Chapter 158: Confession
Christmas Eve, in the West, is a time for families to gather, and its meaning can be equivalent to Chinese New Year's Eve. However, just as Westerners don't care much about the Spring Festival, after Christmas spread to the East, although it was popular with the younger generation, the meaning of the festival itself has long since become unrecognizable. Especially at home, it has been endowed with the characteristics of a 'big country'.
Legend has it that every year on this day, the small hotels in the neighborhood fill up.
Rin didn't know if it was true, but on the way back to the community with Yun Yun, he did see many more couples than usual. Even, some of them are underage at first glance.
In other words, we would only stay up all night in Internet cafes at that time......
Rin couldn't help but sigh that the times are developing fast, and even children are precocious.
"It's only 10 o'clock."
"Shall we go for another walk?"
"Hmm!"
Yun Yun nodded happily.
Rin chuckled, took her hand, and turned from the side of the road to the park path, "I'm sorry, I was supposed to go to the movies with you today, but now I can't go." β
Yun Yun shook his hand: "It's okay, you can go to the movie anytime." β
"Not anymore."
"Huh?"
"I'm coming back to ask for leave this time, and I'm going to take all the rest of the semester."
"Oh." Yun Yun bowed his head silently.
"Hmmm......"
With no one around, Rin hesitated for a moment and stopped by the artificial river: "...... Actually, there's something I've always wanted to tell you, but I've never had a chance to ...... before."
"What?"
"The ...... of the light rain"
"I know, don't worry about it, I'm not so stingy, the most important thing now is Xiaoyu......"
"Not this."
Yes?
Yun Yun raised his head, slightly stunned.
Rin came to the bench by the river, swept her hand twice, and pulled her to sit beside her, "Do you know what kind of illness Xiaoyu has?" β
Yun Yun frowned and shook his head slightly.
Rin poked the position of the heart: "Complicated heart disease, and it is a rare type in the world......" Seeing that her expression was a little dazed, Rin raised three fingers and simply listed the data: "Let's put it this way, so far, about half a century, there are only about 300 similar cases recorded in the world." β
Yun Yun's lips opened slightly, shocked by this sudden message.
Rin leaned down, his elbows propped up on his knees, and looked at the starlight reflected in the water: "The doctor in charge of taking care of Xiaoyu said that in the past 10 years, there have only been 7 similar cases recorded in China, and the total number of similar cases in the world is about 70...... There may be more that haven't been checked out, right? But that's all I know. β
"Then ......" Yun Yun felt a little dizzy: "Then, can that be cured?" β
"The survival rate after surgery is about 30%. Because the domestic surgery started relatively late, the overall survival rate is not very high, in recent years it is quite good, the 7 cases just mentioned, there are several successful surgeries, but only 3 have survived until now, and the rest either can't survive the operation, or relapse, and they will live for a few more years......"
Yun Yun covered her mouth and opened her eyes wide.
Rin clasped his hands together: "...... The medical conditions in Europe and the United States are better, and the survival rate is relatively high, as long as the operation is successful, nearly 7% can recover......"
Yun Yun shook up: "Then go abroad!" β
"That's what I want to say to you......"
"You, want to go abroad?" Yun Yun only thought of this for the first time.
ββ¦β¦β
Rin shook her head. After a moment of silence, he let out a white breath, turned his face to Yun Yun and smiled: "I'm now, I'm negative equity-"
Ha?
The girl was stunned.
Rin turned back and bowed his head slightly: "In China, the cost of surgery and postoperative rehabilitation adds up to about 1 million, and even if part of it is reimbursed, it will be about 600,000." What about going abroad...... Hehe, people are imperialists, they don't have insurance, and they can't lose half a penny. I calculated last year that even if I only had surgery, it would cost about 300,000, and with rehabilitation, it might cost 500,000 ......" The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he showed a strong smile at the girl: "Beautiful knife, if you combine Grandpa Mao, it will be at least 3 million!" β
Hearing this number at first glance, Yun Yun was also a little dumbfounded.
"My family is fine, a little bit of a family, but not much, smashing pots and selling iron, more than 1 million, more than enough in China, my mother, doctors, and my cousin, they all want to be treated in China...... Actually, I understand them, really ......"
Rin's eyes reflected the light of the river, and he laughed at himself a little: "1~2 million, even if I can borrow it, I haven't graduated yet, I don't know if I have to use it to repay the money for the rest of my life, haha......"
"Then ......" Yun Yun was a little confused.
"Hey, scared?"
"I ......" Zhu lips opened lightly, but Yun Yun flickered.
"I'm sorry, but I should have told you about this a long time ago......"
During the two days of waiting at the hospital, Rin thought a lot. Then, after repeated ideological struggles, I finally felt that I could not continue to hide it because of my selfishness. Because, this is unfair to Yunyun. Although, maybe after saying it, the two will not be able to continue to be together, after all, a debt of one or two million, normal people will be discouraged when they hear it, but it is also the least responsibility and morality to explain it when the relationship between the two people is not yet able to extricate themselves. Otherwise, you'll be like a bastard.
"Actually, I ......"
"Don't make decisions so quickly." Rin interrupted her and stood up with her thighs propped up: "I was naΓ―ve to think that I had the ability to make so much money, but now I don't know how hard it is, and I don't have any reason to deceive myself......" Turning her head and showing a strong smile, "So, I have to tell you that you also have the right to know this...... I shouldn't have any burden on you, let's be apart for a while, and think about it. And then, whatever you want to do, I'll take it. β
Yun Yun looked at him, his mind in a mess.
Ho.
Rin pursed his face, wiped the corners of his eyes naturally, and raised his head: "Let's go, I'll send you back." β
Yun Yun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised his hand slightly.
Rin turned and walked first.
In winter, the vegetation on the roadside is a little withered, and it has a dark yellow hue at night. At some point, the clouds in the sky also obscured the stars and moons, and even the cold wind stopped*.
The two walked all the way back to the community and never held hands again.
