Looking at the white clouds in the sky, my vision becomes increasingly blurry.

My breathing is also becoming more difficult.

Cardiomyopathy is a genetic disease. Once it flares up, there's no cure, and you can only wait for death.

I want to save a few more people before I die.

I laughed, a silly laugh.

I seem to see my sister's face, watching her grow day by day into a beautiful girl.

I seem to see my mother, with white hair at her temples but a warm smile.

"Ah, so painful."

My heart, as if gone mad, beats stronger and stronger with each pulse.

The harder it beats, the more it hurts, and the harder it is for me to breathe.

I seem to see that afternoon again when I knelt in the counselor's office, hugging the teacher's leg, begging him not to tell my dad about my cardiomyopathy.

"Dad, you've had such a hard life. In your next life, enjoy some blessings."

I saw my dad, waving at me from the sky.

When I was little and playing with him in the field, he would wave at me like this, letting me sit on his shoulders.

"Dad, I'm sorry."

I didn't stop you from coming to the school because of anything else.

I didn't want you to see the pitiful expression on my classmates' faces when they looked at me.

And the desk in my dorm room, full of medicine bottles.

(The End)

Extra 1 - Mother's Chapter:

"Auntie, what are you doing here?"

"My daughter is sick, heart disease. She can live with surgery. Please help me with some money. I'm begging you. This is the examination report. It's all real."

"Auntie, you can't seek help like this at the hospital entrance."

"I have no other way. I really don't. There are many people at the hospital, and many kind people too."

"Hey, you there, no begging allowed at the hospital entrance!" The security guard started to chase her away.

"Auntie, come with me."

......

"Is this really okay?"

"Trust me, it will work."

"Isn't this too hard on you?"

"As long as we can save her, that's enough. Do you remember what I told you?"

"I remember. Benefactor, how should I address you?"

"My name is Zhou Chang."

"What's your sister's name?"

"Benefactor, the child's surname is An. You give her a name. Once she's cured, we'll change it to the name you give."

"Call her An Xin."

Extra 2 - Xiao Ping's Chapter:

"What's the matter with you lately?"

"What do you mean?"

"You usually don't show off your affection, but now you're posting pictures with your girlfriend everywhere."

"Feeding you all some dog food."

"You're really sick!" My second brother kicked me hard.

"Ding-dong."

"Dear Changchang, let's go out for some good food tonight."

"I have no money, and I'm sick. I don't know what you see in me."

"I'm willing. No matter what, even if I die, I want to be with you."

Ah, so painful!

I clenched the paper ball in my hand tightly, and soon the sweat soaked through the report sheet. No one could tell it was a critical illness notice anymore.

Extra 3 - Police Chapter:

"Hello, I'd like to surrender."

"What crime did you commit?"

"I lied to someone."

"How did you lie?"

"I commented online......"

"Name and ID number."

"Zhou Chang, ID number is......"

"Alright, wait for the notification."

Extra 4 - Dad's Chapter:

"Yingzi, I went to see the eldest in the city today. The eldest has grown up."

"Yingzi, I know the eldest hates me, but I don't know how to talk to him."

"Yingzi, the eldest has become successful and can earn his own money now."

"Yingzi, I want to join you, but I can't bear to leave the eldest."

"Yingzi, the eldest will be able to take care of himself, right?"

Extra 5 - Mom's Chapter:

"Family member? Where's the patient's family member?"

"I'm here, I'm here. Please, save my child."

"Sorry, with the current level of medicine...this disease, we can't cure it. We can only try to prolong the child's life."

"What......"

"And...I need to remind you that this disease is hereditary. It's best to have your spouse checked as well."

"What do you mean by hereditary?"

"It means grandpa passes it to dad, and dad to son. How many kids do you have? It's best to check them all."

"Doctor, I'm begging you, don't tell my husband about this, okay?"

"Such a big thing, can you handle it on your own?"

Extra 6 - Zhou Chang's Chapter:

"Auntie, stop knocking your head. What happened to you?"

"Yeah, your head is bleeding. Is there anything we can help you with?"

......

"Xiao Hao, go and tell the passersby about the video of the auntie asking for help and my comments from yesterday."

"Xiao Hao, got it."

"Xiao Sun, have you started the live broadcast?"

"Started, but the traffic isn't very high."

"Continue attracting traffic."

"Xiao Fang, how many people did you find to film short videos?"

"10 people."

"Are they all here?"

"8 are here."

"What's the situation with the other 2?"

"They're on the way."

"Film from all angles. We'll post them tonight. Each person has a 2000 budget for traffic attraction."

"Got it."

......

"Old Z, you're really putting a lot into this."

"Everyone, please help keep this confidential."

"We're all buddies. Of course, we'll keep it confidential."

Extra 7 - Counselor's Chapter:

"You've really made our school proud."

"Counselor, I'm sorry."

"What's the use of apologizing to me? Do you understand that our school is now famous because of you? What major are you studying again?"

"Journalism."

"You still remember you're a journalism student. Where's everything you've learned? Did a dog eat it? Do you know what kind of consequences your statement can cause online?"

"Is the internet a lawless place? Can you say whatever you want? And you call yourself a journalism student."

Extra 8 - Dean's Chapter:

"Because of your online comment, our school and our college have been severely affected. The result is your expulsion. Do you understand your mistake?"

"Dean, I understand."

"Do you regret it?"

"No, I don't regret it."

Extra 9 - Treating the Disease Chapter:

"Honey, let's not treat my illness anymore."

"Why?"

"Save the money for our eldest."

"Let's treat your illness first, and we'll slowly earn money for the eldest."

"The eldest will need money for a wife, a house, and kids. It'll require a lot of money. Listen to me and save the money for the eldest."

"The eldest can earn money on his own in the future."

"Honey, if our family's money can only save either me or the eldest, who would you save?"

......

"Save the eldest."

"Then listen to me."

Extra 10 - An Xin's Chapter:

"An Xin, An Xin, don't run. Come back."

"Mommy, mommy, I want to find my brother."

"Stop talking nonsense. What brother?"

"There's a brother. I dreamed of him yesterday. He came to see me, asked if I was doing well, and gave me lots of candies."

The bowl in the woman's hand fell to the ground.

"Where did you see the brother?"

"In the park, with lots of flowers and grass, and a pleasant fragrance."

"Come on, I'll take you to see your brother."

The woman wiped her tears away.

"It's not here. The brother I saw yesterday wasn't here."

"An Xin, he is your brother. His name is Zhou Chang."

"Why does my brother live in the dirt?"

"He's not living in the dirt. He's just sleeping. When we face difficulties in the future, your brother will help us."

"Mommy, did I really meet my brother?"

"Yes, yes! Your name was given by your brother. He told you to be peaceful and also told mommy to be peaceful."

......

"You're doing great. The recovery is excellent. From now on, there's no need for follow-up checks. Little An Xin is completely cured now!"

"Thank you, doctor. Thank you."
