She slowly walked in front with Fang Yusheng following her.

  Qiao Jiusheng lowered her head to fiddle with her camera. Fang Yusheng, who was behind her, finally opened his eyes. He finally got a chance and time to carefully look at Qiao Jiusheng. Qiao Jiusheng had lowered her head and tied up her long hair, revealing her neck. She was fair and beautiful.

  Fang Yusheng stared at her and suddenly recalled the charming scene from last night.

  When the tip of his tongue had swept across her snow-white neck, Qiao Jiusheng’s body had trembled.

  That seductive scene replayed in Fang Yusheng’s mind.

  Fang Yusheng’s eyes darkened.

  Suddenly, a pot of camellias rolled down from the corridor on the second floor of the ancient building by the street. Qiao Jiusheng happened to pass by this very corridor. Fang Yusheng saw a black shadow rapidly falling, and his heart tightened. However, his hands reached out first and grabbed Qiao Jiusheng’s waist, pulling her into his arms.

  The flower pot ruptured at the back of Qiao Jiusheng’s heel.

  Mud flew as the camellia fell to the ground. Two of its leaves dropped off, and the flowers violently shook.

  Fang Yusheng tightly hugged Qiao Jiusheng, feeling terrified.

  The person in his arms seemed to be frightened as well and was not moving.

  Fang Yusheng felt uneasy. He lowered his head to hold Qiao Jiusheng’s face and asked her, “Ah Sheng, are you frightened?”


  Unexpectedly, Qiao Jiusheng’s face held a smile.

  Fang Yusheng felt uneasy when he saw her smile.

  The corners of Qiao Jiusheng’s lips curled up. She did not answer Fang Yusheng’s question but asked one of her own. “Fang Yusheng, you said that you want me to trust you.” She poked Fang Yusheng’s chest and continued, “If you don’t trust me, what right do you have to gain my trust?”


  If not for her suspicion and deliberately getting someone to push down the camellia upstairs, which made Fang Yusheng expose himself in a hurry, Qiao Jiusheng would not dare to believe that his eyes had recovered.

  Fang Yusheng’s expression slightly changed.

  “Ah Sheng.”


  Qiao Jiusheng looked at Fang Yusheng’s open eyes. In the past, she only thought that these eyes were good-looking. She had forgotten how well hidden and pretentious the owner of these eyes was.

  Fang Yusheng did not know when Qiao Jiusheng had noticed that his eyes had recovered.

  His heart tightened as he realized that Qiao Jiusheng was furious this time.

  “Ah Sheng, let me explain…”


  Qiao Jiusheng took a step back and calmly looked at him. “Explain. I’ll listen.”


  Her calm expression made Fang Yusheng panic.

  Fang Yusheng completely lost his composure. He hurriedly explained, “The last time I went to America, it was to treat my eyes.” Seeing that Qiao Jiusheng was motionless, he sighed. He had no choice but to tell her everything. “Yinbing said that the surgery only had a 40% success rate. I wasn’t sure if the surgery would succeed, so I didn’t tell you in advance.

  “I know the feeling of waiting with hope only to be met with despair.”


  Fang Yusheng tried to pull Qiao Jiusheng’s hand, but before his hand could touch her, Qiao Jiusheng brushed it away. “Then, why didn’t you tell me when you came back?”


  Fang Yusheng remained silent.

  He felt guilty and did not dare to say it.

  Qiao Jiusheng interpreted his silence as another layer of meaning. “Look, you don’t even trust me. How dare you tell me to trust you?” She coldly looked at him and said, “Fang Yusheng, don’t be too arrogant.” Then, she turned around to leave.

  She left especially quickly this time.

  Since Fang Yusheng could see, she did not have to be his guide dog anymore.
