An Xin Ya and Grandma An chatted for a long time in the hospital room, while Shouya went to the Attending Physician's office to inquire about Grandma An's condition. The Attending Physician informed him that her situation was stable and everything was fine.
Shouya nodded; as a doctor, he understood Grandma An's illness. It was discovered early, and the tumor was removed in time. As long as she stayed in the hospital for a few days for observation, she would be able to go home.
In addition, Shouya also asked about the issue of her blindness, wondering if her eye injuries could be treated so that she could see again.
The Attending Physician explained that it depended on the type of blindness. Some people are born with it, while others acquire it later; it all depends on how it was caused.
Although Shouya was a doctor, there were many aspects he needed to consult with other specialists about.
After thanking the Attending Physician, Shouya left the office and headed toward Grandma An's hospital room.
"Brother Shouya, where have you been?" With her keen hearing and strong intuition, An Xin Ya turned her face slightly and smiled as she recognized his familiar footsteps.
"Nowhere!" Shouya looked at An Xin Ya gently, admiring her beautiful eyes. He felt that life was unfair and cruel; it had given her a lovely appearance but taken away her sight.
He had just asked the Attending Physician about her blindness. It was not impossible to treat, but the process was very complicated, and the chances of restoring her sight were quite slim.
"I just had a long chat with Grandma! Afterward, she got a bit tired and fell asleep," An Xin Ya said with a bright smile. Before Brother Shouya returned, she had enjoyed talking with Grandma, but most of their conversation revolved around Brother Shouya, leaving her unsure how to respond. Once Grandma fell asleep, she sat quietly beside her, listening to her calm breathing, which helped soothe her own feelings.
"Well then, let's not disturb her. How about I take you home first?" Shouya said as he looked at Grandma An peacefully sleeping, a faint smile gracing her pale lips.
"But..."
"I know you want to stay with Grandma, but staying here won't help. It's better for you to go home. I'll come back tomorrow to take you to visit her," Shouya said while observing An Xin Ya's furrowed brow.
Indeed, Brother Shouya was right; staying wouldn't be helpful at all. She couldn't do anything and wouldn't be able to see anything. If something happened, she would likely panic and cause unnecessary trouble for the hospital.
However, thinking about how kind Brother Shouya was to help her made her feel somewhat guilty. She sincerely said, "I'm really sorry for troubling you like this!"
"This is not a problem at all," Shouya said gently, feeling honored to be able to help her.
He supported An Xin Ya as they walked out of the hospital, helped her into the passenger seat, and fastened her seatbelt, making everything revolve around her.
Then he drove her back to the small town and assisted her up to the second floor and into her home.
"Brother Shouya, thank you so much today!" An Xin Ya didn't know what else to say besides thank you. She really wanted to see what Brother Shouya looked like; he was so kind-hearted, gentle, and considerate, he must look good! She imagined in her mind what her Brother Shouya might look like.
Shouya lowered his head slightly, not saying anything, just hoping that An Xin Ya wouldn't be so distant and could see him as a friend.
Suddenly, something flashed through his mind, and Shouya said to An Xin Ya, "Wait for me a moment; I'll be right back!"
"Brother Shouya, what's wrong? Where are you going?" An Xin Ya tilted her head slightly, listening intently with her ears open. But she heard Shouya quickly walk out of the room, leaving her puzzled about what he was doing.
She quietly sat in the chair, waiting for Brother Shouya to return.
Twenty minutes passed, and Shouya came back with several bags filled with fresh vegetables and fruits. He huffed as he carried them into the kitchen.
An Xin Ya curiously followed the sound to the kitchen door, resting her hand on the doorframe, staring straight ahead. Hearing noises from the bags inside, she asked curiously, "Brother Shouya, what are you doing?"
"I just went to the supermarket and bought some vegetables and fruits, along with some pork ribs. You must be hungry; sit tight while I cook something for you," Shouya replied. He remembered that she had called him early today to take her to the hospital to visit her grandmother and had only had a bowl of soup there without any food. So he went downstairs to buy some things from a nearby supermarket.
"Brother Shouya, this..." An Xin Ya listened to him busying himself in the kitchen. Knowing that she couldn't help much due to her eyesight issues, she approached him and asked if he needed any assistance.
"No need; just sit there," Shouya said as he placed the vegetables into a basket and turned on the faucet to wash them.
Although cooking was typically considered a woman's task, Shouya often did it himself. Occasionally after leaving the hospital or Mokani, when he didn't want to eat out, he would prepare meals at home. So now, it was finally useful.
An Xin Ya had no choice but to return to her seat and listen to the sounds of him bustling around in the kitchen—the clattering of pots and pans...
An Xin Ya got up and groped her way to the window. The soft sunlight fell on her face, bringing a warm and ticklish feeling that was truly comfortable!
Half an hour later, Shouya had cooked several home-style dishes, and the rice was ready. He brought the dishes out one by one and placed them on the table. He noticed An Xin Ya standing by the window, looking thoughtful, and he was curious about what she was thinking at that moment. He walked over and said to her, "It's time to eat. Come try my cooking, okay?!"
An Xin Ya turned around and carefully walked over to sit down. The aroma of the dishes wafted in the air; she sniffed and smiled, saying, "Tomato stir-fry, stir-fried bacon with asparagus, stir-fried cucumber with shredded meat, and pork rib soup with radish..."
"Impressive! I didn't expect your sense of smell to be so keen that you could tell what I made right away. Amazing!" Shouya praised with a smile. He served a bowl of soup in front of An Xin Ya and reminded her to be careful as it was hot!
An Xin Ya cautiously sipped the soup and nodded, saying, "I didn't expect Brother Shouya's cooking skills to be this good! If possible, could you teach me someday..."
"Sure!" Shouya replied.
"But where can I learn? Don't forget that my eyesight is not good; I can't see anything at all. I wouldn't even know how to use a knife, and I'd end up hurting myself..." An Xin Ya frowned slightly and said with distress. She wished she could cook delicious food in the kitchen like other girls, but she couldn't and didn't have the ability to learn.
"Have you never heard the saying that where there’s a will, there’s a way? As long as you have confidence, you can achieve it," Shouya comforted and encouraged her. He promised himself that he would make sure to heal An Xin Ya's eye injury and take good care of her.
"Mm!" Hearing Brother Shouya say this made An Xin Ya's mood brighten from a dark place to a sunny one as she continued sipping her soup.
Meanwhile, Shouya helped her pick up food with a gentle glimmer in his eyes as he quietly watched An Xin Ya eat.
It turned out that watching someone you like do certain things could be such a beautiful and happy experience!
No wonder Lefas and Sharl had both fallen in love; now it seemed it was his turn as well—he was about to fall into the trap of love.
After finishing the meal, Shouya got up to clear the dishes and took them into the kitchen to wash them while also tidying up the kitchen.
When he walked out of the kitchen, An Xin Ya was sitting on the chair with her ear slightly tilted, a graceful smile curving her lips as she said, "Thank you, Brother Shouya. If one day my eyesight gets better, I will cook some delicious food for you."
"Sounds great!" Shouya walked in front of her, then squatted down and looked up at this beautiful girl before him with gentle eyes. He really wanted to reach out and gently touch her face, but he couldn't because such a sudden move might scare her. After all, she wasn't very familiar with him yet.
Shouya stayed at An Xin Ya's house until nine o'clock in the evening before driving away. That night, he was not as restless as the previous night and slept quite soundly.
The next morning, Shouya woke up early and hurried downstairs to drive straight to An Xin Ya's house.
“Xinya, are you there? It's Brother Shouya!” On the way, Shouya bought a steaming roll, a Chinese snack he picked up from Chinatown.
“Brother Shouya, why did you come so early?” An Xin Ya, just waking up and getting dressed in her room, heard the knocking and recognized the voice of Brother Shouya. A sunny smile blossomed on her face as she groped her way to open the door.
Upon seeing An Xin Ya, Shouya's dark eyes sparkled. He smiled and lifted the breakfast he had bought from the street, asking, “Guess what delicious thing I brought for you?”
Entering the house, Shouya placed the breakfast on the table and looked around her home, which was a bit messy. He understood, as Grandma An was currently in the hospital and her eyesight was not good, so he took it upon himself to tidy up a little.
The air was filled with a fragrant aroma. An Xin Ya sniffed and frowned slightly, guessing for a long time but unable to figure it out. Finally, she asked Shouya: “Brother Shouya, I can't guess what it is! But it smells really good!”
Her face showed innocent curiosity, her beautiful eyes gazing straight ahead, reflecting Shouya's figure.
Shouya walked over, helped her sit down, opened the food container, and a wave of vegetable and meat aromas wafted over, making one's mouth water. He broke apart a pair of chopsticks and placed them in her hands, saying, “This is what I bought for you to try—some snacks from China called roll powder.”
“China, that's my hometown!” Mentioning China made An Xin Ya think of many childhood memories, fragments of her past flashing through her mind.
“I thought you were born in Las Vegas!” Shouya looked at her in surprise; he had never known enough about her and assumed she grew up here. Looking at her profile, he admired her graceful features and the gentle smile at the corner of her mouth.
