Seeing Gu Qingxian's unpleasant expression, Shen Ye said again, "What's wrong? You think it's too little? Someone told me that your watch is a high-quality replica. 5,000 yuan is already a discount because I urgently need the money."
Shen Ye spoke the words "high-quality imitation" so casually that it made Gu Qingxian feel uneasy. She wondered if the little boy was genuinely stupid or just pretending.
"Why did you save me?" Perhaps because he was born into a large family, he was more cautious in his actions, so he was very suspicious of Shen Ye's motives for saving him.
"Because... your eyes look like someone's." If he could, he would definitely restore sight to those eyes.
Who is that person?
For a long time, Shen Ye didn't speak again, just staring blankly at Gu Qingxian, as if he could see another person through his soul.
"Who are you looking at through my eyes?" Although his eyes are blind, his mind is not.
"without....."
"You saved me, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" Gu Qingxian asked again.
"What? You're some big shot? Could you be the missing CEO that's been in the news these past few days?" Shen Ye teased deliberately, though he had already guessed his identity but didn't expose him.
"Hehe, of course not. Have you ever seen the president of a large corporation wearing a high-quality counterfeit watch?"
"That's true."
Apart from his severely injured eyes, Gu Qingxian was otherwise unharmed and was discharged from the hospital after a few days. Shen Ye took him back to the original owner's rented apartment; since it was a remote place, no one would notice the sudden appearance of a stranger.
Fortunately, Gu Qingxian was not the kind of person who was spoiled. He did not complain about the poor food, drink and accommodation. Perhaps he had no right to complain in his current situation.
With one more person, there's one more mouth to feed. Chen Ye wrote day and night. Besides the novel "The CEO" that he published on a certain website, he also worked as a ghostwriter on other websites, selling his work at a low price of 20 yuan per thousand words.
Shen Ye not only needs to earn money to eat, but also wants to earn money to give him a corneal transplant so that he can open his eyes again. How could Shen Ye bear to let such a beautiful pair of eyes be blind forever?
One night, Gu Qingxian groped her way to the computer and asked, "You go to bed very late every day, what do you do for a living?"
Without turning his head, Shen Ye said, "What other job could I have? Just a struggling writer in the online novel world."
"What kind of job is this?"
"He's a novelist. Don't tell me you haven't read any novels." Shen Ye stopped typing and looked back at Gu Qingxian's handsome face. He was truly a sight to behold. If he were sent to sell his ass, there would definitely be a line of people waiting for him.
"Hmm, I've never actually read one." Rich young men spend their days playing with money, who would read novels!
"So you don't understand, go to sleep."
"Um."
Since Gu Qingxian came along, Shen Ye has been even more exhausted than before. Every day, he not only works hard to earn money by writing, but also has to take care of Gu Qingxian like both a father and a mother. Fortunately, Gu Qingxian is quite smart. In the beginning, Shen Ye had to help him with everything, but later he did everything himself, except for washing clothes.
After dinner, Shen Ye would take Gu Qingxian out for a walk and buy groceries for the next day. She would also keep him informed about news from the Gu Group and had even put him on the waiting list at the hospital long ago, so that she would notify him as soon as a suitable cornea became available.
Every night, Gu Qingxian wondered how anyone could selflessly do these things and bear responsibilities that were not originally his in this materialistic age.
At first, Gu Qingxian thought Shen Ye had ulterior motives, but after spending time with him, he realized that Shen Ye was really silly, so silly that he had the urge to stay with him for the rest of his life.
