Chapter 10, The 10th Beam of Light: She tackled the man!
Because of the distance between them and his last sentence, Song Xingyun blushed instantly. She stammered, "I...no."
"Is that so?" The man pressed on, seemingly sensing her slightly more rapid breathing than usual. Yu Mushang tried to suppress the smirk that was about to appear on his lips. "But Assistant Song saw it clearly that day."
After he finished speaking, he pulled the gauze curtain over and stood up straight.
Song Xingyun then felt that she could breathe again. She quietly patted her chest, her mind still a bit foggy. "What can I see clearly?"
Yu Mushang was generous with his advice, saying, "My physique."
Song Xingyun: ......
You shut up! I told you to answer!
She coughed lightly twice and boldly followed his words, saying, "I have a photographic memory for beautiful things." After saying that, she turned and ran away. When Ying Qi came in, he saw her carrying the book and scurrying out like a gust of wind.
Yu Mushang had already sat down, his smile no longer concealed. Ying Qi felt like she was being slaughtered. "Boss, don't create dog food during work hours."
Yu Mushang lowered his head and flipped through the book, "I'm afraid you'll be hungry, so I'll produce more."
Ying Qi: ...Who will take care of him!
Song Xingyun spent the afternoon writing and drawing. Although she hadn't finished memorizing the pinyin, she had already familiarized herself with her own name.
Song Xingyun
"How amazing Braille is." She couldn't help but wonder if Yu Mushang had ever written her a letter in Braille over the years, a letter she had never received, but then she realized she was just overthinking it.
Looking at the Braille book on the table, she decided to reward herself by memorizing ten sounds and then learn a name. "How about I learn next?"
After muttering this to herself, she looked around, as if afraid someone might suddenly appear behind her. This sneaky feeling was really getting on her nerves. Song Xingyun pouted, "What's there to be afraid of? It's not like I'm using his face to draw some weird things..."
Upon hearing this idea, Song Xingyun repeatedly smacked her head, exclaiming, "What are you thinking about?!"
Something was really wrong with her. She used to be a very principled person! After thinking for a while, she could only attribute her "change" to being too familiar with Yu Mushang. After all, apart from never having met him, she still considered him a friend she had known for seven years.
She was the friend he had the longest "time" with in his life, even if it was only one-sided.
On the other hand, Changming is also taking good care of herself, and everything is going smoothly.
After Song Xingyun took a moment to reply to Wen Ying's message, Wen Ying replied instantly, praising her for the first time, "You really found a dream job this time!"
But her next sentence turned inappropriate: "I hope you work until retirement, or you can sign a contract of servitude with your boss, or even a marriage agreement."
Song Xingyun knew she was teasing her again, and advised her to delete it.
Wen Ying sent back several laughing emojis in a row.
She turned her head and looked out the window, and saw Bai Sui holding Yu Mushang's hand as they strolled in the garden. Looking at the comics that her subordinates were struggling with due to a lack of inspiration, Song Xingyun got up and went out.
Yu Mushang was becoming more and more familiar with her footsteps. "Is there anything you want to ask?"
Song Xingyun felt completely exposed in front of him, and she didn't hold back, saying, "I also want to be guided by the centenarian, to experience it firsthand, and see if I can generate some inspiration."
Yu Mushang understood what she meant, and was somewhat surprised, but did not refuse, "Blindfold yourself."
Seeing that he agreed, Song Xingyun immediately took out the blindfold she had prepared beforehand and came to his side, saying, "I'm ready."
Her hands flailing wildly in front of her eyes, trying to grab the rope from Yu Mushang's hand, but she ended up grabbing his arm first. "Sorry, I'm blindfolded, I can't see."
Yu Mushang: ......
The next second, he felt her hand slide down his arm, brush past his wrist, leaving a tingling sensation, and finally land on his empty palm, scratching it a few times as if searching for something...
Song Xingyun asked in confusion, "Where's the rope?"
Yu Mushang couldn't resist grabbing her "mischievous" hand, his palms itching. "Assistant Song still says she didn't flirt with me?"
Song Xingyun belatedly realized what she had done, shaking her hand that he was holding, "I...I really didn't expect it, it's just that I can't see it."
Yu Mushang seemed to laugh in anger, "Just because you can't see it doesn't mean you can take advantage of your boss?"
Song Xingyun felt like crying but had no way to argue. She wasn't like this before. "Then should I apologize to you?"
Yu Mushang noticed the tremor in her voice and began to worry that he might frighten her. After a silent sigh, he said, "The rope is in my other hand."
Song Xingyun dared not make any more rash moves and tentatively asked, "Will you hand it to me?"
This is to prevent her, this unseen "newbie," from accidentally touching something inappropriate.
But Yu Mushang didn't play by the rules. He snorted and said, "Find your own way and prove that you really didn't mean to flirt with the boss."
Song Xingyun: ......
Was this person doing it on purpose?
She had a sudden inspiration and planned to secretly lift the blindfold a little, but the moment her hand touched the edge of the blindfold, the man anticipated her move, saying, "Don't cheat."
Song Xingyun: ......
People can actually laugh when they're speechless. She imagined the position of his other hand in her mind, took a deep breath, and then, without thinking twice, reached out her hand.
Yu Mushang was truly blind, so naturally he had no idea where she would start.
The next second, she felt a hand climb onto her shoulder, and then she heard her mutter to herself, "Shoulder, that's it."
This time, Song Xingyun didn't dare to touch downwards; she poked instead.
Starting from the shoulder, I used my fingers to trace the "path" along his arm until I found his palm, minimizing the contact area.
Yu Mushang almost couldn't help but laugh until she snatched the leash from his hand. "It's done."
Song Xingyun was inwardly praising herself as a genius.
She ignored Yu Mushang and tugged at the rope. "Bai Sui, is that you?"
The 100-year-old squatted in place and watched them interact for a long time, probably finding it novel, and didn't say a word.
Only when Song Xingyun called its name did it respond. Song Xingyun smiled at it with satisfaction, "Can you take me to the little swing in the garden? Don't let me fall."
Bai Sui was very clever. She responded twice and then started pulling Song Xingyun away.
Yu Mushang's expression was complicated when he heard that his beloved dog was being used by Song Xingyun. "Why did the dog turn to the outside world so quickly?" He turned around, picked up the white cane from the small table behind him, and followed the sound.
From the very beginning, Song Xingyun felt extremely insecure, but she strongly resisted the urge to remove her blindfold.
"Has he lived like this for so many years?" All around was darkness and emptiness, with only the sound of wind and birdsong offering some comfort.
Seeing Song Xingyun being led by Bai Sui, Changming, who was carrying a stone nearby, ran over and rubbed against her leg.
Song Xingyun spoke softly to it, "Wait a moment, or I'll fall on you." The long-lived creature patiently endured until it reached the small swing, and only then did Song Xingyun feel relieved.
She was afraid that if she let go of the rope, Bai Sui would run away, so she kept holding on to it.
He touched the small swing with one hand, then sat down and swung it around a bit. "Even this short distance feels like torture..."
She stopped and touched Bai Sui's head, praising him sincerely, "You did a great job." It's good that you're by his side. Although Yu Mushang has a cane, Song Xingyun feels that Bai Sui's significance is different.
She decided to include a comic strip about guide dogs to raise awareness of guide dogs among a wider audience.
Changming leaned its head closer, indicating that it wanted to be petted too. Song Xingyun laughed and petted it, saying, "What, do you want to learn the skills of a hundred-year-old?" Ever since Changming came to her side, it had been carefree and lived a happy dog life.
Changming seemed genuinely interested and proactively handed its rope to Song Xingyun. Song Xingyun was somewhat surprised, but considering that they were born from the same mother and that Baisui had been taking care of her, she figured Changming wouldn't lead her astray. Plus, the previous trip had given her some confidence, so she agreed without much thought, "Okay, I'll show you."
She had barely gotten off the swing when Changming couldn't wait to set off. Song Xingyun was being pulled along, yes, running, "Changming!"
Even at a hundred years old, her longevity had disrupted her steps. The journey was smooth, but Song Xingyun quickly calmed down and chose to take off her blindfold. "Ah!"
A scream made Yu Mushang, who had just arrived, frown and quicken his pace. "What happened?"
However, Changming took off running and was about to collide with him when Yingqi came out and witnessed this thrilling scene. He shouted, "Get out of the way!"
In a moment of panic, Song Xingyun took off her lace headband and threw it to the side, then released the two Labrador Retrievers that had changed direction.
She had just relaxed and hadn't noticed the stones hidden in the grass. She tripped over them slightly, but not enough to fall over; she just stumbled a few steps.
But the man appeared in front of her without her noticing. Just as Song Xingyun was about to feel relieved, her heart suddenly panicked. This time, she tripped over her own feet, "Bang!"
She tackled the man to the ground!
Ying Qi, who was rushing this way, suddenly stopped and covered her eyes.
"Hmm..."
The man beneath her let out a muffled groan.
Song Xingyun's lips touched warm skin, and...
Her heart pounded as she opened her eyes, only to find herself kissing the man's Adam's apple... "I'm sorry, I..."
Song Xingyun was so flustered that she forgot to get up first. As she spoke, her lips lightly teased his Adam's apple until Yu Mushang's chest heaved. He then pushed her away slightly and covered her mouth. "Song! Xing! Yun!"
Song Xingyun, her mouth covered, tried to explain, but the attack on her lips shifted to her palm. Yu Mushang's face flushed red. "Aren't you getting up?"
Song Xingyun then remembered to pull her hand away from his chest, abruptly stood up, and felt dizzy and everything went black before her eyes. "I'm dizzy!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mushang reflexively opened his arms, and sure enough, the person fell into his embrace the next second.
