Chapter 356: Chapter 356: So What If You See It?

"You’re the new neighbors who just moved in!?" Xiaoqiao was surprised to hear the man’s words.

"Yeah, I hope we can take care of each other in the future."

"Take care of each other!"

"By the way, I just bought groceries, why don’t you stay and have lunch with us?" Xiaoqiao invited.

Because of this news, Xiaoqiao’s mood immediately lightened up.

Living so close, she thought they should be able to frequently see the little one!

She received the expected invitation.

Gu Hangshen naturally wouldn’t decline, "Then I’ll be troubling you."

The little one saw the adults still talking and became impatient, running over to grab both their hands, "Daddy, Mommy! Xiao Nian is so hungry!"

Being called like this in front of someone else’s daddy, Xiaoqiao felt somewhat embarrassed.

Gu Hangshen patted the little one’s head and looked at Xiaoqiao, "Sorry, could you... let him call us that for now?"

Xiaoqiao understood his feelings and nodded.

She wondered where the little one’s real mommy could be!

Probably it was a sad story of his, so Xiaoqiao did not pry further.

－

They entered the house.

With both Daddy and Mommy around, the little guy was exceptionally excited, at one moment playing joyfully with Cola, and the next dashing into the kitchen to twirl around them, seeking affection.

"I’ll do it." Gu Hangshen took the kitchen knife from her hand.

Xiaoqiao wiped her hands, "Even though I can’t see, I can still take care of the fish!"

After saying that, she murmured to herself, "Actually, if I could see, I probably wouldn’t dare to do it!"

"Afraid of blood?"

"Yeah." Xiaoqiao nodded, "After going blind, I was spared a lot of things, a lot of things I didn’t want to see... I can’t see them anymore."

Yet, what difference would seeing make? Gu Hangshen didn’t ask.

Strange, she thought, why am I telling all this to a stranger? Xiaoqiao shook her head to shift the conversation, "Can you cook? Japanese men don’t seem to spend much time in the kitchen, do they?"

"A little."

"Your voice sounds strange."

Gu Hangshen’s hand trembled, and he cut his finger with the knife edge without even noticing.

Gu Hangshen cleared his throat, hiding his embarrassment, "What’s strange about it?"

"It’s very hoarse! Are you maybe catching a cold?"

Gu Hangshen sighed in relief, "A little."

"I have some medicine here."

"No need." Gu Hangshen felt his response too rigid and hurriedly added, "I’ve already taken some."

"Oh."

"By the way, I haven’t asked for your name?"

"...My surname is Ren."

"Mr. Ren, do I look a lot like your wife?"

"Yes. But she had long hair."

"Really? I used to have long hair too!"

Xiaoqiao hadn’t really given it much thought or suspicion, reasoning that her appearance must have changed a lot; resembling her current self didn’t mean she resembled her past self.

She never considered that the person said to resemble her now was actually her past self.

"Why did you cut it?"

This was a question Gu Hangshen had always wanted to ask.

Because he knew how much she loved and cherished her hair.

She used to always get annoyed when he touched her hair, complaining that he messed it up.

"Because I can’t see, having long hair often caught on things. So, I had to cut it."

An unusually realistic and truthful answer.

"Why... did you become blind?"

Hiding behind a stranger’s identity, he dared to ask this question.

Noticing her visibly gloomier expression, Gu Hangshen’s heart contracted sharply, "Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked."
