"Liu Xin, you're back?"

"Why did you go back to your hometown?"

Seeing Liu Xin return, Zhao Kanghao and the others immediately stepped forward to ask.

Qin Yun also came forward to inquire.

But Liu Xin didn't say much, he just tidied up his things. The few people in the dormitory exchanged a glance, clearly something must have happened in Liu Xin's family.

But he was unwilling to speak out.

Originally, Qin Yun saw that he didn't say much and didn't ask more, but later Liu Xin came to him alone.

"Brother Qin, could you lend me some money?"

Finding Qin Yun, Liu Xin directly brought up the matter of borrowing money, his weary face showed a look of hope.

"Borrow money?"

Qin Yun thought for a moment and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"Thirty thousand."

Liu Xin paused for a moment and finally said.

He looked at Qin Yun with a hint of hope in his eyes, even a trace of pleading.

Qin Yun didn't speak. Thirty thousand was not a small amount, and he and Liu Xin were just roommates, their relationship was not that deep.

To borrow such a large amount right away, although he had money, he wasn't foolish enough to lend it out just because someone asked.

"Can I ask why you need to borrow so much money?"

Liu Xin was silent for a moment and finally said, "My sister has leukemia."

"Leukemia?" Qin Yun was taken aback.

Liu Xin fell silent for a moment and then explained his situation.

A while ago, his sister wasn't feeling well and had a fever. They went to a small clinic in the village, bought some cold medicine from the doctor there, but after a few days, it didn't have any effect.

Later, besides the constant fever, Liu Xin's sister even began to have nosebleeds.

They went back to the small clinic, where the doctor seemed to notice something unusual and quickly suggested that his family take Liu Xin's sister to the county hospital for a check-up. The doctor personally drove them to the hospital.

The test results were like a bolt from the blue—Liu Xin's sister was diagnosed with leukemia.

The treatment level at the county hospital wasn't sufficient, and the doctors recommended transferring her to a big city. When Liu Xin learned of the test results, he rushed back overnight. They first sought treatment in the city nearby, but the medical standards in his hometown's city were still lacking. The city's hospital suggested they go to a well-known hospital in a big city for treatment. With the hospital's help, Liu Xin's family eventually brought his sister to Jinling.

In fact, Liu Xin had been back in Jinling for some time already.

His family was very poor, their hometown was a small village, and the living conditions of the people in the village were just average.

The cost of treating leukemia was too high, almost like a bottomless pit for Liu Xin's family.

Liu Xin's parents borrowed money from relatives and friends. Some lent them money, but most people, knowing Liu Xin's family situation, didn't think they could pay it back, so they were unwilling to lend.

Those willing to lend were mostly doing so with the mindset that they wouldn't get it back, and they didn't lend much either.

So now, all together, they only had a few thousand dollars.

Afterwards, Liu Xin's parents also asked others to sell their old house.

However, the village's location was remote, and the possibility of someone buying it was very small. Even if it sold, getting twelve or thirteen thousand would already be very good.

Of course, the larger possibility was that they wouldn't be able to sell it at all.

They still had to find various ways to raise money.

Liu Xin tried online medical assistance, but it wasn't very effective. When he came to Jinling, Liu Xin also returned to school to apply for aid from the school's charity fund. But the school's funds were limited, and in a big university, there were many students applying for help. He wasn't a special case, and the chances of approval were small. Even if approved, the amount disbursed wouldn't be much.

The ideal treatment for leukemia would cost at least tens of thousands.

"Brother Qin, I'll make a note of the loan, and I'll definitely pay it back in the future," Liu Xin said.

His voice was a bit hoarse, and he seemed to have not slept for days.

Looking at the pleading Liu Xin, this time Qin Yun didn't hesitate. He nodded directly and said, "Okay, I'll lend it to you."

He's not some saint, hearing Liu Xin say his sister had leukemia, he didn't immediately take out a lot of money and say generous things like there's no need to pay it back.

There are too many unfortunate people in the world, and he couldn't take care of everyone.

He lent thirty thousand, only providing help within his ability. And he also didn't expect Liu Xin to be able to repay him.

"If you need any more help, you can come to me again."

After transferring thirty thousand over, Qin Yun hesitated for a moment and still said.

They were classmates after all, he wasn't that cold-blooded.

"Thank you, Brother Qin." Seeing Qin Yun say this, Liu Xin was extremely grateful, thanking him repeatedly.

He solemnly wrote a loan note, even adding interest.

Afterwards, Liu Xin left again, and after staying at school for a while, he went to a ward in the Tertiary Hospital in Jinling's Gulou area.

On the hospital bed lay a girl who looked about eleven or twelve years old. Her face was pale and her hair had been shaved off. She hadn't been very spirited, but upon seeing Liu Xin, she immediately became delighted and called, "Brother."

"Dan." Seeing his sister, Liu Xin's eyes flashed with a hint of heartache, but he still forced a smile on his face and said.

"How are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?"

He approached and asked softly.

"Brother, there are many places on my body that feel uncomfortable." Hearing Liu Xin's question, the little girl said with a bit of grievance.

Hearing his sister's words, Liu Xin comforted, "Be good, Dan. Once we cure your illness, we can go home."

At that moment, there were two other people by the hospital bed, one was a man with a weathered face. The man looked like he was in his sixties, with a sallow complexion and a hunched back—he was Liu Xin's father, Liu Guomin, who had previously brought Liu Xin to the dormitory.

Beside the man was a woman who also appeared very aged, her head was almost full of white hair.

At this moment, they were having a meal.

And it was just plain rice, not a single dish. The two elders were just mixing the rice with a little hot water to eat.

"Xin, you're back." Seeing his son, Liu Guomin quickly stood up.

Liu Xin said a few words to his sister, nodded at him, and the two of them walked out of the ward.

"What about the money..." Liu Guomin couldn't help but ask.

He had always looked old, and it seemed like these past few days had aged him even further, his body was more hunched than before.

Now, the money they had at the hospital was almost gone, and no one was willing to lend him any more money.

"Dad, I borrowed a bit of money from my classmates," Liu Xin said.

"How much did you borrow?" Hearing his son's words, Liu Guomin quickly asked.

"Forty thousand."

Liu Xin had borrowed not only from Qin Yun, but also some money from Zhao Kanghao and others.

Hearing that his son had borrowed so much money, enough for his daughter's chemotherapy, Liu Guomin's worried expression slightly improved, but he still worried: "Borrowing so much money, how will we ever repay it?"
