Actually, after leaving the ward, Zhai Cheng didn't leave the hospital immediately. Instead, he went to find Duan Lun. Fortunately, Duan Lun was still in his office.
If it weren't for his father's illness, Zhai Cheng would never have taken the initiative to find Duan Lun. After all, the latter was his love rival.
Duan Lun looked at the person who appeared in his office with a cold face. "What do you want?"
Zhai Cheng sat down in the seat opposite him. "Is there really no way at all to cure my father's illness?"
Duan Lun tapped the table with one hand. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "As I said before, the risk is very high."
"Tell me specifically."
Duan Lun suddenly felt a bit annoyed at Zhai Cheng's tone! But he was a doctor, and he still had this professional integrity. "We need to extract your stem cells and bone marrow, and it may take many times."
Zhai Cheng frowned but didn't think it was a big deal. "What are the sequelae?"
Duan Lun sighed. "It may damage your lifespan."
The calm look on Zhai Cheng's face cracked a bit. His lifespan was now linked to Song Ge's. If his lifespan decreased, it would mean Song Ge's lifespan would also decrease.
Seeing Zhai Cheng in a daze, Duan Lun thought he didn't want to damage his own lifespan. He sneered. "If there's nothing else, please leave. I'm busy."
Zhai Cheng nodded absent - mindedly and left the ward.
If it were only about his own lifespan, he wouldn't have minded. But since this matter involved Song Ge, he couldn't be so selfish and make a decision.
In the villa, Song Ge had already washed up and was sitting on the bed. But she waited and waited, and Zhai Cheng didn't come back. She was a bit worried, so she called him, only to find his phone was turned off. This made her even more worried.
She put on a coat and went downstairs. Aunt Chen was still in the living room. Seeing her come down, she asked, "Miss Song, do you need anything?"
"I see Zhai Cheng hasn't come back yet. I want to come down and wait for him."
Aunt Chen smiled. "He must have been delayed by something."
"Yeah." Song Ge sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, but she was absent - minded. She didn't even know what was on TV. Her hand unconsciously picked up chips and threw them into her mouth.
After Aunt Chen finished tidying up, she saw Song Ge still waiting in the living room. She sighed and went back to her room.
The lights in the living room were all turned off, and only the lamp next to the TV was still on. Song Ge stared blankly at the TV, not knowing what was going on in her mind.
Zhai Cheng pushed the door open and came in. He skillfully took off his coat. Only then did he notice that the TV in the living room was still on. He subconsciously lightened his steps and walked over.
Sure enough, just as he thought, Song Ge was sleeping on the sofa.
Under the dim light, Zhai Cheng gently touched Song Ge's face. He felt so heart - broken. It seemed that since she was with him, she had never really enjoyed herself.
Feeling the coolness on her face, Song Ge moved and opened her eyes. Seeing it was Zhai Cheng, she pulled his hand and sat up. "You're back."
"Why didn't you sleep in the room?"
"I was waiting for you."
Zhai Cheng picked up Song Ge in his arms. He scolded her a bit. "Don't do this next time."
"Okay." Song Ge lay on Zhai Cheng's chest, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Zhai Cheng put Song Ge on the bed and covered her with the quilt. Then he went into the bathroom to wash up. Duan Lun's words kept circling in his mind. How could he bring this up to Song Ge?
After washing up, Zhai Cheng came out. Song Ge wasn't asleep yet. Seeing him come out, she smiled and patted the position beside her.
Zhai Cheng also gave a faint smile, walked over and lay down.
Song Ge reached out and hugged him. She always felt that he was acting weird tonight. "Did you go to see Uncle?"
"Yeah." The voice came from his chest.
Zhai Cheng stroked Song Ge's head with one hand and ruffled her hair. "Song Ge, if..."
He didn't continue.
Hearing the voice stop, Song Ge felt confused. She looked up at Zhai Cheng. "Why did you stop talking?"
Zhai Cheng shook his head. "It's nothing."
Song Ge propped herself up and sat upright, looking serious. "Are you hiding something from me?"
"Of course not." After saying that, Zhai Cheng directly hugged Song Ge and lay down. He turned off the light. The room was plunged into darkness, and he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
The next day, Zhai Cheng went to work as usual. After Song Ge woke up, she washed up and had breakfast as normal.
In the middle, she received a call from Wu Yilan, asking her to go to their regular coffee shop right away. Before Song Ge could even ask what it was about, Wu Yilan had already hung up the phone.
Song Ge had no choice but to change her clothes and go out. When she arrived at the coffee shop, Wu Yilan was already waiting at the door.
"What's up?"
"My mom arranged a blind date for me." Wu Yilan looked aggrieved.
"Then why did you call me here?" Song Ge looked puzzled.
Wu Yilan gave a sly smile. "I told that guy he could bring a friend with him."
Song Ge understood what Wu Yilan meant. "If Zhai Cheng knows about this, he definitely won't let me off."
"Don't worry. He won't know. Are we still good sisters? You won't even help me with such a small thing." Wu Yilan pretended to be angry.
Song Ge was also very helpless. After hesitating, she had to nod. "Just this once."
"Okay."
Wu Yilan pulled Song Ge into the coffee shop. The two men were already waiting.
Wu Yilan pulled Song Ge to sit down.
The man opposite Wu Yilan wore glasses. He looked honest and was obviously a nerd. The man opposite Song Ge had a crew cut and looked quite good - looking.
"Hello. May I ask who is Wu Yilan?"
Wu Yilan pointed at her own face. "I am." Then she pulled Song Ge. "This is my friend, Song Ge."
Song Ge just nodded with a smile. Anyway, she was just there as a foil.
During the conversation, Wu Yilan chatted with that guy for a few words and then stopped. But the man opposite Song Ge seemed very interested in her. He asked her all kinds of questions, and Song Ge just gave perfunctory answers.
"I'll go to the restroom." Song Ge picked up her bag and got up to leave.
That man asked Wu Yilan, "Does she have a boyfriend?"
Wu Yilan subconsciously thought that if they knew she had a boyfriend, they would definitely be angry. So, she blurted out, "No."
In the restroom, Song Ge was washing her hands. Looking at herself in the mirror, she didn't understand what she was doing. Suddenly, the phone in her bag rang. She answered the call, and her face became worse and worse.
After hanging up the phone, she went out.
"Yilan, I have something to do. I have to leave first."
Seeing Song Ge looking so anxious, Wu Yilan knew there must be an urgent matter. "Okay. I'll go with you."
The guy who had been chatting with Song Ge offered, "I'll take you there."
Song Ge subconsciously refused. "No, thanks. We can take a taxi by ourselves." Then she pulled Wu Yilan out.
After going out, Song Ge separated from Wu Yilan. She took a taxi to Zhai Cheng's company.
