The sky was already bright when I woke up, but there was no one by my side.

It suddenly struck me, remembering the final scene from yesterday when I took Liu Yinong to shower.

I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Hehe, hehehe.

I got out of bed and slowly walked to the living room, where I saw Liu Yinnong cooking noodles in the kitchen.

She heard the sound and turned to look at me, smiling. "Awake? Go freshen up, it'll be ready soon."

I replied with an "Oh" but didn't leave, reaching out to hold her waist.

I pressed my ear against her hair, just wanting to hold her and never let go.

Liu Yinnong put down the spoon and squeezed my hand.

"I'm right here, I won't leave," she told me, then lifted her head and kissed the corner of my lips.

After I finished freshening up, she brought two bowls of noodles. One bowl was mine, topped with stir-fried shredded pork.

The other bowl was hers, only with vegetables and a few drops of oil.

Without hesitation, I switched the two bowls and chattered on, "You've lost so much weight. You should eat more meat and gradually gain it back."

Liu Yinnong pursed her lips and said, "Yizhou, I'm not eating meat anymore."

I was taken aback, and in an instant, all the literature I had feverishly read and browsed about post-traumatic stress disorder, came rushing back to my mind.

I quickly switched the bowls back and devoured the noodles, saying, "Then I'll eat it. I also want to gain some weight."

However, Liu Yinnong put down her chopsticks.

She slowly said, "I have many physical and mental issues. I can't stand sharp noises, can't drive, can't eat meat. I have multiple fractures in my body, knee injuries, and may not be able to walk in the future. The same goes for my eyes, the risk of blindness is much higher than an average person's..."

I didn't dare to look at her, burying my head and gulping down the noodles, desperately trying to hide the sound of my heavy breathing from her.

Then I heard her say, "I'm not a healthy person, so you can leave me at any time. I promise, no one will interfere with your choice."

I looked at her, but she just smiled.

She was sincerely giving me a right, the right to leave her at any time without any moral or even legal responsibility.

I also put down my chopsticks and said, "Let's register our marriage tomorrow."

Liu Yinnong's expression was somewhat astonished. "What?"

I said, "The cooling-off period for divorce has already passed. I have obtained the divorce certificate from Fang Yao. The law doesn't state that a recently divorced man cannot marry immediately, right? Or is it that you don't want to marry me?"

She looked at me in silence.

I put my own bowl and the used pot into the sink, turned the water on to the maximum, squeezed dishwashing liquid, and vigorously scrubbed away the oil stains.

Using this as a way to calm myself down.

I sat back in front of her.

"I can drive, and I can push your wheelchair in the future. If you go blind, I'll be your eyes. It's okay to block out the sharp noises; I can cover your ears. Not eating meat is also fine; there are many ways to supplement protein."

Because I was a bit annoyed, my speech became faster. Finally, I slowed down and looked at her.

"Everything you mentioned has a solution. These are not reasons for us to separate. I won't leave you, and I hope you can stand by my side to face difficulties together, instead of pushing me to the safe and stable side, while bearing everything alone."

Liu Yinnong walked over and held my hand.

I pried her hand open and glared at her, saying, "If you say such things again in the future, I'll really get angry."

She leaned down and hugged me, her voice almost like a sigh, "I won't. Yizhou, I love you."
