Chapter 4 Peritoneal Disease



The topic immediately became the number one hot search.

The comment section is bustling with most people being face addicts who come in just to flatter the looks. A small number of people flatter the looks while speculating whether it is a certain trainee who is about to debut and this is a marketing hype. There are also nitpickers who question whether the filters and photo-editing are too excessive and then just flatter the looks.

But no matter who they were, they were all clamoring for Gu Qingchi’s Weibo.

When Guo Ling woke up, he found that his Weibo account, which originally had only a few hundred zombie fans, suddenly had tens of thousands of fans. In addition, he received countless private messages with flattering intentions, although the ultimate purpose was to ask for help from Gu Qingchi on Weibo.

But Guo Ling's sadness over the breakup was completely washed away by these flattering comments with impure motives.

She went to Gu Qingchi in a daze to seek advice. After getting the answer, she very straightforwardly posted a Weibo telling the onlookers to go to bed, saying that the boy didn't have a Weibo account and didn't want to make it public.

Then I lost fans.

But there are still so many fans left. The little girl who once stayed up all night because of excitement about the number of fans reaching 100 is now very happy. For the first time, she happily handed her mobile phone to her mother, packed up contentedly and went to school to prepare for the start of school.

Gu Qingchi doesn't use Weibo and usually lives like an old man. His only bad habit is drinking.

The ups and downs on Weibo had little effect on him, although the foreman did mention it, mostly as a joke.

Gu Qingchi had never paid attention to it at all. He hadn't even read the Weibo post. He was still confused when Guo Ling came to ask him.

He didn't have any special feelings after knowing this. Before this, some people had come to him to sign contracts with entertainment companies, but they were all rejected by Gu Qingchi.

He is quite satisfied with his current life, which is ordinary and plain. He does an ordinary job, gets an ordinary salary, and lives an ordinary life. This is already good enough.

Whether you have no ambition or no future, it's good to live like this.

"Qingchi, we are short of tableware."

Gu Qingchi responded and turned to go to the kitchen.

Xie Luyu loves to check Weibo and always keeps up with the trend of the times. Sometimes he knows more about the latest developments than the public relations department.

When I was young and energetic, it was common for me to make indiscriminate ridicules.

He doesn't do this kind of thing very often now.

It’s not because he can’t lift a knife anymore, but because his agent changed his Weibo password eight hundred years ago. Now it’s not him behind that Weibo, but the entire operations department.

Xie Luyu's fans not only knew nothing about this, but were also very pleased about it, saying that he has grown and matured over the years and finally stopped talking nonsense.

Xie Luyu was very disdainful of this.

A bunch of fake fans were so easily blinded. I advise you to cherish the few real things.

Having been deprived of the right to use his main account, Actor Xie has always been active on the front line using his small account.

Today is no exception.

He had no intention of clicking on the trending search that suddenly popped up in the front, but he just stayed in the circle and knew what was going on at a glance.

Just by looking at the title he knows what the hype is about, it's nothing more than some stunningly beautiful persona or something like that. Such hot searches appear every few days, and they are either young idols who have already debuted or are about to debut.

Xie Luyu walked around and came back to find that the trending search had climbed to the top. He became interested and wanted to see which newcomer was so ignorant.

Buying hot searches is a common practice, but except for some large projects, this kind of hype of personalities usually does not occupy the first place right away.

"That's too much. You bought the first place. That's enough. It's not good to waste the country's gossip resources here-"

Actor Xie's sharp comments came to an abrupt end the moment he clicked on the page. The first photo he saw was the one in which Gu Qingchi was holding a tray in one hand, was suddenly called, and then turned his head sideways.

Xie Luyu immediately recalled that night in his mind. He half-took off his shirt and looked at him sideways. Although his eyes and brows were cold, his every move seemed to ignite desire.

Just looking at that made his whole body feel like it was burning and his scalp went numb. Xie Luyu hadn't had that tingling feeling on his scalp for a long time.

The last time I had this feeling was when I was filming a movie abroad. I was acting with a veteran actor and it made me so excited. After it was over, I felt completely refreshed.

He lay on the sofa, looked at the young man in the photo, and raised his eyebrows.

“I believe this.”

The whole morning, Xie Luyu clicked in and never clicked out. He watched the video over and over again for more than ten times, and finally saved it locally.

Xie Luyu was immersed in Weibo when his agent came in from outside and threw a brown paper file bag to Xie Luyu.

The agent is seven or eight years older than Xie Luyu. He is very efficient and careful, and usually takes care of everything for Xie Luyu.

She is just a little long-winded, like an old mother, irritable but gentle at the same time, long-winded but careful. She is from Northeast China and usually restrains her accent, but when she gets angry, she starts to speak in Northeastern dialect.

"The divorce is done. The lawyer is pretty good. I heard he didn't suffer any loss. Give me his phone number later. I'll contact him if I have any problems in the future. The lawyer brought the things he threw to you today. He said you never went to get them. I said, why don't you pay some attention to the progress? You're getting a divorce as if it were my divorce."

After saying this, without waiting for Xie Luyu to speak, he spat and slapped himself. He and his wife had been in a long-term relationship for five years and just got married this year. They were in love and loved each other very much. He looked at her like the apple of his eye.

Xie Luyu casually put the bag into the drawer of his office.

"Why should I care? I don't know him and he doesn't know me. We have never met before and we won't meet again in the future."

Xie Luyu vowed solemnly.

Gu Qingchi pushed the remaining half of the cat food forward.

The little tabby cat came forward aggrievedly and ate two pieces, then refused to move. It quietly slipped to Gu Qingchi and snuggled into his arms.

Gu Qingchi didn't take it out of his arms. Instead, he touched its slightly swollen belly, lifted it by the scruff of the neck and stuffed it into the cat bag.

She simply put on her coat and went out with the cat bag.

Maybe because it was night, there were not many people in the pet hospital, except for one girl who brought her golden retriever to get a booster shot.

Soon it was Gu Qingchi's turn. After some examinations, ultrasound and X-rays, the kitten burrowed into Gu Qingchi's arms.

The doctor looked through the documents.

"It can be confirmed that it is ascites, but it is not yet certain whether it is infectious peritonitis. We have to wait another two hours."

He put the information aside.

"I have to tell you first, if it's feline infectious peritonitis, we generally recommend euthanasia. The mortality rate of infectious peritonitis is as high as 95%. There is currently no precedent for curing this disease. You can only keep taking medicine and injections. You can't stop, and the price is not low. Often the money is spent and the cat is not cured."

Gu Qingchi nodded to show that he understood.

It was finally diagnosed as infectious peritonitis.

The treatment fee is indeed expensive, about 15,000 or 16,000 yuan a month including various nutritional supplements. Gu Qingchi has never made a special effort to save money. He is alone with a cat, so he doesn't think too much about spending money and lives a carefree life.

But he made a lot of money quickly from his job, and his tips were usually enough to cover a month's salary. Gu Qingchi didn't have much extra money to spend, so even though he didn't save any money specifically, he still had quite a bit in his card.

But all his current savings combined were barely enough to cover one month's treatment.

Gu Qingchi paid for one course of treatment first.

The doctor confirmed again and again.

"Although the symptoms are not serious now, it requires long-term treatment and the medication cannot be stopped. If you cannot afford it in the end, I suggest you just stay at home, which is good for both of you."

Gu Qingchi thanked him for the reminder.

"Prescribe the medicine first."

He said calmly.

It’s not certain that Gu Qingchi likes Little Lihua very much, but when he brought it home, he was already aware of the responsibility for its life.

He rarely got close to the little tabby cat and held it in his arms. The little tabby cat curled up into a ball and licked Gu Qingchi's palm enthusiastically.

Gu Qingchi sighed.

"You are so unlucky."

Gu Qingchi is actually a somewhat lazy person. Although he will not shirk his work, once he finds a lifestyle that he feels comfortable with, he will not change it easily.

Unless he has to change, like now, his monthly salary plus tips are barely enough to cover Xiaolihua's treatment costs at best.
