Xu Zixi sat down beside the hospital bed and let Yan Yincheng hold her wrist like this.
She stared intently at his face, which was still stunningly handsome even with the injuries. His nose was straight and sharp, his jawline was well - defined, his lips were neither too thick nor too thin, with a perfect shape. And his eyelashes, although his eyes couldn't see, were really long, like two fans...
She couldn't help but raise her hand and gently cover his eyelids. Although visually - impaired people can't see, they still have the ability to blink. Sensing something on his eyelids, he blinked, and his long eyelashes brushed against Xu Zixi's palm, tickling her like a butterfly fluttering into her heart and flapping its wings merrily.
"Zixi, are you taking advantage of the fact that I only have one working hand now and can't do anything to you?" Yan Yincheng said with a smile.
Xu Zixi replied, "I was just checking if you were sleeping obediently."
Yan Yincheng deliberately said, "I tried to sleep. But I can't fall asleep alone."
Xu Zixi caught his hint. She straightened up, blushing with annoyance, and said, "You're in this state, and yet your mind is filled with all sorts of nonsense!"
Yan Yincheng said very innocently, "I didn't say anything, Zixi. What do you think I meant just now?"
Xu Zixi's cheeks flushed. Of course, she wasn't going to admit that she thought he wanted to sleep with her!
Yan Yincheng shifted his body to the side, leaving some space on the left - hand side of the bed. He said to her, "Since you want to be with me, I'll reluctantly share half of the bed with you."
The man still had a bandage around his head, and his expression looked both innocent and pitiful. Xu Zixi was extremely angry. If it weren't for the fact that he was a patient, she really would have wanted to slap him a couple of times to shut his annoying mouth.
Xu Zixi turned her head away and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"Zixi," Yan Yincheng said. "Come here. Let me hug you properly."
Xu Zixi sighed, "You're injured."
"Just a hug," Yan Yincheng pleaded.
Xu Zixi's eyes flickered. She stared at him, at this man who had quietly made his way into her heart without her knowing. In the end, she couldn't resist her instinct and followed the desire deep in her soul to get closer to him. She carefully lay down on one side of the rather narrow hospital bed.
The moment her head came close, Yan Yincheng stretched out his arm and let the woman rest her head on his arm. His palm hooked around her shoulder and pulled her a bit closer to him.
His chin searched for her forehead. First, he rubbed his chin against it affectionately, then he lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Although the timing isn't right now, and it's a bit different from what I had expected, I still want to introduce myself to you formally."
"Miss Xu Zixi, hello. My name is Yan Yincheng. I'm from Fengcheng, Country C. My father's name is Yan Haikun, and my mother's name is Yin Shulan. I'm twenty - nine years old this year, and I'll be turning thirty in half a year. Unfortunately, I have a visual impairment and can't see. That is, in common terms, I'm blind. But don't worry. I have senses that are more acute than ordinary people, and I can earn a lot of money on my own. I'm currently the second - largest shareholder of the Yan Group in Fengcheng and the largest shareholder of the Pei Group in Haicheng. I have a net worth of tens of billions. I have several properties in both Fengcheng and Haicheng, as well as many luxury cars.
Oh, my assistant and bodyguards also said that I'm very handsome. Although I can't see, I think they wouldn't lie to me. So, Miss Xu Zixi, could you give me a chance to get to know you?"
His words made Xu Zixi burst out laughing.
This introduction sounded like he was meeting a blind - date partner, as if he was saying to her, "Look, I have a house, a car, and a lot of money. I'm also handsome. Do you want to try getting married with me?"
She raised her head and kissed his chin, then said,
"Hello, Mr. Yan Yincheng. My name is Xu Zixi. I'm from Country C in another world. I'm from Jing City. Jing City is what you call Fengcheng here. I'm from the Xu family in Jing City. The status of the Xu family in Jing City is comparable to that of the Yan family. I'm the only daughter in my family, and I have two older brothers."
After Xu Zixi finished speaking, she nervously looked at Yan Yincheng, observing his reaction. She saw him feign surprise and say,
"What? You're actually from another world? Am I dreaming? Or are you lying to me? Or did I develop auditory hallucinations from the car crash?"
Xu Zixi was so angry that she pinched him and said, "Stop pretending. You've known for a long time, haven't you? You even asked me about the story of my grandparents. I don't believe you asked that casually! You already guessed that I wasn't Yuan Xi when you heard someone say that Yuan Xi was allergic to alcohol, right?"
"Yeah, I guessed it a long time ago," Yan Yincheng said with a smile. "Zixi, tell me more. I want to know more about you."
She paused for a while and then continued.
"When I left the previous world, my net worth should have been about ten billion. But I didn't take over the family business. I was engaged in biomedical research. I built a research institute dedicated to developing special drugs for intractable diseases in the world. I've achieved remarkable results and helped countless patients successfully get rid of their diseases and regain their health. For this, I even received the Outstanding Contribution to Humanity Award from a world organization."
When talking about her past achievements, her words were filled with pride.
But to Yan Yincheng's ears, all he felt was heartache.
He had guessed many of her occupations, such as a chef, an architect, a business manager... but he never guessed that she was actually in the medical field. And with all her outstanding contributions, she left the world in such a tragic way. It was truly a pity.
No matter in which world, the sudden passing of a great pharmacist would only bring great losses to society.
"Zixi, you're really amazing," Yan Yincheng said sincerely.
Xu Zixi was as happy as a child and said excitedly, "Of course! I also think I'm amazing! I even transferred to study biopharmacy midway! But I completed the courses in less than two years, was directly recommended for postgraduate study, and even went on to get my doctorate. Even my tutor praised me as a once - in - a - century genius!"
He couldn't help but be curious and asked, "When you left the world, were you married?"
Xu Zixi was stunned. What did he mean by asking this?
Yan Yincheng said, "They say it's very difficult for a girl with a doctorate to find a partner. It's like becoming a nun. You..."
"I had a lot of suitors, okay! The line of people chasing me could circle the Earth ten times from my doorstep! Don't underestimate me!" Xu Zixi said angrily. "If I hadn't been so obsessed with my research, I could have changed boyfriends every day without repeating... Mmm..."
