Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1139: Chapter 1139: I’ll Be Uncle’s Eyes

"Uncle?" Zaozao stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of Tang Jun’s eyes, but Tang Jun’s eyes showed no reaction.

Zaozao’s small face suddenly turned pale with fear. Even though he had read many books, experiencing such fear and helplessness firsthand made him feel very overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do.

Were Uncle’s eyes blind, would he be unable to see in the future?

"Uncle, see a doctor." Zaozao only knew to seek a doctor, but didn’t know what else to do.

In his view, when you’re sick, you see a doctor, and after seeing the doctor you’re cured.

Uncle’s eyes had problems, so he also should see a doctor.

"Zaozao, Chenchen, don’t worry. Uncle’s eyes are only temporarily like this, they’ll definitely get better in the future."

Tang Jun didn’t believe his eyes would just remain blind like this.

"Uncle, can you not see anymore?" Chenchen blinked her big eyes as she looked up, trying hard to open her eyes wide to see Tang Jun’s eyes, as if wondering, aren’t Uncle’s eyes still there?

Why can’t Uncle see?

"Even if Uncle can’t see, he can still hold Chenchen, and won’t let Chenchen fall." Tang Jun lowered his head and rubbed his forehead against Chenchen’s.

"Tang Jun, there’s always hope, your eyes will definitely get better."

Mo Xiaolin spoke up to comfort him.

Tang Jun turned in the direction of Mo Xiaolin’s voice and said, "Aunt Mo, I also believe my eyes will get better."

Tang Jun grinned, revealing his white, neat teeth.

With Zaozao and Chenchen accompanying Tang Jun closely, Yuan Yu slightly relaxed.

"Uncle, I’ll take you to eat something."

"Uncle, be careful on the stairs."

Chenchen and Zaozao stood by Tang Jun’s side, one on each side, no matter where Tang Jun went, the siblings accompanied him like adults.

When Tang Jun had free time during the checkups, Chenchen chirped like a little bird non-stop, leaving Tang Jun with no time to feel sad.

Yuan Yu helped Tang Jun with the examination paperwork and confidently left Tang Jun with the two siblings, Zaozao and Chenchen.

"Uncle, in the future, I will be your eyes. Wherever you want to go, Chenchen will take you there." Chenchen spoke seriously with a straight face.

"Me too."

Zaozao chimed in.

Chenchen glared at Zaozao with puffed cheeks and said, "Zaozao, don’t fight with me for Uncle."

Chenchen hugged Tang Jun, afraid that Zaozao would take him away.

"Childish."

Zaozao calmly pouted and said, "Is Uncle only your uncle?"

No matter who fights over him, he’s still their uncle.

Chenchen held onto Tang Jun tightly, as if saying, ’Uncle is only my uncle’.

"You both don’t need to fight, I am the uncle of both of you. In the future, Uncle will protect both of you." Tang Jun extended his long arms and embraced both children.

After spending a day at the hospital, Tang Jun finally completed all his examinations.

His body had mostly healed at Mr. Miao’s place, except for the blood clot in his head, there were no other issues.

Tang Jun refused to be admitted to the hospital; since no surgery could be done on his head and no medication could be used, he didn’t want to stay in the hospital smelling disinfectant every day.

Yuan Yu also refused hospital admission and directly took some medicine to go back home.

Claiming she was looking after Tang Jun, Yuan Yu followed him closely.

On the way back, Zaozao and Chenchen muttered quietly together, "Is she the future aunt?"

"If you want to know, you can ask Uncle." Zaozao took a look at Yuan Yu, then at Tang Jun, thinking she must be the future aunt.

The way mom looks at dad is like Yuan Yu looks at Uncle.

Dad looks at mom like Uncle looks at Yuan Yu too.

"Uncle, is Aunt Yuan my future aunt?"

Chenchen turned to Tang Jun and asked.

Tang Jun had just taken a sip of water and almost choked on it.

Yuan Yu blushed, cleared her throat, and said, "Chenchen, do you want me to be your aunt?"

Yuan Yu looked at Chenchen expectantly, trying to make her smile look nicer, more kindly, hoping to leave a good impression on Chenchen.

"Yes." Chenchen nodded, her big blinking eyes twinkling, "I like you."

Just like Jin Yan, you look nice.

"I like you too." Yuan Yu’s eyes brightened, she quietly switched topics to avoid having Tang Jun answer directly.

She knew if Tang Jun’s eyes didn’t get better, he wouldn’t agree easily.

Having spent these days together, Yuan Yu felt Tang Jun had feelings for her. Yuan Yu encouraged herself, thinking she should follow Grandpa Miao’s prescriptions to properly nourish her body. If she married Tang Jun, she hoped they’d have a child together.

If they really had a child like in her dreams—a daughter—they would surely be very happy, wouldn’t they?

Yuan Yu quietly watched Tang Jun, wondering if they truly had a daughter, would the child resemble Tang Jun more or her more?

Yuan Yu looked at Zaozao and Chenchen again, remembering how good-looking they were. If they truly had a daughter, she’d surely be like Chenchen—beautiful, lovely, kind, and sweet.

Years later, when Yuan Yu achieved her dream, she regretted saying things carelessly and wished she could take back some of her words.

Beautiful and lovely, kind and sweet, but only in front of Yuan Yu and Tang Jun. Otherwise, the child acted like a little tomboy, causing trouble that gave Yuan Yu headaches.

Back at the Siheyuan, Mo Xiaolin had already begun cooking.

Tang Jun and Yuan Yu returned home with Zaozao and Chenchen, and after resting for a while, dinner could be served.

Tang Jun felt a bit embarrassed; his sister wasn’t home, neither were his parents, so he had to rely on his sister’s mother-in-law to take care of things for him.

"Xiao Jun, no need for courtesy. Your sister is like my own daughter. With your parents and sister not around, consider me family." Mo Xiaolin said with a smile, she was very familiar in Tang Yue’s Siheyuan.

Knowing this was Sister Xiao Yue’s mother-in-law, Yuan Yu didn’t feel right sitting and waiting for dinner, so she followed behind Mo Xiaolin, hoping to leave a good impression.

She had heard many colleagues complain about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships, but seeing Sister Xiao Yue’s mother-in-law, Yuan Yu thought not all mothers-in-law are unreasonable.

Yuan Yu warmly called "Aunt Mo" with sincere enthusiasm.

Originally, Zaozao and Chenchen were back home with one reading and the other watching TV, but they both gathered by Tang Jun’s side instead. One would ask if Tang Jun needed water, while the other would wash fruit for him to eat. Afraid that Tang Jun would get bored, they even turned on the TV for him.
