The author has something to say: Mine Clearance: Gong and Shou are two things that have been separated for many years.The label is "marginal lovers", please pay attention to lightning protection.

When Xia Qiyou saw Qiu Ziming for the first time, he didn't believe he was blind at all.

That day was Qiu Ziming's work signing event.

After the signing session, Xia Qiyou invited Qiu Ziming to dinner; Qiu Ziming naturally accepted the invitation.

On the way, he confessed to Xia Qiyou that he wanted to take root in this city and needed Xia Qiyou's care and support in the future.

Xia Qiyou smiled and asked back: "I'm just a vagrant myself, how can I take care of you?"

Qiu Ziming's gray and cold eyes fixed on his face, "Taking shortcuts will cost you more than keeping your feet on the ground. So, let me gain your trust first."

Qiu Ziming is the hottest best-selling novelist in recent years, and Xia Qiyou is the eldest son of the Xia family who is full of stars in this city.

The moment the two of them appeared in the same frame at the restaurant on the top floor of Binjiang Seaview Hotel, it caused quite a commotion.

After taking his seat, he took a few sips of the pre-dinner wine, and Qiu Zibai's fair face flushed slightly.

Looking at his frowning, Xia Qiyou somehow thought of the ginkgo leaves blown down by the wind in late autumn.

"Dining in such an elegant and well-mannered environment will cause me a lot of mental pressure in various senses." Qiu Ziming's light gray eyes were as cold as his voice, "Because I can't see. A normal person can easily do beautiful movements, I will only act like a clown."

"But you look very relaxed, and your movements are... very beautiful." Xia Qiyou felt that his choice of words was inappropriate, but he really couldn't think of a more appropriate word, "The guests here are all from this city. Elite people. But no one like you."

Qiu Ziming nodded slightly, "Of course it's different; I'm a foreigner, and I'm not an elite."

Xia Qiyou did not continue this topic.He casually chatted about Qiu Ziming's novels and the history of the city.

Qiu Ziming was very quiet when listening, but it would not make people think that he was lost in thought.

Occasionally, when expressing his opinions, he also appears to be very self-cultivated, but not overly restrained.

He's like a perfect gentleman; alas, he's blind.Xia Qiyou thought to himself.

"I have a rather presumptuous question..." Xia Qiyou said cautiously, "If you don't want to answer, you don't have to answer."

Qiu Ziming's tone was still so calm and indifferent, "What's the problem?"

"Your eyes..." Xia Qiyou deliberately paused, seeing that Qiu Ziming's expression didn't change at all, he continued, "Is there any possibility of a cure?"

"I was born blind." Qiu Ziming blinked his eyes very calmly and slowly, "There is no hope of healing."

Xia Qiyou felt a little regretful.

Xia Qiyou and Qiu Ziming chatted very well.They are all optimistic about the development of sports competitions, but not the application of blockchain technology in finance; they all like psychedelic rock and dislike country music; they are all followers of craftsmanship, and they don’t appreciate the current dominant flow economy .

Hit it off, meet each other late, probably this is the feeling.

After dinner, Xia Qiyou asked Qiu Ziming to sign a special bookmark, and then sent Qiu Ziming home.

After learning that Qiu Ziming lives in a cheap subway house, his affection and pity for Qiu Ziming deepened a lot.

He wanted to come to Qiu Ziming's house for a sit-down, but Qiu Ziming refused directly: "The place I live has been renovated, and there are no lights in the whole apartment."

What a good reason not to fault it.

Xia Qiyou sat in his limited-edition sports car, watched him get off the car thoughtfully, looked at his slender and slightly thin back, waited until he disappeared from his sight, then took out a cigarette and lit it.

Xia Qiyou's father, Xia Jinghong, is a legend in the city.The Xia Group has several companies in charge of different businesses, and it is a veritable business giant in this city.

His mother passed away when Xia Qiyou was young, and Xia Jinghong has never remarried. Over the years, all his efforts have been devoted to Xia Group and Xia Qiyou.

Xia Qiyou grew up in the city's spotlight.

He was raised as the heir of the Xia family since he was a child, and he has resources that countless people envy, but he has not walked on the path that most people expected.

In other words, his business acumen and management ability are not as outstanding as his father's, and even disappointingly mediocre.

Xia Qiyou is only 22 years old, and he is studying business administration at the best university in the city; his professional grades in the past three years have been hovering on the verge of passing.

He himself doesn't pay much attention to his father's company. What he likes most on weekdays is to write weird programs, and then make a short video of his results and post them on Weibo, accompanied by a few self-deprecating emoticons.

There are many people who want to make friends with him.After all, Xia Jinghong has only one son like him, and sooner or later the business empire of the Xia family will be passed on to him.

But Xia Qiyou has no friends.After his mother died, his character became very strange.

He would rather talk to himself all night in front of a computer program than chat with a living person.

If Xia Jinghong hadn't been seriously ill and hospitalized, he wouldn't have attended Qiu Ziming's autograph session instead of his father, let alone invited him to dinner.

Speaking of the Xia family, people's first impression is that young master Xia Qiyou who is more popular than a popular star.

People's second impression of the Xia Group is its social public interest in caring for the blind.

Xia Group has a special department for the research and development of products for the blind.

Different from those products on the market that are bulky in appearance, single in function, complex in operation and expensive, Xia's products for the blind have superior performance and reasonable prices.

Most of these R&D departments are losing money, and Xia's is no exception.However, the Xia family is rich and powerful, so they don't care about such losses.

Xia Qiyou was asked by his father to learn Braille since he was a child. After graduating from high school, he was also assigned to take charge of the volunteer project of the school for the blind.

Over the years, Xia Qiyou has dealt with many blind people, but he has never met such a blind person as Qiu Ziming.

Qiu Ziming couldn't see.But when he was in front of him, Xia Qiyou felt that he couldn't hide any secrets, as if he could see through any thoughts.

Perhaps this is the gift of the so-called crime novelist.

Xia Qiyou's father had only three true loves in his life: Xia's Group, Xia Qiyou, and Qiu Ziming's novels.

At first, Xia Qiyou didn't understand why his father was so keen on stories that had no other meaning other than entertainment.

After being forced by his father to read all of Qiu Ziming's novels within a week, Xia Qiyou didn't understand even more.

He couldn't believe that these stories that made people feel chills in their hearts for a few days after reading them were written by an invisible person.

This young writer whom Xia Jinghong highly admires is undoubtedly not an inspirational figure like Helen Keller, and what he writes is not a healing chicken soup for the soul.

It's a crime novel filled with darkness and brutality.

His existence is depressing, Xia Qiyou commented on Qiu Ziming after watching it.

Xia Jinghong was so angry that he couldn't even eat dinner: "With your little awareness, you won't be able to understand Teacher Qiu's book in ten years!"

It was the first time Xia Qiyou heard his father call a book writer a "teacher".

After seeing Qiu Ziming in person, he also felt that Qiu Ziming deserved the title of "teacher".

A few days later, Qiu Ziming found Xia Qiyou again.He needs quietness for writing, and he can't live in a subway house all the time, so he wants to buy an apartment.

But the housing supply in this city is very tight, and you have to wait in line for a lottery for several months, and the good properties are even more exaggerated.He wanted to ask Xia Qiyou to introduce him to some real estate agents.

Xia Jinghong heard about it, and asked Xia Qiyou to accompany Qiu Ziming to see the house like a duck.She also told him to learn more from Qiu Ziming, become self-reliant and buy a house earlier.

It is best for two people to buy a set in the same real estate, and they can still be neighbors in the future.

Xia Qiyou felt that his father was more worried about Qiu Ziming than he was about his own son, so he couldn't laugh or cry.

After thinking about it in a blink of an eye, being with Qiu Ziming is indeed much more interesting than dealing with the company's troublesome affairs, so he used his father's number to call several real estate owners.

Xia Qiyou simply became Qiu Ziming's driver and assistant, driving him around various real estates in the city.

After a few days, Xia Qiyou found that he and Qiu Ziming were too compatible in too many places.

He draped Qiu Ziming's shoulders and asked his assistant Xiao Han to take a group photo of them.

Xia Qiyou picked a photo that was captured while the two were talking, and posted it on Weibo without editing it, with a sentence:

"As of today, I'm not the coolest kid in town [sad]"

In the photo, both Qiu Ziming and Xia Qiyou had side faces, their expressions were softer than usual, and the color of their pupils was not so obvious.

Xia Qiyou specially picked this photo because Qiu Ziming's frontal photo is too lethal.

After posting on Weibo, Xia Qiyou asked Qiu Ziming: "I'm curious, do you have a concept of 'beauty' and 'ugliness'?"

Qiu Ziming thought for a while, "I think people use 'beautiful' to describe what they like, and use 'ugly' to describe what they don't like. So the difference between 'beautiful' and 'ugly' probably lies in whether they like it or not. .”

Xia Qiyou was stunned for a moment: "That is to say, if you like me, you will find me beautiful; if you don't like me, you will find me ugly. Is that what you mean?"

"You can say that."

"We and you are just the opposite," Xia Qiyou said playfully, "We first think a person's appearance is beautiful, and then we like him. If we think ugly, our favorability will decrease."

The "we" he said were visible people like him.

Qiu Ziming nodded lightly: "I know. But what the eyes see is often not real. The stories of being confused by the beautiful appearance and causing trouble to the upper body happen every day."

Xia Qiyou sighed, "But it's a pity that I can't see something beautiful."

Qiu Ziming lowered his eyes, "Maybe. I haven't seen it, so I don't feel too sorry."

Xia Qiyou frowned unconsciously.

He felt sorry for Qiu Ziming.

Xia Qiyou's Weibo post went crazy in the afternoon, and the comments were even more explosive:

"Ah, this face, I was instantly killed [dog head]"

"Put on women's clothing, you can still be the prettiest girl in town [cute]"

"Let go of that little brother, let me [excited]"

"The group of nympho upstairs has only a pair of eyes to find beauty. I am different, I have a pair of eyes to find adultery (crossed out) basic love [hold glasses]"

"The atmosphere suddenly became gay..."

"My little brother is Qiu Ziming who wrote "City of Fog". I saw him at his autograph signing half a month ago. He is even more handsome than the photo [excited] [anthropomorphic]"

"That's right, that's Brother Xiao Ming! His "Xiao Xifeng" is also super beautiful [crying] [crying]"

"Don't you guys think the little brother's eyes are flirtatious? I've already had a bowl of nosebleed [doge]"

"..."

Xia Qiyou flicked through the comments with a straight face, no one said he was more handsome than Qiu Ziming.

I was a little upset at first, but later I was relieved - he doesn't rely on his appearance for a living anyway.

After reading too many comments praising Qiu Ziming, Xia Qiyou also admitted that that guy was so good-looking that it was unreal.

Especially those eyes, the light gray pupils are deeply embedded in the chiseled face, and the out-of-focus pupils can draw people into the vortex of color loss inadvertently.

But Qiu Ziming himself couldn't see such a unique beauty.

Probably the incomplete beauty is more touching; Xia Qiyou flipped through the photos with Qiu Ziming on his phone, and finally stopped on a close-up photo of him, and slowly outlined his outline with his fingers.
