You are the sweet that I can't hide

Chapter 2016
After Mrs. Qiao fell asleep, Concubine Huang went back to her room, but she didn't see anyone from Qiao Jinyang.

His kind of health-preserving boy, at this point, usually fell asleep early.

She pulled a servant over: "Where did the young master go?"

"It seems to be going downstairs to the garden."

After a pause, seeing the cool night breeze, she carried a coat and went downstairs to the garden.

Walking along the path to the deepest point, sure enough, I saw a familiar figure sitting in a chair in the center of the courtyard, with his face upturned, seriously admiring the full moon that only comes once a year.

The back is tall and straight, with a handsome appearance, blending with the cool and bright moon in the sky at this moment.

The side face and hair on the temples are cut, the thin and handsome chin line reveals a bit of independence, and the charming arc of the thin lips is slightly raised upwards.

Only, her white hair was incompatible with her young face and figure, even... it was shocking.

But there is a contrasting beauty.

At this moment, the man stared at the bright moon in the sky with both eyes, very nostalgic.

Concubine Huang knew that, in fact, he really wanted to enjoy the moon with the guests.

It is only because of the current physical condition that I can only enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival by myself.

Looking at the man's silver hair again, he sighed for no reason.

When she first entered Qiao's house, she never knew what disease he had.

Seeing that he didn't take much medicine and went to the hospital, his energy was not bad, and he even thought he was faking it.

After a long time, I realized that he was indeed seriously ill.

'Werner syndrome'.

When she heard the name of the disease for the first time, she was taken aback.

I only know the translation into Chinese, called Werner Syndrome.

Qiao Jinyang told him that this disease has a more popular and easier-to-understand name, progeria.

This is a genetic disease, once diagnosed, there is no cure.

Patients are generally born with progeria genes, and the onset begins at puberty.

Ordinary healthy people can live to seventy, eighty years old, or even longer.

Patients with Werner Syndrome can live up to [-] years, and, before [-] years, they will have premature hair growth, and various body functions will also begin to age.

Finally, die of old age.

His body organs have slowly degenerated with the passage of time.

From the slightest at first, the occasional gray hair or two, presbyopia...

In the past two years, it has become more and more serious.

From one or two white hairs, like a prairie fire, to a full head of silver hair.

Presbyopia is getting stronger and stronger.

The legs also often hurt, she knew, because of the calcium deficiency and bone degeneration common in the elderly.

He used to run every day and night, but now he can't even run.

The characteristics of the old man came to the originally young man little by little, and slowly ate away his energy.

The only consolation is that although his internal organs are constantly failing, his face and figure still maintain a youthful and handsome appearance.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Concubine Huang walked over and put her coat on the man: "It's cold at night, be careful of catching a cold."

Only then did Qiao Jinyang realize that she was coming, her thin lips were slightly curved, and there was a luster of self-mockery.

It's not like before.

Although he is still a young man on the outside, his core may be the same as a 70-year-old man. His resistance is weak, and a cold may make him seriously ill.

He let her put on clothes for himself: "You have been busy all day, don't worry about me, go to sleep."

"It's okay. I haven't seen enough of the moon just now, and now I will watch the moon with you." She pulled up a chair and sat beside him.
