Thank you new patrons! <3

Father Chu was willing to let Chu Xun in at last.

This time, Chu Xun was reluctant to go, and was actually dragged into the house by his father.

Mother Chu followed while helplessly worrying. “What’s happened now, ah? Don’t argue anymore. Don’t scold our son anymore. Let’s sit down and have a proper talk.”

Father Chu was very worried: “I won’t scold him anymore, aren’t I not scolding him now?”

Father Chu pressed him into the chair. All the documents brought by Chu Xun were put on the table. The whatever, whatever about the house and car were all thrown aside. The medical documents from the hospital were the ones that were important. He was extremely anxious: “You, say it properly, what is your illness? Why are you going to die? Tell us clearly ah.”

He was so anxious that he stammered: “I can’t understand it. What did the doctors mean by writing this? Is there something in your stomach that shouldn’t have grown there?”

Chu Xun said disagreeably, “If you could understand it, then you would be able to become a doctor. Of course you can’t understand it.”

Father Chu was very angry: “You’re such an unlucky child. It’s come to this, don’t be angry with me now, OK? I can’t understand, which is why I’m asking you to explain ah.”

Chu Xun felt his nose sour and his tears were about to spill out. He kept breathing deeply, restraining his urge to cry. He said a few sentences with medical terms that Father Chu could still not understand: “…Anyway, the doctor said that at most I can only live another three or four months.”

Father Chu asked, “Is there no way to cure it?”

Chu Xun: “It can’t be cured, otherwise why would it be called a terminal illness? At most, they can delay the illness and I can live for a few more months.”

Both father and mother were stunned by the grievous news. Father Chu sat down dejectedly, as if he had lost his soul. After a while, he finally calmed down: “You…how many hospitals did you visit? Could it be a mistake? “

Father Chu said, “No, two hospitals are not enough. I know an Uncle Zheng, my former student. Do you remember? He is also the head of the hospital in X city. I’ll ask him where is the best place to get treatment for this disease. Maybe the hospitals you went to are not good at treating this disease. Many hospitals are good in specific departments, treating other illnesses. Let’s look at a few other hospitals, we can’t just await death.”

Chu Xun shook his head. “I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go through that kind of suffering. I don’t want to be treated. Besides, I have no money. I’ve spent all my savings.”

Father Chu had tears streaming down his old face, he really couldn’t hold back anymore. He grabbed Chu Xun’s arm tightly: “You don’t have money, but I do ah. Ask me for it ah, I’ll give it all to you.”

Chu Xun suddenly couldn’t bear it too. Along with his father, it seemed as if the dam on his lacrimal glands had burst open.

“It’s very expensive; it’s like burning money. You are only a poor teacher, and you always help those students with material assistance. Uncle and auntie also depend on you for money. Your little savings and pension are useless! Even if I sold the house and car, it wouldn’t necessarily be enough.”

Without hesitation, Father Chu almost began to scold and shout again, “Don’t worry about this! Your mother and I can sell the house. I’ll go borrow money and ask for favors, even if we have to sacrifice everything we must still treat it! “

Chu Xun was slightly moved, but still shook his head: “It doesn’t make sense, Dad. Don’t treat it. Don’t lose your money along with the person. When I’m dead, if you don’t have money to pay off the debts, then everything good will be gone. It’s better to save money for your retirement and live a comfortable life. If you feel sad, you can adopt another child. One that’s not… not like me, always provoking and angering you.”

Father Chu asked, “If you died, how could we just live at ease? I only have you, my only son.”

Chu Xun smiled: “Didn’t you just say that Chu Xiao Pang is your little son?”

Father Chu was crying loudly: “Isn’t that, isn’t that just a joke?”

Father Chu held on to Chu Xun and wouldn’t let go. “Dad will take you to several more hospitals tomorrow. We will work hard to treat the disease. I will not give up. You also mustn’t give up. All right?”

Chu Xun, choked with emotion, said, “It’s really incurable, Dad. I’ve checked it. There’s no case of anyone recovering from this in the entire world.”

Father Chu was still unwilling to surrender, “Then you will be the first!”

His Dad didn’t scold him, but Chu Xun seemed to have been shocked. He stared blankly, sniffed, and didn’t speak.

Father Chu said, “I have taught you since childhood that you can’t be afraid of difficulties. Do you not remember? When was my, Chu Shan’s son a coward? When we fought, didn’t you have a lot of courage? You even dared to say boldly and confidently that you liked men! Now you confidently said that you want to go die! You aren’t even afraid of death. Why are you afraid of some treatment ah? “

Chu Xun’s glasses lenses were steamy because of his tears. He took off his glasses and wiped his tears. He said aggrievedly, “It was you guys who didn’t want me… I didn’t know who I should continue living for.”

Father Chu immediately burst into tears.

His father took his hand and cried loudly. Such an old man in his fifties – usually very solemn and proper, an old teacher who rarely smiled – crying until he was exhausted. Father Chu put down his stubbornness: “Jun Jun ah, I’m sorry, it’s Dad who let you down. I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

When Chu Xun saw his father crying like this, the resentment he previously harbored against his father vanished into thin air. He didn’t weep as severely, but he was still a little choked up.

“Don’t you have high blood pressure? Don’t cry. You will also be ill then. What should I do? What are you crying for? I’m not even crying as much as you are. I’m the one who’s sick, and you still need me to comfort you. Do you not feel ashamed?”

“Mom, you go soothe Dad.”

Chu Xun turned his head and saw his mother. His mother’s face was also full of tears, and he couldn’t help crying again. But his father was crying very loudly while his mother was completely silent. Looking at her, it seemed she was about to fall apart as well.

The husky saw everyone crying and lay beside them, ears drooped, watching them, as if he was also very sad. His blue eyes were teary; he blinked and blinked, and there was a “ying ying” sound coming from his throat.

Father Chu sniveled and wept: “Dad will take you to the hospital. It’s OK, ah, it can be treated. Don’t be afraid. Be brave.”

Chu Xun cried and cried, but seeing how ugly his father was when crying, he smiled: “I’m not afraid. All right, I’ll treat the illness. Don’t cry anymore. You are so ugly when you cry.”

Father Chu said as he cried, “You stinky boy, laughing and saying that I’m ugly.”

Chu Shan was an old retired teacher who was rehired. He taught the junior class. Originally, he was going to continue teaching next semester, but he didn’t plan to continue anymore. He was not the kind of person applauded in newspapers for putting work and his students above everything, who could bear to miss the remaining time he had with his family. He directly resigned from the school. Nothing was more important than his child.

His only son was going to die. He had no time to deal with anything else.

Chu Xun said that he had only three or four months left, which should be calculated on a daily basis. He didn’t know whether this was a three digit number, whether it was more or less; either way they had no time to delay.

Chu Shan didn’t sleep all night. How could he fall asleep? He found all the connections he could. He couldn’t wait at all. He found the doctor he knew: a student he had taught before. He worked as the vice president at some hospital among the top three in the provincial capital. Their relationship had always been rather good. The other side was kind and righteous. He agreed to help in a heartbeat and recommended the right hospital and doctor.

Then he found a friend who dealt in real estate, planning to sell the house.

However, Chu Xun stopped him: “Dad, calm down. Sell my house first, OK? My house is more valuable. Don’t be so anxious. “

In fact, he felt that if he died quickly, then his father would not have to sell his house. Even if he died, his parents would at least have a house to live out their elderly days.

But Father Chu didn’t comply: “It will be too late to sell at that time. We must first put it up to find a good buyer.”

The next day, his father took Chu Xun to see a doctor according to the student’s introduction. His father and mother regarded him as a fragile commodity. They didn’t even let him drive and wanted him to sit in the back seat.

Chu Xun didn’t think he was so weak, but he still obeyed his parents.

Early the next morning they rushed over. They drove for more than three hours, and finally arrived at the hospital before noon. Father Chu’s student had already informed the expert and added him into the queue. They immediately met the doctor directly in the outpatient department without taking a rest.
