Lin Zeyu resolutely expressed his determination that he would rather lose his eyes than have Jiujiu treat him.
Jiujiu was about to be angered to the point of laughing by Lin Zeyu. She originally thought that with Lin Zeyu's thoughts, if he knew that she had a way to cure his eyes, he would definitely beg for her help. Even if he wasn't willing to marry her, it would still be good if they were engaged. But who would have thought that he would resolutely refuse her when she had just started? Jiujiu really didn't know what to say.
Seeing Lin Zeyu's resolute expression, Jiujiu helplessly sighed. She pursed her lips and softly said: "You really don't want to treat your eyes?"
"I do." Lin Zeyu was exceptionally calm: "This one naturally wants to treat my eyes, but if the condition of Miss treating my eyes is to marry you, then I don't want to think about it."
Jiujiu gritted her teeth: "Do you hate me so much that you don't want to marry me?"
Hearing the anger in Jiujiu's words, Lin Zeyu's heart was flustered. He almost subconsciously denied: "No, this one, this one doesn't have such thoughts. It's just that this one's life is in danger, so I definitely can't harm Miss's life."
When these words were said, Lin Zeyu's originally lifeless eyes instantly dimmed. After a long sigh, he softly said: "Miss, you're still young. In the future, you'll meet a better person."
Hearing Lin Zeyu's righteous words, Jiujiu was instantly angered to the point of laughing.
In the past, when she met her man, her man couldn't wait to turn into a wolf and eat her in his den to watch over her. It was the first time that he was desperately pushing her away like this.
However, thinking of Lin Zeyu's current situation, Jiujiu instantly felt relieved.
Jiujiu pursed her dry lips and raised her hand to touch Lin Zeyu's cheek.
The moment Jiujiu's fingers touched Lin Zeyu's cheek, Lin Zeyu grabbed Jiujiu's fingers.
However, the moment he touched Jiujiu's finger, Lin Zeyu was stunned.
So small, so soft.
This was not the first time Lin Zeyu had touched a girl's finger, but it was the first time he had touched such a small and soft hand.
Jiujiu's hands were really small. Her fingers were soft as if they didn't have any bones. Her skin was delicate and had a faint warmth. This kind of touch made Lin Zeyu reluctant to let go.
"Young Master, are you changing your mind?" Jiujiu looked at Lin Zeyu's hand that was holding her finger and said with a smile, "If Young Master continues like this, I'll take it as you agreeing to my condition."
Jiujiu's words were like a bolt from the blue. Lin Zeyu, who had been holding Jiujiu's hand, immediately let go and said, "This one has been rude, I hope Miss will forgive me."
Jiujiu pursed her lips, "If Young Master is willing to marry me, I'll be yours, not to mention a hand."
Lin Zeyu's eyelids drooped, hiding the shyness in his eyes. His lips moved, but he couldn't say a word.
The atmosphere instantly froze.
Jiujiu saw that Lin Zeyu was still unwilling to agree, so she angrily stomped her feet and turned to leave.
Hearing the sound of her footsteps gradually fading away, Lin Zeyu first let out a sigh of relief, then a faint sense of disappointment flashed through his heart.
Although Jiujiu was angered by Lin Zeyu, she understood that Lin Zeyu was doing this for her safety. Although she was angry, she still couldn't bear to leave Lin Zeyu alone.
Although Lin Zeyu didn't agree, Jiujiu still had to treat Lin Zeyu's eyes.
The reason Lin Zeyu's eyes were blind wasn't because the people the Crown Prince sent to kill him had poisoned him, but because he had been poisoned in the first place.
This was because the hidden guard leader had a token that could command all the hidden guards. In order to prevent the hidden guard leader from betraying them and to show their loyalty, all the hidden guard leaders would swallow the poison. The only antidote was in the hands of the Emperor.
As long as there was a change in the hidden guard leader, the Emperor could make him die from the poison.
In the past, Lin Zeyu's poison had always been suppressed, but this time, he had returned late. Moreover, under his heavy injuries, the poison had been stimulated. Although it did not harm his life, it had caused him to lose his sight.
If she wanted Lin Zeyu's eyes to recover, she only needed to concoct the antidote.
Fortunately, there were herbs everywhere at the bottom of the cliff. After a while, Jiujiu found all the herbs needed for the antidote and then went outside to concoct the pill.
For three consecutive days, Jiujiu returned to the Li Estate in the evening and went to take care of Lin Zeyu the next morning.
On the evening of the third day, Jiujiu finally concocted the antidote.
Jiujiu knew that if she directly gave it to Lin Zeyu, Lin Zeyu wouldn't eat it. Thus, Jiujiu dissolved the antidote in the soup and had Lin Zeyu drink it.
The next morning, Lin Zeyu opened his eyes out of habit when he woke up. However, this time, it wasn't as dark as usual. Instead, he saw a hazy light.
He even saw the light yellow thatch on the roof.
Lin Zeyu blinked and then saw Little White and Steamed Bun standing beside him like guards.
At this moment, familiar footsteps came from outside the room. Lin Zeyu impatiently turned his head and saw Jiujiu.
Just as he imagined, Jiujiu wasn't very old. She had a tender little face and a pair of amber cat eyes that shone with a misty light. The sun shone on Jiujiu's body, making Jiujiu look like a god.
Before, when he couldn't see Jiujiu, Lin Zeyu always wondered what Jiujiu looked like. Now that he saw Jiujiu's appearance, Lin Zeyu's throat seemed to be stuck and he couldn't say a single word.
Jiujiu's eyes were so bright. Her small lips were red and when she pursed her lips, two small and cute dimples appeared on her cheeks.
Lin Zeyu always knew that Jiujiu was very beautiful, but now that he saw Jiujiu's appearance, Lin Zeyu realized that there really was someone who could make words lose their color.
Jiujiu's existence made all the words of praise instantly lose their color. She was like the only source of light, instantly appearing in front of him. Lin Zeyu was stunned.
Sensing Lin Zeyu's dazed gaze, Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled: "Are your eyes better?"
"They're better." After Lin Zeyu finished speaking, he suddenly realized that Jiujiu had helped him heal his eyes. Thinking of Jiujiu's strange request of him marrying her, Lin Zeyu's eyes instantly flashed with a conflicted look.
Before he saw Jiujiu, he really didn't want Jiujiu to fall into a disaster because of him. But when he saw Jiujiu, Lin Zeyu's originally firm heart collapsed bit by bit like a loose wall.
He suddenly realized that he wanted to marry Jiujiu.
This thought came so suddenly that it was hard for him to resist, but it was so real and firm.
Lin Zeyu looked at Jiujiu's cheeks that were slightly flushed because of her chuckle, and a hint of struggle flashed through his eyes. He thought hard about how to find a foolproof plan, but no matter how he thought, he couldn't protect Jiujiu from any harm and marry Jiujiu.
