Feeling guilty, Wang Ci still couldn't resist stepping on Xia Chao's foot with her high heel before turning to leave, saying, "You really are a cold-blooded person. Even with all this success, you can still think so rationally."
Watching Wang Ci's departing figure, Xia Chao sighed wearily, "Stomping so hard, who's really more cold-blooded..."
On Monday, Ji You couldn't come to see Feng Guang. She had to go to school. Because of the accident, Feng Guang would be on leave for the entire semester unless her eyes recovered. Ji You had already taken a week off to stay at the hospital with Feng Guang, so she had no reason to take another day off.
Feng Guang sat on the hospital bed, her eyes closed as if she was about to fall asleep. After hearing footsteps beside her, she opened her eyes and said pitifully with her dull eyes, "Auntie, I really don't want to drink the chicken soup that Mom brought anymore."
A large hand patted the top of her head, and at the same time a pleasant male voice rang out, "If Feng Guang doesn't want to drink, then she doesn't have to."
"elder brother?"
“It’s me.” Ji Mian had just sat down on the edge of the bed when her hands reached out and grabbed his left hand.
Feng Guang blinked. "Why hasn't my brother come to see me these past few days? Is it because he's busy with his studies?"
He came to see her every day, but because he stood at the door and saw that her room was never empty, he never went in.
"Does the injury still hurt?" Ji Mian raised her right hand, her fingertips lightly touching the faded purple mark on the corner of her mouth.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"It must have hurt a lot back then."
"Um……"
"Did Feng Guang cry?"
"No!" she said with pride, but then she added shyly, "But when I woke up, I found that I couldn't see anything, so I cried quietly for a little while, really just for a little while."
Ji Mian let out a short, low laugh. "I believe Feng Guang's words."
She smiled brightly too.
Ji Mian suddenly stopped smiling, and his finger moved to the corner of her eye. "Feng Guang, what should we do? You can't see."
"It's okay. Even though I can't see, I can still feel many things." The wind blew through the white curtains. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I can hear the breeze and smell the grass that the wind is bringing in. This smell is much better than the disinfectant in the hospital."
The sunlight has faded from her eyes, but it remains in her smile, making her no different from anyone else.
She couldn't see Ji Mian's expression, so she didn't know that Ji Mian's expression was extremely gloomy at this moment. She only heard him ask her in his usual gentle voice, "That night, Feng Guangming could have abandoned Xiao You and run away, why did he stay?"
"Because a long, long time ago, my brother and I made a promise that Xiaoyou is my little sister, so I will protect her well."
Just as he expected, he withdrew his hand from her cheek, his calm voice barely concealing something, "Do you know... you almost died?"
"But I'm perfectly fine now, aren't I?"
"Have you ever thought about what would have happened if Fu Yang hadn't appeared that day...?"
"But... even if Brother Fu doesn't show up, I still have to help Xiao You escape."
"Why?"
"Because if something happens to Xiaoyou, my brother will be even more heartbroken than I am."
Ji Mian moved his lips but couldn't say anything. After a long while, he heard himself say in a dry, hoarse voice, "Xia Fengguang, you really are a... fool."
