When he arrived at the classroom door today, he was already late. Xue Bao apologetically greeted the teacher and then walked to his seat with his head lowered. Lin Jian considerately pulled up a chair for her, sized her up and laughed: "You don't even want to attend class because of your rich family's lifestyle?"
Xue Bao hurriedly used his eyes to silence him. He whispered, "Don't be so loud, it's just that my cousin is sick. I'll stay there with her for a while." She had to hide the fact that she was faking marriage from all her good friends and classmates!
Lin Jian had always had a good relationship with her because he lived next door. They could be considered childhood friends.
At the end of class, Xue Bao was packing his stuff as he casually asked, "Is my mother still alive?"
"She's still alive. When I went out this morning, I saw her burning paper in the courtyard. She said," Let go of my baby. If you want to bring her, then take her old bones with you … " With that, he laughed loudly.
"You're so annoying!" Xue Bao spat at him, and always teased her because of mother fan's superstition. However, she still felt a surge of warmth flowing through her heart. It was time to return and see that foolish mother of hers. After not seeing her for a few days, he had scolded her quite a bit and thought of her as well!
"I'll go back with you." Xue Bao and Lin Jian walked towards the shed together, and as usual, sat behind his bicycle. They hugged his waist, and looked at each other as if they were young lovers. This pattern continued from the fourth grade until now, and they were both too used to it, as if there were no gender differences between them.
"If you don't go back, won't your aunt be lonely?" Lin Jian's voice dissipated in the wind, mixed with the sound of the wind coming from the carriage. Xue Bao shook his head. "No way. It's only been one night."
Her smile was exceptionally bright, and her hair fluttered in the air.
The two of them quickly returned to the Fan family's small courtyard. When mother fan saw Xue Bao return, he quickly ran out. He held her hand and said, "Baby, don't come in yet. Let me drive away the evil spirits and don't bring the little ghost into the house."
After saying that, he sprinkled a bowl of salt water that he had prepared earlier onto her head. Xue Bao's face darkened as he wiped the water droplets on his face and angrily shouted, "Mom! If you don't want me to come back and say it directly, why are you throwing water all over me?! "
"Well, why didn't Mom want you back? "You can come in now. Mom will cook the Red Braised Fish for you." mother fan laughed and pulled her into the house. I can't blame her ah, Yan Family is heavy, it's best to be careful!
"Mom, I want to eat two!" Xue Bao said in a spoiled manner.
"Alright, it won't be a problem even if I eat ten of them." mother fan held her hand and said, "I'll call Mister Yan. You shouldn't go back tonight, but your new marriage … Sigh, let's forget about getting the driver to pick us up later. "
"Mom, I'm not going back tonight. Old Master Yan said that I can be as free as I was in the past." Xue Bao Dao. She hadn't slept at her own home for a few days. She missed it a lot, but she was actually resisting the urge to go back to that terrifying home.
"Mm, as long as you're happy." In any case, she was quite reluctant in her heart, if Yan Family was that open-minded, then it would be for the best. She was about to ask how things had been for the past few days when she heard a burst of tears from the next room.
The mother and daughter pair were startled, unwittingly walking over. Pushing open the courtyard door, they saw Lin’s mother lying on the sofa, crying his heart out. As for Father Lin, who had just returned from the hospital, he too was in pain. Only Lin Jian was standing there, blankly looking at his parents before looking at the medical records in his hands.
"What's the matter with you, Mrs. Lin? What happened? " Xue Bao extended his neck to look at the medical records in Lin Jian's hands, but was carried behind him, a look of panic flickering in his eyes.
"Show me!" Xue Bao extended his hand out to snatch it, but unexpectedly, it was torn to shreds by him. mother fan was extremely anxious, and asked again: "Oh! Just what's going on, hurry up and tell me! "
Father Lin did not answer her, but patted Lin’s mother's shoulders and said with a trembling voice: "Wifey, don't be like this. Actually, I already had's medical records long ago, and knew that he contracted leukemia, and because I was afraid that you would be hurt, I had been secretly searching for the appropriate type of bone marrow. But I did not expect that it would be so hard to find.
"Leukemia?!" Xue Bao cried out in alarm and sized Lin Jian up in astonishment, the sound resonating in his mind. Who has a chance of surviving this disease, especially the poor? Ten million was simply an astronomical figure to the Lin Clan!
Lin Jian remained silent. He was neither crying nor trembling, but his eyes were filled with unconcealable fear. Xue Bao quietly grabbed his hand, silently giving him the power to support. Lin Jian who was so happy just a moment ago, how did he suddenly get such a huge amount of energy?
"10 million?!" Which vampire would have such a huge appetite?! " mother fan shouted, "Old Lin, where did you find this kind of vampire in the hospital? Tell me the name of the address, I will definitely wake him up!"
Father Lin sighed helplessly and said, "He is the richest man in the world and does not lack money. He casually said ten million just to spare us the bother of him." It wasn't easy for him to use his authority to secretly find the appropriate bone marrow, he didn't expect it to be like this!
"There are so many people with the richest Ning City. Which one is it?" The mother fan asked.
"The Yan Clan's General Manager, Yan Junyi, is also known as the Yan Family's Young Master …"
"Bang!" The sound was the sound of Xue Bao and mother fan falling on the tea table at the same time, and the teacup fell to the ground. Yan Junyi! Xue Bao could not believe his own ears. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
Oh my god! He never thought that the one who was matched up with Lin Jian's bone marrow would actually be Yan Junyi's vampire. He still dared to ask for ten million? He truly had no conscience. He didn't have any love in his heart! He deserved to be tortured by the moon!
"Ugh …" mother fan was at a loss for words. He used his eyes to glance at Xue Bao, because everyone was immersed in grief. No one thought of helping the mother and daughter pair. The mother and daughter pair had to hold on to each other as they stood up from the ground. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
"What should we do? If anything happens to Lin Jian, I won't be living anymore! " Lin’s mother howled and cried, pushing Father Lin as he shouted emotionally, "Aren't you a doctor? Why can't you cure our son? We have saved outsiders our entire lives, why can't we save our son?! "
"Wife, calm down. This isn't a matter of technique, it's …"
"I don't care! You must treat Lin Jian, or else I won't forgive you, wuuu … " Lin Jian reached out to pull her back, tears streaming down his face as he consoled her, "Mom, don't blame Dad. Dad has already done his best. Don't blame him."
Xue Bao also grabbed onto her other hand and advised: "Lin’s mother, don't be sad. Things haven't reached the final stage yet, Lin Jian will definitely be fine." She advised without confidence, so naturally, Lin’s mother did not listen to her and continued to wail.
The Lin Family just cried like that tonight, and only after it was very late did they coax Lin’s mother to sleep. Xue Bao and Lin Jian walked out of the courtyard together. Xue Bao pulled his hand, forcing a smile and said: "Lin Jian, are you afraid?"
"Do you believe me when I say I'm not afraid?" Lin Jian laughed bitterly, squeezed her hand and sighed: "But don't worry, I will be strong, because my parents are even more afraid of me than I am."
"Well done, Lin Jian is always the best!" Xue Bao's expression changed as he hugged his neck, sending tears that had accidentally slipped out of his eyes on his clothes. Usually, she would not cry so easily, but today, she cried. She was worried, moved, all because of Lin Jian.
"Baby, are you going to return to Yan Family so late?" Lin Jian looked at the door of a luxurious car, and changed the topic. Xue Bao tapped his shoulder and protested in dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say you weren't allowed to call me 'Baby'?" It sounded like a baby. mother fan always called her that, but she had already started acting like a chicken skin, but he still called her that!
"But I like to call it that." Lin Jian laughed and patted her head: "You still haven't answered my question."
"En, I need to go back. Remember to help me get a seat tomorrow." Xue Bao released him, trying his best to use a light tone to speak. Originally, she did not plan to return tonight, but now, she wanted to return. For Lin Jian!
Only until he saw Lin Jian agree to it, did Xue Bao wave his hand at him and run out of the courtyard towards the luxurious carriage. The luxurious carriage immediately brought her out of the Lin Family household's gate. Lin Jian stood in the courtyard and stared in the direction the carriage drove off, and he was unable to recover from his shock for a long time.
