Huo Yanqing fell silent again. Shuxin felt suffocated again. Did he think she was being too noisy? Or did he think she was being too nosy?
After a long time, just as Shuxin's imagination was running wild and she was about to lose her balance from nervousness, Huo Yanqing spoke. "Do you know why I'm blind?"
In her past life, Shuxin and Huo Yanqing had never crossed paths. In this life, although they had met a few times, she didn't know much about him. What she knew about him was basically from rumors.
The rumors only said that he was a blind man with a sinister temperament, ruthless methods, and unparalleled beauty who didn't like women.
As for why he couldn't see, she had never heard a word about it.
Shuxin didn't know why Huo Yanqing suddenly changed the topic to his blindness when she was talking about her headache, but she still shook her head subconsciously. "I don't know."
"During a special operation, a bomb exploded. My father, second brother, and fourth brother all died. At the critical moment, they used their bodies to protect me. My head hit a rock, and there was a blood clot in my brain, which pressed on my visual nerves and caused me to lose my sight. Since then, I've had deafening explosions and bloody explosions in my dreams every night. I haven't been sleeping well for a long time, and that's how I ended up with these headaches. "
Huo Yanqing sounded as if he was narrating someone else's story. His tone was flat, and there wasn't a trace of unusual emotion on his calm face.
However, Shuxin knew that Huo Yanqing's heart must be turbulent because the skin under her fingers was in a state of tension when Huo Yanqing said these words.
Shuxin was deeply shaken by Huo Yanqing's words.
Shuxin didn't know why, but she felt especially sad. There was a faint pain in the depths of her heart, and her eyes unconsciously became hot.
Shuxin couldn't imagine how painful it must be to watch your loved ones die in front of you. Not just one, but three at a time.
Now, whenever she thought about how Shu Mengling had said that Shu Youkang was in critical condition and didn't have much time left, her heart would ache.
How would Huo Yanqing face such a heartbreaking parting?
Every night was a nightmare. How hard must it have been for him all these years?
No wonder Song Li said that Huo Yanqing's life was very simple. Work was his everything. Perhaps only when he worked hard could he divert his attention and temporarily forget the pain.
"Are you crying?" Huo Yanqing suddenly opened his ink-black eyes.
Shuxin reached out to touch her cheeks, only to find that her face was already covered in tears. She hurriedly wiped the tears off her face and said, "I'm sorry … I … lost control of my emotions for a moment."
Huo Yanqing's handsome face was filled with gentleness. "What a kind girl." As he spoke, he took out a neatly folded handkerchief from his pocket and raised his head slightly to look in Shuxin's direction. "Move your face closer."
Shuxin didn't notice Huo Yanqing holding the handkerchief, so she didn't know what he wanted to do. She hadn't calmed down yet, so she subconsciously obeyed. She bent down and moved her face closer. "Fifth Uncle, is there anything I can help you with?"
The word 'help' was instantly stuck in her throat when Huo Yanqing placed the handkerchief on her face.
Shuxin's heart instantly jumped to her throat. She was completely dumbfounded and forgot to move away. She just stared blankly at Huo Yanqing holding the handkerchief and wiping the tears from her face and the corners of her eyes.
His fingers occasionally brushed against her cheeks as he wiped them.
