There was a 40-year-old man sitting on the desk. He was holding a medical record in his hand. He lowered his head and spoke medical words that Xia Tian didn't understand to the man sitting on the desk. Both of them had relaxed expressions.

When he saw someone coming, he hurriedly moved half of his butt off the desk, nodded slightly to Pharmacist Wang, and sat on a chair to the side.

"Xiao Xia, this is Director Li, classmate, come here too." He handed over the document bag and medicine together, "I told you before..."

Director Li nodded, looked at the medicine bag, put it aside, and then opened the document bag skillfully.

"You guys sit down." Director Li was wearing a snow-white coat and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. His eyes were very bright. When he was concentrating on reading the laboratory report, he waved his hand to them without raising his head and motioned for them to sit down.

Down.

There were two chairs in front of the desk. Pharmacist Wang asked Xia Tian and Shi Xia to sit down while he wandered around the office, chatting with another person from time to time.

In less than a minute, Director Li put down the test sheet, placed the half-remaining medicines in front of them, and said: "The ingredients of this capsule are polyene phosphatidylcholine, diammonium glycyrrhizinate, and..."

Pharmacist Wang suddenly interrupted and said, "Please speak more plainly."

Xia Tian picked up the plastic bag containing the pills and asked him anxiously: "Doctor, what disease is this medicine for?"

Director Li said: "It is used to treat liver diseases, hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc."

Fortunately, it was not cancer. Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had regained a new lease of life.

"Is it serious?" Xia Xia asked, thinking of Xia Xi's lifeless face.

"This..." Director Li was thinking about how to answer.

"You can't tell whether it's serious or not by just taking a few pills. You can only make a conclusion by bringing the patient in for a comprehensive examination," said Pharmacist Wang.

"He...his eyes are a little yellow, and his complexion is very bad. He is very gray, no, he is also a little yellow." Xia Tian tried his best to describe Xia Xi's face.

"Tiantian, we can't let the doctor judge this," Shi Xia said to her.

Xia Xi hid her illness from her, so was she really willing to come to the hospital for a checkup?

"Will you die if you get liver disease?" Xia Tian asked after a moment of silence.

"It depends on how serious the patient's condition is. If liver cancer is in the advanced stage, there is generally no need for treatment. If there is severe cirrhosis, ascites, failure, etc., it is best to have a liver transplant. Then the patient's chance of survival is still quite high." Director Li

Patiently said to Xia Tian, ​​"You can make an appointment from Monday to Wednesday next week."

When Shi Xia thanked Uncle Wang and Director Li, Xia Tian didn't say a word and followed him quietly with his arms around the document bag.

"Go back to school?" Shi Xia drove away from the hospital.

"No, go to Jinshuiting Community, just..."

"I know that community. It's not far from the school. It's next to the vocational high school, right?"

"right."

"Does your second brother live in Jinshui Pavilion?"

"Um."

"After discussing with your second brother, give me a call and I will help you make an appointment with Director Li."

Various memory fragments rushed through Xia Tian's mind.

The wine bottle at Xia Xi's door, her nervous expression when she discovered the medicine jar, when she asked him to marry him, he didn't come out of the bathroom for a long time, and that stern answer...

He must have been crying at that time.

What should I say when I see Xia Xi later?

Xia Tian held her forehead in frustration.

Shi Xia drove very steadily, and before he knew it, the car had stopped at the entrance of the community.

It was already dark, and the neon lights on the signboards of shops and restaurants around the community complemented each other, making it particularly dazzling.

Shi Xia asked her: "Shall we have a meal before we go up?"

Xia Tian declined: "No, I haven't figured out how to tell him yet?"

Shi Xia said: "Treat it as early as possible. The disease cannot withstand delay."

Xia Tian nodded tiredly and said: "I know."

Shi Xia unbuckled her seat belt and comforted her: "Whether it's manpower or financial resources, I will help you as much as possible, so you don't have to worry about anything, and I tell your second brother not to worry either."

There is no free lunch in the world.

If Xia Xi can recover with the help of Senior Shi, it will be a life-saving grace. The only person who can repay the kindness is herself.

Xia Tian knew in her heart that she would never hesitate to extend her life to her brother, not to mention committing herself to him.

This could be life!

Which path you should take at any time is determined.

The figure of Chengze suddenly flashed in his mind, that tall and thin mixed-race man with a pair of charming blue eyes, whose smile was so healing...

Xia Tian sat quietly on the sofa and touched the gold bracelet on her wrist. The qz?xt flashed in front of her eyes like an LED scrolling screen over and over again.

Xia Xi came back earlier than expected. Before 7 o'clock, he opened the door with a cake box. When he came out, it was like a takeaway boy had arrived to deliver food to her.

Xia Tian stepped forward to take the cake. After thinking about it, she couldn't think of whether today was Xia Xi's birthday.

"I'm sorry, brother, I forgot your birthday."

"Tch, it seems you have really forgotten that no one has a birthday today." Xia Xi took off her work coat and hung it on the clothes hanger at the door.

"Then why did you buy the cake?"

"Can't we eat cake if it's no one's birthday?" Xia Xi went to the bathroom to wash her hands angrily. When she came out, she saw Xia Tian standing by the dining table obediently, like a nanny waiting for her master to come home for dinner.

"You've been waiting for me until now?" Xia Xi picked up the bowl and chopsticks and put them in his mouth.

"Well, I'm not very hungry either." Xia Tian took a small bite of rice.

"Aren't you hungry at this hour? The restaurant's working meals are particularly delicious, right? How many bowls of rice have you had in the afternoon?" Xia Xi swallowed a bowl of rice and threw the bowl and chopsticks on the table with a thud.

Xia Tian also put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"elder brother--"

"Don't call me brother."

Xia Xi stood up in anger. He wanted to say something but held back. He walked around the living room and came back angrily and sat down again.

"Tell me, what did the little girl in your dormitory buy to make you want to do that?"

"no."

"Mobile phone? Name bag?"

"No."

"Then why are you working? What do you want to buy?"

"Brother, I went to the hospital this afternoon." Xia Tian slowly raised his head.

"Doctor—" Xia Xi paused, her anger suppressed by her heartache.

She makes money to treat her eyes!

Xia Xi picked up the bowls, chopsticks and two plates of untouched stir-fries, and brought the cake over.

"What did the doctor say?" Xia Xi cut a piece of cake for Xia Tian.

"Let you go..." Xia Tian's lips trembled, unable to make a normal sound. When he wanted to continue, tears had already poured out.

"Don't cry. Brother is here. Do you need surgery? How much will it cost? I have it." Xia Xi held Xia Xiang's hand and tried her best to comfort her, "We are not blind. We don't need to change our eyes, right?"

"Ah?" Xia Tian pulled out a piece of tissue paper to wipe away her tears, and suddenly understood what Xia Xi was talking about, "How did you know?"

"I'm not a fool. I've been living with you for almost two months. It's strange that I didn't notice it." Xia Xi held Xia Tian's hand tightly again, "Tiantian, I'll let the doctor tell me how to treat it. You don't have to worry about the money.

"

Xia Tian held her brother's hand, his wrist was almost as thin as her own.

"In this world, the thing I'm most afraid of losing is you." Xia Tian stroked the back of his brother's hand, "I can't lose you either."

"Why is it so scary? Even if it's an operation, it must be a minor operation." Xia Xi pretended to be relaxed and comforted her, but she was already nervous. The girl's expression looked like she had been sentenced to death by a doctor, "The doctor said there would be

Is life in danger?”

"Then you won't know until you go there." Xia Tian used words to point to Xia Xi.

After a long time, Xia Xi freed his hands from hers and looked at his sister with suspicion and probing eyes.

She won't know.

Impossible to know.

In Xia Tian's eyes, there was both sadness that could see through everything and courage that would never back down.

"So that's it." Xia Xi sighed softly.

He knew that her eyes could not see color, and she also knew that he had a serious liver disease.

"How can you cure your eyes? Do you need eyes? My brother will give them to you." Xia Xi's expression became more and more gloomy.
