Chapter 243: The Deep Friendship

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Without taking Huo Xuan’s pulse, Min Rufeng said, “Even if I can’t treat you, I can still keep you alive with medicine. Don’t worry, I guarantee that you won’t die in 30 years.”

“…” Huo Xuan.

Why did these words sound so unreliable?

However, even though he was thinking that, it was undeniable that Huo Xuan’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Min Rufeng’s words.

30 years…

This was something he had never dared to imagine.

To him, he didn’t even dare to hope to live for three years.

That was why the Huo Corporation was so well managed by him. Even if he was gone one day, the other members of the Huo Family could easily take over.

Since Min Rufeng was the only two people he couldn’t see through all these years… Oh, he wasn’t the only two either. He had almost forgotten about Yan Jinyu and Rainy.

Actually, he couldn’t see through Yan Jinyu and Rainy either, especially Yan Jinyu.

However, no matter what, Min Rufeng was the only two men he couldn’t see through.

Since she was someone he could not see through, he shouldn’t be someone who would boast.

“Why does Second Young Master Min sound like he wants me to live no matter what? This is the first time I’ve met Second Young Master Min. Our friendship shouldn’t be so deep.”

These words were a test.

Min Rufeng glanced at him and didn’t answer.

Naturally, the reason why he kept Huo Xuan alive was because he didn’t want the person whom he had protected like a younger sister to shoulder the responsibility of her family after she had finally escaped from the sea of suffering.

It was obvious that Huo Siyu’s emotions had been maintained for too long, and Min Rufeng had also discovered it.

However, Min Rufeng’s reply made Huo Xuan speechless.

He said, “A physician should have a parental heart.”

Then, Min Rufeng pointed at the cushion on the table. “Young Master Huo, please place your hand on this.”

Huo Xuan followed his instructions.

Huo Siyu was nervous. Yan Jinyu, who was sitting on the sofa, looked up at her. “Little Rain.”

“What?” Huo Siyu was really nervous. Yan Jinyu’s shout frightened her.

Yan Jinyu sighed helplessly. “Come and sit.”

Huo Siyu wanted to reject her, but Yan Jinyu waved the phone in her hand. “There’s one level in the game that I can’t pass. Come and help me.”

Huo Siyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she saw that although she was smiling, she was being serious. “Beauty Yu, stop teasing me. The games that you can’t clear haven’t been developed in this world yet, right?”

The speaker did not mean it, but the listener did.

An unknown emotion flashed past Huo Xuan’s eyes when he heard Huo Siyu’s words.

“Anyway, I just can’t pass it. Help me pass it.”

Huo Siyu was extremely helpless. In the end, she obediently walked over and sat down before taking her phone.

“Alright, give it to me.” She knew that Beauty Yu wanted to divert her attention.

Forget it. Since they didn’t want to see her worried, she shall quit being worried then. If even Brother Feng couldn’t cure her, then no one in the world could cure her brother’s illness.

However, she knew that Brother Feng was not boasting when he said that he could keep his brother alive for 30 years.

This was already considered… very good.

Before she came to the capital, she had talked to her mother alone. Her mother said that no matter how many doctors they had seen, they all said her brother would not live past 30 years old.

Now, her brother was already 25 years old.

Actually, Huo Siyu wasn’t the only one who was worried. Min Guili was also very worried.

However, his worry was different from Huo Siyu’s.

Huo Siyu was worried that Min Rufeng couldn’t cure Huo Xuan, while Min Guili was the opposite.

Min Guili was destined to be enemies with Min Rufeng. This was obvious to everyone who could see the Min Family’s situation now.

Since Min Guili wanted to rope Huo Xuan in as his help, he naturally didn’t want Min Rufeng to really treat Huo Xuan. That way, not only would Huo Xuan not be his help, but he might also stand on his opposite side and help Min Rufeng.

When he received the news that Huo Xuan had appeared in the capital’s hospital, he hurriedly led a group of people over. His main purpose wasn’t to bring Huo Xuan to see Min Rufeng, but to stop him from seeing him.

He hoped that one of the doctors would say that he could treat Huo Xuan’s illness. Even if he couldn’t, he would at least say that there was progress in his research over the years that made Huo Xuan interested and brought him away.

However, no matter what they said, Huo Xuan… No, it should be said that Huo Siyu was unmoved and insisted on meeting Min Rufeng first.

He couldn’t just stop them from coming over. If he really did that, their relationship might become stiff. There was no need to talk about roping them in.

He could only take the initiative to bring them over.

Unfortunately, Min Guili was destined to be disappointed. Min Rufeng was a Chinese medicine genius. Even Min Rufeng himself probably didn’t know how high his attainments in medicine were.

He liked to study strange things, be it pharmaceuticals or complicated diseases.

If one day was not enough, one month would be enough. If one month was not enough, one year would be enough.

In other words, even if he couldn’t cure Huo Xuan today, it didn’t mean that he couldn’t find a solution in the future.

Retracting his hand that was taking his pulse, Min Rufeng said, “For the time being, I can only keep you alive for 30 years.”

Huo Xuan, who was about to retract his hand, clenched his fists lightly.

If it wasn’t for his calm personality that he had nurtured for a long time, he probably wouldn’t be so calm now.

In fact, he was very excited.

“Second Young Master Min, please speak frankly.”

Hanging onto his life for another 30 years was already something he didn’t dare to hope for in the past, but Min Rufeng said that it was “temporary”.

Hanging on his life for 30 years was already something he didn’t dare to hope for in the past, but Min Rufeng said that it was “temporary”.

“It’s fine. I’ve already lived like this for 25 years. I’m already used to it…”

“Don’t be anxious. I’m not done talking yet.”

“I’ve kept you alive for 30 years. How can I not be able to treat your illness in 30 years? I’m not that weak.”

Huo Xuan didn’t know what to say for a moment.

He had always been confident since he was young. It was rare for him to lose his voice.

Even if he didn’t say anything, it was mostly because he didn’t want to bother with those people.

Min Rufeng seemed to be exceptionally confident in his medical skills.

“That’s all for today. I’ll write two prescriptions later and send the medicine to you. Eat the medicine I prescribed for half a year first. Then, we’ll decide on a new course of treatment.”

It sounded rather casual.

However, Huo Siyu stood up excitedly. “Brother Feng, are you serious? Do you really have a solution for my brother’s illness?”

“Be careful not to smash Little Yu’s phone,” Min Rufeng said helplessly.

“I know, I know. Beauty Yu, come, take your phone. I’ve cleared the game for you and even cleared a few rounds.”

“Brother Feng, is what you said true? My brother…”

“There’s no other way for now. We can only hang on like this.”

Before Huo Siyu could speak, Min Rufeng said, “Of course, although he’s hanging around like this and will be in such a sickly state in the short term, he doesn’t need to recuperate. Besides, with the medicine I prescribed, his physique will definitely be better than now in half a year.”

Huo Siyu’s excited expression froze for a moment before her eyes turned a little teary.

Of course, it was just a little teary. As killers, they would not cry easily.

So Brother Feng had seen through her thoughts.

Since Brother Feng could tell, then Beauty Yu…

Indeed, she turned back and met Beauty Yu’s smiling eyes.

Huo Siyu suddenly felt that she had been unlucky and lucky in this life.

She was unlucky to have lost her way and ended up on Ghost Slaughter Island. She had experienced life and death a few times. She was lucky to meet these few friends who could make her give up everything.

Look, she had only wavered for a moment, but they had already realized it and were still thinking about her.

“Thank you, Brother Feng.”

She grabbed Huo Xuan’s arm, “Brother, did you hear that? I knew Brother Feng would definitely have a way. One day, you’ll be healthy.”

It was fine as long as he was healthy and could continue to protect the Huo Family.

If he was gone, the burden of the Huo Family would fall on Rainy’s shoulders.

Why should the girl work so hard?

She should just be responsible for living a carefree life.

Rainy had already suffered enough for all these years that she had been missing. If she had to shoulder the Huo Family’s burden again…

“Yes.” Huo Xuan’s eyes were smiling.

He rubbed Huo Siyu’s hair. “Rainy is really our family’s lucky star. My illness hasn’t improved at all for so many years. You’ve only brought me to the capital once and we’ve already gained so much.”

“Brother Feng is awesome too.”

Huo Xuan didn’t comment. He looked at Min Rufeng and said seriously, “Thank you.”

“You should have come earlier.” Min Rufeng’s words were not directed at anyone, but Huo Siyu knew that it was directed at her.

Brother Feng meant that since she cared about her brother, she should have brought him here long ago.

Undoubtedly, she cared about her brother, but she could not be so selfish.

Brother Feng was fighting with the Min Family and even didn’t hesitate to hide all his abilities. How could she possibly bring her brother to disturb him?

After all, she had just returned home and did not trust her brother 100%.

Without 100% trust, how would she dare to bring him to see Brother Feng? If Brother Feng’s secret was exposed, she…

Although the chances were very small, she did not dare to take the risk.

She knew very well how difficult it had been for the four of them to survive until now.

She could ignore her own life, but she could not ruin the peaceful life that the three of them had painstakingly exchanged for.

Yes, a peaceful life.

Although there were some open and hidden conflicts, compared to before, their lives were really very peaceful now.

At least, she didn’t have to worry that she would never wake up when she slept and had to be vigilant at all times.

Huo Siyu didn’t say anything. Huo Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly looked up. He said, “It’s not too late now.”

“Besides, there’s no way we could be early either. I’ve only heard about Second Young Master Min’s superb medical skills recently.”

“Second Young Master Min doesn’t look like you’re short of money either. If you need anything from me in the future, just tell me.” Not only because Min Rufeng could treat his illness, but also because…

Min Rufeng’s attitude towards Rainy.

He had only seen one person with such an attitude towards Rainy, and that was…

As he thought about it, Huo Xuan glanced at Yan Jinyu, who was sitting there.

Rainy was not someone who was easy to get close to. After returning home for a year, he had not seen her get close to her family, but he saw Rainy show complete trust and dependence on the two of them.

One was Yan Jinyu, and the other was Min Rufeng.

Yan Jinyu’s appearance made Rainy closer to her family. Min Rufeng’s appearance made him see hope in life.

“I’ll remember Young Master Huo’s words.”

“However, the medical fees that should be paid cannot be less. Young Master Huo will pay for the medicine too. There’s one thing that Young Master Huo is wrong about. I’m very short of money.”

“Regardless of whether Second Young Master Min is short of money or not, the consultation fees and medicinal fees should naturally be paid by me. However, my words still count.”

What was that?

Naturally, it was that phrase “If you need anything from me in the future, just tell me”.

Min Guili could not sit still anymore.

“Feng’er, how can you treat a patient so carelessly?! Not to mention that Nephew Huo is not an ordinary patient, even if he is, you shouldn’t be so perfunctory.”

“You simply took his pulse and prescribed two doses of medicine. When did treating illnesses become so easy?”
