"Your eyesight seems to be severely impaired." Zhu Jiangci noticed that she was almost completely blind after leaving his glasses, and could not see anything clearly.

His vision had been severely damaged, so why would his eyes have any problems?

"Yes, I used to stay up late at night when I was studying. Maybe my eyes were tired and my vision was failing." She lowered her head to eat the food, and heard Zhu Jiangci's words. Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was good, but she forgot that the two of them were always at odds with each other, so she immediately replied, "Mn, in the past, when I was studying, I often stayed up late at night to warm my books. It was because my eyes were at a bad point of time, and my eyesight was constantly failing."

After she finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong and tightened her grip on the chopsticks.

Zhu Jiangci's voice was very low, and it revealed a bit carelessly, "Staying up late to get warm? "It seems like you are still very serious when you go to school."

She dryly pulled at the corner of her lips. How could she not be serious? Not everyone was as smart as him. Since she was young, her physics was the worst, and when she first rose up, she was almost tortured to death by it.

It was a good thing that Zhu Jiangci had attended a key high school and not a exclusive upper-class school. Otherwise, she would not even be able to enter the threshold.

In retrospect, what she missed most were those countless days and nights of longing, with her sketching of the future, and the distant stars in her mind that she wanted to pursue.

Even if it was a long journey, she believed that one day, after trekking through mountains and rivers, she would definitely arrive at his side.

The older one was, the longer it would take.

She had been imprisoned for three years in this cage that used the name of marriage, and those charming and romantic thoughts had been thoroughly dispelled.

Perhaps … Some people could only watch from afar. Once they approached, they would be beyond redemption.

Su Qiao An thought for a while, then looked up at her with his dark eyes. "Su Qiao An?"

"Huh?" Su Qiao An was slower by a few beats, and the perplexity in his eyes did not dissipate.

The words on the tip of his tongue turned, his thin lips parted, and he said, "Eat."

He had never heard of her past from Su Qiao An's mouth before.

In that instant, Zhu Jiangci was suddenly very curious about her past.

Compared to a normal family's girl, Su Qiao An's life in the past seemed to be really short of money. His place was rundown and backward, but it was filled with warmth.

Although he knew that this was a curiosity he shouldn't have, he couldn't seem to control it.

During the meal, there was only the crisp sound of the chopsticks lightly touching the plates. The long and faint sounds of breathing constantly intertwined. It was very quiet, and also very peaceful.

After the meal, Zhu Jiangci had originally wanted to hug her, but she rejected it. Greed would only end in misery, she was greedy for Zhu Jiangci's rare gentleness and consideration, but she was clear that it was intestinal poison, and did not dare to drink it all in one go.

She was a bit stubborn. This kind of stubbornness could only be described as self-reliance, it was not suitable to be called stubborn, it was unyielding.

Without his glasses, Su Qiao An could only touch the wall and walk forward, and almost bumped into Zhu Qing who was inside the shop. Zhu Jiangci pulled her, and frowned: "If you can't see, then don't try to force yourself, and at the same time cause trouble for others."

"..." After being reprimanded for a while, Su Qiao An was speechless, she just stood there, stiff and unmoving.

Zhu Jiangci knew what she was thinking and he didn't force himself to hug her. He only held her hand and pulled her along as they walked forward.

Her steps slowly slowed down, and it wasn't that strenuous for her to follow him. Su Qiao An secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Jiang Ci?" A soft, feminine voice came from the side.

Su Qiao An looked towards the direction of the voice, only to see that the illusions and shadows were numerous.

Zhu Jiangci looked at him and asked expressionlessly, "Is there something you need?"

The other party was stunned for a moment. Then, an awkward smile appeared on his face, "You don't remember me?"

He did not speak, and his expression was cold. Seeing Zhu Jiangci's attitude, he knew what he was trying to say.

The other party laughed and said, "Cheng Ya, you graduated from the same batch as yourself, and you are both an alumnus and an administrative officer of the student union."

Cheng Ya? Su Qiao An was a little confused.

Back then, when Tang Cheng painstakingly chased after Cheng Ya, he did not manage to get a good ending, because all of Cheng Ya's thoughts were on Zhu Jiangci. After that, she was even treated as a public enemy of the entire school because of the few times he had interacted with Zhu Jiangci.

If the misunderstanding was not cleared up later on, Su Qiao An thought that they would still want to force him to quit school.

Cheng Ya's gaze moved from Zhu Jiangci's body to Su Qiao An's. She seemed to be deep in thought as she focused on Su Qiao An, "Looks like junior sister is really strong. Why didn't you tell the truth when we first asked her?"

The truth? What truth?

At that time, the two of them were not related to each other in the first place. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhu Jiangci needed her kidney transplant, she wouldn't even have had anything to do with Zhu Jiangci.

Su Qiao An could hear the disdain and mockery in Cheng Ya's words, and she laughed unconcernedly: "Senior Cheng is such a smart person, I don't think there is anything that you can hide from Senior Cheng."

Hearing that, Zhu Jiangci could not help but look at Su Qiao An twice, and saw her cold face, like a hedgehog bristling with thorns, he immediately understood the conflict between the two of them.

Cheng Ya smiled, "No matter how smart a person is, he would be easily deceived by those people with malicious intents. Moreover, there are some people who pretend to be innocent, even if I have the Seven Apertures Mystical Insight, I would not be able to see through those people's intentions."

"Yes, a man's heart is far away, and that face is the most untrustworthy. Some people are even more beautiful and vicious than a snake or a scorpion, pretending to be a Virgin. In private, they are still burning their innocent people." Su Qiao An was not to be outdone, she choked on Cheng Ya, and took the initiative to hold Zhu Jiangci's arm for the first time. He pretended to be intimate and asked, "I want to go back and rest, can we go now? There are flies buzzing around here, and I feel very annoyed. "

She didn't count in her heart, afraid that Zhu Jiangci would shake off her hand.

After being carried by the other party's hand, she finally remembered that Zhu Jiangci disliked it when women took the initiative to touch him the most, especially herself.

Zhu Jiangci did not say anything for a long time. Su Qiao An's heart continued to sink, and eventually fell to the bottom of the valley.

The hand that was tightly grabbing onto his arm loosened its grip, and its chest felt stuffy. It couldn't even swallow or exhale.

What was she expecting? Did he really think that Zhu Jiangci would be able to cooperate with him in this show just by being slightly amiable?

She should be the type of person who talks about getting ahead of herself. Even though she repeatedly warned herself that she should grasp the measure of success, it was still easy for her to put it to the back of her mind.

Seeing that, Cheng Ya smiled and looked at Su Yun with disdain.
