Chapter 515 The Blind Girl Bound by Gratitude (8)
Receiving a call from Lan Ze during work hours was a surprise to Mu Zhou.
"I'm on Linjiang Road."
"I'm coming to find you, don't move."
He hung up the phone after saying that, leaving Mu Zhou somewhat confused.
find her?
What do you want with her?
Mu Zhou was somewhat confused.
It's unusually hot today, there's not a breath of wind, and the air is so stuffy it's hard to breathe.
Mu Zhou asked for directions as he entered the underground shopping mall, where it finally cooled down considerably.
Then he sent the location information to Lanze.
She bought an iced Americano and sat in the rest area near the entrance.
Her cheeks were burning from the sun. Mu Zhou pressed an iced Americano against her face, and the coolness spread quickly. She sighed comfortably.
She fumbled in her bag for a tissue and slowly wiped the sweat from her forehead.
A creamy aroma suddenly wafted to Mu Zhou's nose, and he took a sniff.
It tastes like a cream puff!
She remembered that there was a cream puff shop nearby that had very good flavors and often had long queues.
Too lazy to look for it again, she opened her phone to order takeout.
As I struggled to use my phone to find the cream puff shop using voice control, a familiar voice suddenly came from above:
Which cream puff shop?
The phone was then taken away.
Mu Zhou recognized Lan Ze's voice, paused for a moment, and then said:
"I remember there was a shop called Prince Puff near Exit B of the underground shopping mall. The shop wasn't very big."
Lan Ze found the store on the platform and, seeing that the location wasn't too far, returned the phone to Mu Zhou.
"I'll go buy it, you wait here."
Hearing the footsteps leave, Mu Zhou tilted his head in confusion.
Strange, why is he so understanding today?
*
Mu Zhou took the cream puffs that Lan Ze had bought and happily ate them one after another.
Lan Ze looked at her, a blurry light and shadow filling his eyes.
He was carefully recalling this period of time.
Mu Zhou seems to have become much less dependent on him.
She began to learn to go out independently and handle things on her own.
Just like yesterday when the accident happened, she didn't tell him.
Even just now, knowing he was about to arrive, she still chose to order takeout herself.
She seems to be trying to adapt to life without him.
As he was deep in thought, a cream puff was handed to him.
Looking up, all I saw was Mu Zhou's smiling face:
"You should try it too. It's mango pomelo sago flavored, refreshing and not greasy."
Lan Ze instinctively refused:
"I don't like sweets."
He regretted it after he said it.
He remembered that after rejecting Mu Zhou in the past, she would always look heartbroken.
Just as she was about to change her mind and say she could try it, she saw Mu Zhou withdraw her hand without hesitation and put the cream puff into her mouth.
Lan Ze looked at her.
He couldn't detect a trace of sadness or hurt at being rejected on Mu Zhou's face.
Lan Ze was clearly feeling uneasy, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
He slowly furrowed his brows, thinking of Fu Hanji, and said:
"Fu Hanji told me about what happened yesterday. We'll go to the police station to sign some papers later."
Mu Zhou was not surprised and nodded.
Then he said again:
Why weren't you told?
"You're busy with work, I'm afraid of bothering you."
Mu Zhou's matter-of-fact answer left Fu Hanji speechless.
It took him a while to say:
“We are husband and wife, you should have told me this.”
"……Oh."
Mu Zhou didn't take his words to heart.
*
On the way back from the police station, Mu Zhou remained silent until he got home and found that Lan Ze was still there.
Aren't you going back to work?
"asked for leave."
Mu Zhou looked in his direction in surprise:
"You're taking leave? Because of me?"
She couldn't believe it.
After receiving Lan Ze's affirmative answer, she raised an eyebrow:
"That's really... a bit unexpected. Actually, I can handle these things myself."
Seeing her like this, Lan Ze felt a sudden tightness in his chest for no reason.
"I am your husband. I promised your parents that I would take care of you for the rest of my life."
Mu Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth.
Aside from the marriage certificate, she didn't seem to receive any special treatment.
One afternoon, the two spent the rest of the day in silence, each doing their own thing.
*
Someone in the lab is getting married.
Since we're getting married back in our hometown, we won't be inviting everyone to the wedding; instead, we've decided to treat everyone to a meal beforehand.
The couple specifically mentioned that family members could come, so married couples decided to bring their families.
Lan Ze looked at the invitation, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Mu Zhou for his opinion.
Mu Zhou readily agreed.
*
Inside the private room, Mu Zhou sat next to Lan Ze.
Even though she couldn't see them, she could still feel some eyes on her.
Many people here are meeting Mu Zhou for the first time, so it's normal for them to be curious about her.
After all, Lanze never talks about his private affairs.
On the other side of Lan Ze sat Qin Mo'er, who was also sizing up Mu Zhou.
Seeing that she was sitting there quietly, Qin Mo'er leaned towards Lan Ze and said to her:
"Mu Zhou? Can I just call you by your name? We're the same age."
"can."
Half of her body passed over Lan Ze, bringing her much closer to Mu Zhou, and the distinct scent of jasmine wafted towards her.
Mu Zhou could almost imagine how close she and Lan Ze were.
Lanze did not dodge.
This at least shows that he is familiar with Qin Mo'er's approach and does not find it offensive.
Qin Mo'er is a very enthusiastic and lively person. She took the initiative to talk to Mu Zhou, which drew a lot of attention to them.
Mu Zhou answered all of her questions seriously.
"Mu Zhou, do you have any dietary restrictions? I heard from my senior brother that you suffered a brain injury. Are there any irritating foods you can't eat?"
"No, the doctor said that there's no need to avoid certain foods if you eat them in moderation."
"I have a small question that might be a bit presumptuous, and you don't have to answer it if you don't want to. It's that you can't see at all, right? I've heard that some blind people can see a little bit."
“I can see some blurry things; it’s not pitch black.”
Qin Mo'er's tone was very sincere, so it didn't seem too abrupt.
Mu Zhou couldn't tell whether she did it intentionally or was genuinely curious.
Mu Zhou could sense that almost everyone's eyes were focused on this side.
Actually, she didn't really want everyone to see her or pay attention to her eyes.
But refusing at this point would seem like a downer, as if she were angry, and would ruin the atmosphere in the entire private room.
So she could only endure it and keep smiling.
Lan Ze, seeing the smile on Mu Zhou's lips, felt much more at ease.
He originally thought that Mu Zhou would be uncomfortable in this kind of occasion, or afraid of being the center of attention.
Fortunately, Qin Mo'er was there, so she wasn't so lonely.
Therefore, he tolerated Qin Mo'er's approach.
A short while later, the door to the private room was opened again, and Mu Zhou learned from everyone that the person who came was Fu Hanji.
The atmosphere quieted down considerably, and everyone seemed a bit more uneasy.
Only Qin Mo'er continued to talk to Mu Zhou.
"By the way, is there any possibility of curing your eye condition? Is this condition irreversible? Is it an organic disease or...?"
