"88 credits for a drink?! Why don't we move to a cheaper restaurant, brother. ”

Dongtian flipped through the menu several times, but he didn't order the last dish.

After successfully solving the professor's affairs, Xia Ye proposed to go to a restaurant for lunch to celebrate, and after Dong Tian agreed, she took her sister to the best restaurant in the business district.

"We're about to get richly free, and it's time not to celebrate now."

Although there was no logic in Xia Night's words, Dong Tian still let her snatch the menu, and the nouveau riche ordered dishes that two people couldn't finish at all.

In the end, the two of them had to taste only a little of each dish, so as not to fill themselves up before the dishes were served.

“…… It's so funny how your professor reacted today. ”

"Actually, although the professor is utilitarian and likes to squeeze doctoral students, he is right about one thing, of all students, he really devotes the most resources to me, probably because of ...... According to my brother, I have the highest input-output ratio......"

"Are you sympathizing with him?"

"How is it possible, unless one day we become the level of the executives of 'APAC Power', we are qualified to give our sympathy."

"Well, it's you."

"Brother thinks so too, right?"

"Me? A cold-blooded person like Brother Ling, unless he is not a person one day, he doesn't know what sympathy is, right? Hahaha~"

Xia Ye gave Dong Tian a spoonful of vegetables, and then put a spoonful in his own bowl before he spoke: "Just now the hospital came to reply, saying that you can visit at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but it can't take more than 20 minutes, let's go together, right?" ”

"Good. My brother is going to tell my dad that 'Asia-Pacific Pharmaceutical' will help us? ”

"Hmm."

"Could it be too early? What should I do if I find that the treatment is not good after the evaluation of 'Asia Pacific Pharma'? ”

"But if he doesn't have hope, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on at any time."

……

At half past two in the afternoon, the two arrived at the "No. 118 Hospital Affiliated to Asia-Pacific Medical" ahead of schedule, and after registration, they waited for more than 20 minutes, and finally entered the "liquefaction" intensive treatment area under the leadership of the nurse.

A moment later, through the thick glass, the two saw their father.

Even though my father was just over forty years old, he looked like a man in his fifties and sixties. He had a haggard complexion, and his hair had long since fallen out as a side effect of the treatment. His body was half-lying in a 2x2 meter square pool filled with a blue transparent liquid, and two other streams of liquid were suspended in the liquid, which were light yellow and irregular in shape, like a pigment that had just spread halfway and was solidified in the middle.

It was my father's "legs", the legs that had been liquefied.

People who suffer from "liquefaction disease" will gradually turn into liquid in a minimum of a month and a maximum of a year, and the patient will hardly feel pain during the whole process, but the great horror it brings from the psychological level is incomparable to other diseases.

The patient will watch his body melt little by little, as if he is being executed with a gentle lingchi, and when the limbs are gone, he will not die; Of course, when the torso begins to dissolve, he still won't die; Even when his internal organs turned into liquid and he could no longer eat or breathe, he was still conscious...... It is not until even the brain is dissolved that the patient is able to usher in relief.

"Nanorobot Repair Fluid Confinement Therapy" is the only effective method that has been used in clinical practice, but it can only greatly delay the speed of liquefaction, and cannot restore the liquefied body to its original state.

Moreover, this therapy costs 200,000 credits per month.

But even so, whether it is a summer night or a winter day, it is impossible to watch my father die because of this. Seeing that both brothers and sisters grew up and succeeded in work and studies, his father could finally start enjoying life, but "liquefaction" fell on his head.

On the day I got my father's diagnosis certificate, Summer Night finally realized that when God closes a door for you, he will weld the window shut by the way, so that you don't have to escape from the loophole.

But even so, he and Dongday can't sit still.

The siblings almost forcibly admitted their father to the hospital and applied for "nanorobot repair fluid confinement therapy" for him. In order to pay for the treatment, the family house has long been sold, plus the salary of the summer night and the money from the sale of the authorship of the paper in the winter day, the treatment time can only be maintained for a year, and after that, I can only borrow it.

Today, however, these are no longer a problem......

"You're here......"

As usual, he first asked about the work in the summer night, then asked about the situation in the school in the winter day, and then asked about the daily life of the two, and told them to eat well, go to bed early, and pay attention to their physical ...... In the end, the conversation finally turned to his illness unsurprisingly, and the content was still the same: it can't be cured anyway, and it is better to interrupt the treatment and relieve yourself of something than to let yourself suffer here in vain.

As he said this, his father's demeanor was cautious—in the past, every time he mentioned this, Summer Night would be unhappy, but this time, he was surprised to find that both siblings were smiling at the same time.

"Two good news for you, Dad. First, we have money, a lot of money, and we don't have to worry about medical expenses in the future. Second, there is hope that your disease can be cured, and 'Asia-Pacific Pharmaceutical' will use the technology that has just been researched to customize a treatment plan for you......"

……

The 20-minute visit time came in a blink of an eye, and under the repeated urging of the nurse, the two had to say goodbye to their father and leave the hospital.

Just now, when they told their father about the discovery of "dusk" in the winter day and the various conditions that "Asia-Pacific Power" promised to the two, the other party refused to believe it at first, until they asked many details over and over again, and finally realized that the brother and sister did not lie to him.

For a moment, Xia Ye clearly saw that his father's pale face was actually ruddy, his lips trembled, and he muttered incoherently things like "good, good", "really my good boy", "even if I die in this life", he didn't care much about it.

At night, the winter day fell into a deep sleep with a longing for the future, and the summer night waited in the darkness for a while, and when he found that the lord of the castle showed no signs of appearing, he also closed his eyes and let himself fall asleep.

……

On January 1, 2085, the first day of the new year, I had to work overtime on a sad summer night.

Although she will definitely not stay in this lowest position after the "Asia-Pacific Power" will fulfill its promises, but the future is the future, and now is the present, before the pie is fulfilled, she still needs to listen to the command of the small boss in the department and rush to the company to make PPT materials on holidays.

Half an hour to finish the materials, and another hour to try to fish, close to noon, Dongtian suddenly sent a message: "Is it convenient to call now?" ”

"Wait a minute." Summer nights return.

She quickly sent the PPT that had already been completed to the little boss, and said hello to the other party, saying that she would withdraw first, and then walk to a corner where no one was around, and then dial the phone number of Dongday.

"What's the matter?"

"I just got a strange phone call." Winter Day said.

"Strange calls?"

"Well, the other party claimed to be a person from 'Company Z' and said that he was interested in my recent research results and wanted to meet and talk to me."

“…… How did you reply? ”

"I said I wasn't interested. But the other party said that no matter what conditions 'Asia-Pacific Power' promised, they can give a better one, let me think about it seriously and don't rush to refuse. ”

Summer Night was silent for two seconds, and suddenly said, "I suggest you promise them." ”

There was no response from the winter day on the other end of the phone.

Summer Night sighed inwardly, this memory was like a one-line game, and she couldn't make any different choices than then.

She had to ask again, "Did the other party say anything?" ”

"The other party also asked me to ...... Don't put too much trust in APAC. ”

"Well, I see, I'll be back now." After saying this, Summer Night hung up the phone.
