Zii’s drunkenness had sobered up quite a bit at this mont. She felt a little embarrassed and buried her face in the man’s chest, "No..."
Ye Cheng filled the bathtub with water and then carried Zii into it: "Shall we bathe together, hmm?"
Zii had not even said no when she heard the sound of the man stepping into the bathtub. She nervously held onto the edge of the tub. The intensity of their earlier encounter had left her entire body sore, and she didn’t want it to happen again.
While her mind was wandering, Ye Cheng had already sat down behind her, wrapping his arms around her smooth, fair skin.
"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything, I’ll just hold you like this." Ye Cheng’s thin lips grazed her sensitive earlobe as he spoke in a low voice.
Zii’s heart was pounding, and she mumbled an uneasy sound of agreent.
The steam rising from the bathtub made them drowsy, and combined with the amount of alcohol she had consud, it wasn’t long before she was dozing off against Ye Cheng’s body.
The man quietly watched her peaceful sleeping face for a while, then smiled slightly and got up to carry her out.
"A zi, have sweet dreams." Ye Cheng leaned down to kiss Zii’s forehead before lying down with her and closing his eyes contentedly as he held her.
For the first ti in three years, he felt truly happy. No matter how many suitors he had, only Zii could bring him genuine joy.
He hoped this ti, they wouldn’t be separated for any reason.
...
When winter ca again, Zii had undergone nurous treatnts. It was a long process, with them flying to Country M for treatnt at Professor Berlant’s every two weeks.
Fortunately, the results were quite promising.
After the final treatnt session, Professor Berlant called Ye Cheng aside for a private conversation.
"Mr. Ye, given Miss Zii’s current condition, the next step would be a cornea transplant surgery. Are you sure you want to donate your cornea? This will cause one of your eyes to go blind..."
Ye Cheng’s resolve did not waver, and he responded with determination, "I’m sure. But there is one thing I need to ask of you: if she inquires about the donor of the cornea, please tell her it was an anonymous donation, and the donor’s identity is unknown."
He did not want Zii to know the truth, as that would make her live with guilt.
This secret he would carry to his grave.
Professor Berlant looked at him deeply, touched by his words, "Alright, I promise you, Mr. Ye. You love Miss Zii so deeply, I sincerely wish you both happiness."
"Thank you." Ye Cheng faintly curled his lips.
As the day of the surgery approached, Zii felt both anticipated and anxious.
She had been in the dark for too long and yearned to see the light again soon. Although the success rate of cornea transplants was 90%, there were still uncertainties.
The day before the surgery happened to be Zii’s birthday.
As night fell, Ye Cheng drove her out, saying he had a surprise for her.
Zii was very curious about what it could be and questioned him along the way, but Ye Cheng kept his lips sealed and wouldn’t reveal a single word. After they arrived at the destination, he parked the car and held her hand as they walked forward.
"A Cheng, where are we?" Zii couldn’t help but ask.
"You’ll find out in a mont."
The man was still being mysterious.
Zii had no choice but to use her senses, perking up her ears to listen for any sounds around them.
It was peacefully quiet, with no sound of people or vehicles, leading her to uncertainly say, "You wouldn’t be taking for a stroll in the wilderness, would you?"
