Under the thick night sky, Gu Yannan was sitting in the doctor's office waiting impatiently.
This short quarter of an hour felt as long as a century.
Gu Ming City was also very nervous, but he couldn't show it on the surface. The sweat on his palms betrayed his feelings.
"Ye Nan, don't be nervous. The doctor said that the operation was very successful. When you remove the gauze, you will definitely be able to see the colourful world." Gu Mingcheng pressed his palm against Gu Yannan's shoulder and whispered into Gu Yannan's ear.
"Yes." Gu Yannan only let out a low grunt as his ears pricked up. He could hear the sound of footsteps slowly approaching from far away and his heart was starting to beat wildly in his chest.
"Gu, you're on time!" The doctor smiled as he placed a small mirror on the table. He pulled up his sleeves and washed his hands twice by the sink.
With that, the doctor walked in front of Gu Yannan and removed layers of gauze from the back of his head.
Gu Ye sat there expressionlessly and nervously. He slowly opened his eyes, and the brighter and brighter light shone through the less and less of the gauze covering him.
When the last layer of gauze was completely removed, Gu Yannan subconsciously used his hand to cover his eyes. A glaring light entered his eyes, making him extremely uncomfortable.
The doctor first raised the mirror in front of Gu Yannan and said, "Your eyes are even brighter and more enchanting than before the operation."
Following that, he took out a colourful picture book from the drawer and pointed at the first page's ten or so colors. He let Gu Yenan point them out one by one and he answered them accurately.
Even Gu Ming City, who was standing at the side, felt his eyes ache from the excitement. Tears welled up in his eyes, "Doctor, thank you so much." My brother's eyes are completely healed. "
"Don't be happy too early." Although the operation was a success, the postoperative care cannot be ignored. He still needs to wear gauze for half a month to gradually adapt his eyes to the external world's sensitivity and to prevent infection. "
Gu Yannan stared at the doctor with his deep eyes and asked without thinking, "When can I leave the United States by plane?"
"Take a plane! "Oh, NO!" The doctor shouted, "Before your eyes have recovered from the surgery, you can't experience any strong vibrations. You can't even exercise locally. How can you fly!"
Gu Ming City quickly explained to the doctor, "My little brother wanted to leave this place as soon as possible because he had something urgent to do, so he asked this question. I'll look after him and let him stay in the United States."
"Be careful, he can leave the hospital tomorrow."
With that said, the doctor gave Gu Yannan a fresh set of gauze and told him to return to the ward to rest.
That night, Gu Yannan tossed and turned in his bed for a long time without falling asleep. His mind was filled with the scenes of when he and Ren Jiaya had fallen off the cliff.
Her eyes were filled with despair and her voice was sharp. If she had really lost her life beneath the cliff, he would never forgive himself in his life.
"Bro, can you give Cheng Jian a call?" Gu Yannan sat up on the bed as if possessed and reached for his phone.
Gu Ming City knew that he had something on his mind ever since he came to America, so he could only follow his wishes. He dialed Cheng Jian's number and handed the phone over.
When Cheng Jian saw Gu Yannan's number, he felt uneasy and hurriedly asked into his phone, "CEO, are your eyes ready?"
"Yes." Gu Yannan's low voice came from the phone, instantly calming Cheng Jian's heart.
"Did you find him?" Gu Yannan's voice trembled as his heart felt like it was being lifted up to his throat. He was afraid that Cheng Jian would say that he had found a corpse.
"Not yet." Cheng Jian shook his head in disappointment. "I will send more people to find Miss Ren."
"Yes." Gu Yannan hung up the phone. His heart felt even heavier as he handed the phone to Gu Ming City.
Gu Ming City did not directly receive the phone. Instead, he looked at Gu Yannan's trembling hand holding the phone and could not help but ask, "Just who are you looking for?"
"None of your business." Gu Yannan frowned slightly and lay down.
"Ye Nan, you should know that you are shouldering the entire Cheng'an's hope. From the day you agreed to grandma's full authority over Cheng'an, you are no longer Gu Yannan, but the head of the Gu family. So right now, it's best for you to not think of anything else. Gu Ming City stared worriedly at Gu Yannan.
Gu Yannan never had any weakness, but ever since he came to the United States, what he had been thinking about was not Cheng'an's stock price or the company's affairs, but rather a stranger.
"Just what kind of person made you care so much?"
"Someone very important to me!"
"More important than Cheng'an?"
Gu Yannan did not hesitate to turn around. He forcefully opened his eyes and answered with a firm voice, "It's even more important than Cheng'an!"
He was willing to trade his life for hers, how could he say that Cheng'an was not as important as he was?!
"Alright, even if we have to look for someone, we have to first fix our eyes and look around the world with widened eyes, isn't that so?" Gu Ming City couldn't do anything about this thoughtful little brother of his, and couldn't help but ridicule him.
"You're right. From today onwards, I will listen to the doctor. "
"That's more like it."
The next day at noon, while she was sitting on the balcony basking in the sun, she heard the door open.
She turned her head to look and saw Gu Yannan, supported by Gu Ming City, slowly walking into the room.
Gu Yannan's eyes were still covered by a layer of gauze, but it could not hide his noble temperament.
Gu Ming City saw that Lin Xiaohe was staring at Gu Yannan, so he waved to her, signaling her to come over and support his body.
Without even thinking about it, Ren Ji Ya walked quickly from the balcony to Gu Yannan's side.
In just a dozen steps, her heart was pounding like a drum.
She looked at him and instinctively put her hand in his and held him firmly.
The woman's petite palm was soft and soft. Unprepared, Gu Yannan grasped his hand.
Gu Yannan turned his head, trying to figure out something from the familiar smell and touch, but after a while, he heard Ren Jiya's voice and shook his head, following her lead and sitting on the sofa.
"Ye Nan, call her Little He." Gu Ming City quickly introduced the two of them, then said to Lin Xiaohe, "Call him Director Gu."
"I want to drink some water." Gu Yannan coughed dryly a few times before clearing his throat and letting go of Lin Xiaohe's hand.
"Oh, oh. I'll go get it for you right now." Ren Jiya hurriedly stood up and helped Gu Yannan get a cup of warm water from the table.
She sat down next to Gu Yenan. He reached out his hand to grab the cup, nearly grabbing hold of Ren ZIya's hand.
Embarrassed, she withdrew her finger. When she saw that Gu Yannan was about to reach into the cup to drink water, she hurriedly reached out her hand to block him and screamed, "Be careful! Stammering! "
She put her mouth close to the cup and blew a few times. Only then was she completely at ease and handed the cup to Gu Yenan.
Although Gu Yenan couldn't see anything, he could feel Lin Xiaohe's meticulous care.
Gu Yannan gently took a sip before nodding his head. "Thank you."
