"I have never been to Japan, but China is my hometown. Before I turned six, I lived in an orphanage in Beijing until my Foster Parents adopted me and brought me to Las Vegas!" Xinya is also Chinese, so she feels a deep connection whenever China is mentioned.
Yan Wushuang had never known about Xinya's background. After hearing her speak, she couldn't help but feel curious. "Xinya, so that grandmother isn't your biological grandmother?"
Xinya nodded and slowly recounted her experiences. "After I was taken to Las Vegas by my Foster Parents at the age of six, it was because their work was here. When they returned to China that year, it was just to bring my grandparents over. My Adoptive Mother was unwell and unable to have children, which is why they adopted me from the orphanage. They treated me very well and even changed my name to An Xin Ya. Our family of five was very happy until I had a car accident when I was sixteen. My Foster Parents died in that traffic accident, and I suffered severe injuries. I had a high fever that wouldn't go down, and the hospital even tried to give up on me, but I survived. However, I lost my sight after that..."
"After my Foster Parents passed away, it was just me and my grandparents relying on each other. Fortunately, before they passed away, my Foster Parents had bought two stores that provided us with monthly rent income. The insurance company also compensated us a large sum of money, along with consolation money from my Foster Parents' company, which made life manageable for my grandparents and me over the past few years. Last year, my grandfather also passed away, leaving just me and my grandmother."
Recalling her childhood memories brought tears to Xinya's eyes.
Yan Wushuang tightly held Xinya's hand, surprised by her story. A kind and beautiful girl lost her parents in a car accident, and Heaven cruelly took away her sight as well. Why is Heaven so unfair? Why do good people always suffer? Could it be that they committed too many sins in their past lives?
"Xinya, you need to be strong; don't let your grandmother see you cry. Don't forget that besides your grandmother, you also have me, Yezi, and Brother Shouya. We will all help you. I'm sure Brother Shouya will find a way to restore your sight." The two sad girls smiled bravely at the future while hiding their own pain.
An Xin Ya nodded, wiped away her tears, and continued speaking to Wushuang with a smile: "Actually, I'm really happy to know you all. Ever since I lost my sight at sixteen, I haven't gone back to school. The few friends I made at the Beijing orphanage gradually drifted apart after we started working; some I can't even contact anymore. So I've felt very lonely without any friends. If it weren't for the chance encounter with Brother Shouya that day, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet you and Yezi!"
Yan Wushuang also wiped away her tears after hearing Xinya's story. She felt grateful for having been loved by her father since childhood and cared for by General Longze. Without everything that followed, Yan Wushuang would have been the happiest person in the world!
Throughout the night, the two chatted continuously, sharing their buried feelings with each other and unknowingly becoming best friends.
Early in the morning, An Xin Ya woke up early as usual. Although she still felt sleepy, she insisted on getting up to buy breakfast for her grandmother—this routine never changed.
Just a few steps outside, Yan Wushuang ran out behind her and shouted, "Xinya, wait for me! I'll go with you!"
Hearing the shout, An Xin Ya stopped in place and turned around to wait for her.
"I'll go with you; let's go!" Yan Wushuang quickly caught up with her and took her hand as they walked together along the small street.
"Why didn't you sleep a bit longer? We talked so late last night; you must be tired!" She remembered hearing Yan Wushuang's steady breathing as she fell asleep behind her; how could she be out so quickly?
"It's okay! I've been hiding at your house this whole week without stepping out the door. After talking with you last night, I feel much better today. Why should I be sad for him? I'm not the one who made mistakes; why should I punish myself? So I've realized that if he cares about me at all, he would come back for me. Besides, I've heard that woman is already dead; there's no need for me to hold any grudges against someone who's gone, right?" It seemed like just one night had transformed her completely into a different person standing before Xinya.
"Well... I support you! Since it's all in the past now, let it stay there. Even if you want to live at my house forever, I'll welcome you with open arms! That way, I won't feel lonely anymore!" The two laughed as they walked together; it seemed last night's heart-to-heart talk had helped them both release their burdens.
On the familiar little street, An Xin Ya and Yan Wushuang attracted quite a few glances as they appeared together—especially from men heading to work who couldn't help but look back at them multiple times.
Today, the young male clerk at the Bakery was slightly taken aback when he saw Yan Wushuang. Xinya could already be considered a great beauty, but her eyes were impaired; otherwise, with her looks, she would have been married off long ago.
Yan Wushuang's appearance was even more striking than Xinya's, exuding a noble and elegant aura that made her seem like a naturally born noble lady.
On the way back, Xinya teased her all the way. Although she couldn't see, she sensed the clerk's slow reaction. She truly hoped that one day she could open her eyes and see what her good friend looked like.
Perhaps having temporarily cast aside the shackles in her heart, Yan Wushuang was in an exceptionally good mood today, chatting and laughing with Xinya as they slowly walked back.
In the distance, a somewhat out-of-control Sports Car was speeding towards them from behind, causing quite a stir among the crowd, who screamed in fright... Ah!
Yan Wushuang and Xinya heard the noise and turned around abruptly to look back. Xinya's eyes remained shrouded in darkness, and the screams around her made her panic; she had no idea what was happening.
Yan Wushuang saw a Red Sports Car swerving awkwardly towards them, having already injured several people along the way, yet the Sports Car showed no signs of stopping.
"Xinya, hurry up and move!" She grabbed Xinya's hand and they retreated to the corner of the sidewalk.
Inside the Red Sports Car, a Blonde Man with bloodshot eyes was struggling to drive his vehicle recklessly down the road. Since it was still early, there were no traffic police on duty to stop him.
In his drunken haze, he vaguely spotted two beautiful Eastern girls ahead. Just seeing them from afar made him feel excited; he pressed down on the accelerator and sped towards the two pretty girls.
Yan Wushuang glanced back at the car that was accelerating towards them, getting closer without any intention of slowing down. Seeing that there were no vehicles passing on either side of the road, Yan Wushuang felt a surge of panic and pushed Xinya outward...!
"Ah... ah!" Two screams rang out simultaneously...
The Red Sports Car stopped at the spot where Yan Wushuang had just been standing. An Xin Ya was suddenly pushed out by Yan Wushuang and fell into the middle of the street, completely unaware of what had just happened.
"Wushuang... Wushuang... where are you? What happened?" An Xin Ya felt for her cane on the ground and stumbled to her feet. She called out several times but received no response from Wushuang.
"Hurry... there's been an accident..." Bystanders who had just regained their senses rushed forward to help.
Upon hearing the words "car accident," An Xin Ya's mind suddenly conjured up images of what had just occurred: Wushuang had pushed her away forcefully because a car was coming from behind. But dragging along a blind person like herself meant there was no way to escape the car's speed.
"Wushuang... Wushuang..." She moved toward the voices of people nearby, tears streaming from her beautiful eyes filled with sorrow. She felt so much hatred—hatred for being blind at such a moment when she couldn't help her best friend.
Yan Wushuang lay on the ground with multiple abrasions on her body and blood flowing from her head, unconscious. The man in the Sports Car sat inside with a dazed expression, seemingly unaware of what had happened. Just moments ago, he had seen beautiful women right in front of him; as he pressed down on the accelerator and looked up again, they had vanished?
"Please, please help me, take my friend to the hospital, okay? I'm begging you..." An Xin Ya rushed through the crowd, crouching down to search for Wushuang's location. When she felt that familiar palm, she knew for sure that the injured person was Wushuang.
Kind-hearted bystanders helped lift Wushuang and prepared to flag down a car to take her to the hospital for emergency treatment. Meanwhile, the drunken perpetrator was surrounded by onlookers, waiting for the police to handle him.
Shouya came to Xinya's house every day to see Wushuang. Seeing so many people gathered ahead, it seemed something had happened. As he got closer, he spotted Xinya crying with tear-streaked cheeks, and beside her was a middle-aged man holding the injured Wushuang in his arms...?
"Xinya... what happened?" He parked the car in front of them and urged them to get in quickly.
Upon hearing Shouya's voice, Xinya felt as if she had found a lifeline and became extremely agitated.
The kind-hearted bystander opened the car door, allowing the middle-aged man to place Wushuang inside. Xinya followed closely beside, her mind in chaos, unsure of where to start explaining.
Seeing that Xinya was too anxious to speak, the kind middle-aged man took over and answered her question: "A red sports car came rushing towards these two young ladies just now. The injured one pushed the other out of the way to avoid the car, but unfortunately, this young lady couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the vehicle."
"Thank you... please help stop her bleeding; we'll be at the hospital soon!" Shouya pressed on the accelerator, speeding towards the hospital.
Xinya sat helplessly beside Wushuang, while the kind bystander hurriedly worked to stop the bleeding from Wushuang's head injury...
"Ding..." Rafas lay on his hospital bed handling some company documents. His surgery was only on his face and did not affect his work capability at all.
Seeing that Shouya was calling him, Rafas knew it must be about Wushuang. For the past few days, Shouya had been updating him on Wushuang's condition. His requests were quite obsessive; he wanted to know how much water Wushuang drank, what she ate, how many times she smiled, and when she showed signs of unhappiness. He required Shouya to report everything back to him.
