Lu Mianmian rushed all the way to Zhou Jinghua's ward and heard Zhou Jiani's voice outside the door:

"Brother, I don't want you to die."

Lu Mianmian's feet seemed to have taken root and she suddenly couldn't move.

Through the crack in the door, I saw Zhou Jinghua sitting on the hospital bed, forcing a smile.

Although his face had become much thinner, the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Jiani was still as gentle as before.

"Silly girl, everyone will die sooner or later. The meaning of life is not its length, but whether every day of your life is wasted."

Zhou Jiani burst into tears and kept raising her hands to wipe away tears. Although she tried hard to hold back her tears, her voice was choked with sobs:

"Brother, you were calling for Sister Xiaoqi in your dream last night. I'll go find her to see you... okay?"

"Don't go!" Zhou Jinghua's gentle tone suddenly became stern: "I have said many times, don't disturb her life anymore. The best ending for us is... I quietly disappear from her world. This is the best arrangement for her."

"But you obviously like her very much, you are willing to sacrifice your life for her, at least you should let her know! In fact, I know that Sister Xiaoying likes you too, why don't you be honest with each other?"

"What happens after I confess? She's too sentimental. Should I let her watch me die and then spend half her life in pain and self-blame? This kind of love is selfish."

Zhou Jiani sobbed: "Brother, don't you feel sorry? You will be very sad!"

"Jia Ni, Xiao Xi and I are destined not to be together in this life. Maybe in the next life! As long as I have a healthy body in the next life, I will bravely pursue my own happiness like a young man chasing the light. In this life, I will take away all the misfortunes around you, and I hope you will be as free as the wind, happy as you want..."

Lu Mianmian leaned against the wall outside the ward. All the strength in her body seemed to be drained away. She slowly slid down the wall and sat on the ground.

He actually said he liked her?

The unspeakable emotion weighed down her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. She tilted her head back with her jaw clenched, and had to open her mouth to breathe. Tears had already burst out.

She didn't know why she was like this, she clearly hated Zhou Jinghua.

But when I learned that he would not live long, I still felt heartbroken.

She went to find Zhou Jinghua's doctor in a daze, and only from him did she learn the details of his condition.

The tumor in Zhou Jinghua's brain was discovered more than a year ago. Because it was not possible to determine whether the tumor was benign or malignant, conservative treatment was adopted.

But more than a year later, the tumor had not been contained and had already pressed on the optic nerve, causing significant damage to his vision.

After further examination and evaluation, it is very likely that it is a malignant tumor and he will undergo a craniotomy next week.

It’s just that the location of the tumor in his brain is tricky, and the operation is extremely difficult, and there is a possibility that he will not be able to get off the operating table.

Even if the operation is successful, there are risks such as amnesia and blindness.

If a brain tumor is confirmed to be malignant after resection, the survival period is only one to three years.

Lu Mianmian didn’t know how she got back to school. She listened to the class in a restless manner and was distracted most of the time.

She was recalling every moment she had with Zhou Jinghua and his sister, which was both bitter and sweet.

I originally thought that period was the most difficult, but the funny thing is that now when I think back on it, it was the happiest time.

In the afternoon, when she passed by the basketball court, she accidentally saw a boy whose back resembled Zhou Jinghua.

Watching the boy dribbling the ball and making the layup in one smooth motion, she couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment.

Zhou Jinghua also always comes here, sometimes to play basketball, sometimes to sit next to and read foreign language books.

She didn't even know how long ago he had infiltrated her life.

Just as she was lost in thought, a familiar yet disgusting female voice suddenly broke her thoughts.

It’s Mu Shuting.
