Chapter 1314 The Day Will Never Come
This night was too dreamy, and Xu Youning slept very peacefully.
Mu Sijue, however, did not sleep all night.
He stared at Xu Youning in his arms without blinking, and when he came to his senses, it was already four o'clock in the morning.
In the past few hours, his mind seemed to be blank, and he seemed to have thought a lot.
The only clear thing was that after returning, what was waiting for him was the biggest challenge of his life.
In this way, he should cherish these three days even more.
At this time, what Mu Sijue did not know was that fate was so stingy that it did not even give him three days.
Mu Sijue did not know why, but he just felt irritated, so he gently let go of Xu Youning, walked outside the tent, and lit a cigarette.
Mina was on duty in the second half of the night. She noticed the movement from Mu Sijue's side at the first time, picked up the intercom and asked: "Seventh Brother, what's wrong? Do you need help?"
"Nothing." Mu Sijue lowered his head slightly and bit the cigarette butt, "I'll smoke a cigarette."
"Oh. Okay."
Mina didn't dare to disturb Mu Sijue, and said nothing more. The intercom also went silent.
After Mu Sijue finished smoking, he blew the wind for a while, and waited until the smell on his body disappeared before returning to the tent.
Xu Youning still maintained the posture just now and slept soundly.
In fact, Xu Youning was a very vigilant person.
If it were in the past, Mu Sijue's coming in and out like this, she would have noticed and woken up.
But now, she was obviously unaware in her sleep.
Mu Sijue was only willing to believe that it was because Xu Youning could rest assured after returning to him.
He was unwilling to admit that the disease had affected Xu Youning's perception and reaction more seriously.
"Hmm..."
Xu Youning suddenly moved in her sleep, and one hand fumbled around a few times, looking like she was looking for Mu Sijue.
Mu Sijue was afraid that Xu Youning would wake up, so he lay down and held her in his arms. Xu Youning really didn't move obediently.
He looked at Xu Youning in his arms, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose slightly, then he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep soon.
Two hours later, dawn came quietly.
Perhaps because the environment was too unfamiliar, Xu Youning did not sleep until noon like before, and her consciousness recovered early.
She heard the crisp sound of birds and the whistling wind, mixed together, like the music played by nature, extremely beautiful.
Xu Youning opened her eyes hazily, and it was still dark around her.
She simply thought it was not dawn yet, so she changed her sleeping position, fumbled and hugged Mu Sijue, and closed her eyes to sleep again.
She forgot that the light in the tent was actually on.
Even if it was still dark and she couldn't see the sun, she should be able to see the lights.
Mu Sijue was easy to wake up, and after Xu Youning's fuss, he opened his eyes.
The air in the mountains was very good, especially in the early morning.
In the morning, the moist air seemed to be washed by mountain spring water, and every wisp was refreshing.
Mu Sijue looked at the time. It was already late, and they had to rush to the next place.
Xu Youning had clearly woken up just now, but he lay down again, obviously wanting to stay in bed.
Mu Sijue pinched Xu Youning's face and ordered, "Get up."
"It's not dawn yet." Xu Youning opened Mu Sijue's hand and buried his face in the pillow, "Don't make trouble."
Mu Sijue seemed to have been hit hard by something, his hand froze in mid-air, and the whole person was stunned for a moment.
It was clearly dawn, and a thin morning light could be vaguely seen on the distant hills. The world had ushered in a new day.
However, Xu Youning actually said in a daze that it was not dawn yet.
Has her world fallen into darkness?
Mu Sijue felt as if he was stabbed unexpectedly. His heart ached uncontrollably and even breathing hurt.
He lay down and gently hugged Xu Youning without saying anything.
If she still wants to sleep, let her sleep.
No matter what Xu Youning's world becomes, no matter what this world becomes, he will always be by Xu Youning's side.
Xu Youning really still wants to sleep. After feeling that Mu Sijue lay down, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Mu Sijue... is too silent.
Didn't he just order her to get up? Why is he silent now?
Xu Youning sat up and opened her eyes. It was still dark all around.
He pulled Mu Sijue blankly: "Why is it so dark? What time is it now? Should we turn on a light?"
"No." Mu Sijue sat up and said to Xu Youning face to face, "This is good."
"But this is too..."
Xu Youning wanted to say, but this is too dark, right? !
However, she suddenly realized something was wrong when she was only halfway through her words.
It was not like she had never experienced darkness before.
The darkness in front of her eyes was too dark and too thorough. It was the kind of darkness that was truly pitch black, as if the world had turned into purgatory and there would never be a ray of light again.
On ordinary nights, no matter how dark it was, you could always see something clearly.
But now, she could not see anything.
Xu Youning had a vague premonition.
Moreover, this premonition might have become a reality.
In an instant, Xu Youning felt like she was thrown into an extremely cold place, and a chill spread from the soles of her feet to the palms of her hands.
It was not the sky that was dark.
But her world was forever in darkness.
She finally could not see anything...
Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning's dimming eyes, and it was not difficult to guess that Xu Youning knew that he had lost his eyesight.
Song Jiqing and Ye Luo just told him that it would be soon.
He just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Mu Sijue hugged Xu Youning into his arms and gently stroked the back of her head: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xu Youning tried hard to adjust his emotions, trying to squeeze out a smile to reassure Mu Sijue, but in the end he couldn't control himself and squeezed out tears.
She clenched her hands into fists and cried quietly.
"Don't cry. Youning, don't cry." Mu Sijue hugged Xu Youning harder, as if to give her a harbor to rely on, "You still have me, I'm by your side."
"Mu Sijue..." Xu Youning choked and asked, "What should I do if I can't see you anymore?"
"No, definitely not." Musijue promised confidently, "On the day the child is born, Henry and Ji Qing will help you perform the surgery. You will get better and your eyesight will recover. Don't think about it. You will definitely be able to see it again after a while.”
Xu Youning nodded and tried to push back the tears.
In fact, even if Mu Sijue was by her side, even if Mu Sijue said he would accompany her, she was still at a loss.
Although her body has become increasingly frail in the past period of time, she still has the basic ability to take care of herself.
But now that she is blind, she is equivalent to being disabled.
If she wants to live without any accidents, she needs someone to take care of her.
She has to change her lifestyle and habits of more than 20 years and get used to a colorless and bright lifestyle.
Maybe she was too cowardly, she felt...this was really a terrible thing.
The only good thing was that she didn't have to hide her fear in front of Musijue.
Xu Youning hugged Mu Sijue, his voice trembling slightly: "Mu Sijue, I'm very scared..."
When she learned about her illness, she was afraid that it would not be cured and that she would not be able to keep her child. Therefore, she was more afraid of the future.
And now, there is a deep anxiety and uneasiness, like a person suddenly lost in the forest.
This feeling is no better than fear.
"Don't be afraid." Mu Sijue stroked Xu Youning's back and tried his best to give her the greatest comfort. "No matter what happens, I will be with you and we will face it together."
"..." Xu Youning nodded sluggishly, his emotions finally recovered, and asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's just dawn." Musijue looked at his watch, "It's half past six."
"Really?" Xu Youning felt a little regretful, "I didn't expect that I couldn't even see the sunrise today."
"Don't think blindly." Musijue said, "After you recover, you can watch the sunrise for the rest of your life."
Xu Youning tried his best to smile and said, "Mu Sijue, let's go back. I want to go home."
According to Musijue's original itinerary, they had one more place to go.
Xu Youning also quietly thought about whether that place would be a bigger surprise than the meteor shower.
However, now that things have become like this, she doesn't want to go anywhere, she just wants to return to the safest place.
Mu Sijue understood Xu Youning's mood, and of course he would not refuse her request at this time.
He let go of Xu Youning, stroked her face, held her hand, and said, "Okay, let's go home."
It is undeniable that Xu Youning feels at ease because of Mu Sijue's every move in detail.
Xu Youning's mood was no longer so bad. He tried hard to adjust his emotions so as not to worry Mu Sijue, and responded briskly: "Okay!"
After saying that, he jumped up with energy.
She forgot that this was a tent and the height was not as high as her.
When Mu Sijue wanted to stop him, it was already too late. He could only watch Xu Youning hit the tent support with a "bang" without hesitation. The whole process was extremely joyful.
"ah!"
Xu Youning yelled, but later he realized what a stupid thing he had done, and he was embarrassed to say anything again.
Unexpectedly, Mu Sijue remained silent.
Xu Youning thought for a while, reacted quickly, and kicked Mu Sijue accurately: "Don't think that because I can't see you, I don't know you are laughing!"
The corners of Musijue's lips raised slightly, and he said frankly: "I am indeed smiling."
"Why didn't you remind me?" Xu Youning rubbed his head, annoyed, "You know I can't see you!"
"You are too fast, I can't make it in time." Mu Sijue's tone was full of helplessness, and he directly picked up Xu Youning and said, "Let's go back."
After leaving the tent, Xu Youning smelled the morning air in the mountains.
Clean, refreshing, mixed with the faint fragrance of wild plants.
When she came here yesterday, she obviously couldn't smell anything.
Perhaps, as others have said, invisible people can hear more clearly and have a more sensitive sense of smell.
Xu Youning put his face against Mu Sijue's chest: "Looking at it this way, it's not a particularly bad thing that I can't see..."
