Wen Xu had been avoiding himself, yet he had also let his flaws show everywhere. He hoped things could remain like this, but also hoped someone would pierce through him. Unfortunately, Chunchou trusted him too much, while Chen Zui simply did not care at all.
Wen Xu had not expected that the first person to expose him would be Chen Hezhi.
The silence spread in all directions like a potent dose of mute medicine. Even lively Bian Chunchou did not dare breathe too deeply, afraid that making any sound would cause Wen Xu-Xu to retreat back into his turtle shell. Yet perhaps it was precisely this atmosphere that gave Wen Xu the courage to admit it openly. He had never imagined that he was such a cowardly person.
"Mm. I'm not blind."
He really could see. Bian Chunchou covered his face in anguish. "Was I... too slow on the uptake? Chen Zui-Zui clearly said you could see, and I told him not to be so suspicious." Help, I'm about to cry myself stupid.
"I'm sorry. I deceived all of you."
Bian Chunchou immediately waved a hand. "All right, I generously forgive you. But there aren't any other things you've hidden, right?" Like saying he was going back to rest, then secretly going back to become a study maniac.
Still, Wen Xu-Xu pretending to be blind was not impossible to understand. After all, only he had seen Wen Xu-Xu's miserable state when he had been on the verge of death after falling off the cliff. And Wen Xu-Xu had not explicitly said that he was blind at the time—it was Chunchou himself who had misunderstood, and Wen Xu-Xu had simply gone along with the current.
Besides, Chunchou had always concealed his identity as a transmigrator from his friends. Everyone had secrets.
