Chapter 21: The Conversation About Light
The bell rang, and the classroom gradually grew noisy. Su Feiyan packed his books, and the sound of footsteps and laughter from his classmates filled the air as they left. Lin Xi stood beside him, hesitating whether to speak.
"Su Feiyan," she finally said softly, her voice a little nervous, "Can I ask you a question?"
Su Feiyan looked up. Though he couldn't see her, he sensed her nervousness. "Of course. What's on your mind?"
"Um…" Lin Xi hesitated, glancing down at her shoes. "Is your eyesight… something you're born without?"
Su Feiyan smiled slightly, his tone light. "Yes. I have congenital optic nerve atrophy, so I've never been able to see anything."
Lin Xi looked up, letting out a small sigh of relief, her voice carrying a hint of apology. "I… I was worried that question might offend you…"
"No, not at all." Su Feiyan shook his head, his voice warm. "If you're ever curious about anything like this, feel free to ask. I don't mind."
Lin Xi's face flushed slightly, and she quickly nodded. After a brief silence, she seemed to gather her courage to ask another question. "So… how did you write your composition? I thought, with the topic 'Light,' it might be a bit difficult for you?"
Su Feiyan let out a gentle sigh and nodded. "It was a little challenging. After all, I've never seen light, so I don't really know what it's like."
Lin Xi looked a little stunned, but then shyly whispered, "But you wrote it really well. I think… you wrote about the light you feel from the people who love you. That was really beautiful."
"Light I feel?" Su Feiyan repeated, seemingly savoring her words.
"Yes," Lin Xi's tone became more confident. "Light doesn't have to be something you see with your eyes; it can be something you feel in your heart. Like the sun."
Su Feiyan's lips curled up in a slight smile. "You're right. I actually really like basking in the sun. Even though I can't see it, I can feel its warmth, like it's talking to me."
"I feel the same way," Lin Xi responded softly, her eyes brightening a little. "Sometimes when I feel lonely or sad, the sun gives me comfort."
"Yeah," Su Feiyan nodded, slightly tilting his head. "It's like it's telling us, no matter what, it's always there."
Lin Xi fell silent but felt a warm, indescribable sense of comfort rising in her heart. At that moment, she felt that there was a special connection between her and Su Feiyan, like the sunlight gently bridging the distance between them.
After class, the noise in the classroom gradually died down, and Su Feiyan heard Lin Xi softly say, "Do you want to go outside for a bit? The sun's nice out there."
Su Feiyan stood up and nodded slightly. "Sure. Lead the way."
The two walked out of the classroom, Lin Xi carefully guiding him, making sure to warn him gently, "There's a threshold here, watch out." The hallway was full of students chatting and laughing, the buzz of conversation mixing with the sound of shoes on the tiles. Su Feiyan followed her steps, walking slowly but without hesitation, his hand brushing against the cool walls as he navigated.
When they reached the playground, the sunlight was warm, washing over them like a gentle blanket. The mist in the air had cleared, and the sky above was a soft blue, with only a few wispy clouds drifting lazily by. The trees lining the edges of the field swayed lightly in the breeze, their leaves rustling with a soothing sound. Su Feiyan paused, tilting his head slightly, and took a deep breath. "It's really warm."
Lin Xi stopped beside him, glancing down at the ground, feeling the coolness of the earth under her shoes. She spoke softly, "When I feel stressed, I like to come out here and bask in the sun. Sometimes, I just stand there and don't think about anything."
Su Feiyan nodded, his smile gentle. "Yeah, I like that feeling too. The sun is warm, like an embrace."
The soft chirping of birds in the distance and the gentle murmur of other students playing added a sense of calm to the atmosphere. Lin Xi looked up at the sky, squinting her eyes a little, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Have you noticed that when the sun shines on you, it seems like all the worries just feel lighter?"
"True," Su Feiyan replied quietly, a subtle smile on his face. "Even though I can't see it, every time I feel the sunlight, I feel at peace. It's like it's telling me, 'It's okay, everything will be alright.'"
Lin Xi looked down at him, her voice soft. "When you put it like that, I really do feel like sunlight has some kind of magic."
The wind gently blew across the playground, carrying the scent of fresh grass and earth as it rustled through the leaves. The air felt crisp, yet comforting, and the soft sound of footsteps on the gravel path below added to the peaceful ambiance. In this moment, all the noise and worries seemed to fade away, leaving only the sunlight and breeze, quietly surrounding them. It felt as though, because they had each other's company, today's sun was even warmer and gentler.
