Chapter 445 Blind Massage Shop
A county town.
Shen Sangning found Yueyue in a blind massage shop.
The store was filled with the faint aroma of mugwort, and Shen Sangning's gaze fell directly on Yueyue.
Yueyue was concentrating on giving a massage to a customer. Her eyes were closed tightly and there were deep and shallow scars on her eyelids. They were the marks left by her own cruel treatment of herself.
The eyes that should have been bright and moving can now only be replaced by artificial eyeballs, and the eyelashes are sparse, as if telling of the pain and despair of the past.
Shen Sangning waited quietly for a while. After the guests left, she slowly approached and called softly, "Yueyue."
When Yueyue heard the call, her body froze slightly, and a confused look appeared on her face: "Who are you?"
Shen Sangning said softly, "Yueyue, my name is Shen Sangning, and... Chen Mo found me and asked me to help him find you."
Yueyue frowned, as if she had heard the name 'Shen Sangning' somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where it was for a moment.
"Wait!" Yueyue suddenly stopped what she was doing and asked, "Who asked you to come?"
Shen Sangning looked at Yueyue's stunned expression, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "It's Chen Mo, he's out of prison, and has been looking for you."
Yueyue's body trembled slightly: "He...he came out?"
Shen Sangning gently supported Yueyue, "Yes, I'm out. The first thing I'll do after I get out is to look for you."
Yueyue clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with her hands, her lips trembling: "I...I don't want to see him." After she finished speaking, she subconsciously wanted to turn around, but she staggered because she couldn't see.
Shen Sangning quickly held her steady. Yueyue's hands fumbled in the air, as if she was looking for something to lean on. She lowered her head and cried, "How can I meet him in this state?"
"Go away, I can't possibly see him!"
"I am living a good life alone now, and I don't want to disrupt this peace."
"Go back and tell him that I am sorry for him and I owe him."
Shen Sangning sighed softly and said, "Escape won't solve the problem. Chen Mo has been in prison for so many years for you, and he has never had the slightest thought of giving up."
"You don't owe him anything. You've sacrificed so much for him. You've endured so much pressure..."
Yueyue's body froze, tears flowing out uncontrollably: "I can't bear it, but what can I do? I'm not the same person I used to be. I don't want to be a burden to him."
Shen Sangning continued, "Yueyue, give yourself a chance, and give Chen Mo a chance as well. Don't let regrets accompany you for the rest of your lives."
"I think there's nothing wrong with meeting. Some things have to be made clear, and there has to be a result."
"Love comes voluntarily, and there is no regret after it is over. Live up to the encounter and don't talk about debts."
“The anxiety that makes you miserable is actually a competition between yourself and yourself. Be calm when you gain and calm when you lose. Just let nature take its course.”
"Let's talk it out face to face. If the result is not good, there will be no regrets. Instead, it will be easier to let go, isn't it?"
Shen Sangning's gentle voice made Yueyue startled for a moment, and she seemed to remember something: "You...you are Master Shen?"
"I remember, I often hear customers mention you!"
Shen Sang Ning smiled and said, "It's me, just call me Sang Ning."
Yueyue bit her lip, her hands still tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, her face full of entanglement and hesitation: "Master Shen, I understand all the principles you said, but I am really scared."
"I'm afraid Chen Mo will be disgusted and leave when he sees me like this. I can't stand that kind of blow."
Shen Sangning gently patted Yueyue's shoulder: "Yueyue, you have to believe in Chen Mo's feelings for you. During all these years in prison, he has been thinking about you all the time."
"If he really is the kind of person who would change his mind just because of appearance, why would he come to you first thing he did when he came out?"
Yueyue was silent, tears welled up in her eyes, her lips trembled: "But...how can I face her...he must hate me to death, right?"
"I haven't visited him for ten years..."
Shen Sangning smiled and said, "Yueyue, so there is a misunderstanding here. You have your own difficulties and hardships."
"Think about it, have you endured less pain than him over the years?"
Yueyue bit her lips tightly, struggling fiercely in her heart. After a long time, she slowly raised her head, her voice choked with sobs: "Master Shen, will there be any result between him and me?"
Shen Sangning curled her lips: "If there is no result, I won't bother you."
"Or if I ask Chen Mo to come to you directly, you will easily get stuck in a dead end. So, I am here."
"Chen Mo is the shoulder you can lean on."
Hearing this, Yueyue was still very nervous. She kept tidying up her hair and clothes with her hands, even though she couldn't see what she looked like.
"Master Shen, then... then... does this dress look good on me? Is my hair messy?" Yueyue asked nervously.
Shen Sangning chuckled: "Yueyue, you are very beautiful, don't worry."
"I'll help you close the store. I'll ask Chen Mo to wait for you at Lingyun Temple."
"Okay... okay..." Yueyue quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand and forced a smile.
Yueyue walked out of the massage parlor with the help of Shen Sangning. Every step she took seemed extremely heavy, and her hand tightly grasped Shen Sangning's arm.
Along the way, Yueyue's thoughts were flying. She thought of the good times she had spent with Chen Mo, the laughter and sweetness, but now it seemed as if they were separated by a thick veil, out of reach.
"Will he really still love me as much as before? Will he really not be disgusted if I go to see him like this?" Yueyue's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and her breathing became rapid.
"I haven't seen him for ten years. What if he came to me just to get an explanation?" These disturbing thoughts kept flashing through Yueyue's mind, and her steps became more and more hesitant.
The wind blew gently, and Yueyue couldn't help shivering. She thought back to the days after she became blind, the loneliness and pain in the darkness.
"Maybe I shouldn't have hope. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." But when she thought that she would be able to see Chen Mo soon, a faint expectation ignited in her heart.
"Even if he doesn't love me anymore, being able to meet and talk things out can put the past to rest." Yueyue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but the turmoil in her heart could not be calmed down.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached Lingyun Temple. Yueyue's palms were covered in sweat and her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
