When Fang Yusheng came downstairs, Aunt Jin was shocked to see his reddened left cheek.
“Young Master Yusheng, what happened to your face?”
Hearing this question, Qi Bufan and Qiao Jiusheng looked up at his face. Previously, they had not noticed it in the room. Now, Qiao Jiusheng noticed that Fang Yusheng’s face was red and swollen since he had knocked into the screen.
She could not bear to see any handsome people get hurt.
She suddenly felt guilty.
Fang Yusheng replied, “I accidentally bumped into something.”
Aunt Jin treated any small problem with Fang Yusheng’s like a big matter. She immediately ran into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and filled a bag with ice cubes. Then, she said to Fang Yusheng, “Young Master Yusheng, sit down quickly. I’ll ice it for you.”
Fang Yusheng had no objections. After he sat down, Auntie Jin was about to put the ice bag on him when Qiao Jiusheng suddenly stood up. “Auntie Jin, I’ll do it.”
“Yes, yes.” Aunt Jin was happy to see that happen.
She quickly handed the ice bag to Qiao Jiusheng.
Qiao Jiusheng took the ice bag and sat down beside Fang Yusheng. Fang Yusheng looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in a mess.
“Turn your face around.” As Qiao Jiusheng spoke, her breath hit Fang Yusheng’s face.
Since he could not see, Fang Yusheng was especially sensitive to any movement. He was so close to Qiao Jiusheng that if he curled his finger, he would be able to embrace her. However, he froze and did not dare to move, allowing Qiao Jiusheng to make a cold compress for him.
“Tsk, it’s a pity to destroy such a good-looking face.” Qiao Jiusheng gently placed an ice cube on Fang Yusheng’s face. Seeing that he did not move, she asked, “Does it hurt a lot?”
“Yeah.” Actually, it’s fine.
Fang Yusheng felt that he must have been possessed. He had actually learned the childlike trick of acting coquettishly.
When Qiao Jiusheng heard that aggrieved answer, her actions became even gentler.
Suddenly, she sighed. “Hahh! If only your eyes could work.”
“What do you mean?” Fang Yusheng curiously asked.
Qiao Jiusheng stared at his face with a rare look of sincere regret on her face. She said, “To be honest, you’re really the best-looking person I’ve seen. If you could see your appearance, you’d definitely be very proud.” Fang Yusheng was prideful enough even when he could not see. If he could, he would definitely be prouder.
Fang Yusheng remained silent.
Qiao Jiusheng thought that he was sad. She felt that she should not mention this topic and fell silent.
Fang Yusheng’s swollen wound turned cold, and he suddenly said, “If only I could see, that would be good.”
If only he could see her face with his own eyes.
As Qiao Jiusheng heard his words, the regret in her eyes deepened.
When Aunt Jin, who was sitting on a stool and peeling peas, heard Fang Yusheng’s words, she suddenly looked up. Her eyes revealed shock. In all these years, this was the first time she had heard Young Master Yusheng say such things.
If I could see…
In the past, Fang Yusheng would never say such things. He lived a carefree life, became a vegetarian, and chanted Buddhist scriptures all day long. He seemed indifferent.
All these years, Aunt Jin had been thinking of ways to make dishes that were good for Fang Yusheng’s eyes every day. She hoped that Young Master Yusheng would not give up on any chance to treat his eyes. However, Young Master Yusheng’s reaction was always cold. Aunt Jin subconsciously cast her gaze on Qiao Jiusheng.
The power of love is really awesome.
After Qiao Jiusheng made an ice pack for him, Fang Yusheng went up to the third floor alone. He entered his collection room.
Qiao Jiusheng did not disturb him. She had her own things to do.
***
In the collection room, Fang Yusheng sat on a wooden chair with dozens of expensive canes behind him.
He held the decade-old phone in his hand and frowned, deep in thought.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally took out his phone and made a call.
***
Ring—ring!
Ring—ring!
The phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
Zhuang Long glanced at the phone and saw that the call was from an unfamiliar number. He raised his head and shouted at the person in front of him, “Yinbing, your phone is ringing.”
Ji Yinbing looked up and took off her sterile gloves. She walked over to the phone and picked it up to take a look.
“A Chinese number…”
She frowned, took off her glasses, and answered the call.
“Who is it?” she asked in a calm voice.
“Yinbing.” She heard her name come from a man who was both familiar and unfamiliar to her. Ji Yinbing’s calm eyes suddenly rippled with excitement.
“An?” She was surprised.
Upon hearing this name, Zhuang Long looked over in surprise.
“Yes, it’s me.” Fang Yusheng had not contacted Ji Yinbing for many years. He did not know what to say.
On the other end, Ji Yinbing quickly calmed down and spoke first. “I’m very happy that you took the initiative to contact me. I think Zhuang Long and Ah Nuo are very happy.”
“Yinbing…” Fang Yusheng suddenly felt guilty.
All these years, he had never dared to face the fact that he was blind.
He was suddenly ashamed of his cowardice.
“An, why did you suddenly contact me?”
Fang Yusheng remained silent for a moment, then asked, “How confident are you in treating my eyes?”
After a moment of silence, Ji Yinbing said, “Forty percent.”
At this moment, Zhuang Long walked over to the phone and interrupted the conversation. “Oh, you’re finally willing to come out of your shell?”
Fang Yusheng was used to Zhuang Long’s sarcasm, so he did not get angry.
Ji Yinbing gave Zhuang Long a cold look and asked Fang Yusheng, “Can you tell me why you took the initiative to undergo surgery?”
Fang Yusheng said, “I want to see her.”
He had a wish. He wanted to see her and see how his sweetheart looked.
