Chapter 335: Chapter 334 Slowly Reviving Memories (4)
In recent days, Gu Ningyi’s eyes have been gradually recovering. Initially, he could only see a few blurry lights, but slowly, the light became clearer, his gaze gained focus, his field of vision expanded, and finally, today, he opened his eyes.
The bright, brilliant sunlight streamed in from outside the window, illuminating the entire room with brightness. His eyes, unused to the light after a long period of darkness, squinted slightly.
After a few minutes, his brows relaxed, and his dark pupils slowly moved, taking in everything around him, until finally, they fixed on the windowsill.
Through the window, the azure sky stretched endlessly, the blue sky and white clouds bathed in warm sunlight, as if they were the most beautiful scenery in the world.
His lips slowly curved upward, an endless gentleness pouring from the depths of his eyes. Only those who have experienced darkness understand how precious the light is. The door of the hospital room was gently pushed open, and footsteps came from behind him. Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, then gradually, he turned his face.
The person stepped toward him in the room filled with brilliant light. He looked at her, and the figure in his dark eyes slowly came into focus.
Her features were exquisite, her skin fair and rosy, her figure slender and beautiful. She was someone he was familiar with, but... not the person he was thinking of in his heart.
Zhou Yalin approached with breakfast, seeing Gu Ningyi already up. She placed the tray on the bedside table, then went over to raise the small table on the bed, setting the breakfast on it one by one. She then reached out and gently tapped the table, signaling that Gu Ningyi could have his breakfast.
Gu Ningyi did not move, his dark eyes steadily fixed on her, his gaze deep and profound, as if pondering something.
Zhou Yalin waited a while but did not see Gu Ningyi make a move. Thinking he hadn’t reacted, she was about to tap the table again to remind him, but as she raised her hand, she suddenly thought of something, her eyes shifted, and a hint of redness appeared on her cheeks. She pursed her lips, and that hand slowly reached for Gu Ningyi’s hand.
Ever since the day he unexpectedly held her hand, he had hardly paid her any attention, yet that brief skin contact made her heart itch.
Before, she could go ten days to half a month without seeing Gu Ningyi. But now, she could stay by his side every day, watching him, her heart swelling with emotions.
So even though she had never served anyone her entire life, this time she willingly stayed back to act as a silent nurse.
However, just watching without touching was truly torturous for her. She had deeply loved Gu Ningyi for so long, her inner longing suppressed for too long, so she could hardly control her desire to hold his hand.
Just as she was about to hold Gu Ningyi’s hand, his hand moved, directly avoiding hers, leaving Zhou Yalin’s hand empty. She paused for a moment, unconsciously raising her gaze.
Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes met her slightly confused gaze, his thin lips pressed together as he spoke, word by word, "This past week or so, the person who stayed here with me, was that you?"
His voice, with its usual clear coldness and depth, was even lower at this moment, but each word was clear, as if each carried a sharp breath, directly pressing toward her.
Zhou Yalin’s black pupils contracted suddenly, and she couldn’t help but swallow.
Gu Ningyi... has his eyesight recovered? Can he see now?
She never expected his eyesight to recover so quickly. A surge of ecstasy rushed to her heart, yet before she could revel in it for a few seconds, her heart suddenly became apprehensive.
