Chapter 1 - Day 0

The typhoon on Xiangdao came quickly and urgently.

When Huo Changzhi's flight landed at the outlying island airport, thunder and lightning struck near the wing, and a long, thin blue-white electric light struck the air layer.

He raised his hand to turn off the reading light, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

When Huo Changzhi received a call from the hospital, he was mediating. When he was exhausted, the secretary pushed in and said that there was an urgent matter and he had to answer him in person. The hospital told him that his brother Huo Jiu'an had an acute myocarditis during the full marathon, and his condition was very serious. He asked him to come to Xiangdao as soon as possible.

All this seems unreal.

Huo Jiu'an had not contacted him for a long time. Their parents was divorced peacefully twenty years ago. Huo Changzhi stayed in Haishi with his father, and Huo Jiu'an went to Xiangdao with his mother.

Huo Changzhi is a workaholic with a cold personality. When his mother passed away a few years ago, he came to Xiangdao to attend the funeral. Later, because of official business, he never asked Huo Jiu'an to sit out. He did not expect this meeting. It's such a thrilling situation.

Huo Jiu'an's personality is better than him, and he has a nice relationship with his father. He also knows that his father had discovered a malignant tumor not long ago and had undergona a local lung resection. He strongly urged Huo Changzhi not to notify his father.

"The eventful autumn."

This word suddenly popped out of Huo Changzhi's heart. August is not yet autumn, but the rain has made the temperature in Xiangdao look like autumn.

The fuselage trembled a few times during the violent earthquake when it landed, banged heavily on the ground, and was still swinging left and right, making the hearts of the passengers fell down.

Huo Changzhi rushed to Ren'an Hospital. Huo Jiu'an wore a breathing mask and slept in the intensive care unit for observation.

The doctor briefly introduced Huo Jiu'an's situation to him. In a nutshell, the situation is not good and they must prepare for the worst.

Huo Jiu'an has a strong willpower and a strong desire to survive, but to fight death, what he needs more is the little luck that he lacks. At five o'clock, he woke up and insisted on seeing his brother.

Huo Changzhi wore an isolation gown and walked into this icy ward.

"Ge¹," Huo Jiu'an called him, his voice was weak but still clear, "Listen to me."

Huo Changzhi listened carefully.

"If I can't make it through, please do something for me and find a person named Xu Chu... In Room 1603, Block B, Haichang Building, you must be fast. He can't get out alone. I want to donate my cornea to him," Huo Jiu'an said in a hurry, because the visit time was only five minutes, "...you have to help me look at him and see him heal his eyes... don't tell him about me... just say I went to work overseas. The door key is on the inner layer of my bag, and there is a duplicate in my office, the password is ucs85d36, which contains… design drawings, you have to bring them together, otherwise..."

Huo Changzhi looked at Huo Jiu'an's anxious expression, he finally nodded.

"Thank you," Huo Jiu'an wanted to reach out and hold Huo Changzhi, but finally only moved his fingertips a little, before eagerly said a series of words, having exhausted all his energy, "Haichang...Haichang Building… password..."

He wanted to repeat it again, his chest was suffocated, he had to hissing inhale.

"Room 1603, Block B, Haichang Building, Xu Chu," Huo Changzhi repeated for him, "Password ucs85d36, take the design drawings, I remember."

"You have to... look at him..." Huo Jiu'an worried he don't understand enough.

"I'll watch him heal his eyes," Huo Changzhi said, "I won't break my promise." Huo Jiu'an was relieved. The whole person seemed to have exhausted his last life force, his hands were hanging softly beside the bed and closed his eyes.

If it weren't for the line of the electrocardiograph that was still moving, suggesting his physical signs, Huo Changzhi would almost suspect that he had left the world.

When the visiting time is out, the nurse politely took him, and when he was about to walk out of the intensive care unit, Huo Jiu'an called him again: "Brother...help me tell him… I'm sorry."

Huo Changzhi waited in the corridor for a while, thinking of Huo Jiu'an's request.

It's not difficult. Huo Jiu'an said that the person living in room 1603 is called Xu Chu...

Huo Changzhi felt that the name was a bit familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he heard it before. He just need to go and take a look.
