"It should be getting better soon!" Nangong Ruyue nodded confidently, "We’ve finally seen a bit of hope, haven’t we?"

In fact, his illness was not yet cured.

But at this moment, he really wanted to be good to her.

However, he knew that this state wouldn’t last long.

He was like a mental patient, and clarity only came occasionally.

Seeing his gloomy expression, Nangong Ruyue retracted the smile from her lips, "Zexin, what’s wrong with you?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"...Ruyue, I’m sorry." He answered without actually addressing her question, "I’m sorry..."

Nangong Ruyue smiled, "Didn’t I say, I’m not blaming you, besides, you didn’t hurt me."

"Wasn’t what I did already hurting you?" Xiao Zexin tensed his body, his voice a bit hoarse.

"It wasn’t!"

Xiao Zexin chuckled self-deprecatingly, "You don’t have to comfort me."

Nangong Ruyue took the plate from his hand and set it aside.

She held his hand firmly, her tone sincere, "Really, that wasn’t hurtful!"

Xiao Zexin lifted his gaze, meeting hers.

"True harm isn’t like this. You’re sick, your true self never wanted to hurt me. As long as you haven’t hurt my heart, I don’t care about the rest!"

"Even if I accidentally lost this child back then... you don’t blame me?" Xiao Zexin asked with difficulty.

Nangong Ruyue nodded, "I don’t blame you! I would feel regret and sadness, but I wouldn’t hate, wouldn’t blame you. To speak from the heart, in my heart, you are more important than myself."

Xiao Zexin’s mind was deeply moved!

She actually loved him to this extent.

Back then he loved her very much, deeply, and sincerely.

At that time, she was like the moon in the sky, just being able to have her was satisfying enough.

Even though she also said she loved him, he never felt secure.

It turned out he now realized that her love for him was no less.

Xiao Zexin held her hand in return, too moved to speak.

Nangong Ruyue also gripped his hand tightly, her heart filled with excitement.

"Zexin, I really love you, if you love me as much, please cherish yourself for me, okay?"

"Okay." Xiao Zexin nodded.

"Don’t hurt yourself anymore. Every time you hurt yourself, I feel as if those wounds are on me, just as painful."

She wasn’t foolish and naturally noticed the wounds on his leg were knife wounds.

After asking, she learned he had done it to himself.

She didn’t understand why he would hurt himself, but she was certain it had something to do with her.

Upon learning he had cruelly stabbed himself, she was utterly shocked.

At the same time, she thought he was being too foolish.

Who stabs themselves, truly silly.

Xiao Zexin still nodded, "Okay, I promise you."

Nangong Ruyue was even happier, "And your illness, don’t let it weigh too heavily in your heart. Your illness will definitely be cured, you must have confidence in yourself, okay?"

"Okay." Xiao Zexin smiled, his eyes fixed on her unblinkingly.

"The doctors said that the hallucinogen will soon be completely eradicated, and then you’ll be cured."

The smile in Xiao Zexin’s eyes dimmed slightly.

But Nangong Ruyue didn’t notice.

She was immersed in the joy of his soon-to-be recovery, while he couldn’t feel much joy.

Because he knew that now what was affecting him was not the hallucinogen, but himself.

His nerves had problems, maybe he could recover quickly.

Maybe, his condition would get progressively worse...

Nangong Ruyue said many things, and Xiao Zexin quietly listened the entire time.
