*Shan Cai*
Lei stayed with me the whole night. Doctors and nurses came in and out every hour. Lei talked to me about his time in Japan and about how much he missed me. I couldn't help but blush whenever her mentioned it. He always finds ways to make me blush. "You're so cute when you blush."
"Stop making me blush!" I would shout at him.
"Bu yao zhi qu ma. You're too cute." he paused. "Tell me about your time without me in Taiwan."
"It was really boring. I didn't really like tutoring, and I didn't really pay attention to her..."
"Not even your Japanese? You need your Japanese if you're going to stay here with me."
*Lei*
She was so cute when she blushed. I couldn't help but make her blush even more. God I missed her. I couldn't wait for her to get the bandages off. I wanted to take her all over the world. Show her the beautiful sights and travel in our own blissful world.
*Two Days Later*
"Ok, xiao jie, we're taking the bandage off today. So when you open your eyes, it might hurt. So go slowly." The doctor came in and explained to Shan Cai that today was the day that she'll be able to open her eyes. I sat next to her and held her hand as the bandages were removed from her eyes. When the las bandage was removed, Shan Cai opened her eyes very slowly.
*Shan Cai*
I opened my eyes, but the bright light stung my eyes. "It's alright, take it slow." I heard the doctor say. I tried again at opening my eyes. This time, they didn't close again. I opened my eyes all the way, and right in front of me, stood the face that I've always dreamt of. The pair of eyes I've drowned in, and the baby-soft hair I've touched before. "Lei?"
"Hey." he said with a smile on his face. I lifted my hand to reach out to touch his face. When my hand came in contact with his face, I withdrew my hand, for I couldn't believe he was really here, right in front of me.
"Lei?" I called out, just to make sure he was really there. Lei took my hands and brought them up to his lips. He gently kissed my hands and smiled at me. "I can see..." I truly couldn't believe that I could once again see.
"Yes, you can..." he told me reassuringly.
*Lei*
Finally, Shan Cai can see once again! I couldn't help but hold her hands in mine. "Shan Cai, let's go on a vacation."
