Chapter 5 Memory
In the second half of her freshman year, her mother coughed frequently, and she tried to persuade her mother to go to the hospital for a check-up, but her mother only replied that she had a cold and did not say anything.
Xu Nanxing also thought that she just had a cold, and she didn't bother to ask again because of her heavy schoolwork.
It wasn't until her sister Xu Xianglan called that she knew the seriousness of the situation, and Chen Xue'e took them behind their backs for an examination, and the result was lung cancer.
On the phone, Xu Xianglan couldn't help crying, and Xu Nanxing was also in tears at this end. Both sisters know what these two words mean to their families.
But life has to go on day by day, Xu Nanxing can't continue to grieve, his sister still needs to be taken care of, and his mother's illness is even more imminent.
She kept collecting information about lung cancer and was relieved to see that some cases had a good prognosis after chemoradiotherapy and surgery. I hung up the expert number of Jingzhou Medical University on the Internet, and I plan to tell my mother and sister about the information I learned when I go home on the weekend, and also let them feel at ease, and by the way, I will talk about the examination.
After class on Friday, she took the bus home.
Mom is still the same, and she always can't be enthusiastic about her, but she doesn't care about hypocrisy, so she goes to her sister's room when she enters the house.
Unfolding the results of the examination, Xu Nanxing's heart seemed to be rolling in a frying pan. My sister didn't make it clear on the phone at the time, Xu Nanxing thought it was just an ordinary type of tumor, but the report clearly stated that Chen Xue'e was small cell lung cancer, the most dangerous type of lung cancer.
Xu Xianglan was also worried when she shushed her look, until she couldn't stand up in Xu Nanxing's silence anymore, so she asked her with difficulty,
"Is it impossible?"
Xu Nanxing still remembered that dreary evening, he had mixed feelings in his heart, but he said firmly to his sister,
"Sister, I will definitely find a way to cure my mother!"
Even though she knows that there is so little hope, she still wants to try to find a way for her mother to live.
Her school, Gyeongju University, is a well-known comprehensive discipline university in China, and in addition to her art majors, there is also a specialized medical school.
The school library also has all kinds of books on various professional disciplines, and Xu Nanxing has spent the rest of his time in the library to check all kinds of literature and materials since the day he learned about his mother's specific illness.
After a month of hard work, my mother's lesions gradually expanded when I was examined again. After learning the news, Xu Nanxing was in a lonely mood, he didn't smile all day, and he was frequently distracted in class, and was named several times by the professional teacher.
Lu Lixue, a friend who slept with her, asked her privately, and she told the truth under the other party's questioning.
Lu Lixue is a native of Jingzhou, outgoing and hearty, and is a warm-hearted girl. I was also embarrassed when I learned about Xu Nanxing's mother, and immediately said that I would help Xu Nanxing inquire about whether there was a better medical plan.
Xu Nanxing did not refuse, she knew that Lu Lixue's family was in the pharmaceutical business, and the channels were wider than hers, so it was always good to have one more way.
In less than half a month, one day after the evening class, Lu Lixue gave Xu Nanxing an invitation letter.
Xu Nanxing had just made up for a week's professional class in the piano room, and took it with a shaking wrist,
"What is this?"
Lu Lixue raised her eyebrows,
"Just open it and look at it."
Xu Nanxing flipped it open and swept it quickly, his heart was very excited.
This is an invitation to the launch of the new drug of Ruigu Pharmaceutical, which is located in the auditorium of Jingzhou University.
She closed the small card, carefully squeezed it in her hand, and then hugged Lu Lixue, and kept saying thank you in her mouth.
This moment became a turning point in Xu Nanxing's fate.
The moment I got the invitation, fate held two people who belonged to different worlds together.
When Xu Nanxing recalls that day now, he feels that he has walked into a psychedelic dream.
The summer sky is like a child's face, it changes when it is said, the sky is still clear, and the effort to change clothes is cloudy, and the rain is also said to be smashed down.
There were a lot of classes that day, and the professional class teacher dragged on for a while, and after class, Xu Nanxing quickly went back to the dormitory, changed his clothes, and walked to the auditorium with an umbrella.
Ruigu Pharmaceutical's new product launch conference is about to start in half an hour, and she calculated the route from the women's dormitory to the auditorium.
The side path is relatively remote, surrounded by tall ginkgo trees, and most of them are students who are in love on weekdays to walk hand in hand, and it was once jokingly called Lover's Road by students from Beijing University.
The rain was not heavy at first, but after walking for a while, it crackled and fell, and the leaves of the ginkgo trees fell in a slump and covered the ground with verdant. In normal times, Xu Nanxing would definitely stay for a while to enjoy this rare rain scene, but today she was really anxious, and her steps were fast.
There were gradually rustling footsteps behind her, getting closer and closer, Xu Nanxing consciously gave way to the side, but the footsteps gradually slowed down when they passed by her.
Immediately, a shadow obscured most of the light under her umbrella.
"Hello, may I ask you, is the Great Hall from here?"
Xu Nanxing looked sideways, and what caught his eye was an angular face, his stiff eyebrows were filled with water vapor, and the raindrops on his hair gradually gathered at the corners of his forehead, and with his blinking movements, they fell down with a snap, and finally disappeared in an instant on his coat.
The fine rain shone like a mist behind the man, he seemed to be a spirit out of thin air in the fog, and his deep eyes suddenly hit her heart softly.
After being slightly stunned for a moment, Xu Nanxing came back to his senses,
"That's right, follow this road until the end, turn left and you'll be there."
"Okay, thank you!"
The man thanked him and strode away in the rain.
Xu Nanxing looked at the gradually dense rain outside the umbrella and walked quickly.
As she was about to pass the man, she paused for a few seconds, then followed, raising her umbrella a little higher and moving it above his head.
As soon as the light in front of him dimmed, and the rain above his head was stopped by something, Gu Huaizhi glanced up, frowned and said impatiently,
"Why did you come here?"
What sounded behind him was not the voice of assistant Xu Zhinian, but a delicate and soft female voice,
"I'll go to the Great Hall too, and I'll go with you."
Gu Huaizhi turned his head, put away his impatience, and took a closer look at the person in front of him.
The girl wore a ponytail, her fluffy hair was scattered behind her head and moved with the wind, jumping as light as seaweed, tall and plump, and her complexion was strong and beautiful.
Xu is his gaze was too deliberate, the girl looked away slightly, pursed her lower lip, and the corners of her mouth revealed two small pear vortices, like a ripple across the water, rippling into people's hearts.
"I'm in a hurry, are you still going to the Great Hall?"
The delicate voice sounded again, Gu Huaizhi retracted his gaze, and responded with a smile,
"I was embarrassed just now, I thought it was someone else. Then bother you. ”
The person next to him was a little tall, Xu Nanxing's hand holding the umbrella had to be raised high so as not to touch the top of his head, and after walking a few steps, Xu was aware of her struggle, and the man reached out and held the edge of the umbrella handle.
"I'll do it!"
A dry and warm touch brushed the edge of Xu Nanxing's palm, her eyelashes blinked in a panic, the roots of her ears turned red, and she let go of her hand.
The umbrella separated the inside and outside world, and the faint fragrance of white sandalwood flowed between his noses, Xu Nanxing seemed to be in an unknown world, walking quickly with the footsteps of the people around him, and even forgot to ask the question he wanted to ask.
I walked all the way in a trance, and soon saw the sign of the auditorium.
The man raised the umbrella to Xu Nanxing's hand,
"I've arrived, thank you for following me along the way. I'm sorry to delay you for so long. ”
"You're welcome, I'm ...... too"
Xu Nanxing took the umbrella, and before he could finish what he wanted to say, he was interrupted by a panting voice.
"Mr. Gu, I'm late."
Xu Zhi let out a long sigh and moved the umbrella to the top of the boss's head, and then quietly looked at the boss's expression.
Gu Huaizhi just glanced at him, and then headed in the direction of Xu Nanxing,
"What did you just want to say?"
Xu Nanxing glanced at Xu Zhinian and swallowed what he wanted to say.
"Nothing. That...... Good bye. ”
"Goodbye!"
The man bowed his head at her, and then left with the visitor.
Xu Nanxing bit his lip, blaming himself for being too hesitant just now. Today's auditorium to participate in the press conference must be the leaders and representatives of various pharmaceutical companies, if you can know one, at least for the mother has one more way to survive, but I just didn't know what to think, missed such a good opportunity.
Ay......
Shaking her head, she stepped into the Great Hall.
The auditorium was already full of business representatives who came to participate in the press conference, as well as reporters from various media, and before the conference officially began, there were already flashing lights clicking, and two rocker cameras were arranged on both sides of the stage, and the scene was not an ordinary new drug launch.
Xu Nanxing searched for a long time before he could find a seat in the corner and sit down. As soon as he sat down, the host on the stage had already begun to warm up.
She didn't have any idea of the professional terms that the host said, and looked intently at the materials she had just received at the sign-in desk, and her eyes lit up when she saw the recruitment of lung cancer clinical trials.
Then I heard the voice of the host on the stage,
"Next, I would like to invite Mr. Gu Huaizhi, chairman of Ruigu Pharmaceutical, to introduce the clinical trial recruitment project for new drugs, everyone is welcome!"
In the thunderous applause, Xu Nanxing seemed to be surrounded by a vacuum, and only the handsome figure on the stage was left in his eyes. The man's sideburns were still slightly wet, but his eyebrows and eyes were like stars, shining brightly.
Looking at him from afar, Xu Nanxing was stunned.
It turned out that his name was Gu Huaizhi.
Looking at the man talking on the stage steadily, Xu Nanxing's snort seemed to smell the breath of white sandalwood again.
That person is like the sun shining down on a rainy day, warm and dazzling. And she was like a weed just emerging in the corner, and for the first time she had the idea of going out to see the warmth.
