At the mention of “mental illness” Han Qiqing suddenly remembered something. She asked Yin Shaojie hurriedly, “Didn’t you say that Su Lin was there as well? What happened to her?”
Yin Shaojie’s expression froze for a second.
He looked at Xiaoxiao beside him and noticed that she was focused on eating, looking as if she wasn’t paying attention.
Song s.h.i.+jun read the mood and elbowed Han Qiqing, hinting to her not to mention it anymore.
Han Qiqing was confused. Frowning, she moved close to Song s.h.i.+jun’s ear and whispered, “Could it be that Su Lin is… dead?”
Even though she didn’t have a close friends.h.i.+p with Su Lin, they could still be considered friends, for their families had been acquainted for many years and they had interacted with each other on a daily basis.
Thus, upon hearing such grievous news, Han Qiqing couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
Song s.h.i.+jun seemed to guess the same thing as she did, and said in a low voice, “It might be. After all, Su Lin got into an accident in front of Xiaoxiao… Even though she doesn’t remember it anymore, it’s best for her to not know about it.”
Even though they were already whispering softly, Yin Shaojie still seemed to hear it as he looked over at them.
Han Qiqing and Song s.h.i.+jun were concerned that Xiaoxiao might have heard and thus stopped talking, resuming their dinner.
After dinner, Han Qiqing suggested that they go shopping. As usual, she went up to hug Mu Xiaoxiao’s arm.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment.
Qiqing smiled at her and said, “Xiaoxiao, let’s go shop! We’ll do it like how we did before. Maybe you’ll be able to remember things!”
Mu Xiaoxiao walked two steps forward, but kept looking back repeatedly.
Finally, she pushed Qiqing’s hand away and said, “Sorry, I don’t really feel like shopping.”
Under Qiqing’s astonished gaze, she then walked to the back and hugged Yin Shaojie’s arm.
“What’s wrong? You don’t want to shop?” Yin Shaojie looked at her and asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Yin Shaojie didn’t know what happened to her. She had been good friends with Qiqing before her memory loss. Could it be that she actually didn’t consider Qiqing a good friend?
He thought that it was impossible. Xiaoxiao wasn’t someone who liked to pretend. If she didn’t like Qiqing, she wouldn’t have become such good friends with her.
Could it be that… he had guessed wrong?
Even though he was feeling puzzled, Yin Shaojie still put Xiaoxiao’s feelings first. Since she didn’t want to shop anymore, they wouldn’t continue.
“s.h.i.+jun, you can accompany Qiqing. Xiaoxiao might be tired, so I’ll bring her home first.”
Yin Shaojie took Xiaoxiao away after he spoke.
Han Qiqing stood behind them. She looked a little sad as she looked towards Song s.h.i.+jun and said, “Does Xiaoxiao not want to play with me because she doesn’t remember me?”
Song s.h.i.+jun comforted her. “I think you’re thinking too much. Xiaoxiao must feel uneasy because of her memory loss. Or it could be that… she doesn’t feel afraid when she’s with Shaojie.”
“Is this really true?”
“Of course! Who do you think is more important in Xiaoxiao’s heart? You, or Shaojie?” Song s.h.i.+jun looked at her and asked.
Han Qiqing was speechless.
Need this question be asked?
…
Yin Shaojie brought Xiaoxiao along the road. Originally, he wanted to go and get his car, but Xiaoxiao suddenly said, “Let’s go shop over there. I don’t feel like going home yet.”
“Didn’t you not want to shop earlier?” Yin Shaojie looked at her, amused.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and kept silent.
Yin Shaojie asked tentatively, “You don’t want to shop with Qiqing and the rest?”
