"Tolerance."

Shi Miao called him again.

Rong Ji only hummed.

"You haven't promised me yet."

"I didn't say I was going to promise you."

After Rong Ji's words were finished, Shi Miao suddenly fell silent.

Then, she said, "Then I'm not going to have surgery."

Her words made Rong Ji's brows immediately wrinkle, "What did you say?"

"I don't want to have surgery anymore." Shi Miao repeated his words again.

"You dare?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? This is my own body, and I can't call the shots yet?"

As he spoke, Shi Miao also withdrew his hand and stepped back a few points.

The sudden temperature of being withdrawn made Rong both very flustered, and his hand stretched out without thinking about it, wanting to hug her back.

But Shi Miao didn't give him this chance.

Her hand pressed tightly against his chest, not letting him get any closer to her.

"Yu, Shi, Miao."

Rong Ji's voice was already a bit of gnashing of teeth.

In the past, Shi Miao may have relented, but this time she did not make any concessions.

After being silent for a while, Rong Ji simply took his hand back, turned on the bedside light next to him, sat up and looked at her, "Yu Shimiao, did you think about me when you said these words?"

Shi Miao pursed her lips and didn't move.

"Yu Shimiao, I never thought about it." Rong said, "I can't imagine it...... If you're gone, how am I going to live?"

Can a person survive without a soul?

Perhaps, but that's just the walking dead.

There is simply no need to survive.

He was absolutely unwilling to live such a life.

So, he preferred to go with her.

"We said that." Rong Ji said, "We have to be together for the rest of our lives, life after life, and you have forgotten about it, right?"

"I haven't forgotten." Shi Miao sat up and said in a dumb voice, "But...... None of us thought about this situation at that time, did we? I may be here, but you still have a long way to go in this life, and you can't ...... because of me."

"As long as your life is, so will my life." Rong interrupted her.

Shi Miao was speechless.

After staring at Rong Ji for a while, she simply stepped forward, put her hand on his shoulder, and kissed him on the lips.

In the past, it was always a kiss of satisfaction and happiness, but at this time there was a clear bitterness.

It was also the first time, when she kissed him, he didn't give any response, and even the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, not giving her half a chance.

Shi Miao slowly let go of him, still grabbing his collar with his hand, and whispered, "What if it's you? If the roles were reversed this time, would you want me to make the same choice as you?"

Rong Ji frowned.

- In the past, he naturally hoped for it.

After all, if he leaves, even if he can arrange things to be foolproof, there will always be accidents in this world.

Moreover, he was not afraid of those who coveted his property, he was only afraid that others would covet her.

When he thought of those men who had ill intentions towards her, he was angry and had a heart attack.

So in the past, he always thought that if he really left early one day, he must take her with him.

In this way, they are really together for the rest of their lives.

But now he doesn't think so.

He just wanted her to be happy—whether he was with him or not.

Even, if she is not there, and there is a man by her side who can make her happy and bring her happiness...... It's also good.

It's just that he is not the one who is leaving early now.

Seriously, Rong would rather be himself.

"You want me to live well, don't you?

Shi Miao looked at him and said softly, "Me too, even if you can meet better people in the future, you can ......

Before Shi Miao's words were finished, Rong Ji had already grabbed her waist and gritted his teeth, "There won't be."

Shi Miao didn't speak anymore, just stared at him.

After looking at her for a while, Rong Ji suddenly loosened his hand a little, then took her into his arms, and said softly, "Never again, San'er, you are unique."

"Can you promise me, then?" Shi Miao asked again.

"Okay." Rong replied in a bitter voice, "I promise you."

Shi Miao finally relieved himself, put his hand around his waist, and said, "Don't worry, I will also work hard, I just want to have peace of mind."

"Well, Yu San'er, you are at ease." Rong took a deep breath, "Have you ever thought about me?"

Shi Miao raised her head, resting her chin on his chest, and replied, "Of course, I just think about you, that's why I hope you can promise me."

"Compared to Rong Yan and Rong Xi, the person I'm more worried about is you, so Rong Ji, whether I'm here or not, you must live well, you know?"

Rong Ji closed his eyes for a moment, "Hmm."

The next day, Shi Miao went to the hospital again.

This time she told the two children first, so they also acted very calm.

On the surface, of course, it seems.

Shi Miao pretended not to see the red eyes of both of them, and only squatted down and hugged them, "It's okay, I'm busy with the formalities today, so you can go to see your mother tomorrow, okay?"

The two kept nodding.

Rong Yan also said before Shi Miao could speak, "Don't worry, I will take care of Xixi."

Shi Miao smiled, "Okay."

Xiao Yongxi also said, "Mom, I'll take care of myself."

"I know." Shi Miao rubbed her head again, "I'll call you a video at night, remember to pick it up."

Both nodded in unison.

After saying goodbye, Shi Miao finally got into the car.

Rong Ji sat beside her and quickly took her hand.

Shi Miao didn't look at him, just stared at the two small figures outside the window.

Despite her efforts, she couldn't help but reddened her eyes at this time.

Rong Ji clenched her hand a little tighter.

"I'm fine." After Shi Miao sorted out his emotions, he turned his head and said to him.

Rong didn't expose her, only sighed.

After a pause, Shi Miao asked him, "What time is it today?"

"It's almost November."

Shi Miao nodded, looked out the window, and suddenly whispered, "I hope the operation can be done sooner."

"Why?"

"There's no why."

Yung knew what she was thinking—it wasn't long before his birthday came.

Although he never had a birthday and they never celebrated, they always remembered the date.

So Rong also knew what the reason she was trying to avoid was.

He didn't say anything, just ran his fingers through hers, tightening them a little more.

"I'll talk to the doctor." He said, "Yu San'er, what if...... If you can do it before that day, you can accompany me for my birthday, okay?"
