Huayu: I Have a Doraemon

Chapter 94 Taking Medicine (Please continue reading)

The door to the master bedroom was half open.

Lin An followed Gao Yong inside, his steps unconsciously becoming much lighter.

The room was small, with an old-fashioned wooden bed against the wall and a large number of medicine bottles piled on the bedside table.

There was a faint floral fragrance in the air, like gardenias or jasmine.

There was a person lying on the bed.

Lin An only glanced at it before stopping in his tracks.

It was an extreme kind of haggardness.

Her short, ear-length hair was already half gray, and her ashen complexion paired with her sunken cheeks gave the impression that she might faint at any moment.

Lin An stood there, feeling as if something was stuck in his throat.

This was not the first time he had seen a patient suffering from a chronic illness, but those with such alarming symptoms were extremely rare.

Gao Yuanyuan's mother turned her head to the side, resting her head on a stack of pillows, her breathing barely audible: "My name is Yu Dandan. I hope you can see how I look."

"That's not true; I was just being unreasonable."

Lin An now fully understands Gao Yong's caution.

In this state, any damage caused by any medication would be fatal.

Moreover, people who take medication long-term will inevitably have drug residues in their bodies.

Without knowing the ingredients of the medication, it's impossible to know whether the new medication will interact with the old one.

Gao Yong walked to the bedside, bent down, and pulled the blanket up a little. He said in a very soft voice, "Mom, he's Lin An, Yuanyuan's... um, friend."

Yu Dandan shifted her gaze from her son's face to Lin An, paused for two seconds, and then her lips twitched slightly: "I've heard Yuanyuan mention you before, saying you're a very interesting person."

Lin An didn't know how to respond, so he just stood there and nodded.

Gao Yong straightened up, looked at Lin An, and his gaze made the meaning clear:

You've seen the situation; don't cause trouble.

Lin An nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Not to mention Gao Yong, even he is a little confused now.

"What's wrong? Didn't you come to deliver medicine?" Yu Dandan asked with a light laugh.

"mom!"

Gao Yong said with a serious expression, "You can't joke around with your own body!"

Lin An nodded in agreement, "Yes. Auntie should focus on getting better first. Even if she wants to try something, there's no rush."

It's clear that this isn't the first time Yu Dandan's condition has relapsed; the panacea can wait until she's feeling better before trying it.

As for filming, we can just find someone at the Shanghai Theatre Academy; it's just a bit more troublesome.

No matter how much he desires success, he cannot gamble with human lives.

Gao Yong glanced at Lin An unexpectedly, his gaze softening considerably, and his impression of the man changed drastically in an instant.

However, he still wouldn't give him a friendly look!

Yu Dandan looked at Lin An and said with a gentle smile, "He is indeed an interesting person. You are the one who should be the one persisting."

"But as you can see, I've taken countless medications over the years, and it's impossible for them not to conflict with each other. Every time I take or change medication, I'm actually taking a risk."

Her voice became weak as she spoke too much at once: "Since you're willing to test the drug on yourself, why can't I?"

Lin An shook his head: "It's different."

Yu Dandan gave a faint smile. "To me, it's all the same."

Lin An frowned slightly, sensing the despair in the other person's words.

Gao Yong, who had intended to continue his persuasion, was speechless for a moment.

After giving birth to his younger sister at an advanced age, his mother's health deteriorated. Coupled with her chronic bronchitis from years ago, she has been confined to the house and constantly on medication.

Gao Yuanyuan walked in at this moment, her footsteps very light.

She walked to the bedside, bent down, and tucked the stray hairs that had fallen across her mother's forehead behind her ear: "Don't talk anymore, rest for a while."

Yu Dandan glanced at her daughter, her lips twitched slightly, but she didn't object and obediently closed her eyes.

His breathing gradually calmed down.

Gao Yuanyuan straightened up, turned around, and looked past Lin An, landing on Gao Yong's face.

The brother and sister looked at each other for a moment, neither of them speaking, yet it was as if they had completed a silent conversation.

Gao Yong finally sighed and nodded silently.

Gao Yuanyuan withdrew her gaze, walked up to Lin An, and took the transparent glass bottle from his hand.

"I'll take the medicine."

She said earnestly, "Thank you."

Lin An looked at her reddened eyes and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He nodded.

Gao Yong stood to the side, his brows furrowed, his lips twitching several times, but in the end he said nothing, turned and walked out of the room.

The room fell silent.

Gao Yuanyuan looked down at the medicine bottle in her hand, her thumb unconsciously rubbing the bottle twice.

"You should go back first."

"6

She looked up at Lin An, her voice now as steady as ever: "There's still a lot of work waiting for you in Shanghai."

"Okay, you should also be careful here."

Lin An said softly, "With both lead actors injured, there will definitely be a wave of public opinion, and Zhang Guoli won't be in a good mood."

Gao Yuanyuan shook her head slightly: "I'm just a minor character, he won't deliberately cause me trouble."

Lin An thought she was really naive.

Haven't you ever heard of picking on the weakest one?

However, it's unlikely that Zhang Guoli, who has remained a prominent figure in the industry for so many years, is the type to easily take his anger out on others.

"In that case, I'll be going," Lin An said.

Gao Yuanyuan hummed in agreement but did not see him off.

Lin An turned and walked towards the door.

As he passed the door, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the pile of medicine bottles of various sizes on the bedside table through the mirror. He paused for a moment, then continued walking.

In the corridor, Gao Yong leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets. When he saw him come out, he straightened up, his lips moved, but he only said two words: "Take care."

Lin An nodded without saying anything more.

In the living room, Doraemon was sitting on the sofa, his round hand supporting his chin. When he saw Lin An come out, he immediately jumped up, his face full of tension.

Lin Anchong shook his head slightly, indicating "we'll talk about it when we get back."

Doraemon opened his mouth, then closed it again, obediently following behind Lin An as they left the room one after the other.

bedroom.

Gao Yuanyuan looked down at the medicine bottle in her hand, her fingers tightening slightly.

She pursed her lips, stared at the pill for a long time, her eyelashes trembling.

After a brief silence, she sighed deeply, opened the bedside table drawer, and put the medicine bottle inside.

"You like him, don't you?"

On the bed, Yu Dandan had already opened her eyes at some point.

Gao Yuanyuan's fingers paused on the drawer handle. She didn't turn around, but her ears were flushed.

She mumbled, "I...I'm not sure either."

Looking at her daughter's flushed profile, Yu Dandan's lips slowly curved into a smile: "He does seem a bit more reliable than the ones you chose before."

"mom!"

Gao Yuanyuan turned around abruptly, her face flushed with embarrassment, both angry and anxious.

Yu Dandan looked at her daughter with a smile, wanting to say something, but was stopped by a violent cough.

The cough came on suddenly and violently, as if it were trying to cough up all the internal organs.

Gao Yuanyuan's expression changed drastically. Almost instinctively, she rushed to the bedside table, opened the drawer, and quickly rummaged through a pile of medicine bottles.

"Mom, the medicine."

Gao Yuanyuan held the pill to her mother's lips with her other hand, while holding a water glass.

Yu Dandan didn't take it, but instead pointed to the transparent medicine bottle in the cabinet.

Gao Yuanyuan's hand froze in mid-air.

"Mom..." Her voice was a little strained.

"Bring it here." Yu Dandan's tone was soft, but it brooked no refusal.

After a brief hesitation, Gao Yuanyuan took out the medicine bottle, unscrewed the cap, and poured the pills into her mother's palm.

Yu Dandan looked down at the small white pill.

After a brief silence, she put the pill in her mouth and swallowed it with the water her daughter handed her.

Gao Yong, who rushed over, was stunned by what he saw, both shocked and furious.
