Without a shred of shame, Ke Meiyu called out, "Dad Qin, can I ask you something?"
Qin Yuanjiu stumbled, glancing at her with a dark expression. His hands, tucked into his pants, clenched into tight fists, concealing his surging passion. His voice was hoarse, "Silly girl, speak!"
Ke Meiyu glared at him. "I'm stupid. You married me, so you're obviously not much smarter than me!"
He longed to pet her fur again.
"You can cut off my head and let my blood flow, but my hairstyle must not be messed up," she snapped, dodging away and slapping his hand in the process.
"Let's get down to business," she said with a smile, "Comrade Qin, how much money do you have left?"
"Hmm? What do you want to do?" Qin Yuanjiu asked, looking at her with gentle eyes.
“Look, my brothers and I are going to study in the provincial capital. These schools have a long history and outdated facilities. At the very least, I can’t get used to living in the dorms. Several people are crammed into a small room, and the smell of the toilet can permeate the entire floor.”
"Besides, I'm not a piece of RMB that can please everyone. If I had to face people I dislike while I'm sleeping and relaxing every day, I would become depressed!"
"So, Comrade Qin, could we buy a small courtyard house?"
Holding a bag of steamed buns, she asked pitifully, her voice full of pleading.
Qin Yuanjiu's gaze was indifferent. "Beg me, beg me and I'll buy it for you!"
Ke Meiyu tilted her head. Does the big villain have a taste for this?
She had never known the meaning of shame, and with a chuckle, she took half a step forward, "Brother Qin, Brother Yuan, Ninth Brother, Father Qin, please..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Yuanjiu strode away, her ears, hidden under her hair, turning a deep red that looked almost like they were about to bleed!
"Hey, Dad, you haven't said whether you agree or not yet!"
“Ke Meiyu,” he suddenly stopped and turned around, and a soft, delicate woman bumped into him.
She opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "Here!"
Qin Yuanjiu pinched her cheek, not daring to pull it too hard, "It's so thick it could build a city wall. Buy it, or I'd be letting down your long and urging name."
She chuckled and took light, cheerful steps. "But Comrade Qin likes to hear that, doesn't he?"
Ke Meiyu found the place as if she knew it like the back of her hand.
In order to sell their house, they have moved into a tenement building. Because the lady of the house is sick, they built a wall with scrap bricks on the far side of the first floor, making it a separate household that is easy to spot.
Ke Meiyu went to knock on the door first.
A thin, neatly dressed man came out and asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
His face was etched with worry, and his voice was hoarse.
“I’m looking for my great-aunt,” Ke Meiyu said quickly with a smile. “I heard she was sick, so my grandma asked me to come and take a look at her.”
"Old Wang, who is it?" A weak woman had barely finished speaking when she coughed a series of coughs.
Ke Meiyu glanced guiltily at Qin Yuanjiu, whose expression was aloof. The woman's voice sounded like she wasn't that old...
Oh no, she's got a fixed mindset. She thinks most people with tuberculosis are elderly, and since she's a university professor, if she's assigned to a family compound, she must be an old professor, right?
“You must have mistaken us for someone else. It’s just my husband and me here,” the man shook his head, then replied gently, “Xiaoqin, there’s no one here. We’re just asking for directions!”
“That’s right, that’s right,” Ke Meiyu said, forcing a smile. “My distant relatives, my great-aunt might not even know me. My great-grandmother came here with others who were fleeing famine. Anyway, we’re too far apart, but that’s still a relationship, isn’t it?”
“My grandma heard that my aunt was sick, so she asked me to come and take a look. I used to study medicine in the mountains, so maybe I can help.”
The man smiled in front of the door, no longer dwelling on the family relationship, and simply said, "Miss, my girlfriend has highly contagious tuberculosis. The doctors, the doctors all say, she's just going through the motions now, barely scraping by..."
“I appreciate your good intentions on her behalf, but I,” he said, his eyes reddening and his voice slightly choked, “I just hope to accompany her on her final journey.”
Ke Meiyu was inexplicably touched, and her eyes blurred for a moment.
She blinked and smiled, saying, "I know! I'm a doctor, you have to trust my expertise. I have indeed treated similar patients before."
As she spoke, she took out a mask from her pocket, put it on, and said to Qin Yuanjiu, "Comrade Qin, please wait outside."
The man's hands trembled slightly with excitement: "Young man, you can't joke like that. Tuberculosis is a very serious disease that is difficult to cure nationwide, and... and my girlfriend has reached the most severe stage. Even if she goes to a hospital in Beijing, she will only live for another three to five months..."
“I’m planning to sell my house and take her with me.”
"Whether it's a joke or not, you'll know once you try it. What are you dawdling about, you big man?" Ke Meiyu shoved the person aside, walked into the house, opened the curtains, and then opened the window, instantly making the dark and stuffy room bright and airy!
"No, Xiaoqin can't stand the cold wind..." The man hurriedly stepped forward to close the window.
“Comrade, it’s only early afternoon, there’s no wind outside, and the temperature is quite warm,” Ke Meiyu said helplessly. “My method of treating patients is a little different from others. Since I’m the one treating them, you should definitely follow my method.”
"You stay outside for now, and come back when I call you!"
The room was very small; not only could you hear what was happening inside and outside the door, but you could also hear everything that was happening next door.
Yao Yiqin finally managed to stop coughing and said very slowly, "Young comrade, you still have so much of your life ahead of you, don't risk your life and waste your time here with me."
As she spoke, she coughed repeatedly.
Ke Meiyu stepped forward and forcefully slapped the specially made cough-suppressing talisman onto her back, then pretended to massage her.
In less than half a minute, Yao Yiqin was pleasantly surprised to find that the cough that had been bothering her for so long had actually been suppressed.
She wanted to grab Ke Meiyu's hand, but was afraid of infecting her with the virus, so she could only excitedly clutch her clothes: "Little, little doctor, you... I, I don't want to cough at all now!"
Song Yanbai also clung to the door frame, covering his face, his whole body trembling with excitement.
"Yes, I used the unique Qi-soothing technique created by my sect to temporarily regulate your breathing, but this is only a temporary solution, so we have to take it slowly," Ke Meiyu said in a serious tone, making up a bunch of nonsense.
“Yanbai, I want to try one last time,” Yao Yiqin said. She was thin, with unusually large phoenix eyes.
For the past six months, she had been trying to adapt to leaving this warm, bright, lively world full of love and care. To avoid adding to her lover's grief and burden, Yao Yiqin passively accepted all the treatments.
But she herself had never had the slightest thought of survival. This time, she saw the vibrant and beautiful Ke Meiyu bathed in sunlight.
Yao Yiqin felt that her gloomy world had been illuminated. Perhaps she should believe that miracles exist in this world, and that Ke Meiyu was the messenger who brought miracles!
