Chapter 665 - 315: Don’t Be Afraid, Aunt—I’m Blind

"He didn’t hurt you, did he hurt me instead?"

Ji Xueruo would never admit defeat, but she felt a suffocating pressure in her chest and couldn’t help but cough.

"Did you suffer an internal injury?" You Su asked quickly with concern.

"No problem." Ji Xueruo waved dismissively, but still carefully examined her internal condition.

"The island is fraught with dangers, it’s crucial not to act rashly. Miss Xueruo, if you’re injured, it’s best to treat it properly." You Su also got up, leaning against the stone wall.

"Who’s acting rashly?"

Ji Xueruo shot You Su a glance and pressed her hand against her heart.

She took a deep breath and realized she was indeed short of breath.

She usually preferred wearing loose dresses, her figure not apparent, but she was actually quite impressive among her peers, just like Ji Lingruo. This scale armor wasn’t tailor-made for her; it was a heirloom. Normally it felt a bit restrictive, but she could manage; now, feeling unwell, the slightly snug armor made her feel even more uncomfortable.

"As long as you’re not acting rashly, that’s good. I have some fine Great Derivation Elixir, it works wonders for restoring the meridians, you should take it quickly."

You Su enthusiastically took out a small blue and white jar from the Qiankun Bag and generously offered it.

Ji Xueruo pursed her lips but didn’t accept, "I have my own medicine."

She quickly took some water with the medicine and breathed evenly for over ten breaths.

Only when she opened her eyes did she notice You Su had been quietly watching her, his clear eyes seeming somewhat vacant.

He’s still blind...

As if remembering something, she took out the glasses from her chest and asked, "What kind of magical artifact is this?"

"It’s not a magical artifact, just something to shade the eyes from light." You Su reached out to take it back.

Ji Xueruo frowned, sensing something amiss, and pulled her hand back, deftly avoiding You Su’s hand:

"If you’re afraid of light, why haven’t I seen you wear it before?"

You Su’s mind quickly turned, "Before, these eyes were completely unseeing, after breaking through the Celestial Awakening, my eyes changed, they can faintly perceive light. Sometimes I find strong light too dazzling and started wearing these glasses."

"Glasses?"

Ji Xueruo didn’t doubt You Su’s words. She opened the temple arms and placed them on her tall nose bridge, and the colors of the things in her view indeed turned dim.

She took them off and, with curiosity, observed them for a while, then her expression turned serious.

You Su sensed something was amiss, "What’s wrong?"

"Did a woman give them to you?" Ji Xueruo’s voice was slightly dangerous.

You Su was baffled, really unsure how she could tell, so he said, "I bought it from a female cultivator."

If truth be told, he got it in exchange for rewards from the Celestial Awakening Spiritual Light.

"Bought?" Ji Xueruo coldly laughed, flipping the glasses over to reveal the inside of the left arm with a small, elegant ’Su’ character, "Which admirer sold you this, with a ’Su’ character carved in the artifact. Could it be that coincidentally her name also included Su?"

You Su’s eyebrows raised slightly, he had been wearing these sunglasses and hadn’t seen the letters on the temple arms, nor had he carefully examined them after taking them off.

He originally thought these sunglasses were a spontaneous gift from Qianhua’s pet dog, but didn’t expect that it was specifically prepared for him?

"I can’t see, maybe it was just a coincidence."

"Unrequited love?" Ji Xueruo flung the glasses back at You Su, "Mr. You sure is charming, with so many admirers."

You Su embarrassingly replied, "Miss Xueruo knows, I never liked standing out, always acting low-key, it truly is a coincidence."

"Whether it’s a coincidence is something you know in your heart, don’t break anyone else’s heart." Ji Xueruo pursed her pink lips, with little kindness in her tone, "One Lingruo is not enough, are you ready to harm another, your beautiful and exceptional senior sister, Mr. You preparing for a third?"

You Su naturally found himself at a disadvantage on this topic, but he understood how to counter strength with softness:

"It’s not preparation, I’ve already found the third, senior sister is the third. Does Miss Xueruo know who the second is?"

As he said this, his eyes burned as he stared at the girl in front of him, his gaze unwavering.

His tactic proved effective, the girl completely forgot they were discussing the origin of these glasses.

Ji Xueruo felt somewhat shy under his gaze, naturally, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to truly ask who the second person was.

The hundreds of reincarnations in the dream surged back from the depths of her memory, she turned her head slightly, feeling annoyed, actually being stared at by a blind person until she avoided eye contact.

"Have you forgotten your wager with me?" Ji Xueruo asked angrily.

How could You Su forget, outside the Jade Ring Pool, they parted with lingering emotions, the girl admitted her feelings for him, but also told him everything had to wait until things settled down.

He remembered it all, only wishing to help her sooner, before she could forget these feelings.

"Of course I remember."

"If you remember, then why are you saying such nonsense to provoke me?" Ji Xueruo said indignantly, "Are you planning to break the wager?"

"What nonsense? Since we met again, I haven’t mentioned those two words once, Miss Xueruo’s thoughts are beyond my control." You Su was somewhat innocent.

Those two words, of course, were "like."

Ji Xueruo took a deep breath, angered by the constraints of the scale armor that obstructed her breathing, which made her even angrier.

"Then why, when you have nothing else to do, send me letters every day? Including a poem every now and then, I’m very busy every day, you know!"
