Chapter 10: Short Fate: Terminal Illness 1
Hou Jing's body is getting worse day by day. A few days ago, he went to the hospital alone for a check-up. He was shocked by the results of the examination, and the doctor told him that he had advanced liver cancer. Although the doctor's duty is to save lives and help the wounded, he can only be helpless in the face of Hou Jing's illness.
Cancer is a disease that makes anyone talk about it. Cancer can only be curbed by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and resection in the early stage, which are extremely harmful and costly, and for patients with advanced cancer, cancer means a terminal illness.
Now Hou Jing has reached the point where there is no cure. To add insult to injury, he had very little time left.
Perhaps the most frightening thing is not death itself, but knowing that one's limit is approaching, but having no choice but to wait for old age. Hou Jing's spiritual world collapsed with the weakening of his body.
He began to lose his pursuit of everything, and he was powerless in the face of everything that could be done. He also lived in pain and fear all day long.
Hou Jing did not tell Xiaoqing the bad news of his illness. Xiaoqing is still so happy and happy to live with him. If Xiaoqing learns that he has liver cancer, he firmly believes that Xiaoqing will be in great pain and will love him more than usual.
However, he didn't want this, he hoped that Xiaoqing could spend every day happily. Xiaoqing's joy and happiness also infected him and made him have hope in life again. He began to cherish his remaining time more and more, and hoped that Xiaoqing could accompany him through the few remaining days.
Hou Jing still commutes to and from work as usual. In order to alleviate his physical pain and work with peace of mind, he insisted on taking painkillers, and as his health deteriorated, the number of tablets he took increased day by day. One day, while he was working, he was suddenly tortured by illness again. He was going to take medicine again, but unfortunately, there was no water in the cup.
"I'll do it. Siya walked over and picked up the glass.
"Thank you. ”
Siya didn't say anything, and walked towards the water dispenser with a water cup. When she received the water, she bent down slightly, and the movement was elegant and decent. The painkiller was placed in a drawer on the desk, and after Hou Jing poured out five tablets, he put the medicine bottle back in the drawer.
It all happened before Siya turned around and walked back, quickly and calmly. Hou Jing expected: Siya will not doubt this, and must not know what kind of medicine he is going to take. Hou Jing swallowed all five pills in his mouth, took a sip of water, and then swallowed them together.
"What kind of medicine did you take?" Just looking at Hou Jing's complexion, ordinary people can't see a little sickness. He didn't have a fever and cough, so Siya couldn't help but feel curious.
"Cold medicine. ”
"It can't be an aphrodisiac, right?"
"It does have the effect of aphrodisiac. ”
"Eating five slices at a time seems to be enough to be empty. ”
Siya's gag made Hou Jing forget the pain for a moment, and it also reminded him of what happened between the two of them on the night Siya got drunk. Siya's current conversation and laughter is not unrelated to the events of that night.
She was able to make fun of it, which showed that she had already taken it seriously. Hou Jing doesn't need to be worried about that incident anymore. However, that incident always haunted him like a piece of his heart.
"How are you and that one in your family getting along?"
"Which one?" Siya asked knowingly, obviously contradicting Hou Jing's "the one in your family".
"It's your ex-boyfriend. Have you two reconciled?"
"Why reconcile? I think it's best for us to do this now. He walked his Yangguan Road, and I crossed my single-plank bridge. No one can interfere with the other, and no one has to help the other. ”
"After all, you two have been dating for so many years, how can you say that you can divide it?
"What do I have to feel sorry for? I'm glad I was able to break up with him early. Breaking up was a liberation for me. From then on, I never had to be a cow or a horse for anyone. I can do what I want. Wouldn't it be great?"
"You might be happy now because of the uninhibited days. However, you may be sad in the future because you are alone. Man is a hermaphroditic species. The union of the sexes has been in harmony with the world since ancient times.
One of the main purposes for each of us to come to this world is to find our respective partners, and then spend our lives with him or her. Men and women are like heaven and earth, and neither of them can constitute the world we live in.
It can also be said that neither the country of men nor the country of daughters can exist independently. Whether it is a man or a woman, even if he or she has many friends of the same sex, if he or she does not even have a friend of the opposite sex, he or she is lonely.
Men represent masculine beauty, women represent feminine beauty, they complement each other and together embellish the world. ”
"Listen to you, it is natural for a man and a woman to be together, and if a man and a woman live independently all their lives, they will go against heaven and will be damned. But why are there so many people in the world who are willing to be lonely men and widows?"
"This is because they have not yet realized the importance of gender harmony. That's why there are so many lonely and unhappy people in the world. ”
Although Hou Jing painstakingly explained so many truths to Siya, Siya was still indifferent. However, Hou Jing did not give up her plan to help Siya get back together with her ex-boyfriend. He also feels that although terminally ill people are irretrievable, lovers who break up can be reunited.
