50

At the moment of lifting the gauze, Jane Mo’s heart is in her throat, while Ning Qingyuan himself is surprisingly calm. He is very contradictory, or he clearly understands that when he is blind, Jane Mo can only stay by his side. Once his eyesight is restored, what will she choose?

Ning Qingyuan silently sighed in the bottom of his heart, he did not ask her, and she did not say, in fact, he clearly understands that Mr. Jiang is willing to give him treatment, naturally Zhong Yu facilitated.

“How?” He listened to Jane Mo’s secretly anxious voice, his heart was slightly helpless.

The gauze was slowly removed from his eyes, he still had his eyes closed. Jane Mo watched his eyelashes flutter gently, and her heart trembled with it.

Old Mr. Jiang said faintly, “Slowly open your eyes, get used to it first.” He seemed to have full certainty that Ning Qingyuan could regain his sight.

Jian Mo looked at him with bated breath.

This moment of time seemed to be walking like an ant.

Ning Qingyuan opened the corners of his eyes little by little, light fell into his eyes one by one, when he opened his eyes completely, it was first cloudy, under the slow precipitation, the blurred outline in front of his eyes became clearer and clearer, and he looked at the face full of anxiety.

“Jian Mo-” he slightly hooked the corner of his mouth softly shouted his name, his eyes fixedly looking at her.

Jane Mo, on the other hand, waved a trembling hand in front of her eyes, “Can I see?”

The corner of Ning Qingyuan’s mouth lifted, holding her hand, “My eyes are better.”

Jian Mo bit the corner of her lip and exhaled deeply, “That’s good, that’s good.” She murmured, “Elder Jiang, thank you.”

Elder Jiang waved his hand, “Your eyes can’t be too tired for a while.” After saying that, he packed up his things and left the room.

Only two people were left in the room, and for a while the atmosphere was somewhat silent. How long had it been since they had met? Ning Qingyuan frowned. With just a small action, Jian Mo couldn’t help but tense up, “What’s wrong? Where are you uncomfortable?”

Ning Qingyuan looked at her slightly nervous eyes and said faintly, “No.” He averted his eyes and looked out the window, almost greedy, “I hadn’t noticed it before, so the original osmanthus tree is actually like this.” September osmanthus floats, he is used to smelling osmanthus, it is the first time that he has ever scrutinized an osmanthus tree.

Jian Mo turned her face with his gaze, “As the saying goes, life is not lacking in beauty, but in the eyes to discover it.”

Ning Qingyuan gave a slight beat, “Yes, our eyes are too easily blinded, sometimes we can’t even see our own hearts.” He turned his head to look at her for a split second, seeming to have something in his words.

Jian Mo faintly hooked the corner of her mouth and didn’t say anything.

Not long after, Jiang Xiaoqi knocked on the door and came in, “The medicine prescribed by my grandfather, internal use, the usage is all inside.”

“Thanks.” Jian Mo said.

Jiang Xiaoqi turned to leave, suddenly remembered something, “Right, turn around and trouble you to help me bring something to Zhong Yu, I have to go up to the mountain in the next two days, may not come down for a while.”

“Going up the mountain to collect medicine?” Jian Mo asked.

“It’s just one of them, I’m going to accompany my grandmother to eat fasting.” Jiang Xiaoqi looked at her eyes suddenly welled up with a few hints of disappointment. She thought that she and Zhong Yu were impossible in the end, the falling flowers were intentional, the flowing water was heartless.

“You – usually persuade him some, don’t be too hasty.” Her words were full of concern for Zhong Yu, not that Jian Mo didn’t understand, but she just nodded.

In fact, how could she persuade him?

-Fill in the blanks-

Jane Mo accompanied Ning Qingyuan on the way back, the two of them were silent all the way. Ning Qingyuan’s eyes were closed and his brows were deeply locked. Jane Mo, on the other hand, looked out the window with her face sideways.

When they returned home, Jane Mo made a call to Ning’s father and Jane Ru who were in the United States to tell them the good news.

Jane Ru answered the phone and when she knew the news, her heart finally relaxed, “We’ll go back in a few days.”

“Xiao Mo–” Jane Ru wanted to say something, “Mom originally didn’t want to ask you either, Qing Yuan’s eyes are better now, you and he– ”

Jian Mo secretly bit her lip, “Mom, it’s impossible for me and him.” She looked at the distant sky, she might not be able to develop emotions beyond kinship towards Ning Qingyuan in this generation.

Jane Ru was on the other end, her face a bit sunken, “Is it because of Lemon’s father?”

Jane Mo was silent, Jane Ru realized, but helplessly hooked the corner of her mouth, “You think about your own things. Mom has seen everything at this age.” She also only knew about Zhong Yu’s car accident after they returned to China, and she could only sigh one sentence to make things worse. She only wished that the few of them would be safe and sound.

After hanging up the phone, Jian Mo stood there in a daze.

When the cell phone rang again, she shuddered slightly, picked it up and looked at it, her brows could not help but frown, “Hello–”

Zhong Yu’s voice came coldly, “Come with me to pick up Lemon in the afternoon.”

“Got it.” Jian Mo also returned coldly. There was a slight silence on both sides, Jane Mo pursed the corners of her lips, “Is there anything else? Nothing I’m hanging up.”

Turned around and went downstairs, Ning Qingyuan was in the living room, facing the window, his back was lonely, Jane Mo stood in the stairway heart suddenly surged with a burst of sourness. Ning Qingyuan heard footsteps, slowly turned around, his expression turned back to the original cloudy, “Going out?”

Jian Mo nodded, “I promised Lemon in the morning that I would pick her up after school in the afternoon.”

Ning Qingyuan’s eyes fluctuated slightly, “You go, that girl if she waits anxiously back to read for a long time.”

The moment they brushed past each other, “XiaoMo–” his voice came from behind, “My eyes are better, I plan to go back to the US in a few days.” What this departure meant they knew each other well.

Jane Mo’s footsteps lurched, she blinked, her throat felt like it was blocked by something, “My mom and uncle plan to come back in a few days.”

“I’ll explain to them.”

Jian Mo no longer had the courage to hold him back, her eyes were slightly hot, her hand clenched tightly, “Qing Yuan-”

“Alright, you have your own choice, go pick up Lemon now.”

She took the bus to the University C Annex Primary School, the station was one stop away from the school, after getting off the bus, she walked slowly. Zhong Yu had been rehabbing in the morning, his leg could now simply walk, like a child toddling around, the doctor suggested that he could now use crutches to assist him, but he refused.

Zhong Yu sat in the backseat, and from afar, she saw the figure in front of her walking step by step towards the school gate. She slightly lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression. Zhong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, just an hour before, he had received news that Ning Qingyuan’s eyes had regained their sight. This was indeed a good thing, it just had nothing to do with him.

“Honk the horn.” He said indifferently.

The driver immediately honked the horn. Jane Mo heard the continuous honking and looked up suddenly, she saw his car, she just hesitated for a moment and finally walked over.

There are still ten minutes from the end of school, she got into the car, and Zhong Yu sat side by side in the back seat, she gently skimmed her face, her eyes swept to his right arm on a purple, slightly surprised, just remained silent.

Zhong Yu one hand on his thighs, have a look, seems to be brewing something, roughly over a minute, “Ning Qingyuan’s eyes regained their sight.” He calmly stated.

Jian Mo responded, “Yes.”

Zhong Yu turned his head sideways, his gaze falling on the side of her face, “Starting today go to my place.”

Jian Mo clenched her hand in death, she knew she had no choice now.

Ning Qingyuan looked at the time in the car, “Go pick up Lemon, I won’t go down.”

The family ate out at night, and Lemon suddenly wanted to eat steak. Zhong Yu now spoiled her to the point of not wanting to talk, immediately let the driver drive to the city’s famous western restaurant.

When you really eat, lemon just ate a few mouthfuls of spaghetti and refused to eat any more. Jane Mo fed her vegetables, she refused to eat, and finally Jane Mo’s temper was worn out, and she put on her face, “Ning Shanyu, if you don’t eat your vegetables today, we won’t go home today.” She said sternly.

Lemon was stunned for a moment, this ton of time, Jane Mo was busy taking care of Ning Qingyuan and Lemon got along for a short time, the Zhong family was afraid of melting in their mouths for this granddaughter, and afraid of dropping in their hands, which would have such a stern voice.

“Mom – you’re mean to me -” she said in a soft voice.

“Open your mouth and eat it.” Jane Mo hardened her heart.

“My name is Zhong Shanyu, I’m not Ning Shanyu, and I don’t want to eat vegetables.” Lemon tried to squeeze tears out of her eyes, but realized that Jian Mo didn’t budge in the slightest, and her eyes looked at her coldly. She did really feel aggrieved, “Mommy bad – Mommy bad -”

Jane Mo had a breath blocked in her heart, her face stiffened.

Zhong Yu frowned, “If you don’t eat it, don’t eat it, why are you being so mean to her. Lemon come to daddy-”

Lemon huffed and sat beside Zhong Yu, her head arched into Zhong Yu’s arms, “Daddy, I don’t want to eat the dishes-”

“Good, don’t eat.” Zhong Yu gently wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes, “Dad does not eat vegetables as long as so high.”

Jane Mo secretly sucked in a breath, “Zhong Yu have you teach your children like this? Lemon, mom say again, come over and eat the vegetables?”

Lemon cried out with a “wow” sound.

Zhong Yu looked up at her, “Why do you have to turn your anger towards me onto her. I missed five years of her growth, it’s only right to spoil her so much.”

“You’re not loving her but harming her by spoiling her like this!”

“That’s how my daughter should be raised.” Zhong Yu was unimpressed. “Good girl, don’t cry, how about daddy find a new mom for Lemon?”

Lemon immediately stopped breathing, she looked at her parents, her big wet eyes rolling around.

Jane Mo’s brain suddenly went blank, what was he talking about? Looking at his calm demeanor, Jane Mo only felt a chill.

Lemon is also afraid that his mom is really angry, “I’m dad’s lover from a previous life, mom you’re jealous that dad is good to me, you’re jealous.”

Jane Mo’s face a burst of white and red, she fiercely stood up, every word was said heavily, “You’re just spoiled.” Finished carrying the bag huffed and puffed away.

Leaving a face of innocent father and daughter.

Zhong Yu toward his daughter curved the corner of his mouth, his eyes skimmed to Jane Mo’s distant figure, he said to his daughter, “Let’s eat a little bit more, or else go back hungry at night.” Zhong Yu clamped a chopstick of vegetables and swallowed it in one bite, Lemon followed his action and also clamped a bite of vegetables.

Both of their expressions showed some bitterness, “Dad, how could there be such a bad vegetable.”

Zhong Yu shook his head, “That was a test for us.”

Zhong Yu’s legs had to be massaged every night, there were professional nurses when he stayed in the hospital, and then it was Jiang Xiaoqi who massaged them for him. Jiang Xiaoqi will go up to the mountains tomorrow and has already instructed Jian Mo to remember.

Because of that little episode at dinner, Jane Mo came back alone. The father and daughter came home more than half an hour after she returned.

After she waited for Lemon to fall asleep, she sighed and softly knocked on Zhong Yu’s room door. “Come in-”

Jane Mo walked in, and Zhong Yu’s eyes flashed with some surprise. “Xiaoqi said that your legs need to be massaged every day-”

The corner of Zhong Yu’s mouth snorted slightly, “So you’re listening to her words and will still come?”

Jian Mo was silent.

“You can go out, I already massaged it today at the hospital.” He said coldly. Jian Mo stiffened and turned around. Zhong Yu stared at her back for an instant, suddenly his voice pierced with coldness, “I forgot to tell you, after Qiqi finishes her fast from the mountain, we’ll be engaged.”

Jian Mo’s eyes widened suddenly, so what he said before about the “new mom” was true. She seems to have been numb, he owed her, and she owed him a favor, round and round, on the surface of everything has been paid off, but her heart is so cold that she has no feeling.

She looked ahead, a blur before her eyes, “Let me go.” Her voice was permeated with infinite sadness, she only now thoroughly understood that Zhong Yu was taking revenge on her.

But what had she done wrong? She didn’t know that he had a car accident, she didn’t know anything. It was just that after knowing, it was hard for her too, but she had to desperately suppress her share of hard feelings.

“Go?” Zhong Yu’s voice was low and mumbled as he repeated, “Have you forgotten what you promised me before? How come when Ning Qingyuan’s eyes got better, you act like you’re crossing the bridge?”

“You can leave if you want to, and don’t see lemon again in this generation. I’ll do as I say.” He said word for word without any temperature.

“Zhong Yu, are you crazy?” Jian Mo turned around, the red blood filaments were vaguely visible under his eyes, “Do you know what you’re doing? Have you thought about how you will explain our relationship to Lemon when she grows up?”

“What relationship? You tell me?” He asked rhetorically. Jane Mo only felt physically and mentally exhausted. She exhaled, “Take an early rest.” She didn’t want to continue this topic, it would only add to her worries.

As she walked to the door of her room she lightly said, “By the way, I forgot to congratulate you. Jiang Xiaoqi is a good girl.”
