The End Times as a Song

Chapter 328 Using Eye Contact

"Huan'er... Huan'er..."

Xiao Yuanran lay on the bed with her eyes closed, drenched in sweat. She shivered, then suddenly opened her eyes and sat up uneasily, her head covered in cold sweat and her breathing rapid and labored, as if she had been frightened. She kept murmuring Huan Rugo's name and curled up.

"Aran, are you alright...!"

"Broken Wing, it's you! What are you doing in my room...?"

"Aran, I'm just trying to cure your illness, aren't I?"

"Treat my illness? My eyes."

As if remembering something, Xiao Yuanran raised her hands to her eyes, widened her eyes, and tried to see if she could see clearly.

"Aran, can you see now?"

"I can't see anything...?"

Xiao Yuanran stared wide-eyed at the hands in front of her, blinked again, but they were still completely black.

Zheyi stepped forward with concern, grabbed Xiao Yuanran's hands, put them down, supported Xiao Yuanran's shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and sat down.

Zheyi raised his right hand and waved it in front of Xiao Yuanran. Xiao Yuanran's eyes were empty, and she didn't react at all. Zheyi's expression was solemn.

Xiao Yuanran was disgusted by Zheyi's behavior. She raised her slender right hand, pushed Zheyi's left hand away, nudged Zheyi's chest with her shoulder, broke free from Zheyi's embrace, and expressed her dissatisfaction with Zheyi's behavior.

Even with broken wings, he wasn't angry; he just gave an awkward smile.

"Ran's mother, you're awake! That's wonderful!!"

Xiong Xi leaned closer, waved his hand in a serious manner, and tested Xiao Yuanran's eyesight several times.

"Xiong Xi, I'm fine, it's just that everything is still black in front of me and I can't see anything."

Xiao Yuanran replied to Xiong Xi with a hint of disappointment.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she looked up and asked Xiong Xi.

"Where's Huan'er? Why isn't she here? Where did she go?"

"Sister Huan'er, she...."

"Bear attack..."

Just as Xiong Xi was about to blurt it out, Zhe Yi interrupted him, gave him a look, and waved his hand to signal that Xiong Xi should not speak.

"Uncle Zhe..."

Xiong Xi glanced at Zheyi, then at Xiao Yuanran, looking quite troubled.

"Xiong Xi, Huan'er, what happened to her?"

Xiao Yuanran bombarded Xiong Xi with questions. Seeing this, Zheyi immediately spoke up to comfort Xiao Yuanran.

"Aran, what could possibly happen to Huan'er at home? Just listen to me and take good care of yourself. Your eyes aren't good, and you're not feeling well either, so don't worry about Huan'er all the time. You're just overworking yourself, that's why your eyes haven't recovered yet."

“Broken Wing, tell me honestly, has something happened to Huan’er?”

“Mother Ran, Sister Huan’er, she…”

"Xiong Xi... Go, go, go... get me a glass of water."

"okay……"

Xiong Xi almost blurted it out in a moment of carelessness. Fortunately, Zhe Yi interrupted Xiong Xi in time and sent him away.

"Huan'er is fine. Just stay in your room. What could possibly happen?"

"Broken Wing, help me to find Huan'er, I need to speak with her..."

"This isn't a good idea! It's the middle of the night, Huanhuan is probably asleep. It's really not appropriate for us to go and find her now."

"Can't you understand me? I said I need to talk to Huan'er."

"Why can't we talk about this before dawn? Why do we have to do it in the middle of the night?"

"In the dead of night... Uncle Zhe."

Xiong Xi poured a glass of water and handed it to Zheyi, awkwardly pointing to the sunlight scattered on the ground. His expression seemed to say, "I'm just watching you spout nonsense with such a straight face."

"Xiong Xi, help me..."

"Ah...! Me?! That's not a good idea!"

"What's wrong with this? Are you hiding something from me?"

“Aran…”

"Shut up, Xiong Xi, are you taking me with you or not?"

Xiao Yuanran sternly stopped the broken-winged creature and turned to Xiong Xi.

“I… Uncle Zhe.”

"Aran, don't be like that, you'll scare Xiong Xi, he's just a child."

Xiong Xi helplessly turned to Zhe Yi for help, but Zhe Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed. Xiong Xi quickly nodded in agreement.

"Uh-huh……"

“Mother Ran… Sister Huan’er is really sleeping…! It’s not good to go now! Not good, not good.”

“Xiong Xi, if you’re not taking me with you, then I’ll go by myself…”

"Okay, okay... Ran, I'll go with you, I'll take you... Don't rush. Wait a moment, it's late now, I'll go get you some clothes first..."

Zheyi got up and walked towards the screen, subtly gesturing with her small hand for Xiong Xi to follow. Xiong Xi immediately understood and followed.

"You brat, if you can't speak properly, then speak less."

"Uncle Zhe, I'm so sorry for causing you trouble. What should we do now?"

"Come here with your ears."

"Uncle Zhe, is this really how it should be done?"

"Otherwise what? Don't think Xiao Yuanran is easy to fool just because she's blind. She's very shrewd."

"OK then……"

Zheyi took a simple outer garment from behind the screen and draped it over Xiao Yuanran. Taking advantage of the moment, he waved to Xiong Xi, signaling him to quickly slip into Huanruge's room. Xiong Xi understood Zheyi's meaning, feeling embarrassed and helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He could only run to Huanruge's room ahead of time, quickly pull back Huanruge's blanket, and awkwardly hide inside.
