Half past four in the afternoon.

Zhou Shen didn't know how he walked out of the infectious disease clinic.

I left the hospital in despair, and walked on the street in despair, with no destination, no direction, and no idea how far I had walked. Finally, I sat down by a small lake in a deserted park.

The evening sun shines on the lake, and the water sparkles like fish scales. The breeze blows, causing ripples in the lake.

Zhou Shen covered his face with his hands and lay on his knees, with a heart-rending sob coming from his chest, like a wounded beast.

He has obviously worked so hard to live, why would God treat him so cruelly?

It's been a long, long time...

Until the voice of a passerby brought him back to reality.

Zhou Shen took the tissue and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, choking and saying, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!" The guy in the courier uniform comforted him: "Brother, be strong, there's no obstacle you can't overcome."

After saying that, the little brother rode away on his electric bike.

"But it's really hard to get through this time..."

Zhou Shen murmured with red eyes and looked at the time. It was already past five o'clock and almost six o'clock.

I got up and went to a nearby restaurant that looked very high-end.

He hasn't eaten anything since last night!

Ordered a table of dishes.

Zhou Shen's parents died unexpectedly when he was very young. It was his grandparents who raised him. His grandfather also passed away due to illness when he graduated from college. Now there is only one grandma left in his hometown.

Over the years, he has been very frugal, reluctant to give up food or clothing, just to save more money to buy a house in his hometown county or city to get married, and to fulfill his grandma's wish to have a grandson.

But I never thought...

The delicious, tasty and delicious dishes were served quickly, but in the end Zhou Shen still couldn't eat them.

Put down your chopsticks, stand up, pay and leave.

…

Returning to the rental house in the evening, Zhou Shen endured grief and broke up with his girlfriend Zhang Zihan.

When Zhang Zihan questioned him, he originally planned to conceal it, but finally told the truth.

Zhang Zihan was stunned for a long time while holding a thick stack of report sheets, and then tears fell heavily, and he lay on the bed and cried bitterly.

They had originally planned to get the certificate at the end of this year and hold a wedding on May Day next year!

But the sudden bad news disrupted all plans.

Zhang Zihan was heartbroken, but in the end he had to face reality.

It is often reported in the news that a girl is suffering from cancer, and her boyfriend insists on holding a wedding. There are also stories about a girl whose boyfriend is suffering from malignant tumors, and she puts on a wedding dress and marries him.

But the reason why news is news is because this situation is relatively rare. In reality, most of them end in breakup.

After Zhang Zihan cried bitterly, he finally chose to leave.

She ignored her parents' obstruction and decided to get married to Zhou Shen. She had exhausted all her courage. She really didn't have the courage to put on a wedding dress and marry a terminally ill cancer patient.

Zhang Zihan carried her suitcase and stayed at a colleague's house for one night. Before leaving, she cried and transferred 50,000 yuan to Zhou Shen.

Zhou Shen didn't want it, and Zhang Zihan almost knelt down to beg him, but he finally accepted it.

Zhou Shen stood in front of the window, watching Zhang Zihan take a taxi online and leave, his heart was pounding and tears were streaming down his face.

…

At night, Zhou Shen had nightmares one after another, all kinds of strange things.

When I woke up, I found that my body was soaked with sweat.

Looking at the time, it was only four o'clock in the morning. He couldn't sleep, so he lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, thinking wildly in his mind.

I was thinking about how to tell my grandma about my condition when I go back.

After a while, I thought about how grandma would be unable to walk in the future. Who would take care of her daily life?

Thinking about how grandma had endured all these years of hard work, but finally had to give away the white-haired one to the black-haired one, he couldn't help but feel his heart twisting. He turned around and covered his face on the pillow, and the pillow towel was soaked with tears again.

The sky outside the window gradually became brighter.

Zhou Shen got up, packed up, took his suitcase and went downstairs to have breakfast.

I didn't eat all day yesterday, so I just drank some water. Now I have no strength at all, and the pain in my liver area has become very obvious, like a needle pricking me. I feel like I have become terminally ill overnight.

Zhou Shen pressed his hand on the liver area of ​​his right abdomen to relieve pain.

"If I hadn't checked yesterday, wouldn't it be like this?"

In fact, before yesterday's physical examination, except for the occasional dull pain in his liver area, he had no other obvious signs. Now that his energy and energy are gone, it seems that cancer cells have begun to take advantage of the situation.

Passing by the chain bun shop at the entrance of the community, there was a long queue at the door.

In the past, he would queue up here to buy a few large, white steamed buns, and a bag of flavored breakfast milk containing more than a dozen additives, and then rush to the company by subway.

Now that he is about to die, he no longer wants to eat such high-tech steamed buns or drink those flavored drinks with no nutritional value at all.

Dragging heavy steps, I arrived at a noodle shop not far away.

“Boss, let’s have a bowl of duck leg noodles and two braised eggs!”

"Okay, wait a moment!"

Zhou Shen found a seat and sat down.

While waiting for the noodles, he looked at the faces in the noodle shop that were chatting and laughing, or silent, or engrossed in eating noodles, but he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Perhaps each of them has troubles of one kind or another, but at least they can still be alive, unlike me who are about to die."

"Now that I think about it, what does a house mean? If no one wants to marry me, I can just be single. What's the big deal? Why should I work hard all my life for a reinforced concrete structure?"

"Grandma has always wanted a great-grandson. In the final analysis, she just wanted someone to accompany her. Why didn't I bring her to my side earlier? Instead, I allowed her to leave her in my hometown for so many years on the pretext that she was not used to life in a big city.

?”

"Why the hell have I not figured this out until now..."

Zhou Shen thought of many things in his mind.

His train of thought was interrupted only when the waiter came with noodles and duck meat.

He chewed slowly and carefully. Director Zhang Yuqing told him yesterday that late-stage liver cancer will have many complications, the most important of which is diet.

Because his liver function is severely damaged, he will develop cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and obvious esophageal and gastric varices. If they rupture, they will cause massive vomiting of blood.

In addition, toxic substances in food cannot be metabolized by the liver and will enter the brain and cause hepatic coma.

Let him be careful.

When he was halfway through eating the noodles, Zhou Shen suddenly thought of something. He looked at it carefully, and the group of red numbers appeared in front of him again.

But today’s number changed from [88] to [87].

"What does this number represent? Does it mean...that I have 87 days left to live?"

"If it is true, where did you get it? What is it?"

"Is it alien life? Is it a special function? Or is it a legendary plug-in? Then can it cure my disease..."

As Zhou Shen thought about it, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

At this moment, he was like a drowning man, desperately trying to grab any life-saving straw.

"Come out quickly!"

Zhou Shen kept shouting in his heart.

The next second, a scene suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

Name: Zhou Shen

[Life: 87 days (normal life span, excluding premature death caused by accidental injuries)]

[Energy: 5.2 (Yuan Qi, related to thinking, consciousness, and emotion. Note: It is 10 points for normal people and will not be displayed later)]

[Exercise: None]

[Skill: None]

[Attribute points: 0]

When he saw the scene in front of him, he stood up suddenly, and the chairs behind him were knocked over and hit the artificial marble floor with a loud "pong" sound.

Everyone in the noodle shop was startled and looked at him one after another.

"It's okay, it's okay! The chair fell over."

The waiter calmed the customers in the store and walked over quickly to hold up the chairs.
