After a while, Wan Qian finally said: "We don't know much about them. We don't know much about their affairs. Xiao Xiaobin rarely mentions his own personal affairs in front of us, let alone Xue Zhikuan.
Wen Sengyu saw the previous behavior of Wan Qian and An He and thought that they knew Xiao Xiaobin well. It seemed that they just had a deep "workplace" relationship.
"So Xiao Xiaobin's funeral arrangements have been made, and how have you decided to explain it to the public?" Wen Sengyu asked.
"This is easy to solve. Just name any cause of death. The simplest one is myocardial infarction." An He said.
"It turns out that the obituaries of celebrities are so casual...behind the glamor, there are many unknown stories." Wen Sengyu thought to himself.
"When do you plan to announce the news?" Wen Sengyu asked.
"Tomorrow morning." It seemed that An He and the others had already arranged everything.
"It seems that tomorrow's hot search has been scheduled." Wen Sengyu sighed.
At Xue Zhikuan's home, he had not been able to contact his "good partner" for a whole day.
"Is your kid dead? You haven't replied to me yet!" Xue Zhikuan still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, and was still sending voice messages to Xiao Xiaobin.
Xiao Xiaobin often didn't reply to Xue Zhikuan's messages before. Most of these cases were because he had just come out of the reincarnation realm and needed to sleep to compensate for the mental damage, so Xue Zhikuan didn't think too much and just kept waiting for the other party's reply.
Xue Zhikuan actually had nothing special to do with him, it was just out of habit.
Every time, he would only use the lame excuse of practicing and rehearsing to say a few words to Xiao Xiaobin.
The relationship between the two of them is very delicate. They like each other, but no one dares to pierce the window. They are all afraid that the other party will not be able to be friends in the future if they find out.
Xue Zhikuan looked through the chat history with Xiao Xiaobin boredly. Basically, they were all messages about Xiao Xiaobin complaining to him.
However, Xiao Xiaobin never mentioned anything about the Reincarnation Realm to Xue Zhikuan, not because he was afraid that he would know, but mainly because he had no way to explain why he entered the Reincarnation Realm.
It was an ordinary afternoon. During a routine physical examination, Xiao Xiaobin discovered that he had pancreatic cancer.
"Your illness...may not be good." The doctor in charge of the physical examination said to Xiao Xiaobin.
"What's wrong? Just say it. I'm very optimistic." Xiao Xiaobin said with a smile to the doctor.
"Are you sure you don't want to call your family over? Or you can call Xue Zhikuan over." The doctor said.
"No, there's no need for Lao Xue to let him know. Just say it." Xiao Xiaobin stopped smiling when he heard Xue Zhikuan's name.
"Judging from the examination results, it may be pancreatic cancer." The doctor took off his glasses.
After hearing the news, Xiao Xiaobin remained silent for a long time, and then he asked: "Is there any cure?"
"It's late, but we will try various methods and use the best team, equipment and drugs." The doctor said.
"Haha, I had no appetite before and had indigestion. I thought it was just ordinary gastroenteritis, a fate played upon me." Xiao Xiaobin was still joking with the doctor at this time, which made the doctor even more at a loss.
"So, how long do I have left?" Xiao Xiaobin suddenly asked.
"Maybe... less than half a year." The doctor sighed softly after finishing speaking.
"Very good, there's still half a year left." Xiao Xiaobin said with a wry smile.
After walking out of the clinic, Xiao Xiaobin leaned against the wall in the corridor in a daze. He didn't know whether to tell Xue Zhikuan about this, whether to tell his relatives and friends, or whether to tell his fans who had loved him for many years.
"What are you doing here?" Xue Zhikuan's sudden appearance interrupted many fragments in Xiao Xiaobin's mind.
Fortunately, he hadn't cried yet, but his expression betrayed everything.
"What's wrong? What are you doing here?" Xue Zhikuan changed his previous attitude and his tone became gentle.
"What can I do? It's just a physical examination. Why are you here?" Xiao Xiaobin's acting skills were very good and he adjusted his emotions instantly. If Xue Zhikuan hadn't been with him for many years, he would have almost been deceived by him.
However, Xiao Xiaobin followed his words and said, "I'm here for a physical examination too. How are your results?"
"I haven't come out yet. I'm going to check another item first. See you in the lobby on the first floor later." Xiao Xiaobin left immediately after saying that. He was afraid that he would cry if he stayed for a second longer.
Xue Zhikuan walked into the consulting room dubiously.
"Huh? You're here for a checkup today too. Did you two make an appointment or it was just a coincidence?" the doctor said.
"No, I just met Xiaobin at the door." Xue Zhikuan greeted the doctor with a smile.
This doctor is a good friend of the two of them. After they became famous, this doctor has always treated them, and he has almost become their personal doctor.
But after they signed the contract with Death, they never came to see the doctor again.
The doctor also wondered why the two people still looked fine on the screen for so long, not at all like cancer patients who were about to die.
"Is he still at the door? He has been out for a long time." The doctor looked at the door doubtfully.
"Don't look, he's gone now. Is he okay? I saw that he was in a daze at the door just now. I don't know if it's because..." Xue Zhikuan dropped the topic easily. He didn't want to put too much pressure on the doctor.
"Old Xue, actually you also know that I can't tell the results to anyone other than the patient at will, but you two are so familiar with me, and he is still your partner." The doctor paused at this point.
"It's okay, just tell me, he will tell me in the end anyway." Xue Zhikuan said.
"Actually, Xiao Xiaobin has pancreatic cancer, which is in the advanced stage." The doctor said.
This news hit Xue Zhikuan like a bolt from the blue. Even if he himself had cancer, he might not be that sad.
"He won't let me tell you, but I think it would be better for someone who knows him well to know this kind of thing." The doctor continued.
It took a long time for Xue Zhikuan to react: "Don't worry, I won't tell him."
After being stunned for a few more seconds, he continued to ask with a dull expression: "How long can he live?"
"At most half a year." The doctor said.
The four words "at most half a year" kept lingering in Xue Zhikuan's ears, making him absent-minded during the subsequent physical examination. He could not believe that the person beside him was about to leave him.
He couldn't imagine how he would spend the days without him, and he couldn't imagine that when he stood on the stage in the future, he would no longer be around him.
Perhaps it was fate, but when his test results came out, the doctor showed a more solemn expression.
"What's wrong? Is there anything worse than Xiao Xiaobin's cancer?" Xue Zhikuan said helplessly.
Xue Zhikuan didn't quite hear what he said next.
He only vaguely heard the word "lymphoma."
He didn't pay much attention to the doctor's comfort and precautions after getting sick.
"What could be worse news than Xiao Xiaobin's departure?" In Xue Zhikuan's heart, Xiao Xiaobin was the most important, even more than himself.
During the review a week later, Xiao Xiaobin got the news from the doctor that Xue Zhikuan had been diagnosed with lymphoma.
We cannot blame this doctor for not abiding by professional ethics. He just told the truth that should be told as a friend.
A month later, Xue Zhikuan learned about the Sacrifice Sect from unknown sources, and Xiao Xiaobin had successfully joined the Boundary Society at this time.
"Oh my God! Are you Xue Zhikuan?!" Han Xiaoyue couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Xue Zhikuan for the first time.
"It's me, please don't get so close to me." Xue Zhikuan responded with extreme indifference.
"I'm sorry...it was the first time I met a star in the Sacrifice Gate...I thought people like you would only appear in the Border Club." Han Xiaoyue couldn't hide her excitement.
Before entering the realm of reincarnation for the first time, Xue Zhikuan was very nervous. He was not afraid of death, he was afraid that his failure would wipe out the last hope of saving Xiao Xiaobin.
"By the way, Brother Xue, have you thought about your name when you go in? How about my name is Qin Mo." Han Xiaoyue had already told Xue Zhikuan about the rules of entering the reincarnation domain.
Xue Zhikuan thought for a long time, and then three words came out of his mouth: "Ai Wenwu."
"Ai Wenwu, what a good name, but why?" Han Xiaoyue asked curiously.
Xue Zhikuan just smiled softly and did not respond to her.
In fact, Xue Zhikuan's name was very simple. He just separated the word "bin" from Xiao Xiaobin and added "ai" in front of it. In his heart, his love for Xiao Xiaobin may be greater than anything else.
At the Border Society headquarters, Xiao Xiaobin recalled the first time he learned that Xue Zhikuan was suffering from lymphoma.
He desperately joined the Border Society and lied that he signed a contract with the God of Death for fame and fortune.
In fact, both of them have their own ideas and opinions.
Their goals are the same, they all sold their souls to death for the "him" around them.
Their mistake was that they did not tell each other the "beautiful" truth earlier.
But this truth just made the two people's most heroic two-way journey.
Xue Zhikuan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He had been waiting for news from Xiao Xiaobin.
"What's going on with this guy? He's still not awake yet?"
Xue Zhikuan did not dare to disturb Xiao Xiaobin's rest, because he knew that Xiao Xiaobin was very angry when getting up, and he would not easily disturb him even if it was such a big thing as being late for the performance.
He looked at the time, it was already past 3 o'clock in the morning.
"Forget it, I probably won't wake up at this point." Xue Zhikuan put down his phone, looked at the photo of the two of them on the bedside table, and then closed his eyes.
Two hours later, he suddenly woke up from his sleep. Although people like them no longer have nightmares, when he got up, he was covered in sweat and felt very uncomfortable.
"Why are you sweating so much...I seem to have a fever."
Xue Zhikuan hasn't had such symptoms for a long time, because his illness seems to have been cured temporarily since he entered the reincarnation realm.
He originally thought that the God of Death had temporarily protected him, but little did he know that there was only one person protecting him from the beginning to the end, and that was Xiao Xiaobin.
Xiao Xiaobin's departure made his illness slip into terminal illness again.
The God of Death is ruthless. In fact, if a terminally ill person signs a contract with the God of Death and wants to save someone other than himself, then his own pain will not diminish at all. Moreover, if this person does not complete 10 reincarnation realms before his death, Then he and the person he wants to protect will die together.
But Xue Zhikuan and Xiao Xiaobin had a bug. The person they wanted to protect each other was terminally ill. This gave the God of Death a problem, allowing the two people to have a temporarily healthy body at the same time until one of them died.
Xue Zhikuan took out the thermometer from under his arm and took a look. Sure enough, he had a fever.
"It's probably just a common cold... I'll go to the hospital first tomorrow." After that, he continued to fall asleep.
When he got up the next day, he felt that the fever had not gone away and was getting worse.
Xue Zhikuan took out his phone with difficulty and looked at the time, 9:30.
Turn on the Internet, and countless messages pop up on the phone screen.
Because Xue Zhikuan had a high fever and had just woken up, he could not see the news in front of him very clearly.
It wasn't until he saw an extremely familiar name that he finally woke up.
These messages all point to one person, and this person is Xiao Xiaobin.
The content of the news is basically the same: Xiao Xiaobin, a famous cross talk actor, passed away due to illness at home at 23:23 last night.
