After Li Mushen's mood stabilized a little, Shen Youyou told him the whole process of this incident.

Her stomach cancer, when it was detected, was already stage three.

Even with a complex range of treatments, the five-year survival rate for the disease is less than 30%

During that time, it also happened to be the rising period of Li Mushen's career, and it was a crucial period for him.

She didn't want him to be distracted by that.

Because even if he was distracted, the outcome might not be much better than it is now.

In the days that followed, Li Mushen spent almost all of his time in the hospital with Shen Youyou.

When she was admitted to the hospital for examination, her stomach cancer was already stage 4 and it was getting worse very quickly.

The doctor told them to prepare for the worst, even if they gave her the most expensive medicine and hung for her life with chemotherapy, she probably wouldn't survive this year.

For Li Mushen, this news is tantamount to a thunderbolt from the blue.

It was not easy for him to have everything he has today, and it was not easy for him to marry the woman he loved as his wife.

Why is this happening at this time?

For a while, he blamed all his misfortunes on God's blindness.

But gradually, he realized that it was not that God didn't open his eyes, but that God gave him a chance, and he didn't know how to cherish it.

From beginning to end, Shen Youyou expressed it very clearly.

She didn't want anything, as long as he could be by her side, it was enough.

But Li Mushen didn't seem to understand the meaning of her words.

People, I always feel that there is still a long time, there are still many days, and everything can be pushed back in time.

But when the accident really comes, it will be understood that time is the most unexpected thing.

If he didn't think so self-righteously, only if Shen Youyou was given enough material conditions, she would be happy, and marrying him would be considered to be worthy of it.

If he can stop at the right time and care more about Shen Youyou, then with his experience as a medical student, even if Shen Youyou conceals his illness well, he will definitely be able to find clues.

Therefore, he has come to this point, and no one can blame him.

He can only blame himself.

In the hospital ward, Shen Youyou said something like this to her:

"I've always been afraid that because of my illness, it will affect your future, your dreams. If I do affect you, then I don't think I'll forgive myself even the moment I close my eyes. ”

He opened his mobile phone, which contained many reports about Li Mushen's youth and promisingness.

She flipped through the reports one by one, smiling brightly, "It's so good now." At least I know that I'm not dragging you down. ”

Li Mushen stroked his forehead, "Fool."

Just saying this one word, he was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

Yes, she has always been helping him achieve his dreams.

But Shen Youyou ignored one point.

Li Mushen's dream has always been to be with her well.

But now, it's too late.

The day Shen Youyou left was on a Chinese New Year's Eve when thousands of lights were lit up to welcome the new year.

That night, there was a rare snowfall in City A.

Although it is not big, it still has a thin layer on the ground, and it is very beautiful to look at.

Li Mushen took Shen Youyou back to his home, and he made a candlelight dinner with his own hands, all of which were Shen Youyou's favorite ingredients.

After eating, they listened to music and danced in the living room, as if they could forget all their worries.

Then, when it was almost midnight, we counted down together to welcome the arrival of the new year.

Looking at the fireworks rising in the night sky outside the window, the brilliance bursts into the sky, and then leaves the smoke and dust, and then returns to calm.

Shen Youyou lay in Li Mushen's arms and smiled very hard, "How good." It would be nice to spend every year with you. ”

After a pause, she continued, "But now, I'm content. Mu Shen, can you promise me one thing? ”

Li Mushen nodded, choked up.

Shen Youyou caressed his cheek, "If one day, I leave you, you have to live your life alone, you know?" ”

"You can be sad about my passing, but not for long."

"I think one year is enough."

"There is a time of joy and a time of sorrow. I hope you can face life with optimism. ”

"Because, the you I love the most will always be when I first met you in the study hall that summer."

"The electric fan squeaked and turned, and the sound of cicadas outside the window was very annoying. And you're wearing a white shirt and sitting by the window. ”

"The shadow of the blinds casts on your face, and you look at me and smile at me."

"It was the best time of my life."

Her voice grew weaker and weaker, and at last it was almost inaudible, drowned out by the sound of firecrackers outside the window.

Her body suddenly went limp, and Li Mushen didn't reach out to touch her snort, but she knew what it meant.

He hugged Shen Youyou tighter, pursed his lips, tried to raise a smile, and said softly in his voice:

"Me too."

On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Shen Youyou was in Li Mushen's arms and left very peacefully.

In the days of losing Shen Youyou, Li Mushen only fell into decadence for a short period of time.

As Shen Youyou said, there are times of sadness and sometimes of joy.

He picked himself up again, but he stopped thinking about how to make more money.

Instead, he sold all the shares in the company and divided the money into two payments, one in Shen Youyou's name to set up a charitable foundation, and the other money was used to invest in cancer research.

He has been doing this for the rest of his life.

It wasn't until he was 65 years old that the medical team he led finally solved the problem of cancer and announced that from now on, cancer could be completely cured.

This scientific research achievement shocked the world and made him an international medical tycoon.

Many top medical institutions vied with each other to hire him as a sitting professor, but he politely declined one by one.

He did not apply for protection for his scientific research results, nor did he patent a drug he invented to fight cancer.

He gave back the greatest welfare to the society, so that almost all patients with cancer can afford to use the special medicine he invented.

The pages of major news rushed to report on his legendary life, and everyone regarded him as a saint and praised him.

But only he knows that he can get to this point today and make such a great contribution to the development of human medicine because of Shen Youyou.

If she's still around, she'll be proud of him.

Thinking of this, Li Mushen sat at his desk and stroked the appearance of Shen Youyou when he was young in the photo frame.

Laughed.
