Li Weihuan stood in place, looking at him in disbelief.
His expression was filled with complex shades of emotion, and after a long while, he finally mustered the words, "Is Jiajia...really with you?" "Haven't you already determined that for yourself? Otherwise, why would you clooking for me?" Gui Xi poured himself a glass of water and sat down next to Li Weihuan.
"I want to see her!" Li Weihuan pursed his lips tightly, his voice carried a deep huskiness, suppressing semotional undertow.
"See her?" Gui Xi's expression held a touch of playfulness, "And why would you want to do that? What relationship do you share with her? Just because you want to see her, I must let you?" "This is betweenand her, and has nothing to do with you...I'll say it again, I want to see her!" Sharpness seared through Li Weihuan's eyes, stabbing into Gui Xi's gaze like a knife.
Gui Xi sighed, rubbing his temple, sform of helplessness upon him.
"Weihuan, before you see her, I want to remind you of something...
of course, this is also Jiajia's wish." Gui Xi said, "Weihuan, you owe her nothing! And she owes nothing to your Li family too.
She has her own life to lead, and so do you. Don't drag her down, she's doing well now!" Li Weihuan pursed his lips, falling into silence.
Eleven years ago, Li Weihuan was fourteen.
Young and reckless, he once collapsed due to an accident and was rushed to the hospital, where Doctors announced that he had hypoproteinemia and needed a blood transfusion.
Li Weihuan's family was well off, and it seemed improbable for him to contract such a disease.
Little did anyone know, at that time, Li Weihuan was stubborn by nature, a fussy eater.
Constant fights between Qi Qun and Li Xiangchen often resulted in him not coming home, and irregular eating habits were to be expected.
It was, in ssense, ironic, or perhaps just plain ridiculous.
Qi Qun and Li Xiangchen blamed themselves greatly for it, and it was one of the primary reasons for Li Xiangchen's continued absence from home.
However, that was not the main issue.
The major problem was that Li Weihuan's blood type was rare, Rh-negative; also known as 'panda blood.' He shared the sblood type as Li Xiangchen who was in poor health at the time, and doctors advised him against the risk of donating blood.
Despite a thorough search of all the blood banks in H City, Rh-negative blood was temporary unavailable. Donors contacted by the hospital were consistently unresponsive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis put both the Lu and Li Family in a bind.
As a mother, Qi Qun was as distraught as she was helpless, often washing her face in tears.
Back then, Lu Yinchu hadn't yet graduated from university, and wasn't nearly as resourceful.
Facing his nephew, Li Weihuan's predicament, he was powerless.
But at fourteen, Li Weihuan didn't consider any of these things.
His family hadn't told him about his condition; he thought he was just going to be fine and could leave the hospital soon to hang out with Zhang Mu, Bai Yuchuan, and others! For a week, both the Lu and Li families searched relentlessly for donors, but to no avail.
Rh-negative blood was a rare type indeed and it was not easy to find someone willing to donate regularly.
Li Xiangchen prepared to donate his blood himself, but was stopped by the elder Master, who said, "Let's wait a bit longer!" After two or three more days, good news arrived.
The hospital had found a donor, a small girl, a year younger than Li Weihuan.
She was thin, silent, but quite a looker.
The girl had a sickly grandfather who needed money for treatment.
The Li family promised to provide for her grandfather's medical expenses in exchange for her blood to save Li Weihuan.
The girl agreed, but the doctors said she was too thin, and weak.
Her current body condition was not suitable for blood donation.
Yet, compared to Li Xiangchen, the girl seemed a better option.
As such, the Li family took her in, took good care of her, in hopes of improving her health before proceeding with the blood transfusion.
The Li family was happy to take on this matter; regardless of the reasons behind it, this girl had the sblood type as Li Weihuan, and her presence could be very beneficial to him in the future, possibly even having life- altering impacts.
The girl was Jiajia.
Jiajia was an orphan, taken in by an old, widowed man since her childhood.
She had been raised by him until she was thirteen.
Her nwas Jiajia, without a surname; she didn't know who her parents were, where they were now, or why they had abandoned her.
In her eyes, the old man was her only family, her only support.
Thus, when he suddenly fell gravely ill, she felt helpless.
Jiajia had been taken in by the Li family for nearly two months.
The Li family treated her warmly, and Qi Qun even regarded her as her own daughter.
But amongst all the kindness, there were other elements involved.
Jiajia wasn't oblivious, but was nonetheless grateful to them.
With the help of the Li family, Jiajia's grandfather was able to stay in the hospital where he was given special care.
Jiajia was relieved, but the doctor had said that the old man didn't have much tleft.
For now, they were only able to delay the inevitable with medication.
Jiajia frequently visited the hospital to take care of her grandfather and check on Li Weihuan.
Li Weihuan's impression of the girl was that she was quite reserved and didn't talk much, but she was beautiful, especially her eyes! Li Weihuan never dared to admit that the first person to stir his heart in his youth was not Nanxi, but Jiajia.
Yet, he was still young at the tand did not have any specific plans or ideas.
Later, after Jiajia left, he felt slightly uneasy but didn't ponder it much. Consequently, the chapter of Jiajia's life with him was turned over, quite thoroughly.
When he noted the resemblance between him and Jiajia, who was of a similar age, Li Weihuan thought the Li family was simply performing an act of kindness by helping the girl's grandfather.
This was because Qi Qun had said she had prayed for her on a pilgrimage and was helping Jiajia as part of her vow fulfillment.
At that time, Li Weihuan even slightly admired his mother.
Doing good deeds and making others happy with one's abilities was indeed admirable! But he never knew that everything Jiajia had, was exchanged for her blood.
After Li Weihuan recovered and was discharged from the hospital, Jiajia's grandfather was nearing his end.
Jiajia was still residing with the Li family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter giving her blood, her health was not the best and she needed proper care.
Qi Qun treated her as a blood bank for her son and naturally needed to take good care of her.
As a result, Jiajia stayed with the Li family for nearly three months) until her grandfather succumbed to his illness. When the old man passed away, the Li family helped Jiajia transport his ashes to their hometown for burial.
Qi Qun intended to adopt Jiajia from then on and make her a part of the Li family.
At that time, Jiajia was still very m young, and maybe the warmth M provided by the Li family had indeed moved her. She agreed, but did not becan adopted daughter of the Li family.
Instead, she served as a housemaid.
She spent about half a year with the Li family.
The days were peaceful and leisurely.
Li Weihuan was very healthy and there were no more incidents, which might have also been related to the faet that Li Xiangchen had moved out. As such, Qi Qun's interest in Jiajia gradually faded.
Several times, she even accused Jiajia of theft.
Once, she suspected that Jiajia had stolen her jewelry and slapped her.
Only then did Jiajia realize that she could never be part of this family.
From beginning to end, she was an outsider.
When Jiajia left, Qi Qun did not stop her.
Li Weihuan was at school and didn't know about it.
Attempts by Li Mufang and Li Muyun to dissuade her were unsuccessful.
In the end, they could only send Jiajia to the train station.
Li Weihuan never saw Jiajia again.
This parting lasted a surprising ten years! Dear author, would you dare to keep Jiajia more hidden? Author: Yes, I dare! (As soon as the words fall, a slap flies in the air~) Ahem, today is the 7th, the last day for double monthly ticket votes.
