To Qi Mian, the daytime in the villa was just a few shadows in front of his eyes.
When she woke up, Tu Ye was no longer around. She could only fumble out of bed. Qi Mian wanted to wash up. She moved slowly and carefully, and finally reached the door of the bedroom.
She opened the door, and Butler Chen's ghostly voice suddenly sounded again.
"If you wake up, I will take you to wash up and have breakfast."
Butler Chen's dry voice was full of reluctance, as if he was forced to come to serve someone so early in the morning. Qi Mian pursed his lips in confusion. After all, he couldn't see, so he still said yes.
"Thanks."
As soon as the words of thanks came down, Qi Mian's arm was grabbed hard by someone. She was dragged forward and staggered a step forward. She even felt a dull pain in her arm, but Butler Chen didn't care at all. What she meant was to take her and move forward.
Hate her so much? As Qi Mian followed with broken steps, he couldn't help but think to himself, is there any special reason?
"This is the bathroom. You can use everything in it. I'll wait for you outside."
Qi Mian was pulled around a corner and stopped not far away. She silently noted the location and then stepped in without saying a word.
After a difficult groping, Qi Mian finished brushing her teeth and washing her face. But when she was about to get the comb, she seemed to have hit something sharp, which stung her and made her shrink back.
[Oops, you're bleeding, host. There is a small metal sculpture here. There are some sharp spots on it. Pay attention. I'll point you to the location. ] Sansan screamed in surprise, and then quickly provided her own language assistance.
Qi Mian rinsed the wound a little, and finally finished washing it with Sansan's help.
"Um, where's Tu Ye?" She walked out of the bathroom slowly, and then asked softly Butler Chen, who had been waiting by the door. There was a tall and thin figure in front of her, who was probably Butler Chen.
"Going to work."
Isn't Tu Ye a painter? Do you need to go to work so early? Qi Mian didn't ask any more questions and went downstairs again, half pulled and half supported by Butler Chen.
The other party happened to pinch the scratched area on her arm, and Qi Mian frowned slightly.
[This guy doesn’t know how to pity the beauty. The host has even seen the wound on your arm, and he still pinches it like that. He deserves to be disfigured. ] Three or three fight against injustice.
Qi Mian was a little surprised: [Disfigured? ]
Sansan replied: [Yes, Butler Chen’s entire face is covered with scars from burns. Fortunately, you can’t see it, otherwise he would be frightened and have nightmares! ]
Qi Mian didn't feel scared, but inexplicably thought of the scar on Tu Ye's face that he touched last night.
The scar was not caused by burns. She felt it was scratched by something sharp.
"Breakfast is in front of you, call me if you need anything."
After walking for a while, Qi Mian was forced to sit down on a chair. Butler Chen finished speaking in a cold and businesslike voice and became silent.
The hall was so quiet that only the sound of breathing and the crisp metallic sound of the collision of knives and forks could be heard. Qi Mian took the knife and fork uncomfortably and started eating breakfast.
Butler Chen obviously didn't take into account that she was blind. The dishes were placed in the middle of the table. She had to stretch her left hand to feel where the plate was, and then use her right hand to pick it up.
[Well, this is a crystal bag, you can take it, wait a minute - that one is piping hot porridge. ]
"ah!"
Qi Mian jerked her hand away and let out a short scream. She touched the outer wall of the ceramic porridge bowl, and the burning tingling sensation on her fingertips made her bite her lip.
"Is there any cold water? Can I rinse it off?"
no respond.
[Wow, he is standing next to you, watching you touch something without helping, and ignoring you! ] Sansan shouted, "Don't be afraid of the host. When you have influenced the villain, ask the villain to punish him!" ]
Qi Mian clearly felt a little aggrieved just now when she said she could just tell him if she had any needs. She blew on her fingertips, which would definitely cause small blisters.
His fingers were burned and he couldn't see anything. Qi Mian lost his appetite and only ate two crystal bags to show that he was finished.
At this time, Butler Chen ignored her again.
"Your activity area is on the first and second floors. Don't go to other areas. Call me if you need it."
Qi Mian silently cursed that it would be useless to call you if she needed it, but she didn't want to sit around in a daze, so she explored the villa under Sansan's guidance. She had to get familiar with the layout as soon as possible.
[What you touch is a huge reindeer skull. There is a display case on your left, be careful not to touch it. ]
Qi Mian took back her hand. The touch of the reindeer antlers was a bit strange. It would be nice if she could see it.
She walked carefully and touched one room or object after another. She didn't know how long it had passed before Qi Mian heard the click of a door being opened.
[Yeah, Tu Ye is back! ] Sansan cheered.
Qi Mian turned around and looked at the source of the sound with unfocused eyes. He was too far away to catch the figure.
"What are you doing?" Tu Ye's deep voice sounded.
Qi Mian's face showed surprise. She seemed to be unable to hold back her joy and walked forward quickly. She stretched out her hands to touch Tu Ye: "Husband, are you back?"
The consequence of this was of course that she tripped again on the bearskin rug on the ground.
[Walk slowly, host. ]
Qi Mian was trapped in the soft bear skin, but the fall did not hurt. She was feeling embarrassed and wanted to get up when she heard footsteps approaching, and then she was "picked up" by someone, and the smell of cedar hit her again. Come.
"Go slowly." Tu Ye said simply.
Qi Mian held his arm that had not been withdrawn. The warm texture indicated that Tu Ye was wearing short sleeves. She softly bent her eyes: "Where have you been?"
Tu Ye's palm fell on the end of her silky hair, and his voice contained no emotion. His answer was exactly the same as Butler Chen: "Work."
Qi Mian nodded in understanding, her bright black eyes actually falling on the man's collarbone: "Are you going to have lunch?"
Tu Ye hummed, took her hand and led her to the dining table. After taking a few steps, his steps stagnated.
Qi Mian felt the other person's fingertips gently caressing her arm. The warm touch that did not belong to her made her arm tremble slightly.
"How did this happen?" Tu Ye said quietly.
Qi Mian lowered her head in shame: "Because I couldn't see, I accidentally touched something..." She unconsciously picked up the nightgown she had not yet changed out of.
After a few tugs, his right hand was held again.
"Are your fingers injured too?"
Qi Mian nodded hesitantly: "Yeah, it's a little burnt, but it's okay."
Tu Ye was silent, and the inability to hear the man's response seemed to make Qi Mian a little anxious. She randomly stretched out her hand and half hugged the other man's lean waist.
"I'm sorry, I can't see, so it's a bit..." Qi Mian's voice became smaller and smaller, and even started to sound like crying at the end. She seemed to be afraid of something, what was she afraid of? Tu Ye stared at her and waited for her to finish.
"...Don't dislike me. I will adapt here as soon as possible, and then I can help you." Qi Mian's eyes were red, and her beautiful little face was dotted with pitiful tears, "I can cook for you, that's okay. ——”
Tu Ye interrupted her: "Is Butler Chen with you while eating?"
As he spoke, he wiped the tears from Qi Mian's face as if he had met her for the first time. It was still an action that did not convey much tenderness.
Qi Mian was startled. She felt a cold gaze cast from another direction. She knew it was Butler Chen.
The black-haired girl shrank in grievance and got closer to the person she wanted to rely on. Although she paused for a long time, she still spoke softly.
"Yes, yes."
