"Or... forget it."

Chen 꼎 looked at Su Ruchu and grinned.

"I'll take you back."

Su Ruchu looked surprised.

"Are you... sure?"

"What will you do if you go back?"

Chen shrugged, "You should go home too. You can't stay in a hotel alone, right?"

"But……"

Su Ruchu was too embarrassed to say the second half, because she knew Chen had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"It's okay."

Chen 꼎 gently embraced Su Ruochu.

"Like you said, love is not just sex, there is more to it."

"I love you. So I won't force you to do anything you don't like."

Su Ruochu whispered: "놖...I don't dislike it."

Chen 꼎 smiled, "Then today's time is wrong, which proves that our destiny has not arrived yet."

After saying that, he lightly kissed Su Ruchu on the forehead.

"I hope that your love will be harmonious and natural, and everything will come naturally."

"For you, this should also be the most memorable experience in your life, so I hope to give you the most perfect memory, rather than looking back on it with regrets in the future."

Su Ruchu was deeply moved and whispered while hugging Chen 꼎.

"sorry."

"I don't blame you."

"If you want to blame someone, blame the damn weather. Why is it snowing so heavily when it's so sunny?"

Chen 꼎's words successfully made Su Ruochu laugh.

"So... you're going back?"

"Let's go back." Chen 꼎 nodded, "Do you want me to take you home?"

"No. We're not going the same way. Just take a taxi."

"You should go back early too." Su Ruchu hugged Chen Xiao reluctantly.

"When you get home, you must call me to let me know you're safe."

"Yes, sir."

The two of them stayed in bed for a while, and then Chen Xiao stopped a taxi and watched Su Ruchu drive away.

He waved and watched Su Ruchu leave.

Chen 꼎 put down his arms, turned his head to look at the express hotel in front of him, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

There have been two accidents in a row.

This love is too... full of twists and turns.

Wrapping himself in his down jacket again, Chen 꼎 walked along the street, preparing to hail a taxi and leave.

But after walking only a few steps, Chen 꼎 stopped again.

Because I saw an acquaintance.

Across the street, a middle-aged man in thin clothes stood there, holding a cardboard in his hand.

Whenever he saw a private car coming out of the hotel parking lot, the middle-aged man would run over and start selling himself to the car.

But what they often get is rejection and loud scolding.

After being rejected by four people in succession, the middle-aged man did not look disappointed, but just a little numb.

He temporarily put the cardboard on the ground, then put his hands into his sleeves and stomped his feet hard.

Use this method to keep yourself warm.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the man was only wearing an ordinary dirty coat.

There was no way to avoid the cold, and I was standing on the road shivering from the cold.

There were probably fewer and fewer cars on the road, so the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, put away the cardboard, turned around and left.

Chen stood on the opposite side and took it all in.

This middle-aged man was the one who bumped into Su Ruchu this afternoon.

Chen 꼎 didn't expect to run into him here again.

We met twice in one day, it seems like we are really destined to be together.

I remember this person said before that he came out to raise money because a family member was in the hospital emergency room and he was in a hurry to raise money for surgery.

Chen 꼎 didn't care much at noon, but now he saw this scene.

On the contrary, I began to believe that what the middle-aged man said at noon might be true.

I looked around and saw no taxis passing by, but I had nothing to do anyway.

Chen Xiao simply followed Xiao.

I want to see if this middle-aged man is lying.

The middle-aged man in front was walking very fast, with hurried steps, as if he was in a hurry to get to the next place.

Chen 꼎 could only barely keep up with 껗 by jogging behind.

After crossing several intersections, just when Chen Xiao was out of breath and ready to give up, the middle-aged man in front of him suddenly stopped.

After standing on the side of the road and hesitating for a few seconds, he finally turned around and went into a supermarket nearby.

Chen 꼎 hid in the distance and waited for a while. Soon the middle-aged man came out with a plastic bag in his hand. Chen 꼎 could see clearly that there should be a bunch of bananas in it.

Seeing this person crossing the road, Chen 꼎 looked in the other direction.

District Hospital.

He actually came to the hospital.

Chen 꼎 thought that since he was already here, he walked into the hospital.

The man did not go to the outpatient building, but went to the inpatient department.

Chen followed behind, and went to the fifth floor, watching the middle-aged man enter a ward.

Chen pretended to be a patient's family member and walked quickly through the corridor.

When passing by the door of the ward, he glanced inside and then left quickly.

Arriving at the doctor's office at the end of the corridor, Chen 꼎 went over and knocked on the door.

"Who are you……"

A doctor inside looked up at Chen 꼎 in confusion.

"Doctor, I'm a friend of the patient in bed 32, and I want to know about the patient's condition."

"Bed 32?"

The doctor was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say you have no family or friends?"

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I just rushed here from outside."

The doctor didn't think much about it. He rummaged around on the table for a while and found a medical report.

"The condition of bed 32 is extremely serious. Our hospital recommends that you be transferred to a provincial hospital for treatment immediately."

"But they refused to transfer to another hospital."

Chen 꼎 immediately guessed that the middle-aged man was probably out of money, so he was unwilling to transfer to another hospital.

"Doctor, can you tell me what's wrong with bed 32?"

"Stomach cancer, it's already in the late stage."

Chen 꼎 was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

"Stomach cancer... In her case... is there a chance of cure through surgery?"

The doctor sighed and shook his head.

“The possibility is very low.”

"Besides, the success rate of the surgery is not very high, and the cost is a bit high. We two can't seem to afford the surgery fee..."

Chen 꼎 thought for a moment and asked, "If the operation is successful, can it cure this disease?"

The doctor shook his head.

"The chances are slim. She is in the advanced stage of gastric cancer. Even if she undergoes surgery, it can only help alleviate her pain and prolong her life a little bit..."

"If she doesn't have surgery, how much will she have left?"

The doctor thought for a moment and replied, "About a month."

"More than a month..."

Chen 꼎 sighed in his heart.

Now I understand why this middle-aged man would go out and look for people to promote himself without caring about his appearance.

They are all miserable people.

Although Chen 꼎 and Dui 뀘 were strangers, he didn't even know Dui 뀘's name.

But at this moment, Chen 꼎 suddenly had an impulse.

I came to help pay for the surgery.

Is it just for enjoyment to live a new life?

Chen 꼎 doesn't think so.

I didn't mean to be a pushover.

But tonight, because I had just separated from Su Ruchu, I was in a bad mood and a little depressed.

I urgently need to do something to vent.

Spending money is a good way to vent.

As the saying goes, happiness is priceless.

Chen 꼎 looked at the doctor.

"Doctor, may I ask how much is the total cost of my surgery?"

"About 22,000."

"I paid this money for her."

"But I have a request."
