Upon hearing this, Xu's father became so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at them, shouting, "You're just being ridiculous! We've already promised them, how can we go back on our word so easily? A person must be trustworthy!"
However, Xu's mother remained unmoved, arms crossed, and resolutely replied, "I don't care about anything else. I absolutely cannot stand by and watch that girl drag my son down in the future."
After saying that, she ignored Xu's father and turned to walk straight into the house.
On the other side, Shen Xiaochuan held Shen Xiaoxiao tightly and ran wildly towards the town.
He walked quickly, as if the wind was blowing under his feet, and large beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe them away.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to get to town as soon as possible and find a doctor to treat his sister.
Meanwhile, Shen Xiaoxiao, who was being held tightly in her brother's arms, slowly woke up during the bumpy journey.
She blinked her large, still slightly confused eyes, looked around, and didn't know where she was.
Strangely enough, after waking up, Shen Xiaoxiao did not feel the excruciating pain and discomfort she had experienced when she vomited blood, as if pierced by a thousand arrows.
On the contrary, at this moment she felt an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort throughout her body, as if all her illnesses had left her in an instant.
She shifted her body slightly, then tilted her head back, her gaze falling directly on her brother's face as he carried her as they ran.
Shen Xiaochuan's once handsome face was now covered in sweat, with glistening beads of sweat sliding down his forehead and wetting a few strands of hair.
Despite this, he showed no sign of stopping and continued to run forward, panting heavily.
Seeing her brother working so hard, Shen Xiaoxiao felt a warm feeling well up in her heart.
She opened her mouth and whispered in an extremely weak voice, "Brother..."
Shen Xiaochuan, who was running with his head down, suddenly heard his sister's all-too-familiar voice.
The shout startled him, and he stopped in his tracks abruptly.
He quickly lowered his head, his concerned gaze fixed on Shen Xiaoxiao, and asked anxiously, "Little sister, how are you? Where does it hurt? Tell your brother quickly, and I'll take you to the hospital right away!"
As he spoke, Shen Xiaochuan was still panting heavily, clearly exhausted from the previous rapid run. But at this moment, all he could think about was his sister's safety, and he didn't care how tired he was.
He was out of breath when he spoke because he had run so fast.
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to hug Shen Xiaoxiao and continue running.
"Brother, I'm fine, let's go home!" Shen Xiaoxiao said quickly, not wanting her brother to work so hard because of her.
However, Shen Xiaochuan shook his head, his attitude unusually firm: "No, you have to go to the hospital! You just vomited blood, you must have the doctor give you a thorough check-up to see what's wrong with your body."
Although his sister's voice didn't sound as weak as it had after vomiting blood, his worry remained undiminished, and he insisted on taking her to the hospital for treatment.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her brother otherwise, Shen Xiaoxiao had no choice but to nod obediently and agree to go to the hospital.
Shen Xiaochuan carried the person and ran non-stop towards the town's hospital.
Time passed slowly, each second seemingly stretched out infinitely. More than half an hour had gone by, the long and agonizing time feeling endless.
Shen Xiaochuan carried her the whole time, and Shen Xiaoxiao repeatedly asked to get down and walk by herself, but he refused. Finally, they arrived at the hospital entrance.
Shen Xiaochuan received extremely rigorous training from a young age, and his endurance far exceeded that of ordinary people.
But even with his remarkable resilience, he had reached his limit after this long run with the added weight.
At that moment, he barely managed to finish the race only because of the strong willpower deep within his heart.
If it weren't for his perseverance, he probably would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
Upon arriving at their destination, Shen Xiaochuan collapsed to the ground like a punctured balloon, shouting, "Doctor! Doctor, come quick!"
His voice echoed across the empty space, sounding particularly urgent and panicked.
Before long, a group of doctors and nurses rushed over upon hearing the noise and quickly surrounded Shen Xiaochuan.
Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao standing there unharmed and lively, everyone wondered if Shen Xiaochuan was injured or something had happened, so they all focused their attention on Shen Xiaochuan.
Facing the concerned gazes of everyone, Shen Xiaochuan gasped for breath and said intermittently, "Doctor... I'm... fine. My... sister just... vomited... blood. Please... check her up. I'm just... too... tired, I'm exhausted."
Upon hearing this, the doctors exchanged bewildered glances, their faces showing disbelief.
One of the doctors frowned and said, "Young man, you must be joking. Look at your sister, she's in such good spirits, she doesn't look like she's vomiting blood at all."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaochuan became even more anxious. Ignoring his exhausted body, he raised his voice and shouted.
"How could I...lie to you? Quickly show my sister that I'm really...fine, just...tired, let me rest for a while...and I'll be fine."
Seeing his determination and anxiety, the doctor, though still having doubts, decided to do as he requested and conduct a comprehensive examination on Shen Xiaoxiao.
The doctor quickly took out a stethoscope from his medical bag, his movements practiced and professional.
He gently placed the stethoscope on Shen Xiaoxiao's chest and listened carefully to the sound of her heartbeat.
Then, he grasped Shen Xiaoxiao's wrist, feeling the rhythm and strength of her pulse.
After a thorough examination, the doctor smiled and said to Shen Xiaochuan, "Look, your sister's heart is strong and her pulse is steady and normal. She is in good health and there is no problem at all."
Hearing the doctor say that, Shen Xiaochuan finally felt a little relieved.
Only then did he feel his legs, which had been weak from excessive tension, gradually regain their strength. He slowly walked to the side and sat down, quietly listening to the conversation between the doctor and his sister.
"Doctor, could you please take a look at why my sister suddenly vomited blood? It's really strange," Shen Xiaochuan asked, frowning with worry.
The doctor shook his head and answered truthfully, "Judging from your sister's pulse and heartbeat, she is perfectly healthy and doesn't look like she's vomiting blood at all."
Thank you for your love and support!
