Chapter 407: Chapter 407: He is Everywhere
 

In my memory, Shen Yishu had long stopped being that bristly young man, so why is he still so explosive over there?

“Er, come back later!”

I had the employees in the office leave first.

Listening carefully, I could hear Shen Yishu arguing with Jian Jing, his emotions intensely agitated.

“Shen Yishu!”

I called out softly.

The arguing outside then stopped.

Footsteps approached from a distance, and I stood up, leaning on the desk.

Shen Yishu’s hand reached out to me; he grasped my arm, wanting to help me sit down.

“Xiaoyun, sit down!”

“I’m fine, don’t treat me like a blind person. My eyes are just medicated; I’ll be able to remove the bandages in a couple of days…”

I was halfway through speaking when Shen Yishu’s hand reached my face, gently exploring, his movements featherlight.

“Does it hurt?”

A simple question, yet filled with profound concern.

“No, it doesn’t!”

“Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, you often tell me to take good care of myself, but you, you can’t even take care of yourself.”

“Shen Yishu, it was an accident!”

“Why was there an accident, haven’t you thought about that?”

“Let’s not talk about this, Shen Yishu… If you came to talk about work, we could sit down and have a cup of coffee, talk slowly. If not, then… you should go back first.”

I could tell that Shen Yishu was very agitated.

I had to try my best to downplay my own confusion.

“I won’t go back! You need someone to take care of you!”

“Jian Jing is here… and besides, don’t be like this, the more you do this, the more I feel like I’m useless. If there comes a time when I need someone to take care of me, then my life has no meaning anymore.”

After I spoke these words, Shen Yishu started to calm down.

“Ayun, I understand! I won’t make things difficult for you anymore! It’s my fault, I just feel sorry for you!”

“Mhm!”

After this conversation, Shen Yishu became much calmer.

He took an apple, peeled it, and handed it to me.

“If there’s anything you need, anything at all, just tell me.”

I took a bite of the apple, the crisp sweetness instantly filling my mouth,

“Thank you!”

Shen Yishu sat beside me,

“Tell me if there’s any other fruit you want to eat, and I’ll buy it for you!”

“What fruits are in season this time of year?”

“Summer… the supermarket has everything: pineapples, mangoes, longans, watermelons, honeydews…”

I laughed and shook my head,

“I don’t like those! Apples are fine!”

Shen Yishu was quite patient.

He stayed with me in the afternoon until I finished work, taking care of any issues I encountered, such as disputes in contracts, helping me review them, and then discussing them with me to reach a decision.

After work, since my newly purchased house was close to the company, Jian Jing then took me to the new house.

Although the house’s decorations were tidy, there were still some small items missing, such as tablecloths, dishwashing liquid, and mops.

Unable to see, Jian Jing had to go buy these miscellaneous items alone.

Being blind, I couldn’t use my phone or watch TV.

I was bored to death.

Suddenly I heard the doorbell ring.

I thought it was Jian Jing coming back, so I groped my way to the door,

“How come you’re back so soon, did you forget your phone?”

After I finished speaking, there was no response from outside.

“Jian Jing, Jian Jing?”

I called out a few times, but no one answered.

How strange!

Could it be some kids nearby playing a prank?

Seeing that no one responded, I closed the door again.

Afterward, I went to take a shower. I had walked around here before and more or less knew where the shower room was.

I took a bath towel to the bathroom, and to prevent getting the bandage over my eyes wet, I specifically wore a waterproof shower cap.

While showering, my mind was in turmoil.

God wouldn’t be that perverse, giving me the most difficult challenge, right?

Just when I’d almost found my biological father, He let me go blind?

No, that couldn’t be possible.

After showering, I groped my way out of the bathroom, leaning against the wall.

The floor was wet and slippery, and I had to move very slowly, but I still couldn’t move as comfortably as when my eyes were fine.

Without eyes to check my surroundings, it was easy to make mistakes.

I hadn’t walked far when I tripped over a chair and fell, struggling to get up for a while.

I must have hit my knee, it hurt so much that I grimaced in pain.

After a long while, as I slowly got up from the ground, I suddenly found a rope by my hand.

The rope seemed to run along the wall, and following it out, I discovered that not only could this rope lead to the bedroom, but it could also extend to the balcony, living room, and kitchen.

There was a knot in the rope at regular intervals to help calculate distances.

With this rope to guide me, I wouldn’t be so disoriented anymore.

It was a lot more convenient.

Yikes, who tied this rope? I don’t remember seeing it the last time I was here. Could Jian Jing have done it?

I returned to the bedroom and fumbled to pick up my pajamas from the bed to change into.

As I sat down, I could still feel the pain in my knee.

I reached to touch it and felt like it was bleeding.

I remembered that there should be band-aids at home, but I couldn’t remember exactly where the first-aid kit was kept.

I felt around on the desk and found a square box that seemed to match the shape of the first-aid kit.

After opening the box, I found Yunnan Baiyao powder and band-aids.

With these two items, I could manage the situation myself.

After drying the wound, I applied the medicinal powder and then stuck a band-aid over it.

After I had dressed the wound, my phone started ringing.

The ringtone sounded right beside me, and I picked up the phone and swiped down to answer the call.

“Ayun, Jian Jing told me you had eye trouble. How are you now?”

“It’s fine, the doctor has already cleaned the wound simply, and now I’m just wrapped in a bandage. I’ll go to the hospital to have it removed in two or three days.”

“Jian Jing mentioned something about a corneal problem!”

“Yeah, there was a bit of an issue!”

My reaction was calm. I hadn’t informed anyone about my eye injury; I didn’t want to worry my friends. I just wanted to deal with it slowly by myself.

“What do you mean a bit of an issue? Jian Jing said that if you don’t get a retinal transplant, you might go blind!”

“She exaggerated a bit. The doctor said that if I can find a good ophthalmologist willing to operate on me, there’s still a high chance of recovery.”

“A good doctor, you mean Ding Yinuo, right? Is he not willing to step in?”

Wenya’s voice was loud, almost roaring through the phone.

“Forget it, I don’t have any relationship with him!”

“What do you mean no relationship? You are still his ex-wife!”

“What ex-wife… That was just for convenience to help him with his treatment. We never consummated the marriage! It doesn’t count…”

Just as I was saying this, I suddenly heard a strange sound beside me, startling me into standing up immediately.
