The corridor was dimly lit. She hopped out of her room but paused outside e room nxt to hers. It was e room of Lin MIngdao. She wondered if he really was a hunk and where he went if he did live in da xiong.
Qiaoen didnt noe why she nudged open his door. She saw in e dim light tt mingdao was lying in his bed, his body turned towards e door. She edged closer, e rubber tips of her crutches squeaking. She realized tt she had no right to b in his room, but she stopped beside his bed and leaned over, hoping to catch sight of his face. Unexpectedly, mingdao flipped to his back.
[mingdao]:Who are u? What do u want?
Qiaoen was so startled, she droped one of her crutches and attempted to cover her face with her open hand.She nd'nt bother. In e soft light she saw tt large gauze pads covered mingdao's eyes. The pads were taped snugly to his temples and cheeks.
Mingdao couldnt see her. HE was blind.

Although mingdao's eyes were bandaged, Qiaoen saw tt black hair spilled over e tops of e gauze strips arnd his forehead to help hold e gauze pads in place. His cheeks were broad and high, his jaws square, his complexion smooth. He was as good looking as xiaojie hoped he wld b.

For e first time, qiaoen saw mingdao smiled.
