Feng Guang looked up and laughed, "But now my wish has changed. I don't want to be a painter anymore. I want to be a gourmet, to eat delicious food every day, preferably lots of desserts."
"That really sounds like something Feng Guang would say." Ji Mian chuckled, her fingertip brushing against the corner of her eye again. "But... is this really alright?"
"It's okay." She smiled brightly. "I've memorized everyone's faces, so it doesn't matter whether I can see them or not."
Ji Mian did not speak.
Feng Guang blinked. "I'm really okay. When you're busy with your own things, don't worry about me. I still have my mom and dad, and the nanny. They will take good care of me."
Do you know what I'm going to do?
"I don't know." She shook her head honestly. "But I know it must be something very important, brother. Will it be dangerous?"
"No." Ji Mian had known for a long time that she possessed a sensitivity and intuition that were beyond the reach of ordinary people. It was precisely because of this that he, who had abandoned conscience and morality since childhood, would feel guilty. Yet, he still had to lie to her.
None of the people on the list Xia Chao gave him were easy to deal with. Perhaps Xia Chao had calculated that Ji Mian would not be able to defeat them, and that he would have no choice but to leave Feng Guang's side. Perhaps Xia Chao was just using these people to assess whether he was qualified to be the successor.
Fengguang's eyes held a hint of worry. "Brother...you must come back soon."
"I promised Fengguang I would come back soon." Ji Mian kissed her forehead, and finally, in this colorful flower room, kissed her cherry lips that were more beautiful than the flowers.
He couldn't bear to leave her where he couldn't see her.
In the first year after Ji Mian left, Feng Guang had adapted to life in darkness. In the second year, one morning when she woke up, her eyes could feel light again. A few months later, she finally regained her sight.
She was seventeen years old that year, starting high school a year later than usual. She was still in the same class as Ji You, but she skipped the first year and went straight to the second year.
Xia Chao had arranged everything. She didn't need to take any exams or participate in any sports. She wasn't there to study, but to have fun. Xia Chao said he just wanted his daughter to experience high school life.
The teacher in the office had mixed feelings. Well, children from wealthy families, even if they don't study, they won't have to worry about not being able to go to university or find a job in the future. After all, they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
But when Fengguang entered the second semester of her junior year, the man who had promised her he would come back as soon as possible still did not return. He never contacted her again, and she could not find any way to reach him. She thought that perhaps he had forgotten her.
Just like her and Ji You, they used to be best friends who could talk about anything. But recently, Ji You also had her own secret. She seemed to be dating some boy. Feng Guang had never seen the boy, and Ji You refused to say who the boy was. Gradually, the matter was left unresolved.
It wasn't time for school to let out yet when a boy not wearing a school uniform swaggered out of the school gate and yelled at the person on the other end of the phone, "Brother, let me tell you, don't be a coward. Since they gave me that medicine, I'll make good use of it. You know, if I can win over the eldest daughter of the Xia family, that means I'll have climbed up to the Xia family's power. At that time, I don't care about whether they're from the main family or not, they'll have to treat me, the young master from a collateral branch, well."
The refined young man standing at the school gate, waiting for someone, slightly raised his gaze and smiled slightly.
