Chapter 7, The Seventh Beam of Light: "Assistant Song is trying to take advantage of me again?"...
This... is a bit too close.
How many times has this happened today? Song Xingyun had never known she had a problem with being infatuated with men before.
But the subtle intertwining of their breaths seemed to make his heart itch.
"What? Assistant Song is trying to take advantage of me again?"
Yu Mushang's sudden words shattered Song Xingyun's strange thoughts. How did he find out!
The man felt the sweet scent recede into the distance, and the person next to him probably stood up straight. Song Xingyun placed the Braille pen next to his hand and touched it. "How could you think of me like that, boss? I just... my legs went numb, so I took a break."
After saying that, the woman secretly bit her lip. Song Xingyun, you're getting better and better at talking nonsense!
Yu Mushang lowered his head and touched the pen in his hand, still feeling her lingering warmth, knowing that she hadn't left yet, but his words came out somewhat coldly, "Aren't you going to study?"
Upon receiving the order, Song Xingyun took off running, fearing that his next words would be that he was standing there like a block of wood. Although she knew he couldn't see, she always felt that he could accurately say such a word.
The surroundings became quiet, but Yu Mushang's mind found it difficult to calm down.
Song Xingyun hadn't even warmed her seat in the chair outside when her phone vibrated. It was a message from Ying Qi: "I've saved your phone number for the boss. Remember to answer any calls from unknown numbers."
Song Xingyun's hand holding the phone trembled slightly. "He'll call me?"
Thinking back to their old correspondence, she felt like she had entered a new era, which naturally made her happy, as it was convenient. However, she was also curious about who had written the letters for him before. Was it his...girlfriend?
Song Xingyun, stop being so gossipy!
She let out a sigh of relief. "You're here to work!"
The next second, the phone rang. When she pressed the answer button for the unfamiliar number, she felt inexplicably nervous. Before she could even say "hello," the familiar male voice on the other end had already given her a "task": "Bring me a glass of water."
Song Xingyun naturally went there eagerly.
"Boss, your water." The warm cup gently touched the side of his fingers, reminding him of its location.
Yu Mushang took a small sip of his drink and was about to ask her if she had any new questions about her studies when Song Xingyun took the initiative to leave, saying, "Boss, if you don't have anything else, I'll head out first."
After saying that, she ran faster than a rabbit. Yu Mushang's hand holding the cup froze in mid-air until the footsteps were no longer audible. The corners of his lips turned down. "Is she afraid of me?"
Just then, Ying Qi came in with company documents. Before he could finish saying "boss," Yu Mushang asked him a question: "Am I that scary?" He touched the contours of his face with his long, slender fingers.
Ying Qi was completely bewildered by his sudden question. "It's not scary. Who said you're scary-looking? You're just scary-handsome at most."
The thought that Yu Mushang would never see what he looked like now made Ying Qi suddenly feel sad. "Boss, you will see it someday."
Yu Mushang sensed his slight displeasure and turned his face away in disgust. "I'm blind, not dead. What are you crying about?"
Ying Qi immediately held back the tears welling up in his eyes, "I'm a grown man, I didn't cry!"
The next second, I was met with laughter from my boss.
Yingqi: ...
Ying Qi has been by Yu Mushang's side since he lost his sight. He was an orphan whom Yu Mushang had sponsored since he was a child. Without Yu Mushang, he wouldn't be where he is today.
"Why is there no sound outside?" Yu Mushang suddenly asked.
Ying Qi wasn't stupid. "You want to ask what Song Xingyun was doing? She was engrossed in reading when I came in and didn't even notice me."
Yu Mushang was unusually embarrassed by being seen through. He straightened his expression and said, "It's none of your business to talk back."
Just as Ying Qi was about to retort, her phone rang. "It's the pet hospital."
Yu Mushang looked up in his direction after hearing this, and then Ying Qi answered the phone, "Dean Li, I went in and checked on it this morning, and it's in pretty good condition."
"Really? I'll be right there."
Ying Qi hung up the phone after saying just two short sentences, and said to Yu Mushang with delight, "Bai Sui can be discharged from the hospital now, I'll go pick it up right now."
Yu Mushang's expression relaxed. "Go."
Bai Sui is a Labrador Retriever. His mother passed away in the accident, and he was left behind shortly after birth. He later became Yu Mushang's guide dog. He is seven years old and was recently hospitalized for food poisoning due to overeating.
As Ying Qi walked away, Yu Mushang suddenly remembered another puppy he had given away years ago...
*
In the veterinary hospital's inpatient ward, two Labrador Retrievers were barking wildly at each other. Ying Qi almost couldn't hold them back. "Bai Sui! Today is a good day, let's stop making a scene."
The woman opposite her was also comforting the dog in her arms, "Changming, why are you yelling? It's just that you met someone who looks just like you, that's normal! Be good, if you make too much noise, you won't be able to give Mommy a surprise."
The dog in her arms actually quieted down obediently.
Ying Qi looked at the dog in her arms that was still trying to pounce on her, "We didn't pick up the wrong dog, did we? Ours was just as well-behaved before we were a hundred years old."
Wen Ying took off her sunglasses. "Our parents are very well-behaved, okay!"
She strongly suspected that the well-dressed man in front of her wanted to steal the dog.
Long life? A hundred years old?
The two were focused on one spot when the head nurse ran out. "They've been roommates for quite a while now, so they probably can't bear to part with each other, right? May they live to be a hundred?"
Wen Ying glanced suspiciously at the person and dog opposite her, then pulled Changming along, saying, "Let's go, little one."
As Ying Qi brushed past her, he noticed the wariness emanating from her. "Hiss, what does this person take me for?"
Wen Ying didn't even turn her head when she heard this, and said indifferently to the Labrador in her hand, "You need to be careful of dog traffickers when you're out and about, you know?"
Dog traffickers?
Yingqi: ...
"What about me makes me look like a dog dealer?"
Unfortunately, Wen Ying has already gone far away.
Ying Qi looked down and saw that Bai Sui was still looking in the direction the person had left. She tugged at the rope in her hand and said, "Stop looking. They're far away now. You're not going to start talking to it here, are you?"
The head nurse's hand trembled slightly as she handed over the discharge summary. "They're the same gender."
Ying Qi didn't take it to heart, saying, "Humans are fine, dogs are fine too, don't discriminate."
After a moment of silence, the head nurse thought to herself, "You're really open-minded!"
At this moment, Wen Ying put Changming in the back seat, fastened her seatbelt, and closed the car door before calling Song Xingyun, "What time do you get off work tonight?"
Song Xingyun glanced at the time. "I'm not sure, but I'm feeling uneasy right now."
Wen Ying asked her curiously, "What's wrong?"
Song Xingyun slumped back in her chair. "The hospital hasn't called me yet. I wonder if something's happened to Changming? I have to call and ask."
Since Song Huazhang passed away, this Labrador Retriever has been Song Xingyun's only companion. She would never die for it, and she would work hard to buy it canned food.
Afraid that her surprise would be exposed, Wen Ying quickly pressed her hand over the phone, saying, "I'm at the hospital, Changming is doing well! Come on, Changming, let out a wail for your mom."
Wen Ying turned on the speaker early, and Changming got excited again when he heard Song Xingyun's voice, howling several times in a row.
Hearing that she was in good spirits, Song Xingyun was relieved. "Long live, don't get excited. Thank you for your hard work, Wenwen. It's good that you went to see him for me."
She's been so busy lately with the plagiarism scandal and collecting evidence that her daytime hours are almost completely taken up, and she can only sneak off to the hospital at night each time.
As for why she went secretly, it was because Changming would get overly excited when it saw her, which the doctor said was not good for its recovery. She was kicked out by the doctor several times, so she asked Wenying to go and check on it for her whenever she had free time. Changming was calmer when it saw Wenying.
"Sweetie, Mommy will definitely come to see you tonight!"
Changming seemed to understand and obediently responded.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Ying patted its head and said, "You did a really good job. Your mom will be very happy to see you tonight."
Song Xingyun hung up the phone, put away the Braille book she had been reading all afternoon, took out her tablet and started drawing, quickly becoming engrossed in it.
Just then, a very loud "woof" came from the villa's entrance. She looked up and saw a Labrador Retriever running towards her. Song Xingyun was dumbfounded. "Long life?"
Ying Qi chased after him, shouting, "Bai Sui! Stop!"
When Song Xingyun heard its name, she was stunned for a moment. At that moment, the Labrador Retriever named "Bai Sui" jumped into Song Xingyun's arms.
When Ying Qi stopped panting in front of them, Bai Sui was sticking out its tongue to lick her. He reached out and covered its mouth, saying, "Be a little more reserved!"
Song Xingyun watched with great interest as the man and dog got tangled up before she came to her senses and tried to break up the fight, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, you didn't hurt me."
Her voice was very gentle, and Bai Sui immediately abandoned Ying Qi and came back to cling to her. Song Xingyun found it very novel, "It's so similar..."
"100 years old".
Just then, Yu Mushang's voice rang out from not far away. The two people and the dog all looked towards the source of the sound. Bai Sui excitedly shifted its target and rushed towards him, while Ying Qi collapsed to the ground, exhausted. Song Xingyun's breath hitched, "Could it be..."
How could she forget?
Longevity was also a gift he gave to himself back then... The last sentence of his letter at the time was, "I hope you can take good care of it and live to be a hundred years old."
He was probably afraid she might commit suicide at the time...
Song Xingyun remembered that she couldn't come up with a suitable name even after thinking about it all night. Finally, after repeatedly reading his letter, she immediately decided on it. At that moment, she held the tiny puppy in her arms and said, "How about you name him Changming?"
The voice of the centenarian pulled her out of her memories. Song Xingyun couldn't help but wonder if Yu Mushang remembered the little dog he had given her, since he didn't remember her.
But the thought of this made me a little discouraged. Labradors can have litters of eight, so maybe she was just one of the little owners...
Yu Mushang was already leading Bai Sui towards her. Bai Sui skillfully guided him around obstacles, and Song Xingyun's eyes inexplicably reddened again.
Just as Yu Mushang stopped, he heard her sniffle. He frowned and asked, "You don't like it?"
Song Xingyun shook her head several times.
"I like it."
"I love it so much."
Ying Qi, always eager for a good show, couldn't resist teasing him, "Do you prefer people or dogs?"
Yu Mushang's hand gripping the rope tightened, and he was about to order Ying Qi to be poisoned when he heard her cheerful voice ring out from across the room.
I like them both.
"I love them all!"
