"How's it ?" the young male asked.
The older man, dressed in an icy white lab coat,fixed his glasses before clearing his throat to speak," Your condition isn't that bad,"he said though he didn't sound convincing enough,"As long we continue monitoring your condition closely,do the right procedures on time I believe we might be able to extend your life," he explained.
"Quit the sugarcoating bullshit! Tell how many years I have left," the younger male demanded sassily.
The older man looked at him, and his lips slowly curled into a knowing smile. He had been his attending doctor for quite a while so be was already used to the younger man's mood swings.
"Two years at most."
"Okay,"the boy said quietly then suddenly, "See you on Wednesday,"he chirped gleefully and got up from his seat.
The doctor smiled again at the boy's duality; one minute he seemed sad and the next minute he was lighting up like a bulb as if nothing had happened.; as if he hadn't received a death sentence in its politest form.
It was such a pity that a young bubbly beautiful male like him was guaranteed a premature death.

Nie Ruizhi shoved the medical report into his backpack and strode towards the reception area. His beautiful doe eyes swept through a number of people occupying the area and immediately landed on a slouching male. With a smirk tugging at his lips he made his way towards the said boy.
"Hey are you asleep?" He asked and the other boy immediately straightened up looking at him. His mint coloured hair was slightly ruffled, his eyes puffy probably from lack of sleep.
"Are you done? What did the doctor say?" The mint haired male asked ,his voice full of concern.
"Don't worry I'm fine,"Nie Ruizhi replied,"Let's go."
The mint haired Jiang Yu stood up and followed his friend out of the hospital.
"Seriously tell me what the doctor told you,"Jiang Yu insisted,his voice firm and unyielding.
Ever since his friend found out about his terminal illness,he had been treating him as if he was made of glass. At first Nie Ruizhi had been hiding it from him because he didn't like the idea of anyone pitying him but Jiang Yu accidentally found out.
"He said I have two years at most. There's a possibility I might not..."
"Don't say it,"Jiang Yu cut him off,not liking whatever Nie was going to say.
"We're already in the first semester of our final year. At least I might graduate before I die. Also I'm not planning to spend the last years of my life being sad like a heartbroken male lead,"he said with a mischievous smile, throwing his arm around Jiang Yu's shoulder.
"What are you going to do?"
"I have been planning something for a while,"he informed.
"What is it?" The mint haired asked curiously..
"Something big and reckless,"he replied subtly and wiggled his eyebrows,a sly smile adorning his beautiful face , leaving his friend staring at him in confusion.
