Chapter 117: My Eyes Can See the Light Now

Early morning, at the station.

Su Yan's appearance drew the attention of the surrounding pedestrians.

After all, a girl with her face covered by a black cloth was truly a rare sight.

Gu Yang naturally noticed those gazes, whether they were curious or gossipy, but he couldn't control everyone's eyes and mouths.

"What's wrong?" Su Yan's voice allowed his tense expression to relax slightly.

"It's nothing. I suddenly felt that I should have asked my parents to come along too."

Gu Yang forced himself to ignore the irrelevant people, thinking that if his parents were here, they could at least take her back after he boarded the train.

"Are you worried I won't know my way alone? My memory is very good; I remember every road I've walked once." Su Yan, of course, knew what he was worried about, and she repeated it once more.

Gu Yang's face was full of reluctance to leave.

"Is there anything else you want to say to me?" This time, it was Su Yan who asked.

Since yesterday, she had been waiting for Gu Yang to ask her about Qiao Yuan.

He had refused to listen to what Qiao Yuan had to say, and he should have asked her instead, yet he had never opened his mouth.

Now that he was about to leave, she was giving him this chance.

Gu Yang's deep gaze fell upon her face.

"Yes."

Su Yan had already prepared herself mentally, and she was equally prepared for how to answer.

"When I come back next time, I hope you can eat a bit more to gain some weight. You are far too thin right now." As Gu Yang spoke, he actually reached out and pinched her cheek affectionately.

Su Yan was indeed surprised. He had clearly heard so much from Qiao Yuan, yet he still chose to ask nothing?

Did he really trust her that much?

Gu Yang picked up his luggage, suppressing the urge to embrace her, and bid her farewell.

"Yan Yan, I'm leaving."

"Have a safe trip."

Su Yan's gaze beneath the black cloth followed the man's figure as he walked into the train. By the time she snapped out of it, she realized she was stroking the spot where he had just pinched her.

It felt tingly and numb.

An emotion she had never felt before slowly took root in her heart.

***

One week later.

Xinghua High School.

The school bell rang, and Sun Mang walked out of the classroom with Su Yan.

These days, Su Yan seemed to have grown accustomed to his persistent pestering and no longer drove him away.

"Su Yan, is today the day Su Mo gets discharged from the hospital? You should prepare yourself mentally."

"Why?" Su Yan asked absentmindedly.

Tomorrow was the weekend, and she planned to go out for a trip.

"Su Mo never liked you to begin with, and now that she's had her limb amputated, her temper will definitely be even more volatile. She might even take it out on you."

Sun Mang analyzed the situation logically, feeling that someone as strong as Su Yan was actually quite dull when it came to many aspects of daily life. However, since he would be by her side from now on, he would make sure to think through everything she might miss.

Su Yan didn't care about what he was saying at all.

"Anyway, if you stay at home, you'll have to face Su Mo. Why not come to my house this weekend? I'll have my grandmother make dumplings for you!" Sun Mang felt he was truly a thoughtful and clever fellow.

"No thanks, I'm going into the mountains tomorrow."

"Into the mountains? Which mountains? I'm going too!" Sun Mang immediately declared his stance. "Mountain paths are hard to walk; it would be good if I could scout the way for you."

"Final exams are coming up soon, don't you need to review?" Su Yan reminded him flatly.

As expected, Sun Mang wilted like a deflated ball, his face drooping.

His academic grades were at the bottom of the grade level; it was clearly impossible for him to get into a university.

However, for him now, whether he could go to university was no longer important. What mattered was staying by Su Yan's side.

"Su Yan, just let me go with you tomorrow, okay? Besides, I'm very good at climbing trees. I definitely won't cause you any trouble."

"No." Su Yan still refused without mercy.

Left with no choice, Sun Mang could only look at her aggrievedly as she walked away, his mind spinning non-stop.

Su Yan went straight home. To her surprise, not only had Su Mo been discharged, but Gu Qingfeng and Song Sining were also there.

Su Mo had become skin and bones; her complexion and mood were both poor, and the empty sleeve of her right arm was particularly jarring.

When the family saw Su Yan return, some were happy, while others were disgusted.

The hatred in Su Mo's eyes flickered brightly, but she didn't dare show anything in front of Gu Qingfeng and his wife.

After the couple chatted for a moment, they took their leave.

Song Sining specifically asked Su Yan to see them out.

Once they reached the main gate, Song Sining took Su Yan's hand and spoke.

"Yan Yan, Gu Yang specifically called us last night and told us we must come today. Su Mo has just been discharged, and her physical and mental state isn't good. If you feel uncomfortable staying at home, you can come stay at my place for a few days."

"Thank you, Auntie, but I'll be fine." Su Yan knew they truly cared for her, and even her refusal was well-behaved.

Gu Yang was also very thoughtful, still looking out for her even from thousands of miles away.

"Alright then. If you change your mind, you can come over anytime."

Although Gu Qingfeng didn't say much, his kind expression was the same as Song Sining's.

Su Yan saw them off, and before she could even enter the house, she heard Su Mo's crying.

With a cold sneer, she stepped inside.

Li Qiuhua was comforting Su Mo, but when Su Mo saw Su Yan at the door, she lost control of her emotions and grabbed a water cup sitting nearby, throwing it toward her.

By the time Su Jianguo reacted, it was too late to stop it.

He could only watch helplessly as the cup flew toward Su Yan's head.

If it hit, it would definitely cause a serious injury.

Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes reflecting different emotions, Su Yan actually tilted her body and perfectly dodged the cup.

*Crash!*

The cup hit the wall and shattered into pieces.

Even though Su Jianguo saw that Su Yan had avoided it, he was still pale with fright and immediately rushed over.

"Yan Yan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Su Yan's voice was somewhat low.

Su Mo and Li Qiuhua were stunned, especially Su Mo, who simply could not accept it. She began to scream in agitation.

"Dad, Mom, did you see that? If Su Yan is really blind, how could she dodge it?"

Su Jianguo's hands clenched into fists at his sides. Just as he was about to scold Su Mo, Su Yan's voice rang out first.

"Dad, it just so happens I have something I want to tell you."

Su Mo's breathing was ragged. This time, no matter what Su Yan said, she was determined to make her reveal those terrifying eyes hidden beneath the black cloth in front of everyone.

"Yan Yan, what do you want to say?" Su Jianguo suppressed his anger toward Su Mo.

Su Yan looked at Su Mo and Li Qiuhua and said unhurriedly, "Recently, my eyes have been able to see some light."

*Rumble!!*

Su Mo felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her; the blood in her entire body rushed to her head.

She had just lost her right arm and become disabled, yet this blind girl was telling them that her eyes could see light?!

This was even more painful than being killed!

On purpose!

This bitch was definitely doing this on purpose!

To mock her that from this day forward, she was the only one in this house who was broken!
