Chapter 59: Chapter 59

That day, it was all Fu Yinli accompanying her.

The maid and various personal items were arranged for her, and even the living room and her current bedroom had tactile paving installed for the blind.

At first, the new maid thought they were a couple and called them Mr. and Mrs., but after Su Lingzhi explained, they changed their address.

The maid was sensible and didn’t ask who the real employer was because they had been informed that apart from housework, their main task was to take care of this blind young lady.

In the evening, Fu Yinli came over with her phone, "Your mother’s call."

Upon hearing this, Su Lingzhi got a little nervous and reached out to take it, "Mom."

"Zhizhi, where are you?"

Hearing the worried tone on the other end, Su Lingzhi felt guilty, "I’m at a rented place outside now. Mom, I’m with Xiaoxi, don’t worry."

There was a silent pause on the other end, then the truth was revealed, "You’re with Fu Yinli, aren’t you?"

Su Lingzhi tightened her grip on the phone, not daring to make a sound.

Du Qin continued, "Hand the phone to him, I have a few words to say to him."

After hesitating for a while, Su Lingzhi handed the phone to Fu Yinli, "My mom wants to talk to you."

Fu Yinli took the phone and went outside to answer it...

She didn’t know what her mom said to Fu Yinli, but the result was that her mom was assured she could live outside.

Moving out of the Su Family’s house without prior notice did make her feel a bit guilty towards her mom, but she didn’t want her mom to be caught between her and Tong Yan. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ NoveI★Fire.net

At night, the scent of roses filled the walls, becoming more intense.

Su Lingzhi lay alone on the rocking chair in the backyard.

Xiaoxi said there was an albizia tree in the courtyard, covered in pink silk flowers.

It’s said that the albizia tree is a spiritual tree, its leaves open in the light and close in the dark, much like a sensitive plant.

Even though she couldn’t see anything, it seemed that just sitting there, she could feel a sense of peace in time, undisturbed by the world’s chaos.

She thought, the owner of this courtyard must be someone who enjoys refinement and elegance.

In the dark days, there was no sense of time, and every day felt long.

Changing the environment seemed to make time pass more quickly.

Moonlight mixed with the courtyard lights fell on the white gauze covering her eyes, adding a touch of beauty and melancholy to the ordinary night.

Fu Yinli watched her from a distance, his thoughts overlapping with the memory of someone, as she swayed, the person turned into a shimmering shadow and disappeared.

Frowning, Fu Yinli stepped forward, lifted her from the rocking chair, and held her in his arms.

"You can’t lie here anymore."

Su Lingzhi was puzzled, "Why?"

Upon hearing this word, Su Lingzhi inexplicably felt a chill and tightened her grip on his shoulder, "Don’t scare me."

Fu Yinli’s arms tightened around her, then he turned around and carried her all the way into the downstairs guest bedroom.

Su Lingzhi wouldn’t let it go, "What did you just say was ominous? The rocking chair?"

Su Lingzhi’s voice lowered, and she asked, "If my eyes never recover, will you still..."

Before she could finish, his lips found hers, enveloping her in a faint scent of tobacco, leaving her no time to think of anything else, only focusing on being with him.

Su Lingzhi used to like kissing him, and also enjoyed pressing her palm to his chest to feel his heartbeat while doing so.

Over time, she discovered that the more proactive she was, the faster his heart beat, creating an illusion.

Seemingly aware of this, Fu Yinli suddenly grabbed her hand, pinning both hands behind her back, holding her neck, delving further.

Her thoughts drowned in his aura, and the loss of sight made all her senses sharper, leaving a deep impression.

Considering her injury, rationality prompted Fu Yinli to stop.

His breath, ambiguous and warm, sprayed on her neck, far more teasing than if he had kissed it.

Su Lingzhi leaned against his shoulder, breathing lightly.

"Zhizhi, don’t overthink it, we still have a long time ahead."

It was unclear whether he was comforting her or himself with this sentence.

Fu Yinli released her, glanced at her blushing face, leaned over, unwrapped the gauze covering her eyes.

Su Lingzhi’s eyes slowly opened, and all she saw was darkness.

"Wait here for me, I’ll go run the bath for you."

Su Lingzhi nodded silently.

After a while, he came out of the bathroom, took a robe from the wardrobe, and led her inside.

As soon as she stood firmly, one of the buttons on her shirt suddenly came loose; Su Lingzhi quickly grabbed his hand, flustered, "What are you doing?"

"How can you bathe without taking off your clothes?"

"I can do it myself, you don’t need to help. Please leave first."

Seeing her reluctance, Fu Yinli released her hand, "I’ll be waiting nearby, not looking at you."

"Zhizhi, we’re a couple, getting familiar with each other’s bodies is inevitable."

Su Lingzhi’s face flushed instantly, "Still, no. If you want to continue living here, you must listen to me and not invade my privacy without my consent."

"..." Fu Yinli was briefly speechless, it was the first time someone threatened him in his own space.

He looked at her flushed face with no choice, "Alright, it’s your turf, you make the rules."

As he walked away, he instructed, "Don’t soak too long, call me once you’re dressed, the floor is a bit slippery, be careful."

Hearing the door close, Su Lingzhi let out a sigh of relief, undressed, and immersed herself in the bathtub.

Twenty minutes later, she came out wrapped in a bathrobe.

Fu Yinli walked toward her, "Why didn’t you call me?"

"I told you I could do it myself."

After the bath, Su Lingzhi’s hair was tousled into a bun, with dewdrops on her strands, her skin fair and delicate, easily stirring desire.

For Fu Yinli, it was nothing short of torture.

His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, teasingly he asked, "All clean?"

"..." Su Lingzhi was at a loss for words for a moment, huffed in frustration, "Even if I’m not clean, it’s my own business."

Su Lingzhi pushed past him and walked forward.

But Fu Yinli wrapped her in an embrace from behind, kissed her neck gently, "I don’t mind."

Then he lifted her up and placed her on the bed, turning to enter the bathroom.

Not long after, the bed sank on the side, and Su Lingzhi lost all sleepiness. As she opened her eyes, all she saw was darkness.

But she could still sense his closeness, Fu Yinli wrapped her in his arms, holding her tightly.

Her back pressed against his chest, his warm breath sprayed on her neck, making Su Lingzhi shrink back sensitively.
