Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind-Chapter 107 - 95: Ji Lingruo’s Story

Looking at the suddenly appearing Ji Lingruo and Fairy Wangshu, He Shutong for some reason felt a sense of guilt, and she hurriedly released her embrace, momentarily at a loss.

She was not the only one feeling this way. You Su noticed the displeasure in his junior sister’s tone and preemptively said:

"Junior Sister! You’re awake!" He said, wiping away the tears on his face.

An expression of pain flashed across Ji Lingruo’s face. She narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing the two of them, and suddenly asked He Shutong in a cold voice:

"What exactly is your purpose?!"

Her words were full of hostility.

In the end, she had no feelings at all for this so-called Master. While You Su had gone through various hardships, she remained uninvolved. Even though it seemed she eventually saved them, Ji Lingruo still harbored resentment towards her in her heart.

He Shutong was not good with words, and at this point, she didn’t know where to start explaining. Her words got stuck at her lips, unable to come out.

You Su was stunned in the middle, not knowing who to speak for, but Master stood up on her own, looked disdainfully at Ji Lingruo, who was half a head shorter than her, and said indifferently:

"You two talk first."

Then she turned and brushed past the young girl. Ji Lingruo widened her eyes, glaring all the while, unwilling to show weakness.

You Su reminisced about the touch and warmth remaining on his face as he watched He Shutong’s vague figure disappear out the doorway as if fleeing. Something stirred within him, feeling that Master had changed.

If it were the old her leaving like this, she would certainly do so proudly and icily, disdainful of saying anything more. But now, it seemed like she was fleeing due to an inability to cope.

"Junior Sister..."

Once only the two of them were left in the room, You Su finally called out affectionately and dependently.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lingruo was taken aback and bit her lower lip lightly. She had envisioned a scene of reunion with You Su where they would run towards each other and tightly embrace, pouring out their hearts.

As soon as she woke up, she intended to find You Su in his room, only to see You Su standing so close to that irresponsible Master, which immediately dampened her enthusiasm.

Her steps hesitated, and she asked:

"What were you doing with her just now?"

"What else could we be doing as you saw?" You Su said with an innocent look, naturally, "Master saw me suffering and wanted to comfort me."

Seeing him so frank, as if questioning why she asked such a ridiculous question, Ji Lingruo pouted slightly, annoyed:

"Why does it seem like your relationship with this Master wasn’t as good before?"

"I have no father or mother, and from the age of ten, Master raised me alone. Even though it wasn’t obvious daily, she must care for me."

"When we were in life-and-death crises, she was nowhere to be seen, and after everything settled, she came to console us insincerely. Is she worthy of being called ’Master’ by you?"

"I think Master... must have her own difficulties."

"I think you’re just being naive!" Ji Lingruo stood with her hands on her hips, an expression of frustration.

You Su’s expression dimmed. In a sense, Ji Lingruo was not wrong; he always gave his utmost trust to those around him without reservation.

He recalled when he was very young, his Master told him to go left, and he went left, told him to go right, and he went right, but he always refused to trust Master’s guidance, thinking he was deliberately leading him into traps for a laugh.

After that, Master gave him a good spanking and expressed great disappointment in him.

Master said that a blind person cannot see and has to make even more effort to understand the world, so overthinking is understandable. But if You Su didn’t even trust the people closest to him and kept doubting them, what kind of person would he become? A gloomy, suspicious villain?

He, Guan Chujun, did not want a sensitive, suspicious fox as a disciple. Maybe one day the fox would turn into a white-eyed wolf.

You Su felt deeply ashamed and grew to understand Master’s words more as he got older. It is pitiful for a person to have nothing to trust, not to mention a blind person already lacking a sense of security.

It is for this reason that he became more affectionate to those close and more distant to those who were not...

However, You Su also knew that Ji Lingruo’s complaints were not really scolding him for being naive, as it was this approach that brought them closer together.

He smiled broadly, understanding Ji Lingruo’s feelings. She was worried that he, as a blind person, would forget who he shared these hardships with, so he said softly:

"However, no matter how Master treats me, it can’t compare to Junior Sister. The life-and-death experiences with Junior Sister have been etched in my heart; the gratitude I have for Junior Sister can never be repaid."

You Su’s sudden blunt words made Ji Lingruo’s face instantly turn red. She slightly turned her head, her smoky eyes half-drooping, secretly annoyed at You Su’s lack of restraint, especially with that last sentence, clearly alluding to what happened in the coffin that day.

Thinking about that scene, Ji Lingruo felt a mix of embarrassment and discomfort, angrily saying:

"Well, then I want you to never repay this debt, living with regret forever."

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized if her words came true, it would not be only You Su who would live with regret.

After a moment of hesitation and seeing You Su not responding, she was about to softly say a few more words, but You Su interrupted her:

"Is Junior Sister saying that you’re going to leave?" You Su appeared dazed, his eyes filled with despair.

"Ah? I, I..." Ji Lingruo suddenly stuttered, mumbling, "Did I say that? Don’t guess blindly..."
