Honesty

When Ning Chen came in, Qin Yu was sleeping with her tablet in her arms. The cute little animals on the screen were running around randomly, causing a lot of casualties within the game.

Ning Chen looked at her and frowned. He did not understand what was going on with himself. Whenever he saw her, he would always think of the 'Genius Girl'. Why had that girl wanted that kind of drug? Was she in some kind of trouble?

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and left a message for his penpal. "I've prepared the medicine for you. How should I pass it to you?"

Qin Yu suddenly opened her eyes and saw him standing there. She was stunned for a moment, but quickly looked back at the device in her hand. "Ah, my baby is dead!"

Her fingers danced on the screen as she tried to salvage her little character in the game.

Ning Chen observed her movements, but he couldn't tell if the resemblance was just a coincidence. After all, this game was very simple. Her proficiency might be simply because she had practiced a lot, and it shouldn't be linked to her IQ.

The little mascots stood up one by one, and she put down the tablet. 

"Brother! You're back!"

Ning Chen sat himself at the table. He picked up a cup with one hand and held a teapot in the other to pour himself tea.

Qin Yu ran over and said eagerly, "Brother, let me do it."

She grabbed the teapot from Ning Chen, and he willingly let her.

Then, she took his hand and wrapped his fingertips around the teacup so as to not drop it. Ning Chen gripped it and drank the tea.

"Are you playing games?" he asked as he listened to the childish music blaring from Qin Yu's small tablet.

She shook her head. "No, I dozed off and my babies died in the end."

He smiled. "What about now?"

"Now they're alive!" gushed Qin Yu cheerfully.

Ning Chen just grinned and did not say a word.

She slowly squatted down next to Ning Chen's legs and stared up at him, silent. 

He stretched out his hand and waved it around in the air. She grabbed his wrist, placing his hand on top of her head.

Something slowly fluttered around in Ning Chen's heart.

In just one day, Qin Yu had accepted him.

She observed his distant gaze and sighed. 

Why was it so hard just to live?

His parents had been stolen from him, and then his eyes. It was truly unfair!

"What's wrong?" 

Ning Chen looked at her expression that had suddenly darkened and could not help but feel strange.

Qin Yu's gaze fell, her long eyelashes distinct. 

"Brother, I did something bad today."

Ning Chen raised his eyebrows.

She looked up at him. Sometimes, she really felt that he could see.

However, his eyes were lifeless. This was something that she could not convince herself otherwise even if she wanted to. Back then, she had heard from the doctor about the difference between the eyes of a blind and a normal person.

In the past, she had considered pretending to be blind instead of playing dumb. She did try, but it was too difficult; her acting skills were not up to par. Also, if she had appeared blind, it would have been more convenient for Qu Li and Shi Xiao to oppress her. 

Whoever would willingly pretend to be blind was probably out of their minds.

In the past five years, Ning Chen must have put in a lot of effort to practice his daily routines, to the point that he could now basically take care of himself and even handle business matters.

She understood that last night, Ning Chen had actually been testing her.

It was only right. He was already kind enough for not physically harming her and chasing her out of the place. 

Now that her silly wife disguise has been revealed to everyone, it was likely that the two of them would be in the same boat from this moment on

She may as well be honest and not make things difficult for him in the future.

"Xiaoyu? What exactly happened?" 

Ning Chen rubbed her head as he asked.

"Brother, I actually threw the kettle on purpose today." 

Her voice was small and guilt-ridden

She glanced at him nervously. Although she could not see any reaction in eyes, she wondered if she could at least catch some changes in his expression.

He didn't seem to understand what Qin Yu had said and sat there in a daze.

She tugged his sleeve and pulled his hand down from her head, simply kneeling beside his leg. 

"Brother, I mean, I deliberately threw the pot of hot water next to Eldest Cousin today. 

"She scolded me, but I didn't do it unjustly. I was just afraid that she would hit Ah Bi and Ah Yu again, so I did it. 

"I was prepared to cry myself to death in front of her if she hit me. She had wanted to strike me too, but when you came back, she didn't have a chance.

"Brother, thank you for helping me. You did not even reprimand me in their presence. There's no one else now. If you want to scold or punish me, can you do it in an empty place? I don't want Ah Bi and the others to see."

Qin Yu sniffed, glancing up at Ning Chen.

The corners of his lips curled up bit by bit, and he erupted into a boisterous laugh.

Qin Yu was astonished.

God! How could he be so good-looking?

She had once imagined that he had the appearance of the doctor whenever she looked at him, but her feelings had been too abstract to be put into words; she couldn't describe them. 

Ever since last night, Ning Chen's face had been overlapped with the doctor's in her view, as if he had been taken over.

She could not help but to pat her own head. 

Ning Chen grasped her hand. 

"What's wrong?"

Qin Yu was a little annoyed. "Brother, are you laughing at me for being silly?"

She was upset, thinking about how it was difficult to separate both their faces apart whenever she looked at him. 

Ning Chen stopped smiling and held her hand. 

"What a silly girl!"

Qin Yu was bewildered.
