Originally, Li Kai had not taken the fact that he could not find a job seriously, thinking that he still had a lot of time left. However, he did not expect that his life had already begun to count down...
On the way back, Li Kai looked at his mobile phone absentmindedly, reading the unread messages on it.
First, the news from the landlord.
Li Kai knew it was about rent increase without clicking on it. The landlord had approached him several times about this matter.
However, the rent was not due yet, and with this incident happening to him, he was in no mood to pay attention to the landlord and just paid the bill.
Flipping further, he found a message from his uncle, saying that his hometown was leveling the graves at the moment, and all the graves in the fields would be moved to the cemetery, which would soon be at his home, so he was asked to go back when the time came.
I replied to my uncle's message and was about to continue reading other messages when the phone rang.
The caller was his college classmate Si Peng, who was also one of Li Kai's few good friends here.
"Hello."
Li Kai answered the phone.
"You finally answered the phone. What were you doing this afternoon? You didn't reply to my messages or answer my calls. I was ready to call the police for you."
Si Peng called out on the phone.
"Something happened and I was just about to reply to your message." Li Kai said weakly.
"Are you okay? Why do you look so weak?"
Si Peng heard something wrong in Li Kai's tone and immediately became concerned.
"It's okay." Li Kai didn't want to talk about his own affairs. "What's the matter?"
"Are you really okay? If you encounter any problems, don't hide them. Just tell me if you need help."
Si Peng said.
"It's really okay." Li Kai had long been accustomed to the kindness of the guy opposite him, and his heart warmed.
"That's fine." Si Peng got down to business. "Are you free on Saturday and Sunday next week? I need a few helpers. The price is still the same, 150 lunch packs a day."
Si Peng now works as a salesperson in a real estate company. His company often hires people to pretend to be home buyers when new properties are launched, in order to create the illusion that the property is hot and in short supply, thereby attracting real customers.
Before this, Li Kai often did this part-time job to earn some extra money.
But now…
Li Kai hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "I'm free."
No matter what, you still have to eat. You can't starve to death before dying of illness.
"Okay, come find me then."
After saying this, the person on the other end hung up the phone.
After Li Kai read the other unread messages one by one, he opened the browser and started searching.
He quickly found the information he was looking for.
"A few months at the shortest, or two to three years at the longest..."
Li Kai looked at the numbers above and felt inexplicably calm.
If he is lucky, he can live for several more years, which is beyond his previous psychological expectations.
Now there is only one question left.
That is how he should spend the remaining time.

Li Kai kept thinking about this question until he got home.
First of all, he directly ruled out the option of seeking medical treatment because he had no money. The money he had was not even enough to pay for his rent, let alone the bottomless pit of medical treatment.
As for his home...
Since he was six years old, he was the only one registered in his family's household registration book.
Li Kai was an orphan who was picked up from the roadside by his grandfather. He was raised until he was six years old, and then his grandfather passed away.
Li Kai, who was completely alone at this point, grew up with the help of his uncle's family. His tuition and living expenses during college were also provided by his uncle, who only stopped providing support after he graduated from college.
Although his uncle's family still has some money, Li Kai does not intend to borrow money from his uncle for medical treatment.
There is no hope of cure for advanced cancer. Even if the treatment is successful, you can only live a few more years.
There is no need to let my uncle's family make unnecessary sacrifices for me just to survive for a few years.
Originally before this, Li Kai had planned to find a job first and use his spare time to pursue further studies.
Now this is totally unnecessary.
Li Kai was a little confused and didn't know what to do next.
He simply searched for relevant content on his mobile phone and soon came up with a lot of ideas.
Although there are many ideas, they can generally be summed up into the following categories, such as spending time with family, traveling, and doing things that I usually want to do...
These basically do not apply to Li Kai.
He was alone, with no family to accompany him; he had no idea about traveling, not to mention he had no money; and there were some things he wanted to do, most of which also required money to accomplish.
With money you can travel the world; without money you can't go anywhere.
Just when Li Kai was feeling lost and confused, a strong pain suddenly appeared in his mind again, and a large number of dense white spots quickly covered his entire vision!
This time the stinging sensation was much stronger than before, and Li Kai couldn't even bear it and fell to his knees on the ground.
"…Why is it so strong this time?!"
Li Kai held his head with both hands and clenched his teeth tightly.
I don't know how long it lasted, but when it all stopped, Li Kai was already sweating all over, and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat.
"It's finally over..."
Just when Li Kai was feeling lucky to have escaped the disaster, he raised his head and suddenly froze in place.
"What is this place?"
