Turning around, Su Hang looked at Xue Qi and said, "Do you still have that 'Ripe Melon Falls' water?"
"Of course!" Xue Qi nodded and then smiled, "But I don't have much left. What? Brother Hang, do you want it? If you do, I can give you a discount. Although I'm a bit short on cash lately, I won't let you down given our relationship."
Su Hang quickly stopped him, "I want to put a little on your mouth and see if you still talk so much."
"Uh..." Xue Qi's enthusiasm vanished, and his face was filled with black lines.
---
On the weekend, at a men's clinic in the city center.
"Son, I've examined you, and there's basically nothing wrong!" In the examination room, an old doctor wrote on the medical record while speaking to a young man sitting across the table.
"Really, Doctor? I'm really fine?" Xu Feng stood up, extremely agitated, and grabbed the doctor's hand that was writing the medical record, "They applied some medicine to me, called 'Ripe Melon Falls' water, saying it would make it fall off on its own."
The old doctor laughed, "Nonsense, how could such a medicine exist in this world? If it did, what would be the point of doctors like us? Your problem is psychological. I'll prescribe you some medicine to calm your nerves and help you rest. You'll be fine in a few days."
The two nurses beside him couldn't hold back their laughter, clutching their stomachs.
"Really? Are you sure I'm fine?"
Xu Feng didn't care if others were laughing at him; he would rather it be a joke. He didn't believe in such a magical medicine, but that night, Xue Qi and Wu Sanxing spoke so seriously. Could it be a lie? Or just to scare him?
"Definitely, absolutely, and for sure." The old doctor, after laughing, became serious, "Son, if you keep this up, I'll think you're here to cause trouble."
"It's not that, Doctor. He seems to have that... problem..." Tan Lili stood behind Xu Feng. The two of them had somehow ended up together again. As she spoke, Tan Lili blushed, finding it hard to say.
"That... problem?" The old doctor was confused, "What problem?"
Tan Lili's face turned red, and Xu Feng felt like he wanted to find a hole to hide in.
The old doctor realized something and gestured for the nurses in the room to leave.
After closing the door, Xu Feng felt a bit better. After a long pause, he said to the old doctor, "Doctor, it's not working!"
"Be more specific." The doctor, knowing what Xu Feng meant, quickly opened a new page in the medical record and began asking Xu Feng detailed questions.
"I can't really explain it." Xu Feng's face was grim, "A few days ago, I still had some feeling, but in the past two days, I've felt nothing. It's like it's not even mine anymore!"
"Are you joking?" The old doctor frowned, looking at Xu Feng. He had just examined Xu Feng and found everything normal. The medicine Xu Feng described, which would make it fall off on its own, was something he had never heard of in his decades of practice. It was completely unrealistic.
"I'm not joking." Xu Feng was almost in tears. He hadn't even told his parents, let alone joke about it with others.
"Doctor, could you examine him again?" Tan Lili spoke up, knowing Xu Feng's condition better than anyone.
"Are you questioning my professional skills?" The old doctor frowned.
"No, no, I just mean, another check-up would make us feel better," Tan Lili quickly waved her hands.
Xu Feng also forced a smile.
"I have other patients!" The old doctor, with a stern face, wrote a prescription and handed it over, "Don't believe those nonsense. Young people should go out more, see more things, and open their minds. This is a psychological issue. Go to the pharmacy and get the medicine!"
The two were then ushered out of the examination room.
"Damn it!" Outside the examination room, Xu Feng spat.
Tan Lili said, "Feng, don't worry. It's probably just a psychological issue. It'll be fine. I'll go get the medicine for you."
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this mess," Tan Lili's silence was better than her words, which immediately drew Xu Feng's curses.
Tan Lili lowered her head, not daring to speak.
"Help me to the bathroom!" Xu Feng grunted. He had been injured by Su Hang and, although he had temporarily gotten off the wheelchair, he was still having difficulty moving.
Tan Lili quickly helped Xu Feng to the bathroom.
Watching Xu Feng enter the bathroom, Tan Lili stood outside, quietly wiping her tears. How did things come to this? Who was to blame?
Herself?
Vanity?
She just wanted a better life, to stay in the city after graduation, and have someone to rely on. Was that wrong? For a woman, wasn't that what she should pursue?
If she had to blame someone, it could only be that person. That person had destroyed everything she should have had. Xu Feng, who had lost his ability to have children due to Su Hang, she could still accept, as Xu Feng's family was wealthy, and money was more important to her than anything else. Besides, even if he couldn't have children, it didn't mean he was completely useless. But now, Xu Feng was truly useless.
"Ah!"
Just as Tan Lili's thoughts were in turmoil, a piercing scream came from the bathroom, filled with fear, attracting the attention of many people.
"Xu Feng?"
Recognizing Xu Feng's voice, Tan Lili's heart skipped a beat. She didn't care about the men's room and rushed in.
In the bathroom, a stall was already surrounded by several people. When Tan Lili pushed through the crowd and saw the scene inside the stall, she couldn't help but cover her mouth.
"It's gone, it's gone..."
In the stall was Xu Feng. His pants were still down, and he had fallen to the ground, staring fixedly at the drain, his eyes lifeless, muttering to himself.
Tan Lili looked into the drain and was completely stunned. There was a lump in the drain, which, at first glance, looked like a pile of feces.
"How could this happen?"
Tan Lili covered her mouth, disbelieving, tears welling up in her eyes, as if her dreams had collapsed. She turned and ran out.
"Whoosh!"
Unfortunately, a strong stream of water came down, instantly washing away everything in the drain.
"No!"
A piercing wail echoed through the hospital building for a long time.
