Chapter 317: Chapter 316 Who Are You Exactly (16)
The hospital room grew increasingly quiet, as if they could hear each other’s faint breathing. She really hadn’t... ever been so quietly alone with Gu Ningyi.
Not even before, or during those three months.
This feeling was somewhat unsettling, and a bit strange.
It seemed that between them, it shouldn’t be so quiet.
Moreover, why did she vaguely feel an inexplicable illusion in her heart that this scene was somewhat familiar? As if... she’d seen it somewhere.
Dong Xin Yan subconsciously tried to think, but this time, before she could even start, a sharp pain surged through her head. Dong Xin Yan’s face turned pale, and she almost couldn’t resist crying out in pain.
Fortunately, at the last second, she covered her lips forcefully, emitting only a very slight sound.
Even so, with such a slight sound, she saw Gu Ningyi’s face seem to twitch slightly, as if he had heard it.
Indeed, with his blindness, his hearing would be extremely sensitive. Henceforth, she would have to be even more careful.

Dong Xin Yan originally thought, with Gu Ningyi’s kind of bad temper, this week wouldn’t be easy for her. But to her surprise, Gu Ningyi was very quiet and didn’t need her care at all.
Although he couldn’t see, he could still eat, wash, and do things by himself. Even when he got out of bed to go to the bathroom, he only moved a bit slowly but could accurately find his way in.
If she hadn’t known his eyes were truly blind, she would have thought he had no problem at all.
Time passed silently for three days. During these three days, Dong Xin Yan mostly ate and then slept, slept and then ate, staying quietly.
Though there were clearly two people in the ward, it seemed as if they were separated into two worlds.
This was the first time Dong Xin Yan saw another side of Gu Ningyi.
The once arrogant and extravagant young master was now sitting quietly in the ward, sitting there for a whole day. His previously always radiant face was now left with nothing but a dead silence, his entire being wrapped in a thick loneliness.
It was as if his eyes had lost their light, and his heart... had also lost its light.
These days, having nothing much to do, she would occasionally, unconsciously, gaze at Gu Ningyi, watching his solitude and melancholy. Strangely, something deep inside her seemed to be touched, inexplicably feeling heartache and discomfort.
She admitted that although she disliked Gu Ningyi, seeing his eyes become like this, she still felt some sympathy for him. But it was just sympathy, why did she feel heartache and discomfort?
She couldn’t understand it, nor did she dare to think, because these days, her head often felt sharp pain, so she didn’t dare to think deeply about anything.
She thought this week would pass peacefully, but she never expected...

It was night.
Dong Xin Yan was drifting in and out of sleep when she suddenly heard a rustling sound.
She unconsciously opened her bleary eyes and, under the dim yellow bedside lamp, saw Gu Ningyi lifting the quilt and getting out of bed, slowly walking toward the bathroom.
She wasn’t too concerned; after all, Gu Ningyi could walk there himself. Just as she was about to close her eyes again, unexpectedly, Gu Ningyi suddenly bumped into a chair with a loud crash.
Dong Xin Yan was startled by the noise, her eyes suddenly wide open, then she saw Gu Ningyi tumbling forward, his black pupils contracting sharply. Without thinking, Dong Xin Yan immediately rushed towards him.
