Chapter 84 will not stop here.
Chapter 84 will not stop here.
And so, Mo Wunian successfully ended up in the hospital as a critically ill patient again. His days consisted of sleeping, waking up, eating, spacing out, chatting with people, eating, and sleeping again.
Moreover, he noticed that his sleep had visibly improved since getting through that ordeal; at least he no longer suffered from sleepless nights.
Although as time went on, he began to dream of new things, he preferred to live each day as it came.
He's blind, so just let him have his way.
After all, while people might say these things are nothing, it's definitely untrue to say they have no impact on life.
After all, I'm still not quite used to the world of sensory perception; I can't really read books, I can only smell flowers, and I'll bump into walls while walking.
However, once he gets used to it for a while and becomes familiar with the route, this kind of thing definitely won't happen again!
So don't have someone watching him every day, and instead rush out and pull him away when you want to familiarize yourself with the area by yourself!
Otherwise, it wouldn't be his fault if something like last time happened—where he wandered around the hospital at night and almost scared the doctor.
He's still a man who has to go to the battlefield!
--------
"Sigh... Dr. Wei"
"I don't need to waste any more time on my eyes."
"The blindness is complete and irreversible."
"No, what if there's still a chance?"
"After all, under normal circumstances you should be able to see a glimmer of light."
"Situations like this, where there is only darkness, are extremely unusual..."
Sitting on the hospital bed, holding the latest novel from Jinzhou—after lying in bed for several months, he had regained the ability to read by sensing the flow of ink; after all, he had to get used to the days when he couldn't see.
Tilting his head, sensing Wei An's direction, perhaps even glancing over, he sighed helplessly, advising the other not to bother anymore.
"How could I not know my situation?"
"Completely blind, beyond saving."
"I don't think it's a big deal, so you don't need to worry about it anymore."
"Besides, you know I have superhuman perception of my surroundings..."
"From now on, we can use that method to determine direction."
He casually put the book aside; he was already used to a world of complete darkness.
"You seem to have a very open-minded attitude."
"Others were heartbroken to see you struggling to walk."
"That's because I haven't gotten used to it yet..."
Wei An looked at Mo Wunian, whose eyes were lifeless but showed no panic, and who even insisted on returning to the military camp, and he truly admired him:
Of those who lose their sight in accidents, only one in ten might not be constantly in tears. How could someone as heartless as this person be constantly thinking about being discharged?
"Oh, right."
"My discharge papers should be ready by now, right? I've been here so long, it's time to go home..."
"It's been approved, but as you know, everyone else is busy lately, and I also need to take care of other patients..."
"I'm fine on my own, don't worry."
Hearing that this was the reason, Mo Wunian wasn't surprised. After all, they had only recently regained the lost territory, so they were bound to be very careful in defending it.
Ji Yan and the others were busy, but it wasn't a big deal; he could still get back with his luggage.
"...So the Chief Secretary specifically found someone to help you..."
"Be mentally prepared"
Seeing Wei An's complicated expression, he only felt a little confused and didn't understand why there was anything to prepare for in this situation.
"Isn't it just about finding someone to help me?"
"What should I be mentally prepared for—"
Walking down the street, he was trembling slightly, sensing the restless energy of those around him. He maintained a cheerful facade, but inwardly he was weeping.
"General Geshu... what brings you here today to help a nobody like me move some things..."
"You've been pretty busy lately, haven't you...?"
"Don't listen to their nonsense... Although it's just a minor, fatal wound, it won't prevent me from moving around on my own at all..."
"You must be busy with important matters... I won't bother you with such a small thing..."
"To shut up"
"Ok"
He shut his mouth, which he still wanted to struggle with, in a very cowardly (crossed out) and sensible way, and sighed helplessly with his head down: How could he have known that the person Changli was looking for would be Geshu Lin! Making that arrogant guy carry things for him was practically asking for his life!
Changli, what kind of conditions did you offer to get the other party to come?!
He couldn't help but sigh again. Just as he was pondering how to thank the other person, he suddenly heard the person beside him speak.
"You're very unhappy to see me?"
"No, no, no...that's not true."
"Then why are you always trying to get rid of me?"
"what?"
Upon hearing this ambiguous statement, he felt a sudden cerebellum shrink, and was somewhat taken aback. If he didn't know that the person on this timeline wasn't his Xiaobai, he would have seriously wondered if they had crossed over.
"...No, that's all."
"I just feel that someone like General Geshu should be doing more important things, rather than wasting his time on me..."
"I can do it all by myself."
"Oh? Are you sure?"
Hearing Geshulin's voice filled with doubt, despite her blindness, the stubbornness in her heart was instantly ignited. She released her grip on his hand, about to turn and leave, but was suddenly pulled back by a force, falling back into his embrace.
"……Oh"
"If you walk any further that way, you'll hit a lamppost."
"..."
Oh no, it seems it really is. I was so focused on perceiving the person next to me and the road ahead that I forgot about everything around me.
"...That was an accident."
"I'll try again."
You have no chance.
His hand was gripped tightly, and his attempts to break free only provoked the other person's displeasure. The other person's fingers slowly separated his five fingers, then tightened again, as if trying to completely control his hand. He could even clearly feel the calluses on the other person's palm, rough and strong.
"..."
Dude, I think there's something going on between us.
He was genuinely scared of the possibility that the person he was dealing with would become a yandere in the future, especially since that person was himself. He sometimes really wanted to call the police for help.
But he felt that as soon as he called the police, the person who answered the call was the other party.
In the end, he chose to compromise, letting that person lead him back the way he came. Unfortunately, Mo Wunian, being blind, couldn't see the expression on the person's face.
Otherwise, he probably would have seen the slightly smug smile on the face of the person who is now known for his aloofness.
"……arrive"
"Please leave the things here, thank you, General."
"I can handle the rest myself."
Using his familiarity with the surroundings, he carefully arranged the items, turned around following his senses, and thanked someone.
"You want to kick me out again?"
"..."
He was wrong. At this time, Ge Shulin was not only arrogant and a little conceited, but also had a vivid imagination!
Even Xiaobai couldn't imagine what he was going to do.
"General...that's not what I meant."
"I was just afraid I would be troubling you..."
You're not a problem.
I felt a light tap on my head; it wasn't hard, and I could tell the person had held back. They narrowed their eyes, forced a smile, and then said nothing.
"I am here today on Changli's behalf as well. I took care of all the matters in the army before I left."
There's no need to worry.
He groped his way to a chair, propped his chin up with his left hand, and closed his eyes. Although he knew the other person had come to take care of him because of Chang Li, he was still somewhat moved by what the other person had just said.
She grabbed a piece of fruit from the fruit plate and stuffed it into her mouth, trying to hide her ulterior motives, but after only a few bites, it was snatched away by the person next to her.
"Is this what you usually eat?"
"?"
He blinked; although he couldn't see, he felt that this wouldn't prevent him from expressing his current confusion.
"Is there a problem? There should still be some on the plate if you want to eat it..."
"...Have you lost your sense of taste?"
"what?!"
I almost choked to death, nearly stumbled and fell off the chair, completely unaware of how I had exposed myself:
Last time, it was bad enough that Ji Yan discovered it by mistake, but how come this kid saw through it again this time?
Compared to the shock of Mo Wunian being discovered, Ge Shulin wasn't feeling so good. Looking at the person in front of him who was still confused, his tone unconsciously softened a bit.
"...this fruit is very acidic."
"It can even be used for scientific research."
"Ordinary people can use it to enhance the flavor of dishes."
"Unlike you..."
He took several bites right away, without any expression on his face.
"..."
Mo Wunian fell silent: He had said that in the days when he could still see the light, whenever he held this fruit and ate it, Ji Yan would always cast an indescribable look at him.
So that's the reason.
"I just think it tastes good when you eat it..."
Although he didn't need to eat, he still had to pretend. He never expected that the best-tasting fruit he had been eating for so long would turn out like this.
Can't get over sourness
"I……"
"answer me"
"……Yes"
"When?"
He almost lost his composure upon hearing this: When did you say? Of course, it's when I found the miniature version of you!
But I definitely can't say that to the other person, so I'll just have to find another time.
"Was it during the battle on the northern defense line about three years ago?"
"Anyway, you wouldn't be able to really taste it back then."
Unable to see the other person's expression, he could only sit uneasily in his chair, remaining silent, though he truly couldn't understand why Ge Shulin would care about such a trivial matter.
"...You're quite pathetic."
"Haven't you thought about getting it treated for so long?"
"Uncurable"
"Just like my eyes"
"..."
He sighed silently. It wasn't just that he couldn't cure it; that thing was etched into his soul, impossible to shake off.
The other person seemed to realize that this topic was no longer suitable for continuing the conversation, so they took the initiative to change the subject.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Of course there are.
"Get used to this habit as soon as possible, then return to the battlefield."
"..."
After he poured out his heart, a moment of silence enveloped the room. However, this tranquility did not last long; a soft chuckle followed, and then a warm hand gently lifted his chin, forcing him to look up.
"The army doesn't accept useless people... What do you think of your current situation..."
What else can be done?
"I can do far more than you think, General."
"If you don't believe me, I can start from the bottom."
