Chapter 660 - 658: Reluctant to Part with Xiao Jinghuai
Unable to see anything, Song Song instinctively reached out to rub her eyes again, but it was still the same, no change; she still... couldn’t see anything.What on earth is going on?
Could it be that she is just dreaming and couldn’t suddenly lose her sight overnight?
Sudden blindness should have been preceded by some accident, right?
So, she must be dreaming—
It must be.
Immediately, Song Song pinched her thigh hard, the pain didn’t seem very sharp, so she pinched herself again.
But upon opening her eyes, she remained in total darkness.
Thinking it through, it seemed she really had become blind.
Her eyes couldn’t see light nor anything else, she could only barely get hold of the phone on the bedside table and dialed Lan Yuzhe’s number based on previous records—
"Song Song, you’re calling me in the middle of the night... for what?" Lan Yuzhe sounded groggy, "We should keep a distance, otherwise your husband will make a jealous fuss."
"Third Master." Song Song grasped her phone tightly, "Come to my room, I... suddenly can’t see."
"What!"
Song Song heard Lan Yuzhe jump up from his bed in surprise.
...
Lan Yuzhe rushed anxiously to Song Song’s door and knocked, waiting for a while before she finally came to open it—
Originally thinking she might be playing around, but as soon as he entered, he indeed saw her groping around the room, calling, "Third Master, get me some water, I’m about to die of thirst."
The man hurriedly helped her pour a glass of lukewarm water, then assisted her to the edge of the bed, "Tell me what’s going on, why can’t you see? Did you bump into or hit something while you were out with Xiao Jinghuai today?"
Song Song just focused on drinking water, seemingly not too concerned about her eyes, "No, I just went out to watch a movie, ate something, nothing happened."
"Then how could this happen...?" Even though Lan Yuzhe was knowledgeable, he too was puzzled.
Song Song suddenly smiled, "Actually, this is kind of nice."
"You can still laugh at a time like this." Saying this, Lan Yuzhe reached out to feel her forehead, "You’ve really got some nerve."
"Actually, I think I’ve figured out what’s happening."
"Hmm?" Lan Yuzhe wasn’t clear for a moment, but seeing her expression, he suddenly thought of something, "You mean... the old monster?"
Song Song nodded, "When I left, I kept wondering why great-grandfather suddenly became so agreeable? After spending a long time with Xiao Jinghuai I felt that I didn’t care much about many things, gradually forgetting that great-grandfather was never such a kind person. If my guess is correct, it should be because of this thing on my face!"
"The National Master always belonged to great-grandfather; apart from this, I can’t think of any other possibilities."
Lan Yuzhe also felt it should be this; the old monster’s intentions were unpredictable, seeming to support her openly but secretly, wasn’t it just him controlling the entire Taohuawu?
He’s been in Taohuawu for so many years but has never seen the true face of the old monster, not only him but it seems neither has anyone else in Taohuawu.
"What are you planning to do then?" Lan Yuzhe frowned, "The old monster’s intentions are clear; this is the path he’s paved for you. If you don’t obediently go back, you might live in darkness, or perhaps... worse, all he wants is you to return."
Song Song lowered her eyes, "I know, but I... can’t bear to leave Xiao Jinghuai."
