"Otherwise... let's forget it."
Chen Fan looked at Su Ruochu and grinned.
"I'll take you back."
Su Ruochu looked surprised.
"you sure?"
"What will you do if I go back?"
Chen Fan shrugged, "I'm going home too. I can't go in and stay in the hotel alone, right?"
"But……"
Su Ruochu was embarrassed to say the second part of the sentence. She knew that Chen Fan had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"it does not matter."
Chen Fan gently hugged Su Ruochu into his arms.
"Like you said, there's more to love than just sex."
"I love you. So I won't force you to do anything you don't like."
Su Ruochu whispered: "I... don't like it."
Chen Fan smiled, "Then the wrong time today proves that fate has not come yet."
After speaking, he gently kissed Su Ruochu's forehead.
"I hope our love will be harmonious and natural, and everything will fall into place."
"For you, this should also be the most memorable experience in your life, so I hope to give you the most perfect memory, instead of looking back with regrets in the future."
Su Ruochu was so moved that she hugged Chen Fan and whispered softly.
"sorry."
"Do not blame you."
"If you want to blame it, blame it on the damn weather. It's snowing so hard."
Chen Fan's words successfully amused Su Ruochu.
"Then...I went back?"
"Go back." Chen Fan nodded, "Do you need me to see you off?"
"No need. We don't have the same route. I can just take a taxi myself."
"You should go back early." Su Ruochu hugged Chen Fan with some reluctance.
"You have to call me when you get home to tell me you're safe."
"As commanded."
The two of them chatted for a while, then Chen Fan stopped a taxi and watched Su Ruochu get in the car and leave.
He waved his hand and watched Su Ruochu leave.
Chen Fan put down his arms and turned to look at the express hotel in front of him. He couldn't help but sigh and shook his head with a wry smile.
There have been two accidents in a row.
My own love is too... twists and turns.
After wrapping himself in his down jacket again, Chen Fan walked forward along the street, preparing to hail a taxi and leave.
As a result, after taking only a few steps, Chen Fan stopped again.
Because he saw an acquaintance.
Across the road, a middle-aged man stood there wearing thin clothes and holding a cardboard in his hand.
Whenever he encounters a private car coming out of the hotel parking lot, this middle-aged man will run over and promote himself to the other person.
But what they usually get is rejection and loud shouting.
After being rejected by three or four people in succession, the middle-aged man did not have a disappointed expression on his face, but was just a little numb.
He temporarily placed the cardboard on the ground, then kicked his hands into his sleeves and stamped his feet vigorously on the spot.
Use this to keep yourself warm.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the man was only wearing a dirty ordinary coat.
There was no way to keep out the cold. Standing alone on the road, I was shivering from the cold.
Probably because there were fewer and fewer cars on the road, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, put away the cardboard, turned around and left.
Chen Fan stood opposite, taking in all this.
This middle-aged man was the one he and Su Ruochu met at noon today.
Chen Fan didn't expect to bump into him here again.
Meeting them twice in one day seemed to be a bit of a fate.
I remember that this person said before that he came out to collect money because his family members were in the emergency room of the hospital and were eager to raise money for the surgery.
Chen Fan didn't pay much attention at noon, but now he saw this scene.
On the contrary, he somewhat believed that what the middle-aged man said might be true.
I looked around and saw no taxis passing by, so I had nothing to do anyway.
Chen Fan simply followed him.
He wanted to see if this middle-aged man was lying.
The middle-aged man in front walked very fast and hurriedly, as if he was in a hurry to get to the next place.
Chen Fan had to jog all the way behind to barely keep up.
After passing through three intersections in a row, just when Chen Fan was out of breath and about to give up, the middle-aged man in front suddenly stopped.
I stood on the side of the road and hesitated for a few seconds, then finally turned around and entered a supermarket nearby.
Chen Fan hid in the distance and waited for a while. Soon the middle-aged man came out with a plastic bag in his hand. Chen Fan could see clearly that it should contain a bunch of bananas.
Seeing this man crossing the road, Chen Fan looked to the other side.
District hospital.
He actually came to the hospital.
Chen Fan thought that we were here, and walked into the hospital.
The man did not go to the outpatient building, but entered the inpatient department.
Chen Fan followed him up to the fifth floor and watched helplessly as the middle-aged man entered a ward.
Chen Fan pretended to be a family member of the patient and walked quickly through the corridor.
When passing the door of the ward, he glanced inside and then left quickly.
Arriving at the doctor's office at the end of the corridor, Chen Fan went over and knocked on the door.
"Who are you……"
A doctor inside looked up at Chen Fan doubtfully.
"Doctor, I am a friend of the patient in bed 32. I would like to know about the patient's condition."
"32 beds?"
The doctor was stunned for a moment, "Didn't they say they have no family or friends?"
Chen Fan smiled: "I came here from other places."
The doctor didn't think much, rummaged around on the table for a while and found an inspection report.
"The situation in bed 32 is very serious. Our hospital's recommendation is to immediately transfer them to a provincial hospital for treatment."
"But they refused to transfer him to another hospital."
Chen Fan immediately guessed that the middle-aged man probably had no money, so he was unwilling to transfer to another hospital.
"Doctor, let me ask you what disease Bed 32 has?"
"Stomach cancer is in the advanced stage."
Chen Fan was stunned and didn't react for a while.
"Stomach cancer...then her condition...is it possible to be cured if she undergoes surgery?"
The doctor sighed and shook his head.
"The likelihood is low."
"Furthermore, the success rate of the operation is not high, and the cost is a bit high. It seems that the couple cannot afford the surgery fee..."
Chen Fan thought for a while and asked, "If the operation is successful, can this disease be cured?"
The doctor shook his head.
"The chance is very slim. She is in the late stage of gastric cancer now. Even surgery can only help her relieve some pain and prolong her life..."
"Then if she doesn't have surgery, how long will it take?"
The doctor thought for a while and replied: "More than a month."
"More than a month..."
Chen Fan sighed in his heart.
Now he somewhat understood why this middle-aged man would disregard his face today and take the initiative to find people to promote himself again and again.
They are all miserable people.
Although Chen Fan and the other party were strangers to each other, they didn't even recognize the other party's name.
But at this moment, Chen Fan suddenly had an impulse.
I will help the other person pay for the surgery.
Is reviving a new life just for enjoyment?
Chen Fan doesn't think so.
He didn't mean to be such a good person.
But tonight because he had just separated from Su Ruochu, he was in a bad mood and was a little depressed.
Needing to do something urgently to let off steam.
Spending money is a good way to vent.
I am happy with the saying that money cannot buy it.
Chen Fan looked at the doctor.
"Doctor, let me ask, how much does his surgery cost in total?"
"More than twenty-two thousand."
"This money... I paid it for her."
"But I have a request."
