He Was Blind

Qu Yao was really smelly. She sighed deeply and said, "I fell into the water and got dirty. You'd better stay away from me. Be careful not to get your clothes dirty too."

Before she could finish her sentence, Bai Yihe had already walked quickly towards her with stumbling steps.

He did not care about the blind cane pointing the way. He even knocked against the table and asked nervously, "Why did you fall into the water? Is it the pond in the South Courtyard?"

He ignored Qu Yao's struggle and touched her face to her body. "Are you okay? It's all my fault."

"How can it be your fault?"

Qu Yao was baffled. It was not Bai Yihe who pushed her into the water. How could it be his fault?

"It's my fault for not taking good care of you. Tomorrow, I'll get someone to fill up the pond in the South Courtyard."

"..."

"You can leave. I'm going to take a bath in a while."

As they spoke, two servant girls brought in two buckets of hot water. They greeted Bai Yihe, then one filled the bathtub with water while the other helped Qu Yao remove her make-up.

"Both of you can leave. I'll take care of the rest." Bai Yihe's voice was clear, but his words sounded like a bomb in Qu Yao's ears.

"You?!" She turned around in shock.

The two maidservants were obedient. They covered their faces and sneakily laughed as they left.

"Don't go!"

Qu Yao tried to stop them, but was stopped by Bai Yihe. "Don't worry. Although I can't see, the feeling in my hands is very accurate. I can help you."

"But I have to take off my clothes and take a shower?" Is this something that he could help? Based on the feelings in his hands, would he touch every part of her body!

Bai Yihe smiled innocently. "I can't see anyway."

"..." Fine, you have a point.

Qu Yao didn't know why she was getting hotter and hotter, and her heart was beating faster and faster. Especially when his fingers touched her body, she couldn't help but shiver.

She repeated it a hundred times in her heart: He's blind, he's blind, he's blind..

After two hours, she was finally free from the blind man's hands.

Bai Yihe reached into the bathtub, wanting to carry Qu Yao out. Qu Yao was so scared that she quickly pushed him away. "I'll do it myself! I'll do it myself!"

She had to at least put on some clothes before he carried her!

Qu Yao was now like a cooked duck. She did not know if the water was too hot or if she was burning.

Just as she wrapped her clothes, Bai Yihe carried her up. Her feet suddenly rose into the air and she cried out in shock, "What are you doing?"

Bai Yihe, "I'm carrying you to the bed."

"...You don't have a blind cane. You're a blind man carrying someone and you still wanted to walk? Don't bring me along and fall together."

"It's okay. You are my eyes." He lowered his head and looked at Qu Yao gently. "I'll walk as you say."

.....

Fifteen years ago, her sister had said the same thing to Qu Yao.

In the middle of the night, by the lakeside, her sister smiled and said to little Qu Yao behind her, "It doesn't matter. If you're afraid, follow me. I'll be your eyes. You'll walk the way I walk."

However, she followed her sister's footsteps and walked into the bottomless abyss.

"Say it. Walk forward first, right?" Bai Yihe's voice interrupted Qu Yao's thoughts.

"Yes."

Her voice was slightly hoarse. "Walk fifteen steps forward.".

Bai Yihe steadily walked fifteen steps forward.

"Walk thirteen steps to the left."

"Turn right to avoid the table."

"Walk another twenty steps forward and you'll be there."

As Qu Yao said this, Bai Yihe followed along for a while. He silently counted the steps in his heart. Qu Yao also kept her eyes on the ground, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck, afraid that she would fall down.

Originally, 20 steps was just right, but for some reason, Bai Yihe had only walked 19 steps before he arrived, but he had just taken one more step.

Seeing that he was about to take another step and crash into the bed, Qu Yao quickly stopped him. "Stop! Ah..."

She was tightly protected by Bai Yihe and fell down in the end. Fortunately, she fell on the bed instead of the ground.

Qu Yao could not push the man who was pressing down on her body no matter how hard she tried. She scolded in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you to stop? Why are you still walking!"

"But we haven't reached twenty steps yet."

His leg seemed to have been hurt. His eyebrows were knitted tightly together. His hands were propped on Qu Yao's sides, and he could not get up for a long time.

"You little blind man, why are you so stubborn? Why didn't you listen to me when I told you to stop?"

Qu Yao struggled to push Bai Yihe away, but she didn't expect to accidentally push Bai Yihe down. She watched as the man on her suddenly fell, and his lips accurately landed on the corner of her mouth.

Qu Yao's big sparkling eyes widened even more.

Bai Yihe also used his blind eyes to stare straight at Qu Yao who was in his arms.

There was rare silence in the room.
