Chapter 97: Chapter 95 I’m Not Blind Chapter 97: Chapter 95 I’m Not Blind …

Perhaps influenced by Gao Yin, that night Sheng Xian had a very long dream.

In the end, he dreamt of the restroom in the Beijing Grand Hotel.

“How can there be someone like you in this world?”

“Sheng Xian, you’re truly disgusting.”

At first, it was Gao Yin’s face, but then it turned into someone else’s, and then many others.

Their eyes looked at him, some with tears, some with hatred, some with dissatisfaction, and others with disdain and disgust.

They were all talking, their words largely similar.

“Trampling on others’ affections, does that make you feel accomplished?”

“She truly liked you. Even if you didn’t like her, you should have shown her respect. Your attitude is what’s truly disgusting.”

“See that? Him, don’t be fooled by his good looks; he’s actually very bizarre.”

“Even if you don’t like the girl, you shouldn’t react like this. What’s wrong with this guy?”

“Exactly, what’s wrong with him? He has the nerve to disgust others, what a jerk.”

“…”

Sheng Xian lay in bed with a furrowed brow, his forehead covered in sweat.

Those voices lingered in his ears for a long time; he wanted to escape, but he couldn’t.

His breathing grew heavier, his chest rising and falling sharply.

He struggled to wake himself from the dream, but he just couldn’t open his eyes.

He gradually started to feel short of breath.

Just when he thought he would suffocate in this bottomless nightmare, someone grabbed his arm: “Don’t be afraid.”

It felt like a dream within a dream.

That voice was very light and soft, but it easily pierced through the noisy clamor.

“Don’t be afraid, Little Fish is with you.”

“Little Fish is with you, don’t be afraid.”

The voices in the dream that he couldn’t shake off shattered to pieces.

His dream slowly became quiet, and he drifted deeply into sleep.

The next morning, Sheng Xian was woken up by the phone ringing.

It was Zhuang Chen calling.

While answering the phone, he sat up in bed, propping himself up on his arm.

Zhuang Chen spoke hurriedly on the other end: “Asheng, how are you? I drank too much last night and went straight to sleep when I got home, didn’t see your message.”

Zhuang Chen seemed to have just woken up, with sounds tinkling in the background: “I’ll wash my face and come over, wait for me.”

Still groggy from sleep, Sheng Xian’s brain was a bit slow to react. After two seconds, he remembered that he had sent Zhuang Chen a message the previous night when he felt at his worst. Clearing his throat, he said, “I’m fine.”

“What?”

“You don’t need to come over.” Fearing Zhuang Chen wouldn’t believe him, Sheng Xian repeated, “I’m fine.”

Zhuang Chen quieted a bit on the other end: “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yeah.” Sheng Xian ran his hand through his hair, finally waking up fully.

He felt the vibration of the phone at his ear and switched it to speaker mode.

Lu Jingyan had woken up as well and sent him a message: “Brother, good morning.”

Zhuang Chen’s voice came through the phone: “No, I still want to come over to see you. I’m not reassured.”

As Sheng Xian tapped the screen to reply with a good morning to Lu Jingyan, he said absentmindedly, “No need.”

“Are you really okay? How can you be okay? Did you take the sedative I prescribed for you?”

Zhuang Chen fired off several questions in a row. During this time, another message from Lu Jingyan came in: “Brother, did you sleep well last night?”

…Brother slept quite well.

As Sheng Xian listened to Zhuang Chen speak, he typed out that response without thinking much and looked at the words “brother” he had typed. After hesitating for a moment, he didn’t delete it and hit send.

“Asheng, are you listening to me? Asheng?”

Sheng Xian responded perfunctorily: “I heard you.”

After two seconds, seeing that Lu Jingyan hadn’t replied, he asked, “What did you just say?”

Zhuang Chen: “…”

Sheng Xian grunted affirmatively, remembering: “I didn’t take the sedative.”

Zhuang Chen was taken aback: “You didn’t take the sedative, how did you get better?”

Sheng Xian refreshed WeChat sporadically, still not receiving a reply from Lu Jingyan.

Zhuang Chen: “Or could it be that my recent psychotherapy has been effective?”

Sheng Xian twitched an eyelid, “It’s not that.”

Lu Jingyan still hadn’t replied, and the top of the screen didn’t even show “the other person is typing.”

“What’s not what?” Zhuang Chen, seeing Sheng Xian take ages to spit out a sentence, was extremely impatient, “Can’t you say it all in one breath? Early in the morning here, making a person so choked up they can’t even pee.”

Sheng Xian thought, are you sick or what, calling me while you’re in the bathroom.

Without waiting for Zhuang Chen to speak, he hung up directly.

After two seconds, he dialed a number.

It rang several times before it was picked up.

“Hello?”

Hearing Lu Jingyan’s voice, Sheng Xian suddenly choked up.

Seeing that she hadn’t replied to his messages for a while, he hadn’t thought much and just made a call, but he actually didn’t have anything to say…

“Sheng Xian?”

Sheng Xian came back to his senses, “What are you doing?”

“Just washed my face.”

So she hadn’t replied to his messages because she was washing her face.

As Sheng Xian was thinking, Lu Jingyan spoke again, “Did you call for a reason?”

Sheng Xian hesitated for a moment, “…Um, I just suddenly remembered something I forgot to say to you.”

“What’s that?”

“Thank you.” Sheng Xian paused, “Last night was too chaotic, I forgot to say thank you to Little Fish.”

Lu Jingyan probably didn’t expect Sheng Xian to say thank you, perhaps out of habit, or maybe because it felt unnatural, she responded stiffly, “You’re welcome.”

Sheng Xian let out a faint snicker.

Lu Jingyan’s ears tingled a bit from his laughter, and she wanted to hang up, but thinking of his condition last night, she couldn’t help but ask softly, “Brother, what happened to you last night?”

After Lu Jingyan went home, she thought it over and felt that Sheng Xian probably wasn’t recalling some horrifying events; at the Beijing Grand Hotel, it seemed more like he had bumped into someone.

Lu Jingyan paused, then asked, “Did you run into someone scary?”

Sheng Xian followed her line of thought and said, “Yeah, I ran into someone scary.”

Sheng Xian rarely talked about his own issues with others. He had only started to share some things with Zhuang Chen after deciding to seek treatment.

But for some reason, right now, he felt like telling her, “Though, brother is afraid of quite a lot of people.”

“…” Lu Jingyan was a bit perplexed, with the first thought coming to her mind being those gangster movies she watched as a kid, “Did you use to be in the underworld?”

Sheng Xian was stunned for a moment, quickly realizing what she meant, and couldn’t help but laugh again.

He thought about it, knowing he wouldn’t be able to clarify those issues by following her words right away, so he brushed past them, “Let’s go have food.”

After hanging up, Sheng Xian leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the phone that kept vibrating throughout the call.

Zhuang Chen: “Who were you calling?”

Zhuang Chen: “You better make things clear to me.”

Zhuang Chen: “Don’t you have any manners? You hung up before finishing the conversation.”

Sheng Xian: “Not interested.”

Zhuang Chen: “Not interested in what?”

Sheng Xian: “Not interested in listening to you broadcast your bathroom break.”

Zhuang Chen: “…”

Zhuang Chen: “Fuck.”

Zhuang Chen: “Back when we were in school and went to the bathroom together, why didn’t you say you weren’t interested?”

Zhuang Chen: “It’s not like I haven’t seen it all before.”

Sheng Xian: “…”

Sheng Xian resisted the urge to block Zhuang Chen, and instead mentioned a serious matter, “Go and apologize to her for me.”

Zhuang Chen: “Apologize to who?”

Zhuang Chen: “Gao Yin?”

Zhuang Chen: “I think there’s really no need, didn’t she also say some unpleasant things to you last night?”

Zhuang Chen: “Sigh, never mind, I’ll go. If I don’t, you will have to do it yourself anyway. You, let me tell you, you’re just too nice.”

Sheng Xian looked at the messages Zhuang Chen sent, was silent for a while, didn’t reply, and exited the chat.

He always felt it was his fault.

If he could, he really wanted to say to those who confessed their liking for him, with polite courtesy and respect, “Thank you, and I am sorry.”

Sheng Xian sighed, just about to put down his phone to wash up, when it vibrated again. He thought it was Zhuang Chen, but to his surprise, it was from Lu Jingyan.

Lu Jingyan: “Brother, I actually can fight pretty well.”

Sheng Xian was startled for a moment, then felt his heart enveloped by something warm and soft.

It took him a long time before he touched the screen.

“I won’t let you fight.”

“Because things will get better.”

I will also work hard to get better, for our Little Fish.
