Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1127: Chapter 1127: I Knew You Weren’t Dead

"Grandpa Miao, my health is not important, how is Yuan Yu?" Tang Jun didn’t care much about his own body. Right now, the most important thing was to confirm Yuan Yu’s safety.

Tang Jun groped his way toward the bedside.

The little girl helped Tang Jun sit down on the edge of the bed, looking like a little adult, she said, "Brother Tang, don’t worry, my grandpa is very skilled in medicine."

Tang Jun didn’t dare to move around recklessly, so he simply looked over in Yuan Yu’s direction.

"Little girl." Grandpa Miao glared at her. The little girl did not answer but asked, "What are you to her?"

With Grandpa Miao’s medical skills, he naturally knew Yuan Yu was still a virgin.

"I..." Tang Jun’s lips moved, about to answer but paused. He tried hard to look at Yuan Yu, even though he couldn’t see her. He felt at ease sensing her even breaths and said, "I’m her friend."

If his eyes were good, he would surely say he was her partner or boyfriend. But if his eyes never healed, wouldn’t that hold Yuan Yu back?

"Friend?" Grandpa Miao muttered, clearly not believing Tang Jun, but he didn’t ask further. He said, "Her body isn’t in much trouble, except the water was too cold, and she soaked for too long, chill has entered her body. It might affect her health, and if you ever want children, it might be difficult."

No children?

Upon hearing this, Tang Jun immediately thought of Yuan Yu’s reaction, not noticing Grandpa Miao’s wording ’if you ever want children.’ He clenched his hand tightly, knowing Yuan Yu liked children.

Tang Jun paused and said, "As long as she is safe, that’s all that matters."

Tang Jun let out a breath of relief. As long as she was okay, it wouldn’t matter even if there were no children in the future.

If someone disdained Yuan Yu because she couldn’t bear children, he was willing to take care of her for his whole life.

The heavens never cut off all paths; maybe, his eyes would be healed?

His sister’s two children are so adorable, he could just treat his sister’s children as his own.

Grandpa Miao sized up Tang Jun, seeing he genuinely felt this way, he said, "If you take good care of her and nurse her body, it’s not impossible. It just requires a long time. If you trust this old man, I can prescribe a remedy for her."

"I’ll trouble you then, Grandpa Miao." Tang Jun immediately responded, looking gratefully at Grandpa Miao.

"You trust me indeed." Grandpa Miao squinted with a smile at the trust Tang Jun had in him.

Tang Jun smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa Miao is kindhearted and benevolent, with excellent medical skills. I trust Grandpa Miao."

"Yuan Yu will definitely trust Grandpa Miao too," Tang Jun added.

"Alright, stop flattering me. Your head should have bumped into something, causing hemorrhage in your brain, which is why you’re blind. Although my medical skills are limited, I can’t cure your blindness." Grandpa Miao glanced at Tang Jun, seeing him sitting there with his back straight.

Seeing he was such a good young man, it was a pity if his eyes remained blind.

Grandpa Miao thought he must find a way to treat his eyes.

Unable to cure your blindness.

Though Tang Jun had some inkling deep down, hearing Grandpa Miao say it straightforwardly, his heart inevitably felt gloomy and disappointed.

"Don’t be discouraged, it’s all about personal effort, there’s not completely no way." Grandpa Miao felt he spoke too harshly and comforted, "A person’s brain is the most mysterious thing; that blood clot might disperse on its own, and your eyes may heal themselves."

Undeniably, Grandpa Miao’s words weren’t wrong, but how long would it take for the blood clot to disperse on its own?

A day, a month?

Or a year, ten years, possibly a lifetime?

This was like winning a lottery, wholly relying on luck. Some people spend a lifetime buying tickets and might never win big.

...

Fat Aunt went to wash clothes, a doctor’s white coat. She had never touched a white coat in her life. Being able to wash this coat made Fat Aunt feel so honored.

Grandpa Miao went home with the little girl to brew medicine.

Tang Jun stayed by Yuan Yu’s bedside. Even though he couldn’t see Yuan Yu, he felt at ease with her presence. Holding her hand and feeling her warmth, he had countless things he wished to say, but as his lips moved, he didn’t know what to say.

Yuan Yu, how could you be so silly.

Why risk your life to find me?

Why be so foolish?

Grandpa Miao told him Yuan Yu’s hands seemed to have lots of cuts from searching for things.

Tang Jun closed his eyes, as if he could see her small figure, in the deep mountains and forests, searching for him pitifully. He must have fallen into a dark river. He distinctly felt a bump, then he fell further into the water.

Was Yuan Yu the same, coming here like this?

Tang Jun had many questions but felt no need to ask them.

"Yuan Yu, if my eyes can be healed, I swear I won’t let you down." Tang Jun murmured softly, yet each word was clear. His sightless eyes looked toward Yuan Yu, with resolute, gentle and tender on his face.

Lunch was at Fat Aunt’s house, Tang Jun felt somewhat embarrassed. Fat Aunt said, "Don’t feel embarrassed, we’re happy to help."

Fat Aunt’s family of four was quite nice. Tang Jun ate a simple meal, drank the medicine the little girl brought, and stayed by Yuan Yu’s side, hoping she’d see him the moment she woke.

Yet, Yuan Yu didn’t wake before Tang Jun heard the little girl’s urgent voice running over, saying, "Brother Tang, someone else is here, someone else is here."

"Did you pick someone from the river again?" Tang Jun thought someone might have been rescued from the water again, guessing inwardly who that could be, but heard the little girl denying, "No, he’s alive, he walked over."

"Grandpa asked me to take you to see if you know him."

The little girl said while running with Tang Jun.

Hearing her mention a very handsome man, Tang Jun knew it must be someone looking for him, yet he wondered who?

Meng Siyu had walked along the river, unable to find Yuan Yu, seeing this village. Upon learning they saved Tang Jun, he was thrilled and went with Grandpa Miao to Fat Aunt’s house to find Tang Jun.

So, Tang Jun hadn’t gone far when Meng Siyu saw him.

"Xiao Jun, I knew you weren’t dead!"

Meng Siyu strode forward, landing a punch on Tang Jun’s shoulder.
