It rained in H City in the evening.

  Meng Ting didn't look back again. She turned around, her heart racing. For the first time, she realized that some things may change, but fate still moves steadily towards its original trajectory.

  "Does she know him?"

  Meng Ting remained silent for a long time. Shu Yang glanced at her and didn't ask anything else.

  When they arrived at the hospital, there was still a one-hour wait in line.

  Dr. Meng Ting's attending physician is an acquaintance who came from the same town as her mother and was also a junior high school classmate.

  "Aunt Sun."

  Sun Qiaoyu took off her medical mask to reveal a gentle smile, removed her glasses and let Meng Ting lie on the hospital bed, then shone a light to examine her eyes.

  Meng listened uncomfortably and blinked, tears physiologically secreted out.

  Her eyes were a light color, not purely black, nor the usual brown, but rather a shallow tea color. Like rainwater washing clean, they were clear and transparent.

  Shu Yang was originally standing at the door with an air of being uninvolved, and Sun Qiaoyu didn't bother to be polite to him either.

  "Hey kid, come over and help me polish this."

  Shu Yang walked over and took the light source from her hand.

  He lowered his head and was stunned for a moment.

  In the girl's crystal-like eyes, there were sparkling lights printed by the lamp. Her skin was white and delicate, her lip color was cherry blossom pink. Her long eyelashes were covered with mist, as light as butterfly wings, but her eyes were quiet and peaceful.

  For three years, Shu Yang saw Meng Ting for the first time after he had grown up.

  He was as impressed by Meng's ten-year-old Shulan as he was.

  At that time, his parents had been divorced for a year. Shu's father was not very good at taking care of the children, and both children were dirty and unkempt. Shu Yang had a cold, with a red nose. The clothes on his body had not been changed for five days, and there was a stain on the collar.

  Shulan is no better off either, with dirty pockets all over his clothes.

  Because that day was the day when Zeng Yujie officially moved to Shu's house, Mr. Shu felt embarrassed and carefully changed into new clothes for the two children.

  Zeng Yujie was leading Meng Ting into the house at that time.

  Shulan and Shuyang, who were watching TV, were both stunned.

  Dad had carefully dressed them up, but it was still hard to describe the feeling of seeing Meng Ting for the first time.

  She held Zeng Yujie's hand, with a similar anxiety about the future on her face.

  A ten-year-old girl doll wearing a sky blue skirt, with hair draped over her shoulders. White stockings and black patent leather shoes. The skirt is clean and tidy, the face is tender and beautiful.

  Yes, beautiful.

  Not used to describe the cuteness of children, but a kind of beauty that is about to bloom. Like the young dragonflies in early summer, lightly falling on the tip of the grass. A delicate and fragile beauty.

  She saw her brother and sister staring at her with their mouths agape, under Zeng Yujie's encouragement, she stretched out her small hand, smiling shyly: "Hello brothers and sisters, my name is Meng Ting."

  Shulan hastily stretched out her hand and shook it.

  Shu Yang stupidly wiped his dirty little hand on the back of his clothes and gently grasped the girl's hand.

  It's white and soft, with cute dimples on the back of the hand.

  Like cotton.

  After Meng walked away, Shu Lan leaned in close to his ear: "Brother, she's really beautiful."

  He nodded silently.

  Shulan said: "I wish I looked as good as you."

  Xu Yang didn't say anything.

  "Brother, snot is about to come out, eh, so dirty."

  Shu Yang felt extremely embarrassed for the first time and wanted to dig a hole to bury himself.

  When Meng Ting was fourteen years old, something happened to his eyes.

  This did not affect Shu Yang's life at all, but the delicate and beautiful girl wore a clumsy Braille blindfold. She had to rely on her cane when walking, and her world was pitch black.

  Sometimes walking on the road will make people look at you like they're watching a show.

  Gradually, the entire residential building forgot about Meng Ting. That beautiful and dazzling girl. Including Shu Yang, it was also difficult to associate the current quiet and introverted sister with the little fairy-like Meng Ting from back then.

  Until today, he held onto a beam of light and saw her grown-up appearance.

  She is seventeen years old.

  He had grown into a sight that made Shu Lan jealous to the point of heartache, and was even more handsome than he could have imagined back then. Shu Yang didn't know what feelings were in his heart, and silently shifted his gaze away.

  Sun Qiaoyu said discontentedly: "Young man, be serious, you're biased."

  Xu Yang raised his hand slightly.

  After the examination, Sun Qiaoyu smiled with satisfaction: "Listen, congratulations. Your eyes have recovered and you don't need to wear glasses anymore."

  Shu Yang looked at Meng Ting for a moment, but didn't say anything.

  Meng Ting didn't expect it to happen so soon either.

  She was supposed to recover in half a month last time, but after careful consideration, she understood the key. Last time during this period, she cleaned up many messy things for Shulan and almost got a second infection in her eyes. This life didn't bother with Shulan, her eyes were well protected, so naturally they healed quickly.

  However... all her bad luck started after she recovered from her eye injury.

  Meng said: "Auntie Sun, my eyes still hurt when I see strong light."

  "Of course, after wearing glasses for so long, I'm used to a gray and white world. My eyes can't take the stimulation, and suddenly seeing light would be unbearable. So now I have to learn to accept this new world without relying on them. I'll prescribe two bottles of eye drops, but still be careful not to overuse your eyes. If they still hurt, just rest for a bit. In short, slowly adapt, and if there's any problem, come find me anytime."

  Sun Qiaoyu's words changed her world.

  There is a very large paulownia tree outside the hospital.

  Early winter, this old tree shed a lot of leaves, but the crown still stubbornly hung with emerald green leaves. The brown branches supported the winter leaves, and Meng seemed to smell the faint scent of grass and mud in the medicinal water.

  The sky is a brilliant blue, with not a cloud in sight. This is a rare gentle and sunny day in winter.

  Meng Ting's world turned colorful again.

  She and Shu Yang have come this far, with people casting glances at them along the way. The 17-year-old girl has fully blossomed into a stunning beauty that draws attention.

  Meng Ting walked out of Sun Qiaoyu's line of sight, looked at the sky and the grass, let out a soft sigh, and then took out his glasses from his bag and put them back on.

  Shu Yang didn't think much of it and thought her eyes just weren't used to it yet, so they hurt again after a while.

  ~

  The weather in November, even with thin sunlight, still has a lingering chill in the air that's hard to describe.

  He Junming and Fang Tan, in the end, neither of them dared to go find Jiang Ren.

  He Han gave He Junming a signal, and He Junming understood, went to the milk tea shop to buy a cup of hot tea.

  After a long time, Jiang Ren walked over from afar.

  That intense and terrifying emotion receded from him like a tide, leaving him unusually silent.

  He Junming handed up milk tea: "Ning Ge, have some water."

  The cold air enters the lungs, a heart-piercing pain.

  Jiang Ren reached out and took it, looking at them without saying a word from head to toe. Among these young people, some were his childhood playmates, or friends he had made after being sent to H City.

  But at this moment, a hint of awkwardness and evasion flashed in their eyes.

  Only He Junming was as silly as a fool, with no resentment in his eyes: "I didn't let them add that black stuff, hehe, Brother Nian can drink with peace of mind."

  Jiang Ren patted his shoulder and said nothing.

  He is much more clever than Fang Duan.

  When Jiang Ren first came to H City, countless people fawned on him. He sneered and laughed: "Aren't you afraid that I'll get sick and die on you?"

  It's not scary to say, but severe Tourette's syndrome sounds like just a term, nobody has seen it, and there is no such frightening tremor. Jiang Ren waves his hand, and a group of people rush to give their lives for him. Those who can't get close to him will grab this point and mock him with a sour tone, "Hey, he's just a rich neurotic, what's the big deal."

  They realized for the first time that Jiang Ren really couldn't control his emotions.

  If the car had stopped at that time, I don't know what would have happened.

  He Junming and Jiang Nianzhen drew near.

  They rode their bikes home together.

  He Junming said: "Nige's emotions are unstable, or I'll take it."

  Jiang gave him a cold glance. His eyes clearly said, "Get out of here, I'm a man."

  He put on his helmet, swung his long legs over the motorcycle and pulled on his jacket.

  As soon as he looked up, he bumped into an acquaintance.

  Shen Yuqing was holding hands with a boy, chatting and laughing. The boy was also wearing the school uniform of No. 7 Middle School. She felt someone watching her, turned around, and saw Jiang Ren.

  Her face turned white and then green, in short, it was very wonderful. She let go of the boy and ran over to Jiang Nian.

  He Junming snorted with disdain: "Oh, Shen Da's campus belle has a new love?" So, he said that Lu Yue was still better. He Junming originally thought that with Jiang Ren's personality, she wouldn't even glance at her.

  But unexpectedly, Jiang Ren didn't leave.

  Under the helmet, a pair of black eyes quietly watched Shen Yuqing walk over.

  "Jiang Ren, listen to me, I have nothing to do with him. We have a monthly exam coming up and he borrowed some books from me, that's all."

  Jiang Nian glanced at the boy's No. 7 Middle School uniform and then looked down at Shen Yuqing: "We're from No. 7 Middle School, aren't we not allowed to fall in love early? Why are you talking about love."

  Shen Yuqing said: "Because I really like it, nothing else matters."

  Jiang Ren unexpectedly quieted down for a few seconds, "What do you like about him, good grades?"

  Shen Yuqin was stunned for a long time before hurriedly saying it wasn't. She suddenly felt that Jiang Ren seemed to be asking her, but also didn't seem like he was asking her. It all felt like he was looking through her, asking about another possibility. She couldn't understand, and took the opportunity to say a few more sentences about how much she liked Jiang Ren.

  Jiang Ren didn't say anything and drove away.

  In the sound of the wind, He Junming said: "Nin brother, you still have feelings for her, why bother with that kind of flirtatious woman? She's not as good as Lu Yueliang, and Shen Yuqing isn't like what she said."
