Shi Yu is blind, sweet-tempered, and gentle. Anyone who meets her can't help but feel protective of her and treat her with extra care.
Anyone except Song Hezhou.
He makes no effort to hide his dislike and indifference toward her.
He brings this girl from Nancheng to glittering, pleasure-seeking Jing City, never officially acknowledging their relationship, and constantly bullies her until tears fill her eyes.
When people ask about her, he merely exhales a cloud of smoke and says coolly, "It was just a whim."
Even when news spreads that Song Hezhou is engaged and people worry about Shi Yu's future, he only gives a silent, cold laugh.
"She was shameless enough to use such despicable means to climb into my bed. She should have known this day would come."
Shi Yu acts as though she hasn't noticed a thing. Day after day, she stays by Song Hezhou's side, fussing over him and taking meticulous care of him.
She treats his every word as gospel.
Everyone thinks Shi Yu is so humble that she'll surely be bullied terribly.
But in reality, not only does she avoid being bullied, she grows more radiant by the day, and there are signs her blindness might be cured.
Meanwhile, Song Hezhou's personality changes completely, and he keeps breaking through his own principles and boundaries.
The workaholic who lives for his job once received a phone call during an important international conference. He smiled gently as he explained why he had to leave midway through:
"The cat at home accidentally broke a vase and hurt its paw. I have to go back and check on it."
The next day, Song Hezhou returned to the office with red scratch marks all over his neck.
Even stranger, one day an employee went into his office to report on some work, and Song Hezhou's face turned unusually red.
The stern, rigid man flew into a sudden rage and threw the employee out.
No one knew that after the employee left, Song Hezhou's forehead veins bulged as he stared fixedly beneath his desk.
Shi Yu slowly crawled out, wiped her damp fingertips, and blinked her beautiful, vacant eyes at him.
"Brother, did you like it?"
*
Before meeting Shi Yu, Song Hezhou's life consisted of nothing but work.
He went to Nancheng and came back with a little shadow who called him "Brother" at every turn.
Once the initial impulse had passed, all Song Hezhou felt was regret and annoyance.
But little by little, he grew addicted to her, sinking in without even realizing it.
He knew Shi Yu loved him desperately.
Until one day, he heard someone ask Shi Yu why she followed him so devotedly, despite having no name or status in his life.
Shi Yu smiled sweetly. "Brother and I were promised to each other as children. I promised I'd marry him."
Song Hezhou stiffened, his pupils trembling.
He had never been to Nancheng, and he had never been promised to any blind girl. She had mistaken him for someone else.
It turned out he was the one who had used despicable means to climb into her life.
After a long period of brooding, Song Hezhou finally understood:
Shi Yu was the little bird he had raised. If she was going to fly, she could only fly inside his cage.
He had never been meant to be just one chapter in Shi Yu's life. He wanted to be her one and only, forever.
Bonus Scene:
Shi Yu thinks it's wonderful that Song Hezhou always gives her whatever she asks for.
The only strange thing is that whenever she cries and murmurs, calling him her benefactor brother, the man suddenly gets rough.
"Don't call me that. Call me Husband."
"Have you cried enough? Let's do it again."
