Love Just Begins - C75

“Of course.” Chen Xiye said without hesitation.

“Do good friends share good fortune and bad fortune?” An Shengmei went deeper with each step.

“Of course.”

“Well, as a good friend, you have to tell me why you need money.” With the topic changed, An Shengmei threw the question back to Chen Xiye without holding back.

“…” Chen Xiye was startled, and quickly realised that she was planned by An Shengmei. An Shengmei laid out a circle in the language, and then she who was completely defenseless entered it.

“Actually, it’s actually because of my little brother.” “Chen Xiye spoke in a low and deep voice after a moment of hesitation. “I have a little brother called Chen Yi. He’s truly in his prime. It’s a pity that the heavens don’t open their eyes …”

“What happened to him?” An Shengmei caught on to a bad omen, and impatiently asked.

Chen Xiye’s face was filled with worry. She slowly said, “He has a malignant, proliferating lesion with hematopoietic stem cells.”

“What?” An Shengmei looked at Chen Xiye with her confused eyes.

“The leukemia we always talk about. Have you heard of it?” Seeing An Shengmei’s puzzled expression, Chen Xiye changed her way of speaking.

“Oh!”

“At first, he was just pale and his appetite was down. I thought he was malnourished and I even bought him a lot of supplements. Unexpectedly, the more he ate, the worse it became. Not long after, he began to bleed from a bruise, even from his gums when he brushed his teeth. At this moment, I panicked. I rushed to the hospital to check on him, but … ”

Chen Xiye’s eyes were covered by a layer of mist. She wiped it off with her hand and continued: “But this time, I’ve been in the hospital for a few months.”

“Is it serious?” An Shengmei’s heart rose to her throat, her tone full of worry.

“The diagnosis is made by a doctor. He has leukemia, so he must undergo a bone marrow transplant, otherwise there will be no chance of survival, because his hematopoietic stem cells have lost their hematopoietic function. His blood can no longer be reborn, and his life can no longer be maintained.”

“Did he have an operation?”

“Of course, I can’t just stand by and let him do as he pleases. As long as there’s a sliver of a chance, I’ll try my best to get it for him. And then, I saved up money everywhere to transplant his bone marrow… ” After taking a breath of rest, Chen Xiye’s tone changed. But, you know, hospitals are not affordable. From the moment I was admitted to the hospital, I had spent 400,000 yuan on blood transfusions, bone marrow collection, peripheral blood stem cells, matching type, and the like. Not only did my savings disappear, I was also heavily indebted. According to the doctor’s preliminary estimate, it would cost at least six hundred thousand yuan to complete the operation. This is easier said than done for a salaried assistant. “In addition, my family’s financial situation was not very good …”

“It’s really hard for you!” In an instant, An Shengmei understood the reason behind her lack of money, and also understood the 10 years contract she signed a few months ago. All of this was for the sake of saving his brother. With such a heavy burden on her delicate shoulders, she was able to cope with herself in her work, and she was ashamed to think that she had once worked for such trifling matters without a care in the world.

“But what’s worse is that after the surgery, the money is twice as much as the doctor estimated. My brother did come back, but I was crushed by debt. “What’s even more annoying is …” Chen Xiye sighed, as though she wanted to say something, but hesitated. In the end, she swallowed her saliva and no longer spoke.

After dinner, An Shengmei sent Chen Xiye downstairs. Looking at Chen Xiye’s figure disappearing into the night, she made a decision in her heart: This friend will do his best to help her, and she will definitely help her with this favor. She didn’t know how much she could help her, but she would definitely do her best.

The next day, after finishing all the chores, she looked up and saw that it was already the time of the ten thousand lights. If she did not send An Shengmei home today, Chen Xiye would invite him to her house as a guest. But today, when they went upstairs, other than Chen Xiye, there was another unexpected guest.

“Will it be too hard?” An Shengmei handed over a cup of coffee. As before, the tea in her hand, along with the light fragrance of the coffee, made the whole room feel warm.

Chen Xiye tilted her head, her hair falling down, the shape of her face was more like a oval face, but her lower jaw was pointed, her face was covered with a red blush, and with the addition of her flat bangs, she looked somewhat cute with a bun like face, and also very young, giving people a feeling that she was being bullied.

Maybe Chen Xiye realized this as well, so she tousled her purple hair and wore a pair of high heels. Her face was always as cold as a thousand miles away, and she used a superior method to reject other people’s bad intentions.

“Of course it will be hard, but …” Chen Xiye looked at the youth who had walked over. At the door, she had already introduced him to Shengmei. She clenched her teeth and shook her head: “I have no way to get rid of this burden.

“You tried?” An Shengmei was a little surprised, “You …” Wasn’t Chen Xiye supposed to treat his brother with great care and care? Why do you say that? Did I misunderstand her selfless love for his brother?

Chen Xiye did not avoid Chen Ye and nodded, “I know that he is waiting for me at the entrance of the company, I have tried to drive around, and have taken so many detours.”

Chen Ye casually sat down, and even sat beside An Shengmei. He was so familiar with her that he leaned his head against her arm, and closed his eyes to take a nap.

“And then?”

“He’s coming.” Chen Xiye spread out her hands, “I don’t even know when he followed me. When I arrived and opened the door with you, he came out from behind me.

An Shengmei looked at Chen Ye with suspicion, but she also leaned on the sofa, allowing him to lean on her shoulder to sleep more comfortably. Towards little kids, and those with good looks and warm bodies, An Shengmei always liked to get close to them.

Chen Ye slowly opened his eyes. He looked at An Shengmei for a while, then found a comfortable position and closed his eyes.

“Do I look like a pet to you?”

An Shengmei was startled, she shook his head, thinking that he could not see it, she opened her mouth and said: “I did not think so.”

“So that’s what you think now?” Chen Ye lazily propped himself up and looked at her, like a cat.

His elbow was resting on her knee, so An Shengmei reached out and pulled him back a little, saving him from rolling on the ground. Chen Xiye, who was watching by the side, used a pillow to directly smash him onto the ground.

“What are you doing?” Chen Ye slowly stood up from the ground, bared his teeth and returned to the sofa. But this time, he did not approach An Shengmei, but hid himself in a corner, and the feeling of his existence had lessened.

However, An Shengmei looked at Chen Xiye in puzzlement, and then, she suddenly felt that something was not right, and laughed: “Don’t talk about personality, even the difference in looks is like heaven and earth.”
