School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 584 - 586: Liu Yiyi’s Request

Panda blood was already hard enough to find, but to find a bone marrow match for Liu Yiyi among those with panda blood type was even more difficult. It was no wonder, the Liu family was not short on money, and although leukemia was difficult to treat, if one had money, it would be relatively easier. A bone marrow transplant could cure it completely. Yet Yiyi had been ill for a few years now, and still, the transplant hadn’t been done, which truly tugged at the heartstrings.

"Believe me, you can definitely do this!" Xiao Han said earnestly.

"Mm," Liu Yiyi nodded, replying, "Since you say I can, then I believe I definitely can."

Xiao Han kept encouraging Liu Yiyi, hoping she would maintain hope in her heart and not give up on treatment.

In fact, Xiao Han felt quite hopeless inside. Why did a perfectly fine girl have to contract such a terminal illness? Xiao Han wished so much that Liu Yiyi was just suffering from a common cold that would resolve itself with a week’s persistence.

But this wasn’t a common cold; it was a severe illness. For many, it was even a death sentence. Such illnesses can be more than many families can bear. Even if the treatment goes smoothly, the cost is at least five to six hundred thousand, not including the ongoing and lifelong medication expenses. And if the treatment doesn’t go well, multiple rounds of bone marrow matching could cost an astronomical amount.

All Xiao Han could do was encourage her, comfort her, and help her see the world’s beauty again.

Soon, the maid called to say that dinner was ready.

"Let’s go, we should head back," Liu Yiyi said with a smile.

"Mm!" Xiao Han nodded.

The two walked slowly toward the villa, Liu Yiyi taking the initiative to link her arm with Xiao Han’s and snuggling on his shoulder, her face beaming with a brilliant smile.

The dining room in the villa was large, the table long, covered with lavish dishes.

"Let’s eat!" Liu Yiyi called out to Xiao Han.

At that moment, the maid brought over hand sanitizer to wash their hands. They both washed their hands carefully, thoroughly.

"By the way, where are your parents?" Xiao Han asked. "Aren’t they coming back to eat?"

"Don’t wait for them," Liu Yiyi replied, then said, "They won’t be coming back to eat."

"Mm." Xiao Han knew about Liu Yiyi’s father’s marital status and that her father had married a much younger woman and had two more children. This villa was an early purchase by the Liu family. The name on the deed was Liu Yiyi’s. Hence, Yiyi’s stepmother resolutely refused to live here because she felt it brought bad luck.

Liu Yiyi’s mother had become seriously ill and passed away when Yiyi was young, and to think that when Liu Yiyi turned eighteen, she contracted leukemia. Her stepmother, who was terrified of death, dared not stay there. She asked Father Liu to buy another villa elsewhere, and Father Liu also lived over there most of the time. However, he would often come back to see his dearly beloved daughter.

Liu Yiyi never held any resentment toward her father.

During dinner, Xiao Han was very cooperative. Liu Yiyi didn’t have much appetite and ate very little, just half a bowl of rice and some minced meat soup.

Xiao Han, on the other hand, had a great appetite and took big bites of the food.

Liu Yiyi watched in amazement at the pace at which he ate. It was the first time she had seen someone eat so quickly, and it genuinely shocked her. This was the first time in her life she had seen someone eat so fast and with such gusto.

Seeing Xiao Han enjoying his meal so much, Liu Yiyi also ended up eating half a bowl more of rice.

After the meal, Liu Yiyi patted her belly and said, "I’m so full."

"That’s all you ate?" Xiao Han chuckled, then said, "You should eat a bit more."

"That was plenty," Liu Yiyi replied, pursing her lips, "You’re such a glutton, eating so much."

"Haha…" Xiao Han laughed heartily.

After some rest, Xiao Han suggested it was time for him to leave.

"Are you leaving already?" Liu Yiyi sounded a bit reluctant.

"It’s time to go back!" Xiao Han nodded and said, "I have things to take care of at school, and the sports meet is coming up soon. I need to do some preparation."

"That’s right, it’s in less than a week," Liu Yiyi nodded and said, "I’ll definitely come to cheer for you then."

"Mm!" Xiao Han nodded.

Xiao Han stood up to leave, and Liu Yiyi escorted him to the villa’s door, watching as his car drove away from the villa.

Watching Xiao Han leave, Liu Yiyi leaned desolately against a door post. She seemed like a bird waiting in its nest, longing for its mother’s return.

No sooner had Xiao Han left than Liu Yiyi’s father arrived by car.

"Yiyi…" Father Liu got out of the car and said, "Look what I’ve brought for you."

He held a box in his arms.

Liu Yiyi gave a faint smile, saying, "Dad, you’re here?"

"Mm, the latest Apple set," Father Liu hurriedly said, "It’s a product that will be released in September. I arranged a special internal order, cost me several thousand US dollars. Do you like it?"

"Thank you!" Liu Yiyi said with a slight smile.

Father Liu pulled his own daughter into the house. He had always doted on this daughter since she was a child. After marrying a young and beautiful wife, the wife was dead set against living with Liu Yiyi and even restricted Yiyi financially, not allowing her husband to spend money on this daughter. Therefore, Father Liu could only sneak around to see his daughter.

After entering the house, Liu Yiyi looked at her father and said, "Dad, I’m going to the sports center to watch the games in a few days."

"Why?" Father Liu was stunned for a moment.

"Some students from our school are participating, and I want to go and cheer for them," Liu Yiyi explained.

"There are lots of people there, lots of germs," Father Liu shook his head. "Better not go. What if you catch a cold from the germs? For you, that could be fatal, you know?"

"I know," Liu Yiyi nodded. "But I want to go."

Father Liu sighed, conflicted. He loved his daughter too much, and now, with her seriously ill, no one knew how long she had left. After a long thought, he still nodded in agreement, "All right, I’ll drive you there when the time comes. I’ll go and get a protective suit!"

"No, I don’t want others to know that I..." Liu Yiyi lowered her head.

Every time she went to school, Liu Yiyi never wore a protective suit, nor did she want to when going out. She didn’t want others to know she was special, and she certainly didn’t want people to know her unfortunate fate.

Father Liu couldn’t argue with his daughter and could only helplessly agree, "Okay then. But you have to listen to me on that day."

"Okay!" Liu Yiyi nodded.

Father Liu knew about the upcoming sports event that had been widely promoted throughout the province recently. It was after all, a national competition. Especially with Z Province as the host, the publicity had to be top-notch. How could Father Liu be indifferent to an event held on his own turf?

Father Liu decided to get a VIP ticket. This way, she could be seated in an area with fewer people and reduce the chance of his daughter being infected by germs.

...

Leaving the Liu Family, Xiao Han drove back to school.

He barely parked his car in the faculty parking lot when he encountered Lan Yudie.

"Xiao Han?" Lan Yudie looked at Xiao Han with surprise written on her face.

"Xiao Yu?" Xiao Han chuckled.

"Naughty boy, where did you run off to this afternoon?" Lan Yudie frowned.

"I had some errands to run," Xiao Han smiled. "Isn’t the National University Students Sports Event coming up soon? I had to prepare some things, so I went shopping this afternoon."

"What things?" Lan Yudie’s voice was cold, her disbelief evident.

"Track suits and spikes..." Xiao Han listed them off like treasures in a chest.

It sounded professional enough to Lan Yudie, so she took him at his word. She pursed her lips and asked, "You had to go shopping during class time? Couldn’t you go after?"

"It’s not easy to choose in a hurry," Xiao Han hurriedly explained. "I need time to find what fits me."

"Fine," Lan Yudie reluctantly nodded.

After all, she wasn’t too knowledgeable about these things. She just knew Xiao Han was going to participate in the National University Students Sports Event, and he seemed to be busy with it recently. The school was placing great importance on it too; one could tell from the school’s actions that this was a very significant event.

Seeing that he was about to get away, a hint of joy appeared at the corner of Xiao Han’s mouth.

With a smile on his face, Xiao Han asked, "Xiao Yu, where were you off to?"

"Just went out to have dinner," Lan Yudie said, pressing her lips together.

"With whom?" Xiao Han asked, slightly puzzled.

"A dinner with the teachers from our group!" Lan Yudie chuckled. "We went to the Hanmen Restaurant."

"Haha..." Xiao Han laughed heartily. "That’s good, the taste at Hanmen Restaurant isn’t bad, right?"

"Everyone thought it was pretty good," Lan Yudie giggled, then said, "Now it’s become a go-to place for faculty meals. And they all like it there. Xiao Han, if they ever found out the big restaurant is run by a student from our school, I bet they’d be shocked."

"When Fang Hao opened the Yujian Restaurant, why didn’t anyone drop their jaws?" Xiao Han smirked and asked.

"Fang Hao is a second-generation rich kid; it’s no surprise he used family money to open a restaurant," Lan Yudie shook her head. "But you’re different. You don’t have that kind of background, nor have you used a penny from home. You’ve worked your way up on your own. So if the teachers found out, they would be pretty shocked."

"It’s okay," Xiao Han smiled. "China is so large, I believe many people are more outstanding than me."

"But there’s no second Xiao Han, is there?" Lan Yudie smiled at Xiao Han.

...

May 15th, National University Students Sports Event.

Similarly, for Z Province, this is the biggest and most solemn event hosted in recent years. Therefore, no problems could be allowed to occur at this event.
