Without those worries, time flew by, and before they knew it, it was the weekend. Lu Lin drove Yan Heqing to see the doctor.
The doctor took Yan Heqing's pulse and the conclusion was not much different from what Yan Heqing himself knew: he had a naturally cold constitution, which had no impact on his health.
"But you should also pay attention to your daily health, such as eating more meat, eggs, and dairy products, and avoiding cold drinks," the doctor advised. "Soaking in hot springs can also be helpful."
Xie Yunjie's family owns a top-notch hot spring hotel in the next city, a two-hour drive from the capital.
Xie Yunjie received Lu Lin's call, and soon after, Chu Ziyu found out as well. Chu Ziyu contacted Yan Heqing directly, "The hot spring hotel is so much fun, I know it like the back of my hand! Tomorrow... oh, you have school tomorrow, so next Saturday, let's go play together!"
Hearing this from the side, Lu Lin replied first, "We're going for treatment, don't cause trouble."
Chu Ziyu disagreed, "What do you mean by 'making trouble,' President Lu? Don't you understand? A happy mood is the best medicine. With me as your playmate, I guarantee your little darling will receive the best treatment!"
Yan Heqing looked at Lu Lin, silently asking him, "Will you agree?"
Yan Heqing never expected that his action would make Lu Lin so adorable. Lu Lin lowered his head and pecked him on the lips. "It's your decision."
Yan Heqing agreed.
After hanging up the phone, a short while later, another call came in; it was from Lin Fengxian.
Originally Mother Lin didn't want to tell anyone, but after discussing it for several days, Lin Fengxian and his Father Lin decided to tell Yan Heqing anyway. " Heqing, don't panic when you hear this."
Lin Fengxian sighed, " Fengzhi's eyes have a problem."
Chapter 99
"Confirmed to have keratoconus in both eyes."
Yan Heqing remained silent, gazing calmly ahead through the windshield.
The evening glow on the horizon was so red it looked like it was on fire, making the entire cloud layer glow and shine.
This was Lin Fengxian's first encounter with this disease, and unsure whether Yan Heqing knew about it, he simply explained, "Fortunately, it was discovered early. The doctor now recommends corneal cross-linking and wearing RGP lenses to control growth. If neither of these works..."
Lin Fengxian didn't finish his sentence; if it didn't work, a corneal transplant would be necessary.
But this is not the most serious problem at present.
The serious problem is that Lin Fengzhi refused treatment.
He was briefly blind for a few hours that day, but then recovered. It's unclear when the problem will become permanent.
The Lin Family spent a week trying to persuade him at the hospital, and even called Gu Xingye, Lin Fengzhi simply locked the door and refused to see anyone.
Mother Lin insisted that they not contact Yan Heqing, and Lin Fengxian initially agreed, thinking there was no need for another person to worry, and that it wouldn't be too late to talk about it after Lin Fengzhi's treatment improved.
Lin Mother Lin grew thinner and thinner, and she had cried all her tears. Yesterday, Lin Fengxian was horrified to discover that his mother's white hair had sprouted like bamboo shoots after a rain overnight. He could no longer wait.
" Fengzhi has been stubborn since he was a child; once he's made up his mind, no one can change it," Lin Fengxian said apologetically. "Now I can only trouble you to come over; perhaps your persuasion will be effective."
Lu Lin didn't start the car, waiting for Yan Heqing to finish his phone call.
Yan Heqing continued gazing at the fiery sunset, his tone calm, "If I go, he'll be even less likely to accept treatment."
Lin Fengxian was stunned. "You two had a fight?"
Yan Heqing didn't answer directly, only saying, "You don't need to worry too much. After experiencing darkness a few more times, he'll get scared."
Lin Fengxian had no other choice. "I hope so."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Lin asked, "Really not going?"
The car was quiet and closed, and he heard Lin Fengxian's words clearly.
Yan Heqing turned his head and looked at Lu Lin, "Do you think I'm heartless?"
Lu Lin leaned forward, pulled the young man into his arms, and kissed the tip of his ear through his soft hair.
"That was a good refusal."
Yan Heqing hugged Lu Lin back, closing her eyes and letting herself sink into this warm and safe embrace.
He was very tired and exhausted, and he wanted to get some sleep.
Lu Lin simply picked him up and got out of the car, then lowered her head and kissed his eyes. "It's okay, keep sleeping."
Yan Heqing didn't open his eyes.
Lu Lin went to the back seat, put down a cushion for Yan Heqing to lie down, covered him with a thin blanket, then closed the car door and went back to find the doctor.
He returned, and before the doctor could even settle in, he explained, "I don't know much about this. I can only say it might be related to genetic factors, or it could be a gene mutation."
Lu Lin's expression darkened instantly, and he left immediately.
Yan Heqing woke up to find himself at a private hospital.
After a full set of examinations, the results came back quickly, and Yan Heqing's eyes were perfectly fine.
Lu Lin's expression softened, and he patted Yan Heqing's head, "We're eating out tonight. What do you want to eat?"
Yan Heqing wasn't actually hungry, but he was feeling cold and had eye problems today, and he didn't want Lu Lin to worry about his stomach, so he seriously thought of something, "Roast beef."
The only kindness shown to him by the original text was that he was given a good body, and despite his previous malnutrition, he had not developed any serious illnesses.
Lu Lin took Yan Heqing to a restaurant owned by the Xie Family. The beef was from live cattle transported from the grasslands, slaughtered on the spot, and the meat was tender and had a milky aroma.
Yan Heqing actually found his appetite and finished all the meat he ordered, and even ordered an extra plate of stir-fried beef noodles.
After finishing his meal and arriving home, Yan Heqing followed his usual routine without any unusual behavior. He said goodnight to Lu Lin at 11 p. m. and went back to his bedroom to rest.
Lu Lin went to the terrace.
He squatted down and examined each leaf of the potted plant.
In the past, his maternal grandmother especially loved the flowers and plants in her yard. The first thing she did when she woke up in the morning and the last thing she did before going to bed was to check those flowers and plants again and again without getting tired of it.
At that time, Lu Lin didn't understand.
It's something he doesn't care about that much.
He understood today.
The thought that Yan Heqing might also inherit the eye disease completely disrupted his thinking.
So that's what it feels like.
The flowers and leaves were intact, but Lu Lin did not move. He stared at the light purple sword orchid in front of him, his dark eyes filled with countless emotions.
He was wondering why Yan Heqing liked blueberries.
Do you like blueberries?
"Yes, it's good for the eyes."
