In the instant she jumped out of the car, Gu Qingxian considered many possible consequences: death, losing limbs, but she never imagined becoming blind.
"You're really sick in the head. I think you're not only blind, but also heartless. I saved you, and instead of a word of thanks, you started talking rudely to me as soon as you woke up. Are you a dog?"
Shen Ye was also furious. He should have known better than to save him. His kindness was taken for granted. When he saw Gu Qingxian covered in injuries, he should have ignored him and kicked him a couple more times to avenge the humiliation he had suffered.
But there are no such things as knowing beforehand in this world!
"You're like a dog now, barking incessantly." Although he was blind, his hearing had become unusually sharp, so the person who saved him must be quite young.
"Who are you calling a dog? You're the dog, your whole family are dogs! I should have just let you die in that mountain cave. Saving you is my bad luck!" Shen Ye was furious. How could there be such a person in this world? It's true that good people don't get rewarded.
"I didn't ask you to save me. And get out of here right now." Gu Qingxian's voice wasn't loud, but there was a ruthless decisiveness in his calm tone.
Shen Ye was filled with shame and anger. She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen anyone as shameless as this. "You are really something. I kindly saved you, and now you're telling me you didn't ask me to save you? If that's the case, then you should have woken up and told me when I was saving you that you didn't need me to save you, right?"
Gu Qingxian didn't speak, but Shen Ye spoke again, "Hey, even if you're angry that you've gone blind, you don't need to take it out on your savior. Your eyes can still be saved. You can regain your sight with a corneal transplant. Don't be so pessimistic."
Gu Qingxian remained silent for a long while, as if he was thinking about something. Gradually, the gloom on his face subsided. "Don't you know who I am?"
Why should I know who you are? Are you a celebrity? An internet celebrity?
"Neither." Gu Qingxian breathed a slight sigh of relief, then asked, "What's your name?"
"Chen... Lin Xi." I almost let it slip again.
"Lin Xi..." Gu Qingxian repeated the name softly, "You must be quite young, right? Are you a student?"
"Of course not. I'm only 18, but I'm already out of school." Shen Ye said helplessly. The original owner lost both parents when she was 15 and then dropped out of school to support herself by doing odd jobs.
"At this age, you should be in college."
"..." Shen Ye didn't want to continue this topic. "Tell me where your home is? I'll take you back. You've been missing for several days. Your family must be very worried."
"I have no family," Gu Qingxian said calmly, not intending to tell Shen Ye about her identity.
Shen Ye stared at Gu Qingxian for a long while, as if interrogating him and pondering his words. "So we're in the same boat. You should be able to guess that I'm young and poor, so I couldn't afford to pay for your hospitalization and surgery, right?"
"so what?"
"So you have to be discharged. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I sold your watch to pay for your hospital fees, but there's hardly anything left."
The ward smelled unpleasant, and the sheets and blankets were rough, making it easy to guess that the environment was quite poor. So, a few days' stay here would at most cost a few tens of thousands of yuan, certainly not more than his watch could cover.
"How much did you sell it for?" Gu Qingxian asked.
"5000!"
"..." Gu Qingxian almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Even if he sold his watch secondhand, it would be worth at least 600,000 to 700,000. This idiot only sold it for 5,000!
