The evening breeze in the Maldives blows the white gauze curtains with the smell of the sea. The night is as cold as water and extremely quiet. Everything seems to be in a deep sleep.
Rao Mengyu hugged her knees and sat by the window, listening to the sound of the tide. The white gauze curtain caressed her naked calves, itching, as if a hand was tugging at her heartstrings.
Ren Jie's heavy and steady breathing could be heard in his ears. It seemed that he had fallen into a deep sleep, which was the state he should have at night.
Rao Mengyu couldn't sleep. She had always suffered from insomnia and was affected by those messy emotions every night. This made her very distressed, but she couldn't control it.
In fact, for a blind person, there is no difference between day and night, and the same is true for Rao Mengyu.
The world of the blind is sad. They cannot see the fragrance of flowers, the majesty of the sky, the blue and infinity of the sea. Their world is only darkness, endless, edgeless darkness!!
'Dang...dang...dang...'
The European-style wall clock on the wall rang, it was midnight now.
The sound of the bell seemed to be some kind of signal, and Rao Mengyu, who was still in a daze, was suddenly startled.
She stood up, walked barefoot on the cold floor, and went downstairs softly.
"It's time to say goodbye……"
Rao Mengyu fumbled and took out an envelope, which contained her thanks and farewell to Ren Jie.
Although she was blind, it was not difficult to write a letter based on her past memory.
It wasn't that she left without saying goodbye on purpose, but she just couldn't say it in front of Ren Jie.
Leaving or not leaving will hurt this kind man. So, let's just leave without saying goodbye to avoid the sad scene.
The waiting taxi rang three times, which seemed to be an extremely impatient urging.
"I'm sorry, Brother Ren, I can't trouble you anymore. I wish you will find a woman who truly loves you as soon as possible."
Rao Mengyu wiped the tears on her cheeks, took off the expensive diamond ring that had been resized, and placed it on the envelope. At the same time, she kept apologizing to Ren Jie in her heart.
She left and boarded a taxi bound for the airport, without any luggage, as clean as when Ren Jie rescued her from the sea.
The man Ren Jie silently went downstairs with a cold and hurt expression. Even though he felt a lot of reluctance in his heart, he could only let her go and give her her freedom.
"Follow the car in front!"
Ren Jie put the envelope and the ring against his chest, stopped a taxi on the roadside, and said in a calm voice.
Rao Mengyu drove all the way to the airport, passed the security check, and boarded the plane smoothly.
Sometimes I have to lament that disabled people also have benefits. At least in this case, she can receive a lot of sympathy and care.
Ren Jie followed Rao Mengyu from a distance until she boarded the plane safely, then he left sadly.
He didn't know where Rao Mengyu's flight would fly to. Even though he was worried, he chose to let go because she knew that was the truest choice in a woman's heart.
"Farewell vivi, farewell queen, my farewell, the woman I love!"
The moment the flight took off, Ren Jie burst into tears!
----Rao Mengyu chose a seat by the window. She had slight tinnitus, felt so depressed that she felt like vomiting, and felt uncomfortable all over.
In the past, whenever she frowned a little, Ren Jie would be worried and busy with him, but now no one will take care of her as meticulously as Ren Jie, and no one will care about her anymore.
There will be people who care about her every move.
But in this way, Rao Mengyu felt much more relaxed.
Because if you want to accept the care of a man you don't love, you will feel guilty no matter what.
Rao Mengyu wrapped herself in a blanket and prepared to sleep.
No matter how difficult the road ahead is, you have to keep going. Thinking too much will only increase your fear!
"Miss, you are so beautiful, you look like a princess!"
Sitting next to her was a middle-aged man. He had been paying attention to Rao Mengyu. He always felt that Rao Mengyu looked familiar.
Rao Mengyu frowned and said lightly: "Thank you!"
She often encounters men who strike up a conversation like this. Usually, such men make her feel disgusted and don't want to talk to him too much.
Besides, now that I am alone outside, I have to be more careful.
"I should have seen you, I swear I have really seen you somewhere!!"
The man's tone became excited, and he kept approaching Rao Mengyu, which could almost be said to be harassment.
"Sorry sir, but I don't know you!"
"Princess, you are really a princess!!"
After carefully observing Rao Mengyu, the man roared as if he suddenly realized something.
"The color of your eyes and your appearance are our long-lost princess!!"
The man shouted excitedly, attracting the flight attendant's attention.
Rao Mengyu couldn't understand what the man was saying, and she was so frightened that she kept huddled in the corner.
"You are our princess, you are our noble princess, and now the king is looking for you..."
"I don't understand what you are saying, you...you..."
Rao Mengyu felt the warm breath of the man next to her sweep towards her. She was very scared, but she didn't know what to do.
At this time, the flight attendant rushed over in time to rescue Rao Mengyu.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
The flight attendant protected Rao Mengyu and prevented this man from approaching her again.
The man said excitedly: "She is our princess, I want to take her back!!"
"Sorry sir, you have disturbed the rest of other passengers. Could you please come with us?"
"Let go, let go, she is really our princess!!"
"Why did you take me away? Why did you take me away?"
The man shouted excitedly at the top of his voice, which aroused everyone's disgust. Rao Mengyu was even more frightened.
"Sorry, ma'am, I frightened you. Don't worry, we will be at your service throughout the process."
The beautiful stewardess stayed to comfort the frightened Rao Mengyu.
Blind people are always the weak ones in this society and the ones who are taken care of. Regarding this, Rao Mengyu doesn't know whether to feel lucky or sad.
It was already the early morning of the next day when we arrived at the destination. The exhaustion from a sleepless night had made Rao Mengyu forget the inexplicable words that the inexplicable man on the plane said to her. Naturally, she could not know about the country of Borovia.
The whole country is trying to find her whereabouts.
The city she set foot on again was City A. The woman didn't understand why she had a particular preference for this city that was hovering on the edge and uncontested.
In terms of prosperity, it is not as good as New York and London, and in terms of beauty, it is not as good as the Maldives. However, its lack of prosperity and beauty made Rao Mengyu feel more intimate.
Even though Rao Mengyu has never seen the appearance of this city with her own eyes, she still has a deep affinity for it. What a strange feeling!
Rao Mengyu was wandering alone in this familiar yet unfamiliar city. She called a taxi and returned to the ancient alley where she once lived.
It seemed to be her home there, and she felt like she was home.
"Yeah, yeah, you're back..."
As soon as Rao Mengyu appeared at the entrance of the alley, the landlady greeted her from a distance.
The old man was both surprised and took it for granted that Rao Mengyu appeared.
"Grandma, are you okay?"
It feels so warm to be greeted by someone!
Rao Mengyu was almost moved to tears by this warmth.
"I'm fine, what about you? Why did you leave without saying goodbye? Grandma misses you so much!!"
"I...I...grandma, I'm sorry..."
"It's okay. Hey, there is a young man who has been wandering around here these days since you left. He is a very nice young man. I can't bear to tell him that you have moved away!"
The old lady said to Rao Mengyu with infinite emotion.
"Young man?"
Who could it be?
Could it be him?
The woman's heart suddenly became tense, as if she were meeting her lover for the first time.
"He didn't say anything, he just said he was an old friend! As an old woman, I was too embarrassed to ask more questions."
"He...did he leave any words?"
Rao Mengyu hesitated for a moment, then asked.
Obviously she shouldn't have any expectations for this relationship, but...she just couldn't help it!
"I didn't leave any words. The young man is very kind. He often comes to stay with me and help me clean up the house and so on!"
When mentioning Shangguan Yu, the old lady was full of praise.
There are not many children who are so infatuated and kind nowadays, so the old lady likes him very much.
Rao Mengyu listened attentively, but did not dare to associate the young man in Grandma's sky with Guan Yu.
First, there is no way he knows her address!
Second, even if he knew, with his personality, how could he have the patience to spend time with an old man who had no financial benefit to him?
Maybe he is one of her many fans, Rao Mengyu said to herself.
"Oh, it's a pity that the young man hasn't been here recently. I don't think he is a local. He must have gone home!"
When the old woman thought of this, she felt sad and reluctant.
"If he could hold on for a few more days, he would be able to see you. Alas, everything is doomed..."
Things like fate have always been arranged by God. You can see it in fate, even if you are thousands of miles away, but if you have no fate, you may miss it even if you pass by.
The old man has lived for most of his life, but he feels deeply about this matter.
Rao Mengyu was stunned, as if she also felt pity.
She asked: "Grandma, do you still have the room where I live?"
Rao Mengyu likes it here, and she has decided to live here from now on.
Live alone, make a living by singing, not relying on anyone, and not involving anyone.
"Of course, I'll keep them all. I can't bear to rent them to anyone else. Grandma, I'll just wait for you to come back!"
The old man happily led Rao Mengyu inside. This old and childless old man had long regarded Rao Mengyu as his own granddaughter.
After arranging everything, Rao Mengyu immediately went to the bar street of the university town.
To survive, she must work. She can no longer rely on anyone...
