A Blind Date with an Honest Man

Next novel: After I Died, I Became My Childhood Friend's Cat Song Shimian was blind. At the urging of a friend, he finally took the first step toward a new life: He decided to go on a blind date. The matchmaker asked what he wanted in a partner. Considering his situation, Song Shimian politely explained what he was looking for: Not too tall. Honest and gentle. An average salary was fine. Most importantly, he couldn't mind that Song Shimian was blind. A week later, the matchmaker came back, her voice full of excitement. "I found someone who fits your requirements. He's 1.7 meters tall and works at a supermarket. He's honest, and his friends all say he's very gentle. He definitely won't mind that you're blind." So Song Shimian met the man at a cafe for their blind date. Across from Song Shimian, the man's narrow eyes were half-lowered, his gaze sweeping over Song Shimian's face inch by inch, inscrutable emotions churning in his eyes. He lifted a hand and dropped a sugar cube into his coffee. The blue gemstone cuff link on his suit sleeve gleamed under the lights. He was tall and imposing, with an air of aristocratic elegance in every move. "Li Chao. That's my name. I should fit your requirements." The man's voice was low. When he didn't smile, his brows seemed dusted with winter snow, icy to the bone. Song Shimian thought he'd found the honest man of legend. And just like that, he married Li Chao. Their life together was fairly harmonious. It was just that Song Shimian, at 1.75 meters tall, could only rest his head on the shoulder of the husband the matchmaker had described as 1.7 meters tall. It was just that his honest, simple husband was extremely dishonest in certain ways, often leaving him to miss breakfast the next day. He thought life would go on like this, peaceful and uneventful. Until, when Song Shimian couldn't see, his husband began developing multiple personalities. Reading guide: 1. The shou's blindness was acquired, and he will recover. 2.
