Outside the ward, Qiao Zhenya's imagination ran wild. He turned on the chatterbox mode and said some extremely stupid words, which made Mayor Du so angry that the corner of his mouth kept twitching. He wanted to slap Qiao Zhenya to the wall so that he could not be pulled down.
Qiao Qiao leaned against the wall in a trance without saying a word. No one knew what she was thinking, and she looked like a white lotus that bloomed quietly.
Qiao Zhenya's endless chattering seemed to become more and more unbearable. Mayor Du, who had been worried about personal gains and losses, became more and more gloomy, breathed more and more rapidly, and his chest kept heaving violently …
Xu Minglu carefully took a step back to keep a distance from Qiao Zhenya. He felt that Mayor Du was like a powder keg with suppressed anger that would explode at any time and would explode at any time. Xu Minglu wanted to stay away from Mayor Du so that he would not be splashed with blood.
Speaking of which, he really admired Mayor Du for tolerating him for so long. "No wonder he is a leader. He can even tolerate such a horrible relative. How broad-minded he is! If it were me, I would have drowned this naughty kid in the toilet."
"A leader is a leader because he has the ability that ordinary people can't. It seems that my cultivation is still too shallow and I need to continue to practice." Xu Minglu sighed with emotion silently, looking for the gap between him and the leader and summarizing his shortcomings.
"Alright, are you done yet?"
Qiao Qiao, who had finally returned from her daydream, found that her uncle was about to explode, and hurriedly scolded her troublesome brother.
Qiao Zhenya's chattering stopped abruptly, and he looked at his sister with hidden bitterness. Then he looked at his sister twice, thrice …
In the end, she was defeated by her sister's expressionless and ferocious gaze. She pursed her lips and tiptoed to draw circles on the ground like a bullied daughter-in-law. Circle after circle …
Xu Minglu and Mayor Du breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The flies were gone, and the world was finally quiet. It seemed that even the air became fresh, and the sun became much brighter.
Qiao Qiao's face was full of helplessness. This younger brother of hers was good at everything, but he was naturally hyperactive and overly energetic. Since young, apart from sleeping, he had never been idle. He would toss and turn again and again, and that pair of problematic hands of his had caused a lot of trouble for the family.
In the end, there was no other way. Even his grandmother, who loved him the most, couldn't stand this troublemaker anymore. She sent him to the track and field team as an athlete to burn off his excess energy.
"Sis, is your classmate reliable? Can he really cure Aunt? "
Qiao Zhenya, who had been quiet for less than a minute, pretended to be serious and asked.
"En!"
"What do you mean by hmm? Is he reliable or unreliable? "
"En!"
"Sis, is it really okay for you to brush me off like this? Why don't you tell your classmate to quit being a doctor and become an athlete with me? "
"En!"
"Ah, sister, you agree?"
"En!"
"Great, it's a deal then. You can't go back on your word."
"En!"
"Yay! I know you treat me the best! "
"Hmm … What did you just say?"
"You … I'm going to ignore you!"
"Oh!"
"Boohoo … I'm going to tell Grandma that you bullied me."
"Okay!"
…
Xu Minglu looked at the sister and brother, who were asking and answering, and he admired Siqiao, who had been calm all the time. "Look, she is a master who can deal with Tang Monk."
"Creak!"
An inaudible sound came from the door, and everyone looked at Ding Ning, who walked out with a slightly tired face.
Mayor Du's heart instantly jumped to his throat. He went up and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Doctor Ding, how is it?"
A smile appeared on Ding Ning's serious face, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Fortunately, I didn't fail you!"
"What you said … is true? Xinyu, she … she woke up? "
Although Mayor Du was calm, he couldn't restrain his excitement at this moment, and his voice was choked with sobs.
"Yes, she woke up, but she has been lying in bed for more than two years. Her muscles have shrunk a little, and she can't get up and move for the time being. I've given her acupuncture treatment, and I'll find someone to massage her these days to stimulate her muscle tissue to recover by itself. She will be back to normal in less than half a month. She should have a light diet and avoid spicy and greasy food."
Ding Ning said in a flat tone, "You can go in to see her now."
"Thank you, thank you!"
Mayor Du was so excited that he choked with sobs, and his eyes turned red. He thanked Ding Ning repeatedly, but he couldn't help rushing into the ward.
"Xinyu!"
With Mayor Du's affectionate and trembling voice, two suppressed sobs came from the ward, which should be the couple hugging each other and crying bitterly after reuniting.
Siqiao and her brother, who were about to follow them in, wisely stopped. At this time, even Qiao Zhenya, a brainless brat, knew that it was not appropriate to disturb the couple's world.
Qiao Zhenya looked Ding Ning up and down as if he was an alien, and he looked like a curious baby. "Dude, you really woke my aunt up. You're so awesome!"
Then he was a little depressed, and he gritted his teeth with a struggling look. "But I still think you are more suitable to be an athlete. How about you beg me to be an athlete, and then I'll reluctantly refuse you? In this way, I'll feel better."
Ding Ning speechlessly looked at this guy who was stupid, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"Ah … What are you doing? Let go of me, or I'll scream that you're molesting me … "
Qiao Zhenya yelled and struggled desperately to get rid of Ding Ning's iron-like grip, but it was in vain.
Siqiao thought of something, and she nervously looked at Ding Ning's gradually serious face and asked, "How is he? He has been like this since he was a child, and the doctor diagnosed him with ADHD. "
"It's not ADHD. Is he usually restless even when he sleeps? It's like he has no place to vent all his energy. "
Ding Ning frowned. ADHD was a symptom of impulsiveness, excessive activity, inattention, and so on.
But Qiao Zhenya was obviously not like this. He was always restless and had a strong desire to show off. Even when he was talking, he would gesticulate. Those who didn't know him might think that he was a speaker, and gesticulating was to enhance the impact of his words. But in fact, he spoke without any rhyme or reason, and his thoughts were unorganized. Only when he was particularly interested in something, such as being an athlete, would he become more focused.
Siqiao was shocked and asked nervously, "Yes, is there a problem?"
"Of course there is a problem. This is not a normal phenomenon. He doesn't have excess energy, but he is consuming his vitality. This case is extremely rare, and there is only one case in the world that has been recorded. It is called overdraft cell aging, and the patient only lived to the age of 25."
Ding Ning said very seriously. Through examination, he found that the excess energy in Qiao Zhenya's body was not because of his special physique, but because he was constantly burning his vitality.
Qiao Zhenya was only 18 or 19 years old, and his appearance was consistent with his age, but his internal organs had obviously shown signs of aging. If it went on like this, he might not have many years to live.
"What do you mean?"
Siqiao subconsciously grasped Ding Ning's hand and asked.
"I mean, since he has these symptoms, he has been constantly overdrafting his vitality. His metabolism is five to ten times that of ordinary people. You should understand what it means."
When it came to business, Ding Ning looked more serious than ever.
"Ah! You mean Zhenya … "
Siqiao's face turned pale, and she covered her mouth in disbelief. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Qiao Zhenya, who was still struggling and didn't pay attention to what they were talking about.
"Yes!"
Ding Ning nodded with a solemn face. He knew that Siqiao had understood what he meant.
"Is there any way?"
Siqiao took a few deep breaths, forced herself to calm down, and looked at Ding Ning expectantly.
After a long silence, Ding Ning shook his head slowly. Siqiao felt as if she had fallen into an ice valley. With a pale face, she grasped Ding Ning's arm and begged, "Since you can see his illness, you must be able to find a way, right? Can you help him?"
Ding Ning let go of Qiao Zhenya's hand and took a deep look at Siqiao. "I haven't found a way for now. This kind of case is too rare. Let me think about it carefully."
"You must save him. He is my only brother. I beg you."
In Ding Ning's memory, Bai Qinglian, who had never bowed to anyone, said the word "beg" for the first time, which made his heart ache. He said solemnly, "I will try my best, but …"
"But what?"
Siqiao asked eagerly.
"You'd better tell your family first. His illness can't be cured overnight. I will find a way to delay the consumption of his vitality and win enough time to find a way."
Ding Ning frowned tightly and kept thinking about how to treat it. This kind of illness was too tricky.
Siqiao let go of Ding Ning's arm in a daze, and her pure and flawless eyes were full of misery. She bit her lips and nodded, saying, "I will tell my family."
"Then call me after you have done the ideological work for your family. I don't want to be regarded as a liar. If your family doesn't believe me, I suggest you take him to the hospital as soon as possible to have a check-up. His organs have shown a slight aging trend, and I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left."
Ding Ning said with a little self-mockery. Although he had misunderstood that Siqiao was a rich man, what Siqiao's father said at that time was too mean.
That lofty and arrogant face was like a knife stabbing into his chest, causing him extreme pain. It was his nightmare for so many years.
As a doctor, he would try his best to cure Qiao Zhenya, but it didn't mean that he would easily forgive that old man.
He wanted to see if the arrogant old man would lower his head for the sake of his son's life. He had never been a magnanimous man.
Siqiao was a very smart girl. Although her heart was in a mess, she still heard the faint sarcasm in Ding Ning's words. She sighed in her heart. "Fate turns round and round, and finally falls into my hands."
She didn't like her father's attitude at that time, but she didn't dare to speak for Ding Ning. She knew her father's overbearing temper too well.
She believed that as long as she showed a little intention to protect him or liked him, Ding Ning would inevitably suffer from her father's relentless and crazy attacks to cut off his wishful thinking.
But now, she had to give Ding Ning an explanation. She slightly lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry at that time. I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's my family's tradition to pretend to be a poor child to experience life. It teaches us not to be extravagant and to understand the difficulties of life. Except for Zhenya's special situation, all the juniors in our family have lived like this."
"Then is your name Siqiao or Bai Qinglian?"
