Gu Ying has been spending increasingly longer hours at the hospital lately.
Nanzhi was also quite puzzled, "Aying, how do you manage to stay in the hospital when it's so boring?"
Gu Ying looked up at her and said with a grin, "With Sister Xixi here, how could I be bored? Besides, it's better to be quiet, then I can finish my homework much faster."
Seeing how hard he was studying, Nanzhi couldn't help but ask, "Aying is studying so hard, do you want to be an entrepreneur when you grow up?"
A flash of pain crossed Gu Ying's eyes. He tilted his head and asked, "Why an entrepreneur?"
"Because entrepreneurs can make so much money, doesn't Ah Ying want to?"
Gu Ying shook her head without hesitation, "No, I want to be a doctor."
Nan Zhi was taken aback; she had almost forgotten that Gu Ying's primary profession was a doctor.
Why become a doctor?
Nan Zhi couldn't help but ask. Gu Ying picked up a banana and peeled it for Nan Zhi. Hearing this, she was silent for a moment, then handed the banana to Nan Zhi and said:
"In that case, Sister Xixi won't need to be hospitalized. If I were a doctor, I would definitely make sure you are discharged as soon as possible."
Nan Zhi suddenly felt as if something had struck her heart, and she was somewhat moved. So, Gu Ying became a doctor because of her? But later, for other reasons, she took away the position of head of the Gu family.
Shen Xingmian sat on the other side of the bed and was stunned for a while after hearing Gu Ying's words. So, studying hard really is useful, right?
She reached out and touched Gu Ying's head, then sighed, "Ying is so good, I'll miss you."
Gu Ying reached out and grabbed Nan Zhi's hand, trying hard to suppress the urge to cry. Ever since he learned that Nan Zhi didn't have much time left, he had been here every day, trying his best to hide himself so that Sister Xi Xi wouldn't be sad or notice anything.
"Then please don't abandon me, sister. I will always be this good to you."
Nan Zhi smiled and said, "But you'll get married when you grow up, and your older sister will get married too."
"Sister Xixi, are you going to marry Brother Xingmian? That way, we can never be apart."
Gu Ying asked innocently, which made Nan Zhi a little embarrassed. She turned her head to look at Shen Xingmian, her eyes curving like crescent moons.
Shen Xingmian waited for the answer, even though he knew she only had less than two months left, he still hoped she would answer "yes".
After a long silence, just when they thought Nan Zhi wouldn't answer, they heard a voice say, "Yes, I will marry Shen Xingmian."
Although it's from a book, it's also true.
Shen Xingmian's face was filled with excitement, and his eyes were full of joy. Even though he knew it was a lie, he was still very satisfied.
"Shen Xingmian, will you marry me?"
Nan Zhi turned to look at him, her eyes sparkling. Shen Xingmian was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "I will."
I could never marry anyone but you.
Gu Ying: "......."
Are they abusing dogs?
Enraged, Gu Ying stood up, grabbed her schoolbag, and left.
Nanzhi was both amused and exasperated. "Is Aying angry?"
Shen Xingmian: "Ignore him."
Nanzhi: "..."
"Xixi, will you... really marry me?"
The ward was silent for a long time before Nanzhi heard Shen Xingmian tentatively ask a question.
Nan Zhi extended her thin, bony hand, and Shen Xingmian spontaneously took it in his hand, his gaze never leaving Nan Zhi for a moment, afraid of missing even the slightest expression on her face.
"Really, Shen Xingmian, I promise."
Nan Zhi spoke slowly and deliberately, then looked into his eyes and said, "Actually, I have a secret."
Shen Xingmian's first thought was that her life was counting down, and he didn't want Nanzhi to face such a cruel thing, so he interrupted her before she could speak, "Xixi, actually I know everything."
Nan Zhi was surprised this time. Did Shen Xingmian know? How could that be?
"Don't say anymore, I've heard it. Xixi, don't worry, I'll always be with you no matter what."
A look of pain flashed in Shen Xingmian's eyes, making Nan Zhi unable to speak.
He had heard it before; could it be that he accidentally talked in his sleep? Thinking about it that way, it was very possible.
But she absolutely had to make this clear to Shen Xingmian, otherwise, if he didn't know that Nanzhi was her, wouldn't she be doomed?
"Shen Xingmian, besides that, there is one more thing I need to ask of you."
Shen Xingmian nodded. "Go ahead."
Nan Zhi said, "Actually, I know that you and A Ying are not from this world."
Upon hearing this, even the usually composed Shen Xingmian couldn't help but stiffen. Nanzhi noticed his emotions and continued:
"Don't be surprised, listen to me."
Seeing that Shen Xingmian had become more serious, Nanzhi said in a low voice, "When you are twenty-eight, you will meet a girl named Nanzhi who will ask you to be her boyfriend. You must agree to be her boyfriend, understand?"
"Xixi, what are you saying? You know perfectly well that I like you."
Shen Xingmian's expression turned sour. He stood up and looked at Nan Zhi with a hint of disapproval in his eyes.
Nan Zhi reached out and took his hand, but suddenly felt like coughing. She clutched her chest, "Cough cough... cough..."
A few coughs didn't help, and I even felt my breathing becoming labored. "Cough cough..."
Shen Xingmian immediately panicked, reaching out to pat Nanzhi's back, "Xixi, you..."
Nanzhi gasped for breath, "Call a doctor."
