The Blind Lover

The knife in her hand flew out in an instant and pierced right through Lao Zhang’s heart.

Ning Chen collapsed into Qin Yu’s arms with a blood-oozing wound on his chest.

“Brother! Brother!” In a panic, Qin Yu tried desperately to cover Ning Chen’s wound with her hands.

“Ning Chen!”In came Guan Yue with bloodstains on his body.

“Doctor, somebody calls a doctor!” Qin Yu shouted at Guan Yue.

Guan Yue checked Ning Chen’s wound as Qin Yu’s face had tears streaming down. “Wake up, Brother! Wake up! Don’t scare me like that!”

She grabbed Guan Yue’s hand. “Save him, you have to save him!”

Guan Yue called out for help. “Take him to the hospital immediately, and get Doctor Guan in!”

He grabbed Qin Yu, who was covered in blood, and asked, “Are you hurt anywhere?”

Qin Yu stood up, shook her head, and went over to Ning Chen, who was helped off the ground. Suddenly, her body went limp and she collapsed.

“Qin Yu!” Guan Yue grabbed her in fright.

“Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu! Where are you hurt?” Qin Yu, with the last shred of consciousness remaining, heard a voice she’d never expected to appear.

She opened her eyes and saw Uncle Chu Nan’s anxious face. “Uncle Chu Nan, please save Ning Chen! Please!”

Chu Nan answered, “I will! Hold on, Xiao Yu! I came, we came back for you, hang on!”

Qin Yu slowly closed her eyes. That’s right! She had to stay awake but the fatigue was too strong to resist.

The moment she saw Uncle Chu Nan, exhaustion came crashing down. She wanted to take a nap, just a short nap.

What about Ning Chen? He took a bullet for her, what a fool! He was true about his feelings!

What should she do? She seemed to develop a liking to him.

Qin Yu felt as if she had fallen into a deep well, endlessly falling through a void.

Suddenly, her body became lighter, and her surroundings gradually lit up.

She saw a little girl in a white skirt running happily on the grass, followed by a black puppy.

The girl tripped and fell. Immediately, the puppy jumped onto her body and started licking her face.

She laughed happily, rolling around the grass in bliss with the dog.

“Oh, Xiao Yu, you little wild girl!”A woman in a blue dress came to them with a smile on her face.

Xiao Qin Yu grabbed the puppy and got to her feet. “Mommy, Mommy, Beany licked me! It’s itchy!”

She showed the puppy to her mother.

Zhu Yi reached out to stroke her head and gently held her hand. “Daddy will return soon. Let’s wait for him at the door.”

Immediately upon arrival, the tall, handsome man raised little Qin Yu high up into the air. “Did you have fun today, my sweetheart?”

Little Qin Yu was so excited that she laughed. “I did, Daddy, I did!”

The aunty cooked up a feast, full of dishes little Qin Yu loved while Daddy and Mommy made sure the little girl had food on her plate at all times.

Her father stroked her head and asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

Qin Yu tilted her head and thought for a long time. “I want to be a happy person!”

Her father laughed loudly. “Wonderful! My little sweetheart will always be happy!”

Her mother said with a smile, ” Xiao Yu, remember what you said. You must be a happy person!”

A tear fell from Qin Yu’s eyes. She promised her parents that she would always be happy when she grew up!

The scene changed. Her father stood beside her holding a ruler, forcing her to recite the two poems. They were so difficult to memorize, she couldn’t do it. Even though Daddy gave her a stern talk-down, while Mommy remained on the sidelines.

“You have to remember them. They might just save your life in the future. Do you understand?” Daddy felt heartbroken looking at her daughter but stood his ground, insisted she memorized it until perfection.

Qin Yu held back her tears and nodded.

When she finally memorized, her father embraced her. “Xiao Yu, Mommy and Daddy love you the most but we may not be here for you always. One day, you’ll have to face everything on your own. We want you to live your life and finish what we’ve started. Can you do it, my love?”

Qin Yu nodded, although she didn’t really understand what he meant.

Her father kissed her on the forehead. “You’re the sweetest, Xiao Yu, Mommy and Daddy love you!”

Finally, when Qin Yu finished memorizing the two poems, her mother happily hugged her and gave her lots of kisses.

“Mom, why do I have to memorize the poems? I don’t like it, it’s too difficult!”Qin Yu told her mother.
