Chapter 222 Jiang Jintong Chapter 64
Although Xie Luo hadn't finished telling a story yet, Jiang Jintong couldn't help squinting his eyes, and finally fell asleep slowly on her shoulder.
Although it is not night yet, it is already evening, and the night belongs to Tongtong.
Xie Luo blinked and felt the even breathing beside his ears.
She put her legs down, then moved Jiang Jintong's head onto her legs through the quilt, and covered his head with her ears.
He always seemed to go to bed on time. As the old saying goes, that's the good thing about being young. They could fall asleep right away without any hesitation.
But it’s better this way. At least in his dreams, he won’t be so scared and can feel a little more at ease.
This time on a rainy day, the young man was finally no longer alone.
In the days that followed, Xie Luo and Jiang Jintong still got along very happily.
Xie Luo doesn't like to go out very much. She often stays at home practicing how to walk with a stick in her hand.
Since Xie Luo didn't like going out, Jiang Jintong rarely went out either. Except for necessary times such as chopping firewood, Jiang Jintong basically never went out.
The two of them spent a lot of time together and their relationship grew stronger.
Even Ma Laosan, who came to deliver fish, couldn't help but make a few jokes when he saw it.
Finally one day, the teasing turned into a serious inquiry.
"Miss Xie, what's going on between you and him? Are you two really in love?"
"Don't tell me nothing happened. I'm so much older than you two, how could I not see what happened between you two? That look in your eyes is almost sweeter than the osmanthus cake my wife makes."
Xie Luo was stunned by the question, but he admitted it readily.
"I like him, and he probably likes me too, but neither of us has said it explicitly."
Ma Laosan frowned. Joking aside, there were some things that needed to be advised with caution.
After all, Xie Luo can't see now, and he is highly dependent on people. What if he mistakes gratitude and dependence for love, and something happens between him and Jiang Jintong, wouldn't her life be ruined?
It’s not that Ma Laosan is narrow-minded or that he is meddling in other people’s business, it’s just that this reminder is necessary.
Because he knew that what Xie Luo wanted most was to get out.
"Ahem, it's like this, Miss Xie, do you really know Brother Xiaobai? You can't see what he looks like, and you don't know what he does originally, or why he suddenly came to us. Your liking for him is a little too... too rash."
"I know, he told me that, he told me all that."
"But what if he cheated on you?"
Xie Luo barely hesitated and chuckled, "I trust him. He won't lie to me."
"Since I like him, I will choose to believe him."
"hiss."
Ma Laosan scratched his face, unable to think of anything to say, so he asked vaguely, "Speaking of which, he has a big birthmark on his face. Will you really not dislike him after you regain your sight?"
"You are good-looking and you may be able to regain your sight, but he is truly mute and has a birthmark on his face."
"If you really want to be together, you'll probably have to prepare yourself mentally."
"…Are you mentally prepared?"
Xie Luo raised his head and smiled at Ma Laosan with a curved lip. There seemed to be a glimmer of light in those lifeless eyes.
Jiang Jintong was chopping firewood in the yard at the moment, and the sound of "dong dong dong" kept coming from the backyard.
She looked in the direction of the sound, but all she saw was darkness.
"I've been mentally prepared for this."
"Doctor Ma, you don't need to think too much about liking something. If you have to compare whether it is worthwhile all the time, then you are too calculating."
"Because taking care of me is not worth it in itself."
If Jiang Jintong didn't take care of her, she would never have discovered Jiang Jintong's good points and fallen in love with him.
It is human nature to like good-looking people, and Xie Luo is no exception.
But as long as it's him, appearance doesn't seem to be that important.
This birthmark of his had been the reason for countless people to reject him, but not for Xie Luo.
She likes Xiaobai, so she can't just accept the good side of Xiaobai, she should also accept his shortcomings.
Liking someone shouldn’t just be about gains and losses.
Xiaobai's life should not be ruined because of a birthmark.
Xie Luo had already thought of a way out. If she could leave here, she would persuade Xiaobai to leave with her.
If Xiaobai really doesn't want to, then she will find time to come back and see Xiaobai.
Xie Luo would not force Xiaobai to make a choice, and Xiaobai could not use the so-called love to confine her here.
Her love is free, and no one can truly imprison her unless she voluntarily enters the cage.
But the probability of her voluntarily entering the cage is almost zero.
"Since you have your own ideas, I won't try to persuade you any further."
Ma Laosan said no more. He looked at the sky, turned around and said goodbye: "Oh, the weather is going to change soon. I have to go home to harvest peanuts. I'm leaving now."
"Okay, Dr. Ma, take care."
Dark clouds rolled in the sky, gradually blocking the bright lights in the distance, then rippling and occupying the last piece of white in the sky.
Just as Dr. Ma said, it seems that things are about to change.
Jiang Jintong's originally peaceful life with Xie Luo was disrupted again. Originally, Xie Luo just had a common cold, and Doctor Ma prescribed some medicine for her, but she never got better.
The cold kept dragging on, and in the end it turned into a fever.
Dr. Ma was smoking outside the clinic, looking outside, and was in a bad mood.
It was raining heavily outside. The wind was very strong and the rain was dripping, accompanied by thunder, which made people feel more depressed.
Jiang Jintong's body was shaking, but his eyes never left Xie Luo. He tremblingly took off the towel from Xie Luo's forehead and replaced it with another one.
Is Jiang Jintong afraid of thunder?
Still afraid.
But compared to the thunder, he was more worried about Xie Luo now.
Finally, he put out the cigarette in his hand, walked in, and felt the temperature of Xie Luo's body again.
"It still hasn't come down. It's hanging."
"How come a minor cold turned into a fever? Such a high temperature, oh."
Most of the medicines in Ma Laosan’s clinic are traditional Chinese medicine, as his medical conditions are limited.
Xie Luo's fever was so high that he had no idea what to do.
The young man pursed his lips tightly and looked at Ma Laosan, his light brown eyes full of pleading.
Ma Laosan naturally understood what he meant. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, and finally told Jiang Jintong the whole truth.
"It's not that I don't want to treat her. You can see that I only have some herbs here. It's impossible to help her temperature drop quickly."
"If she is sent outside, there may be some hope, but she is here, so we can only leave it to fate."
