"You should know better than me what kind of person Ouyang is. How could he dislike you just because of your appearance?" Zhou's mother looked at her daughter and said.

Zhou Ling'er leaned in her mother's arms and calmed down a little, but the uneasiness in her heart still lingered.

"Qiao Xin pursued him for seven years. After I left, Qiao Xin has been by his side. I can see that Qiao Xin really likes him. If I could see them together, maybe I would have no regrets."

Speaking of this, Zhou Ling'er couldn't stop her tears from flowing.

"The person I love, even if I leave this world, there will still be other people who like and love him like me." Zhou Ling'er looked straight at the mother in front of her and spoke slowly.

Although I feel unwilling, as long as Ouyang can live a happy life, that is enough.

When Zhou's mother heard her daughter's words, she didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.

After a moment's silence, she softly said, "Ling'er, let's think more about ourselves, okay? After all, the one year the doctor mentioned is already a relatively optimistic estimate. If we take the most conservative scenario, there's only half a year left at most."

At this point, Zhou's mother hugged her daughter tightly and continued, "In the next year, no matter what you want to do, mom and dad will fully support you and fulfill your wishes."

"We will never restrict your freedom again. You can go wherever you want. Let Ouyang accompany you, okay? Also, Mom promises you that no one else will interfere between you and Ouyang."

"During this year, Ouyang belongs to you alone, and no one else will come between you." Zhou's mother hoped that her daughter could feel endless happiness and joy in the last days of her life.

After a long and earnest persuasion, he finally helped his daughter put on makeup and put on the special wig for her. This wig was made by someone who had specially asked his daughter to give up her own hair.

At that time, I just wanted to keep it as a memory, because Ling'er has always cherished her beautiful black and shiny hair the most.

Zhou Ling'er gently stroked her long hair, her heart filled with nostalgia.

She slowly raised her head and looked at her mother, with a hint of expectation and anxiety in her eyes, and asked softly: "Mom, do you think I look better like this?"

Mother Zhou gazed at her beautiful daughter and nodded without hesitation. She replied in a firm yet gentle tone, "My Ling'er has always been so beautiful! Now she is even more beautiful, absolutely beautiful."

Although Zhou Ling'er knew that her mother's words were more for comforting her, she still smiled brightly when she heard her mother's praise.

Then, Zhou Ling'er seemed to have thought of something and said, "Mom, if Ouyang comes, please let him in."

Zhou's mother said "OK" and turned away. However, at that moment, tears began to flow uncontrollably down her cheeks.

Yes, what woman in the world doesn't love beauty? Moreover, a girl like Ling'er who has loved beauty since childhood, especially in front of the person she loves, naturally wants to show her best side without reservation.

But now, seeing her daughter forcing a smile and pretending to be strong, Zhou's mother felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a needle.

If possible, she would do it without hesitation, even if it meant sacrificing her own life in exchange for her daughter's safety and health.

Mother Zhou slowly walked out of the room and her eyes fell on Ouyang, whose eyes were red.

She raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Come in."

Ouyang nodded slightly, gestured to Zhou's mother and father, and walked into the room with heavy steps.

At this moment, Zhou Ling'er, who was sitting by the bed, heard the footsteps approaching, and couldn't help feeling excited and nervous.

When she turned her head and saw Ouyang standing in front of her, the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and burst out like a flood.

Once, she thought that she would never have the chance to see Ouyang, the man she had been thinking about, again in this life.

After all, these long seven years were so difficult for her who was seriously ill.

She has done her best to persevere until now. Although the disease was discovered in time, it can only be treated as soon as possible to prolong her life.

Many times, the pain came as if millions of ants were gnawing at her body. The pain that penetrated deep into her bones often made it unbearable for her, and she even had thoughts of committing suicide.

However, whenever this thought came to mind, the caring faces of his parents and Ouyang's gentle and affectionate appearance flashed through his mind.

It is precisely because of these concerns that she can grit her teeth time and time again and fight the disease tenaciously to the end.

But even so, the long-term pain and suffering still made her haggard and emaciated.

Zhou Ling'er has always believed that she is strong enough to face all hardships alone.

But at this moment, when the man she deeply loved appeared before her, all her disguised strength collapsed in an instant, leaving only endless grievances and pain.

She looked at Ouyang with tearful eyes and said with trembling lips: "Ouyang, I'm in so much pain..."

Ouyang rushed to Zhou Ling'er in two steps and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Feeling the frail body of the person in his arms, his heart ached and tears streamed down his cheeks uncontrollably.

"I know, I'm sorry, Ling'er, I'm sorry... I made you suffer so much pain alone, and I knew nothing about it.

From now on, I will always be by your side. If the pain is unbearable, bite me hard and let me share the pain with you." Ouyang said as he gently stroked Zhou Ling'er's hair, his voice choked with sobs.

"I'm sorry. I don't want to hide it from you, but I'm so scared. I'm afraid I'll become ugly. I don't want you to see me ugly. I'm afraid you won't want to remember me anymore."

"I love you, but I'm also afraid that you will take responsibility for me out of guilt. I don't want to be a burden to you." Zhou Ling'er said crying.

Ouyang hugged her tightly and said, "You are not a burden. You have always been a burden to me. You are my lover, the only love of my life."

"Ling'er, let's get the marriage certificate. Become my wife and let me accompany you as your husband. Hasn't your dream since childhood been to get married with me and become my bride?"
