Chapter 130
"Ruoan..."
When Xia Ruoan heard Zhou Ling'er's familiar yet weak voice, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
This cry contained heartache for Sister Ling'er and regret for senior brother.
"Sister Ling'er, Senior Brother already knows that you didn't go abroad for violin training, and he's just about to look for you!" Xia Ruo'an sobbed and spoke intermittently, "It's all my fault. I told him that you injured your hand while saving him, and that you can no longer perform on stage. I'm really sorry!"
When Zhou Ling'er on the other end of the phone heard these words, she was stunned as if struck by lightning.
After a moment, she came back to her senses and quickly comforted Xia Ruo'an: "Ruo'an, don't cry, don't cry, it's not your fault. I never told you to hide this from you."
But then, Zhou Ling'er seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and her voice became a little nervous: "You just said that Ouyang came to see me? Does he know that I'm in the hospital?"
As she spoke, she reached out and picked up the tablet computer beside her. The moment the screen lit up, her own face, as pale as paper, came into view.
Due to long-term chemotherapy, her hair had already fallen out, and she looked extremely haggard and disheveled at the moment.
"Ruoan, when will he come? I absolutely cannot go to see him in this state. I look too ugly and embarrassing now!" Zhou Ling'er was extremely anxious, and there was even a hint of crying in her voice.
Although Xia Ruoan was not by her side, he could easily imagine the fear and anxiety she was feeling at that moment.
"He should be on his way to the airport now. He has no idea where you are now. He only found out about this after he asked my husband, but I haven't told him the news yet."
"I would like to ask about your thoughts and wishes. Do you want to meet him? You know, he has never forgotten you in the past seven years, and he has firmly remembered the promise you made - to find you in seven years."
"Although he had many suitors over the years, he never responded to any of them."
Deep down in her heart, Xia Ruoan actually hoped that the two of them could meet, even if it was just a short reunion, even if it was only for a year.
She said sincerely: "Whether to meet Brother Ouyang or not is entirely up to you. If you are willing to meet him, I will tell him where you are now without hesitation, and he will come to find you personally."
"But if you don't want to see him, that's totally fine. I will never let him appear in front of you, so as not to cause you trouble." As long as he can look at you from a distance, perhaps it is enough.
“Sister Ling’er, he wants to see you. He knows you’re not here to study violin, so he doesn’t care about the seven-year agreement and goes straight to find you.
Let's meet, for both you and him, a year can do a lot, don't leave regrets for each other. "Xia Ruoan thinks that unless there is life and death, people who truly love each other will be happy for a day.
"After you left, I rarely saw him smile sincerely again. Sister Ling'er, go meet him. He only wants to see you now." Xia Ruoan persuaded.
"Ruoan, I don't know. I also want to see him, but I'm afraid to see him. He will be disappointed when he sees me now. I don't even recognize myself." Zhou Ling'er said sadly.
"For the past seven years, I have been able to survive only because of my longing for him."
Xia Ruoan felt only regret when thinking about the seven years they had missed. "I'm not disappointed, just guilty. You should know my brother better than I do. He loves you. No matter what you look like, you are the most beautiful in his heart."
"Ruoan, do you know the relationship between you and Ouyang?" Zhou Ling'er asked.
"Yes, I know. He told me today. He said that if my father is willing to go back to the Ou family, he can go find you with peace of mind and bring you back. If you don't want to come back, he can stay with you abroad." Xia Ruoan just didn't expect the situation to be like this.
"Then Ruoan, he will be very painful if he knows about my situation. I don't want to make him sad. You think so too, right?" Even though Zhou Ling'er wanted to see him in her heart, she wanted him to rest assured that he still had a long life ahead of him.
"It will be painful, but if he hears about your situation from someone else, he will be even more painful. I don't think he will accept others. Just live in the present." Xia Ruoan felt that what her senior brother wanted more was to see her, even if it was only for a year's companionship.
"Sister Ling'er, I'm getting married soon. You said you would play for me at the wedding. I'll wait for my brother to bring you back." Xia Ruoan requested.
"Ruoan, what's my current situation?" Zhou Ling'er doesn't even dare to go out now, for fear of scaring people.
"I will be very happy to get the blessing of you and my senior brother, so I sincerely hope you can come back." Xia Ruoan looked at Zhou Ling'er's current appearance, without any disgust, only heartache.
"Okay, An An, you send it to him. I'll be waiting for him." Let her be selfish for once and monopolize him for a while in the future.
If possible, she wanted to dominate Ouyang for the rest of his life, but she couldn't bear to let him be alone, so she still hoped that Ouyang could find someone he loved in the future, even if he forgot her.
"Thank you." Xia Ruoan said sincerely when she heard that she was willing to meet her senior brother.
"No, I should thank Ruoan for being able to see him before I died. If you didn't look for me, I might not even have the chance to see him." Zhou Ling'er said sadly.
Xia Ruoan didn't know how to comfort her. After all, her condition could only be suppressed but not cured. Now it was difficult to even control it.
Xia Ruoan sent the information and photos in Leng Zexi's hand to his mobile phone and sent it to Ouyang.
At the same time, Ouyang boarded the plane. For some reason, his original expectations suddenly turned into fear. He was afraid of seeing Zhou Ling'er.
It seemed that no matter what Zhou Ling'er was like now, he couldn't accept that she didn't want him and had someone else by her side.
Xia Ruoan also told her father about the Ou family.
"Dad, my uncle isn't in good health. Let's go see him together when we have time," Xia Ruoan suggested.
Xia Lin couldn't accept it either. He was angry at the time and believed Zhou Min's lies. He thought the Ou family would not dare to offend his father and leave, and would not want him. He didn't expect it was because of the death of his cousin and his wife.
Especially when she heard Ruoan say that her cousin's son had been taking care of her all these years, she felt even more guilty.
