"Xiaohui, don't worry. The doctor said this is just a minor illness, and you'll be discharged from the hospital soon."
Huang Shujun smiled and chattered to Su Hao, afraid that he might think too much.
"Exactly!" Luo Shengrong nodded quickly.
"The doctor also said that you got sick because you've been overworked these years. So you can't read books during this period. You need to have a good rest for a while."
"Exactly!"
"To help you recover in peace, our family will move to the hospital for a while. And you can't read books during this time. In case you get bored, we'll stay here and talk to you."
"Exactly!"
...
Su Hao listened carefully, pretended not to know his condition, and nodded, promising his parents that he would take good care of himself and not think about anything during this period.
Then, when he had some free time, he secretly looked up "pancreatic cancer" on the Internet.
Pancreatic cancer is known as the "king of cancers"...
Seeing this, Su Hao suddenly understood. It meant that he was beyond help. From the perspective of modern medicine, this was a terminal illness, and he would most likely not survive nine months.
Calmly thinking about the current situation, Su Hao realized that the universe was mysterious, and life was no less so. At present, human understanding of life was still at a very shallow level. Most illnesses could not be cured, and the causes were unknown.
His understanding of the human body was even more superficial. He knew almost nothing about his own body. Over the years, the knowledge he pursued had been 偏向 (biased) towards natural sciences, while ignoring the foundation of humanity - life. Even in the "Cosmic Light" he constructed, there was not even a category of "medicine".
Su Hao silently entered the Marble Space and added a new column at the end of many categories, naming it "Medicine". After thinking for a while, he deleted it and changed it to "Life".
The end - point of medicine was life.
Getting sick was a strong signal sent by the body. After the internal organs and cells could no longer bear the damage, it was a signal for help to the outside world, an attempt by life to seek rescue.
So, what was life? Flesh and blood, cells, chromosomes, nucleic acids, proteins?
It was unknown. All that was known was that life was a miracle of the universe over billions of years.
The meaning of life had gone beyond the understanding of humans as living beings themselves. Why did it start, why did it end, and what was the purpose of living? No one could give a real answer to these questions. Moreover, a normal person wouldn't think about these questions at all.
But lying on the hospital bed, Su Hao stared blankly at the "Life" column and fell into deep thought for the first time.
Did these questions really have no answers?
A strong desire to explore suddenly welled up in Su Hao's heart.
...
The next day, Su Hao pretended to say casually, "Mom, I want to read some medical books. Can you get me a computer?"
"No way!" Huang Shujun refused without thinking. In her opinion, her precious son had fallen ill because he was addicted to studying and exhausted his body.
At this time, Luo Chaoxin beside him also raised his hand and said, "Mom, if brother wants to read books, I also want to read books."
Huang Shujun immediately got angry. She picked up Luo Chaoxin and started hitting him for the first time, saying while hitting, "Read books, read books. What books to read? Luo Chaoxin, I'm putting it bluntly. If you dare to get into the top twenty in your class when you go to school in the future, I'll break your legs. Do you hear me? From now on, go play. If I see you reading books or doing homework, you'll be in trouble."
Happiness came so suddenly. This was paradise. Luo Chaoxin even forgot to cry while being beaten.
Su Hao scratched his head helplessly, turned to his father, Luo Shengrong, and tried, "Dad, I just want to read books. Could you get me a computer?"
Before Luo Shengrong could speak, Huang Shujun immediately shouted, "No, I said no means no!"
After saying that, she glared at Luo Shengrong.
Luo Shengrong, whose heart had softened, hardened again, and said firmly, "Yes, no way!"
Then Huang Shujun started chattering to Su Hao about why she wouldn't let him read books, saying that reading was harmful to his health and such nonsense, which made Su Hao dizzy.
Finally, he had to change his way of communication.
Su Hao said with a determined look on his face, "Mom, you don't need to lie to me. I already know. I have cancer, right? I only have less than nine months left, right?"
Huang Shujun and Luo Shengrong were stunned. Luo Chaoxin, not quite understanding, imitated his parents and widened his eyes as much as possible.
At this time, Huang Shujun couldn't help the big teardrops from falling like raindrops. Luo Shengrong quickly hugged his wife.
Huang Shujun suddenly seemed to think of something. She broke free from Luo Shengrong's arms, pointed at her husband, and said angrily, "Luo Shengrong, tell me, did you, this bastard, tell Xiaohui?"
Luo Shengrong was shocked and immediately shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me!"
"If not you, then who?"
Luo Shengrong rolled his eyes and happened to see Luo Chaoxin with a confused look on his face. He immediately pointed at Luo Chaoxin and argued, "Maybe it was Xiaoxin who said it!"
Huang Shujun turned her burning eyes to Luo Chaoxin and said, "Luo Chaoxin? Did you say it?"
Luo Chaoxin was completely confused. Who am I, where am I, and what should I do?
At this time, Su Hao watched with amusement and said, "Don't guess. No one told me. I secretly peeked when you guys weren't paying attention."
Huang Shujun stopped and said cautiously, "Xiaohui, you... aren't you sad?"
"Of course I'm sad!" Su Hao said speechlessly. "But what's the use of being sad? It can't change the fact."
Suddenly, the ward fell into a brief silence, and no one spoke.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right and Huang Shujun's tears were about to fall again, he quickly said, "Mom, I know you're good to me, but things have come to this. There's no going back. In the last days of my life, can I live in my own way? I want to read books."
Huang Shujun choked and said, "But the doctor said that as long as you maintain an optimistic and positive attitude towards life, there's a chance of a cure. So don't put too much pressure on yourself during this period. Just listen to mom, okay?"
Su Hao comforted her, "Don't worry. I'll definitely cooperate with the treatment actively, and I won't overwork my body. I promise to only read for a little while every day."
Huang Shujun was still hesitating. Su Hao added, "And mom, don't you remember? Your son is a genius. Let me study my illness myself. Maybe I can find a cure."
Luo Shengrong slapped his palm and the frown on his face disappeared. "That makes sense!"
Su Hao pressed on, "It's more than just making sense. As the saying goes, it's better to rely on oneself than on others. I should take control of my own life. Trust me, maybe I can really do it."
Finally, Huang Shujun was persuaded and agreed to get a computer for Su Hao and buy him some books on medical research and life sciences from the bookstore.
The prerequisite was that he was only allowed to use it for no more than four hours a day, and it would be taken back after four hours.
But such a condition was almost no restriction for Su Hao. As long as he got the computer, he could scan all the life - medical knowledge into the Marble Space and then view it at will in the Marble Space.
After settling Su Hao's matter, Huang Shujun turned her gaze to Luo Chaoxin.
"Xiaoxin, mom will sign you up for extracurricular interest classes tomorrow. You need to learn art, piano, dance, taekwondo, swimming, table tennis... You must build a strong body. Do you understand?"
