Ye Wenyu nodded earnestly and said to Lin Tingfeng, "Of course, I am your friend, now and in the future. I will always be by your side." Her words were as warm as a fireplace on a winter night.

Lin Tingfeng's nose tingled and his eyes reddened as he listened. Lost in thought, he gazed at the beautiful girl before him, a girl as delicate and lovely as a flower. He wondered, what kind of girl was she? When he held a high position of power, she kept her distance; but when he faced enemies on all sides, she appeared, stood by his side, and showed him utmost care and concern.

This girl is truly extraordinary, so rare that she's like a pearl in the desert, making her all the more precious.

Ye Wenyu blushed under Lin Tingfeng's gaze and whispered to him, "Hey, you're making me feel embarrassed."

At this moment, her little face was as red as a cherry.

Lin Tingfeng then withdrew his gaze and said to her thoughtfully, "I just think you're quite peculiar. Indifferent to fame and fortune, a person of deep feeling?"

Ye Wenyu smiled, but remembering everything that had happened in her past life, her eyes welled up with tears. She immediately lowered her head and said in her heart, "Lin Tingfeng, I'm just trying to make up for the mistakes I made. I hope it's not too late."

However, she couldn't say it out loud, so she could only blush and say, "Uh, it's like this, you used to be in a high position and everyone wanted to get to know you. I figured I had no chance of getting your favor anyway. It didn't matter, I was poor and not good-looking, so I just acted a little aloof and different from others. Actually, it was just a very unusual way to get your attention."

"Hahaha, hahaha," Lin Tingfeng burst into laughter.

This girl almost made him laugh until he cried. He didn't believe what she said, but she successfully made him laugh.

She said she's not good-looking at all? Hahaha, hahaha, that's the biggest joke in the world.

Lin Tingfeng looked at Ye Wenyu, whose face was flushed with pity. He thought to himself, this girl didn't tell him the real reason. Perhaps he would never know the real reason in his life, but why did he have to know the reason?

At this moment, she stood before him, chatting and laughing with him, genuinely caring for him, and accompanying him to collect the results. He was already very grateful.

When the whole world was against him, she stood up, took the initiative to approach him, cared for him, and shared life and death with him.

He had a very bad feeling about this illness, and now that he's about to have surgery, that feeling has become even stronger.

But it's okay, he can face it calmly, because she's by his side. He doesn't want to lose his manly composure and courage in front of her, lest she look down on him.

Therefore, Lin Tingfeng smiled and nodded, saying gently to her, "With you by my side, I'm not worried at all."

At this moment, it was time for the surgery. The medical staff came and wheeled Lin Tingfeng inside, while Ye Wenyu waited quietly outside the operating room.

She brought her civil service exam study materials, and while waiting outside the operating room, she didn't waste any time; she kept studying.

However, after reading for three hours, she could no longer remain calm. She would read for a while, then take out her phone to check the time. After reading for a while, she realized that Lin Tingfeng had not yet been brought out, so she took out her phone to check the time again.

As time passed, she looked up and down repeatedly. The words on the book seemed to have turned into dancing little people, and she couldn't concentrate on reading a single word. So she simply stood up and paced anxiously outside the operating room.

Her heart felt like it was being fried in oil and on fire. She couldn't understand why a surgery would take so long. Often, a long surgery meant something serious had happened. Could something have happened to Lin Tingfeng?

Thinking of this, Ye Wenyu felt her heart sink as if it were filled with lead. She thought to herself, "This can't go on," but she was helpless. At this moment, Lin Tingfeng was in the operating room, and his life was in the hands of the doctors.

Left with no other choice, Ye Wenyu could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that Lin Tingfeng would be safe and sound.

Five hours later, the operating room door finally opened, the doctor came out, and the nurse pushed Lin Tingfeng out as well. Ye Wenyu nervously went to greet him.

At the same time, the operating room door opened, and Lin Tingfeng was wheeled out. He was conscious, having just escaped death. He opened his eyes and anxiously searched for Ye Wenyu.

It was early morning, and the hospital corridor was deserted. He lay on the stretcher, and from his perspective, Ye Wenyu was the only person waiting in the entire hospital corridor.

In that instant, he felt that she was incredibly tall and strong, as if she filled the entire hospital corridor, surpassing the dozens of relatives and friends waiting outside the operating room. At the same time, she also filled his heart.

Lin Tingfeng was moved and thought that he would remember this moment forever, never forget it, and remember it for the rest of his life.

He would never forget the way she stood anxiously waiting for him in the operating room corridor; she would be etched into his heart like a brand.

He thought to himself that, from childhood to adulthood, there were times when things were particularly difficult, and he would complain to God, feeling that it was unfair and that God was torturing him in every way. But now, because Ye Wenyu had appeared in his life, he finally stopped complaining to God. He was calm and at peace. He even had a strange thought in his heart: that all the hardships he had endured to grow up safely were just for this day, to meet Ye Wenyu.

These thoughts were all in Lin Tingfeng's mind, but he just didn't tell Ye Wenyu. He was very weak after a long surgery.

He simply lay there, gazing lovingly at Ye Wenyu.

Ye Wenyu walked to Lin Tingfeng's side, reached out a hand, took his weak hand, and asked him with concern, "Are you alright?"

Lin Tingfeng felt a warmth in his heart, but he was too weak to speak, so he just smiled.

Touched by their actions, the doctor misunderstood and smiled at Ye Wenyu, saying, "Are you his girlfriend?"

Ye Wenyu's face immediately turned as red as a bride's veil.

She opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but ultimately said nothing.

Because of the doctor's misunderstanding, Lin Tingfeng's spirits improved and he regained his strength. He gazed at Ye Wenyu affectionately and said gently, "I hope I have this blessing."

Ye Wenyu's face turned even redder.

The doctor and nurses smiled and said to Ye Wenyu and Lin Tingfeng, "The surgery was a success. Next, you will undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy. If there is no recurrence within three years after the treatment, then you can be considered to have been successfully cured."
