I smiled slightly and asked, "Is it okay?"

She looked at me, as if carefully discerning if I was joking with her.

"You...you never said...this..."

I figured out the general meaning from her stumbling words, and said bluntly: "Before I met him, I didn't know I liked men."

She stared at the cup of tea on the coffee table for a while, and asked me, "How is he treating you?"

"Um."

She digested herself for a while, and said, "Then it's fine, as long as he treats you well."

I smiled and patted her head and messed up her long hair. Usually she should have screamed, but today she was very well-behaved and didn't struggle at all.

When I came back from Doctor Xie, my mother was in a good mood, but her eyes were a little red.

"Doctor Xie said that surgery can be arranged the day after tomorrow, what do you think?" She heard my bad news, and she was able to calmly discuss the surgery with Dr. Xie in a blink of an eye, "It's too late, I'm afraid there will be any changes."

the day after tomorrow...

If I hadn't survived the surgery, this would have been my last two days. But something like a tumor really shouldn't be delayed for too long. Now that a decision has been made, it's not good to hesitate.

Glancing at Ran Qingzhuang who was standing silently by the side, I nodded and said, "Okay, the day after tomorrow."

My mother and younger sister rushed here as soon as they got off the plane. They didn't eat or leave their luggage. I was afraid that they would be hungry, so I suggested that Nan Xuan take them to eat.

"Then let's go to the hotel to put things away, and then come to see you at night." My mother touched my face and said, "You have a good rest in the afternoon, don't be too tired."

I took them to the elevator and waited for them to get into the elevator before walking back with Ran Qingzhuang.

"I told my little sister about us."

Ran Qingzhuang paused in footsteps, and then quickly picked up: "Your mother didn't ask."

"She shouldn't be in the mood to ask now." I stretched, and in the blink of an eye, my eyes became more and more blurred, and I couldn't see anything in just a few seconds.

I was caught off guard, stumbled under my foot, and my whole body fell forward uncontrollably.

"Ji Ning!" Fortunately, Ran Qingzhuang was quick-witted and held me up.

I clutched his clothes tightly and closed my eyes with force, but it was still dark and I couldn't see anything.

"Your eyes..." Ran Qingzhuang should have seen it, he picked me up by the waist without saying a word, and walked quickly to the ward.

I couldn't see it before, and it took up to two or three minutes to recover, but this time it was extraordinarily long, and it was still in this state even at night.

Doctor Xie sees this as a red flag and wants us to consider surgery tomorrow. My mother and the others rushed over from the hotel. Seeing me like this, I couldn't stand it. After staying in the ward for a while, I went out with Doctor Xie.

The three of them didn't know what they were talking about outside. I always held Ran Qingzhuang's hand and used his body temperature and pulse to calm down the nervous heart.

"Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side." He took my hand and kissed the back of it.

"Ji..." My mother's voice appeared at the door of the ward, and she obviously paused for a moment before continuing, "Ji Ning, I discussed it with the doctor and think it would be better to change the operation to tomorrow, what do you think?"

This kind of thing, a doctor is a professional after all, of course I listen to her opinion unconditionally.

"Okay, let's do it tomorrow."

After the operation was finalized, I asked my mother and younger sister to come to my hospital bed, and it was time to explain what was supposed to be done.Nan Xuan went home and won't come back until tomorrow. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to wait for him, so I told my mother that if I had an emergency, let her give Nan Xuan my piano.

The little sister's suppressed crying could be heard by my ears, which may have been stared at by my mother, and soon disappeared again.

"Don't think about it yet. Doctor Xie said that until the pathology report comes out, nothing can be said." My mother said in a trembling voice.

This last night was always spent crying and crying. The last words were almost finished, so I took the initiative to change to a more relaxed topic.

Talking about the old neighbors, talking about the classmates of the younger sister, and talking about the fall of Lion Island like a story... Ran QingZhuang has always listened to our small talk quietly, not interrupting, not talking, if I hadn't held his hand for a moment.If you drive, you will think he is no longer in the ward.

"How...how did you two meet?" my mother asked suddenly.

I was stunned for a moment and heard the subtlety in her tone, but then I thought, I'm so obvious, if my mother still sees it, it's too self-deceiving.

Just as he was about to answer, Ran Qingzhuang replied, "Ji Ning and I are high school classmates. We were separated for a few years, and we met again on Lion Island..." He briefly explained the process of our reunion, and he will be at the moment of our reunion. The reason for the strict protection was explained, and many thrilling links were removed in the middle, "...that's how it is."

"Classmate from high school?" my mother murmured, instantly opening up her old memories, "Ji Ning, is he the classmate you took care of in the hospital all night?"

The room was silent, to the point where a needle could be heard.

My mind went blank and I swallowed. Before I could figure out how to fool me, I heard Ran Qingzhuang ask, "Hospital? When did it happen?"

My mother thought about it and said, "It was in the third year of high school, it seems to be in January. I remember it very clearly. Not long after, I fell and broke my waist. Ji Ning didn't come back that night. I thought something was wrong, but I got a call from him saying that a classmate was injured and no one was taking care of him. He had to be taken care of in the hospital. He didn't have many friends before, so I heard him mention it once, it's you ?"

My dear mother, this has exposed all of my old roots in an instant, and it has been revealed clearly and plainly, leaving me no room for sophistry.

"Ah, I remember it too. My brother didn't come back that night, and my mother went to set up a stall outside again. I was so scared that I didn't dare to sleep alone." The little girl added another knife.

I'm a little fortunate that I can't see it now, so I don't have to face Ran Qingzhuang's unbelievable gaze.
