Chapter 53 – Little Red Riding Hood’s Penicillin

When Little Red Riding Hood woke up, it wasn’t even five o’clock in the evening yet. Counting the time, she was in a coma for a little over three hours, not a long time.

    “Wake up?” Brother Wolf, when he saw Little Red Riding Hood open her eyes, leaned down and called out softly.

    “Brother Wolf?” Little Red Riding Hood vaguely recognized Brother Wolf.

    “Yeah.” Brother Wolf nodded, noticed Little Red Riding Hood’s chapped lips, and reached for the glass of water on the table.

    “What time is it?”

    “It’s almost five o’clock, and you’ve been in a coma for a little over three hours.”

    “It’s five o’clock, isn’t the Civil Affairs Bureau going to be close soon?” Little Red Riding Hood sat up from the bed in shock.

    Brother Wolf took the cup in his hand for a while, then thought for a while and asked, “What do you want to do if they don’t get off work?”

    “Of course we’re going to get married.” Little Red Riding Hood said as a matter of course.

    Brother Wolf pursed his lips and put the glass in his hand into Little Red Riding Hood’s hand: “Drink some water.”

    Little Red Riding Hood had slept for a few hours and was parched. After drinking half a glass of water, she hurriedly said: “Then let’s go again tomorrow.”

    “You truly want to marry me?” Brother Wolf raised his eyebrows.

    “Uh… didn’t you say it… yourself?” Little Red Riding Hood suddenly felt as if something was wrong.

    That’s right, isn’t Brother Wolf the one who tries to marry her? Why does she suddenly seem to be the one in hurry to get married?

    “You suddenly fell ill, so how do you feel now?” Brother Wolf did not continue to tease Little Red Riding Hood but ask with concern after looking at Little Red Riding Hood’s still-pale face.

    “I’m alright. I just woke up so I’m just a little hungry.” Little Red Riding Hood said pitifully, covering her stomach.

    “I’ll ask someone to buy you something to eat.” Brother Wolf paused and asked, “What do you want to eat?”

    “Pig liver. Bai Xue said, if you vomit blood, you need to eat more pig liver to make up for it.” Little Red Riding Hood said.

    Bai Xue? Brother Wolf immediately recalled the strange bald woman who was going to eat pig liver after calmly vomiting blood.

    She didn’t fully know if the pig liver can actually help with her condition. But anyway, after Little Red Riding Hood fully ate and drank, her complexion became much better. Her skin was rosy, elastic and shiny, and she couldn’t tell that she was a patient at all.

    “Are you full?” It was the first time Brother Wolf saw a sick person with such a good appetite. She ate the whole two plates of dishes, one soup, and a large bowl of rice.

    “70 or 80% full.” Little Red Riding Hood touched the corner of her mouth contentedly.

    “70 or 80? Then do you want me to ask someone to buy something else for you?”

    “No, Bai Xue said she would come to see me with dessert in a while, and I have to keep my stomach for dessert.” Little Red Riding Hood said.

    “Dessert? It won’t be ice, right? I’ll ask the doctor if you can eat it.” Brother Wolf said, and was about to get up and go out.

    “I can eat, I can eat, I can eat. When I was diagnosed, the doctor said that I can eat whatever I want, and don’t leave any regrets.” As soon as Little Red Riding Hood finished speaking, she knew that she said the wrong thing.

    “Okay, you can eat whatever you want.” Brother Wolf sat back on the chair and said almost indulgently.

    “Brother Wolf…” Little Red Riding Hood looked at Brother Wolf strangely, and said with some uncertainty, “You are… a little strange today.”

    “What’s so strange?”

    “You… seem to be very gentle today.” Little Red Riding Hood said.

    Brother Wolf was stunned.

    “Did you suddenly become gentle because you knew I was about to die, or was it because you liked me that you were gentle with me?” Little Red Riding Hood stared at Brother Wolf with her big shining eyes.

    Brother Wolf took a breath, then stood up in a panic, raised his index finger and stabbed Little Red Riding Hood in the forehead, cursing, “I think you had become stupid after sleeping.”

    “I just woke up, and my head is still dizzy.” Little Red Riding Hood pouted, covering her forehead.

    Brother Wolf stared at Little Red Riding Hood’s red lips, his eyes suddenly darkened.

    As said before, Brother Wolf is a very aim-oriented person. As long as he knows what he wants, he will definitely put it into action at the first time. So he immediately leaned down and, according to his own wishes, ruthlessly captured a piece of tempting fat.

    “Huh??” Little Red Riding Hood suddenly widened her eyes, reacted for about two seconds, then happily closed her eyes and responded actively.

    First kiss, first kiss, you must have no regrets.

    In order not to leave any regrets, Little Red Riding Hood also exhausted all the theoretical knowledge she had learned from reading novels, watching TV, and reading comics in her life, and took the initiative to open her mouth and stick out her tongue to lick Brother Wolf’s lips.

    Brother Wolf stopped abruptly, narrowing his eyes dangerously.

    “No… not kissing?” Little Red Riding Hood asked regretfully, saying that she want to kiss until she suffocate, but her breathing was still quite smooth.

    The fat meat took the initiative to invite himself to eat, how could Brother Wolf be polite, and pressed the person directly back to the bed, sliding his lips and tongues in, so that Little Red Riding Hood completely understood what it means to kiss until suffocate.

    “Ouch, I’ll go!” Bai Xue didn’t expect to see such a censored scene in the hospital ward, so she couldn’t hold back her exit.

    The two confused people separated instantly, Brother Wolf let go of Little Red Riding Hood, looked back at the uninvited guest. The blush on his face had not faded, but he didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

    “I… I’ll go right now.” Bai Xue turned around and left with good common sense.

    Bai Xue naturally did not leave the hospital but waited outside the door for a while. After about two minutes, Brother Wolf calmly walked out of the ward, nodded to Bai Xue, and left.

    Only then did Bai Xue return to the ward with the dessert, looking at a certain woman who was smirking in the hospital bed, without making a sound, she quietly watched someone smirking for five minutes.

    “Hey, why did you eat the dessert that you gave me?” Little Red Riding Hood came back to her senses, seeing Bai Xue sitting next to herself and eating the dessert that should have been given to her, she couldn’t help asking.

    “I think you’ve had enough sweet for today. If you eat desserts again, be careful to get tired of it.” Bai Xue said, and put another spoonful of desserts into her mouth.

    “Yes, hee hee…” Little Red Riding Hood covered her face and smirked again.

    “It was just a kiss but look at your worthless appearance.” Bai Xue said with disgust.

    “Hehe…” Little Red Riding Hood felt that she might be really worthless but she was just very happy anyway at the moment.

    “That was only kissing. What if you go back to bed~~~” Bai Xue said deliberately.

    Going to the bed~~~ Little Red Riding Hood’s face was flushed red, her eyes were shining, and Brother Wolf’s sturdy figure, slender arms, flexible and powerful waist and abdomen, and that…

    “Here!” Bai Xue handed over two tissues in disgust.

    “Why… why?” Little Red Riding Hood, who suddenly woke up, looked at the tissue in front of him suspiciously.

    “Wipe the nosebleed.”

    “Blood? Did I get sick again? Why do I get sick so often?” Little Red Riding Hood asked anxiously, looking at the red nosebleed on the tissue.

    “You are not sick, you are mad.” Bai Xue concluded.

    “Oh, I hate it.”

    Bai Xue was disgusted along with goosebumps: “Hurry up and get back to normal, or be careful I will break up with you.”

    Little Red Riding Hood smiled awkwardly, wiped her nosebleed, and drank two more glasses of cold water to calm herself down.

    “Will you go back with me after this?” Bai Xue asked.

    “No, Brother Wolf just went home to change his clothes, and he will come over in a while. I guess I stay in the hospital tonight.” Little Red Riding Hood said.

    “Then what are your plans for the future?” Bai Xue asked.

    “Brother Wolf didn’t say anything and I didn’t ask him. I always think it’s very damaging to mention this kind of thing at such a time.” Little Red Riding Hood knew that she was deceiving herself, but nothing would change if their relationship spread, wouldn’t it? In that case, it’s as if nothing happened.

    “It’s a happy and sad day. But that’s okay.” Bai Xue nodded with deep understanding.

    “But I still want to give Brother Wolf some information so that he doesn’t have to worry so much.” Little Red Riding Hood looked at Bai Xue after finishing speaking.

    “You want to use me as proof that you won’t die in a while?” Bai Xue has always been smart, and she saw through Little Red Riding Hood’s thoughts at a glance.

    “Well.” Little Red Riding Hood said, “If I told Brother Wolf that I could live a year or more, Brother Wolf would have thought I was comforting him, but you are different. You were diagnosed three years ago and supposedly can only live for half a year, but you are still alive and well, so you are the best proof.”

    “It seems that you are determined to be with Brother Wolf.”

    “I want him to understand.” Little Red Riding Hood smiled as if she had an epiphany. “People like us earn our days by others keep on living, so we shouldn’t have too many entanglements with ordinary people. But Brother Wolf and I are already like this. Even if I refuse and escape now, it won’t change my relationship with Brother Wolf and the damage it can cause.”

  “Since the damage has already occurred, why not be free and just live with it. Do my best when I can still do something for him. If he wants to like me, then I will also like him. If he thinks we should get married, then we will get married, and I will give him everything he wants. In this way, both of us can have no regrets. Otherwise, when we recall our memories together, there will only be painful memories between the two of us. I do not like that to happen.”

    Hearing Little Red Riding Hood’s thoughts, Bai Xue’s heart suddenly became mixed. Little Red Riding Hood’s struggle with her heart was the same as Bai Xue’s three years ago, but she made a decision that was decided differently from that of Little Red Riding Hood. She still doesn’t know whether her decision is right or not, but she hopes that Little Red Riding Hood can be luckier than herself.

    “Okay, when your Brother Wolf comes back, I’ll tell him.” Bai Xue nodded and smiled.

    “Thank you, Bai Xue.” Little Red Riding Hood rushed over and hugged Bai Xue excitedly.

    Little Red Riding Hood didn’t know how long she could live, or how long Brother Wolf could love her. If Brother Wolf’s love is longer than her life, then it is her luck. If her life is longer than Brother Wolf’s love for her, it is also her luck.

    Bai Xue stayed in the hospital until Brother Wolf came back, then got up and left.

    “Mr. Lang, can you see me off?” Bai Xue winked at Brother Wolf who had just come in.

    Brother Wolf raised his eyebrows, turned around and followed Bai Xue out.

    “Do you have something to tell me?” Brother Wolf asked directly as soon as he left the ward.

    “Please do me a favour.” Bai Xue smiled.

    “What’s the matter?”

    “I was also hospitalized here a few days ago. Little Red Riding Hood said that you are very familiar with the dean here. Can you help me find my attending doctor at the time? I want to ask about my condition.” Bai Xue said.

    “Okay, I’ll make a call.” Brother Wolf said and called Fan Ti on the spot.

    “Actually, it’s been a long time since I came to the hospital to check on my body.” Bai Xue waited for Brother Wolf to hang up the phone before she said unintentionally, “The doctor told me three years ago that I probably won’t live for half a year, and then I’ll never live again. I didn’t go to the hospital so I don’t know what the doctor will say this time.”

    Brother Wold, who was still a little absent-minded, suddenly changed his expression after listening to Bai Xue’s words. This news make him wait until Fan Ti came over immediately. He didn’t leave but instead followed Bai Xue to listen to the diagnosis of the attending doctor.

    “Ms. Bai Xue, I’m sorry to tell you that with your current physical condition, you only have half a year’s lifespan at most.” The attending doctor announced quite heavily.

    “Half a year.” Bai Xue didn’t see a trace of sadness, “I see, thank you, doctor.”

    With her goal achieved, Bai Xue waved her hand and left the hospital happily.

    “What a beautiful girl. Young, beautiful, optimistic and cheerful, how could she have this kind of disease?” Fan Ti was used to seeing life and death, and he couldn’t help sighing at this time.

    “Do you know?” Brother Wolf turned his head to stare at Fan Ti, and said very seriously, “She told me just now that three years ago, the doctor decided that she could only live another half a year.”

    “You mean…” Fan Ti pointed to the direction Bai Xue left and asked in disbelief, “She has not deteriorated in the past three years?”

    “If she can live for three years, then Little Red Riding Hood must be able to, or even longer.”

    “Hui Lang, I appreciate your optimism very much, but this kind of thing…”

    “Didn’t you say that there are many cases in the medical field when a doctor declared that there is no cure but the patient himself miraculously survived and even recovered?” Brother Wolf asked.

    “Yes, but the chance of this kind of thing is one in ten million.” Fan Ti said, “The probability of recovery is one in ten million.”

    “I didn’t expect Little Red Riding Hood to be cured without medicine, but I always I want to try it.” Brother Wolf said, “Pulmonary tuberculosis was also a terminal disease before penicillin was invented. Fanti, I want to find the penicillin for Little Red Riding Hood to cure her.”

    “Do you know how many people in the world are researching drugs to cure ten terminal diseases? Do you know that there is still no progress so far?” Fan Ti reminded.

    “Then I will invest in research myself.” Brother Wolf said domineeringly.

    “…” Anyway, you do have the money, so you can do whatever you want.
