I'm The Hard Rice King

Chapter 8 Suffering from cancer?

"Life is a snowfield that is so silent and desolate that it makes people despair; life is a mire that is full of miasma and makes people sink into it."

"So lonely people began to imagine that love is the antidote to life and that love can save boredom."

"But love is only a rare romance in suffering. Love is just the last courage when we are afraid."

"——To Xu Manying."

These words are written in the lower right corner of Xu Manying's portrait.

When Xu Manying walked out of the hotel, he did not drive away, but sat in the car and watched it again.

The writing was very small, and Xu Manying had not fully unfolded it at that time, so I did not see it at the first time.

Seeing this line of text at this time, an unspeakable emotion surged into Xu Manying's heart.

"Are you saying...that I have unrealistic illusions about love?"

During the period after the two broke up, although Xu Manying was angry, she also did some reflection on the relationship. It is true that as Li Peifeng said, relationships are a matter between two people. If they can break up, they have more or less responsibilities.

That means the expectations are too high, the desire to control is too strong, and the pressure on the other party is too great...

"In the final analysis, the scumbag is not worth it! He doesn't deserve it! You asked me to pay for the meal, but you still want me to pay for the shopping. Is that a problem of money? It's a problem of attitude. And you are keeping me, but you don't even stay after I pay the bill If you don’t stay, just watch me leave?”

"Are you asking me to get back together?!"

Xu Manying threw the painting aside and looked at the door of the fast food restaurant, upset.

…

"Where to eat?"

"Who will pay the bill?!"

Li Peifeng walked out of the restaurant, his face was pale, his steps were sloppy, like a living corpse that had not eaten human flesh for three months, and he was in a trance.

The system's punishment BUFF was extremely powerful. After he settled the bill, all the food in his stomach was emptied.

This made him even hungrier than before eating. At that moment, Li Peifeng even wanted to steal the jobs of other female diners in the restaurant and lick their leftover plates...

In order to prevent himself from acting irrationally when he was hungry, Li Peifeng could only choose to come out temporarily and prepare to call people to see which female classmate could get a temporary meal ticket.

"Drip~"

The Audi A7 whistled, but Xu Manying didn't even roll down the window.

Li Peifeng, who was fiddling with his cell phone, turned around slowly and was relieved to see the other person. He opened the door and got in the car without ceremony.

"Did I let you in?"

Xu Manying said angrily: "I honked my horn to tell you to stay away. I'm about to drive. Get off!"

Li Peifeng didn't say a word after getting into the car. He just looked around for food. Finally, when he saw a half bottle of tea in the center console, he couldn't help but take it off and twist the cap to drink...

"That's what I have left!"

Xu Manying curled his lips and said, "It has been in the car for almost three days."

Li Peifeng drank even faster after hearing this. The sugar and trace amounts of carbohydrates in the drink were partially decomposed by the α-amylase secreted by the oral cavity, and then entered the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The drink would be absorbed by the peristaltic blood vessels of the intestinal wall and enter the The blood circulates and then reaches various organs in the body through blood transport...

[Xu Manying donated food (converted to 1 yuan in money), and the assessment task was completed...]

"His ha~"

After finishing half the bottle of drink, Li Peifeng was still unsatisfied and looked at Xu Manying with tears in his eyes: "Can you treat me to another meal? I'm hungry."

"Hungry? Didn't you just finish eating?"

Xu Manying subconsciously said: "You eat so much..."

Before she finished speaking, she was shocked when she saw Li Peifeng's face, and her first reaction was to call the hospital for emergency help.

Because Li Peifeng's current state is too scary. His face is pale, his cheeks are thin, his lips are bloodless, veins are looming on his forehead and neck, his eyes are dull and have dark circles...

This is completely different from the Li Peifeng Xu Manying saw just now!

The scene where the two had just eaten flashed through Xu Manying's mind one by one. Recalling the details of that conversation, she seemed to understand something and frowned: "Are you really sick? What's going on?"

I'm so hungry!

Li Peifeng only felt a faint sadness and powerlessness sweeping over him. He did not dare to look at Xu Manying's eyes anymore. He held the car door with one hand and an empty bottle in the other. He raised his head and looked up at the sky outside the window at a 45-degree angle, because that would make the tears flow away. It didn't fall, but the melancholy blue color of the sky reminded him of his sad life in the future.

"Yeah, I'm really sick!"

"My disease... is very complicated, but one of the symptoms is that I get hungry quickly and I can't eat hard food, so I have to eat soft food."

Xu Manying was silent for a moment, then opened the car door: "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."

…

In order to avoid attracting attention, Li Peifeng did not go to the Cantonese fast food restaurant again, but ate at a noodle restaurant nearby.

Two bowls of noodles, four eggs, and a large chicken drumstick were all put into Li Peifeng's stomach.

While he was eating, Xu Manying remained silent and kept searching for something on his mobile phone...

"Question: What diseases can cause increased appetite and rapid hunger?"

"Answer: Many cancer patients are prone to hunger symptoms. In fact, hunger symptoms are caused by the reduction of nutrients in the patient's body."

"Q: Cancer patients get hungry quickly and don't have enough to eat. At what stage in the morning, noon and evening?"

"Answer: It is easy to feel hungry. Usually when the cancer reaches the middle and late stages and the cancer cells spread wildly, the patient will feel hungry easily. Cancer is a chronic wasting disease. For cancers of various organs, there are generally no obvious symptoms in the early stages. But as the disease progresses, cells tend to grow faster, sometimes causing a lot of consumption of the body, especially for liver cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer and organs that are closely related to the daily life of the human body..."

The more Xu Manying searched, the heavier he felt.

So, is this why you left me?

Some time ago I learned that I was seriously ill, and I didn't want to drag me down, so I used cold war tactics to get me to break up with her, and I treated the illness silently. After a month, I spent all my savings on the treatment, but instead of getting better, my condition got worse. I had no choice but to I could borrow money from people around me, but it was only a drop in the bucket, so I gave up treatment altogether.

Now that I know that my life is not long and there is nothing I can do to save myself, before I die, do you want to see me one last time to apologize without leaving any regrets?

Everything makes sense!

Xu Manying once again reappeared the haggard look when he saw Li Peifeng for the first time today, and couldn't help but blame himself for not discovering Li Peifeng's condition in time.

You must have endured the torture of cancer and worked all night in the ward to complete that painting, right?

The sentences in the painting must be inspired by your feelings, right?

Suffering from a terminal illness, you are in despair, pain, and silence, stuck in the quagmire and constantly struggling.

But love is a rare romance in suffering, but love is the last courage when we are afraid. It is the only one that is your spiritual support...

So, your romance, your bravery, your antidote, is it me? !

Fool! !

Xu Manying looked at Li Peifeng with mist of sadness floating in the depths of his eyes.

"Hiss Liu~His Liu~Hiccup~"

Li Peifeng transformed into a ruthless noodle machine, but in Xu Manying's eyes, he was a real threat to terminal cancer. Although he cursed this scumbag to die in front of his eyes many times after the breakup, the curse has come true now, and Xu Manying did not have the big revenge he expected. The feeling of being rewarded is just helpless and sad.

In these short twenty minutes, she had already imagined a bloody Korean drama...

"I am full!"

Li Peifeng didn't realize it. After drinking the last mouthful of noodle soup, he was already sweating profusely and his face looked better: "Thank you for the hospitality. You can go back. I will just walk home."

Xu Manying asked with luck, "Does your uncle and aunt know your physical condition?"

"what do you know?"

Li Peifeng said strangely: "I just have a big appetite and digest it quickly. It doesn't affect anything."

Xu Manying interrupted: "I saw the look on your face just now, how dare you lie to me? And why did you borrow money from people around you before? Borrowing money shows that you have no money yourself. You usually don't spend much, and how many other things do you have?" How come all the savings of 100,000 yuan are gone?”

"I borrow..."

"You said you lent it to a friend. Do I know who that friend is? Do you dare to tell me? Call him now and confront him!"

Lying will greatly increase the cost of communication. One lie requires countless lies to cover up...

Xu Manying murmured: "You are a face-saving person. You will never borrow money unless you have to, unless you ask for help when you are in a life-or-death situation... Then why didn't you tell me? Why do you want to hide it when things have developed to this point? Follow me?"

Li Peifeng really wanted to deny it, but he really had no good reason to explain his physical performance and behavior. After all, it was very difficult for him to borrow money from others, and normal people would never eat two pots of porridge in a row. Still looking like he was about to die, he sucked down two large bowls of noodles.

This kind of person is definitely seriously ill!

"..."

Seeing that Li Peifeng was silent, Xu Manying was even more sure of what he was thinking. He was even more sad, and his words were slightly confused: "The doctor said you... how long do you have? Is there any possibility of misdiagnosis? Even if there is no misdiagnosis, there is always a cure. I hope, even if it is one ten thousandth... Why, why do I only know now!"

"How much does treatment cost?"

Xu Manying's eyes were firm: "I'll give it to you."

Li Peifeng's mind was completely confused, and he didn't know what to say.

What the hell is this? what happened? What happened? What kind of bloody love script?

How do I explain this? It doesn’t make sense! Am I really sick? It seems that there really is...

Disease name: If you don’t eat soft rice, you will die syndrome.

Cause: Obtain soft rice system binding.

Fifty-seven days of life countdown.

The treatment requires a total of two stages. The first stage "treatment fee" is 30,000 yuan. You have paid 226 yuan, and you have 29,774 yuan left...

It can only be said that due to a strange combination of circumstances, the two had a not so beautiful misunderstanding, but it also reflected the subconscious mind of Xu Manying, a woman in love.

"This woman really wants me to die!!"
