As a result, An Xiaomi hammered him on the chest. Her face turned red and she gritted her teeth: "You want to die. I asked you to take off your shirt. Didn't you get hit on the back too?"

"Ahem, wouldn't it be easier for me to take off my shirt like this..."

Xu Zhimu coughed dryly and took off his shirt, revealing the red and swollen marks on his back from being beaten by the belt.

Because the back is where the force is applied, the marks on the back are the most serious.

"Uncle, he was too aggressive... Fortunately there was no bleeding, otherwise it would have been troublesome. Please bear with me, I will rub it for you..."

An Xiaomi's voice was trembling with distress. She slowly heated the safflower oil and then gently rubbed it on Xu Zhimu's back.

"Zhimu, I heard everything you said tonight...you are so disgusting~"

An Xiaomi said softly, with an unbearable smile in her voice.

"Although it's a little greasy, the fat meat is considered meat. I like it very much."

An Xiaomi was smiling, and Xu Zhimu looked at her expression and knew that this girl was deliberately trying to relieve her awkward mood.

"Okay, I'm not angry, but you have to give me a good explanation."

An Xiaomi slowly rubbed his back, and after a while, she said: "Zhimu, what happened today, even if I didn't say those words, can uncle, aunt and others really accept us?"

Xu Zhimu also thought about it and realized that it would be impossible to accept it within a short period of time.

"But at least we need them to know about us. Time will slowly get used to everything, just like we were strangers from the beginning to now."

"If this is the case, our goal has been achieved."

An Xiaomi took his words and looked at Xu Zhimu's stunned expression. An Xiaomi continued: "Anyway, our parents, uncles and aunts already know about us now... Uh-huh, if I don't say this today, what do you think we will do next?"

How long do you have to wait for another chance to have a good conversation together?

You said, time will get used to everything, but the premise is that we still have to live together. Only by doing this can we return to our previous life faster..."

"Excuse."

Xu Zhimu interrupted her directly, and the girl's soft little hands paused.

"An Xiaomi, we are childhood sweethearts and have lived together for twenty years. What is there about you that I don't know?"

Xu Zhimu raised his eyes and looked at him.

"…Why does it sound a little perverted?"

"Don't ruin the mood! Be honest."

"oh……"

An Xiaomi knew that she couldn't escape today, so she lowered her head, pursed her lips slightly, and then said: "Zhimu, actually I know your mood, and I also know that you have been preparing for today for a long time, and you have made the decision

Great determination, and I am very happy that you are so brave to tell your uncle and aunt that you like me, but..."

"But what, do you still want to sneak away alone?"

Xu Zhimu spoke, remembering An Xiaomi's leaving without saying goodbye in his previous life, it was like a nail.

"Xiaomi, I know you don't want me to feel sad for you, but for some things, leaving without saying goodbye is the greatest harm to the other person."

An Xiaomi lowered her eyes slightly. She looked at Xu Zhimu and touched the scars on his back.

"Zhimu, I didn't mean to hide anything from you. If possible, of course I want to be with you forever.

But, with my own body, I don’t know if there is any hope or a future.”

An Xiaomi's eyes held some sadness, but also some helplessness and open-mindedness. She looked at Xu Zhimu and touched his cheek.

"Actually, even without Sister Ningqing, the two of us might not have such a bright future.

So with the appearance of Sister Ningqing, I can feel relieved. At least, you can be very happy even without me in your world."

An Xiaomi's words seemed to be truly relieved, but there was still some helplessness in his tone.

An Xiaomi would not say these words before, but now, she can finally say them without any concealment.

"Xiaomi, I said I would invite the best doctors in the world and provide you with the best hospitals. I will definitely cure you!"

An Xiaomi looked at his serious and even serious expression, but couldn't help but smile.

The corners of her eyes were slightly moist, but her smile was unusually warm. She said sweetly: "I believe you, but I also know my disease well. Even the best doctors and hospitals in the world cannot guarantee 100% success.

Rate."

"The odds are already very high, believe in yourself..."

"But I really don't want to gamble anymore, Zhimu, I know you want to compensate me and give me an explanation, but in fact you don't owe me. On the contrary... all of this is the result of my own willfulness."

An Xiaomi still smiled, and she poked Xu Zhimu's cheek: "Besides, I said from the beginning, I don't need you to give me anything, I like you, and you like me... I used to worry that if I didn't

Yes, you won't be able to accept it.

But now, you have Sister Ningqing. Even if I am gone, you can live a good life. I have put down the burden, but I am becoming more and more greedy... Just like in the beginning, I just wanted to stay silently

It's just around you..."

People are always becoming more and more greedy. For example, many people just want to know each other's name at first.

Moreover, people are not gods after all, and An Xiaomi is just a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.

It's impossible to ask her to be as comprehensive as a saint. Young people won't do one or two stupid things.

An Xiaomi gently leaned against Xu Zhimu's ear, her sweet tone flowing between the two of them.

"Zhimu, you said if, when you started to change in your senior year of high school, I chose to leave you silently, wouldn't these things happen, and you wouldn't have to be so entangled, or am I just too greedy..."

Xu Zhimu turned his head, looked into An Xiaomi's watery eyes, stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek.

"Could it be that if you leave, these things won't happen?"

Xu Zhimu squeezed her a little harder: "Who in the world can say that they are not greedy? Since I have met you in this life, then don't even think about running away. Just run away after flirting. Don't you think you are a scumbag?"

Being pinched in the face and called a scumbag, An Xiaomi's cheeks were red, she felt a little unconvinced and felt guilty.

"Zhimu, if I can be as healthy as a normal girl, then I will definitely strive for our happiness. After all... I am the girl you have liked the longest in your life and who has occupied your entire youth!"

An Xiaomi said with a little pride that the thing she was most proud of was that she and Xu Zhimu were childhood sweethearts for nearly twenty years.

Xu Zhimu's entire youth was taken care of by her alone. This was an advantage that even Sister Ningqing did not have.

"Zhimu, if I say those words about being together with you today, it will be a hurt to both the family and Sister Ningqing.

If I am healthy, I will have enough time to compensate them slowly.

But my body is like a time bomb, maybe one day... I don't want to hurt them without even having a chance to atone..."

An Xiaomi finally expressed all her concerns.

It is inevitable for people to do wrong things, but if there is not even a chance to atone, then all that will be left is the harm to others.

This is unfair to the family, unfair to Ningqing, and even more unfair to Xu Zhimu.

Xu Zhimu looked at her. This young girl who had always been optimistic and cheerful was always preparing for the worst...

"Zhimu, do you still remember what I said to Uncle Xu today?"

An Xiaomi suddenly mentioned this again.

Of course Xu Zhimu remembered it and nodded.

An Xiaomi looked at him and hugged him gently: "If God can bless the success of the operation, then God agrees that we can be together. By that time, you can't get rid of me even if you want to!"

Xu Zhimu looked at her as if he had seen a day in his senior year of high school.

An Xiaomi raised her white neck like a proud swan and said, "You want me to be your girlfriend? Okay, I will promise you as long as you can get into Binhai University..."

This scene is so similar.

Only this time, it was the last gamble An Xiaomi made with his life.

Xu Zhimu looked at her blankly, and finally smiled a little: "I have been drawing cakes for others all my life, and you are the only one who draws cakes for me again and again."

"So... I'm still very special to you?"

An Xiaomi was even a little proud, but the slight accumulation of tears in the corners of her eyes still revealed her inner emotions.

Xu Zhimu looked at her and finally spoke softly.

"You always have been."

These few words fell in An Xiaomi's heart, and they seemed to plant seeds that could be reborn from the ashes.

Her smile is like a gardenia blooming in spring.
