Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets-Chapter 1190: He Was Blind All Along (Seventeenth Update)
"Okay." Tang Jun murmured in response. Both Grandpa Miao and Grandpa Xu had already given him acupuncture, but the blood clot in his brain showed no signs of improvement.
Grandpa Miao and Grandpa Xu had also advised Tang Jun to stop the acupuncture. The brain is the most important part of the human body, and they had already exhausted all their ideas. Continuing with the needles would be futile.
Yuan Yu.
Although he couldn’t see, he could infer Yuan Yu’s expression through her tone of speaking. Perhaps she truly had given up.
When she left, she was so resolute that she didn’t even hear his desperate shout as he arrived a step too late.
At the time when Yuan Yu asked him, Tang Jun’s mind raced with many thoughts, but the one thing he was sure of was that he didn’t want to lose Yuan Yu, and he didn’t want to spend the long days ahead without seeing her.
Sadly, by the time he came to his senses, Yuan Yu had already left.
Tang Jun’s hands were already numb with pain. He sat there dazedly, silently contemplating the future.
"Xiao Jun, I don’t know what you said to Yuan Yu, but you need to look forward. When your eyes are better, I’ll support you in winning her back." Tang Yue encouraged him, trying to offer Tang Jun a glimmer of hope.
"Sis, don’t worry, I’m fine."
Tang Jun said this, yet the lost look on his face indicated that he wasn’t as okay as he claimed.

On the helicopter.
From the moment Yuan Yu boarded the plane, she had been crying.
"Yuan Yu, you need to stop crying. If you keep crying, you’ll harm your eyes." Xu Qinglang looked at Yuan Yu with heartache.
He was just planning to bring some herbal medicine back to Jing City when he encountered Yuan Yu, who was crying nonstop. Xu Qinglang asked, "Did he bully you?"
"I’m going back to Jing City. Are you going back too?" Yuan Yu clung to Xu Qinglang as if he were a last life-saving straw. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
So, Xu Qinglang took Yuan Yu onto the helicopter.
But Yuan Yu kept crying, and despite Xu Qinglang’s attempts to comfort her, she continued without a moment’s pause.
"I want to cry."
Yuan Yu sobbed, her tear-filled eyes glaring at Xu Qinglang, constantly wiping her eyes with tissues, yet the tears flowed like a breached dam, impossible to stop.
"I can’t help it. I just want to cry."
Yuan Yu’s voice was hoarse and softer than usual due to her crying.
Xu Qinglang said with concern, "But your eyes won’t be able to stand it."
"I know, crying for a long time can harm your eyes, but I’m not crying all the time, am I?" Yuan Yu glared at Xu Qinglang through her tear-filled eyes. She just wanted to cry while Xu Qinglang kept talking beside her, which was terribly annoying.
"Can’t you just let me cry for a while?"
Yuan Yu choked out, accusingly.
Xu Qinglang closed his mouth and silently stayed by Yuan Yu’s side, handing her clean tissues every time the ones in her hand got soaked.
The wastebasket was nearly filled with used tissues.
In his heart, Xu Qinglang cursed Tang Jun thoroughly, but after all these days of contact, Xu Qinglang understood clearly why Tang Jun had won Yuan Yu’s affection and why she continued to persistently like him.
Tang Jun and Xu Qinglang were completely different types of people.
Xu Qinglang studied Chinese medicine and would eventually inherit Grandpa Xu’s legacy. Hence, his attentiveness and kindness towards patients naturally extended to how he dealt with others as well.
Xu Qinglang gave people a feeling of being like a spring breeze, gentle and refined.
But Tang Jun was different. He was very masculine. After graduating from school, he entered a company. He was very smart and decisive, and even with his eye problems, he remained proactive, doing what he could in the village and excelling at tasks not requiring sight.
Not to mention, Tang Jun had completed many outstanding missions at his company in the past.
Xu Qinglang took serious note of this, and even he couldn’t help but admire Tang Jun, seeing him as naturally talented in business.
After the entire journey to Jing City, Yuan Yu was still sobbing. Xu Qinglang helped her off the plane and said, "Yuan Yu, why don’t we go to my place first?"
"No, I want to go back to the company. Drive me back there." Yuan Yu looked around, and after crying for so long, the sunlight in Jing City made her instinctively shield her eyes with her hand.
Xu Qinglang thoughtfully stood beside Yuan Yu, blocking the light for her, saying, "Let’s go, I’ll take you."
Xu Qinglang drove Yuan Yu directly to the company, and along the way, her heightened emotions finally began to calm down.
It would take almost an hour to get back to the company, and Xu Qinglang checked the time and said, "Yuan Yu, why don’t we stop somewhere to eat something first?"
"I can’t eat." Yuan Yu said weakly, leaning back on her seat, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window, with no appetite.
Xu Qinglang made a detour to a restaurant, ordered a few of Yuan Yu’s favorite dishes, and said, "Smell this, doesn’t it smell delicious?"
Yuan Yu didn’t answer, but her stomach growled.
The aroma of food from other tables wafted over, and Yuan Yu, who claimed she couldn’t eat, now felt she could devour a whole cow.
"This place’s spicy boiled fish is especially tasty, numbing and spicy, you’ll definitely like it." Xu Qinglang said with a smile, not pointing out Yuan Yu’s current hungry state.
Before long, the dishes were served, and Yuan Yu began to eat heartily. She particularly loved spicy foods, something she picked up from her mother, who was from the south.
After a satisfying meal, Yuan Yu felt much better. She wiped her mouth and said, "Xu Qinglang, thank you for taking me for such a delicious meal. I’ll pay you back when we get back to the company."
"Yuan Yu, we’re friends. Isn’t it too hurtful to discuss money between us?"
"Anyway, friends treating each other to a meal is perfectly acceptable, right?"
"If you really feel uneasy, why don’t you treat me next time?"
Xu Qinglang said a lot, fearing Yuan Yu wouldn’t agree, he added, "I’m into Chinese medicine, and you’re into Western medicine. We can complement each other and have meaningful discussions."
"Okay."
Yuan Yu didn’t put on airs and thought a meal could simply be reciprocated next time.
They returned to the company in silence, and just as Yuan Yu was about to get out of the car, Xu Qinglang called out to her, saying, "Yuan Yu, there are many men in this world. You’re so outstanding, if he doesn’t like you, he’s blind. Someone will see your worth and like you."
Xu Qinglang’s words practically shouted come and see me, see how I appreciate your qualities, see how I like you.
"He’s already blind." Yuan Yu muttered, not noticing Xu Qinglang’s gaze. Speaking of Tang Jun only made her want to curse him harshly.
