"Really?" Upon hearing Brother Shouya's words, An Xin Ya's expression changed slightly, and her heart sank, feeling a bit sad and breathless. She then smiled and said, "That's great! It's a good thing that someone is pursuing you."
A man like Brother Shouya, who is refined, gentle, mature, and steady, should not lack for excellent and beautiful women! An Xin Ya thought to herself, feeling a bit flustered at that moment, unsure of what to do.
Shouya walked over to her side, placing his hands on her shoulders. His dark eyes held a gentle light as he looked at An Xin Ya and said, "They have pursued me, but I don't like them. I have only ever liked one person, and that person is you, An Xin Ya."
His heartfelt confession made An Xin Ya's cheeks, already flushed, turn even redder! She lowered her eyelids, her heart racing uncontrollably, and her face felt hot again!
At that moment, Grandma An came in with the vegetables she had just bought. Seeing her granddaughter Xinya's cheeks as red as a ripe apple brought her great joy; it seemed their relationship was developing well.
"Shouya, stay for dinner!" Grandma An said with a smile. She had intentionally chatted with the neighbors downstairs for a while to give them more time together.
"Sure." Shouya replied with a gentle smile. He thought about how he had just returned from New York and hadn't even had time to eat before rushing over to see An Xin Ya. "I haven't tasted Grandma's cooking in a long time; I really miss it."
This made Grandma An chuckle as she walked into the kitchen to start preparing.
Shouya glanced at An Xin Ya sitting on the sofa, his eyes filled with tenderness.
An Xin Ya tightly clutched her dress. Although she couldn't see him, she could feel a gaze fixed on her, making her flustered and causing her heart to race. Her palms began to sweat.
"I'll go check if Grandma needs any help," An Xin Ya suddenly stood up and stumbled into the kitchen.
Shouya quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm. "You sit down first; your eyes aren't well right now. How can you help Grandma? Let me handle it!"
Yes, Brother Shouya was right; with her eyes not functioning properly, how could she help Grandma? If she went in there, she'd probably just be chased out by Grandma anyway—she wouldn't be able to help but would only trouble her…
She had no choice but to obediently sit back down. Her beautiful eyes were vacant without focus as she stared straight ahead and said, "Brother Shouya, you're our guest; how can I let you go in and help?"
"Haha, there's nothing embarrassing about it!" Shouya laughed as he walked into the kitchen to assist Grandma An.
Seeing Shouya enter while busy in the kitchen made Grandma An smile. He was dressed in a white shirt and black suit, which accentuated his tall and handsome figure; however, there was an undeniable hint of fatigue on his face.
"How did you get in?" Grandma An asked while stir-frying.
"I'm here to help you," Shouya said with a smile.
"No need, I can manage on my own. You should go and keep Xinya company, go on!" Grandma An waved her hand, signaling him to leave. Besides, the smoke from the cooking was too heavy for him to be in here. After all, he was their guest and their savior; she should treat him well.
Once the dishes were ready, Grandma An brought them out one by one and placed them on the table.
Shouya looked at the table full of dishes, all looking delicious. He sniffed the aroma and praised Grandma An's cooking skills.
Regardless of whether he was sincere or not, Grandma An smiled happily and urged him to eat more. She then said, "You’ve lost a lot of weight after not seeing you for a few days. Have you been eating well over there?"
"Really? Maybe I've just been too busy with work!" Shouya replied nonchalantly while eating.
"Even if you're busy with work, you still need to eat. People are made of iron, and meals are steel!"
Quietly listening to their conversation, An Xinya felt a pang in her heart when she heard that Brother Shouya had lost weight. She then smiled gently at Shouya and said, "Brother Shouya, eat more!"
Hearing An Xinya say this made Shouya quite happy. He looked at her with gentle eyes and replied, "You should eat more too!"
Sitting nearby, Grandma An watched how close they were and felt very pleased!
After dinner, Shouya wanted to stay longer at the An family’s home to spend more time with An Xinya, but an urgent phone call came in, forcing him to leave.
As soon as Shouya left, Grandma An couldn't wait to ask An Xinya how things were developing between her and Shouya.
At this question from her grandmother, An Xinya's face turned bright red. She shyly said, "Grandma, please don’t ask! I need to go back to my room to study; I can't talk right now!"
An Xinya quickly got up, fumbled her way into her room, and closed the door to prevent her grandmother from suddenly coming in and asking her this or that. She really couldn't handle it!
Facing Brother Shouya's confession, An Xin Ya was very surprised. She had always harbored some feelings for him, but due to her eye condition, she lacked the courage to accept his love. With someone like her, she feared that she would only bring him trouble.
Thinking of this, An Xin Ya, sitting on the bed, couldn't help but furrow her brows. She truly didn't know what to do!
Originally, it was a sunny morning, but by ten o'clock, the sky suddenly became overcast and a heavy rain began to pour.
It happened to be Sunday, so An Xin Ya didn't have to attend Maria Music Training Class today. She stayed home alone to review her studies while listening to the sound of rain pattering against the window.
"Why is it raining so heavily today?"
An Xin Ya vaguely heard her grandmother complaining outside.
For some reason, she couldn't focus on her studies; thoughts of Brother Shouya's heartfelt confession from yesterday kept surfacing in her mind, leaving her both excited and helpless.
With such heavy rain today, he probably wouldn't come!
Sure enough, he didn't come to her house at all that day. Although An Xin Ya kept thinking about him, she felt it was better this way—avoiding an awkward encounter with him.
On this rainy Sunday, it continued to pour heavily.
After finishing breakfast with her grandmother, An Xin Ya was about to return to her room to study when suddenly there was a knock at the door. Her heart raced with each knock.
At that moment, her grandmother was washing dishes in the kitchen and heard the knocking as well, calling for Xinya to open the door.
An Xin Ya walked along the familiar path, feeling the wall with her hand as she approached the door and softly asked, "Who is it?"
"It’s me, Shouya." A deep and magnetic voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this voice, An Xin Ya felt a slight tremor in her heart, a mix of excitement and nervousness.
At that moment, Grandma An poked her head out from the kitchen and loudly asked who it was.
An Xin Ya turned her head slightly and replied that it was Brother Shouya. Then she opened the door, her lips curving into a gentle smile, her keen nose catching the unique scent of jasmine on him.
"Brother Shouya, what brings you here?" She hadn’t seen him yesterday and didn’t know what he had been busy with. As a doctor working at Mokani, he must have been extremely occupied. Because he hadn’t come yesterday, An Xin Ya couldn’t help but feel a longing for him. Now that he was here, she seemed reluctant to face him.
Shouya looked at An Xin Ya with a warm smile and said, "I had some time, so I came to see you."
He also brought gifts for Grandma An—some health supplements.
An Xin Ya was taken aback; she was very sensitive at the moment. Every word and phrase from Shouya touched her heart, making her anxious and unsure of how to respond.
Just then, Grandma An walked out of the kitchen. Seeing Shouya had arrived, she smiled and hurriedly invited him inside to sit down before going back to the kitchen to pour him a glass of water.
Grandma An said her usual line, "It’s enough that you came; you didn’t need to bring gifts. My health has improved a lot; I feel much stronger now," as she smiled while accepting the gifts from Shouya.
"Xinya, come sit down! Why are you just standing there?" Grandma An noticed her granddaughter standing there in a daze and walked over to guide her to sit next to Shouya.
An Xin Ya sat down feeling somewhat reserved, not as talkative as before.
Grandma An looked at the two of them with a smile. This moment belonged to them, so she felt it was best not to linger. She wanted to give them space and took the gifts back to her room.
"Xinya, I want to take you to the hospital for an eye check-up later," Shouya said when he noticed An Xin Ya was silent. He saw that she had taken the day off and hadn’t gone to Maria Music Training Class, so he planned to take her for an examination.
An Xin Ya didn’t respond immediately. She heard the sound of rain outside and knew there was a forecast for heavy rain today; going to the hospital seemed a bit inconvenient.
Last time, she had already undergone an examination and heard the doctor's words: there was only a twenty percent chance of success. Her confidence was shattered by that single statement.
Going for another check-up would yield the same result.
"Can we change the date?" An Xin Ya suddenly asked.
Shouya quietly looked at An Xin Ya's face, his brows furrowed with concern for her. He raised his head and walked to the window, gazing outside. The rain was pouring heavily, enveloping the entire town in water, making it inconvenient to go out.
"Then let's change it to another day!" Shouya respected her wishes, knowing she had reservations and that they couldn't rush her eye treatment.
They fell into silence again, with the rain intensifying outside, each lost in their thoughts...
"By the way, Brother Shouya, did you see Wushuang when you went back?" The oppressive silence made it hard for An Xin Ya to breathe. Suddenly, she smiled lightly and broke the stillness in the living room.
Shouya turned back and sat beside her again, his gaze gentle as he looked at An Xin Ya. "No, but I heard she had another argument with Lefas!"
"An argument? Why did they fight? Weren't they fine before? I saw her not long ago! She even told me that they had reconciled."
"Not long ago?" Shouya seemed to recall something, his brow furrowing as he looked at her questioningly. "When did you see Wushuang?"
"It was just two or three days ago! Since my eyes weren't convenient, I wanted to give you a gift but didn't know what to get. So I called Wushuang to ask for her help and arranged to meet her to choose a tie together," An Xin Ya explained after thinking for a moment.
So she went out with Wushuang to pick something out. Shouya lowered his gaze and smiled lightly. "Did you encounter anyone else that day?"
