"What happened? Did you fall?"
Xiao Jinghuai knocked on the door again, sounding very anxious—
"Oh, I’m fine." Song Song hurriedly got up from the floor, "I just accidentally...you, you should go to sleep!"
"Are you really okay?"
"Yes, I’m really okay." Song Song rubbed her grazed knee, "I’m not the sa as I was four years ago, I’m not that delicate anymore."
Xiao Jinghuai paused slightly, wanted to say sothing but finally chose to leave in silence.
She was right, she’s no longer the naive girl from four years ago. Just seeing how she handled Xu Lang shows she’s... beco much tougher.
Song Song listened carefully to the departing footsteps, her nerves slightly relaxed, then she touched the edge of the bed and climbed in. But no matter how she tried, she couldn’t fall asleep and spent the whole night like this.
Early in the morning, there was another knock on the door. Song Song imdiately sat up in bed, "Who is it?"
"It’s ."
"Master Three." Song Song hurriedly got out of bed, not yet accustod to being unable to see, and took another hard fall.
Lan Yuzhe heard the sound and rushed in, seeing her fallen by the window, "Look at you, are you hurt?"
"No." Song Song gritted her teeth and stood up, "Master Three, can you help to the bathroom, after I freshen up, we’ll go to the hospital."
"Yes, alright—"
Lan Yuzhe stood outside the bathroom door waiting, "Song Song, are you really not planning to tell Xiao Jinghuai?"
Going blind is sothing that can’t be hidden for long.
"For now, let’s not ntion it. We’ll see after we hear what the doctor says at the hospital."
Lan Yuzhe naturally respected her wishes, just afraid that he might get lectured by Xiao Jinghuai afterward. Just imagining what he would say: how could you not tell sothing so serious, but you’d tell your Master Three?
Sigh! So n just get jealous over nothing.
Since it was still early, when they left the Xiao Family, no one noticed.
They arrived at the hospital before the doctors’ working hours. Lan Yuzhe hadn’t lived outside for a long ti and didn’t understand this systematic hospital; after registering, an hour had passed, and the doctors gradually started their consultations.
Lan Yuzhe helped Song Song to sit on the bench and said, "Her eyes suddenly went blind; please check them, doctor."
The doctor looked up while holding a pen and suddenly frowned, "I’ll first give you a form for so tests; show the results afterward."
"...Alright." Lan Yuzhe felt these days doctors were unreliable, seeing them for a second and then issuing test orders.
After they left, the doctor took out his phone and dialed a number from his pocket, "Hello! Is President Jiang there?"
"President what? Talk like a person—" Jiang Yixiu replied heartily.
"Haha, well, the man your friend ntioned... ca here to check his eyes. Seems like there’s sudden blindness, that incredibly ugly man."
Since Jiang Yixiu’s true identity was revealed, hospital staff wanted to connect with him, and without a reason, so could only try hard to find any opportunity. Now having a chance, it wouldn’t go unmissed—
Back when at the hospital, Jiang Yixiu wasn’t a hotshot because he was laid-back and not keen on socializing.
Since resigning, he sporadically received calls from forr colleagues, more than when he was employed, with greetings that felt sheerly ridiculous.
However, today’s call didn’t upset him.
"Are you sure? Didn’t mistake soone?" Jiang Yixiu leaned back and removed his glasses, pinching the bridge of his nose as he asked.
"Of course not; my eyesight is the best."
"Oh, is that so!" Jiang Yixiu’s eyes turned a shade darker, "Hey! Thanks, brother, might treat you to drinks soday."
"Alright then, President Jiang, keep your word; I’ve been looking forward to it!"
Jiang Yixiu hung up the phone and launched WeChat, sending a ssage to a group where he was the only chatty one: Old Xiao, sothing happened.
Jin Bao Yan: Lunatic.
Huo Junting: ...
Soon, Jiang Yixiu received an incoming call from Xiao Jinghuai, "What do you an?"
"I’m saying maybe sothing happened to Song Song, are you... unable to find her now?" Jiang Yixiu wasn’t even sure of his own feelings.
No matter when seeing Xiao Jinghuai struck with embarrassnt seed perpetually one of his life’s goals.
"Speak up already!" Clearly, Xiao Jinghuai lacked patience over the phone.
Jiang Yixiu chuckled, "My forr colleague called saying... Song Song’s at the hospital for an eye examination, seems like she’s blind. How do you even function as a husband like that? Your wife’s eyes are in trouble, and you’re clueless about it!"
"Hey! Don’t hang up, I haven’t finished ridiculing yet! You..."
Unfortunately, the person on the other end had already hung up, leaving nothing but a "beep beep beep" sound.
...
Ultimately, visiting for an eye check yielded nothing significant, after nurous tests, the result was possibly temporary sudden blindness—and rest at ho might help.
Hearing this diagnosis infuriated Lan Yuzhe so much that he pulled Song Song out of the hospital. Usually the gentle and refined young gentleman beca angry, "What a lousy hospital? What pathetic doctors? A dog would make a better check; let’s go ho."
"Wait—"
"What’s the matter?" Lan Yuzhe asked in confusion, "Are you afraid of Xiao Jinghuai...?"
Song Song smiled awkwardly, "I...I’m not ready yet, can we go back later?"
"You’re avoiding, co on, with , you’re heading back. You’re a couple; when issues arise you must face them together, understand?"
Song Song’s lips opened and closed; while she understood, it truly required courage to act—
She was now both hideous and blind, really hard to accept.
Considering, if she were Xiao Jinghuai, she might find it difficult to accept too.
Thinking this way, there ca a cold voice mixed with anger behind her, "What’s going on with you!"
Lan Yuzhe’s heart skipped a beat; indeed, they’d been discovered, he imdiately released the hold on the girl, turned around with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, I have so matters, Song Song, I’ll leave her to you."
Song Song: "..."
What the hell? How did Master Three just bail out like that?
Not a true comrade, good ntor? Traitor!
Xiao Jinghuai, with a stern face, watched the man leave, then turned his gaze to the woman not far away, her once luminous eyes now lacked spark, as if shrouded in mist.
With his arms folded, he approached, "In your heart, is my worth less than Lan Yuzhe’s?"
"...That’s not true." Song Song bit her lip, "I just didn’t want you to be too burdened."
Being with her was tough, constantly facing various chaotic situations.
Yesterday they were happy, yet today she’s blind—
Sotis she wondered if they weren’t ant to be together, perhaps violating so taboo, maybe she really should find ti to get a fortune read at a temple.
"You always do this, always this way!"
The man suddenly grew fierce, disregarding the surroundings, pulled her close, and bit her lip.
