Chapter 3-Little blind girl

The following day was a Friday.

Meng Ting finished her milk, Shu Zhi Tong as usual took a look at her eyes. Followed by saying: “ I’ll only be able to come back on the weekends now to cook for you guys, it’s starting to get very hectic at the research centre. Ting Ting and Shu Yang, could you guys just eat at school first before heading home?”

Shu Yang muttered in agreement.

Meng Ting also nodded.

Shu Zhi Tong continues: “Shu Yang, you take good care of yourself, okay? She’s your older sister, her eyes are not doing very well these days, you guys are in the same form, don’t let anyone bully her.”

Shu Yang replied: “ She doesn’t need me to take care of her.”

“This kid……”

Shu Zhi Tong felt slightly awkward, he then pulled Meng Ting aside, apologetically saying: “ Ting Ting, don’t mind him.”

Meng Ting smiled: “I won’t, he’s just tough on the outside, but soft on the inside.

Shu Zhi Tong continued embarrassedly: “ Could you do me a favour?”

“Lan didn’t come back last night, she told me she’s staying over at her friend’s place. She’s all grown up now, there’s a lot of things I can’t control anymore. I’m afraid in school, she’ll ……” He stopped, letting out a sigh for his daughter. “I’m scared she’ll go on a wrong path if she’s dating anyone at such a young age, you’re smart, so keep an eye on her okay?”

Meng Ting was still bothered by the fact that Shu Lan left her there to die.

If Shu Lan didn’t untie the rope, she wouldn’t have died. Even more so, she was risking her life to look for her missing step-brother who went missing down the hill. She didn’t have the chance to ask Shu Lan why she did what she did, a thorn always remained in her heart ever since.

Looking at the man in front of her, ageing, his hair turning whiter as days pass, stressed out about his children, Meng Ting couldn’t say a word, but nod.

Meng Ting and Shu Yang headed to school, one in front of the other.

They both went to Seven High, grade 7, Meng Ting was in Class 1, Shu Yang in Class 2.

Both of them were the smartest in class.

Meng Ting looked at his slim figure from behind, after the incident, she got severely burned, but Shu Yang and Father Shu had never given up on her and persisted to provide her with medications.

Shu Yang’s figure got further and further away from her, before crossing the road, he looked back, his gaze sweeping for Meng Ting, slowly coming to a stop, as he patiently waited for her.

They both arrived at school at 7:45 a.m., silently walking to their own classrooms.

Everyone greeted her as she walked into the classroom.

“Good Morning, Meng Ting.”

“Good Morning.”

This year, she was the class representative for English.

Everyone knew that she wasn’t very well off, that she got involved in an accident with her mom, and her mum passed, leaving her blind. Luckily enough, her good grades in middle school enabled her to be fully sponsored by them to Seven High. She always got the highest in class for exams, except that one exam she missed because of her surgery, she was the perfect role model.
