"I can detect an uncomfortable look in your eyes, a stiff movement, or a forced smile.
But at first I thought you were really much better, and I thought what I saw was all my illusion.
I thought we were separated for more than 20 years, so I didn’t know you well enough, maybe you had changed.
However, when I learned the truth, I realized that my feeling was not wrong.
Your illness is getting better, but it's still serious.
You didn't want me to be sad, so you suppressed yourself and only showed the good side to me.
What I need is not how nice you are to me, nor do I need you to deliberately suppress yourself in order to make me happy.
I just want you to live a good life, not make you suffer more.
Zexin, stop pretending in front of me in the future and just go back to your true self, okay?"
Nangong Ruyue looked at him sadly, waiting for his reaction.
Xiao Zexin suddenly smiled softly and said: "This is the real me. My illness has really improved a lot. I'm not lying to you. You want to eat an apple? Okay, I'll peel it for you."
He reached for the knife in her hand.
Nangong Ruyue avoided it: "This knife is too small. I'll have someone bring a bigger one."
Xiao Zexin: "..."
Nangong Ruyue loudly ordered Chen Fen: "Go get the fruit knife from the kitchen!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Chen Fen was about to get it when Xiao Zexin suddenly stopped her.
"Stop, don't go!"
He reacted subconsciously and regretted it when he yelled.
Nangong Ruyue looked at him: "Is it so difficult to be the real you in front of me?"
Xiao Zexin pursed his lips and did not answer.
She didn't understand. He was deliberately pretending, just because he didn't want to show his ugly side in front of her.
I also don’t want to make her sad.
They had been separated for more than twenty years, and he was afraid that her feelings for him would fade away.
What if he treats her slightly badly and she doesn't love him anymore?
That's why he was so cautious and worried about gains and losses.
"Ruyue, give me some time, I will definitely get better." Xiao Zexin said in a low voice.
Nangong Ruyue's eyes were slightly red: "Do you think I'm forcing you? In fact, I am willing to give you time, no matter how long it takes. And no matter what you become, I don't care. But I don't want you to suffer, especially
Is it the pain or because of me?"
"Not because of you!"
"Why isn't it because of me? If it weren't for me, nothing would have happened to you then, and nothing will happen to you now. You don't know how sad I feel, so I eagerly hope you get better. Zexin, promise me
, just listen to me in everything, okay?"
Do you want to listen to her and perform a caesarean section?
"I said, except for this, I promise you everything else!"
Nangong Ruyue suddenly pulled his hand and put the knife in his hand.
"In this case, I want you to give me a knife now, will you agree?"
"You..." Xiao Zexin wanted to retract his hand, but Nangong Ruyue held on tightly.
"Give me a knife. If you give me a knife now, I won't let you operate on me!"
"Ruyue, don't make trouble, let go!"
Xiao Ze struggled with his strength, but Nangong Ruyue was stronger. He didn't dare to use too much force for fear of accidentally hurting her.
Nangong Ruyue held his hand tightly and pointed the tip of the knife at her stomach.
"As long as you pierce it, I promise you not to operate on me. If you can't do it, then you will perform the operation on me yourself!"
