"Yeah." Gu Ye raised his head, and then scratched his hair a little irritably: "There is no way to do this, I can't always rely on your family for relief."

"Aren't you a coach at a fight club in District [-]? Isn't eight thousand a month enough? Why do you... go to that kind of competition?" Li Songyuan was a little anxious, and the volume suddenly increased, and then he went back to his home I looked at the door and lowered my voice: "It's one thing for me not to tell my parents, but you will be covered with injuries every few days like this, and they will see it sooner or later."

"Let me ask you, how much do uncles and aunts earn a month?" Gu Ye didn't answer, but asked a question instead.

"Add it up, less than six thousand..."

"Do you know how much it costs Xiao Chuan to go to the hospital for a re-examination? Do you know how much he costs for a bottle of medicine?"

"I don't know... a lot?" Li Songyuan's voice lost all confidence.

"To maintain Xiao Chuan's life, it costs at least 30 a month. If Xiao Chuan stops taking the medicine for two consecutive months, Xiao Chuan...his internal organs will experience functional failure, and then..." Gu Ye's voice was very calm, like He was talking about things that had nothing to do with him, but his clenched fists revealed his true emotions: "When my father was still there, the army's high subsidies and his own salary, plus the family savings Sustained, but now..."

Li Songyuan's eyes widened.

He never knew that Xiao Chuan's body had deteriorated to such an extent, let alone that it would take so much money a month to maintain Xiao Chuan's life.

Li Songyuan sighed, patted Gu Ye on the shoulder and went back.

Gu Ye closed the door and entered the house with the food box.

The sun had already risen, and the leaves outside the window were rustling by the wind. A beam of sunlight shone on the sleeping boy's face, making him look thinner and paler.

"Xiao Chuan, Xiao Chuan, wake up." Gu Ye yelled softly while sitting on the bed, saw him open his eyes in a little confusion, and then opened the food box: "Get up and eat something, ready to go out."

In the food box is a plate of side dishes and two large bowls of thick porridge.

Gu Xiaochuan sat up, his bone-thin wrist could barely hold the bowl, and he who never let Gu Ye feed him suddenly said, "Brother, feed me, I can't hold it."

"Okay." Gu Ye smiled, took the porridge bowl, blew the spoon on his mouth, and handed it to Gu Xiaochuan's mouth, with a tenderness in his eyes that he didn't realize.

Half a bowl of porridge was quickly fed, but Gu Xiaochuan whimpered suddenly, reached out and grabbed the porridge bowl and spoon, lowered his head under Gu Ye's surprised gaze, and kept sending porridge into his mouth fiercely, a stream of tears But it trickled down silently, pattering into the bowl.

"Xiao Chuan?"

"Brother..." Gu Xiaochuan put down the empty bowl, hugged Gu Ye suddenly and cried, "I'm sorry, brother..."

Gu Ye thought it was Xiao Chuan who was talking about hurting him again, and stretched out his arms to hug the skinny Xiao Chuan in his arms, stroking his soft hair without making a sound, but he didn't see Gu Xiao Chuan buried his head in his arms, tightly Biting his lip almost bleeding.

……

After dinner, Gu Xiaochuan tidied things up briefly, and the two got on the passenger plane bound for the fifth district.

Compared with the thirteenth district, which was dilapidated like the urban-rural fringe of Blue Star 200 years ago, the fifth district is like another world.

Hundreds of thousands of-story skyscrapers rise from the ground, tall buildings stand everywhere, and the streets are wide. Suspension vehicles shuttle quickly and silently on the roads, and private aircraft flow in mid-air along specific navigation tracks.

Scavenger robots shuttle between the roads and the flow of people to keep the city clean and tidy. Citizens of all races come and go. Except for some humanoid races, there are also many non-humanoid alien races here.

Farther up in the sky, a huge space-spanning starship hovered over the city, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Occasionally, a patrol ship belonging to the army would fly across the sky, leaving behind a white gas cloud.

Gu Ye took Gu Xiaochuan off the plane and took a taxi to the Central Hospital.

Gu Xiaochuan is actually not Gu Ye's younger brother, but was snatched back by Gu Lintang from the traffickers, but he has never been able to find Xiaochuan's family, and because of a congenital defect, no one was willing to adopt him, so Gu Lintang brought him back home, and treat it as if it were its own.

He also always knew that he was not the Gu family's biological son, so he felt extremely guilty for Gu Ye's devotion.

Gu Xiaochuan was only one year old when he was brought back, and he couldn’t speak well, but he liked to run after the 6-year-old Gu Ye staggeringly, shouting "brother" inarticulately with snot bubbles in his mouth .

Later, as he grew older, Gu Xiaochuan's illness became more and more serious. When he was ten years old, he could no longer walk on the ground.

……

Blue Star's imperial capital is very large. If counting the outermost districts, it is so large that it almost covers half of the Nuolan Plain.

The closer to the central area, the higher the degree of development.

The first district is the energy hub center of the central district, which is responsible for the energy production of the entire imperial capital. It is heavily guarded and prohibits the entry and exit of irrelevant personnel.

The second district is the political center of Yalan, the hub of power, and is called the capital district.

As for the Fifth Central Hospital that Gu Ye was going to, it was located in the Fifth District where there were as many department-level officials as dogs, and ministerial-level officials walked everywhere.

in the hospital.

Gu Xiaochuan was sent into the examination room wearing a white hospital gown, and Gu Ye sat on the rest chair outside, the cigarette in his hand was deformed, but he did not light it.

Smoking is prohibited in the hospital, but he always feels a little restless today.

While Gu Ye was looking anxiously at the closed metal door, several medical staff surrounded the two old men and walked towards them quickly.

The old man walking in front was wearing a dark green military uniform, with gray hair but full of spirit, looking majestic. The old woman next to her was holding her husband's arm, wearing a dark green cheongsam with a low bun, and two emerald green The bracelets jingled as they walked, which could not conceal their extravagance.

The old woman glanced at Gu Ye who was sitting on the bench in black sportswear, her eyes flickered a few times, and after whispering in her husband's ear, the old man in military uniform also turned his eyes and looked at Gu Ye.

"You are Gu Ye?" the old man asked.

"...You are?" Gu Ye frowned.

"That's why he's right." The woman's eyes lit up, and she looked eagerly at the examination room, almost rushing in impatiently.

This made Gu Ye's heart sink.

What do you mean?

"You don't have to look at me like that. I'm Xiao Chuan's grandfather, and I'm here to take him home."

"Why should I trust you?"

The old man waved his hand: "I don't need to explain to you, he won't get the best treatment if he follows you, you will harm him."

"I have a paternity test here, come and see it." The woman on the side patted her husband's arm, calmed down, and took out a piece of paper from her bag.

Gu Ye pursed his lips and took it.

"...According to the identification of our research office, Fu Wenbo and Fu Yutong are related..."

Attached to it is a photo of a middle-aged man and Xiao Chuan—it seems to be Xiao Chuan's father.

Signed by the Life Science Research Division of the National Academy of Sciences.

Gu Ye tightened his fingers and crumpled the thin paper.

"Anyway, we are very grateful to your family for taking care of Xiaochuan. We will transfer a sum of money to your account, which will never be less than what you paid for him." The woman stepped forward and wanted to pat Gu Ye's face. The shoulder was avoided by Gu Ye in silence.

Gu Ye's mind was buzzing, but he still said, "I don't want money. When Xiao Chuan comes out, if he is willing..."

The woman raised her hand to interrupt Gu Ye: "You are a good boy, but you must know that you cannot give him the best treatment."

Gu Ye was stunned.

Yes, of course he did.

Didn't Xiao Chuan die in front of Gu Ye in his previous life?

Moreover, the Fu family in Kyoto, a military and political family, the son of Fu Wenbo, Vice Minister of the Political Department, and the grandson of retired general Fu Xian...

This kind of condition is more than one level better than that of the Gu family.

"elder brother."

At this moment, the tightly closed metal was slowly pulled open, and Gu Xiaochuan was pushed out in a wheelchair, but when Gu Ye was about to speak, he looked to the other side and spit out four words that left Gu Ye stunned. Words: "Grandpa, Grandma."

Did he... actually know?

"Hey—my dear grandson—" The old woman rushed forward immediately, and touched Gu Xiaochuan's pale face with pity, and tears came down: "You have been wronged all these years."

The old man was silent and didn't step forward, but he couldn't help the red circles around his eyes.

"Grandma, I haven't been wronged, my father and brother have treated me very well..."

Gu Ye stood on the periphery, watching the atmosphere between the three of them, and felt that the woman's words had stabbed him in the heart.

"Brother. In fact, grandpa found me a few days ago, took my hair for identification, and asked me to go with them." Gu Xiaochuan turned to look at Gu Ye, avoided Gu Ye's eyes, and lowered his head: " I never told you..."

Gu Ye lowered his eyes: "Do you want to go back?"

"It was I who contacted them, I don't want to ... drag you down." Gu Xiaochuan looked at Gu Ye, and tears came down.

"You..." Gu Ye's voice was terribly hoarse, he paused, and smiled again: "They... can indeed give you better treatment... staying by my side will harm you."

Every time I utter a word, it feels like glass stubble slips down my throat.

"Brother." Gu Xiaochuan burst into tears, opened his mouth but only spit out this word, and couldn't make any more sound.

Gu Ye stepped forward and raised his hand to rub Gu Xiaochuan's hair: "It's okay, go back, that's your home."

"elder brother……"

Gu Ye stretched out his hand to gently wipe away the tears from Xiao Chuan's cheeks, bent his eyes and smiled, full of tenderness: "From now on, obediently listen to your grandparents, follow the doctor to do recovery training, and I will come to see you often."

Gu Xiaochuan hugged Gu Ye's waist and cried loudly.

"Take care of him." He stroked Xiao Chuan's back and looked at the two old people.

"Let's go, let's transfer to another hospital, you need a more comprehensive examination." The woman stretched out her hand towards Gu Ye, motioning for Gu Ye to push him over.

Gu Ye reluctantly touched Xiao Chuan's face, bent his eyes and smiled, but made people feel a little sad for no reason: "Go, call when you get home."

As he spoke, he gently pushed Xiao Chuan away, turned around and walked downstairs.

"elder brother!"

Gu Ye's footsteps paused, but he didn't look back.

He was afraid that if he turned around, he would not be willing to send him away.

"Brother...Brother——" Gu Xiaochuan screamed with tears, desperately urging the wheelchair to catch up, but because of muscle weakness, everything became futile, and he could only watch helplessly. The back of the man walked further and further away, and finally disappeared at the corner at the end of the corridor.

In the corridor, the frail young man finally threw himself on the cold ground, buried his head in his arms and cried hoarsely.

In the smoking area, Gu Ye leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette, but unexpectedly choked on it, covered his mouth and coughed.

Coughing and coughing gradually changed the smell, turning into a suppressed sob. In the small space, the young man leaned against the corner with his face covered, the warm liquid silently passed across his cheeks and the corners of his mouth. Traces of bruising.

After a long while, Gu Ye finally sorted out his mood, went to the washroom to wash his face, and then looked at the few remaining deposits in the bank card, and chose to buy a one-way ticket to a traveling starship outside the solar system.
