Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Miss You
Guan Mi tossed and turned late at night, and was almost inclined to agree to Chen Yanfeng.
She had finally found a way to obtain this medicine, and she couldn't bear to see Guan Tang suffer from the long-term torture of hormones and the risk of recurrence of the disease because he couldn't use better medicine.
In the face of Guan Tang's life, what does her self-esteem mean?
But she still wanted to hold on to her last bit of dignity. She didn't want to use Shen Yanfeng's money.
Thinking of this, Guan Mi immediately opened the mobile banking app to check the balance of his salary card, which was only over 37,000 yuan.
She had asked Chen Yanfeng about the annual cost of treatment, and he said about 150,000. She felt that was too little.
A while ago, she logged onto the Internet and a patient with the same condition told her that it would cost about $40,000.
The money in her card is far from enough.
Guan Da and Qiao Qiuying probably don't have much savings, probably only around 60,000 or 70,000 yuan for the whole family.
Go borrow money from relatives? That's basically hopeless. Each of these relatives has their own difficulties, and their living standards are even worse than hers.
She stayed up all night, even considering taking out a loan or asking the company for a salary advance. She barely managed to fall asleep near dawn, only for the alarm to ring soon after.
Guan Mi washed up and put on makeup in the room before going out. She happened to see Chen Yanfeng standing steadily in his pajamas, holding the cat in his arms and walking towards the bar.
When he saw her, he first looked down at his legs before saying, "Why don't you come out later and pretend you didn't see it? I'll go get back in the wheelchair."
Guan Mi smiled faintly: "Didn't you stand up last night?"
"So?" He stared at her closely. "Are you leaving?"
She nodded slowly: "I have to go to work."
Suddenly, she walked up to him and gently placed her hands on his arms. "But even if we get the medicine, I'm afraid no hospital in China will give my sister an IV."
"You don't have to worry about these." Chen Yanfeng lowered his eyes to glance at her hand, a quick smile flashing across his eyes. "I have contacted a private hospital in Beijing, and I will meet with the director today."
He stroked her fair cheek with the back of his hand: "Pack your things and go back to Changping tonight."
Guan Mi looked at him in surprise, "But didn't you say last night..." Didn't you want her to be by his side?
Chen Yanfeng said very considerately: "You are not comfortable living here, I don't want to force you. Breakfast is ready, eat and go to work."
Guan Mi watched him silently as he went to drink some water, then went to put breakfast down for Becky, came back to wash his hands, and led her, who was still motionless, to the dining room.
After getting off work at noon, Guan Mi quickly finished his lunch and then went to the company's rooftop to call Qiao Qiuying.
She placed her hands on the cold railing, her eyes unconsciously sweeping across the towering buildings in the distance. From the bustling skyline, her sight just happened to catch sight of those iconic buildings. Shen Yanfeng's home was on the top floor of one of them.
"Hello, Mi-chan?"
She suddenly came back to her senses and retracted her gaze: "Mom, is it convenient for you now?"
Qiao Qiuying's voice was slightly breathless: "I just came out of school and am almost home. What's wrong? Why are you calling at this time?"
"Well," Guan Mi took a deep breath, "I've found a way to get Belimumab. I thought about it all night and decided to get Xiaotang this medicine instead. If you and Dad agree, I'll go raise the money."
"Belimumab?" Qiao Qiuying was surprised and delighted. "How did you find the way?"
Guan Mi paused and said, "A... friend with connections helped me."
Qiao Qiuying had no doubts. "That's great! Of course we agree. As long as it's good for Xiaotang, I'm willing to do it even if it means losing everything. Your father and I have discussed the issue of money. Don't rush to borrow it. Let me call your father first."
Guan Mi didn't expect that they were planning to sell their house.
Qiao Qiuying said, "A friend of your father wanted to buy a house in our neighborhood. Although it's an old neighborhood, the house is comfortable and spacious, warm in winter and cool in summer, and has good lighting. It can probably be sold for more than 200,000 yuan. Then we can rent a two-bedroom apartment to live in."
To the Guan family, nothing is more important than Guan Tang’s life.
Guan Mi supported this decision and thought to himself that he would work harder and buy a better house in the city for his parents and sister in the future.
At this moment, Qiao Qiuying changed the subject: "By the way, I saw Wen Li last Saturday, and then I remembered that he hadn't been to our house for a long time. Did you have a conflict with him?"
Guan Mi's movement to push the door suddenly stopped. The cold wind from the rooftop blew her hair. Her voice was mixed with the wind, a little unclear: "Mom, Wen Li and I have broken up for more than a month."
Guan Mi worked overtime until nine o'clock in the evening before leaving the project department.
She has to go back to Jiangcheng this weekend to arrange a video consultation with Guan Tang.
After packing up her things in the president's office, she returned to her rented apartment with her luggage.
As soon as Yu Tongtong saw her, she asked curiously, "You've been staying in the company for a few days, why do you look better than before?"
She munched on an apple and took a closer look. "Her skin is translucent and rosy. It seems your company's feng shui is nourishing?"
Guan Mi subconsciously touched his cheek and replied vaguely: "Maybe I've been sleeping better recently."
Aunt Li prepares nutritious meals and nourishing soups for every meal, and she follows her lead, so it’s hard for her to look bad.
After taking a shower, Guan Mi lay on the bed and sent a WeChat message to Guan Tang.
Guan Tang: [Selling the house to buy medicine... I don't want this.]
Guan Mi: [My parents and I agree on this matter: your illness is the most important thing.]
Guan Tang: [(sighs)]
Guan Mi: [It's okay (pats head), I'll buy you a big house in the city in the future.]
From the following conversation, it can be seen that Guan Tang is not in a very good mood, giving people a negative feeling that she does not want to live a better life.
Guan Mi thought she felt guilty for selling the house to pay for her medical treatment, so he typed for almost half an hour to comfort her.
I was relieved when I saw that her tone was much lighter in the end.
Guan Mi put her phone on the bedside table to charge. She got up to go to the bathroom, and when she came back she heard her phone vibrating. She walked over and picked it up, and saw that it was Shen Yanfeng calling.
She sat on the bed and answered the phone, "Hello."
"Asleep?"
Shen Yanfeng's voice came from the receiver, deep and hoarse from alcohol, the tail tone dragged out longer than usual, with a hint of lazy nasal sound.
She said, "I'm getting ready for bed."
She suddenly had a premonition, was Shen Yanfeng downstairs? She stood up, walked over, opened the door, and walked to the balcony.
The person on the other end of the phone heard the footsteps and seemed to know what she was going to do. He said softly, "Don't look. It's cold on the balcony. Put on a coat and come down."
Guan Mi stopped and saw the balcony right in front of her. She listened to him and didn't go forward. She turned around and went back to get her coat.
Chen Yanfeng was not sitting in the car. Seeing Guan Mi coming downstairs, he put out the cigarette he had just lit, and the spark suddenly dimmed in the night.
Then he opened the back door, placed his hand on Guan Mi's hair in a gentlemanly manner, and waited for her to get into the back seat.
He got into the driver's seat, drove out of the community and parked on the side of a remote road.
Guan Mi noticed before getting in the car that Chen Yanfeng was driving a black G-Class that he rarely drove out, and the space inside the car was particularly spacious.
After he sat down, he held her on his lap without saying a word, put his hand into her coat, and stroked her waist from time to time.
After these few days at his house, she had gotten used to his touch.
He was quiet when he did this, and only occasionally uttered a few words that made her ears burn.
When he buried his head in kissing her neck, she gently pushed him and asked, "How was your conversation tonight?"
Shen Yanfeng raised his head, resting his chin lightly on the top of her head, and deftly reached into her clothes to undo the row of buckles that were in the way.
"It went very smoothly. The hospital agreed to open a 'specialized medical channel' for Guan Tang and will also set up a dedicated medical team to take charge of follow-up treatment. I will fly to the United States to pick up the medicine myself when the time comes."
"That's great, thank you..." Guan Mi shuddered slightly. She pressed herself against Shen Yanfeng's chest, holding his wrist to signal him to be gentle, and then continued, "My family and I will cover all the expenses."
Shen Yanfeng's hand stopped, he lowered his eyes and stared at her, the emotion in his eyes was hard to discern: "How to bear it?"
He had investigated her family's situation very clearly. Not only did they need medical treatment, but they also had debts to pay off. Money was needed everywhere. No wonder she had lived so frugally in recent years.
He suddenly felt a wave of belated regret.
If I had paid more attention to her in the past three years instead of focusing solely on my career, perhaps I wouldn't have let her endure the hardships alone for so long.
Guan Mi said bluntly: "Sell the house."
Hearing this, Shen Yanfeng's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.
He understood her inherent pride, so she would rather sell the house than use his money.
Although he did not agree with this approach, he chose to respect her idea.
In the end, he said nothing, but just closed his arms and hugged her tighter, using the hug to silently protect her seemingly fragile but extremely strong self-esteem.
Guan Mi looked up at the man's smooth jawline, suddenly held his face with both hands and kissed him.
Her enthusiasm was undoubtedly the best catalyst, and Shen Yanfeng immediately lowered his head and gave an even more enthusiastic response.
The person who is moved by love is always Chen Yanfeng first.
He loved Guan Mi as a person, and was obsessed with every curve and temperature of her body.
Over the past few days, whenever he received extreme pleasure from her, he longed to rub her into his body, to be closely connected at all times.
It seemed that only by becoming one like this would she not leave and would not look at anyone else again.
Although this location is remote, there are still people passing by. After all, any discerning person can see that the price of this car is not low, so passers-by will always take a curious look before leaving.
They couldn't see into the car, but Guan Mi could see them clearly.
If anyone passed by, she would hold Shen Yanfeng's shoulders with both hands and not let him move.
She sat astride him with her legs spread apart, her toes unable to reach the ground. She curled up and straightened helplessly, and because of the sudden interruption, she felt an unbearable emptiness all over her body.
Looking at her dazed expression, Shen Yanfeng could hardly control himself and lowered his head to continue kissing her.
"Look, baby, this is my dream car. At least it's worth this much." The excited voice of a young boy came from outside the car.
"Then we will work hard and try to buy a replacement for it in two years!" the girl responded with a smile.
Their words were filled with longing for the future.
Guan Mi, who was kissing, suddenly stopped moving.
At the beginning of the year, she and Wen Li also took a few more glances at a luxury car.
Wen Li likes cars and has been saving money for a long time to buy one next year, but later he was willing to use all the money to do anything for her.
Today, Qiao Qiuying told her that Wen Li had taken the initiative to apply for a poverty alleviation project and might rarely return to Jiangcheng in the next few months.
Fortunately, he was able to adjust himself and get over the breakup.
What she feared most after the breakup was that it would affect his work.
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Yanfeng pinched Guan Mi's chin and forced her to look up, with a dangerous light flashing in his slightly narrowed cold eyes.
Guan Mi came back to his senses, met the man's eyes, and his heart suddenly trembled.
Without a second thought, she quickly climbed onto his shoulders, actively lifting her hips and swaying herself gently, with a hint of flattery.
She was not sure at first, but now her actions have confirmed Shen Yanfeng's guess.
When she was distracted just now, she was thinking about someone else.
He had a blank expression on his face, and he held her with one hand, then suddenly exerted force, his hand moving wildly.
Guan Mi was not very good at coaxing people, so even though she knew Shen Yanfeng was angry, she just tried to let him release it, and then silently promised him in her heart that this situation would never happen again.
After resting for a while, she turned to the passenger seat to get a tissue, wanting to help him wipe the water stains on his body, but he snatched the paper box away.
His ferocious look made Guan Mi almost think that the cardboard box would fall on him in the next second. However, he just took a few pieces of paper and wiped it himself with a stern face.
"Tell me the truth," he said, lazily leaning back in his chair after wiping it twice. His slender fingers casually pointed at the deepest mark on his trousers, his eyes frighteningly cold. "Who did you shed these for?"
…
Guan Mi picked up the coat that had fallen off and said in a low voice, "It's not for anyone else anyway."
She put her coat aside, picked up the cardboard box again, and tried to clean herself up briefly.
Because her coat only covered her thighs, she was afraid that it would be exposed when she walked.
After all, it was still muddy up to the legs.
"I'll do it." Shen Yanfeng took the paper box again.
Guan Mi naturally shook his head and refused.
Both times she was at his house, she was wearing pants, and each time she had to go back to the next room to clean up, not wanting him to do it.
The coldness on Shen Yanfeng's face had dissipated, and he was obviously pleased by Guan Mi's words.
He stretched out his long arm, brought the person to him, and said in a low voice, "Take it off, I'll help you. How can you clean up the back by yourself?"
When Guan Mi got off the car, his trousers were completely bare, and he felt a lot fresher.
She wrapped her coat tightly around her and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered her meeting tomorrow morning. She turned around and asked the man behind her, "Will you come to the meeting tomorrow?"
Shen Yanfeng nodded, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning?"
"No, that's not necessary." Guan Mi declined. "Forget about the long way. There will be traffic jams both ways. It would be more convenient for me to take the subway."
He responded softly, then asked, "You really don't need me to accompany you back to Jiangcheng?"
Guan Mi shook his head, knowing what he was thinking, and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't meet him, and he is not in Jiangcheng anymore."
Chen Yanfeng frowned and asked sharply, "How do you know?"
He never revealed Wen Li's job transfer.
At this moment, as long as Guan Mi showed some expression he didn't want to see, he wouldn't mind using some other means to make this person stay in that remote place forever.
"I told my mom today that I broke up with him. She told me."
After saying this, Guan Mi saw that the man in front of him had relaxed his brows a little.
The later it got, the colder it got. Seeing her cheeks flushed by the wind, Shen Yanfeng was afraid that she would catch a cold no matter how reluctant he was: "Go back, rest early, and cover yourself with a blanket when you sleep."
Guan Mi nodded and quickly walked into the building.
Her trousers were empty, making it awkward to walk, so she subconsciously reached into her coat pocket.
Why is it empty inside?!
I clearly remember Shen Yanfeng stuffing it into her pocket.
In the car downstairs, Shen Yanfeng was smoking a cigarette while looking at the pure white underwear on his legs.
The fabric still exuded a sweet and fishy smell, and he unconsciously sniffed it while smoking. Although he didn't know what it felt like to really make love, the smell of tobacco mixed with Guan Mi at this moment made him intoxicated.
He even began to think about how to preserve the fragrance on the pants.
On Friday night, Guan Mi returned to Jiangcheng. She first went to Guan Da's school to find him. His colleague gave him a big bag of peanuts and some fresh green leafy vegetables, so he asked her to help take them home.
"So many?" Guan Mi looked at the seven or eight kilograms of peanuts in front of him and asked softly, "Dad, which of your colleagues still grows peanuts at home?"
Guan Da carefully tightened the string around the bag and explained, "It's not grown by her family, but by her parents back home. After squeezing the oil, this is what's left, and they can't sell it."
"Oh," Guan Mi couldn't help but ask, "Which teacher is it? Do I know him?"
"The last time you and Wen..." Guan Da paused, "the teacher Luo you met."
Guan Mi thought about it for a moment, his tone still unchanged: "Those vegetables last time were also given by Teacher Luo, right?"
"Yes, she likes to grow some vegetables in the backyard of the dormitory. Maybe she can't finish the harvest."
Guan Mi's expression calmed down a little, "Dad, you only came home once this month. If I hadn't come back this time, would you have planned to come back in November?"
Guan Da said calmly, "It was your mother who told me not to reply so often. She gets upset when she sees me."
"Mom was just saying it, why do you take it so seriously?" Guan Mi stood up, his tone not sharp, "Dad, you have a family and you're a teacher. You should be more careful with your female colleagues. If you always accept these things, it will inevitably make people think too much."
Guan Da raised his head, frowning slightly. "I paid for all these. How come you think the same as your mother? Do you think I'm a man who might cheat at any time? If your mother didn't like these peanuts and vegetables, I wouldn't buy them."
Guan Mi said, "Dad, that's not what I meant. Mom and I both trust you, but there are so many people at school, and do you really want to be bothered by gossip at your age?"
She carried the bag of vegetables and added, "Mom likes to say the opposite. Actually, she really wants you to come home more often."
Guan Da's expression softened and he nodded: "I understand. I will pay attention next time."
The nights in Jiangcheng are not as cold as in Beijing, so a thin blanket is enough. Guan Mi sat on the bed with his computer, browsing Weibo. When he was about to turn off the computer and go to sleep, Shen Yanfeng's WeChat popped up:
[Are you asleep?]
She replied: [Not yet.]
He replied: [Open the video.]
She looked up at the door, confirmed it was locked, and then answered the call.
The first thing that appeared on the screen was Becky's hairy butt...
Chen Yanfeng picked up the pen that Becky had deliberately swept away, and then picked it up. When he lowered his head to look at the screen, the other side was pitch black, and only the eyes that were quietly looking at him were bright and moving.
My heart felt as if it was gently scratched by a feather.
He carried Becky quickly to the door, asked her to leave and locked the door.
Guan Mi watched him return to his desk. He was dressed casually and warmly tonight, wearing a white turtleneck sweater and his hair was neatly trimmed.
"Is it cold at home?" he spoke first.
"It's okay, one piece of clothing is enough for daytime."
"Will you go home tomorrow after picking up Guan Tang?"
"Yes."
"Let me know when you get home."
Guan Mi nodded slowly.
"Nothing to ask me?" He raised an eyebrow.
Guan Mi thought for a moment and said quickly, "Yes. I noticed that when you entered the meeting room today, your legs seemed a little uncomfortable. Did they hurt?"
Shen Yanfeng said "hmm", "No more?"
"What do you want me to ask?" she asked back.
He stared at her deeply through the screen, "You should ask me if I miss you."
"Oh, did you miss me?"
"I thought about it."
Guan Mi pursed her lips and avoided his gaze: "I will be back soon."
Chen Yan suddenly chuckled: "Do you know what else I'm thinking?"
She shook her head.
"Miss you."
/
The next morning, Guan Mi got up on time, washed and dressed, and was going to pick up Guan Tang to take him home.
Guan Da was watering the flowers on the balcony, Qiao Qiuying was sitting on a low stool in the kitchen peeling peanuts, and the living room was quiet.
"Xiao Mi, bring your sister back for lunch. Don't eat outside. I'll make peanut and pig's trotter soup soon, and it'll be ready for you guys to eat when you get back."
Guan Mi responded towards the kitchen.
She walked to the entrance and when she bent down to take the shoes from the shoe rack, she caught a glimpse of a pair of dark blue slippers on the bottom shelf.
Wen Li wears this pair of shoes every time he comes.
She stared at it for a while, then turned and walked to the TV cabinet, opened the drawer and took out a bag.
She packed the shoes in and took them downstairs with the trash.
There is a bus stop at the entrance of the community, and the bus arrived in less than five minutes.
Guan Mi sat in the last row, the car was shaking and stopping all the way.
When the bus stopped at a station in the city, many people got on and it stayed a little longer.
She kept looking out the window, and suddenly she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure and a girl walking into the mall.
She abruptly looked away, but couldn't help looking again.
After the car started, she maintained that stiff posture until she got out.
The campus of Jiang University is not very big. Guan Mi found Guan Tang’s dormitory building based on his memory. When he was walking in the corridor, he heard a burst of laughter.
The closer we got to Guan Tang's dormitory, the clearer the sound became.
She almost trotted over the last few steps.
She pushed open the dormitory door suddenly, and except Guan Tang, the other three girls turned around and looked at her at the same time.
