Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1205: Chapter 1205: Collision (Thirty-Second Update)

Jing City.

Tang Yue and Tang Jun had no idea that Zhang Hualian and the others had already boarded a plane to Jing City.

"Sis, maybe I should go to the company." Tang Jun suggested.

"No way."

Tang Yue refused without a second thought. Although the company was indeed familiar to Tang Jun, precisely because it was familiar, if Tang Jun stayed there every day, he would definitely be more eager to get his eyesight back.

If he stayed in such a place for a long time, Tang Jun would certainly feel even more pressure and urgency.

"We might as well tell the truth; we can’t keep this a secret." Tang Yue pressed her lips together and said, "Mom and Dad might blame us for hiding it, but they’ll be more worried about you. Xiao Yang’s wedding—isn’t that something you want to attend?"

Tang Jun remained silent. Nowadays, he acknowledged Lian Qingyang as his brother, and naturally, he wanted to attend Lian Qingyang’s wedding.

"Sis, then how should we put it?"

Even though Tang Jun was smart, at this moment, he didn’t know what to say.

"Just tell the truth." Tang Yue comforted him encouragingly, "Don’t overthink it. Treat it as a challenge, a hurdle; there will come a day when we overcome it."

"Zaozao and Chenchen have a break in a couple of days. They want to go to the park to play. Do you want to take them?" Tang Yue changed the subject.

"Sure."

After the experience last week, Tang Jun didn’t find it stressful to take Zaozao and Chenchen out, and being with the two little ones made him genuinely happy and cheerful.

"Okay, then. I’ll leave them with you over the weekend. Consider it a break. They love having you around to play and have fun." Tang Yue said with a smile; when Tang Jun was home, the kids liked to hang out with him.

Chenchen slept separately with Si Yu, but Zaozao still slept squeezed next to Tang Jun.

She still remembered Chenchen’s unhappy look, looking aggrieved at Si Yu, saying, "Daddy, I want to sleep with Uncle too."

"No, you are a girl, and your uncle is a boy. You can’t sleep together." Si Yu had allowed Chenchen to sleep squeezed with Tang Jun for a day only because of Tang Jun’s eye problems.

If Chenchen was to squeeze in with Tang Jun every day, Si Yu wouldn’t stand for it.

"I am just a kid." Chenchen pouted, blinking innocently.

Even Tang Yue couldn’t stand it, her daughter was so adorable and she really couldn’t bear to say no.

"Sis, you go ahead. I’ll just listen to the radio and exercise in the yard." Tang Jun hurried Tang Yue out.

"I’m not going anywhere today; I’ll just be in the studio. Call me if anything comes up."

Tang Yue had to work on the client designs from Qin Anyu and was also busy designing clothes for Xie Ni’s concert, which, although happening in the second half of the year, was already fast approaching in April. If she didn’t rush to design now, she’d be pressed for time later.

In short, Tang Yue was busy.

...

At Jing City Airport, Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian arrived with Zhang Qiang in the afternoon. Without resting, they headed straight to the Siheyuan to find Tang Yue.

Since Tang Yue was in Jing City, she’d definitely be at the Siheyuan.

Tang Jun was practicing in the yard when he heard the door open and asked, "Who is it?"

"Xiao Jun?"

Zhang Hualian, initially feeling a bit airsick and dizzy, became excited upon seeing Tang Jun and walked over, saying, "Xiao Jun, why are you home? I thought you went back to the company?"

"Mom." Tang Jun stiffened, not daring to look directly at Zhang Hualian. He turned and shouted towards the next door, "Sis, Mom is here."

"Oh no."

Tang Yue, deep in thought, was startled by Tang Jun’s voice. She put down her drafts and ran out.

"Xiao Jun."

Tang Zhengde stepped forward, standing in front of Tang Jun.

"Mom, Dad, when did you get here? Why didn’t you tell me?"

Tang Jun, to avoid being found out, could only ascertain people by their footsteps.

Zhang Hualian and Tang Zhengde knew this, but there was someone else too?

Tang Jun’s head was aching.

"I was just saying to Dongzi yesterday, if you’re not at the company, you must be gathering herbs in some corner. I didn’t expect you to be home." Zhang Qiang spoke excitedly, thinking he’d wait until Lian Qingyang’s wedding to see Tang Jun, but unexpectedly saw him right after getting off the plane.

"Why didn’t you contact us when you had time?" Zhang Qiang patted Tang Jun’s shoulder, excited about the moment when the four of them would reunite.

"Qiangzi, are you on break too?"

Tang Jun adjusted his voice to face Zhang Qiang.

"Tang Jun, what’s wrong with your eyes?" Tang Zhengde, though a man and somewhat insensitive, could clearly see the change in his son.

To verify Tang Jun’s blindness, Tang Zhengde waved his hand in front of Tang Jun.

Tang Jun showed no reaction at all.

Zhang Qiang, holding Tang Jun’s hand, was stunned and looked in disbelief at Tang Jun’s eyes, realizing they held no light.

"How can he not see?" Zhang Hualian realized belatedly.

"Dad, Mom."

When Tang Yue arrived, they had already realized.

...

Half an hour later, Zhang Hualian’s eyes were swollen from crying. Knowing Tang Jun was blind from falling off a cliff while gathering herbs, she scolded Tang Jun harshly and also blamed Tang Yue.

Their siblings were indeed becoming bolder, hiding such a big issue from her.

"Hualian, Xiao Yue and Xiao Jun were just afraid of worrying us." Tang Zhengde also felt pain but was more rational compared to Zhang Hualian’s tears. He comforted her, saying, "Stop scolding them. They’re upset too. Besides, do you want to burden Xiao Jun with your worries?"

Tang Jun and Tang Yue hung their heads silently, inwardly giving Tang Zhengde a thumbs up.

They didn’t dare to tell their parents, precisely because they were worried.

Seeing Zhang Hualian’s heartbreak also pained them.

Zhang Qiang sat aside, silently processing what was said. Though he was a neurosurgeon, compared to neurology experts, he was just a newcomer in the hospital. If experienced old doctors couldn’t do anything, he definitely couldn’t either.

"I feel awful. Something happened to Xiao Jun, and I, his mother, knew nothing." Zhang Hualian choked out, feeling deeply guilty.

"The incident has passed, and crying won’t help. The priority now is to treat Xiao Jun’s eyes and thank Grandpa Miao and the girl." Tang Zhengde was very grateful to the Miao family, for if they hadn’t found Tang Jun, who knows what further harm might have happened to him?

"Yes, we should thank them. But Xiao Jun, where will you have your eyes treated?" Zhang Hualian asked anxiously, looking at Tang Jun, who had his head down and looked so forlorn. Her heart ached, realizing that the one who suffered the most was Tang Jun.
