Not only was it disfiguring, but the main issue was the pain, especially when a slight breeze blew, the pain was searing.
"Oh." Song Ze nodded.
"Ah Ze, are you afraid of surgery?" Ye Ranran looked out the window.
"What do you mean by surgery?" Song Ze asked innocently.
"It means someone opens a hole in your brain, are you afraid?"
"Will it hurt?" Song Ze shrank his neck, probably recalling being hit in the past.
It really hurt back then, so much that he wanted to cry.
But he was a man, and he couldn't cry.
"It won't hurt, they'll give you anesthesia, and when you wake up, you'll be very smart."
"Then, can I protect my sister then?"
"Yes." But by then, he probably won't remember her, this make-shift "sister," and as for protecting...
Would he protect an enemy of the Song Family?
She couldn't do it herself, so how could she expect him to?
"Then I'm not afraid." As long as he could protect her, he wasn't scared.
