Upon hearing this, Si Xuxia's face turned pale instantly.
How could this be?
Zhou Zixiao saved his life.
If Zhou Zixiao dies because of him, he will never forgive himself.
Seeing Si Xuxia's face change instantly, and noticing that Si Xuxia and Zhou Zixiao were about the same age, the nurse guessed that the two were a couple. She then comforted her, saying, "But you don't need to worry. Your girlfriend is very lucky. The doctor on duty today is Dr. Zhang, the head of our surgery department. With Dr. Zhang performing the surgery, I believe your girlfriend will definitely recover."
Although that's what the nurse said, Si Xuxia was still very worried.
Ten minutes later, the emergency room doors were finally opened.
A doctor wearing a white coat came out from inside.
Si Xuxia immediately stepped forward, "Hello doctor, how is Zhou Zixiao now?"
The doctor pulled down his mask, glanced at Si Xuxia, and his eyes were full of reproach. "You're Zhou Zixiao's boyfriend, right? Let me tell you, you're a terrible boyfriend! Do you know that if your girlfriend had been brought here even a little later, she would have died?"
"You young people should know when to stop arguing in a relationship!"
Si Xuxia lowered her head, unsure how to refute.
Soon, Zhou Zixiao was transferred to a regular ward.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Si Xuxia sitting next to her.
A glint flashed quickly in Zhou Zixiao's eyes.
It seems she...
You made the right bet!
She knew that Si Xuxia still loved her, and that Si Xuxia wouldn't just stand by and watch her die.
But soon, Zhou Zixiao seemed to have become a different person, angrily asking, "Why did you save me!"
Why won't you let me die?
Si Xuxia sighed, "Zixiao, you only have one life, you can't joke about this."
Si Xuxia is someone who has been on the verge of death once.
He knew how terrifying it felt to be on the verge of death.
"My life is mine, it has nothing to do with you! Go away, I don't want to see you again!" Zhou Zixiao turned her head away and stopped looking at Si Xuxia.
Si Xuxia rubbed her temples. "I can leave, but please don't do anything stupid like this again, okay? Do you know you almost died?"
“I told you, this is my fate, and it has nothing to do with you!” Zhou Zixiao continued, “Si Xuxia, we’ve already broken up. Didn’t you say you didn’t love me? If you don’t love me, why bother about the life or death of a stranger? What does my life have to do with you?”
Si Xuxia frowned imperceptibly.
"Zixiao, calm down! Go to the fifth floor of the hospital and see how many people with terminal illnesses are still struggling to survive. But you, with a healthy body, are trying to take your own life here. How can you face your parents?"
“I’m calm now,” Zhou Zixiao said, her eyes reddening. “Si Xuxia, do you know that my parents and all my relatives know that I came to Hong Kong with you to meet your parents? But now, you want to break up with me. What’s the point of my life? How can I face my parents and relatives?”
Upon hearing these words, Si Xuxia's eyes held an inscrutable expression.
He never imagined things would come to this with Zhou Zixiao.
Does he love Zhou Zixiao?
The answer is no.
He accepted Zhou Zixiao's confession for two reasons: first, he had reached the age of marriage and having children; second, Zhou Zixiao was his savior.
In Zhou Zixiao's opinion, a girl who would save even a stranger's life must be a pretty good person.
Who would have thought...
"What exactly do you want?" Si Xuxia continued.
Zhou Zixiao turned to look at Si Xuxia, "I only have two paths to take now: one is to stay with you, and the other is to die! I have no other choice."
"There's no possibility between us!" Si Xuxia replied with unwavering determination, then turned and left.
Watching Si Xuxia's departing figure, Zhou Zixiao continued, "Xuxia, this time I'll only wait for you for three days. Either you come to pick me up in three days to attend Madam Si's birthday banquet, or you go to the hospital to collect my body in three days."
"Si Xuxia, I risked my life to save you once, can't you save me once too?!"
Upon hearing the last sentence, Si Xuxia visibly paused.
Seeing Si Xuxia pause slightly, Zhou Zixiao narrowed his eyes, a look of determination flashing in them.

At the same time.
City A.
Yue Qianlan woke up from a nightmare with her forehead covered in layers of cold sweat.
Startled, she ran straight to her parents' bedroom and banged on the door.
"Mom and Dad!"
My mother-in-law woke up immediately and rushed to open the door, "March, what's wrong with March? Mom's here!"
Yue Qianlan hugged her mother, crying, "Waaah, Mom, I had that nightmare again. I dreamt that I was drowning in the sea."
The mother-in-law hugged her daughter tightly and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, that's just a dream, it's not real."
The father-in-law, still wearing his coat, came out and scratched his head. "Why are you still having that nightmare? Didn't Master Liu say that everything would be fine if we moved to City A?"
That's right.
There was a reason why the Yue family suddenly transferred to City A during Yue Qianlan's crucial senior year of high school.
A year ago, Yue Qianlan went to the Maldives for tourism. While riding a yacht, an accident suddenly occurred. Fortunately, Yue Qianlan was a good swimmer and not only escaped the accident, but also rescued someone from the water.
But ever since then, Yue Qianlan has had the same nightmare every night.
Seeing his daughter growing thinner and thinner, and despite numerous hospital visits to no avail, the father-in-law had no choice but to consult a fortune teller. The fortune teller said that Yue Qianlan was destined to be associated with water, and since Shanghai was close to the sea, he suggested that the family of four move to City A.
Coincidentally, Yue Qianlan hadn't had any nightmares since moving to City A, but a year later, she started having nightmares again.
Yue Qianlan was awakened by a nightmare and was afraid to sleep alone, so her mother-in-law slept with her.
Upon entering the room, my mother-in-law frowned and said, "March, do you think there might be something wrong with that longevity lock you brought back? Why don't we just throw it away?"
