After eating, she took a wet wipe to help him wipe his mouth. Because he mentioned his childhood, Xia Xiaobei remembered the photos he brought out from the Lei family's ancestral home last time, so he found it and asked him: "Is this you? I can't tell that you were quite cute when you were a child."

Ye Shaoqian glanced at the photo and couldn't help but laugh: "Why did you bring this?"

"I'm just curious," she sat on his bed and squeezed him, asking in high spirits: "Tell me quickly, how old are you, wearing a school uniform like a little sushi."

He glanced at her: "Shoka?"

"Oh, you don't understand, you just praise you for being cute." She didn't raise her head and turned over another photo. There was a photo of several boys holding football, pointing to one of them, saying, "This is so stupid, isn't David?"

Ye Shaoqian couldn't help laughing: "The eyes are so poisonous. Then guess who this is?"

The place where his fingers fell was a thin and tall boy. Because of the sun, his skin was dark and his eyes were dark and big, but he didn't like to laugh, and even took photos with his lips. Xia Xiaobei had actually guessed it to seven or eight points, but he didn't want to say that name, so he just shook his head.

Ye Shaoqian hugged her in his arms and introduced her to her one by one, "This is my second brother. At that time, several children in the government compound took photos as a souvenir. The tallest one behind him was the eldest brother of the Wen family. Look, this one is me, the one holding the ball is Brother Lu... Well, it is my brother-in-law, and the one you just saw, David, the one on his right is his eldest brother Xiang Rong."

Xia Xiaobei recognized one by one, then pointed to the little girl hiding behind the cypress tree and combed her pigtails and asked, "Isn't this the girl who delivered you just now?"

Ye Shaoqian slapped her head: "How could it be? She probably couldn't even walk at that time. This is my eldest sister."

She suddenly remembered the pale woman who was unable to move on the bed, and she felt a little emotional, and asked casually: "You must have a very good relationship with your elder sister, right? Otherwise, your brother-in-law would not take care of you like this and would always arrange you in his company."

Ye Shaoqian's eyes turned around, and after a while, he whispered to her: "It's not because of my elder sister. My brother-in-law always had a girl she liked before she married my sister. That girl was the one I matched for them."

Xia Xiaobei looked surprised and opened his mouth slightly: "Ah... you actually helped your brother-in-law cheat?"

He was quite upset: "How did I know that the aunt would make a pair of sister and Brother Lu later? She doesn't like Brother Lu..."

Ye Shaoqian looked striking, but Xia Xiaobei remembered what Lei Yunze said to her in the car that day, and shook her head in disagreement. She didn't want to waste her time on this old past, so she picked up other photos and asked him one by one.

He said: "At that time, I was a wild person, and I skipped classes and fought. I had done everything. The old man grabbed a feather duster all day long to block me under the wall. My second brother was the most cunning and lay on the back of the wall. I jumped down first. As a result, when I jumped, I saw the old man waiting for me with his eyes spitting fire. I couldn't help but beat a feather duster. My second brother was too unfaithful and left by gesture. After a while, he walked in through the main door and grabbed a book in his hand. He pretended to read it. Every time the old man scolded me, he said: It's enough that you can be half of your brother to worry!"

Every time I heard him mention Mr. Lei, I looked scared. I was really scared since I was a child. She said, "But I see that the certificates in your room are all posted in the cabinet. I thought you would be so arrogant that the world would not know."

He shook his head and said, "You didn't go into your second brother's room to check it out. His certificate was used to put the corner of the table. Anyway, my second brother is there, and the old man can't see what award I won. He was still being compared by his second brother." He was not angry when he told her, but he felt sorry, "I haven't beat him once since I was a child. In the fifth grade, I was ruthless and studied hard, but it turned out to be 0.5 points worse than him, and I got second place. I was so angry that I jumped up and took the test paper to find him and asked him: Are you a human being, and you can get full marks in all subjects? What do you think he said?"

If it was Lei Yunze, he would have remained silent.

"He said: 0.5 points is also a gap." Ye Shaoqian was still very upset when he said it. "Later I gave up competing with him. But we still had the best relationship. He went to Shanghai and I followed him, but he had a successful career, but I was still ignorant."

After he finished speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly. He mentioned Lei Yunze several times tonight, intentionally or unintentionally, but Xia Xiaobei didn't understand the meaning of this. So he listened quietly to him without expressing his opinion.

Until the end, he finally said, "I always thought you would choose your second brother. Even now, I know that he is still in your heart. Xiaobei, I hope you can face yourself honestly. I don't need anyone's mercy. If you decided to stay and take care of me because of my illness, it would only be an insult to me."

He finally said that this was the thing Xia Xiaobei was most worried about. The stack of photos he saw in the bedroom that day finally caused indelible harm to him. Even Xia Xiaobei himself had to believe that the fact that it was truly in front of him, let alone Ye Shaoqian?

Xia Xiaobei sat closer, leaned his head against his chest, and listened quietly to his heartbeat. Ye Shaoqian looked down at her. After a long time, he reached out to touch her hair gently. Her voice was very light and low, just like he was afraid of waking up the sleeping person, and murmured: "But... I don't want to leave you."

The hand that was stroking her hair suddenly stopped. He looked at somewhere in the void in the ward, his eyes clear and shiny.

Xia Xiaobei slowly found his hand, pulled it down and clenched it tightly, and said softly: "Shaoqian, let's get married." His expression was calm and solemn.

The hand that was holding her ten fingers trembled slightly, and the light flashed in her clear eyes and quickly dimmed. He calmed down his face and remained silent.

Xia Xiaobei took out the hand wearing his proposal ring in a hurry, raised his fingers in the darkness, and repeated: "Let's get married, right away."

But he grabbed the hand, rubbed the bright diamonds with his fingertips, and did not answer.

"Shaoqian..." She looked up at him persistently.

He had no choice but to sigh and ask her: "Xiaobei, are you afraid?" He lowered his head and gently kissed her smooth forehead, but Xia Xiaobei just bit his lower lip tightly and stared at him.

He said: "I decided to undergo surgery, but I was just gambling alone. No matter what the result was, I could bear it. But... Xiaobei, you are afraid that you can't afford to lose. You are afraid that you will lose me in the future, so you are in a hurry to marry me."

She pursed her lips and said nothing, but her thoughts were completely guessed. Losing... I'm afraid she wouldn't even dare to think of this word, let alone the meaning behind this word! That was Shaoqian's life, she couldn't afford to lose!

But he could still laugh: "This is also the reason why I didn't want to tell you at first. I don't want to be a burden to you. If I... die in the future, you should have your own happiness. I don't want to ruin you."

The more he said that, the more her heart trembled, and the fears that she didn't want to be mentioned made her become scared involuntarily. She choked up and said, "But you said... a woman who loved you will no longer love others..." How could she ask her to have her own happiness?

He suddenly remembered it and couldn't help but smile. The smile seemed pale. He said, "I forgot to say this... However, there are really not many men in this world who are better than me, well... Let me think about it," he was actually thinking seriously. Finally, he said, "Maybe there is such a person that you will fall in love with him in the future."

Xia Xiaobei finally understood what it meant to have such a big circle tonight. He was so anxious to give her a message, as if he was leaving the next second. Even if she was the only one left, whether she wanted to fall in love with others was her own business. Why should he help her make a decision?

I felt so upset, but I saw that he was so sick that he was so pale, and I couldn't bear to blame him, so I had to hammer his chest and say, "Who is the one who puts a gift on his face like this? I don't believe that there is only one man in this world better than you. If you continue to say this, I will go out and find a lot of people to come back to see you."

He hugged her like begging for mercy: "Okay, I won't say it anymore, I'm wrong." He said this, but the smile on his face still did not agree. Xia Xiaobei also knew that there would be no better man in this world than Shao Qian. Even if there was, she would never fall in love with others.

The next day, Xia Xiaobei cooked at home as usual, and put it all in a food box to take it to the hospital. Just as he was about to go out, the doorbell rang, it was a courier company. When he was delivered to this address, the recipient was not Shao Qian, but her, Xia Xiaobei.

She signed and opened it. It turned out to be a photo taken by Wen Ziyan at the wedding. She remembered that she asked the photographer to wash out the photos and send her a copy. She actually just wanted to take a photo with Shaoqian. Unexpectedly, the photographer was concerned and sent all the thick stacks to her. She thought that the food would be cold after being left for a long time, so she stuffed the photos back and took them to the hospital together, and watched with Shaoqian after lunch.

After hearing this, Ye Shaoqian was very excited. He opened and looked at Xia Xiaobei in the crowd and said, "You just love to be distracted." Whenever the camera accidentally photographed her in the crowd, she looked confused.

He joked half-truely: "You are so uncomfortable when your second brother gets married? Look, you don't have a single smile."

She pouted and protested: "You are missing, but I'm looking for you everywhere."

She thought that Shaoqian should have known about her condition before that day, so she did not go to the airport to make an appointment after the wedding.

Ye Shaoqian looked at him one by one, but she jumped over and didn't know what she was looking for inside. He asked, "What are you looking for?"

"The one we took together."

After she reminded him, he also remembered that he finally appeared after the wedding. He was stopped by the photographer without saying a few words to her. The two of them turned around in a daze and were captured in that moment.

Xia Xiaobei looked for it and said, "To be honest, we don't have a formal photo yet. I still have a photo of Xia Nan in my wallet." The implication is that they want to put the photo of the two in.

He smiled softly, and she suddenly said, "Finished!" The photo was taken out, and the moment the two of them stood side by side and turned sideways. She was about to say, "Let's put this one", but her mouth opened but she couldn't make a sound.

Ye Shaoqian's face also changed, and the smile in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

After a while, he just pressed her hand, pulled out the photo and threw it into the pile, and said as if nothing had happened: "This photo is not taken well. Next time we will take a better photo together and put it in your wallet."

She didn't say anything, stared at him and nodded.

She knew why he said that the photo was not good. When she saw the photo, she was also stunned. The scenery composition was beautiful, because in the instant, the two of them had no smiles, but their expressions were natural, and their postures were quite harmonious. But... Although she was surprised in the photo, her dark eyes were looking straight at the camera, and she could see clear light spots from the photo. Shao Qian, who was standing beside her, seemed to be out of focus, and the inside was full of empty confusion, and she looked at other directions at a loss.

It turned out that at that moment, his illness had already occurred.

But he pretended so well and kept laughing with her as if nothing had happened.

If she had seen this photo earlier, she might not have been confused for so long. It turned out that the truth of everything would have been captured by the flash of the camera.

They were no longer interested in looking at any photos, and Xia Xiaobei also tactfully put the photos scattered on the hospital bed and put them away. While he was not paying attention, he quietly took out the photo alone.

When she went downstairs to get him medicine, she went around to David's office. He happened to have a patient, and she sat down in the corridor and waited. The entrance was full of white, with the coming and going patients, and the smell of medicine. She didn't know when she was afraid of injections and going to the hospital. Anyway, she felt uncomfortable when she smelled this smell. Perhaps it was because the hospital carried too much separation from life and death. But she had to go in and out here often in the future.

David walked out and handed her a paper bag of coffee.

She thanked her, opened her and took a sip, and the bitter taste immediately spread to her mouth. She frowned, raised her eyes to look at him, and asked calmly: "How often will he have this happen?"

David remained silent for a moment, but told her truthfully: "If the situation is good, it may happen every three or five days."

Her heart suddenly sank: "Does it cause headaches and blindness every time it occurs?"

He nodded: "For the time being, just get through that time."

Xia Xiaobei took a deep breath. She had never seen Shao Qian get sick in front of her. Even if there was, he tried his best to hide it and never let her see it. But she could guess how painful it was. She leaned her back against the wall behind her, as if she could stand by relying on that support. She asked: "Last time, Mr. Lei and Wen Ziyan's wedding, he got sick, right? So I couldn't find him. Later, he appeared for a while and you called him away."

David still nodded: "I received a call that day. Ye San said he was outside and suddenly became ill and asked me to drive over. I took more than an hour to arrive because of a traffic jam and saw him talking and laughing with you. If I hadn't learned about his condition, I would have thought he was joking with me. That situation... He could still laugh. As early as when I discovered the abnormality in his skull cavity, I had already told him not to drive by himself in the near future. He also listened to the words at first and used a driver instead, but every time he encountered your affairs, he always forgot everything. I was really unfair at that time, and there was something more important than my life. But after he left you and arrived in Beijing with me, I watched him smoking marijuana and drinking, and indulging himself in the walking corpse. I felt better than he died."

David stopped and smiled at her: "So I will help you later. I think you are by his side, which may encourage him to face his condition. After all, the patient's own positive attitude also plays a crucial role in the operation."

Xia Xiaobei was shocked: "Smoke marijuana?"

"Many people in this circle are smoking. Ye San used to be very disgusted with these things. He played with them, but he has always kept himself clean. At least I have known him for not seeing him get drugs in these years. But last time he was admitted to our hospital after he broke his leg and was admitted to our hospital, I found that he was smoking. I was as surprised as you at that time, and snatched the cigarette from his hand and threw it on the ground, but he actually smiled at me indifferently. He said to me: Don't worry, I won't be addicted. I just couldn't sleep, so I came out to smoke one."

David's tone of reposting was quite calm, but it caused a storm in Xia Xiaobei's heart. He looked at her and suddenly asked, "Do you know why Ye San broke his leg that time?"

Xia Xiaobei had already lost his soul and murmured and repeated the fact she heard that day: "Car accident..."

David smiled and shook his head, patted her on her shoulder: "He saw you and Lei Er go to the wedding shop."

She suddenly remembered the sudden loud noise outside the wedding shop that day. She just thought it was an ordinary traffic accident and did not pay attention. It was... it was Shao Qian?

Her heart ached slightly. Times passed, but she still felt his pain as if she was there.

For so long... since then, he has been hiding, hiding alone in the corner and licking his wounds.

If it weren't for people coming and going, she would almost cry. He had paid so much for her. What else could she do to compensate him? She was afraid that he wouldn't even give her the chance to compensate...

She trembled as she listened to her voice, "Has the surgery settled?"

She asked with a glimmer of hope, but when she saw David silent for a moment and then shook his head slightly at her, her heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley.

"Maybe you don't know much about brain tumors. Some are malignant, but if the location is not very important, they can be eradicated completely, and the risk factor is not high. However, if some benign tumors happen to suppress important nerves and blood vessels, then even the top doctors will not be sure to remove them after surgery." He paused and said, "But we can't continue like this. He is now suffering from headaches and blindness. He had a serious blindness and fainting before. If he dragged on, he would not be able to grasp 40% of the time." (To be continued)
