[First time] Burn it, brother-in-law!

Chunhe Hospital, Ward 311.

Ah Ci was a little emotional, last month Zhui Ming lay down on this hospital bed to make a shopping list for him, but now the person sitting on the bed was replaced by Ah Chu's friend.Unlike Zhui Ming, this person really needs a bone marrow transplant to continue his life.

"Why are you alone?" Ah Chu greeted him.

"He went to pick up Xia Tian." The man smiled purely, not at all like a cancer patient suffering from the fear of death and chemotherapy.

"So early?" Ah Chu also thought of the two sons who were given away as phone bills. He glanced at his watch and smacked his lips. Let's take it together!"

"I'm so touched! In order to see me, even my own son forgot to pick up the phone." The man smiled and shook his head, picked up his cell phone and dialed.

Ah Ci took the opportunity to tug on Ah Chu, and asked in a low voice: "Is he Xia Tian's father?"

"Yes. Didn't I tell you?" Ah Chu raised one eyebrow.

"no!"

"Oh, it doesn't matter if you know it now!" Seeing that Xia Tian's father had ended the call, Ah Chu cleared his throat and formally introduced, "Yu Youhe, my best friend when I was in England."

It's Yu again!Ah Ci couldn't help thinking of the phrase "surnamed Yu" that Zhong Lang often yelled at the phone, I hope this one is not as twitchy as Yu Qiyang... Ah Chu lightly pressed his shoulder, this little action made him turn back Come on, he politely smiled and nodded at Yu Youhe, then turned his head and mercilessly exposed the big brother's scene: "Isn't your best friend Xia Yuechun?"

"Of course not! He was on the blacklist earlier." Ah Chu was obviously still worried about Xia's cheating on Ah Ci.He said to Yu Youhe again, "You don't need my introduction, you know who he is, right?"

"Yeah, you two are so similar." Yu Youhe's smile deepened a bit.

Ah Chu's cell phone rang, he hesitated for a moment, and pressed the answer button: "Hello...yes, Ah Ci and I came to see Leo...Okay, I know, you contact me first, wait for me later." He hung up After dropping the phone, he explained to his younger brother and friends, "Yuechun found my car in the parking lot, and the phone came after him. He insisted on asking me to sit with him."

"Isn't he on the blacklist? How can he still make calls?" Ah Ci questioned.

Ah Chu shrugged: "He called from the landline in the office."

"Is it still necessary to go to his place to sign?"

"By the way, it won't waste time anyway... Do you want to go together?"

"No need, I have nothing to say to him." Ah Ci waved his hand, "I'll just wait here for Aihua, you go."

"Okay, I'll be back soon." Ah Chu said and walked out.

Only Ah Ci and Yu Youhe, whom they had just met, were left in the ward.However, due to the relationship between Ah Chu and Xia Tian, ​​there are surprisingly many topics that can be discussed, and the two of them are not too reserved.

Ah Ci secretly glanced at the bed card, only to realize that this "yu" is not the other "yu".What surprised him even more was that Yu Youhe was already 36 years old.It is said that there is a "three-year gap between generations", how did Ah Chu and him become confidantes with two "ditches" between them?

"Mr. Yu, how did you and my elder brother meet?"

"Just call me Leo." Yu Youhe said with a gentle smile, "I'm Monica's senior, and she invited me to her birthday party. At the party, I saw an Asian boy, so I leaned over and asked Is he Chinese? Can he speak Chinese? He answered me very politely in Chinese. He was very busy and was not available for a while, and then left in a hurry. I found out later that it was the younger brother brought by Monica’s stepmother, named Yang Muchu .Because the prepared cake was knocked over, he had to rush to redo it.”

It's really a Cinderella story!Ah Ci twitched the corner of his mouth, and asked the prince, "What happened next?"

"Later he came to me and asked me where I was from and whether I had any plans to return to China. It turned out that we were the same, we both lived in our stepfather's house, and always wanted to return to China... I returned to China a year earlier than him, but it didn't take long. Leukemia was detected. After the operation, you have been very careful, but it still relapsed. At that time, you hurriedly entrusted Xia to the care of Ah Chu, which also caused you trouble."

"Where?" Ah Ci thought for a while, and then asked, "Can you still contact the bone marrow provider from your last operation?"

"It's okay to contact, that's my sister...but I didn't tell her this time." Yu Youhe looked like a naughty child.

"Why?" Ah Ci couldn't understand his logic, since life was right in front of him, there was no reason to treat him so negatively.

"There is no need to let her know, she is not in good health." Yu Youhe shook his head, a little helpless, "In order to prevent recurrence, I have tried not to make myself too tired in the past few years, and I have rarely participated in the company's decision-making. My younger sister, Sandy, is managing it for me. The year before last, she had hyperthyroidism, and she couldn’t stop taking the medicine even during pregnancy and breastfeeding. But for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the medicine must be stopped for at least a month.”

"Are there any other suitable donors for the bone marrow bank?"

"I contacted one when I first relapsed, but was rejected. This has nothing to do with courage, morality, or sense of responsibility. After all, it is a stranger who is on the operating table, and it is natural to shrink back." He spoke in a tone that seemed to be talking about The weather outside did not show any resentment towards the donor who gave him hope but also brought him disappointment.

Any persuasion and consolation are superfluous when meeting such a calm and detached person.It just so happened that Ah Ci didn't like talking empty words, so he said, "You can rest assured of your illness, if you need our help, just tell us. You can also live in our house in summer and play with Ai Zhong Aihua, she may be more cheerful."

"Thank you, but she doesn't follow anyone now." Yu Youhe shook his head with a wry smile, "She keeps calling for me every day after school, and refuses to leave when she arrives at the hospital. In fact, we think of the child simply, what is she doing?" I can feel it and understand that her mother will not be able to buy a plane ticket back to China when she arrives in the 'Heavenly Kingdom', so she has no sense of security."

Ah Ci recalled the descriptions of his nephews. It was understandable that Xia Tian broke down and cried at the school gate, holding his legs and refusing to leave: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your children. If you can't find a new Donors, talk to your sister. I believe it's worth taking some health risks for her to save your life."

"I understand, but hyperthyroidism is not a minor problem. If you stop taking the medicine without authorization, it will recur." Yu Youhe seemed to have made up his mind.

"But your illness is not a minor ailment. It is more serious than hers if it drags on for a long time." Ah Ci said sharply.

"I'm fine. From relapse to now, there has been no further deterioration." Yu Youhe sighed, and said, "Don't talk about this, you don't go to the dean's room with Ah Chu, insist on staying here to chat with me , I’m afraid you don’t just want to understand my illness, do you?”

"I didn't go with him because I didn't match up with Xia Yuechun." Ah Ci's expression was a little unnatural, although he didn't want to admit it, but he still asked the question, "How do my eldest brother's stepfather and sisters treat him? "

"He seldom talks about family affairs, but I feel that his relationship with Monica is not as natural and intimate as that of normal siblings."

"What about friends? Besides you and Xia Yuechun, which of his friends abroad have returned to China?"

"Shouldn't there be any? At that time, he always had a smile on his face. He seemed to have a good temper, but he had a strong sense of alienation. He seemed to be ready to leave at any time and cut off contact with everyone. I really can't think of anyone else returning to China except the two of us." Why don't you ask him directly?"

"He refused to say, Xia Yuechun even told me about Cong Hui." Ah Ci couldn't hide his disappointment.After six years of getting along, Ah Chu still refuses to mention that period of the past with him.He had reason to suspect that the elder brother's promise to take him to England in two months was just talk.

But Yu Youhe laughed: "It seems that the relationship between you and Yuechun is not so bad."

Ah Ci held his forehead, and before he could speak, Ah Chu's voice came from the door: "What are you talking about? So speculative?"

"Child-rearing classics." Ah Ci rushed to answer before Yu Yuhe answered.I know that there is nothing valuable to ask today.

Soon after, the three children were led into the ward by a man.When Xia Xia saw Ah Chu and Ah Ci, he just greeted them politely, but did not show enthusiasm.She ran straight to the hospital bed, hugged Yu Youhe and did not let go.Obviously, she was afraid that her father would hand her over to the two uncles of the Yang family to take care of her.

"The meat floss cake I bought on the way is still warm, wash your hands and eat together." The man who was in charge of picking up the children greeted them, then picked up Xia Tian, ​​who was not cooperative, and went to wash his hands.When Ah Chu and Ah Ci came back with their two children after washing their hands, they saw the man knead a cake and brought it to Yu Youhe's lips, "Hey, don't touch your hands, and you didn't wash your hands."

Seeing the Yang family brothers, Yu Youhe felt a little embarrassed to be fed like this in front of people, but he still opened his mouth and took a bite.

"Tsk tsk, this cake looks sweet!" Ah Chu joked.

After hearing this, the man rubbed the minced meat floss on the corner of Yu Youhe's lips with his other hand without hesitation, and stuffed the remaining half of the cake into his mouth.He carried the bag and let the children take it, then passed it in front of the two adults, and responded to Ah Chu: "Don't be envious, you can do it too."

Ah Chu raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to pinch a piece, turned to look at Ah Ci, only to find that his younger brother had turned his back to teach Ai Zhong Aihua with red ears: "Eat honestly, don't mess everything up... "

……

After leaving the inpatient building, Ah Ci immediately asked: "Tell me, what did you conspire with Xia Yuechun again?"

"Why do you ask that? It seems like we have some ulterior secret." Ah Chu looked aggrieved.

"That's how it feels to people." Ah Ci said with a straight face, "He and Leo are also old acquaintances, so he can come to see us in the ward. It must be inconvenient to call you over alone in front of me or Leo. of."

"You are too sensitive." Ah Chu sighed, and finally confessed honestly, "Actually, the Red Cross contacted a volunteer who had a successful preliminary match with Leo's hematopoietic stem cells. It’s empty joy again, so I want to hide it from Leo first. Make sure that there is a donation and that you won’t go back on your word, and then tell him.”

"After missing two chances, he was lucky enough to meet the third one." After Ah Ci finished speaking, he stood by the car and glanced at his brother, "You guys are really calm. I will inform his sister directly."

"It's useless. If he doesn't agree, his sister will be anxious when she finds out. Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and I hope the high-end match can also succeed." Ah Chu carried his two sons into the car, and sat in the back row , smiled and asked his younger brother, "Are you relieved now?"

Ah Ci took the taxi and asked without answering, "Why didn't you bring me to see Leo earlier?"

"Because you don't have a good impression of him, you didn't go to his treats. I'm afraid there will be conflicts when you meet, and he is resting."

"Then why did you let me see him again?" Ah Ci did not deny that he had a bad impression of Xia Tian's father before.At first, I thought he was a scumbag who abandoned his daughter to fall in love, but he didn't expect that he went to see that person because of the relapse of leukemia.

Ah Chu complained: "With your posture just now, you almost grabbed the carving knife and stabbed me, how dare I not bring you here?"

"It can be seen that we can no longer communicate through calm chats."

Ah Chu couldn't help frowning, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Don't talk about it in front of the child, we'll talk about it alone later." Ah Ci's tone was very light, but it was like the calm before the storm.

"Pull over!" Ah Chu said, pushing the two sons, "Uncle wants to talk to me alone, you can get out of the car and run home."

"You're enough! I'm not joking with you!" The veins next to Ah Ci's temples twitched, feeling that he had reached the limit.

Aizhong and Aihua were taken aback by his yelling, not sure if their uncle would let them get out of the car and run.Ah Chu was much calmer than them, just rubbed his face resentfully, and sighed softly: "I really don't know how to be funny."

……

After arriving home, Ah Ci gave the children to Uncle Niu, and then dragged Ah Chu back to the bedroom to talk alone.

Sitting on the bed, Ah Chu leisurely unbuttoned his shirt, shook his head and sighed, "Uncle Niu must have thought you were in a hurry again."

"Don't pretend to be confused with me! It's impossible to get away with it today." Ah Ci said seriously with his arms akimbo.

"Why am I pretending to be confused? You didn't make it clear what you wanted to ask, so how can I explain it?" Ah Chu said innocently.

"I saw Yu Youhe today, and I can understand your original intention of deceiving Gu Xichao to promote the bone marrow bank, but there are still a few issues that cannot be explained." A Ci paced back and forth in front of him, full of interrogation posture, "First, you You once said that the sick person was a foreign friend, and emphasized that I didn’t know him. But I had already met Xia Tian at that time, why didn’t you just say that the sick person was Xia Tian’s father?”

"It's still because you have a bad impression of him. I had a headache at the time, and I don't want to hear you sarcasm about him anymore."

"Second question, the day he came to our house last summer should be the day he was diagnosed. At that time, you had a fever, and you said that several things rushed together, and the pressure was too great. But his illness has not deteriorated so far. Donor Regret is also something that happened when you first relapsed. Why did you suddenly hide in your dad's room and drink alcohol at the beginning of the year? Don't say anything about sudden emotions, your reaction has surpassed the day he was diagnosed."

"...I persuaded him to tell Sandy, but he refused. At that time, no new donors were successfully matched. I was a little desperate."

"Coincidentally, my last question is also related to his sister Sandy." A Ci continued to ask aggressively, "He said that the company's affairs have been managed by his sister, and the protagonist in the story you told because the company left I can't leave him, and my family can't do without him, so I postponed the date of hospitalization. From this point of view, it's not Leo's story, is it?"
