The test results are out.

It's a tumor.

"We are not yet sure whether the tumor is benign or malignant. You need to undergo a comprehensive examination. My suggestion is to arrange hospitalization as soon as possible." The doctor looked at the preliminary examination list.

"Tumor...then why does it affect the sense of taste?" Gu Nan didn't understand.

"A large tumor load will affect taste to a certain extent. Changes in taste can be an early diagnostic symptom of cancer, and can play an early predictive role in tumor recurrence or tumor progression, and an increase in tumor load." The doctor patiently said.

explained.

"Wait a minute, doctor, please speak slowly." Gu Nan felt a little dizzy, "Didn't you say tumor? Why is it cancer again?"

"Generally speaking, we call benign tumors tumors, while malignant tumors are called cancer. If the tumor is in the brain or other important organs, it will continue to grow until it compresses the nerves. The tumor can be removed, while cancer must

Chemotherapy.”

"Doctor--" An old man who made an appointment at the back saw that the front had been delayed for so long, so he couldn't wait and walked in.

"Wait a minute!" The usually kind doctor suddenly loudly asked the uncle to go out first.

The uncle was stunned, muttered a few words, then turned around and went out.

The doctor looked back at the lost Gu Nan with a complicated expression, "You are still so young. It is possible to be cured if treated in time. Can your parents be contacted now?"

"I...I go to school here, and they work in other provinces."

"Then you call them and ask them to come to the hospital, and then you go through the admission procedures. This matter is quite important, and your parents need to be with you." The doctor paused and then said, "In this way, I will give it to you.

Order a laboratory test, it's free and free of charge, you can do a blood cell analysis of whole blood, and we will conduct the next step of examination tomorrow after arranging hospitalization."

The doctor had shown her utmost tenderness, hoping to give some comfort to the students in front of her. Gu Nan rubbed her eyes, stood up, picked up the test sheet, bowed to the doctor, then slowly walked out of the door and took the elevator upstairs.

The laboratory below.

This is the longest elevator he has ever taken in his life.

He looked at the test sheet in his hand and it said free.

What happens after that?

Hospitalization expenses, drug expenses, and chemotherapy expenses if unfortunately diagnosed with cancer... a bottomless pit beneath his feet was slowly eating away at Gu Nan.

Life is indeed precious, but for poor students like Gu Nan, who is diligent and thrifty, sometimes it is difficult to control the balance between money and life.

Ding - the elevator reaches the first floor.

The laboratory is on the second floor.

Gu Nan walked out of the hall door.

Half of the money he earned through hard work and study was spent on his girlfriend, and the other part was sent home. Although his own savings were enough to cover the family's expenses, it was like a drop in the ocean in the face of a serious illness.

It seems that there is only one way left, borrow money...

Who can I ask to borrow it from?

The first face that came to Gu Nan's mind was Xiao Se.

"Forget it." He shook his head and rejected the idea. A man would only borrow money from a close friend when he is most desperate.

girlfriend?

He almost laughed out loud.

Thinking about it, Gu Nan walked further and further under the sunset.

The next day, Gu Nan disappeared from the world.

…

On the other side, Xiao Yitong was still waiting for Gu Nan's brother to come home to cook. Gu Nan did not show up until 12 o'clock in the night.

The mobile phone was turned off and the calls were not answered. Although she was still young, Yitong realized that something was wrong. Instead of calling the police easily, she first contacted Bai Yu, who had just returned to China.

"Gu Nan is missing? How long has he been missing?" Bai Yu was shocked on the phone.

"I haven't come back since I said I was going to help in the hotel in the morning, and the phone is also turned off." Xiao Yitong said truthfully.

Bai Yu was worried that Yitong would be alone, so he was going to transfer directly to Shanghai, "Okay, I understand, don't worry yet, I will pick you up in about two hours. Do you remember which hotel Gu Nan said he was going to work in when he left?

Yet?"

"It seems to be something, He'an Dining Room."

"He'an Dining Room... I made a note of it."

"Do you want to inform brother?" Yitong asked.

Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, "Not for now, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Yu rushed to Gu Nan's rental place in a hurry.

Yitong rubbed his eyes and opened the door for her.

"Have you called back?" Bai Yu asked.

"No."

"This is a bit troublesome..." Bai Yu thought for a while, then took out the simple breakfast he bought outside, "You take these to fill your stomach first, and have a good sleep. I will go find him."

"Okay." Xiao Yitong nodded. Although she was also worried about Gu Nan's comfort, she knew that following Bai Yu would only become a burden.

"Is there anything unusual about him these days?" Bai Yu asked before leaving.

"Hmm - nothing unusual. Brother Gu Nan has always been very good to me, but... the food he cooked has become unpalatable."

"Doesn't it taste good?" Bai Yu, who was quick-thinking, seemed to have found the problem immediately, "Tell me more specifically."

"It's just that the food cooked by Brother Gu Nan is either very salty or very bland, and then very spicy. It seems that the seasonings are not put in properly, but he can't taste it himself."

【He can't taste it himself.】

Bai Yu grasped the key to the problem.

"I understand, go to sleep now."

From the moment she got off the plane back home to the transfer, Bai Yu didn't rest except for a short nap in the sky. Although she was exhausted both physically and mentally, she couldn't rest until she found Gu Nan.

…

"He seems to be feeling unwell. He should go to the hospital." Grandpa Zuo said.

"Have you come back since?" Bai Yu asked urgently.

"No, something happened to him?"

Bai Yu shook his head helplessly, "I don't know, I'm looking for him too."

After bidding farewell to Grandpa Zuo, Bai Yu fell into trouble again.

Now the clues have come to the hospital. There are too many hospitals in Shanghai, and there are countless people going to see him. Finding Gu Nan among them is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"I can't taste it... That's the Department of Stomatology or Oral Mucosa. The hospital closest to He'an Dining Hall is..." Bai Yu looked at the navigation on his phone, feeling very anxious but thinking clearly.

There were three hospitals near He'an Dining Hall. Bai Yu was helpless and could only seek help.

She called Wen Yaqing and Bai Ruohai.

Wen Yaqing went to the nearest Union Hospital, Bai Ruohai found a friend in Anhe Hospital, and Bai Yu went to the People's Hospital by himself.

The three of them went out separately and asked all parties to contact them. It was best not to call the police until Gu Nan was confirmed to be missing.

…

"Jianghai Hospital." Bai Ruohai sent a message.

Gu Nan did not go to the above three hospitals near the dining room, but drove to Jianghai Hospital, which has relatively low fees.

"Yesterday at around ten o'clock in the morning, a college student visited the dental department. After the doctor issued an examination order, he left the hospital without conducting an examination," Bai Ruohai continued.

"He left without any examination?" Wen Yaqing frowned, "What was his preliminary diagnosis?"

"There is no trauma to the head but there is a loss of taste. It is initially determined to be a tumor in the brain, suspected of being cancer." Bai Ruohai's tone changed.
