Xie Shuo quietly watched her move, light and shadow danced between her slender fingers.
Probably because he was afraid of being discovered by him, after touching the eyelashes, Ye Man put away his small movements and lay on his shoulder again: "If you can't sleep, how about I massage your head for you—"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly turned her face away and sneezed.
It was a cold winter night, and although the heating was turned on in the ward, her fingers resting on her shoulders were still cold.
Xie Shuo glanced at the thin pajamas she was wearing, pulled up the quilt, and lay down on her side: "Go to sleep."
She thought she would go back to the accompanying bed next to her, but she turned off the light and lay down next to him, with her hand on his arm, as if she was at home.
The ward was plunged into darkness, Xie Shuo tilted his head, looked at the blurred outline beside the pillow, moved his lips, wanted to say something, and finally swallowed it back.
The light and shallow breath brushed over the shoulders and gradually became longer. On the first day of recovery, insomnia was inevitable. Xie Shuo opened his eyes and was extraordinarily awake. He barely fell asleep until two or three o'clock in the morning.
The next morning, when he woke up, he was in a daze for a moment, thinking that yesterday's recovery was just a dream, and when he turned his head and saw the quiet face close at hand, he finally had a sense of reality and felt at ease.
The morning sun passed through the gaps in the curtains and leaked in a little.
He stared at the sleeping face beside the pillow for a long time.

For the following week, Xie Shuo stayed in the institute for observation and treatment, and Cen Qingyan came over to check on him every day.
Ye Wen accompanied him to take care of him, and always felt that there was something different about him. Although he still didn't like to talk, the depression and decadence in his body had faded a lot, and his whole person became much calmer.
Time passed quickly, and a week later, the two returned to Xie's house.
On the day he arrived home, Xie Shuo locked himself in the study and stayed alone all afternoon.
Ye Wen hadn't seen him like this for a long time, he was a little uneasy, knocked on the door several times and wanted to go in, but he refused.
Before leaving the research institute, Cen Qingyan chatted with him alone for a long time. Could it be that something went wrong with the treatment, or did something Cen Qingyan say cut off his hope
Ye Wen looked at the closed door and felt worried, but he couldn't break through the door directly. After standing for a while, he could only sit in the living room and wait for him to figure it out.
The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the evening sun is like blood, slanting in.
Around six o'clock, when it was time for dinner, Ye Wen knocked on the door again.
This time Xie Shuo finally came out, his expression looked all right, but he was a little tired, Ye Wen heaved a sigh of relief, and reached out to help him.
"What are you doing in the study alone? Isn't it boring?"
Xie Shuo didn't reply to her, as if he was thinking about something.
The two went downstairs and sat down at the dining table. The dishes were already set.
Xie Shuo picked up the chopsticks by himself, and subconsciously wanted to pick up some vegetables, but the bowl in front of him was suddenly taken away by Ye Wen.
As usual, she served him patiently, choosing his favorite flavors.
Xie Shuo paused when he picked up the chopsticks, and glanced at her calmly.
Fortunately, Ye Wen was so focused on serving the dishes that he didn't notice his abnormal behavior just now. After picking up the dishes, he put the bowl back in front of him, and dragged his fingers to put it on the edge of the bowl.
Xie Shuo pretended not to see, picked up the bowl gropingly, then became more careful, and did not make the same mistake again.
After dinner, Ye Wen didn't give Xie Shuo a chance to go back to his study to continue his daze, and directly took him to the garden for a walk.
The dimness of the night is a good cover up, Xie Shuo doesn't have to make any effort to pretend, and let her walk through the flower garden with his arm.
"When you left, what did Professor Cen tell you?" After hesitating for a while, Ye Wen couldn't help asking.
Xie Shuo turned his head and said flatly, "It's nothing."
Ye Yan obviously didn't believe it: "It's nothing, then when you come back, you lock yourself in the study and refuse to come out?"
Xie Shuo remained silent.
Ye Wen's hand on his arm slid down, intertwined with his fingers, looked up at him, and said softly: "Don't be upset, okay? If Professor Cen can't do it here, let's change to another medical team."
Xie Shuo stamped his feet, and met her eyes, the night was dark, and the concern inside was heavy, without any trace of perfunctory and fake.
I couldn't see it before, I could only hear the sound, so naturally I couldn't find these.
"You really want me to recover?" After a while, Xie Shuo asked.
Ye Wen was stunned by his question, and then said: "Isn't this nonsense? Of course I hope you can recover your eyesight!"
Xie Shuo's eyes stayed on her face for a second, then moved away and looked into the distance.
? ? What's the meaning
Seeing his reaction, Ye Wen was a little confused, thought about it carefully, and said, "Could it be that you thought that I would rely on you because I had an agreement with you, so I secretly prayed that your eyes would not recover?"
Ye Wen suddenly became angry, "You think too much of me, don't you? Don't worry, as soon as you regain your sight, I will divorce you immediately, and I will never break my promise!"
Xie Shuo turned his head again and saw the humiliated expression on her face. She didn't know how she thought of it so far.
The more Ye Wen thought about it, the angrier he became, and he let go of the fingers interlocking with him, relying on the fact that he couldn't see, he gave him a hard look.
Xie Shuo: "..."
The winter night wind was cold, blowing from his face to his neck, Ye Wen lost his mood, and helped him turn around with a wooden face: "It's too cold, I can't go."
After walking two steps, I suddenly heard Xie Shuo's low voice: "I didn't mean that."
Ye Wen paused slightly, a little surprised: Eldest Young Master can still explain
The anger dissipated in an instant, and she felt relieved. After walking a distance, she said calmly, "Whether you mean it or not, I will not go back on what we agreed to. We will divorce when you recover."
Hearing this, Xie Shuo looked at her blurred side face, and complex emotions flashed in his eyes.
In the air, there is a dark fragrance and coolness.
----
The two went back indoors.
After nine o'clock in the evening, Xie Baiyan came back. He was out for a social event today, and when he came back, he smelled of alcohol and looked a little drunk.
As soon as he came back, he asked Ye Wen about the result of the follow-up visit, and Ye Wen truthfully told him Cen Qingyan's comforting words of changing the soup instead of the medicine.
Xie Baiyan showed a disappointed expression, and if he sighed inaudibly, he seemed to have aged a lot.
Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn't bear it, smiled and comforted him and said, "Don't worry too much, the situation is getting better all the time, maybe one day you will recover your sight."
Xie Baiyan also knew that she was comforting himself, nodded his head, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work..." After a pause, "What about others?"
Ye Wen said: "It's in the study."
After walking back, he hid in the study alone again, not knowing what was going on.
"I'll go see him, you should go to bed early."
Xie Baiyan turned around and headed towards the study, walked to the door, and knocked on the door: "Ah Shuo, it's me."
Soon, the study door opened, and Xie Baiyan entered.
Ye Wen glanced at it from a distance, and then went back to the bedroom.
In the study, it was quiet for a while.
Xie Baiyan looked at the silent son in front of him, and suddenly said, "Ah Shuo, are you still blaming me for your mother?"
Xie Shuo sat in a corner of the sofa, without saying a word, his eyes were dim, and half of his face was sunk in the shadows.
Bloodshot eyes appeared in Xie Baiyan's eyes, he raised his hand to support his forehead, and said in a sad tone, "I shouldn't have quarreled with your mother, if I knew something like that would happen, I would never let her be alone..."
Probably because of the alcohol, his voice was a little hoarse, and his emotions were more exposed than usual.
Listening to his words, Xie Shuo finally had a reaction, turned his face and looked at him.
Counting carefully, Xie Shuo hadn't seen him for more than a year. He looked a lot older, most of his temple hair was gray, and he was especially eye-catching under the lamp.
Xie Baiyan and Xie Shuo's mother have been husband and wife for many years, and they have a very strong relationship. They have never been involved in any farce of a wealthy family cheating on an illegitimate child. However, due to the environment in which they grew up, Xie's mother has a somewhat sensitive and suspicious personality, especially after getting older. Depression. She has always been dissatisfied that Xie Baiyan was busy with business all day long and went out to socialize. After a big fight with him one day, in a fit of anger, he ran out to sea alone.
At that time, Xie Baiyan was already preparing to hand over the full power of the company to Xie Shuo, but he didn't expect that just as he was relieved of the burden and before he had time to find her, bad news came.
After all, he couldn't be blamed for this. Xie Shuo looked at him for a moment, then suddenly said, "I have regained my sight."
Xie Baiyan was taken aback, and looked up at him, thinking he had heard wrong.
Xie Shuo got up and handed him a document that had just been sorted out on the desk. His actions were smooth and unhindered, as if he could see it.
Xie Baiyan was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to regain his composure, staring into his eyes: "You... when did it happen?"
Xie Shuo wrote lightly, "A week ago."
Xie Baiyan took the document and couldn't calm down for a long time. The news came so suddenly that he even forgot to be happy.
Xie Shuo sat down again and said, "Don't say anything about this. I'm investigating Zhang Junfeng recently. I suspect that the car accident was related to him."
Zhang Junfeng had a problem, Xie Baiyan had already listened to his reminder before, and frowned upon hearing this: "I never thought that he would do something like this after we have known each other for so many years."
Xie Shuo's eyes were slightly cold: "He hides deeply and doesn't move, so we must take advantage of this time to uproot him."
Xie Baiyan quickly understood what he meant, and asked him, "When do you plan to return to the company?"
Xie Shuo leaned on the sofa and said, "Go there tomorrow and see the situation."
He paused, and suddenly added emphatically: "By the way, Ye Wen's side, don't let her know about my recovery."
Xie Baiyan was slightly stunned when he heard the words, a little confused, it was enough to keep this matter from outsiders, and Ye Wen had nothing to do with the company, why did he keep it from her
"Why do you want to hide it? I think she is very worried about you..."
A strange look flashed in Xie Shuo's eyes: "Anyway, keep it a secret, and I will tell her myself when the time is right."
My own son has always had his own opinions, he said so, Xie Baiyan had no choice but to agree.
The father and son chatted for a long time in the study.
When Xie Shuo returned to the bedroom, Ye Wen was nestling on the sofa, writing lines into her mobile phone. She hadn't answered the job for a long time, and she was afraid that she would be unfamiliar, so she practiced it when she had time.
Seeing Xie Shuo coming in, she put down her phone and asked casually, "Have you finished chatting with Dad?"
Xie Shuo's gaze paused on her face, and he gave a light "um".
Ye Wen put on his slippers and went to the ground: "I'll get you clothes to take a bath."
Xie Shuo looked at her busy figure, and her previous words of "divorce when you recover" flashed through your mind again.
As usual, Ye Wen packed his clothes for him, and after he came out, he continued to lie on the sofa and play with his mobile phone.
There was a splashing sound of water in the bathroom, and she didn't take a shower until he finished washing.
The weather was cold, so she no longer wore a suspender nightgown like before, but changed into a cherry blossom red nightgown, with a white and slender calf underneath.
After finishing her skin care before going to bed, she walked to the bedside. Xie Shuo was still asleep, leaning against the bedside in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Ye Wen lifted the quilt to go to bed, and leaned to his side: "What are you thinking, still not sleeping?"
Xie Shuo raised his eyes, but this glance happened to fall in front of her. The neckline of the nightgown was a little low, revealing a large collarbone. The place where the collar crossed was as white as snow, and the scenery was almost clearly visible.
But she didn't realize it yet, and leaned towards him, the arc became more and more obvious.
Xie Shuo's eyes were slightly condensed, he paused for two seconds, and then looked away without any trace.
Ye Wen didn't know that he had regained his sight, and he still regarded him as blind, so he didn't have the consciousness of tightening his collar at all, no matter how comfortable he was, if it wasn't for the cold weather, she would wear less clothes.
"I'm going to the company tomorrow." Xie Shuo said, looking straight ahead.
Ye Wen was a little surprised when he heard this, but it is a good thing that he is willing to go to the company. She asked, "What time do you go?"
"Nine thirty in the morning."
"Then I'll get up early."
Xie Shuo originally wanted to explain that you don't have to go with her tomorrow, but thought that if she didn't accompany her, it would easily make people suspicious, so he swallowed the words back to his lips.
Leaning on his shoulder, Ye Wen was about to let him go to bed early, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small dark water stain on the neckline of his nightgown, which should have been wet in the bathroom.
The black nightgown he was wearing tonight had a loose neckline, revealing a small piece of chest, with tight lines, Ye Wen couldn't help but glanced twice.
She thought of the abdominal muscles she touched when she was drunk and dazed on the night of Xie Baiyan's birthday, and her eyes moved down again.
Xie Shuo turned his head inadvertently, just in time to see her lowering her head, looking down at his neckline and chest, looking ready to move.
Xie Shuo: ...? where are you looking
