Chapter 218: Farewell
"Miss, please!"
Xu Qing stepped out of the elevator and looked up, and a science laboratory that only appeared in science fiction movies appeared in front of him. Although he watched it once a month, Xu Qing was still moved by the scene that had been ahead of the ground for at least ten years.
It's an underground palace on a completely different level, stretching about the size of a football field. The comings and goings were all scientific researchers in white coats. Everywhere is brightly lit, no different from daytime.
The reason why the Xiao family became the first family ahead of other families was because of this scientific laboratory hidden underground. The Xiao family is a pharmaceutical empire, and nearly 75% of the country's medicines are produced by the Xiao family.
The Xiao family doesn't know how many labs like this there are, and each one is different from what is researched. And this is the research that is responsible for cloning organs and human organs.
Mother Xu has been sent here since the car accident. Both the patient and the person who voluntarily became the test subject. Walking forward along the steps, there was a smell of disinfectant around him, and Xu Qing couldn't help but put on the isolation gown handed over by the insiders and put on a mask.
"Miss, please follow me!"
A golden card, the card seems to be made of some new material, and there is a kind of charming gorgeousness under the light. The card is printed with the family emblem of the Xiao family, the dragon totem.
The dragon totem has clear lines, and the sharp claws actually refract the light. The withered fingers clenched the corners of the card, as if they had exhausted all their strength.
Xu Qing's gaze fell on Lin Bo's hand, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, calculating the possibility of snatching this card from Lin Bo's hand. After a few moments, she lowered her head gloomily, but the corner of her eye swept over the place where Limber had taken out his things.
The golden card is the level of the entire dungeon, and the bodyguards guarding it don't recognize anyone, only this card. Although she couldn't get around this place with this card, at least she had no problem taking her mother away safely and getting out of the way.
For this card, Xu Qing coveted it for a long time, but he couldn't find a chance. One is that her mother is not completely well, and she is afraid of self-defeating, and on the other hand, because Limber has almost a close collection of this card, she simply cannot steal the card without startling the snake.
Lin Bo didn't seem to notice Xu Qing's strangeness at all, the card gently swept through the level, and with a "ding" sound, the door opened. Under the leadership of Lin Bo, Xu Qing passed through one level after another and walked towards the depths of the new world.
The entire dungeon is like an underground kingdom, so to speak, isolated from the rest of the world. Inside, scientists stay in the laboratory all year round to study the mysteries of the human body.
"Here we are, miss. It's only ten minutes, so seize the time!"
Xu Qing nodded, she had been here so many times, she had already understood the rules here. At first, she would also retort in the hope of buying more time.
After several ineffective rebuttals and even two cancelling visits, she learned to be well-behaved and submissive. The Xiao family has never been a place to talk about human feelings. Old Man Xiao is the king of this empire, and everyone must obey the rules of the Xiao family, even himself.
"Limber, thank you!"
There were only ten minutes, and she had to seize the moment. The door opened slightly, and Xu Qing's gaze fell on the bed. The white walls are spotless, the white bed sheets are spotless, and Xu's mother has been living in such a monotonous environment for several years.
The whole room is very monotonous, only a bed, a stool, and a table. There were some books and some photos on the table, as well as an iPad. The only green color is a pot of fake flowers on the desk. Xu Qing begged Old Man Xiao many times, and he was allowed to bring it in after layers of inspection.
Fortunately, Xu's mother has been asleep and didn't wake up until half a year ago, otherwise she would have been driven crazy by such an environment.
Xu Qing slowly closed the door in an isolation suit and walked to the bed. Mother Xu was lying on the hospital bed at the moment, her face was pale after not seeing sunlight all year round, exactly the same color as the sheets. Her brow was constantly furrowed, perhaps because of the pain in her body, even when she fell asleep.
A hand full of pinholes poked out of the bed from the bed, and the green tendons were bulging, which looked very scary. The whole person was thin and small lying in the quilt, and from a distance, if he didn't know that there was someone on the bed, he couldn't even see that there was a person sleeping inside.
Xu Qing's eyes were quietly stained with a touch of wetness at some point, this is her only relative. Every time she saw her mother like this, she wondered if she was wrong in the first place, and whether she shouldn't have wanted to keep her so selfishly.
But she had nothing but her mother.
Finding a chair to sit down, Xu Qing stretched out his hand to hold Xu's mother's thin hand, which was almost boneless. The same whiteness, one plump and the other rugged, formed a strong contrast, and the prickly Xu Qing's eyes were red.
"Mom!"
Xu Qing's forehead was against the back of Xu's mother's hand, and he shouted softly. As if sensing the sound, Xu Mu's fingers moved slightly, and she opened her eyes gently.
It was a pair of glass-colored eyes, dull, lifeless, calm like a dead lake. When that gaze fell on Xu Qing beside the bed, a dazzling light burst out in an instant. In an instant, the dead lake boiled like a gushing active volcano hidden at the bottom of the deep lake.
This is her only daughter, and the only reason she has persevered until now.
The hoarse voice couldn't hide the joy in his heart, "You're here!"
She spends every day in this room and can't go anywhere. She couldn't feel the passage of time at all, and only every time Xu Qing came, she knew that another month had passed.
Xu Qing raised his head when he heard this, looked at Xu Mu with a happy face, and gently threw himself into her arms, "Mom, I miss you!"
Mother Xu looked at her daughter in her arms with a smile on her face, and kept touching her back with her hand, "Silly child!"
In the white and dustless room, slender and plump beauties and skinny women, blue gauze skirts and white sheets complement each other, like blue sky and white clouds, clear sky.
"Mom, there's still half a year. Hold on for another half a year, and I'll be able to pick you out. ”
Xu Qing's eyes were dotted with anticipation, and Xu's mother looked at Xu Qing with a bright smile on her face, but her heart was dripping blood. She couldn't tell Xu Qing that her internal organs had been rejected, and it was likely that she would not be able to fulfill the half-year contract.
She just hugged Xu Qing tightly and was silent. Her daughter, her poor daughter. Why would God be so cruel to you?
"Mom, I'm a star now, in Brother Junye's company. Didn't you like to watch TV series produced by 'Xinghui Entertainment' before? This time, Jun Ye's brother's company cooperated with them to make a TV series with a big heroine, and I will play the female number one. ”
Mother Xu scratched Xu Qing's nose, looked at her as proud as a child, and smiled, "Whose director is so discerning that he actually invited you to play the heroine, and my mother is proud of you." You have to act well, Mom is still waiting to see your TV series!"
"Of course, you don't look at whose daughter I am!"
Xu Qing grinned arrogantly when she heard this, smiling proudly and unscrupulously, maybe only at this moment would she really open her heart.
Mother and daughter looked at each other and laughed. accidentally touched the wound, and Xu's mother gasped in pain.
"Mom, be careful. Come, slow down, don't get involved in the wound," Xu Qing picked up the pillow and put it vertically at the head of the bed, helped Xu's mother to lie down a little, and looked at Xu's mother's frowning brows, "Your body is not well yet, you must be careful." ”
Mother Xu couldn't get used to her straight face, and quipped: "I know, verbose little old woman, Jun Ye will be annoyed in the future! Haha..... hiss-"
Xu Qing was originally stuck in his waist, pretending to be angry, but when he saw Xu's mother's appearance, he couldn't help complaining: "Don't move, be careful of the wound." ”
"Got it, you help me get the iPad on the table. ”
Xu Qing handed the iPad on the bedside table to Xu's mother, and Xu's mother skillfully clicked on the music software and played it, with a look of pride and pride on her face.
This is her spiritual food, countless days of being tortured by illness to death, she relied on this to persevere.
"That's nice. I listen to this song dozens of times a day without getting bored. Jun Ye really has a heart for you, and he actually wrote such a song for you. ”
Xu Qing cleaned up his hands and looked up at Xu's mother, "I also brought you the MV this time, and I filmed some promotional videos." By the way, I also copied some movies and TV series for you. ”
"Really, I haven't watched a TV series for a long time, and I really miss it. ”
Mother Xu's eyes lit up. I often wake up in the middle of the night with pain and can't sleep, and I have nothing to do and feel uncomfortable tight. She can't be idle at all, she used to be a good hand in the family, although she didn't go out to work, but she kept the house in order.
Since I woke up, I stayed in this white room, and I couldn't see anyone else except for the scientific researchers and Xu Qing.
"I know you're bored here, so I've brought you some more this time. There are books, there are TV series, and there are songs. I'm going to join the group next, and I may not be able to see you for two months. You have to pay attention to your body, follow the doctor's instructions, and don't mess around, understand?"
Xu Mu's originally bright eyes dimmed because of Xu Qing's words, staring at Xu Qing's back, her eyes sad and reluctant.
For a while, there was only the sound of Xu Qing placing books in the room. A drop of liquid suddenly fell from the white sheet, and after soaking, a flower bloomed, then a second, and then a third.
There were more and more flowers, and a corner of the white sheet was already soaked. Xu's mother, who realized that Xu Qing was about to turn around, couldn't help but wipe away her tears with her thin palm, but found that the tears were getting more and more and more, and she couldn't stop them at all.
"Why are you crying?" Xu Qing sat on the edge of the bed and wiped her tears with the existing tissues in the room, "I know you can't bear me, and it's not like I won't come back." I'll come to see you in two months, and I'll pick you up after half a year. ”
Mother Xu's mouth trembled, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't tell her anything. Xu Qing's eyes were also slightly red, but he couldn't hold back his tears, hugging Xu's mother and trembling her body and constantly comforting her.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! I'm here, I'm here!"
The gentle voice was tirelessly comforting, just like when she was a child, Mother Xu coaxed her to sleep every time. Now that she is grown up and her mother is old, it is up to her to comfort her.
Looking at Xu's mother being tortured by illness, Xu Qing was not uncomfortable. It's just that she knows that she can't show it.
Mother Xu hugged her and cried in a low voice. She was afraid, afraid that there would be no possibility of living anymore due to organ rejection. Staying in this ghost place, enduring the torture of illness day and night, she didn't want to live for a long time.
But she can't let go of Xu Qing, if she leaves, what will happen to her daughter?
What should her poor daughter do? What should she do if she had never enjoyed a father's love since she was a child, and now that even her only mother is leaving?
The knock on the door sounded inopportunely, and Xu Qing looked at the door, "Mom, it's time." It's time for me to leave. When you're fine, read more of the books and TV series I brought you. Wait until I'll get back, okay?"
Mother Xu sobbed in a low voice, her hand still tightly holding Xu Qing, unwilling to let go.
The sound of "dong dong" sounded for the second time, and Xu Qing knew that if she didn't leave, she would be punished.
"Mom, I'm leaving, wait for me!, okay?"
Xu Mu let go of her, and her skinny palm wiped the corners of her eyes, "Go, I'll wait for you to come back, I'll wait for you to pick me up!"
Her other hand clutched the white sheet, looking at Xu Qing's glass-colored eyes, brewing a warmth that Xu Qing couldn't understand.
Goodbye, my daughter!
