The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 57: Smiling in the Face of Death



"Fuck!" Next to the pool, Zhou Boxiong suddenly spat out his mouthwash, his eyes dead fixed on Tang Rao's hand.

Whether it was Tang Rao crushing the stone with one hand, the dark red light points that leaped out from the stone, or the final absorption of those light points by Tang Rao's palm, all made Zhou Boxiong feel like his worldview was collapsing.

What's this situation? What the hell is this?

I'm definitely, definitely not fully awake yet!

Zhou Boxiong even deliberately slapped his own cheek, ow, that hurts...

...

"It seems my guess was right," Yan Wei said with a smile.

Smack!

Right after Yan Wei finished speaking, Tang Rao went in for a hug.

For Tang Rao, five old ginseng roots were basically inconsequential, but a clump of nascent Dan Fire was an absolutely huge gift.

"Yan Wei, just let me know if you need anything in the future. As long as I, Tang Rao, can do it, I'll do it for you!" Tang Rao gave his promise once again.

There was no choice, whether it was the Pill Furnace sent by Guan Zhenkong or the nascent Dan Fire obtained by Yan Wei, both were enough for Tang Rao to treat him so earnestly.

For those who helped him during his difficult times, Tang Rao would always be filled with gratitude.

"Fuck!" Zhou Boxiong shouted again, pointing at the embracing Tang Rao and Yan Wei, stammering severely, "You, you guys, are actually together!"

Tang Rao and Yan Wei immediately separated, both with a row of black lines on their foreheads.

Fat Bear, this idiot, what the hell is he always thinking about in his head.

"This thing is very important to me, thank you," Tang Rao said again, earnestly.

A clump of nascent Dan Fire deserved his serious and solemn gratitude.

"I accept your thanks," Yan Wei didn't say anything like 'don't mention it.' In Yan Wei's view, accepting someone's thanks could also be seen as a form of good upbringing.

"By the way, now that the exams are over, how is it? Are you all prepared to go back home?" Tang Rao asked casually, exhaling.

"That's right, I've already packed my luggage," Zhou Boxiong said, "Tomorrow afternoon's flight."

"What about Skinny Monkey?" Tang Rao looked at Yan Wei.

Yan Wei's hometown is in Lizhou, but there's not many people left at home, only a sister. Now, his sister is also in Sui City getting treatment in the hospital, so he probably won't be going back home.

"Take care of Qian Qian," Yan Wei said with a trace of a smile on his face.

This cold guy, only when mentioning Yan Qianqian did a smile appear.

"Alright, then let's have a good gathering tonight," Tang Rao looped his arms over their shoulders, "It's on me, Boss Tang."

"Hey hey hey!" Zhou Boxiong was pumped.

"Let's go, first to the hospital to see Qian Qian, we've still got time," Tang Rao said with a smile.

Zhou Boxiong naturally had no objections, and as for Yan Wei, he also nodded.

The three of them arrived at the Eighth Hospital near noon—no help for it, traffic was jammed.

Even with Tang Rao's great driving skills, it was of no use; everywhere was blocked solid.

"How's Qian Qian doing now?" Walking into the hospital building, Tang Rao tilted his head to look at Yan Wei.

Yan Wei swallowed and then looked at Tang Rao, a hint of gloom in his eyes.

"Not too optimistic," Yan Wei didn't deceive Tang Rao and Zhou Boxiong; that was the reality.

"It will get better," Zhou Boxiong patted Yan Wei on the shoulder, the two often bickered, but their friendship was truly solid.

"Here we are," Yan Wei stopped in front of the ward.

After adjusting his breath, his face broke into a brilliant smile Tang Rao had never seen before, and then he pushed open the door.

Seeing the smile on Yan Wei's face, Tang Rao felt inexplicably depressed.

He knew well about Yan Wei's cold nature. For Yan Wei, smiling was a struggle. Yet for the sake of his sister, he was trying his utmost.

After exchanging a glance with Zhou Boxiong, Tang Rao followed Yan Wei into the hospital ward.

"Qian Qian." Upon entering, Yan Wei called out directly.

On the bed, Yan Qianqian was half sitting, wearing a hospital gown, with an oxygen tube in her nostrils, her head raised to watch TV, a smile on her face.

"Brother!" Hearing Yan Wei's voice, Yan Qianqian instantly turned her head, her smile even more brilliant.

Tang Rao had seen Yan Qianqian before, but it was just that—a brief sighting, not leaving much of an impression.

But at this moment, as Tang Rao looked at the smile on Yan Qianqian's face, he felt his whole heart warming.

Yan Qianqian's illness, with the current medical capabilities of Blue Star, was basically beyond salvation.

A person who knew they could meet the Grim Reaper at any moment, yet her face bore not a hint of desolation or sorrow. Tang Rao found it hard to imagine what immense courage and broad Mental Realm it took.

To face death without fear, Tang Rao himself couldn't do it.

"Hehe, Qian Qian sis, Fat Bear is here again. Wow, you've become even more beautiful!" Zhou Boxiong put down the fruits he brought and said cheerfully to Yan Qianqian.

"Fat Bear brother, don't tease Qian Qian. I've gotten fatter lately."

"Hahaha, getting fatter is good! It's good to put on weight!" Zhou Boxiong laughed loudly.

But it didn't matter, after all, it was a private ward, and it wouldn't disturb anyone else.

"Is this... Brother Tang Rao?" Yan Qianqian's gaze moved past Zhou Boxiong and Yan Wei and landed on Tang Rao.

Tang Rao gave Yan Qianqian a huge smile.

"Qian Qian has a good memory, you still remember me!" Tang Rao said with a smile, walking forward, "What Fat Bear said is right, Qian Qian really is beautiful."

Yan Qianqian's cheeks turned slightly red.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, they all have a young girl's heart, and Yan Qianqian was no exception.

Facing such a handsome guy as Tang Rao, blushing was inevitable.

"Thank you, Brother Tang Rao, for visiting me." Yan Qianqian said to Tang Rao, "I heard from brother that I could stay in a private ward to receive better treatment, all thanks to Brother Tang Rao's help."

"Nonsense." Tang Rao said directly, "Qian Qian, you don't know how capable your brother is. To be honest, I'm envious of you. It's just too bad that I don't have such a brother."

With Tang Rao's words, Yan Qianqian chuckled.

Yan Wei looked at Tang Rao with a look full of gratitude.

Thump, thump, thump...

Just as everyone was having a good time, the door to the ward was knocked and then pushed open.

A middle-aged female doctor, looking very gentle, walked in.

"Xiao Wei, come out for a moment." The middle-aged doctor saw Yan Wei and beckoned.

"Wait for me a second." Yan Wei said to Tang Rao and Zhou Boxiong, then quickly left the room.

Tang Rao's ears moved slightly, and he used a bit of Spiritual Energy to make sure he could clearly hear the conversation outside.

"Xiao Wei... Qian Qian's cancer cells are almost out of control," the female doctor said with some difficulty.

Yan Wei did not respond immediately.

After a long pause, Tang Rao finally heard Yan Wei's low voice: "How long does she have left?"

"No more than two months..."

"Bang!" Tang Rao heard a muffled sound, likely from Yan Wei's fist smashing into the wall.

"Xiao Wei..."

"I'm fine." The voice of Yan Wei came through, extremely suppressed.
