Arrived upstairs.

To Zhang Xian's surprise, Lin Xiwei had already prepared a sumptuous meal, which was clearly premeditated.

"Xiwei, what day is it today?"

Zhang Xian pulled up a chair and sat down. He wasn't at all reserved; after all, they were old flames, so there was no airs between them.

"Think about it carefully."

Lin Xiwei opened the refrigerator door and asked, "Want some wine?"

"Let's skip the alcohol, we're driving."

Zhang Xian waved his hand, then glanced at the date on his phone, pondered for a while, and finally shook his head: "I really can't remember!"

The day you confessed your love!

Lin Xiwei rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian: "Now that you've become a famous musician, you really can't remember such trivial things."

"No, I remember it was Christmas!"

Zhang Xian felt wronged, after all, she was his first love, and he still remembered the days they spent together.

"We got together on Christmas Day, but you first confessed your feelings to me six years ago today, and I didn't agree then!"

"That's it!"

"Time flies, it's been six years already!"

Zhang Xian smiled and scratched his head, automatically ignoring those unpleasant memories.

"Yes, things have changed!"

Lin Xiwei sighed.

"It's not fair to say that things have changed; we are still us!"

"We are still us, but we are no longer us!"

Lin Xiwei was obviously implying that the two had broken up.

"Our conversation sounds a bit cheesy, like a Taiwanese idol drama."

Zhang Xian joked that when he was a child, Taiwanese idol dramas were quite popular, and they were a part of a generation's youthful memories. However, he only caught the tail end of that era; it was the last glorious period for Taiwanese idol dramas, and they didn't become as popular after that.

"Let's eat then, and try my cooking."

"Alright, I've been fishing all day, I'm starving!"

Zhang Xian began to focus on cooking. In fact, he had already tasted Lin Xiwei's cooking when they ate together last time, and it was very good. She had the potential to be a little chef.

In no time at all, he finished a bowl of rice.

Just then, Lin Xiwei's phone rang. Without turning her back to Zhang Xian, she pressed the answer button directly. Although it wasn't on speakerphone, since there were only the two of them in the room and it was very quiet, Zhang Xian could hear the voice coming from the receiver quite clearly.

"Weiwei, the hospital just called and said they've found a kidney match, but we haven't sold our house yet. How are we going to pay for the surgery?!"

The voice on the phone was that of a woman, which Zhang Xian recognized. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be Lin Xiwei's mother.

However, what the other party said surprised Zhang Xian.

A kidney match is needed; someone in Lin Xiwei's family must be sick!
Zhang Xian remembered that when Lin Xiwei was in college, her father passed away, leaving only her mother and brother. The phone call was from her mother, so the person who needed a kidney transplant was most likely her brother.

Lin Xiwei glanced at Zhang Xian subconsciously, then replied, "Mom, don't worry, I'll figure out how to get the money."

"Weiwei, how about we mortgage the house first? I heard the interest rate isn't too high."

"Let's discuss it when I get home tomorrow."

Lin Xiwei chatted with her mother for a few minutes before quickly hanging up the phone.

Send me your bank card number.

After Lin Xiwei hung up the phone, Zhang Xian gestured to her with his lip. He had heard the conversation and couldn't pretend he didn't know.

However, if it were anyone else, Zhang Xian would most likely have pretended not to notice, but this was Lin Xiwei, his first love, so spending a little money was no big deal! Of course, it was also because Zhang Xian wasn't short of money right now; he had tens of millions in his bank account!

"Aren't you going to ask why?"

Lin Xiwei did intend to ask Zhang Xian for help. Firstly, Zhang Xian was not short of money, and secondly, their relationship was already established.

Another point is that Lin Xiwei has her own little scheme: she borrows the money first, then uses herself to pay off the debt, so she doesn't have to go through all the trouble of getting back together with him.

"If you want to talk, then talk; if you don't want to talk, I won't ask."

"Just tell me how much money you need."

If a kidney transplant is needed, it must be a serious illness, which is already distressing enough. Zhang Xian doesn't need to pry into the details.

“It’s my brother. He has uremia.”

"After being diagnosed with the disease, my sister-in-law filed for divorce and then took all of our savings, leaving us with only a house that we still had to pay mortgages on. But in the past two years, house prices have fallen, and after selling my brother's house, we only had a little over 100,000 yuan left. The money for the treatment over the past six months has long been used up."

Lin Xiwei recounted in detail her brother's experiences and the family's situation.

"So, you returned to Beijing from Shanghai six months ago because your brother was sick."

"That's the main reason."

"What was the main reason for that?"

Zhang Xian pressed for an answer, already having a vague idea in his mind.

When Liu Dongxu got married, he learned from Xu Yuanyuan that Lin Xiwei had been paying attention to him all along, which made it easy to understand why she had been single all these years.

"The donor needs 380,000 yuan, and the subsequent costs should be around another 200,000 to 300,000 yuan."

Lin Xiwei didn't answer Zhang Xian's question, but went straight to the cost of the treatment.

The most difficult part of kidney transplant surgery is finding a matching kidney. There are usually three ways to find a kidney. The first and most common way is through donations from immediate family members. However, Lin Xiwei's mother's health condition did not allow it, and Lin Xiwei herself was not a match.

Even if she were a match, according to her brother, he would resolutely refuse, as he felt it would ruin his sister's life.

Another option is a formal kidney bank, where many kidneys are donated after a citizen's death. However, these kidneys are not provided free of charge, and the cost varies depending on the region, generally starting at 28 yuan.

The last one is the so-called "black market," which is illegal and rarely accessible to ordinary people.

Lin Xiwei's brother has been waiting for a kidney for almost half a year. It's through legitimate channels, so he's considered very lucky. Most people die without ever receiving a kidney.

"That means a total of 70 is needed."

“60 is enough, and I still have 10 in savings.”

As she spoke, Lin Xiwei sent her bank card number to Zhang Xian.

A few days ago, Zhang Xian activated China Construction Bank's private banking service. For transfers under ten million yuan, he no longer needs to make a special trip to the bank; he can handle it directly on his mobile phone.

Shortly after, Lin Xiwei received a notification from the bank that her account had been deposited into her account.

However, the amount is not 60, but 100 million!
"How did it spin so many times?"

Lin Xiwei looked at Zhang Xian with some surprise.

"Being prepared is better than being sick; treating illness is of utmost importance."

"If it's not enough, just say so."

Zhang Xian is now very wealthy, earning over ten million a day these past few days, so this million is nothing to him.

Aren't you afraid you won't be able to pay me back?

"If you can't pay it back, then pay with your body!"

Zhang Xian replied with a smile.

It's said that a good horse doesn't eat the grass it's already grazed, but if that grass is fragrant, then that's another story.

Reconnecting with your first love to recapture that feeling from back then is a wonderful thing.
