, "Mom has been getting up late these days. Are you tired from the New Year celebrations?"
When he said this, Wang Shuxiu and Xiao Feng were both stunned. They really hadn't realized this problem. Wang Shuxiu thought about it and felt that she was a little sleepy these days and didn't want to get up in the morning. But she didn't take it seriously. It was normal to sleep more in winter when it was cold. "It's okay." Wang Shuxiu didn't care much, "Just sleep more when it's cold."
Xiao Feng said, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Wang Shuxiu laughed and said, "I can eat and drink well, so don't worry about why I should go to the hospital."
She said it was fine, and no one else could say anything. The topic at the dinner table turned to Yan Yue. Wang Shuxiu couldn't help but feel strange about Yan Yue's sudden return. She had never heard Xiaoxi say that Yan Yue would come back so soon before. When she heard Xiao Feng talk about it in the morning, Wang Shuxiu was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Speaking of which, she and Yan Yue have been neighbors for half a year, and she has a very good impression of Yan Yue. The only thing she felt was that Yan Yue didn't have a girlfriend at his age. She wondered if there was something wrong with Yan Yue's health. But whether to have a girlfriend was Yan Yue's own business. Wang Shuxiu was not a particularly gossipy person, so she just muttered a few words to herself and let it go.
When Wang Shuxiu asked why he came back so early, Yan Yue used work as an excuse. In addition to the cooperation with Gao Yongliang, he also mentioned Su Lang's research. As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shuxiu's heart moved and she thought of Pan Liang. The last time she went to see Pan Liang with Lin Mei, Wang Shuxiu really felt sorry for Pan Liang's son Pan Xiaobao. He suffered so much at such a young age, and she kept comforting Pan Liang that he was fine. This disease is a black hole that costs money. Pan Liang and his family have been in the hospital for a short time, and their previous savings have been spent. Now they have started to spend the money from selling the house.
Wang Shuxiu softened her heart and asked, "What are the conditions for recruiting volunteers for that study?"
Yan Yue shook his head. "There are no conditions, but the type of leukemia is different, so this experiment is not suitable for all patients."
Leukemia is just a general term, and it is clinically divided into different types according to the severity of the onset. Research from Su Lang's laboratory shows that the oridonin A purified from the mutant oridonium has a positive effect on the treatment of M2 acute myeloid leukemia, and can induce apoptosis of the pathogenic protein of this type of leukemia, with a very significant therapeutic effect. In particular, the mutant oridonium provided to them by Lu Lingxi has an A content that is 60% higher than that of ordinary oridonium, making it the most ideal raw material for Su Lang's research.
Yan Yue didn't understand much about this, but he quickly realized what was going on and was very knowledgeable and tactful. "Auntie, do you know any patients?"
Xiao Feng's mouth twitched slightly when he heard Yan Yue call him "Auntie" so calmly. But the way they addressed each other in their family had always been confusing, and no one was particular about it. For example, Yi Hang called Lu Lingxi the third child, and then called Wang Shuxiu sister. Hu Zi called him Brother Feng, and then called Lu Lingxi "Little Xi brother". Yan Yue was the most reliable, and he consciously put him and Xiao Xi in the same generation. Wang Shuxiu was not used to it at first, but she got used to it after hearing it many times.
She nodded, "Yes, there is a colleague, it's his son, the child is less than ten years old, it's really pitiful to see."
Yan Yue understood what Wang Shuxiu meant and groaned for a moment. "I don't know much about this either. I'll ask my friend to check out the situation. He's an expert in this area. If he's suitable, we can discuss recruiting him as a volunteer. Even if he's not suitable, he can help look into other things."
"Okay." Wang Shuxiu nodded. After dinner, she called Pan Liang and explained the situation. Pan Liang almost cried on the phone after receiving his call. A man in his thirties choked up and thanked Wang Shuxiu incoherently. Although being recruited as a volunteer does not necessarily mean that the disease can be cured, and no one knows whether these new drugs have any other consequences. But for Pan Liang, who was in despair, this was undoubtedly a light in the darkness.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Shuxiu sighed and told Yan Yue the address of Pan Liang. They had been in the hospital during the Chinese New Year, which happened to be the hospital where Lu Lingxi had been in the accident. Yan Yue did not delay and called Su Lang immediately, who readily agreed. When the two sides agreed on a time, Pan Liang was anxious, and Su Lang could only rest for a few days during the Chinese New Year, so they decided to meet in the morning.
Wang Shuxiu had nothing to do in the morning, so she thought about going to check on the situation. If she wanted to go, Xiao Feng would naturally go with her. Besides, Xiao Feng thought about going to the hospital to let the doctor check on Wang Shuxiu. She has indeed been able to sleep better these days. If Xiaoxi hadn't said it, he wouldn't have noticed it. The two discussed bringing something over, and Yan Yue turned around and saw Lu Lingxi's face as if he wanted to say something but stopped. Ever since they mentioned this topic, Lu Lingxi began to quiet down. Yan Yue understood and said softly, "Xiaoxi, do you want to go with us? And meet Su Lang by the way."
Lu Lingxi looked at Yan Yue and nodded hesitantly.
Although Wang Shuxiu was surprised that Lu Lingxi wanted to go together, it was not a bad thing. She simply said that the whole family would go, and they could buy some food on the way and bring it over, just as if they were going to pay New Year's greetings. After talking, they packed up their things and prepared to leave. Dahei definitely could not be brought along, as it was not appropriate to bring a pet to the hospital. Yan Yue looked at Dahei and thought of Xiaohei. It seemed that he had not seen Xiaohei since he came back last night. Before, Yan Yue was used to letting Xiaohei run free, and did not restrict Xiaohei's activities. In addition, his mind had been on Lu Lingxi since he came back, and he had not had time to look for Xiaohei. But it was a bit strange that Xiaohei had not shown up after he had been back for so long.
"Where did Xiao Hei go?" Yan Yue asked.
Lu Lingxi: “…”
He finally remembered what he had forgotten last night. He left Xiao Hei and the little red snake at home. Without bothering to say anything to Yan Yue, Lu Lingxi turned around and ran back to his room, not knowing whether Xiao Hei was still there.
"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei?"
Lu Lingxi walked around the room and saw neither Xiao Hei nor Xiao Hong Snake. He wondered if Xiao Hong Snake had been eaten by Xiao Hei.
"Xiaoxi? What's wrong?" Yan Yue saw Lu Lingxi behaving strangely and followed him into the room.
Lu Lingxi was a little embarrassed and quickly told him how Xiao Hei had caught a little red snake from somewhere yesterday and planned to exchange it with him for cake. However, he was in a hurry to see Yan Yue and forgot about Xiao Hei and the little red snake.
Yan Yue chuckled as he listened, and couldn't help but reach out and ruffle Lu Lingxi's hair. "Don't look for him yet. Xiao Hei must have eaten too much and is hiding somewhere to digest it."
Lu Lingxi frowned. He felt bad when he thought about Xiao Hei eating the little red snake.
Yan Yue curled up his lips, smiled and whispered, "Catch Xiao Hei when we get back from the hospital and brush his teeth thoroughly."
He said it lightly, and Lu Lingxi couldn't help but nodded with a smile. The thing that Xiao Hei hated most was brushing his teeth. Whenever he saw the signs of brushing his teeth, he would hide under the sofa and refuse to come out. Either Yan Yue could scare him, or Da Hei would catch him out. Anyway, Lu Lingxi couldn't do it on his own.
As the two were talking, Wang Shuxiu came over to greet them and prepared to go out. When she looked up, she saw the look in Yan Yue's eyes when he looked at Lu Lingxi, and her heart skipped a beat. When her eyes moved to Lu Lingxi's face, she felt that something was wrong. Did the two of them seem to be getting along a little too intimately?
It's no wonder Wang Shuxiu didn't notice it before. Although Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi had a good relationship, they didn't come here often unless there was something going on. Lu Lingxi would go to the next door to find Yan Yue. Wang Shuxiu was concerned that Yan Yue lived alone, so she never went to Yan Yue's place. Sometimes when they had dinner together, Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi acted very normal, just like friends, and looked no different from Yi Hang.
Wang Shuxiu felt strange. She didn't doubt the two of them, but she felt that they were too close. She had worked in KTV before and was well-informed. She knew that there were men who liked men, but as a normal parent, she would not think of her son in this way. Wang Shuxiu paused. Before she could say the word "Xiaoxi", Lu Lingxi turned around and saw her. She didn't know how long Wang Shuxiu stood at the door. Lu Lingxi's eyes wandered and she called out guiltily, "Mom."
Wang Shuxiu suppressed her anxiety and laughed, "What are you talking about?"
Yan Yue calmly changed the subject, "Let's talk about Xiao Hei. I haven't seen Xiao Hei all morning. I wonder where he went?"
Wang Shuxiu unconsciously thought of Xiao Hei as Yan Yue said, as if she hadn't seen Xiao Hei for a long time.
Yan Yue continued, "Xiao Hei is probably hiding somewhere, and Su Lang should be arriving at the hospital soon. We should also go out."
As soon as he said that, Wang Shuxiu thought of important matters and successfully changed the subject.
Lu Lingxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Yan Yue gave him a look that said it was okay. In fact, Yan Yue had already considered confessing to Wang Shuxiu, but he needed to find a suitable opportunity. Unlike Lu Yishui, Yan Yue did not intend to use any means to treat Wang Shuxiu. Firstly, the two had different personalities, and secondly, Yan Yue glanced at Lu Lingxi and noticed that Wang Shuxiu got up late. Xiaoxi really valued Wang Shuxiu as a mother.
After they left the house, Lu Lingxi glanced at the door of the building and saw a notice posted by a neighbor on the fourth floor. A small brown snake he kept was lost last night, and he asked the neighbors to pay attention. The snake was poisonous, and he had just bought it a few days ago, so he hadn't had time to extract its teeth. Below the notice was a large photo of a small snake. Lu Lingxi stared at the photo for a long time and confirmed that it was not the small red snake from last night.
Yan Yue frowned, "Another snake?"
Lu Lingxi nodded, always feeling that this was also done by Xiao Hei.
