Chapter 1: Blood draw

In the darkness, Jibai smelled the disinfectant water.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the cold white tiles on the walls of the hospital.
Suddenly, there was a slight tingling pain in the left arm.
Ji Bai lowered his head and saw that the sharp needle had penetrated her white skin, and the red blood crawled out slowly along the slender pipe, like an earthworm.
She shrank back sharply, instinctively trying to remove the blood vessel.
At this time, a pair of warm palms pressed her shoulders hard.
"Don't be afraid for nothing, it will be done soon."
Jibai turned her head and saw the gentle and kind smiling face of her mother Tao Jiazhi.
At this time, Tao Jiazhi has thick black hair and collagen on her face. There are not many wrinkles. She looks very young and has a much gentler expression.
Jibai was reborn, returning to the year he was seventeen.
Mother said softly in her ear: "Don't be afraid, just draw a bag of blood, for nothing is a great hero to protect my sister."
This sentence, mother Tao Jiazhi began to chant as she remembered, and she continued to recite it until she was twenty-five years old.
Sister Ji Fei Fei was diagnosed with hemophilia since she was born. She has severe coagulation dysfunction and requires regular blood transfusion.
It happened that she is the most precious RH-negative AB blood, which is the so-called "panda blood", which is hardly found in the blood bank of the hospital. Her parents were RH-negative type A and type B blood respectively, and they could not give her a blood transfusion.
In order to treat her sister, the parents desperately decided to have another child to serve as the sister's "living blood bank".
So the next year, Jibai was born. Fortunately, Jibai is also RH-negative with AB blood type, which exactly matches the blood type of her sister.
So, the nightmare of Jibai began...
In the early years, my sister's physical condition was not bad, the complications were not serious, and the blood was transfused once every six months at most.
But after college, her condition began to worsen, so the frequency of blood draws ranged from six months to three months, to one month or even a few days.
In the previous life, Jibai was unwilling to be blood drawn all the time. She was afraid of pain, so her parents morally kidnapped her. If she didn't do this, she would have no conscience and care for family love.
Because of frequent blood draws, Jibai suffers from anemia. She never wants to give her sister a blood transfusion anymore, but her parents fiercely criticize her. They even kept her in the hospital for forced blood transfusion.
Later, Jibai died unexpectedly, and his mother cried, crying that Fei had no blood supply, what can he do in the future!
In the eyes of "gentle and loving" parents, her only value is just her sister's "living blood bank"!
Back at the age of seventeen, Jibai did not want to repeat the tragedy of her previous life. She wanted to have a normal life.
While she was stunned, the doctor had already drawn 200cc of blood and said to her mother Tao Jiazhi: "Go back and cook some blood-producing meals for her, such as fried pork liver, and make up as much as possible."
Tao Jiazhi nodded repeatedly and touched Jibai's head: "Baibai is so good, what you want to eat at night, mom will make it for you."
Ji Bai tilted her head slightly, avoiding her caress.
She got up and went out, leaning against the cold wall of the hospital, her brain was short of blood for a while, and she was a little dizzy.
By coincidence, she happened to see Ji Fifei taking the test sheet and asked with concern: "Xiaobai, are you okay? Are you uncomfortable?"
In the previous life, her sister cared and loved her so much, and Jibai believed that she was really good to her.
Under the cover of this hypocritical appearance, Ji Feifei deprived and squeezed her endlessly, not only for her body and health, but also for her parents' preference and relatives' care...
All the resources that Jibai deserved while growing up were robbed by Ji Feifei.
Now, she won't be fooled anymore.
Jibai avoided her indifferently, turned around, adapting to the dizziness of her body.
Tao Jiazhi gently raised Ji Fei Fei and rolled up his sleeve, waiting for the doctor to process fresh blood.
Ji Fei Fei looked at her younger sister in the corner and said worriedly: "My younger sister seems to be blaming me and ignores me. Mom, I feel very guilty."
Tao Jiazhi comforted: "It is only natural for her to supply blood to you. Who made you sisters?"
Ji Fei Fei lowered her head sadly, and said sincerely: "Sister, don't blame me, okay?"
Again.
Ji Feifei disguised herself as the poorest child in the world, and the whole family felt sorry for her because she was not only sick, but also full of guilt.
Jibai fiercely resisted, but was accused by relatives, saying that you didn't think of your sister at all, how pitiful your sister was crying, your parents gave you life, what happened to your sister's blood loss!
Under pressure from family members, Jibai rolled up his sleeves time and time again.
For example, at this moment, her mother Tao Jiazhi reprimanded: "For nothing, my sister cares about you, so how can you ignore your sister!"
At this moment, Jibai calmed down a lot, and said lightly: "Sister thinks too much. It is right for us to help each other. I don't blame you."
Ji Feifei was startled slightly, then nodded vigorously.
It was six o'clock in the evening after the blood transfusion, and his father Ji Mingzhi's Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance of the hospital.
After his mother got into the car with her sister, Ji Mingzhi asked, "What did the doctor say?"
"Fei Fei's condition is fairly stable."
"Then rest assured."
Jibai remembers that high school was a stable period for her sister's illness, and the frequency of blood transfusion was not high, at most once every six months, which was a range that she could bear.
However, after her sister was 23 years old, her condition relapsed and the frequency of blood draws surged. Finally, Jibai also suffered from anemia.
Jibai secretly made up his mind to use this period to escape from the control of his parents and stop being controlled by them.
Since there is a chance to do it again, she does not want to be an accessory for her sister to continue her life.
Jibai tilted his head against the car window, secretly thinking about the future.
The mother saw the listless Ji Bai through the rearview mirror, and asked with concern: "Wai Bai, are you tired?"
Jibai "hmm" said: "A little bit."
So Tao Jiazhi said: "Then you can take a nap in the car, and you have to memorize the manuscript when you go home. It's not a few days since the reporter's interview. You must fully cooperate with your sister."
"I know."
Ji Feifei has been reported by the news media in the past because of his tenacious fight against diseases, but now he is a little famous and has become an inspirational celebrity on Weibo and a big V with millions of fans.
In order to further promote her positive and sunny image, Dexin High School invited reporters from CCTV to organize a large-scale inspirational interview.
Jibai was also invited to the stage to tell the story of her sister's struggle with illness.
In the last life, when a reporter asked Jibai if he volunteered to donate blood to her sister, Jibai's answer was very straightforward: No, I don't want to, because the blood drawing is very painful.
Later, when she said "not willing, it hurts to draw blood", she was crazy dissed by angry netizens.
"Selfish, no conscience!"
"Have you ever thought about your sick sister? Do you hurt her?"
"It's just an injection, what are you hypocritical!"
Jibai suffered online violence from countless strangers, and his emotions collapsed.
Now, she won't be stupid.

The on-site interview was arranged in the school's lecture classroom, and the two sisters came to the backstage early to prepare.
In front of the bright makeup mirror, the makeup artist was applying foundation to Jibai. After choosing several shades, she felt dissatisfied. The little girl's skin is too white! And she was moisturized and shiny, without any blemishes, even the most porcelain-white liquid foundation could not line her skin.
"Little girl, your skin is so good!"
The makeup artist sighed, not only is the skin white, but she also looks beautiful. She has put on makeup for so many years, and she has seen many cute girls, but this little girl is different from everyone else. She has beautiful black eyes and is beautiful. It's like a porcelain doll, and it's alive.
"On your terms, there is no need for makeup."
"Thank you." Jibai smiled politely, showing two cute little rabbit teeth.
She does have an enviable beauty, but unfortunately, after suffering from anemia in the last life, her skin slowly lost its luster, became sickly, and no longer looked good.
The makeup artist selected liquid foundation for Jibai, and at this moment, my sister walked out in a beautiful dress and said to the makeup artist: "My makeup is out of order, you can fix it for me."
"But my side is not good yet, why don't you wait?"
"She only interviewed for a few minutes. Actually, she doesn't have to wear makeup. I am the protagonist today."
The makeup artist looked at Jibai, and Jibai said to her, "It's okay, you can go and put makeup on your sister."
The makeup artist can only come to Ji Fei with the makeup tray and apply makeup to her.
Ji Feifei's appearance is much more ordinary, although there is also a white outline, but because of the excess nutrition, the cheeks are a little bulging, the facial features are not so three-dimensional, and the complexion is not very good.
Jibai sat alone in front of the mirror, putting on her own makeup.
At this moment, Jibai's mobile phone received a cheering emoji package from a group of close friends—"Come on for nothing! You are the fattest!"
Jibai smiled and replied with an expression of "I really want to fight and you are afraid of going to jail".
"Are you all in the studio?"
"Yeah, yes, we are all waiting for you in the audience. The CCTV interview is a rare opportunity. Don't make a fool of yourself!"
Jibai was editing the text message, but seeing the sisters immediately changed the subject
"By the way, I just seemed to see Xie Sui."
"What? Is that Xie Sui from our school? That Xie Sui who has played 6 to flying in boxing racing?"
"Right! It's him."
"Why would he come to see the interview?"
"Who knows."
......
The close friends discussed it for themselves.
Xie Sui is a fantastic person. Say he is a big guy. He is not very similar to the big guys in school. He is very low-key, and he never pretends on public occasions on campus. Forced behavior, such as smoking and fighting.
But everyone knows that he is not a good bird. He and those brothers go to the underground boxing room every day to make money from punching. At the same time, he loves racing. He is the most desperate player in extreme speed corners...
In the previous life at school, Jibai and Xie Sui did not have much intersection, because he laughed very evilly, making her creepy.
But sister Ji Fei seems to like a bad boy like him very much.
On the night of heavy snowfall, Jibai escaped from the hospital. Because of the extreme cold and anemia, she fainted on the street. It was Xie Sui who took her home and took good care of her.
It only took a few months to get along, but Jibai saw some kind of love engraved into his bones in his dark eyes.
......
Jibai took a deep breath, put down the phone, and put on lipstick in front of the mirror, as if unconsciously, she chose Xie Sui's favorite red.
