After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

It was more than an hour later when Lu Shiyi and Aunt Zeng finished their chat.

After seeing Zeng Huizhen off, Lu Shiyi, who originally planned to go to the study hall, received a phone call and changed his destination to the hospital.

Tang Yiran also went, and the two went together.

The one who is sick is Li Pan, a part-time employee at Lu Shiyi Study Center.

Due to recent family changes, Li Pan has been helping to manage the Lu Shiyi self-study center.

Previously, the membership fee was waived for her. However, after Li Pan finished her postgraduate entrance exam in December, she had nothing to do and no income while waiting for the results. Lu Shiyi then offered to let Li Pan stay at the study hall to help out, and she would pay her a salary.

Li Pan is the kind of hardworking and down-to-earth girl. She may seem weak on the surface, but she has an indomitable spirit in her bones. After graduation, she chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination directly. She failed the first year and then fought hard for the second year.

She came from a poor family, so she deeply understood the importance of changing her destiny through knowledge. This was the only way she could think of after being raised in a rigid, conventional education system.

Unexpectedly, before the results of his second postgraduate entrance exam even arrived, he collapsed.

Li Pan, lying on her hospital bed, looked at Lu Shiyi and Tang Yiran with eyes full of gratitude.

Her family members are not in Nanshi, and she has no intention of notifying them.

If it weren't for the doctor's insistence that someone accompany her for the upcoming examinations, she wouldn't have bothered Lu Shiyi and the others.

"Eleven, Tangtang, thank you for coming."

In Li Pan's view, they were friends who met later in life, neither classmates nor long-term colleagues. Regardless of whether she pursued graduate studies or entered the workforce, it would be difficult for them to have any further contact.

On the long road of life, there are too many people who are just nodding acquaintances or passing strangers. She originally thought that she and Lu Shiyi and the others were the same.

Unexpectedly, the person who lent her money when she was poor was Lu Shiyi; the person who helped her when she was in trouble was also Lu Shiyi.

Perhaps they will rarely cross paths again, but in Li Pan's heart, she will always be grateful to Lu Shiyi.

"Why are you being so polite with us?" Lu Shiyi sat down by the hospital bed.

"Just take a good rest during this time. My study room is going to be sold, so you don't need to worry about it affecting your work. Just focus on resting."

"You're going to sell your study room now?" Tang Yiran asked in surprise.

"Yes, we had already planned it before, it's just that the time was brought forward a bit," Lu Shiyi replied.

Li Pan, lying in her hospital bed, was also surprised to hear this. Lu Shiyi had mentioned it to her before, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Is everything ready for the new training institution you're planning to open in November?" Tang Yiran asked.

My friend Eleven has been busy running around looking for training institution venues for a while now, and she knows all about it.

Some things happened at home that caused a delay.

She thought her friend would at least wait a while before continuing, but unexpectedly...

Lu Shiyi shook his head. "No, the training institution matter will be put on hold for now."

"Then how come you..." Tang Yiran was only halfway through her question when she suddenly realized something. She leaned close to Lu Shiyi's ear and whispered, "Is it related to discovering Fu Cheng's identity?"

That's right, if your husband is a multi-millionaire, why would you need to open a study hall or training institution?

Lu Shiyi glanced at her gossipy best friend, smiled faintly, neither denying nor confirming.

After the three chatted for a while, a doctor came over and began to examine them.

Lu Shiyi and her best friend Tang Yiran accompanied her throughout the entire process.

Looking at Li Pan's pale, bloodless face, it's no wonder the doctor arranged for her to undergo so many tests.

In fact, the most crucial evidence was Li Pan's blood routine report.

Not only were the platelet counts unusually low, but many other blood parameters were also either low or high.

That's why the doctor forced him to stay in the hospital for examination and required someone to accompany him.

Based on years of medical experience, doctors often have a bad feeling and therefore need to conduct various tests to confirm it.

Lu Shiyi and Tang Yiran learned from their casual conversation that Li Pan's health had never been very good.

I have had unexplained fevers before, and occasionally I also feel dizzy and weak all over.

But Li Pan didn't take it seriously. She thought her dizziness was just due to anemia, so when the dizziness seriously affected her studies, she would just go to the hospital for a simple blood transfusion to solve the problem, and never had any in-depth examinations.

In particular, the doctor had suggested that she undergo a biopsy, but she refused.

She has had anemia since childhood, something she has always known.

Therefore, she didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

If it weren't for the doctor she encountered this time, whose attitude was too firm and whose words were too harsh, she wouldn't have agreed to stay in the hospital for examination, and she had no choice but to trouble Lu Shiyi.

Tang Yiran was bored and wanted to kill time, so she came along with Lu Shiyi.

The entire process of various checks only gave one impression.

That is, in this life, you should never be sick. Hospitals are truly terrifying places.

Blood was drawn tube by tube, more than a dozen tubes were drawn in a row. Even though I was already anemic, there was nothing I could do. The puncture was even more painful, and I was sweating profusely.

Even someone like Li Pan, who considers herself very hardworking, couldn't help but groan and cry out.

Lu Shiyi and Tang Yiran, who accompanied her throughout the entire process, looked at this girl who was about the same age as themselves and saw the various torments she had suffered. They were truly filled with emotion.

Life is like overcoming one obstacle after another. You're either on the road to victory or battling monsters.

However, it remains to be seen whether Li Pan will be able to pass this test.

Actually, while Li Pan was undergoing the puncture, the doctor spoke with Lu Shiyi and Tang Yiran.

Based on the current examinations, the results are not good.

Specifically, it's very bad.

Of course, the final diagnosis depends on the puncture results, which will take two or three days to determine.

But based on what the doctor said, it's pretty much a done deal.

……

After dropping Li Pan off at her place, Lu Shiyi and her best friend stopped by a nearby dessert shop for a while.

"Eleven, why does God have to make such a kind and hardworking girl suffer like this?"

Tang Yiran was still reeling from the hospital check-up with Li Pan, and her heart was still filled with emotion.

Lu Shiyi looked at his friend.

She wanted to say that what a person will suffer in their life is never up to them.

Just like everything that has happened to her recently, each and every one of them happened unexpectedly, as if they fell from the sky and hit her on the head. Whether it was good or bad, and whether she wanted to accept it or not, it just happened.

For her, there was no other way but to face it.

Similarly, for Li Pan, no one could bear it for her; she could only rely on herself to overcome the tribulation.

"Perhaps this is a test from heaven for her," Lu Shiyi replied.

"She just finished her postgraduate entrance exam, and now she's facing another challenge. It's really too difficult..." Tang Yiran sighed again.

"Oh right, Eleven," Tang Yiran suddenly remembered what Lu Shiyi had said earlier.

"What did you mean when you said the training institution was temporarily suspended? Could it be that you were planning to expose Fu Cheng's true identity?"

Lu Shiyi remained silent.

After a moment, she replied in a gentle tone, "There is no connection between the two."

"But the latter is coming soon..."
