Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang gently rubbed the lump, frowning in pain, and asked, "What time is it?"

Mo Yunchen remained silent. He pulled her wrist and took her pulse again.

Xue Huang looked around, but she could only see darkness in front of her. She was a little surprised. Was Mo Yunchen's vision so good? Could he feel her pulse accurately in such darkness?

After a while, he said, "You should get some more sleep."

"I'm not sleepy." Xue Huang blinked her eyes. She felt very energetic now. "Where are we now?"

Mo Yunchen didn't say anything.

Xue Huang suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She touched the bed and wanted to get out and take a look, but was stopped by Mo Yunchen.

He was very close to her, but Xue Huang couldn't make out his outline at all.

Xue Huang's eyes were a little flustered. She sat there without saying a word. She blinked hard, then stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

I couldn't feel anything, only absolute darkness before my eyes.

It took her a long time to realize that she seemed to be blind.

"What time?" Her tone was somewhat incredulous and even panic-stricken.

"Tatsuki."

Chenshi is daytime.

But there was only darkness before her eyes.

Xue Huang rubbed her eyes vigorously, then opened them and looked again, hoping that all this was just an illusion. But no matter how many times she tried, all she saw was darkness.

Her eyes were rubbed red and painful, but she still refused to stop. She couldn't believe how she suddenly became blind.

Mo Yunchen stopped her movements and said, "Calm down."

Xue Huang didn't dare to imagine what she would do if she lost her sight. She tried to break free from Mo Yunchen's hands and continued to rub her. She couldn't accept losing her eyes.

This can't be true! My brain must have been damaged and I must be dreaming!

"It's only temporary." Mo Yunchen held her hand tightly. "You have a head injury. It's the blood clots that caused temporary blindness in your eyes. It will be fine."

Xue Huang was a little at a loss. It was too dark, without any light at all, and she actually felt a little scared.

"Where is this?"

"safe place."

"Where are you taking me?"

"When your eyes are healed, I will take you to reunite with them. Drink the medicine."

Xue Huang smelled a bitter taste, but she didn't want to drink it at all. Now she was blind, equivalent to half a disabled person, and Mo Yunchen deliberately left the team. If something happened... Xue Huang didn't dare to imagine it.

Mo Yunchen saw her expression and sighed, "Don't you trust me?"

"How can I trust you?"

"Whether you believe it or not, what can you change with your current situation?"

Xue Huang was deeply saddened by his words. She lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"If you don't want to die, drink the medicine."

"I will do it myself."

"Why bother to be brave at a time like this?"

Xue Huang said nothing, fumbled to take the bowl, and drank the medicine in one breath.

Mo Yunchen took the empty bowl and stuffed a candy into her mouth.

"Stay here nicely, I'll be back soon." He said, then stood up and walked out.

Xue Huang listened to the voice fading away and began to call Mu Guang's name.

Unexpectedly, she called out several times but could not hear his voice.

Is this guy not seriously injured?

Xue Huang thought of what he had said before, and her heart was filled with worry.

She bit her finger and fumbled to drip her blood onto the gem, hoping to help Mu Guang heal, but he still did not respond.

Mu Guang accompanied her for two lifetimes and saved her countless times. He meant as much to her as anyone in Guigu.

Now she could only pray that he would recover soon.

Xue Huang groped her way out of bed and walked out slowly.

There was pitch darkness in front of her, and for the first time, she felt that such darkness was so terrifying.

She seemed to be in a void, with an abyss before her eyes. If she made a wrong step, she would be doomed.

Xue Huang groped and moved forward cautiously, and successfully reached the door.

But she didn't know where she was in the cabin, nor where to go.

When Mo Yunchen came back, he saw her standing at the door and trying to go out, but she tripped over the threshold and nearly fell.

He grabbed her arm in time, with some helplessness in his eyes and a hint of gritted teeth in his tone, "I really should press your acupuncture points."

"I just want to see some sunshine."

"What's wrong with your hand?" Mo Yunchen was surprised by the wound on her fingertips, which was clearly caused by him biting her.

"Nothing, I just wanted to confirm if I was dreaming."

Mo Yunchen naturally didn't believe it, but he said nothing and simply bandaged her.

"I want to go out."

"Eat first." Mo Yunchen pulled her to sit down at the table and placed the food in his hands in front of her one by one.

Xue Huang had no appetite. She was feeling very confused and even uncontrollably panicked.

For her, the situation at this moment was like sailing alone on the ocean, adrift and helpless.

Reason told her that she should stay calm, but the panic that she couldn't see with her eyes kept lingering in her heart.

"I will heal your eyes, but you'd better be obedient." Mo Yunchen put a bowl of porridge in her palm, "Drink it."

Xue Huang said nothing and started eating in silence.

She was thinking about going out, so she finished eating quickly.

Mo Yunchen stood up, held her wrist, led her to the window, and then opened it. "It's windy outside, stand here and watch...Stand here."

Xue Huang felt the wind and the warmth of the sun on her face, but everything in front of her was still dark.

She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. This really wasn't a dream.

“When can I see it?”

"Maybe a few days, maybe a few months."

"You promised me that you would save the Fifth Prince's life."

"I promised you that I would not touch him, but if he doesn't have the ability to return to Shangyang City, he has no right to be in that position."

"If this only way out is gone, then you will be stuck in a dilemma. Can you afford the gamble?"

"Winning or losing like this is more meaningful, isn't it?"

Xuehuang found that she really couldn't understand what he was thinking. Not only was he weird, but he was simply a psychopath.

She didn't say anything, but groped her way to sit down by the window, just wanting to bask in the sun for a while longer.

Mo Yunchen sat opposite her and made tea. It seemed that he didn't do it often and looked a little unskilled.

After a while, Xue Huang asked, "Can you go out first?"

Mo Yunchen glanced at her and asked, "Why?"

Xue Huang frowned slightly, "I want to change clothes."

"I'll help you." He said calmly.

Xue Huang almost bit her tongue, "No need, I can do it myself."

Mo Yunchen finally realized what he had just said. He was silent for a moment and said, "There are maids on the boat. I'll call someone to serve you."

After he said that, he stood up and left. After a while, two maids came to serve her.

Xue Huang was blind and a little wary, but fortunately the two maids were very attentive and tried their best to reassure her.

But when Xue Huang asked them where they were going, they all said they didn't know. Even when she asked them where the boat had reached, they didn't say.

Xue Huang had no choice but to give up. What Mo Yunchen didn't want her to know, it was impossible for the people around him to reveal it.

After the two maids helped her bathe and change her clothes, they left.

Xue Huang sat on the bed and slowly practiced qigong and regulated her breathing, hoping that she would be able to see again sooner.

She didn't know how long it had been before she heard the door open.

"Who?" she asked cautiously.

"It's me." Mo Yunchen said.

Xue Huang slowly relaxed and sat there without saying a word.

But she heard Mo Yunchen doing something nearby, and after a long while, she smelled a strong smell of medicine.

"Don't move. Close your eyes." Mo Yunchen came to her and tied a ribbon dyed with potion around her eyes.

Xue Huang only felt that her eyes were cool and quite comfortable.

Half an hour later, Mo Yunchen took off the ribbon and used medicine to clean her eyes.

"What on earth are you going to do?"

Mo Yunchen wiped her eyes and sighed, "Are you so obsessed with this answer?"

"I just don't understand what you want from me by plotting to make me leave with you."

"Of course, it is to fulfill the promise of giving you a betrothal gift."

Xue Huang was indifferent, even expressionless, "Such words coming out of your mouth are hypocritical and ironic no matter how you look at it."

Mo Yunchen grabbed her shoulders, anger surging in his eyes, and his tone became colder, "Why don't you want to believe me?"

Xue Huang didn't want to answer. She didn't know how to answer because she didn't remember any of it at all.

Even if he remembered, what would that matter? Even if time could go back, everything he had done could not be erased.

She didn't need his guilt, so she refused to tell him. She just wanted to torture him.

"Tell me," Mo Yunchen held on tighter and tighter, "Why? Is it because of that dream?"
