"You were hit with a stick last night, which caused damage to your optic nerve. Now... you can't see anything at all."

Hospital……
Gong Xiaoyan brought Mao Xiaotu to the ward. She was wearing pure white sheets. Chen Yunye leaned quietly against the bed, holding a drawing in her hand, and her slender fingers were trying to describe something.
"Knock knock knock..." Gong Xiaoyan knocked on the door
"Xiao Yan, is that you?" He was completely blind and couldn't see clearly at all.
"Ye, it's my time after school, and I'm here to see you... I also brought a lot of delicious food..." Gong Xiaoyan sniffed and put the food on the bedside.
"How many times have I told you not to run around the school or hospital? I'm really fine. Except for the blindness, I can handle other things by myself..."
"night……"
"How are you doing, Xiaotu?" He would ask this question every time she came to the hospital.
"..."
"Huh? Why don't you say anything..."
Gong Xiaoyan left the room, Mao Xiaotu slowly approached him, tears kept falling
"Xiao Yan, are you still there?" Chen Yunye asked tentatively.
Mao Xiaotu sat beside the bed, and he grabbed her hand: "Why don't you say anything..."
"..."
His fingertips slid across her cheek and touched the wet liquid
"Why are you crying?"
"Why are you so stupid..." She hugged him and cried like a bewildered child.
"..." Chen Yunye was startled.
Her voice will never be forgotten in his life
He reached out to touch her facial features. He was afraid that he would not be able to remember her appearance in the future.
I am drawing her portrait based solely on my own memory...
"Why... why did something like this happen... you didn't even tell me..." Mao Xiaotu hugged him and kept crying, and his heart ached even more.
"Xiaotu, please stop crying... If I knew you would be so sad, I would definitely run away so far away that you couldn't find me, so you wouldn't be sad..."
"Fool--!"
"..."
"You are like this because of me. If you leave like this, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life!"
"..."
"I will stay with you until you fully recover"
"Really?" His throat suddenly became hoarse.
"real……"
"Xiaotu, I love you so much that my heart hurts so much..." Chen Yunye hugged her and cried silently.
"The black in front of you is not black
What white are you talking about?
People say the sky is blue
It’s the blue sky behind the white clouds in my memory
I look at your face
But all I can see is nothingness
Is it God who has drawn a curtain in front of my eyes?
Forgot to open
you are my eye
Take me through the changing seasons
you are my eye
Take me through the crowds
you are my eye
Take me to read the vast sea of books.”

[If possible, can you be in my heart, if...just if...]
