The man pressed a hand above her head, his tall body slightly bowed so that his eyes met hers.
When he stared at her with so much intensity in his depthless eyes, her heart skipped a beat. She hated herself for being so soft, and hated him for making her heart flutter on purpose.
Pressing her hands against his chest, she did not let him lean so close to her. “Can you talk to me properly?”
The man’s handsome face slowly leaned down, and the tips of their noses touched each other. “Do you know how worried I was in the afternoon?”
An Feng stared into his eyes that were as deep as wormholes that wanted to swallow people, her lashes fluttering. “Then do you know how bad I felt when I saw you hugging your first love?”
Helian Xiao chuckled softly, his well-defined nose brushing across her pretty face as his other hand moved to hug her slender waist. “Tell me, how did you see me hugging her? Was I hugging her like I am hugging you now?”
An Feng carefully recalled what she saw in the office in the afternoon.
Indeed, he wasn’t hugging Kuang Meiyue, it was only Kuang Meiyue leaning on his shoulder and crying.
An Feng furrowed her eyebrows. “But you let her lean on you and didn’t push her away!”
Helian Xiao looked into An Feng’s eyes, smiling faintly. “She lost her sight suddenly and was afraid, so she cried. I felt a little guilty at the thought that it was because of Mrs Ye in the past. It wasn’t because I still have feelings for her.”
An Feng was shocked. “She couldn’t see again?”
Helian Xiao nodded. “I have to go to the hospital tomorrow and look for the doctor.”
An Feng knew that Kuang Meiyue only lost her sight because of Mrs Ye in the past. Now that she couldn’t see again, Helian Xiao naturally wouldn’t sit back and ignore it.
An Feng could understand it.
Thinking back in detail, back in the office, although Kuang Meiyue was leaning on his shoulder, there was still a distance between them. It was not like when he hugged her every time, with barely any gaps between them.
As An Feng thought about it, Helian Xiao’s warm hand caressed An Feng’s face. She looked up, not expecting his face to be right in front of hers, so when she looked up, her lips accidentally grazed his lips.
He chuckled softly. “Why did you kiss me? Are you not angry anymore?”
An Feng felt that this person was really shameless.
How was she kissing him? He had clearly brought his face in front of hers.
It was as if he liked to see her blush, as humor flashed in his dark eyes.
Before she could say anything, he kissed her.
He then pushed her jaw apart, his tongue moving into her mouth to taste every inch of her mouth carefully before it inched further inside.
It was only when the deep kiss ended that he let go of her.
An Feng’s eyes were covered with a layer of moisture. She stared at him, saying while panting softly, “I’ll go with you tomorrow!”
She was a woman, and had an intuition that his first love definitely still had feelings for him.
Hearing that she wanted to go with him, a soft smile appeared on Helian Xiao’s handsome face. “Not bad, so you do know how to feel threatened.”
…
The next day.
Helian Xiao went to the office first. After his morning meeting, he drove back to the castle to have lunch with An Feng before they left for the hospital.
Seeing that An Feng had come with Helian Xiao, Kuang Meiyue felt slightly unhappy, but she didn’t show it on her face.
Helian Xiao got the doctor to do a full checkup for Kuang Meiyue’s eyes.
After the checkup, the doctor told them, “Ms Kuang can’t see because of a bacteria infection that infected her corneas. In this situation, we can only do another transplantation surgery for her.”
Kuang Meiyue’s body shook shakily, wanting to grab Helian Xiao’s arm. However, Helian Xiao avoided her slightly and hugged An Feng’s shoulder instead.
An Feng stared at Kuang Meiyue’s pale face. She asked the doctor, “Are the risks for the surgery very high?”
“It is the second surgery after all. If there are no signs of rejection, her vision can recover normally. However, every surgery has their risks. If the surgery failed, she might lose her sight permanently.”
Kuang Meiyue’s eyes immediately swelled with scared and helpless tears. She turned towards Helian Xiao, looking extremely pitiful. “Brother Xiao, I don’t want to become a blind person.”
Helian Xiao furrowed his eyebrows. “The surgery will succeed, don’t overthink it for now.”
Helian Xiao was going to meet an important client from overseas in the afternoon, so he left the hospital first.
An Feng left with Helian Xiao and returned to the castle. She seemed to have thought of something and made some soup, before she went to the hospital once more.
She could tell that Helian Xiao felt guilty towards Kuang Meiyue.
Even though he might not have any feelings for her anymore, if Kuang Meiyue’s eyes didn’t recover and she lost her sight permanently, her relationship with Helian Xiao might become a relationship with three people in the future.
She had just gotten together with Helian Xiao, and they were still trying to smooth out their differences. If Kuang Meiyue suddenly entered their relationship, An Feng didn’t know how long the relationship would last.
That was why she couldn’t sit around doing nothing anymore. She had to be sure of Kuang Meiyue’s thoughts.
…
When Kuang Meiyue saw An Feng bringing soup over, she was a little shocked.
Her vision came and left, and now, she could see An Feng clearly.
An Feng took better care of her skin than her, her skin fair and smooth with no visible wrinkles by her eyes. Her pretty appearance, together with her gentle and warm personality, made her appear younger.
Kuang Meiyue smiled. “Ms An, you brought soup for me? It’s so nice of you.”
An Feng placed the soup on the cabinet as she smiled quietly. “It’s nothing, as Helian’s other half, I naturally have to share his burdens. He feels guilty towards you for what happened back then, and hopes that your eyes will recover as soon as possible. I feel the same as well.”
Kuang Meiyue stared at An Feng for a few seconds, her expression slightly dark.
Seeing that Kuang Meiyue wasn’t speaking, An Feng poured a bowl of soup out.
Kuang Meiyue was about to reach out to take the bowl when a necklace she was holding onto fell to the floor and happened to land by An Feng’s leg.
The necklace’s pendant was a heart-shaped pendant with a photo placed inside. An Feng bent down and picked the necklace up, seeing the photo inside at the same time.
A young and pretty girl was standing on her toes as she placed a kiss on the boy’s cheek. The both of them were smiling very happily.
“Ah, my necklace isn’t spoiled, is it?” Kuang Meiyue took the necklace from An Feng, looking down as she looked nervous and concerned. “Actually, after so many things had happened, I realized that it’s the hardest to forget the relationship from when I was young. Back then, our relationship was really good. You may think that he’s really mature now, but he would do every childish action for me in the past.
“Like if I wanted to eat supper in the middle of the night, he would hurriedly change his clothes and go out to buy supper for me. At that time, his family was against our relationship, so he ran away from home and brought me to a quiet small town. We slept together every night. He was rather good back then already.”
As she spoke, she looked up slightly, as if recalling the sweetest memory she had, a happy smile on her lips. “We were both each other’s first. He was very shy at first, but he became more skillful and would always make it such that I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed the next day.”
