The next morning, Bai Ziheng, sporting dark circles under his eyes, went straight to the city's largest hospital.
The absurd events of last night were still replaying in his mind.
He was forcibly kissed by a demon, jumped off the 21st floor, tore monsters apart with his bare hands, and swallowed crystals...
And that thing's antics of trying to sneak into his bed multiple times in the middle of the night.
Why would I be attacked by a woman at night?
He took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the medical examination department.
"I'd like to have another checkup."
Two hours later, Bai Ziheng sat in the chief physician's office.
"Mr. Bai... Mr. Bai."
The doctor swallowed.
"Your CT scan last month showed a malignant tumor in your lung with irregular margins, typical of mid-to-late stage lung cancer."
"But today's scan..."
He pointed at the film, his fingers trembling.
"The lung lobes are smooth, without a single mark! This is impossible!"
Bai Ziheng remained calm inside, but feigned confusion on the surface.
"Really? Then was it a misdiagnosis?"
"It's not certain yet, you need to check again! Every part of your body, every inch, must be checked!"
So Bai Ziheng was forced to sit in a wheelchair at the hospital and underwent another four hours of examinations.
Blood tests, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, and even digital rectal examinations.
When he returned to the doctor's office, feeling a chill in his backside, the doctor was holding a new report.
The expression on his face was as if he had seen Jesus appear.
"Mr. Bai, all your indicators are normal."
Your anal sphincter is a little loose, but your internal hemorrhoids are growing very well, which compensates for this. Keep it in mind.
Bai Ziheng looked at him speechlessly, his lips twitching.
"Doctor, are you complimenting me?"
I guess so.
The doctor coughed awkwardly.
"You don't need to worry, it was probably a misdiagnosis before."
"Congratulations, Mr. Bai, you don't have cancer! Your life has been brilliant and fulfilling!"
...
...
Once home and with the door closed, the first thing Bai Ziheng did was take out his cigarette case from his pocket.
He shook one out and put it in his mouth.
The smoke slowly entered my lungs; I didn't cough or feel any pain.
The only comfort it brings is nicotine.
He exhaled a smoke ring and muttered to himself.
"Looks like he's a kind-hearted devil after all, he wasn't lying to me."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a face suddenly appeared upside down in front of him.
Luo Yao hung upside down from the living room chandelier, her golden vertical pupils gleaming with a cunning light.
"Of course, the devil doesn't lie."
Bai Ziheng didn't even lift his eyelids, staring at her with a dead fish-like expression, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
"oh."
Luo Yao blinked and tilted her head.
"How come you're not scared at all?"
"Sorry, I'm not naturally afraid of things that suddenly appear in my face."
Bai Ziheng slowly flicked the ash from his cigarette.
"But what are you doing hanging on my chandelier?"
"Go to sleep."
Luo Yao said matter-of-factly, and even swayed her body, causing the chandelier to creak.
"It's cool on the chandelier, and you can even swing on it."
Bai Ziheng was so angry he laughed.
After having a late-night snack last night, this woman started clinging to him.
However, since the other person had saved his life, Bai Ziheng didn't want to dwell on it too much.
He stubbed out his cigarette and turned to walk towards the bedroom.
"I'm telling you, don't even think about sneaking into my bed again, not a chance!"
Luo Yao flipped over and jumped off the chandelier, landing lightly in front of Bai Ziheng with a mischievous grin.
She was still wearing Bai Ziheng's white shirt, and her fair skin was exposed due to the large movements she made.
"Hey buddy, do you have a girlfriend?"
Bai Ziheng paused for a moment, then looked away.
"no."
"Then why won't you let me sleep with you?"
Luo Yao blinked her big eyes and took a step closer.
"I'm so cute, and I even saved you, how can you be so heartless?"
Bai Ziheng rolled his eyes.
"First, you're a devil. Second, your sleeping posture is really terrible; you drooled all over my pillow."
Luo Yao pouted and muttered, "Humans are so hard to please."
Then, with a leap, he hung back onto the chandelier.
She hung upside down with her eyes closed, and still managed to utter a sentence.
"Goodnight, buddy. Remember to buy me a strawberry cake tomorrow!"
She even winked at Bai Ziheng.
She's cute, but just thinking about her appetite and her unpredictable personality makes me wonder.
Bai Ziheng felt a headache coming on.
...
...
In a private room of a high-end restaurant, candlelight flickered and the aroma of red wine filled the air.
Bai Ziheng's ex-girlfriend, Zhang Ling, was sitting opposite a man in a suit with a radiant smile.
She looked radiant, showing no sign of disappointment after the breakup.
"Honey, I've completely broken up with him."
Lingling picked up her glass of red wine, took a small sip, and spoke with barely suppressed excitement.
"You didn't see how pathetic he was. When I said we should break up, he didn't even utter a word, just obediently paid for his coffee and left. He's such a loser."
The man opposite her smiled slightly, reached out and took her hand, his thumb gently stroking the back of her fingers.
"Lingling, you did the right thing. That kind of man doesn't deserve you."
Zhang Ling pouted coquettishly.
"Of course! Thank goodness for you, darling, you showed me that love can be so romantic... Ugh, every day I'm with him is disgusting."
The man suddenly stopped smiling, and his expression became somewhat serious.
He put down his wine glass and remained silent for a moment.
"Lingling".
He lowered his voice.
"You shouldn't have broken up with him now."
Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face froze.
"Why? Didn't you say that once I broke up with my boyfriend, we could officially be together? Could it be... you've changed your mind?"
"Of course not."
The man shook his head, pulled a piece of paper from his suit pocket, and pushed it in front of her.
"Take a look at this first."
Zhang Ling took the paper with a puzzled look, and when she looked down, she saw that it was a hospital diagnosis report.
The name written above was clearly: Bai Ziheng.
Diagnosis: Late-stage lung cancer, estimated survival time is no more than three months.
Her pupils contracted sharply, and her lips parted slightly, but she only paused for two or three seconds before her expression returned to calm.
Even the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
"He...has cancer?"
She looked up, her eyes showing no pity, but rather a glint of light.
"right."
The man nodded.
"Furthermore, I found out that he bought a high-value personal accident and critical illness insurance policy a year ago."
Zhang Ling's eyes lit up instantly, like a gold prospector who had discovered a gold mine.
The man took her hand, his voice becoming gentle and low.
"So, Lingling, you shouldn't break up with him now. You should get him to change the beneficiary name to yours first. After he dies, the insurance money... will naturally be yours."
"But, darling, would you really care about that little bit of money? Your business is so big..."
"No one ever complains about having too much money," the man interrupted Zhang Ling.
"Besides, this money is compensation for you. You dated him for three years, shouldn't you get some breakup fee?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling not only showed no sadness, but instead giggled.
She grasped the man's hand in return, her eyes sparkling, her tone full of adoration and joy.
"Honey, you're so smart! I didn't even think of that! That good-for-nothing would never have imagined that all his hard work buying insurance would end up benefiting me! Hahahaha!"
The man sighed, reached out and gently stroked her cheek, his tone a mixture of doting affection and helplessness.
"So, Lingling, I'm sorry to have put you through this."
"You'll have to stay by that good-for-nothing's side for a while longer, until he settles the beneficiary, until he dies... then we can finally be together."
Zhang Ling picked up her wine glass, her eyes gleaming with greed.
"Okay, I'll do as you say! Anyway, he doesn't have much time left, so I'll put up with him for a few more days!"
The two men clinked glasses, the crisp sound echoing in the candlelight.
