Yao Ting didn't fall asleep until six o'clock in the morning because she had been working on the manuscript all night. So when Yao Yiyi woke up, she didn't dare to call Yao Ting who was sleeping next to her. She got out of bed quietly and took the paper The pathfinder stick next to the bed cabinet is specially made for blind people who cannot see the road.
Yao Yiyi entered the bathroom with the help of a stick, and carefully reached the sink with the stick. After a lot of effort, she got the toothbrush and simply brushed her teeth and washed her face.
After finishing tidying up in the bathroom, Yao Yiyi came out and called Yao Ting's name in a low voice. Seeing that no one answered her, she groped to the door, opened it, and left the guest room.
She originally wanted to go to the baby room to see An An and Xu Chen, who was taking care of him, but she was afraid of disturbing the two people who were still awake, so she had to turn and go downstairs.
She carefully went downstairs with a long stick, but when she stepped on the next step, she missed the step and fell straight down the stairs.
The servants who were busy downstairs were shocked when they saw such a big living person like Yao Yiyi falling down from the stairs, and they gathered around. Lan Bo, who was busy pruning branches and leaves outside, was also informed by the servants that he was in a hurry. Ran in.
"Ouch, what's going on? Did you fall?" Lan Bo hurried to Yao Yiyi, who had been helped up by a servant and was sitting on a chair, and asked nervously.
Yao Yiyi was lucky this time. Although she fell from the stairs, except for some scratches on her arms, she was not seriously injured.
Yao Yiyi was still a little shocked, but she still smiled and comforted her: "Lan Bo, I'm fine, don't worry, and don't tell Tingting about my fall, so as not to worry her."
After getting along with her for two months, Lan Bo also saw that Yao Yiyi was a very kind-hearted woman, which did not match her beautiful appearance at all. Even if she suffered a misfortune and became blind, she did not show too much pride. She is sad and self-pitying, but she has always lived strong and is a rare good woman.
"Don't worry, I won't tell her, but is it really okay if you fall like this? How about I call the doctor to come and take a look at you?" Lamb said still worried.
Yao Yiyi shook her head and said, "Uncle Lamb, I'm really fine, so don't bother the doctor to come all the way here." Since becoming blind, Yao Yiyi has tried her best not to trouble others in everything she does. Try to make big things as small as possible, and try to make small things as nothing as possible. She has too much self-esteem and cannot tolerate the fact that she is already blind and is even more useless in front of others.
Yao Yiyi's bruised arm actually hurt. She thought there should be bleeding, but fortunately she was wearing a long-sleeved skirt so no one could see it.
"Are you really okay? If you fell somewhere, you have to tell me. Before the young master left, he told me to take good care of you. He also said that a well-equipped small clinic should be built in the villa to prepare for emergencies. "Lamber said.
Yao Yiyi shook her head and said: "Lambert, there is really no need for me, otherwise I will feel guilty, I..."
Lan Bo smiled and said: "Yiyi, don't feel guilty. It has been planned for a long time to set up a well-equipped clinic in the villa. This villa is big and has many servants. It is far from the city. The servants in the villa have a It is quite inconvenient to go to the hospital for medical treatment. It is better to build one here and hire five or six doctors with good medical skills to take charge. I have mentioned this to the young master before, but your situation requires that the clinic be built in advance. Speaking of which, the servants in the villa also got rich because of you."
Yao Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Lan, say thank you to Haoran for me."
Lan Bo smiled and said: "Okay, I will definitely tell the young master. Let's have breakfast now. Do you need me to ask someone to wake up the other two?"
Yao Yiyi shook her head and said: "No, Tingting spent the whole night working on the manuscript yesterday and went to bed early in the morning. Xu Chen also came back at one or two o'clock last night. They are also tired. They will wake up naturally after sleeping. For breakfast.”
"Okay, I'll ask the servant to bring you breakfast." Lan Bo asked the servant to bring breakfast. After thinking about it, he said to Yao Yiyi: "Yiyi, I think I'm still afraid of having a servant to take care of you personally. Okay, you have difficulty moving now. It is easy for accidents to happen when you go in and out alone. Just like falling down the stairs today, it is really dangerous. Do you want to consider accepting my opinion? I am doing it for your own good. .”
Yao Yiyi's smile froze.
"Yiyi, I don't want to force you, but out of consideration for your safety, I think if you arrange someone to take care of you, Yao Ting can write the manuscript better, and Xu Chen can also take care of An An without any distractions. Let's go on a mission, what do you think?" Lan Bo said with emotion and reason.
Yao Yiyi was silent.
"Yiyi, don't blame me for being old and not being particularly nice when speaking. I think the young master and Yao Ting just confirmed their relationship not long ago. It was the time when you and I were dating each other. The two of them didn't have much time to be together apart from each other. , If Yao Ting spends most of her time with you, it would be quite pitiful for the young master to look at you helplessly." Lan Bo thought for a moment and said.
Yao Yiyi was stunned. After all, her blindness was still disliked by others.
She lowered her eyes and said respectfully: "Lambert, I leave everything to you."
Lan Bo couldn't bear to see her like this, but when he thought of the envy in his young master's eyes when he saw Yao Ting being devoted to Yao Yiyi, he had to harden his heart.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements soon. I will definitely find someone who is honest and reliable to take care of you. You can have breakfast first. I still have some flowers and plants outside that have not been trimmed." Lambert asked someone to bring breakfast to him. , put the chopsticks into Yao Yiyi's hand again, and said: "Yiyi, do you need me to arrange for a servant to serve you breakfast?"
Yao Yiyi's hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment, then said: "Uncle Lan, no need, you go and do your work, I can do it alone."
Lambo said: "Okay, I'll go outside and clear the grass first. If you have anything, just call the servant."
Yao Yiyi nodded.
After Lan Bo left, Yao Yiyi smelled the aroma of the meat porridge that hit her nostrils. She suddenly lost her appetite and felt like a big wave was rolling in her heart, with very mixed flavors.
She ate a few bites of breakfast and then stopped eating. She reached for the long stick leaning on another chair and tentatively wanted to go out. When a servant saw that she seemed to be going out, she immediately ran over. , said nervously: "Miss Yiyi, are you going out? I'll help you out, but don't fall."
Yao Yiyi couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, but when she thought about her situation, her repeated rejections felt like an escape from reality.
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you." Even though she was repulsed in her heart by others treating her as a blind person with limited mobility, Yao Yiyi still couldn't bear to reject other people's overtures to her.
The maid held her arm and carefully helped her outside. As she walked, she said: "Miss Yiyi, I see that you can't see both eyes. You should stay in the house well. If you need anything, call the maid." That's fine. It's very dangerous for you to walk around alone. It's like falling down the stairs just now and frightening everyone. If you have any shortcomings, we servants will "You who are fired, please don't mess with us willfully. I'm begging you. We are actually quite frightened every time we see you alone, just because we are afraid that you will bump into us and get us involved."
The faint smile on Yao Yiyi's face disappeared little by little.
The maid glanced at her carefully and said: "Miss Yiyi, don't blame me for speaking harshly. We servants are all working for others. Working in the villa not only provides high wages but also benefits. We all cherish it very much. You are the young master's friend, and the young master values you very much. He also told us not to let you get hurt, otherwise we will all have to pack up and leave. As for the fall you just made, if Lambert told the young master about it, Look, we don't want this job anymore, so you better do your best and take care of yourself before we get too scared, really."
As Yao Yiyi listened, she felt that every word was like a knife piercing her heart. Everyone wanted to play the role of a righteous savior, and then reminded her that she was actually blind, and they wanted to slow her down. The slowly scabbing wound was opened again, and then a handful of salt was sprinkled on it, causing her pain again.
"I'll pay attention." Yao Yiyi said with a cold expression, a little distant.
The servant looked at Yao Yiyi, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Miss Yiyi, are you angry?"
Yao Yiyi shook her head and said, "No, I just want to be alone for a while. Can you leave first?"
"...Okay, then I'll go in first. Can you really do it alone?" The maid was still worried: "You can't see now. If you walk around, people will worry about you. Otherwise, it's me. Can I accompany you for a walk? If you have any bad intentions, we servants will not be much better."
The more uncomfortable Yao Yiyi's heart became, the harder her outer shell became.
"I'll try my best to pay attention. Can you leave first? I want to enjoy the air alone."
The maid obviously felt that Yao Yiyi's attitude had become colder, and she was no longer so noisy. She said with a somewhat bitter look on her face: "Miss Yiyi, I will go in first, but I hope I won't say that you are blind." Tell the young master, otherwise my job will be in jeopardy."
Yao Yiyi's face stiffened, and her fists slowly clenched.
"You go in, I won't tell your young master."
The maid entered the room excitedly, but Yao Yiyi, who stayed there, was no longer interested in blowing air. She opened her empty eyes, and kept thinking about what the maid had just said in her mind, even if she had already lost two eyes. Months later, she still can't get used to the fact that she is blind, so she wants to escape again and again, but there are people who like to constantly remind her of this fact.
The bloody facts were before her, and she had to face them even if she didn't want to. Her heart was extremely complicated and painful.
She was still too pretentious to admit that she was actually a useless person.
No one appreciated her evasion.
