Mocked for Being Blind, I Made the School Beauty Regret It Forever - Chapter 2

Chen An’s actions caught the attention of Luo Shiyu and Su Ling.

The two exchanged puzzled glances.

What was he trying to do? Could he actually be planning to play the piano?

Forget whether he even knew how—how could a blind man even locate the keys?

Sure enough, the moment Chen An’s fingers touched the keys, the first note he played was wrong.

Watching his hands fumble helplessly across the piano, coupled with the memory of having pushed him earlier, a wave of guilt surged through Luo Shiyu like a tidal wave.

She could already picture it—a helpless blind man, bullied in daily life, mustering the courage to practice on weekends when fewer people were around, driven by his love for music.

And yet, she had pushed him.

Women are creatures prone to overthinking. As these thoughts raced through her mind, Luo Shiyu felt like slapping herself twice on the spot.

What a horrible person she was.

While she was lost in her thoughts, Chen An had already familiarized himself with every key on the piano.

With his master-level piano skills, even though he had never touched a piano before, his exploration had given him an intimate understanding of the instrument’s layout.

“Here goes.” Taking a deep breath, he began playing Fairy Tale.

The music snapped Luo Shiyu and Su Ling out of their guilt.

Wait…

Hadn’t he just been struggling a moment ago?

Before they could process their confusion, Chen An had already finished the prelude.

The moment his king-tier singing voice emerged, it instantly captured the essence of the song.

The faint sorrow and melancholy, amplified by his vocal prowess, left the two women frozen in place.

*”How long has it been

Since I last heard you

Tell me your favorite story?

I’ve thought for so long

Now I’m starting to panic

Did I do something wrong again~”*

The melodious voice, rich with emotion, carried a wounded tone that clutched at their hearts, stealing their breath away.

They stood motionless, staring into Chen An’s unfocused eyes.

*”I’m willing to be the angel

In your fairy tale

Spreading my arms

To become wings that protect you

You must believe

Believe that we’ll be like in fairy tales

Where happiness and joy are the ending…”*

“This song…” Luo Shiyu’s eyes were already red from crying.

She didn’t know what this man had been through, but she was certain he had suffered deep emotional wounds.

She could even imagine a girl rejecting him for being blind, betraying him, and then coldly breaking up with him.

And this song—it must have been written when he had lost all hope.

“Wuwuwu… Luo Shiyu, we’re such terrible people,” Su Ling sobbed, tears streaming down her face.

Humans naturally sympathize with the vulnerable, especially when they themselves have wronged them. That sympathy can quickly turn into overwhelming guilt.

And that’s exactly what happened to them. A blind man, wounded in love and life, already pitiable enough—yet they had become part of those who hurt him.

As the song ended and the piano fell silent, Chen An sighed and wiped a tear from the corner of his eye. He had gotten too immersed—he had even moved himself to tears.

But to Luo Shiyu, this sight carried a completely different meaning.

This song wasn’t just his lament about love—it felt more like a rebellion against life itself.

“I’m willing to become the prince in a fairy tale…” Yes, in fairy tales, everything is beautiful.

He must have thought the same way.

But in reality, there were too many cruel people who bullied him. A blind man, his world shrouded in darkness—he couldn’t even see who was hurting him. The helplessness and despair he felt were probably something only he could truly understand.

At this moment, Luo Shiyu could no longer hold herself together. Her legs gave way, and she crouched down in guilt, burying her head between her knees.

Chen An had no idea that a single song could send Luo Shiyu’s thoughts spiraling like this.

And just as his singing came to an end, the sweet chime of the system notification rang in his ears.

[Ding, check-in successful. Random check-in reward is being issued.]

Hearing this, Chen An felt anticipation rise within him again.

Every time the system randomized a reward, he secretly hoped it would be something that could restore his sight.

He had even asked the system directly about this before.

[Ding, reward issued: Song—”You Are My Eyes.”]

[Next check-in location: Preliminary round of “Star of Tomorrow” competition.]

[Check-in completed. Random reward distributed.]

As the details of the song flooded his mind, Chen An felt a flicker of disappointment but quickly steadied himself.

After all, he had been blind for so long—he was used to it by now.

Still, the system’s check-in location was interesting: the preliminary round of “Star of Tomorrow.” Judging by the name, it had to be some kind of competition.

But how would a stranger like him even get into a competition venue?

He sighed inwardly, unable to think of a solution for now.

Chen An braced one hand against the edge of the piano and stood up—only to immediately suck in a sharp breath.

Damn, his leg had gone numb!

He must have pressed on a nerve earlier, because now his entire right leg was tingling.

With no other choice, he fumbled for his white cane and limped away.

But to Luo Shiyu, his pained expression and unsteady gait only confirmed her worst fear—she had hurt him when she pushed him earlier, and now he was struggling to walk.

Luo Shiyu, look at what you’ve done.

Overwhelming guilt twisted inside her, making her feel sick.

“Luo Shiyu, we went too far,” Su Ling murmured, equally remorseful as she stood frozen, staring blankly at the door.

“No, I have to apologize to him in person,” Luo Shiyu declared before turning and running after Chen An.

Su Ling tried to stop her, but it was too late—Luo Shiyu had already vanished.

Meanwhile, Luo Shiyu chased after Chen An and soon spotted his figure.

A blind man, injured, would naturally walk much slower than an able-bodied person.

Watching him limp forward, Luo Shiyu almost rushed over to say, “Stop, let me help you!”

But what if she startled him? What if he thought she was some kind of creep?

After some hesitation, she decided to follow him discreetly. When he eventually had to stop, she could “coincidentally” run into him—that would seem much more natural.

With her mind made up, she trailed behind Chen An at a careful distance.

Chen An, of course, had no idea someone was following him.

He checked the time—it would be dark soon, so he needed to hurry.

Picking up his pace, he moved forward, but with his right leg still numb, it was inevitable that he’d bump into someone.

When encountering someone with a good temper, they would just shake their heads and walk away upon seeing a blind man who was even somewhat lame. But those with bad tempers would curse a couple of times.

However, Chen An didn’t get angry—after all, he was the one who had bumped into them.

But though he remained unbothered, Luo Shiyu behind him was furious.

These people really have no manners. He may not have eyes, but don’t you?
