Chapter 4 Chapter Four

Time passed slowly, and the operation took quite a while. Finally, the doctor Rong appeared. He simply said, "The operation was a success." Xu Hongmei was delighted. Dr. Rong said conceitedly, "As a student of the Manle Institute, such achievements are nothing short of trivial." Seeking the truth, "Ah"! The people of the Manler Institute! No wonder there is such a method, but, how could the disciples of the Manle Institute be wandering outside? Only the deep-eyed and eagle-nosed Doctor Rong said: "The patient is staying in the hospital for observation, please go back and rest."

"Can I have a look at him?" "He's in the same physical condition as he was before the operation." The nurse pushed the patient in gently. The patient had woken up and moaned softly, "It's cold, it hurts, what's the matter, Hongmei, where are Hongmei?" He was still an old man, with the forebrain apparently cut and stitched. Doctor Rong said to Xu Hongmei: "We have adjusted the pituitary gland. From this moment on, the relevant endocrine will produce a large amount of youth hormones. Within 36 hours, it will automatically stop and return to normal. Congratulations, Mrs. Lie, you wish has been fulfilled."

Xu Hongmei wept with joy. Seeking truth from the sidelines, very emotional. Since ancient times, there is no such thing as the wish of the sky, everything is wishful thinking of human beings, and they only hope for a full moon all day long. "I'd like to be by my side." "He still has a series of injections, you'd better go back." "Yes." Xu Hongmei turned and left. "Mrs. Lie." "Ah, yes!" Xu Hongmei remembered, opened her handbag, took out a cashier's check and handed it over. Doctor Rong put the promissory note in his pocket with satisfaction.

Qiuzhen suddenly reprimanded subjectively and prejudiced: "Scum." As soon as he said it, Qiuzhen himself was surprised. Doctors are human beings, so why not charge a fee to treat patients? Why are they so pedantic that they think they should treat the world for free? Besides, for the Lieshi family, nine digits and ten digits are not easy at all. Is it because he's from the Manle Institute? Oh, because the original doctor never charged fees. Xu Hongmei went back to her apartment. I saw her take out the most gorgeous gauze dress from the wardrobe, paired with sparkling gemstone jewelry.

"Ah," she said, "Cave, you're out of your wheelchair for good, and we can go dancing." Her joyful expression, like a young girl, was spinning in the bedroom. Finally, she was tired, hugged the dance clothes, fell on the bed, and fell asleep. Qiuzhen watched with a straight face. She herself has experienced many ups and downs. Life experience tells her that the ideal life is always difficult to achieve. No matter how hard the person pursues, there are always more than eight or nine unsatisfactory things in life. After Xu Hongmei woke up from this sleep, she should understand.

Qiuzhen thought that the phone would ring and that Mr. Guo's opinion would arrive at any time, but this time he was rarely silent. Qiuzhen turned volume 2 over and continued to look at the other side. Xu Hongmei negotiated with Dr. Rong in the clinic with a pale face. "I don't understand what's wrong with your operation?" Doctor Rong's complexion was even worse, with a depressed expression, like a defeated rooster. There was a huge difference from the previous scene's high-spirited and high-spirited posture. He lowered his head and clenched his fists, "Mrs. Lie, I admit my mistake." Saying this sentence, to him, is more painful than death, but to Xu Hongmei, it is not enough to confess.

"What's wrong?" Doctor Rong murmured, "I thought I controlled the endocrine." Xu Hongmei's voice became high-pitched, "What did you do to him? Where is he? Let me see him!" "He's fine, fit and developing normally." Xu Hongmei was still worried, "I must see him immediately." "I would like to refund the consultation fee." Xu Hongmei pushed Dr. Rong away with a palm, "I don't know what you are talking about, take me to see Jiahui, hurry up!" "Mrs. Lie, you have to be mentally prepared." "What happened, is he wrong? You use him as an experimental white mouse, you quack doctor, you dare to boast and cheat my trust."

"Mrs. Lie, there is no 100% safe operation in this world, and he is still alive!" "He has turned into a plant." Xu Hongmei's face was ashen. "No! He is perfectly sound in mind and body." At this time, the curtain behind them opened with a "swipe", and a nurse wearing a mask stood behind the glass in an isolation ward holding a baby. When the children saw people, they danced and danced, very lively and happy. Xu Hongmei was struck by thunder, she turned her head with a huo sound, and looked at Dr. Rong. Dr. Rong was extremely depressed, "His growth hormone has been rapidly retreating, and I can't stop it. I thought his life would return to a group of cells, but after thirty-six hours, it stopped automatically, and the sequence Ma'am, this is Lie Jiahui, he is two years old, with normal intelligence, healthy body, lively and lovely."

Xu Hongmei took two steps back. Qiuzhen thought she would cover her face and scream until she collapsed. Ah, horribly wrong. Time is too good at joking with them. No more, no less, the age difference between the two of them is still forty years. In the endless wasteland of time, forty years are nothing, billions of years have passed, at least now she can still see him, and he can see her. The toddler stretched out his chubby arms, seeming to recognize Xu Hongmei and asking her to hug her. Xu Hongmei smiled sadly, "This is God's punishment for my greed." Her face turned peaceful.

Doctor Rong was surprised. Ah, she loved him dearly. Xu Hongmei continued: "Let me take him home." "Mrs. Lie—" Xu Hongmei waved her hand, "It's how it should be." "Mrs. Lie, please listen to me, there is still room for redemption." Xu Hongmei stared at Doctor Rong. "In the Manle Institute, there is a man who can make your wishes come true." "Who?" "His surname is Yuan." "How is it better than you?" Dr. Rong raised his head, thought about it, and sighed, "Comparing me to him is like fireflies comparing to the moon."

Qiuzhen hears this, humming. Being able to say such words, this quack doctor also has his merits. There are many fireflies in this world. As soon as they come up, they first send others to be fireflies. "what!" "You can ask him." "How do I contact him?" "I have been away from Manle for a while, and the Manle Institute may not recognize me as a person at all. Mrs. Lie, I'm afraid you will have to work hard on your own." "I understand," Xu Hongmei actually smiled, "It's been a long time, and I have nothing to do. I could spend ten or eight years looking for this former doctor." "Mrs. Lie—" "Don't worry, I won't pursue mistakes." Dr. Rong couldn't relax, cold sweat still broke out on his forehead, "I will quit the arena from now on." Xu Hongmei was noncommittal, that's really the quack doctor's own business. She put on a white robe and mask, walked into the isolation ward, gently took little Lie Jiahui from the nurse's hand, and hugged her in her arms like a treasure. "Jiahui Jiahui, I am willing to serve you all my life." Two-year-old Lie Jiahui snuggled into Xu Hongmei's arms, very affectionate. Qiuzhen remembers this scene, she was inseparable from the child, she once carried him to Xiaoguo Detective Agency. Volume Two ends here. Qiuzhen gets up from the sofa, walks to the terrace, and enjoys the cool sea breeze. Xu Hongmei did not break her promise, she brought up Lie Jiahui with her own hands. Ask yourself, can you do it? She had been married twice, and at the later stage, she felt bored even seeing each other, so she broke up quickly. If the other party turned back into a child, she would scream and hand him over to the nursery. The doorbell rang. It was Qiqi who came to the door. "The truth is out," she said as soon as she entered the door. "The truth is not difficult to understand. Xu Hongmei's love for Lie Jiahui is truly admirable." Qiqi smiled, "It's destined. In the first half of his life, he watched her grow up, and in the second half of his life, she watched him grow up." "However, they never grew up together." "Strange, isn't it?" "What did Xiao Guo say?" Qiqi replied: "He is in contact with the original doctor." "Where has the original doctor been all these years?" "He is probably in a space that is not controlled by time." Sitting together, the two women sighed in unison. Qiqi asked, "What are you thinking?" "Qiqi, it's not in vain for the two of you to love so deeply." Qiqi also nodded. "If little old Mr. Guo went back to his childhood, would you take care of him?" Qiqi covered her mouth and smiled, "Hey, that guy must have been naughty when he was young." "And a strong curiosity since the age of three." "Hey, his parents can imagine the hardships." Qiuzhen laughed, "I don't mind meeting my childhood Xiao Guo." Qiqi kept laughing. "You can pinch his cheeks, you can teach him to do somersaults, you can take him to eat ice cream," Qiuzhen said, "it's right to do something for a good friend." Qiqi also found it interesting. Qiuzhen suddenly withdrew her smile, "Of course, that's because Mr. Xiao Guo is cute, so we don't mind loving him beyond time and space, and falling in love with his childhood at the same time." She paused, "It's a pity that there are so many hateful people in the world." , many times, I don’t even want to be in the same room with them.” Qiqi knew that Qiuzhen's two marriages were not happy. Qiuzhen told Qiqi, "At the beginning, I was naive and easy to bully. I kept checking myself and thought that I must be wrong. Later, people gradually became smarter, duh! If I was wrong because I didn't endure for thirty years, I would admit it. .” "Forget it, forget it in the past." Seeking the truth and laughing at himself, "But I have never enjoyed the love between a man and a woman in my life." Qiqi smiled, "Sigh that the world is so flawed that I believe it now." "What do you know, Mr. Xiao Guo is talented and affectionate." "That's beyond doubt, but I'm only friends with him." "It's the most subtle and graceful relationship, and it's the envy of others." Qi Qi concentrated, "The young Lie Jiahui must have brought infinite joy to Xu Hongmei." The phone call came. Qiuzhen answered, and then happily said, "Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon. Ms. Xu has been discharged from the hospital and wants to see us." "What are you waiting for?" Xu Hongmei had obviously washed and dressed, she was sitting on a sofa with her head slightly tilted back, leaning against the back of the chair, she was in good spirits. Qiuzhen has never seen such a handsome old lady. She smiled at the guest, "Excuse me, both of you." Ask the truth, "Where is Mr. Lie?" "I told him to go out for a walk, don't hinder the girls from chatting." "You don't need to rest?" "I'm about to rest in peace forever, and I have to seize the opportunity to see my friends while I can." Qiuzhen pressed Ms. Xu's hand. ... "Have you read volume two?" Seek the truth. Xu Hongmei recalled, "Bringing Jiahui home, we lived a life of mutual dependence. The nanny, coachman and even the neighbors all thought he was my child. In fact, Jiahui always called me mother, mother." Qiqi said, "I remember him as a special kid." "Well, he is very cooperative, he is a man with a heart, he never disturbs people's dreams at night, he loves to eat, sleep, and play, he stays in school, draws inferences from one example, he is quick-thinking, lively and cute, and knows how to respect teachers, I have finally seen it , from childhood to adulthood, Lie Jiahui has been a perfect person." Please be sincere. She loved him, that's why she said so. Her father, Xu Zhongkai, would definitely not think that Lie Jiahui was an impeccable person. But Qiuzhen agreed: "Yes, there is no one in a million people like that." Qiqi also said, "You are very lucky." "But I have been looking for Dr. Yuan, and there has been no news of him for more than 30 years." "He is a ranger, and he may have wandered into Fairyland." "Yes, three days in the mountains is a thousand years longer than the world." Xu Hongmei smiled, It seems that she has also attained perfection and has nothing to worry about. "When I was seven or eight years old, I first met Lie Jiahui, and he looked like he is now." She sighed a long time. You can tell that you are tired. Qiuzhen stood up and said goodbye. "Tell Mr. Guo to end the case. This is the end of Xu Hongmei's story." Qiqi nodded slightly. Qiuzhen said, "However, that former doctor has already left the customs." Xu Hongmei smiled and waved her hands, "Those who are predestined with him can see him. As for me, I have nothing to ask for." Qiqi La pulls on the corner of Zhenzhen's clothes, hinting that she will leave. Qiuzhen shook Ms. Xu's hand, and quit with Qiqi. Before I got into the car, I was called over. "You two, please stay." Qiuzhen recognized Lie Jiahui's voice. Lie Jiahui got straight to the point, "I have entrusted Mr. Guo to continue to search for the original doctor on my behalf." Qiuzhen was surprised: "But Ms. Xu said she has no request." Lie Jiahui smiled, "I have." Qiqi couldn't help asking, "Do you know what you're doing?" Lie Jiahui turned his head and looked at Qiqi, "Of course I know, Ms. Qiqi, you should understand why I want to see Dr. Yuan." Thinking of her own body that didn't quite match her age, Qiqi couldn't help but blushed, and was so embarrassed that she kept silent. Ask the truth: "Have you obtained Ms. Xu's consent?" "Back then, she handed me over to Dr. Rong, and I was kept in the dark." Qiuzhen opened his mouth wide. From another point of view, this is not retribution. She couldn't help blurting out, "Will this entanglement last a little too long?" Lie Jiahui replied: "We love each other, we will definitely achieve our wish." "But Ms. Xu's wish at the moment is to have a good rest." "She is old, she doesn't know what she should fight for, and I have the responsibility to help her make a choice." Qiuzhen suddenly became rude, "If you really love someone, you should respect her choice." Lie Jiahui quickly replied, "Miss Bu, I guess you don't know as much about feelings as I do. If you have children, you will know that children don't want to go to school at all. If you supervise them to go to school for education, do you not love them?" Looking at Lie Jiahui, Qiuzhen said, "Xu Hongmei is not a child." "I was her child." Qiuzhen hoped that she heard wrongly, whether there was a hint of revenge in this tone, of course not, there must be something wrong with her ears. Qiqi almost tore off Qiuzhen's sleeves, only then did Qiuzhen say, "Goodbye, Mr. Lie." She drives away. On the way Qiuzhen said: "I hope Mr. Xiao Guo will not accept this case." "As far as I guess, even if Lie Jiahui doesn't entrust him, he can't help but find Lao Yuan." "Then, I hope that Dr. Yuan will refuse to see Lie Jiahui." "why?" "Qiqi, don't you think it's very tiring to force someone to live forever?" Qiqi smiled. Qiuzhen added: "They must love each other, but they don't know how to respect each other." "Maybe, they are Zhou Yu and Huang Gai, a natural couple?" Qiuzhen was in a daze, "At first I thought they were relatives of gods, but now I have a little change of mind." "Obviously a mortal, how can he become a god? That's just an exaggerated adjective." "Find the original doctor, what are they going to do?" Qiqi said: "I guess Lie Jiahui will ask the former doctor to make Xu Hongmei similar to his age, so that they can really live and live together and live a normal life." "Will the original doctor agree to such a ridiculous request?" "We'll find out soon." Xiao Guo was waiting for them in the study. As soon as Qiuzhen entered the study, he rolled onto the old sofa. Xiao Guo glared at her, "It's not good looking." "Oh, don't sit when you can lie down, and don't stand when you can sit." Qiqi said: "I have understood this truth since I was forty years old." "Forty? How young." Qiuzhen sighed. "Have you got in touch with Lao Yuan?" Qiqi asked. Xiao Guo was triumphant, and he was ashamed, "I found it." "Would you like to see us?" "A date has been booked." Qiqi took a real look. "I have shown him Volume 1 and Volume 2, and he is very interested." "Where has he been in the past thirty years?" "Going out of reach of radio waves." Seeking the Truth "chuck" with a laugh, "The Voyager has already been able to send messages from Pluto back to Earth. Could it be that he went to an outer planet?" "Maybe farther." "It's been so long, isn't it boring?" Qiqi suddenly said: "Maybe he has a lover." Qiuzhen said enviously, "I'm really blessed." "Where do we meet?" "This city." Qiqi felt relieved, "I've always been most afraid of traveling long distances." "Yes." Years are not forgiving, and Xiao Guo felt the same, "After getting off the plane, you have to go through five levels and kill six generals, which is tiring for the bad guys. Lao Yuan has great powers, he got the global passport, and once he showed up, he went straight through without queuing up. It's more convenient for you and me to wait in turn." "What time is it?" "It will definitely appear tomorrow evening." "We'll just wait for him." Ask the truth: "What is the age of Doctor Yuan?" Xiao Guo replied: "It should be about the same as me." After thinking about it, he added a few words, "I am old-fashioned, with neither talent nor appearance. Qiqi laughed, "God really favors certain people sometimes." "How does the original doctor compare to Lie Jiahui?" Qiqi said, "I haven't seen Yuan." However, Xiao Guo said: "Doctor Yuan is extremely talented, has an outstanding appearance, and has a great sense of justice. He is like a lighted jade bottle, with a crystal light that is comparable to extraordinary people." Qiuzhen was in awe, "Ah!" "Lie Jiahui and Xu Hongmei spent their whole lives in military service, just for the sake of their children's private love in the world of mortals. They love each other. That kind of temperament is incomparable with those who do great things." Qiuzhen let out another "heh". Xiao Guo said, "Yuan lives in another level. Moreover, he has always been a lover, generous and sincere, which is rare." Please sincerely yearn for it. Xiao Guo said: "If a person only loves himself, his realm will never be high." Qiqi laughed, "It's better than those who don't love themselves!" Xiao Guo also said, "If you don't even have the ability to love yourself, then you don't need to continue living." Qiuzhen suddenly stopped arguing with Xiao Guo, and she said sincerely: "Listening to what you have to say is better than reading ten years of books." Xiao Guo said: "Mr. Yuan is my idol." Qiuzhen asked: "He doesn't have a family?" "I have always been celibate, this is the only similarity between me and my idol."
