Pei Xiao opened his wallet smugly: "I want to know what I look like. Since you are my boyfriend, you must have a photo of me, right?"
As she said that, she had already found a photo from the mezzanine, and Xi Xiangdong was too late to stop it.
The woman in the photo wears her hair in a ponytail and has a charming smile. It is as if all the sunshine in the world has gathered in her eyes, making those who look at her smile unconsciously.
"This...is me?" Apparently she didn't believe it even herself. She turned over the photo again and saw the words: my sunshine written in pen on the back. The handwriting was scrawled, and it was obviously a few years old.
Before she could think about it carefully, Xi Xiangdong had already snatched the photo and wallet from her hand.
"My sunshine..." Pei Xiao muttered in a daze, then suddenly raised his head and smiled: "It seems you love me quite a lot."
Xi Xiangdong was noncommittal and put away his wallet with a sullen face.
"You should go to bed early. I'll come see you when I have time." After saying that, only a cold back was left.
That night, Pei Xiao obediently signed the consent form for the surgery. The plastic surgeon used a computer to synthesize a rough outline of what she would look like after plastic surgery. He showed it to her to make sure it was OK, and then sent a copy to Xi Xiangdong.
Xi Xiangdong was working overtime in the company. When he saw the composite picture, he frowned and picked up the phone at hand: "Let Pei Xiao listen."
After a while, Pei Xiao answered the phone: "You missed me so soon?"
Xi Xiangdong was not in the mood to joke with her: "Are you sure you want to end up like this?"
"What, is there a problem? Did I choose my facial features based on the photo in your wallet?" she asked, and then secretly whispered, "Could it be that... the one in your wallet is not me?"
Xi Xiangdong was silent for a long time. After a long time, he said, "Just do whatever you like." Then he hung up the phone.
Pei Xiao was nervously pushed into the operating room. Anesthesia was administered and the bones on his face were opened. Just thinking about it, it was extremely painful.
But she had survived even the more terrifying experiences. After walking around the gate of hell, nothing mattered anymore.
She had gone through several major and minor operations on her face, and the gauze was removed for the first time. The allergic symptoms after the operation had not gone away, and her entire face was swollen, like a pig's head.
After finally coming out of the sterile ward, the nurse noticed that she was bored, so she pushed her outside for a walk. On the green grass, a whole family gathered around a child, singing and laughing. Pei Xiao just watched quietly and felt that
Full of joy.
"They are so happy." She said to the caregiver behind her.
The child's ball rolled over. Pei Xiao bent down to pick it up, but the nurse picked it up for her. The little boy said "thank you" obediently. When he looked up, he saw Pei Xiao whose face was swollen and deformed, and shouted, "Yes."
Ghost——" He ran away in panic.
The nurse quickly comforted her: "The child speaks uncontrollably."
"But he's not wrong... The way I am now, I really don't look like a human being or a ghost like a ghost."
"When the gauze is removed, you will become beautiful."
"Ha..." She seemed to chuckle. No matter how beautiful she was, she was no longer herself.
The nurse reported her situation to Xi Xiangdong truthfully. That night, Xi Xiangdong appeared in her ward again: "Are you in a bad mood recently?"
She covered her face in the quilt and said, "How many times would you like to have someone stab your face?"
After a period of silence, the bedside sank slightly. He sat over and stretched out his hand to lift the quilt from her head: "It's normal to be nervous and anxious during this period. Let the psychiatrist come and talk to you tomorrow."
