In the darkness, Ji Bai smelled the disinfectant water.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the cold white tiles on the walls of the hospital.
Suddenly, there was a slight tingling pain in the left arm.
Ji Bai lowered her head and saw that the sharp needle had penetrated her white skin, and the red blood crawled out slowly along the slender pipe like an earthworm.
She shrank back sharply, instinctively trying to remove the blood vessel.
At this time, a pair of warm palms pressed hard on her shoulders.
"Don't be afraid for nothing; it will be done soon."
Ji Bai turned her head and saw the gentle and kind smile of her mother, Tao Jiazhi.
At this time, Tao Jiazhi has thick black hair and collagen on her face. There are not many wrinkles. She looks very young and has a much gentler expression.
Ji Bai was reborn, returning to the year she was seventeen.
Mother said softly in her ear, "Don't be afraid; just draw a bag of blood, for nothing is a great hero to protect my sister."
This sentence, mother Tao Jiazhi began to chant as she remembered, and she continued to recite it until she was twenty-five years old.
Sister JiFei Fei has been diagnosed with haemophilia since she was born. She has severe coagulation dysfunction and requires regular blood transfusions.
It happened that she has the most precious Rh-negative AB blood, which is the so-called "panda blood", which is hardly found in the hospital's blood bank. Her parents had Rh-negative type A and type B blood, respectively, and they could not give her a blood transfusion.
In order to treat her sister, the parents desperately decided to have another child serve as the sister's "living blood bank".
So, the next year, Jibai was born. Fortunately, Jibai is also Rh-negative with an AB blood type, which exactly matches the blood type of her sister.
So, the nightmare of Jibai began...
In the early years, my sister's physical condition was not bad, the complications were not serious, and the blood was transfused once every six months at most.
But after college, her condition began to worsen, so the frequency of blood draws ranged from six months to three months to one month or even a few days.
In her previous life, Jibai was unwilling to have her blood drawn all the time. She was afraid of pain, so her parents morally kidnapped her. If she didn't do this, she would have no conscience or care for family love.
Because of frequent blood draws, Jibai suffers from anaemia. She never wants to give her sister a blood transfusion anymore, but her parents fiercely criticise her. They even kept her in the hospital for a forced blood transfusion.
Later, Jibai died unexpectedly, and her mother cried, saying that Fei had no blood supply. What can she do in the future?
In the eyes of her "gentle and loving" parents, her only value is just her sister's "living blood bank"!
At the age of seventeen, Jibai did not want to repeat the tragedy of her previous life. She wanted to have a normal life.
While she was stunned, the doctor had already drawn 200 cc of blood and said to her mother, Tao Jiazhi, "Go back and cook some blood-producing meals for her, such as fried pork liver, and make up as much as possible."
Tao Jiazhi nodded repeatedly and touched Jibai's head: "Baibai is so good; whatever you want to eat at night, mom will make it for you."
JiBai tilted her head slightly, avoiding her caress.
She got up and went out, leaning against the cold wall of the hospital. Her brain was short of blood for a while, and she was a little dizzy.
By coincidence, she happened to see JiFifei taking the test sheet and asked with concern, "Xiaobai, are you okay? Are you uncomfortable?"
In her previous life, her sister cared for and loved her so much, and Jibai believed that she was really good to her.
Under the cover of this hypocritical appearance, JiFeifei deprived and squeezed her endlessly, not only for her body and health but also for her parents' preference and relatives' care...
All the resources that Jibai deserved while growing up were robbed by JiFeifei.
Now, she won't be fooled anymore.
Jibai avoided her indifferently and turned around, adapting to the dizziness in her body.
Tao Jiazhi gently raised Ji Fei Fei and rolled up her sleeves, waiting for the doctor to process fresh blood.
JiFei Fei looked at her younger sister in the corner and said worriedly, "My younger sister seems to be blaming me and ignoring me. Mom, I feel very jilted."
Tao Jiazhi comforted her: "It is only natural for her to supply blood to you. Who made you sisters?"
JiFei Fei lowered her head sadly and said sincerely, "Sister, don't blame me, okay?"
Again.
JiFeifei disguised herself as the poorest child in the world, and the whole family felt sorry for her because she was not only sick but also full of guilt.
Jibai fiercely resisted but was accused by relatives, saying that you didn't think of your sister at all, how pitiful your sister was crying, that your parents gave your life, and what happened to your sister's blood loss!
Under pressure from family members, Jibai rolled up her sleeves time and time again.
For example, at this moment, her mother, Tao Jiazhi, reprimanded her: "For nothing, my sister cares about you, so how can you ignore your sister?"
At this moment, Jibai calmed down a lot and said lightly, "Sister thinks too much. It is right for us to help each other. I don't blame you."
JiFeifei was startled slightly, then nodded vigorously.
It was six o'clock in the evening after the blood transfusion, and her father's Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance of the hospital.
After her mother got into the car with her sister, JiMingzhi asked, "What did the doctor say?"
"Fei Fei's condition is fairly stable."
"Then rest assured."
Jibai remembers that high school was a stable period for her sister's illness, and the frequency of blood transfusions was not high—at most once every six months, which was a range that she could bear.
However, after her sister was 23 years old, her condition relapsed, and the frequency of blood draws surged. Finally, Jibai also suffered from anaemia.
Jibai secretly made up her mind to use this period to escape from the control of her parents and stop being controlled by them.
Since there is a chance to do it again, she does not want to be an accessory for her sister to continue her life.
Jibai tilted her head against the car window, secretly thinking about the future.
The mother saw the listless JiBai through the rear-view mirror and asked with concern, "Wai Bai, are you tired?"
Jibai said, "Hmm," and added, "A little bit."
So Tao Jiazhi said, "Then you can take a nap in the car, and you have to memorise the manuscript when you go home. It's been a few days since the reporter's interview. You must fully cooperate with your sister."
"I know."
