At nine o'clock in the evening, the lights were on.

After Liu Xu took a bath, she dried her hair, laid down skillfully on the bed.

Today is the third day after the follow-up visit, and the money in her WeChat account is only 100 yuan, the cash in her wallet is only 30 yuan.

In another week, she should only be able to touch a few steel coins from her body.

Thinking that she was about to become a penniless pauper, Liu Xu wailed sadly: "Woo... my money...Meng Li, you bastard who eats people but doesn't spit out bones, I hate you!"

"Achcu... " Meng Li, who was wearing home clothes and sitting on the sofa reading a book, suddenly sneezed.

He rubbed his nose, raised his head wonderingly, this July day is very hot, not cold at all, he definitely didn't sneeze because he caught a cold.

Someone must be scolding him behind his back!

Just guessing who it is.

Suddenly, a notification sounded from the mobile phone beside him.

Meng Li picked up his phone, turned the screen and found that Liu Xu had sent him a WeChat message.

"Mr. Meng, good evening, you shouldn't be asleep at this hour, may I bother you?"

Meng Li looked at the words on the screen, but didn't reply to Liu Xu immediately. He closed the book and put it back on the shelf.

He opened the refrigerator to get a glass of milk before going to bed.

He sat back on the sofa with the milk, took a sip gracefully, then turned on his phone, and slowly replied to Liu Xu: "I haven't slept."

Liu Xu's reply soon popped up on the chat interface: "Mr. Meng,After taking the medicine for the past few days, has your health improved?"

"No."

"Then have you found a girlfriend yet?"

Meng Li lowered his head, took another sip of milk.

He thought for a while, and typed in the dialogue box: "No."

But the truth is, he went out this morning and was accosted by a beautiful woman who asked him if he needed a beautiful girlfriend?

He said indifferently: "No need."

The beauty lost face on the spot and ran to the toilet to cry.

Liu Xu in the other room scratched her hair irritably with a heartbroken look on her face, "It didn't improve after taking the medicine, and you didn't find a girlfriend. How can this disease be cured?"

She suddenly covered her face and began to cry "Wuuu... In three days, my debt will increase by another 30,000."

The sad Liu Xu fell asleep with hatred and tears in her eyes.

Two days later.

At 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Liu Xu dragged her tired body back home after working all day.

She turned on the light, threw off her high heels, and spread out on the sofa, not wanting to move.

Getting off work on Friday is a happy day for a group of migrant workers, but Liu Xu is not happy at all.

It's not because the boss scolded her, and it's not because she has to work overtime tomorrow.

It was because she was going to accompany Meng Li to Hai Rui hospital for a follow-up visit tomorrow.

In the past, on Friday nights, Liu Xu was extremely excited, which meant that she could sleep in tomorrow and not have to get up early to go to work.

Since Meng Li appeared, Fridays and weekends are no longer happy days.

She worked so hard to go to work, and the money she earned was not enough for Meng Li to see a doctor.

How can people be happy on such a dark day?

"Gululu..."

Just as Liu Xu was sad, her stomach suddenly growled.

"Alas..." Liu Xu rubbed her hungry stomach and sighed. Although she was in a bad mood and life was difficult, she still had to eat on time to feed her stomach.

After opening the refrigerator, Liu Xu found that it was empty, there was no other food left, only two eggs left.

"Woooo..." Liu Xu bit her lower lip and almost couldn't help crying.

She doesn't even have the money to buy food now.

Finally, Liu Xu used an egg to make a plate of delicious egg fried rice for herself.

After dinner, she began to feel melancholy again.

Tomorrow morning, she can have another meal of egg fried rice, so what will she eat tomorrow night?

This melancholy lasted until Liu Xu took a bath.

She sat on the bed and opened her wallet to have a look.

Sure enough, only two fifty-cent steel coins could be found and none of the other banknotes were found.

At this time, the phone suddenly rang a notification tone.

Liu Xu picked up her phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Meng Li.

"Go to the hospital for a follow-up visit to morrow. I'll see you in the underground garage at 8:30 in the morning."

Liu Xu now feels dizzy when she sees this news again. Feeling crushed to death.

If Meng Li's illness is not cured, Liu Xu feels that her whole life's work will be for nothing.

What's the point of living a life that you can't spend your hard-earned money?

Liu Xu sent another message to Meng Li without giving up: "Mr. Meng, have you found a girlfriend yet?"

She thought that with Meng Li's outstanding appearance, it would be easy to find a girlfriend.

"No."

Looking at the large characters on the screen of the phone, Liu Xu only felt that the future was bleak.

If Meng Li couldn't find a girlfriend, she would have to spend money on medicine for him.

After careful consideration, Liu Xu made a major decision. She sent a message to Meng Li: "Mr. Meng, let me treat you."

Without waiting for Meng Li to reply, she went out. Liu Xu was wearing slippers and didn't even change her pajamas.

On the ninth floor, there was a knock on the door of Meng Li's house.
