At the entrance of the hotel, Gu Ming placed my hand in his palm and gently held it.

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest. I'll have the driver come pick you up after it's over."

Due to his blindness, he always wore sunglasses.

Right now, a pair of eyes hidden behind the sunglasses were fixed on me.

I knew he could see.

I lowered my voice and spoke slowly, "Come back early, don't drink. I'll be waiting for you at home."

There was a hint of laughter in Gu Ming's voice, "Alright."

When I spoke gently and slowly, my voice sounded most like Wen Yi.

Wen Yi was Gu Ming's first love, who had just returned from abroad a month ago.

Tonight's gathering was to welcome her back.

After Gu Ming went in, I sat in the car and saw Wen Yi and her daughter.

Five years ago, news of Wen Yi's pregnancy reached China when Gu Ming went blind due to illness.

He was self-destructive every day, forcing his grandfather to send him abroad.

In desperation, Gu's grandfather found me.

He asked me if I was willing to marry Gu Ming.

I agreed.

Under Grandfather's arrangement, I married Gu Ming.

I got out of the car and followed Wen Yi and her daughter.

At the door of the private room, I saw Gu Ming sitting under the light, sunglasses placed by his side, his bright and focused eyes staring at Wen Yi, full of affection.

During the dinner, someone teased him about when he would divorce me and marry Wen Yi home.

Others asked Wen Yi's daughter to call him dad.

The little girl timidly nestled in her mother's arms, confused.

Wen Yi put down her daughter, took Gu Ming's hand, and gently said, "Just a nanny, I don't mind."

It turned out my voice sounded so much like hers.

But I have never been a gentle person.

During the thousands of days and nights when Gu Ming was blind, I played the role of Wen Yi countless times.

But no one knew that I was also looking at another person through him.

People are petty.

Now that his Wen Yi has returned, but my true love will never come back.

When Gu Ming came back at night, I turned off the lights and sat on the sofa.

Out of habit, he turned on the lights, and when he saw me, he was stunned.

"Shi Shi, is that you?"

I walked over to him, supporting him.

"It's me, I've been waiting for you."

Gu Ming was not good at acting.

Just two months after recovering his sight, he had forgotten that a blind person didn't need the lights on.

While Gu Ming was showering in the bathroom, I stood outside the door.

This was a habit we had developed over the years, so that I could be the first to notice if he fell.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and the man's faint voice came out:

"Shi Shi, when my eyes are better, we'll have a wedding, live a good life, okay?"

Grandfather had thought of holding a wedding for us, but Gu Ming refused.

This failed wedding ceremony had been mentioned by him recently.

When did it start?

It seemed to be after Wen Yi returned to China.

Seeing that I didn't respond,

the man's voice sounded a bit uneasy:

"Shi Shi, are you there?"

Gu Ming's phone was lit up on the bedside table, and I walked over, unlocking it with Wen Yi's birthday and saw the few voice messages she sent.

【I miss you so much.】

【Let's reconcile.】

【Tomorrow is Guo Guo's birthday, she also wants to see you, come and visit her.】

Scrolling up, Gu Ming was helping Wen Yi look for a house, buy furniture, and even bought a lot of children's toys for her.

During that time, Gu Ming was always working overtime or on business trips.

It turns out he was helping Wen Yi and her daughter set up their new home.

The last message was a video call from Gu Ming to her.

At two in the morning, they connected and chatted for an hour and twenty minutes.

That was the first day Wen Yi returned to China, and Gu Ming hadn't slept, finally calling her via video call.

That night, I didn't sleep either. As I looked at the light in the bathroom, I understood that his moonlight had returned.

Perhaps he no longer needed me as a substitute.

But could I still find a substitute who looked so much like him?

"Shi Shi, what are you doing?"

Gu Ming stood in front of me, dutifully playing the role of a blind man.

I put down my phone, stared at him straight, and casually told a lie.

"I'm reading a book."

His expression remained unchanged, blankly staring ahead.

"What book are you reading?"

I suddenly felt bored and didn't want to deal with him anymore, so I turned and went to bed.

"I'm tired, let's sleep."

After he got into bed, we lay back to back on opposite sides of the bed.

Although we had been married for five years, the number of times we shared a bed was very few.

When he was blind, he would call me Wen Yi in moments of deep emotion.

I embraced his neck, my legs entwined around his waist, responding softly and tenderly.

If I performed well, in the days that followed, he would often call my name.

Sometimes Shi Shi, sometimes Wen Yi.

In the morning, when I got up, Gu Ming had already left.

In the evening, he sent a message:【Working overtime tonight, don't wait for me.】

He wasn't really working overtime, he was just being held back by Wen Yi and couldn't come back.

He was willing to continue pretending to be blind, but my patience had run out, and I didn't want to pretend with him anymore.

I messaged Xiao Rui:【My husband is on a business trip, I made too much food, come over and eat some at my place.】

Xiao Rui was a college student I met at a bar.

His eyes were incredibly similar to Gu Ming's, but they were sharper and more youthful.

When Gu Ming came back, I was drinking with Xiao Rui.

I intentionally kept Xiao Rui late, just to let him see.

When he saw Xiao Rui, he couldn't pretend anymore.

He drove Xiao Rui out like a mad dog.

In the living room, there were only the two of us left. He smashed all the vases, blood dripping on the floor from his clenched fists, his voice suppressed.

"Yu Shi Shi, you will always be my wife."

I turned to leave, completely infuriating him.

He grabbed my neck, his eyes fierce:

"You can't go anywhere. You can only stay by my side, do you hear me?"

I couldn't breathe from being choked, struggling desperately.

Before I lost consciousness, Gu Ming finally let go, leaving a bruise on my neck.

This wasn't the first time Gu Ming had hurt me.

Five years ago, I married Gu Ming, got the certificate, but didn't have a wedding ceremony.

Outsiders said I carried the title of a young madam, doing the work of a nanny day and night, taking care of a blind man.

They were right, Gu Ming was indeed blind.

But I was not just a nanny, I was also Gu Ming's punching bag.

When we got married, he had just gone blind.

He couldn't accept using crutches, sitting in a wheelchair, or being a disabled person.

He vented all his anger on me.

During that time, I was constantly beaten by him with a crutch, bruised all over.

Every time he hit me, I would rub some oil on his crutch.

Even if he fell miserably, he would never ask me to help him up.

Watching him fall became my pleasure.

Until he cut his face and bled a lot.

At that time, I was dazed and dazed, buying all the scar removal cream on the market and carefully applying it for him every day.

It was a face that looked exactly like the person in my heart, and I couldn't allow any scars.
