Rolling around in her bed Ying Yue fought to fall back asleep. The house was silent and there was nothing to do this morning so she had intended to sleep in as much as she could but her body refused to listen. Opening one eye she glanced at the clock and saw that it read "8:04 a.m." For someone who had only fallen asleep a couple of hours ago she was irritated to see how early it was. Closing her eyes again she let them rest for a couple more minutes before lifting herself up off the bed. Taking a deep breath she started slowing her breathing and taking control of her other senses. It was easy to be disoriented in the morning but who knew if she would have the ability to see when she woke up?

From about 7 years back to even now she would spend a couple moments trying to develop the skills and hone her other senses in the case her sight was taken. It would seem weird to others if they were to watch her in this state but for her it was a way to live. Her peaceful life right now was only a small period before the threat of having her sight taken was very real.

With each breath her mind became more and more focused and the dull silence around her became more defeaning. Concentrating further, past her own surroundings there was the slight noise from her neighbours clanging around their house. Getting up she kept her eyes closed and her hands by her side as she walked towards the door. Counting the approximate steps she made she stopped a couple inches from the door, reaching her hand forward she lightly grazed the knob. Feeling that it had touched the back of her hand she moved her hand to the left and held it within her grip. Twisting it to the side, she pulled open the door while simutaenously taking a step back to allow for it to open completely. Letting go of the handle she took a couple of steps forward before taking a left towards her bathroom. Repeating the same steps she managed to wash her face and freshen up for the morning. It took her a couple minutes longer since she dropped a couple of things but it was manageable. Each time she made a mistake she would make a mental note to improve upon it later. At this point, fifteen minutes had passed from when she got up from her bed. 

Leaving the bathroom, she headed towards the kitchen and lightly hit her leg against the counter. Patting the table she tried to imagine the space in her head and reach towards the right cabinets. Pulling out a glass she placed it onto the counter and picked up her kettle. Jostling it a little bit she could hear and feel that there was barely any water in there. Turning on the sink she fumbled to fill her kettle and had to place her finger on the nozzle to get it in. Placing the kettle back in its spot she turned it on and waited for the water to boil. She could have easily opened her eyes by now but part of her wanted to see how far she could go this morning. It took less than two minutes before the familiar whistle sounded to alert her the water was done. Reaching out she grabbed the glass she had left and then grabbed the kettle in her other hand. She put the nozzle directly into the tilted glass and poured the boiling water into the glass. Her fingers heated up quickly and it was only when she felt a sharp burn on the side of her palm before she stopped pouring. She took a couple of deep breaths before placing everything down softly and finally opened her eyes. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/fatal-attraction-the-ceo-his-mischievous-wife_13715752406998805/a-sightless-morning_50819839584947908 for visiting.

'Ah shit....its definitely going to scab." Looking down at her hand to see the damage there was an ugly red blotch on her hand. Her eyes took a couple seconds to adjust to the light before she could turn the tap on. Running her hand under warm water she kept it there till the pain dulled. Pulling it out she went towards a small drawer and pulled out burn cream and some gauze. Such a small injury was easy for her to take care of but it did sting. After it was nicely wrapped she had a momentary pause trying to figure out her next steps. 

'Hmm...am I forgetting something....? I feel like there was something I wanted to do today....' Her eyes widened when she remembered what that 'something' was. Speed walking to her secret room she quickly did the motions to enter it and access her internet. Typing in weibo into her search browser there was a small excitment in her as she waited to see what happened.

Xi Long had never explicitly told her it would be on Weibo but any scandal that came out eventually made its way onto this site. She had read articles on how ruthless he was but never had time to watch him in real-time. Of course physical fighting aside, this was the first "online war" of his she knew was coming. Su Moxi was annoying and delusional but 90% was because of her family. Personally, she had no right to judge Xi Long for destroying a family over this because she agreed with his logic. It was better to destroy those who disobeyed them before letting them become dangerous enemies. Even the smallest bug could cause a ripple when they teamed with other animals. 

There was a lag on her browser as Weibo finally loaded, heading towards the hot search she saw the top news. All of the spots had to do with the Su Family and some famous gossip account. When she started looking into the top posts and the articles that were being released a small map was being drawn in her head. In general, it all just seemed random and centered around one gossip account. However, anyone who looked at it closer could tell that there was someone pulling the strings. The timing was just to perfect to be coincidental and was designed to tear the Su family down. A second hand was extremely visible, particularly to the upper class. It was a direct warning to them on what would happen if they continued to oppose Xi Long. It was a c.o.c.ky and bold statement but he had the family history to do it. Just from the small research she did on his family she knew he had many ties in the military and underground. A founding family in the city with established routes was not one to be messed with. But she herself knew that it wouldn't be impossible to overthrow a family that powerful, especially when there were snakes involved. Dark memories flooded through her brain as she thought through the warning being given. 

"Well warning or not, can only leave it to time to see if they will listen."
