Chapter 123: Red Crocus

[Regret: I don't want to give up!] 】

Xiao Shangzun's heart sank, as if sinking into the bottomless sea in front of him, "I understand that love is so unreasonable, I don't know why I like it, and I don't know why I don't like it. Whatever you want."

"Shang Zun~" Ai Shang Ni didn't call him Zun Shao, but called him by his name. From another point of view, his liking for her is quite pitiful.

"You know what? If the other party is not Yiqiao, I really want to settle accounts with him more than once, why do you do this?"

Ai Shangni smiled, "What? Isn't it uncomfortable? Still upset for me?"

He lowered his head and reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, raised his foot and kicked a stone under his feet, "It's uncomfortable, why isn't it uncomfortable." I had expected it, but I heard it a little earlier, and I thought you would have to wait until I left your house or returned to school, and then explicitly refuse to marry. So soon... Alas~~ I think it's time for me to give up."

She breathed a sigh of relief when he said the word 'give up.'

"Actually, you shouldn't have proposed marriage to my family, my family respects my idea very much, I don't agree, they won't force me, they won't even persuade me. Can you tell me about your marriage ideas?"

"Tell you? You have rejected all my pursuits, and even more so marriage."

Ai Shangni reached out and patted him, "Then do you mean that you are planning to let my family put pressure on me?"

Xiao Shangzun opened his eyes, looked at the sea, and said with some dejection, "Isn't this pressure completely useless?"

「......」

After talking about the heaviest topics, they walked along the beach for a while, after which Ai Shanni took him to visit two of the most characteristic streets of Haike Island, in the shape of a cross, each street is about a kilometer long, and the streets are lined with some historical European-style buildings.

The building is worth seeing, and the two streets are commercial streets, with a lot of people and goods, which is a must-visit place for tourists to Haike Island.

Due to limited time, they don't go to many places. At about half past four, the Xiao family left Haike Island.

At night!

At the dinner table, Ai Shangni was told about the marriage by Tong Qingtan.

She smiled, "Dad, don't worry, my monk and Zun have already made it clear, and he will definitely explain it to Uncle Xiao when he goes back."

"Did you reject him outright?" Gu Yao asked.

"yes, just say it." Ai Shangni is very calm.

Tong Qingtan said, "It's up to you to decide this matter, just make it clear."

"Tonight, there is one more sad person in this world." The childlike heart said leisurely while holding the dishes.

Xia Minyu glanced at her, "What are you talking about, kid?"

Tong Xin shook his head, but he shouldn't, and continued to eat with his head down.

Tong Tangen was worried: "Yiyi, after you return to school, talk to people again, don't hurt them."

"Third brother, I know, don't worry."

Xiao family!

When the three members of the Xiao family returned to Licheng, it was already the rising moon.

After dinner, Xiao Shangzun was just about to go upstairs with his front foot, but he was stopped by Xiao Dingshan with his back foot, "Come and sit down."

"What are you going to do?" The tone was a little impatient.

"You didn't say a word during the meal, but now you should tell us how you talked to Miss Renni in the afternoon?"

Xiao Shangzun saw that his parents were in a good mood, but he didn't want to spoil their mood, so he didn't say anything about Ai Shangni's refusal to marry, but they chased after him and asked.

However, sooner or later, you have to know, so it's better to confess to them earlier.

"I'll go upstairs and take a shower first, and I'll talk to you later."

About ten minutes later, Xiao Shangzun went downstairs and told them the truth about Ai Shangni's thoughts.

He had expected his parents to be disappointed, especially his father, but he said, "It's okay to say no."

Now it's time for Xiao Shangzun to be puzzled. Although the marriage was proposed by him a few years ago, it was obvious that Xiao Dingshan was happier than him, and the marriage with the Tong family on Haike Island was

What a good thing you can't ask for.

But what's the matter with a hint of happiness?

"Mom, Dad, you?"

Gu Jialing said to him, "Master Tong told us that Yi Ni has suffered from eye diseases and optic neuritis for many years, and from time to time she will suffer from eye pain and blindness."

Xiao Shangzun's eyes widened suddenly, and he was surprised, "Optic neuritis?" He still couldn't believe what he heard.

"yes, I got it when I was six years old with a severe viral flu. He said that he had received the best treatment at that time, and he thought he had recovered, but he did not expect to relapse again, and it was a non-stop recurrence, and he had not recovered for so many years."

Old Madam Xiao sighed, "That little girl is really pitiful, her eyes can't see."

"Mom, I won't necessarily be blind in the future, but if I'm in a good condition, I'll be cured. It's just that this case is very special, it's hard to say, and she has occasional seizures now." Gu Jialing said to Old Lady Xiao.

Xiao Dingshan asked, "I've known her for a semester, haven't you encountered her eye problems?"

Xiao Shangzun was silent, lowered his head, and put his hands together on his knees, as if thinking.

Old Lady Xiao, who has never spoken much, opened her mouth and said, "Inflammation is a big or small thing, and it should not be underestimated."

"That's what Grandpa said. What's more, for more than ten years, she has been plagued by optic neuritis. It's not necessarily a bad thing that she refuses to marry you." Gu Jialing was worried that his son would fall into a liking for Ai Shangni and couldn't extricate himself.

Xiao Shangzun was silent for a long time and got up, "Grandpa, grandma, parents, I'll go upstairs first."

"No, you kid didn't say a word and left."

Gu Jialing couldn't shout at him, he didn't look back, and quickly returned to the room.

Closing the door, he threw himself into the bed, took out his mobile phone, and immediately dialed the WeChat video to Ai Shangni.

Ai Shangni, who was returning to the room to take a bath, heard the sound of WeChat video connection, and retreated from the door of the bathroom, picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was Xiao Shangzun.

She picked it up strangely, "What's the matter, didn't you and Uncle Xiao report that they arrived home safely?"

"You're not busy right now, I want to talk to you properly." His brow furrowed slightly.

His tone was so soft that she almost didn't react, and she smiled, "Haven't you talked enough this afternoon?"

"Not enough, if you have anything else to do, go ahead and wait until you're done."

Ai Shangni didn't think there was anything between him and her, if he did, he would mention the marriage today. However, in Ai Shangni's eyes, this is not a problem.

She glanced at the pajamas in her hand and said to him, "Then you wait for me for ten more minutes, and I'll get back to you later."

"Good~"

Did he really have something to say to her, and he hung up the video immediately?

Ai Shangni washed her hair and took a shower with doubts and a little uneasiness, waited to dry her hair, nestled into a soft sofa, and sent a WeChat video to Xiao Shangzun.

When he picked it up, she spoke first, "Say, what big things do you want to talk to me about?"

He didn't answer, just stared into her eyes. He seemed to be still on the screen, and she thought that his network was disconnected, "Isn't your network working?"

At this time, Xiao Shangzun, who was sitting against the head of the bed, moved his body and slowly spoke, "Your eyes?"

Her first reaction was that her eyes were stained, and she reached out to touch it, and suddenly she realized what he really wanted to say.

It seemed that her father had told the Xiao family about the eye disease, and she gently lifted her tender lips and said, "Got it?"

Xiao Shangzun nodded and hummed, "My parents just told me."

She smiled and quickly blew her eyelids several times, "Well, is there any difference in looking at my eyes now?"

"Nope." He shook his head, looking at her watery and shining eyes, which were no different from ordinary people, or even more charming.

"I'm lucky that my eyes don't look out of shape, except for occasional pain, blurred vision, or blindness for a while."

I can still smile when I see her

He said that he was not very happy, "Where are I lucky, I have been suffering from eye diseases for so many years."

Ai Shangni was silent, quietly looking at Xiao Shangzun on the other side of the screen, always with a domineering look between his eyebrows and eyes, which was much softer at this time, and even showed a trace of sadness in his eyes, somewhat unlike him.

In the afternoon, she had just rejected his marriage, and in the evening, he could still grieve for her eye disease.

She was suddenly moved.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Xiao Shangzun asked out loud first, "Have you been sad because of your eye disease since you were a child?"

Ai Shangni pulled the corners of his mouth and shook his head, "No, it's good. I have always been by my family's side, and they have taken good care of me and loved me very much. It's just that I can't fight for this disease, and I can't cure it until now."

"Can't you go abroad?"

"No way. I have been to foreign countries for several examinations, and those doctors even said that I was recovering well, but there were some special symptoms that were difficult to judge, which led to non-stop attacks."

"There must be a doctor who can heal you, but you haven't met it yet."

She laughed, "Hopefully. You're looking for me for this?"

Seeing him hum again, "You really hide it well, you shouldn't have told you 312, I don't think Yiqiao knows."

"I don't know, I didn't want to tell you. If my dad hadn't told Uncle Xiao and Aunt Garing today, you wouldn't have known. I'm not in that bad condition, don't worry. You see, you don't usually see me with eye problems. I remember that Ihashi had encountered eye discomfort two or three times, but I gave it to him and didn't tell him about the eye disease. I don't want to tell him just yet, but you're going to have to keep it a secret for me, and I don't talk to my roommates, you know?"

Xiao Shangzun didn't reply to her, but said, "Ai Shangni, I will take back my words for the afternoon."

"What?" He had said a lot in the afternoon, and she didn't know what he said.

"Give up your word."

Ai Shangni smiled helplessly, but didn't say anything more. Although she has always clearly rejected Xiao Shangzun's persistence, she has never said anything too much to him, because his persistence is insisted on in a way that respects her very much, and she naturally respects him.

After watching the time, it was not too early, Xiao Shangzun hung up the video after a few words.

He lay on the bed, looking up at the white ceiling, almost distracted.

He never thought of himself as a sympathetic person, although he still saw a lot of sympathetic behavior, and the people around him did not think of him as indifferent, but he himself did not think so.

But in the case of Ai Shangni's eye disease, he finally felt that he was compassionate.

At first, he pursued Ai Shangni out of his heart, but her repeated refusal made him have to slowly let go. Until he learned that she was the daughter of the Tong family on Haike Island, he no longer pursued her purely out of like, he took a fancy to her family background and continued to chase her again.

Although she didn't have much hope for the marriage this time, she also thought that the relationship between the two families and her family's consideration of the family's interests should still be possible. But he never expected that he overestimated himself and underestimated the Tong family's love for Ai Shangni. Just when he wanted to give up again, he learned that she had an eye disease. At this moment, he didn't care about anything, he only wanted to protect her who was plagued by eye disease, poor her.
