“What are you afraid of? You don’t have to worry about money, even without a job.” Huo Yunting could not bear to see her reaction and held her wrists. “President Xiang has accepted your resignation.”
Xiang Jinxi had accepted her resignation?
Lu Zhaoyang’s mind was blank losing her job.
She only realized now what use it would be to keep her job when she could not see, read reports, write a business plan, sign on documents. The company would terminate her one day anyway.
“How did you get access to my email?”
“Was it hard to crack a brainless password?”
Lu Zhaoyang was speechless. Sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, she leaned slightly toward him. “What should I do if I cannot find a suitable cornea or the transplantation comes too late?”
“What do you want to do?” Huo Yunting asked back suddenly.
His question let Lu Zhaoyang face up to herself for the first time.
What could she do?
Giving up on herself and living in tears every day?
That was not her.
She knew she was timid and liked woolgathering but she was still Lu Zhaoyang who could muddle it along.
She still had life; it was just that it was a new way of living.
“There are no disabled people in the world, only crippled hearts. I hope that I can get through this. So many people with blindness can live well, and some can even find their place in the world. So, I guess I can try too.”
She cheered herself up with these words and smiled, the movements of muscles on her face made her wounds feel painful, and her looks ugly.
Huo Yunting held her shoulders. “Sleep now. It is eleven.”
“Impossible. We have just had our dinner not long ago. How could it be eleven o’clock?” She did not believe him. “Don’t bully me knowing that I cannot see.”
“All right, it is nine o’clock now.” Huo Yunting just did not want her to overthink.
Did he really bluff? Lu Zhaoyang sighed and lay down.
“I need a cell phone.”
“What for?”
“To see the time. Err, no. To tell the time.”
She could not see but must not live without even knowing the time.
“Okay, tomorrow.”
“Thank you, please remember to have your dinner.”
“I am eating. I am a little sleepy too. I will sleep with you.”
While speaking, he turned off the notebook, took off his suit jacket, and climbed into her bed.
Lu Zhaoyang moved to the side a little. After he laid down, she snuggled herself in his arms, feeling his breath.
“You will go hungry.” She whispered and pulled his clothes tight to her.
“I can eat you when I am hungry.”
He said with a deadpan expression but his mood was no longer the same as before.
He wrapped his big hand around her skinny waist, without touching her wounds.
“Let’s sleep. I am going to eat you if you don’t sleep.”
“You are still bullying me even when I am injured.”
“No matter what you become, I will continue to bully you. Don’t try to hide, you are going to repay what you owe me, and things have just begun.”
It was a quiet and peaceful night. But Lu Zhaoyang did not really have inner peace.
Now, she could no longer see and had lost her job. She had a problem going out by herself. She had tons of challenges that she needed to overcome.
She still did not know how to tell her blindness to her mother.
The thoughts bothered her the whole night and Lu Zhaoyang did not get to sleep.
She would like to look at him as much as she wanted to see the outside world.
She especially missed the smile on his lips and his soul-hooking mesmerizing eyes.
