System Lady is as generous as always, giving millions in one go.
But this time, Lin Shuang didn't hesitate much and chose to stay with Yan Han.
He cared a bit about the task that this would trigger.
After having this system, the first thing Lin Shuang thought of was whether Yan Han's eyes could possibly be cured.
Oh almighty System Lady, please! Don't just be good at giving money!
Yan Han's empty eyes were still looking at him.
Her eyes were actually very beautiful, large and slender peach blossom eyes, with a pitiful teardrop mole at the corners.
Unfortunately, due to blindness, they had lost focus and vitality.
She spoke again, "I can take care of myself, you don't need to pity me."
Lin Shuang, holding a plate of fried rice, plopped down next to her, "I mainly came here today to get something done, and then suddenly a huge rain started, so I had to take shelter here."
"What's that got to do with me?" Yan Han turned her head towards him.
The two were very close, and with her speaking, a warm, moist breath hit Lin Shuang's face.
It carried the light fragrance of jasmine, a flavor of chewing gum Yan Han really liked.
"You wouldn't want your poor Brother Shuang to be drenched like a drowned rat, right? Please, let me stay for the night."
Lin Shuang's tone was so pitiful, as if he had really been caught in the heavy rain.
Yan Han didn't pick up on his cue, instead asking, "Is it raining outside?"
Lin Shuang glanced at the beautiful clear sunset outside the window, "Yes, it's raining really heavily."
It seemed she finally accepted his explanation, Yan Han stopped talking, just sitting there looking at him.
He reached out and pressed the switch behind the sofa, turning on the living room light.
The anime episode on TV had reached its climax, starting to thunder and lightning.
Lin Shuang stared at Yan Han's cheeks and grinned, "Listen, it's thundering too."
Her always indifferent face finally flashed with a hint of other emotions.
That was probably the look of about to lose it and wanting to punch him.
Like the playful fighting between siblings in the past.
But in the end, she turned her face away,
Lin Shuang shook the bowl he was holding, "Want some fried rice?"
Yan Han's eyes turned towards the window, where the drunk sunset was about to sink below the horizon, a breathtaking scene, but sadly all she saw was darkness.
"I also have some leftover takeout."
"Too bad, I added several eggs."
Lin Shuang smacked his lips as he swallowed a mouthful of fried rice, "Mmm~ really delicious~"
Yan Han's hand resting on the sofa slowly clenched into a fist.
Lin Shuang scooped up a spoonful of fried rice, swaying it in front of her nose, "Smell this, it's so fragrant~"
He vividly described, "Each grain of rice is coated with golden egg, each distinct..."
It was almost like he could be a commentator for a gourmet documentary.
Finally, Yan Han couldn't hold back.
She ow-wow bit into the fried rice offered at her mouth, and then snatched Lin Shuang's bowl.
"Since you want to stay... then go eat the leftover takeout, I'll have the fried rice."
She found a good reason like a little sister.
Lin Shuang grinned, propping his chin with his hands, watching her eat little by little.
Adorable like a little hamster.
Of course, he definitely shouldn't laugh out loud, or he'd mostly likely be chased out.
"The bowl is yours to wash," commanded Yan Han, still with a stern face.
"Of course, happy to serve."
…
After dinner, Yan Han returned to her bedroom and did not come out again.
Lin Shuang spent the night on the sofa.
He washed the pots and dishes, and also helped tidy up the house a bit.
Due to blindness, Yan Han could mostly only rely on memory, feeling, and sound for doing anything.
For example, everything had to be placed in remembered positions.
Slippers needed to be carefully placed and not kicked around, otherwise, Yan Han would have to go barefoot.
The TV remote control had to be placed in a fixed storage box on the table, otherwise, she couldn't turn on the TV.
Similarly, various kitchen utensils also had to be placed on a fixed rack, otherwise, she couldn't cook.
Once, Yan Han accidentally dropped a knife on the floor, and it went missing.
She squatted on the floor carefully feeling around with her hands, but she couldn't find it no matter what.
Thus, she ended up eating instant noodles and takeout for several days.
Actually, she was not very keen on ordering takeout; a blind young girl living alone felt a natural resistance and fear towards the outside world and strangers.
Every time the takeout arrived, she would ask the delivery person to leave it in the cabinet outside and only fetched it much later.
That knife was only found underneath the cupboard when Lin Shuang came to visit her.
Living independently as a blind girl was truly difficult.
But no matter how many times Lin Shuang urged her, she did not want to live with him and let him take care of her.
Even her attitude towards him, the inexpensive brother, had become increasingly distant.
Often like today, as soon as he arrived, Yan Han would ask him to leave...
Lin Shuang shook his head gently, tidied everything up, and then lay down on the sofa.
He pulled up the system interface, and the mission was already triggered.
[Mission description: Train Tong Yao into a Perfect Maid and there's a chance to obtain the medicine that could help Yan Han regain her sight]
[Mission clue: Tomorrow afternoon at 1 PM, at the teaching building in school, in the abandoned classroom at the end of the fifth floor, maybe important information can be obtained]
[Start decision-making]
[Choose to go, will trigger related branches]
[Refuse to go, a new clue will be refreshed in twenty-four hours, entering other branches]
Lin Shuang's eyes brightened, here it comes! There's really hope to cure Yan Han's sister's eyes! To let her live a normal life, enjoy the youth of a girl!
But the first keyword he noticed was "there's a chance to obtain."
He's played too many mobile games, he really had a bit of PTSD from such phrases!
What does "there's a chance to obtain" mean? Eighty pulls for a small guarantee? And a fifty percent chance for a deviation? One hundred sixty pulls for a big guarantee?
Nevertheless, even with just a sliver of a chance, for Yan Han's sister, Lin Shuang had to try.
Then, he started pondering over this so-called clue.
It was as if an option box from a two-dimensional beautiful girl dating game appeared in front of him.
Choosing different options would lead to different endings!
Maybe it's a grand reunion, or it might be a bad ending.
And there's no way to save the game in reality.
It didn't take Lin Shuang long to decide; he still chose to wait until noon the day after tomorrow and check out that classroom.
Hesitation leads to defeat.
Holding the pillow with Yan Han's sister's face on the sofa, the gentle jasmine fragrance lingered, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't know how much time had passed when, in the quiet of the night,
the door to Yan Han's bedroom silently opened.
The girl in pink pajamas tiptoed to Lin Shuang's side and crouched down.
Under the gentle moonlight, she held his hand and gazed at him for a long time.
"Brother Shuang..."
Her little head rested on his chest.
