Xu Min could only take the money he had left and take her to the city first.
When he took her to the hospital for treatment, he was told...
"Pay first, six hundred yuan."
Xu Min froze, clutching the last ten yuan in his hand.
After a long pause, Xu Min slowly spoke: "Could you treat my sister's illness first? I'll try to find a way."
I heard that you can sell your blood in the city. He's a big guy, so if he gets blood drawn a few times, he can save his sister.
The doctor said, "No, you have to pay now. The surgery can't be done without payment. I'll give you another half hour. If you don't pay now, your sister might not even make it through the night."
The money in Xu Min's hand fell to the ground.
"I'll pay for it for him."
Suddenly a large hand snatched the bill from the doctor's hand.
Xu Min turned around and saw Song You, dressed fashionably and wearing an Ingenia watch.
It's different from the one I have.
The watch on Song You's wrist is worth five hundred yuan.
Song You paid the fee and smiled as he looked at Xu Min, who had no expression on his face.
"Sign the surgical consent form."
Xu Min slowly lowered his eyelids and took the consent form from his hand.
Before he could even sign the document, he heard Song You say, "Did you see the surgeon's name?"
Xu Min subconsciously looked up.
He wasn't very literate, but he still recognized it at a glance.
The lead surgeon was Nam Kyung-hoon.
Song You: "Nanzhi's father."
Xu Min had already guessed it.
She said that her father was a tuberculosis expert.
"Her father was a strong advocate of marriage between people of similar social standing."
"Xu Min, whether your life is a success or a failure, no one knows for sure, but your sister's follow-up treatment will still cost a lot."
"Do you want to keep dragging her down and causing her to break ties with her parents?"
"You two are not compatible, break up with her."
Xu Min didn't speak, but lowered his head and silently signed his name.
"Thank you, I will pay you back."
He turned around, handed the consent form to the doctor, and then stayed in the operating room, leaving Song You with only his back to him.
Nanzhi heard the news the next day.
"003, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Sorry, Zhizhi, I didn't detect anything last night.
Nanzhi quickly got dressed, asked her counselor for leave, and ran to the hospital.
At the hospital entrance, 003 told her again that Xu Min had gone to sell his blood.
Nanzhi quickly ran to stop him.
When she arrived, Xu Min was preparing to donate blood.
Nanzhi grabbed him and pulled him outside.
She stopped when they reached an open space.
"Don't you know selling blood is dangerous?" she yelled at him. "So many people have died from infections caused by selling blood. Don't you want to live too?"
Xu Min didn't say anything.
He looked down at the girl's angry expression, his heart seemingly already dead.
He really doesn't deserve her.
He will fail, fail countless times.
Her life shouldn't be dragged down by him.
Nanzhi hugged him: "Xu Min, if there's any difficulty we can't overcome, let's figure it out together, okay? You're not allowed to do these dangerous things anymore. What would I do if something happened to you?"
"sorry."
Nanzhi thought he knew he was wrong and was just feeling relieved when she heard him say, "Let's break up."
Nanzhi lifted her head from his embrace.
"Did someone force you?"
“…No.” Xu Min looked at her, his tone extremely strained. “I’ve realized that we’re not from the same world. We’re not right for each other. I’m not good enough for you.”
"If I say you're worthy, then you're worthy."
Xu Min slowly pushed her away. He didn't look at her; instead, he kept his head down.
"Actually, I don't really like you that much. Being with you is exhausting, and I can't continue like this."
Nanzhi stared at him: "Are you sure you won't regret breaking up with me?"
Xu Min didn't say anything.
Nan Zhi remained silent for a long time. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded: "Okay, I agree."
Nanzhi untied the necklace from her neck and handed it to him: "Here you go."
Xu Min did not answer.
Nan Zhi was simply shoved into his hand.
"Give me back my watch."
Xu Min stiffly reached to unfasten his watch.
He hesitated to hand it over, but Nanzhi couldn't wait and took it directly.
She glanced at him, then turned and left.
Xu Min watched her departing figure, gripping the necklace tightly, his whole body trembling slightly.
Only after she was completely out of sight did I dare let the tears in my eyes fall.
[Zhizhi, Xu Min cried. He seems reluctant to part with you. Aren't you going back to see him?]
"I'm not going."
Nanzhi kicked at the pebbles by the roadside, saying, "It's always been me who takes the initiative, which is exhausting. It's time for him to take over."
What if he doesn't take the initiative?
"That proves he'll always be a coward, and I don't like seducing cowards."
Nan Zhi knows why Xu Min wants to break up.
Besides Song You and her parents' reasons, there were also reasons related to himself and his sister.
This incident with A-Yuan made him realize that he was unsure whether he could give her a good life in the future.
He was afraid of failing again and again.
He feared he would never be good enough for her.
So she agreed to separate; she could give him time.
If he continues to be timid and never comes to see her again, then so be it.
Anyway, it won't matter if the mission fails.
She doesn't want to do this task again; she can just skip it and choose another one.
Nanzhi didn't rush back to school; instead, she went to the hospital to visit Xu Qingyuan.
Xu Qingyuan had already fallen asleep, and Nanzhi prepared a potion for the system to relieve her pain.
