Chapter 1 The Blind Man in the Bar
In the dim bar, Xu Youming sat alone in a corner, holding a glass of cheap strong liquor in his hand, which he had specially asked the bartender to mix.
His already handsome face looked even more charming under the light, and the messy stubble on his chin added a touch of messy charm.
"Handsome, would you be interested in buying me a drink?"
A plump woman came uninvited and sat next to Xu Youming, like a couple, and directly put her arm around Xu Youming's arm.
"I don't have money to buy wine, don't waste your time here!"
Smelling the pungent scent of perfume, Xu Youming knew that she was a bartender.
Xu Youming didn't even raise his head and directly rejected the other party, allowing the other party to hold his arms.
"Haha, don't be so unkind. For a handsome guy like you, it's okay if I don't ask for money."
The woman had no intention of leaving. She deliberately tightened her arms around Xu Youming, almost burying his arms in her plumpness.
Xu Youming remained indifferent and gently took off his sunglasses.
"Is it still handsome like this?"
"ah!"
The woman screamed in fright when she saw Xu Youming's eyes behind his sunglasses.
A centipede-like scar passed under Xu Youming's eyebrows, accurately covering both eyes, which was shocking.
It turns out that he wore sunglasses in the bar not to look cool, but to cover up the fact that he was blind.
"It's so unlucky. Why would a blind man go to a bar? It's my bad luck."
The woman immediately jumped up and ran away quickly as if she was avoiding the plague.
Xu Youming put on his sunglasses gently, stood up and prepared to go to the bar for another refill.
This situation has occurred more than once in the past two months, and he has become accustomed to it.
Two months ago, he was the top archery athlete in the school and had even made it to the national team. However, in the Olympic trials, he actually broke the resilient bowstring of his compound bow.
The broken bowstring passed through his eyes like a sharp blade, and in an instant, he fell from a talented player to the abyss.
Although the bar was noisy, Xu Youming was able to walk normally without bumping into others thanks to his powerful hearing .
This is why he has been staying in the bar since he was discharged from the hospital, using the messy environment to train his hearing.
"Brother Ming!"
As soon as Xu Youming arrived at the bar, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Xiao Lan? Why are you here?!"
"I couldn't find you at your place, and you didn't answer my phone calls. Fatty told me you might be here."
The girl looked at Xu Youming with a distressed expression, her tone full of concern.
Xu Youming chuckled. Yes, the fat man must have tipped off the person who was able to find this place.
He didn't want Xiaolan to see his current state.
"Brother Ming, drink less alcohol, it's not good for your health."
As she spoke, Xiaolan took away Xu Youming's wine glass and placed a square box in his arms instead.
"This is a new sensor helmet developed by the place where I do my internship. A game will be released tomorrow. Wearing this helmet, you will be able to see again in the game."
When Xu Youming heard the words "see the light again", his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Light is so important only after we lose it.
His eyes were injured by the bowstring and the doctor said there was no chance of recovery in his lifetime because the nerves were damaged and even a transplant was not possible.
Can the things in the box really help me see again?
Although he found it hard to believe, he knew that Xiaolan would not joke with him about this matter.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Trying to suppress his excitement, Xu Youming accepted the box.
"Well, they are still waiting for me outside. I have to go back first."
Xiaolan did not say that she wanted to send Xu Youming back. She knew that Xu Youming had a strong personality and in his current state, he definitely did not want to see anyone outside.
"good."
"Also, I'm going to start working soon, so I won't be able to visit you often. You have to take care of yourself and contact me if you have any questions."
After saying that, Xiaolan reluctantly left the bar, ending her brief contact with Xu Youming.
The noisy sound continued, but Xu Youming's heart was no longer here. The box in his hand, filled with his hopes, seemed as heavy as a thousand pounds.
After Xiaolan went away, Xu Youming followed her quietly.
Although Xiaolan has been trying to stabilize her emotions, Xu Youming always feels that she is hiding something.
What he said about not being able to visit me often because of work is simply nonsense.
He grew up in an orphanage with this little girl. She had always stuck to Xu Youming since she was young, following him wherever he went.
Although she was later adopted, she still often came to visit Xu Youming, and finally even got into the same school as Xu Youming.
Is there any job that can directly change her personality?
When he arrived at the door of the bar, Xu Youming did not rush out, but quietly hid behind the door.
Sure enough, the voices of Xiaolan and his adoptive parents were heard not far away.
"Xiao Lan, you have delivered the things. You should have less contact with him in the future. You can enter Hualong Enterprise, so you must seize this opportunity."
"I see."
Xiaolan nodded in agreement without a trace of rebellion. She has always been a good girl.
"Well, my dear daughter, don't blame your father for the orphanage. It's not that we don't want to help, but the orphanage has suffered too much loss in the past two years, and your father can't do anything about it."
"I know. I don't blame Dad. I will find a way to deal with the money."
There was a hint of stubbornness in Xiaolan's voice. She was unwilling to compromise on the matter of the orphanage.
Although they were at some distance, Xu Youming still heard the conversation between the three people clearly, and his heart was struck by lightning.
Is there a funding problem ?
As the roar of the car faded away, Xu Youming came out the door.
He took out his cell phone and wanted to call the dean to ask about the situation, but in the end he didn't make the call.
He grew up in an orphanage. Due to his naughty nature, no one came to adopt him. The orphanage director was like an old father to him.
He won many awards in shooting and received generous prize money, most of which he sent to the orphanage.
Now he is penniless, and the money for coming to the bar was supported by Fatty.
What good would it do if the call went through? How could I help the orphanage in my current condition?
Money !
Although he was an orphan before, Xu Youming had never worried about money. He had an amazing talent since childhood and had never won second place in shooting competitions.
Although the various bonuses were not much, I still lived a relatively wealthy life.
At this moment, Xu Youming realized how important money was.
The dean did not tell him about this matter, but he could not pretend that he knew nothing. It was time for him to find a job, so he could help in any way he could.
In the noisy night, Xu Youming walked towards the school alone.
