Chapter 758
Qi Mingyu remained silent for a moment before he slowly spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "Well! That would give the humans a little more protection on the mothership."
His tone seemed tired.
Zhou Shuwan couldn't help but turn his head to look at him.
His eyes were still empty, as if they had lost their former brilliance.
"Brother Xiaoyu, are you worried about something?" She finally couldn't help asking, with a hint of temptation in her tone.
Qi Mingyu was silent for a moment. Perhaps it was because the sea was calm today, which was a good time for people to speak their minds; or perhaps he could sense Zhou Shuwan's anxiety and entanglement along the way.
So after a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "Wanwan, I've been wondering recently, if my eyesight can't be restored, will it become a burden to you?"
There was a slight tremor in his voice, as if he was suppressing some emotion.
Zhou Shuwan's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but hold his hand tightly. He said firmly: "Brother Xiaoyu, what are you talking about? You have never been a burden to me!"
Qi Mingyu still didn't turn around, his eyes still gazing into the distance with emptiness: "Wanwan, I don't want to be a burden to you like a useless person. You can definitely live a good life with your parents Mumu! And I... I can't do anything."
There was a hint of self-mockery in his tone, even a hint of decadence.
Zhou Shuwan felt a pang of pain in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his voice: "Qi Mingyu, what nonsense are you talking about?! You are not a useless person! You have always been my strongest support! The current situation is only temporary. I will find a way to cure your eyes. No matter what method I use, I will never give up on you!"
Her voice was sharp, even angry.
She had been suppressing this anger deep in her heart until it erupted today.
Qi Mingyu's hand trembled slightly, and his fingertips tightened unconsciously.
His Adam's apple rolled, as if a thousand words were swirling in his throat, but in the end he only uttered a low, hoarse word: "I just... feel useless."
Zhou Shuwan held his hand tightly: "Why do you think so? You are not useless, you are just-"
"I can't see anymore," Qi Mingyu interrupted her, a hint of bitterness in his tone. "Shu Wan, I can't see anymore. Now I have to rely on others for even the most basic actions. What else can I do? I can't even take care of myself, let alone protect you and my family."
His voice was so low that it was almost swallowed by the sea breeze, but every word hit Zhou Shuwan's heart like a hammer.
Her eyes were slightly hot, she bit her lip, and tried to keep her voice steady: "Qi Mingyu, listen to me, you are not a burden, never have been!"
Her tone suddenly became stern: "I know you are confused about your loss of eyesight, and I also know you are worried about the future. But, Qi Mingyu, I tell you, no matter how difficult the future is, I will not give up on you! We are now fighting a natural disaster. This is like a race for life, and I will definitely win! I will take you and your family to the end of this race! If you don't want to go, I will drag you away! I won't leave you alone in the dark!"
Her voice echoed on the sea breeze with unquestionable power.
Qi Mingyu's heart suddenly trembled and his eyes became slightly hot.
He held Zhou Shuwan's hand tightly, as if trying to draw strength from her palm.
"Wanwan..." His voice was hoarse and difficult: "Thank you!"
Zhou Shuwan couldn't hold back her tears, but she didn't wipe them away. She just nodded vigorously: "Okay, Brother Xiaoyu, you must remember that no matter what happens, I will not abandon you. We will face everything together and go to the end together."
Qi Mingyu's heart was wrapped in a warmth he had never felt before.
He exerted a little force with his arms and suddenly pulled Zhou Shuwan into his arms.
