Tao Huainan chased after him and said "good night", Chi Cheng stood at the door and watched him for a long time, as if looking at him, as if pondering. Tao Huainan couldn't see his gaze, nor could he see his frowning brows.
This kind of silence and non-response time made the next half minute a bit difficult.
Tao Huainan tentatively asked, "...what's wrong?"
Chi Cheng was still staring at him, his eyes were heavy. At this moment, his eyes seemed to turn into tangible threads, passing through Tao Huainan's body.
"Good night." Chi Cheng finally replied to him.
Tao Huainan moved his fingers, loosened and clenched the hand holding the blind stick, cleared his throat, and said, "Then I'm going back... You should go to bed earlier."
Chi Cheng said "hmm".
Tao Huainan took a step forward, and left in a "dumb" manner under Chi Cheng's gaze. As he walked along the wall, his blind stick would often bump into the marble footing in the corner, and every time he knocked, there would be a crisp "bang".
There are still three days left in this trip, and after three days, those who came from will have to go back where they came from.
Chicheng's equipment had already been sent out before, and the company sent them a car in a hurry the day before yesterday. Of course, the company will not support it in vain. They have followed the filming throughout the Chi Cheng this time, and they will cut it into a short film for public welfare when they go back. This kind of positive public welfare support can best enhance the corporate image. With the assistance of the three institutes, this is more effective than any advertising. Entrepreneurs are the most skilled.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Chi Cheng and the others, they are not from the company, they are just students who just came to send out equipment. This was also agreed in Chicheng's contract at the time. If the product was developed, he would ask for 5,000 product quotas for charity distribution every year. Because of this additional condition, the original selling price was lowered a lot. The college later mentioned that this part of the expenses would be borne by the college, and wanted to name the public welfare project as the college, but Chi Cheng refused.
It’s okay to name the academy, but Chicheng didn’t take the fee, because he didn’t want to turn this into an academy project. All the things he does, all the cooperation with technology companies have such additional conditions, and they are all for my brother.
At the very beginning, Fan Guo asked him why he did this. The products for blind people earn less than they can do in other directions, and they are worthless. And Chi Cheng not only does this, but also does public welfare. Fan Guo asked him why, where did he come from such a high level of awareness.
At that time, Chi Cheng replied indifferently: "No reason, my brother has been doing this for more than ten years."
The person who followed him took many close-ups of Tao Huainan, and asked him some questions about him and Chi Cheng. Tao Huainan smiled and waved his hands away, not letting them make fuss about Chi Cheng. The touching setting of the blind brother and Xueba brother is really embarrassing.
Chi Cheng was even worse, he didn't allow him to ask questions, and he didn't reply when he was working.
Later, the eldest brother who was filming gave up and said to Tao Huainan, "Your brother has too much character."
Tao Huainan nodded: "Then don't ask him, you can ask that handsome guy, Fan Guo, he loves to talk."
Fan Guo shouted not far away: "What are you asking? Come and ask me! I know everything!"
Tao Huainan said with a smile, "Look how enthusiastic this is, ask him."
Tao Huainan's visit this time is not useless, he has a master's degree in psychology after all, let alone a blind man. Those young people who just got sick and lost their eyesight or are about to lose their eyesight, seeing Tao Huainan so peaceful, optimistic and calm, couldn't help but feel that maybe he was not so desperate.
If they wanted to talk, Tao Huainan would chat with them.
For normal people, losing sight is like the end of the world is coming. Everything is going to change now. They asked Tao Huainan: "How did you get into university? You can still go to graduate school? Will you become a doctor in the future?"
Tao Huainan would objectively tell them about the inconveniences in life, but most of the time it was nothing, not that scary.
There was a fifteen-year-old girl who completely lost her vision in her right eye due to trauma, and her left eye still had a strong sense of light. It's been almost a year since I had eye surgery.
The family members shed tears every day. They didn't know how to take care of her, and they were afraid that she wouldn't be able to survive. This time I forced her to be brought out to the experts to have a look at her eyes, hoping for a turnaround as if praying for a miracle.
There must be no turning point. In the future, if the eyeball shrinks, it may need to be enucleated. The girl was numbly being held by her father, with nothing but numbness on her face.
Girls are father's little princesses, and the young father's heart has been ground to pieces this year.
Tao Xiaodong said, "You can let her talk to my brother."
Tao Huainan chatted with the little girl for a long time that day, among the acquired blind people, there are very few people who went blind earlier than Tao Huainan.
The little girl was in the car with him, in the back, and they were just the two of them in the car. Tao Huainan said, "It's lonely, isn't it?"
The girl still didn't speak at first, Tao Huainan told her: "I couldn't see since I was four years old. I was really scared when I was a child. Children are afraid of the dark."
People of the same kind always communicate better, and only they know each other's true feelings. Human psychology is very strange, and meeting the same kind will feel more comforting than any language.
Both of them stared blankly at each other. Tao Huainan said: "We have lost one of the five senses, and we can no longer see beauty and ugliness. It's a pity."
The girl pursed her lips and tensed her jaw, but she didn't resist listening to him.
"But there are still four of us left, who can still hear and rely on other feelings, which is very happy." Tao Huainan said to her, "I have seen blind and deaf people a few times, they can't see, they can't hear, Information is received and expressed through gesture and touch."
Tao Huainan told her some stories about the blind and deaf. The girl was shocked and opened her mouth slightly.
Her long hair hung down her back, she was wearing an old dress, and her skin was fair and beautiful. Tao Huainan is also very beautiful. Two beautiful children sit and chat together, but they can't see each other.
"So we can't see it, and it's not that scary, right?" Tao Huainan smiled, "Not seeing it doesn't take away all our happiness, we still have a lot."
The girl said, "I don't feel happy, I feel like the sky is falling."
"It will happen like this, everything is terrible." Tao Huainan did not refute her words, and continued after admitting, "It will be a very difficult time, and I feel that I can't bear it."
"I really can't go on anymore, I don't want to wake up every day, I don't want to live." The girl said with red eyes.
"It will pass," Tao Huainan stroked her hair and said softly, "You don't know how strong we are, we are all very powerful, although it will be harder than others."
"I really don't want to live. I'm afraid to go out. I'm afraid that people will see me. I'm afraid that people will say that I'm blind, or that people will say that I'm poor. I'm too tired to live, brother." The girl wiped her eyes. There is still a scar on the bridge of the nose that has not been repaired, which was left along with the trauma at that time.
Tao Huainan said: "I know, I know you are very tired. But you can't bear to leave your parents, right?"
As soon as he said "Mom and Dad", the little girl broke down a bit. She bent down, buried her face, and cried, "I don't want to hurt them. I'm not brave enough myself. I don't have the courage to die. I'm still afraid. .”
"It's not brave to leave, it's now." Tao Huainan said to her, "If you don't want them, just love them. Your father loves you very much."
Even though the girl cried like that, she still said: "I love him and my mother too."
"I love my brothers too," Tao Huainan smiled, turning his head to the outside of the car window, "So we are really lucky, we are all favored children, right?"
The girl cried on her lap for a long time that day, and her father watched worriedly through the window outside the car.
Later she touched Tao Huainan's face, and Tao Huainan let her touch it, and asked her, "Can you imagine what it would be like?"
The girl said: "It's vague, probably the eyes are very big."
Tao Huainan laughed and said, "The eyes are very big."
The girl asked him again: "Do you want to 'see' what I look like? But my face should be dirty."
Tao Huainan said, "No, I know you are beautiful."
"What's so beautiful about being blind?" said the girl.
"If we are blind, don't others still see it?" Tao Huainan said, "When they think about it, blind people will look better than them, and wow, they will feel cold."
The girl let out a "puchi" laugh, wiped away the tears on her face, and asked him, "Are you married?"
Tao Huainan thought for a while and said, "Let me tell you a secret, help me protect it."
The two of them leaned their heads together, Tao Huainan said something, the girl's expression gradually became surprised, and finally she covered her mouth in surprise.
Her father stood outside the car, looked at the vivid expression on her face that he hadn't seen for a long time, and turned around in silence.
"Then you... will you tell others? Are you going to tell him?" the girl asked holding her breath.
"He knows." Tao Huainan said, "Help me keep the secret for a year, don't tell anyone, I will send you a gift by this time next year."
"Are you afraid that I won't be able to persist?" the girl said.
"Of course you can," Tao Huainan smiled, "The most difficult time is over, the next thing to do is to defeat the darkness. The more you are afraid of the darkness, the stronger it will be, and if you don't care about it, no one will be able to swallow you. "
That day the girl got out of the car and hugged her father.
Then she was taken by her father and took the initiative to go to Chi Cheng and the others to ask for a navigation. When Fan Guo gave her earphones and taught her to use them, she asked, "Which one is the little brother?"
Fan Guo asked, "What little brother?"
"It's my little brother..." The girl didn't know what to say, she pointed outside, before she could finish her words, Chi Cheng took the earphones from Fan Guo, and leaned over to put them on for her.
"Are you my little brother?" the girl looked up and asked.
Chi Cheng said "um" and told her how to use it.
The girl listened carefully and said "thank you". Before she left, she used her father's mobile phone to add WeChat to Tao Huainan, and whispered to him, "Your little brother has a really nice voice."
Tao Huainan said, "Of course."
The matter of this girl took up Tao Huainan's entire afternoon, and it was almost dark when the young father took the little girl away. Tao Xiaodong put his arms around Tao Huainan's shoulders, and said, "We are treating you as Doctor Tao."
"Be more precise, I'm not a doctor yet." Tao Huainan leaned his head on his shoulder.
It was still sunny at first, but it gradually became cloudy in the afternoon, and after dark, it suddenly started to rain. The unsuspecting rainstorm hit Tao Huainan completely.
He had had dinner and was walking slowly outside by himself. He was still wearing earphones, which contained the song that Jiang Ji had just posted in the group.
Tao Huainan sent a like emoji in the past.
The rain fell violently, without giving him any time to react, and Tao Huainan couldn't even pick up his phone properly.
"Oh my god, it's okay for normal people to walk and play with their mobile phones," Fan Guo's voice rang out noisily from behind, "You are blind and you still use your mobile phone?"
Fan Guo, who has no EQ, finally tacted for a while, and didn't say it directly. In fact, what he wants to ask is: holding a blind stick and leaving one hand free, can't you stop playing with your mobile phone? What an addiction
Tao Huainan heard the footsteps of two people behind him, but the other one was not Chi Cheng. He put his cell phone away, took off his earphones, and took the initiative to say hello.
"Run, can you run?" Fan Guo asked.
"I'm fine, you two go quickly." Tao Huainan said.
Guo Yiming took off his outer shirt and let Tao Huainan cover it himself, but Tao Huainan didn't push it away, thanked him, and asked, "Why isn't my little brother with you?"
Guo Yiming said: "Brother Chi broke his hand, he was messing with it in the hospital, and he will be back later."
"What happened to him?" Tao Huainan immediately asked, "What happened to his hand?"
"When I moved something and smashed it, the nail was broken again." Fan Guo said, "There is a lot of blood."
"It's not that serious," Guo Yiming said, "he can't talk."
Tao Huainan had already turned his head towards the direction of the hospital, and waved to them before walking.
However, before he was halfway there, he was stopped by his elder brother, who happened to see him halfway with Chi Cheng in the car.
Tao Huainan was soaked with water all over his body. As soon as he got into the car, he asked Chi Cheng: "What happened to your hand, little brother?"
Chi Cheng said "nothing".
Tao Huainan seemed to want to touch it, but he didn't dare.
"I was bumped by others when I was moving something, and it was a little swollen." Tao Xiaodong said.
"Is it serious?" Tao Huainan frowned, but in the end he couldn't hold back, rubbed his hands on the car seat, wiped off the water on his hands, tentatively reached out, and touched Chi Cheng's wrist.
His fingers were cold, Chi Cheng didn't hide from him, and put his hands on his legs without moving.
Tao Huainan bumped his fingers up again, but he didn't dare to use force, because he didn't know where he was hurt.
Tao Huainan stopped when he came across a piece of gauze, took his hand back, and asked, "Did you take a picture? Did you hurt your bone?"
"I didn't hurt my bones, I stretched my muscles a bit." Tao Xiaodong answered him.
Tao Huainan nodded, sat on the side dripping wet, and didn't ask any more questions.
Outside, raindrops hit the roof of the car, crackling.
Tao Huainan turned his head towards Chi Cheng's hand from time to time, trying to see his hand, but it was impossible to see it.
Tao Xiaodong handed him a piece of paper and asked him to wipe it off. Tao Huainan poured it all over, but he didn't care about it.
Chi Cheng turned off the air conditioner in the rear, Tao Huainan heard him move, and said, "What's wrong? I'll help you."
Chi Cheng looked at him, Tao Huainan asked again: "Can you move your hands, little brother?"
"Yes." Chi Cheng replied, "It's fine."
"If it's inconvenient for you, I can help you," Tao Huainan said to him, "You can call me."
Tao Xiaodong looked back at the two of them, didn't speak, and turned back again.
After Tao Huainan finished speaking, he felt that it might be a bit inappropriate. Now Chi Cheng can't use him, and it may be easier to call Fan Guo than him.
"Yeah." Chi Cheng didn't refuse, and even added, "It doesn't matter."
Tao Huainan was a little surprised, but he didn't show it. He shook the blind stick beside his leg.
After returning to the hotel, Tao Huainan went back to his room to take a shower, changed his clothes, and knocked on Chi Cheng's door.
My brother is here too, the door was opened by my brother.
Brother is tying plastic bags to Chi Cheng's hands to prevent them from getting wet in the shower. Tao Xiaodong didn't let him take a bath, but in the summer, if he didn't take a bath, he wouldn't let him sleep.
Tao Xiaodong always felt that the tie was not tight after finishing, and he was afraid that water would leak through the seams.
"If you want me to tell you, don't wash it, otherwise I can wash it for you." Tao Xiaodong untied the plastic bag tied up just now, and said, "I'll buy a plastic wrap outside, plastic bags are not good."
"You can forget about it soon, brother, it won't happen." Chi Cheng made him laugh, "You can do whatever you want."
"You got infected again. Brother Tang said don't get in the water. It's too bad if you get infected later." Tao Xiaodong sat next to him, "Hold your hand up, and I'll shower you with the shower later, or It's so easy. Are you still ashamed?"
Chi Cheng couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm twenty-five, brother, will you give me a bath?"
"I didn't wash it lightly when you were a child. I think you forgot how many layers of mud you washed off the first time you came home." Tao Xiaodong said.
"I..." Tao Huainan had been standing behind him all the time, but now he spoke weakly and interjected, "I'll help you wash... okay? I can't see."
Both Tao Xiaodong and Chi Cheng looked at him.
The phone rang in his pocket, Tao Xiaodong threw away the plastic bag, stood up and said, "I'll go back to the room to answer the phone."
