Ouyang was wearing a pair of large black sunglasses that covered most of his face. His head was completely bare, as if it was a light bulb.

However, even though he was fully armed, he still couldn't escape everyone's attention and was quickly recognized.

Or rather, it is more conspicuous.

As for Zhou Ling'er standing next to him, there is no need to mention her. Everyone knows that she is about to become Ouyang's wife.

Everyone knew what was going on, so they were very conscious not to disturb this happy couple.

However, the girls in the crowd who were more sensitive and easily moved couldn't help but have their eyes slightly red when they saw Ouyang and Zhou Ling'er's loving look.

But they also knew in their hearts that what these two people needed most at this moment was not sympathy and pity, but sincere blessings.

Ouyang heard Xia Ruoan's words and decided to plant an apple tree after graduation. The beautiful meaning contained in it was really touching.

He held Zhou Ling'er's soft little hand tightly, looked at her with regret and said, "Ling'er, if time could go back, I really should plant an apple tree! Maybe it would bless you to be safe and healthy forever."

Although Ouyang himself knew that planting trees for peace was just a psychological comfort.

Hearing Ouyang's affectionate words, Zhou Ling'er's face bloomed with a smile as bright as a spring flower.

She shook her head gently and replied softly, "Actually, I think a persimmon tree is also a good choice. In autumn, the tree is full of bright red persimmons, which is so beautiful! And I heard that persimmons also symbolize good luck."

"The persimmon tree you planted is growing luxuriantly and bearing abundant fruit! I'm sure it will bring us a lot of good luck."

"I have always dreamed of becoming your wife. I didn't expect that this wish would come true next month! Being with you is really the happiest thing in my life." Zhou Ling'er smiled and gently comforted the man in front of her.

However, her expression quickly turned gloomy and full of guilt. "It's just... I really feel bad because I have to temporarily leave you alone. Ouyang, please don't blame me."

After saying that, Zhou Ling'er couldn't help but lower her head, her eyes full of apology.

Ouyang stared at her silently, slowly squatted down, stretched out his hands and gently held Zhou Ling'er's thin face, then gently and affectionately kissed her smooth forehead.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with cherishment for Zhou Ling'er and tender affection. And at this heartwarming moment, a passerby happened to capture it.

Not long after, this photo was posted on the school forum.

Originally, everyone came to pick persimmons to bring good luck, but unexpectedly, what appeared on the forum homepage this time was not the scene of a bumper harvest of red persimmons hanging on the branches, but the two highly-anticipated couples in the Horticulture Department - Xia Ruoan and Leng Zexi, and Ouyang and Zhou Ling'er.

For the former, people are more envious; as for the latter, they feel a bit regretful.

Despite this, everyone still sent their sincere and beautiful blessings to the two pairs of lovers.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's the grand and romantic wedding of Ouyang and Zhou Ling'er. What surprises Xia Ruoan is that Qiao Xin actually appears at the wedding.

"Senior Qiao..." Xia Ruoan looked at her with a worried look on her face, secretly praying in her heart that this senior sister would not do anything bad and cause trouble!

You know, if it was in the past, she might not have been so worried, but after listening to Senior Sister Bai Shuang's story about Qiao Xin's suicide attempt, a deep worry flashed across her eyes.

This is totally unlike what the normally rational and calm Senior Sister Qiao would do.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan's mind was in turmoil. She thought of the hardships that Sister Ling'er had endured in order to ensure that today's wedding could be held smoothly. Not only did she have to take medicine on time to control her disease, but she also had to endure the extremely painful chemotherapy process.

No matter what, she would never allow anyone to ruin the wedding.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xin naturally didn't ignore Xia Ruoan's obvious wariness of her. She couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head, asking softly, "Ruoan, is it a mistake to pursue someone you like unilaterally? I just happened to like Ouyang, but unfortunately, his heart already belongs to someone else."

Having said this, Qiao Xin paused for a moment, then continued with a determined gaze, "Zhou Ling'er only has a few months left to live. I'm confident I can afford to wait even a few months."

She never gave up her deep affection for Ouyang.

Before this, it was because Ouyang was always concerned about Zhou Ling'er that the road of this relationship became bumpy.

However, Zhou Ling'er is now on the verge of death. Even though Ouyang loves her deeply, he can only bury this feeling deep in his heart and think about her silently.

After all, Zhou Ling'er would never be able to appear before the public again. She found it hard to accept the fact that she had lost to a deceased person.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan opened her red lips, but found that she didn't know where to start to persuade.

Because what Qiao Xin said was not wrong, Sister Ling'er was indeed about to pass away, but how could Senior Brother Ouyang give up this relationship so easily?

"Even after Sister Ling'er passed away, Senior Brother Ouyang still couldn't let it go. It's probably even more impossible for him to fall in love with you in the future. Do you still want to be so stubborn?" Xia Ruoan stared at Qiao Xin and asked softly.

Facing this question, Qiao Xin was slightly startled, then replied firmly, "I can't help but feel that you're judging me this way. But I just want to tell you clearly that I only want him. Even if I can't ultimately replace Zhou Ling'er's position in his heart, I want to be the one who can always be by his side!"

Qiao Xin's eyes were extremely determined, as if she had made up her mind and would not give up until she achieved her goal.

"Ruoan, you're too happy. You won't understand me. When you were with Zhou Mufan before, he treated you well. Even when he betrayed you, he chose to hide it from you. He still had you in his heart."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared in South Garden last time when we were picking persimmons."

"Now that you're with Leng Zexi, who wouldn't envy you as a rich girl in the entertainment industry? Even if you lost Zhou Mufan, you could still find a husband as good as Leng Zexi."

Qiao Xin laughed at herself, "But what about me? I've been chasing Ouyang for almost seven years, and I've been treated like a joke for seven years. It was fine when Zhou Ling'er was still around, but now she's almost dead. Why can't I pursue my own happiness? If I can't compare to a dead person, not only others, but even myself, I'll look down on myself."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not cause trouble when I come here today." Qiao Xin said expressionlessly. As soon as she finished speaking, she walked straight to her seat without hesitation.

Looking at Qiao Xin's resolute back, Xia Ruoan felt confused and worried. He really couldn't understand why she, who was once gentle and kind, had become so extreme.

"Ruoan, don't go over there!" Just as Xia Ruoan was about to catch up with Qiao Xin, Leng Zexi quickly reached out and grabbed her.

"But I'm really worried about her current condition. If she sees Senior Brother Ouyang and Sister Ling'er coming out later, she might be greatly shocked."

Xia Ruoan said with a worried look on her face that whether it was Ouyang, Zhou Ling'er, or Qiao Xin, she sincerely hoped that everyone could be safe and sound and that no accidents would happen.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for security personnel to keep a close eye on her situation."

"Also, Bai Shuang and Qiao Yu will be here soon. I'll have them brought to sit next to Qiao Xin. That way, with them watching over us, nothing should go wrong."

Leng Zexi gently patted Xia Ruoan's shoulder to comfort her, while calmly analyzing the current situation.

Hearing Leng Zexi's words, Xia Ruoan breathed a sigh of relief, but a trace of unease still remained in her heart: "Senior Brother Ouyang actually dared to invite Qiao Xin to the wedding. Isn't he afraid that Qiao Xin will do something extreme and ruin the wedding?"

Thinking of this, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but feel a headache. He couldn't understand what Senior Brother Ouyang had considered to make such a seemingly risky decision. After all, Qiao Xin's current condition was as dangerous as a time bomb that could explode at any time.

Leng Zexi softly soothed her, "Since Ouyang has the guts to invite guests, he will definitely not give Qiao Xin the chance to disrupt his wedding. His intentions are as firm as a rock."

Xia Ruoan's eyes flashed with disbelief when she heard this. She turned to Leng Zexi and asked softly, "Was this invitation sent by my senior brother himself?"

Leng Zexi nodded slightly and explained, "Yes, the invitation to Qiao Xin didn't come from the academy. It was specially prepared for Qiao Xin. I personally delivered the invitation to the academy and asked Qiao Yu to pass it on."

He stared at Xia Ruoan and continued, "I'm afraid that Ouyang's move will make Qiao Xin completely give up that idea." After he finished speaking, there seemed to be a subtle sense of determination and relief in the air.

"He told me that Qiao Xin had given up herself in order to pursue him and chose to dress up as Zhou Ling'er. He knew that, so he wanted her to give up and not be a stand-in."

"Also, his heart is very small, so small that it can only hold Zhou Ling'er. It's impossible for him and Qiao Xin to be together. After all, she is just a junior in the same academy. I hope she can come to her senses and return to the right path as soon as possible."
