After driving Ling Chong away, Gu Ranle did not leave, but directly replaced his previous position.

She stood carelessly at the bathroom door, quietly watching Li Shenzhi who was washing, not feeling that there was anything wrong with her behavior.

In fact, she didn't have the habit of peeping into other people's privacy, but she discovered something incredible -

Li Shenzhi's eyes should be able to see the light.

If the treatment process had not been intermittent, he would have been able to see it before today.

The morning light shines through the gaps in the curtains and dapples onto the ground, adding a bit of warmth and vitality to this quiet space.

Li Shenzhi sat in a wheelchair, his hair dyed a light golden color by the morning light, which made him look particularly soft and added a touch of gentleness to him.

His face was still calm and profound, with clear contours, like a carved work of art.

However, when he squeezed the toothpaste onto the toothbrush accurately, the corners of his lips that inadvertently raised betrayed his excitement at the moment.

The irrepressible joy quietly blossomed in his heart like a flower blooming for the first time in spring.

It was at this moment that Gu Ranle suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"Li Shenzhi, can your eyes... already see?"

There was a mixture of tentativeness and expectation in her voice, and her eyes were fixed on his face, trying to capture any slight changes.

Li Shenzhi was stunned when he heard the voice, the toothbrush in his hand paused slightly, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Instead of admitting it directly, he chose to deny it.

"I hope to see it. It all depends on you! The half-month deadline is almost up. When will you treat me?"

His voice was calm and natural, as if he really couldn't see anything.

Gu Ranle raised his eyebrows, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Really? I thought you had regained your sight thanks to my superb acupuncture skills last night!"

Li Shenzhi snorted, "Thank God, you didn't stab me so hard that my mouth and eyes became crooked, that's already pretty good."

"You are so ungrateful for getting such a good deal!"

Gu Ranle glared at him coquettishly.

She didn't deny it, he could see that she was happy too.

At this time, Li Shenzhi had finished brushing his teeth, washed his face with clean water, and controlled the wheelchair to slowly move towards the door.

Gu Ranle stood at the door, deliberately blocking his way.

Li Shenzhi stopped in front of her, looked up at her, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He immediately realized that he had made a fatal mistake.

He was still too complacent and let his guard down.

“Bao, didn’t you go to Luo’s house last night?”

He immediately made amends and tried to divert Gu Ranle's attention.

Gu Ranle smiled, lowered her eyes and looked at him. She did not answer his question, but asked in return: "Li Shenzhi, why did you stop? Why don't you move forward?"

Li Shenzhi opened his mouth, but before he could utter a word, he heard her smiling voice: "Did your radar detect that I was blocking your way? Okay, I'll get out of the way."

She said to move aside, but she only lifted her foot symbolically without actually moving her body at all.

"What's wrong? Why don't you leave, Brother Shenzhi?" There was a hint of teasing and mocking in her voice, as if she had seen through his thoughts.

"..."

Li Shenzhi sat there quietly, with his eyes lowered in silence.

The atmosphere in the room became subtle and tense at this moment, and the air seemed to be filled with an indescribable expectation.

The morning light shines through the window and gently falls on the two of them, adding a touch of warmth and romance to this quiet picture.

The light danced between Gu Ranle's hair, giving her a layer of golden glow, making her look even more dazzling and attractive.

After a long time, Li Shenzhi raised his eyelids, looked at her helplessly, sighed softly, and a helpless smile hung on the corners of his mouth.

"Okay, I admit, I can see, but my vision is still blurry."

"Oh--"

Gu Ranle deliberately lengthened her voice and did not straighten up, but instead moved closer to him.

"So, Brother Shenzhi, why did you lie to me just now? Am I not worthy of your trust?"

There was a hint of seriousness and dissatisfaction in her voice, and she was obviously dissatisfied with his concealment.

The wind blew in gently from the window, blowing up Gu Ranle's long hair. The tips of her hair were like soft feathers, gently brushing across Li Shenzhi's cheek.

His body tensed slightly, and then he leaned back unconsciously, trying to distance himself from her.

He didn't like such close contact, which made him feel uncomfortable all over, as if there was an inexplicable pressure forcing him.

However, Gu Ranle did not give him a chance to escape.

She put her hands on her knees and leaned closer to him, her eyes full of inquiry and curiosity.

Li Shenzhi sat there quietly, his eyes deep and complex.

In his heart he weighed every word, trying to find a suitable interpretation.

However, he found that he could not express his feelings at the moment in words.

He stretched out his hand, with unquestionable firmness in his tone, and gently pushed Gu Ranle's face away.

"This is not a question of trust or not." His voice was low and sincere, revealing an indescribable complex emotion.

Gu Ranle leaned against the door frame, his eyes full of inquiry and curiosity.

She obviously didn't intend to let this topic go easily, and continued to ask: "What is the problem?"

Li Shenzhi took a deep breath and tried to change the subject: "Besides Song Yu and you, who else was there last night?"

Gu Ranle chuckled, as if she had seen through his thoughts.

"Why don't you believe that I was the one who gave you the acupuncture? Did I hide it too well before, causing you to have a deep-rooted misunderstanding of me?"

Li Shenzhi frowned, obviously surprised by her words.

He stared into her eyes, trying to find the answer.

However, he found that he could not see through her mind.

She was like a mysterious woman, making him feel both mysterious and charming.

"Nothing special." Gu Ranle stood up straight with a faint smile on his lips.

"I still have some stuff to take care of. I'll call you when it's time to leave."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Li Shenzhi standing there in a daze.

After leaving the hotel, Gu Ranle drove to the Jiang family's old house.

Mr. Jiang called her last night and hoped that she could come over. But she was giving acupuncture to Li Shenzhi at that time, so she didn't go.

The Jiang family's old house was unusually lively last night.

Gu Xiaohei told Gu Ranle that Jiang Lan and her first love went to the Jiang family's old house last night, bringing their three sons with them.

Unfortunately, Mr. Jiang didn't let them in, let alone see them.

After waiting at the gate for more than an hour, the family of five went home to sleep.

However, at dawn, the family went to the Jiang family's old house again.
