Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Thank You for Believing in _1
A mont later, accompanied by a dizzying shake of the surroundings, Qin Sisi and the others left the grand garden in the painting and returned to the real world, to Xiao Fei’s room.
Ning Hao and Sister Zeng were on edge, guarding the painting. Seeing Qin Sisi and the others erge, they imdiately moved forward to support Xiao Fei.
Ning Hao helped Sister Zeng to lay Xiao Fei down on bed, then he turned to Qin Sisi with a complex look.
Sister Zeng gently touched Xiao Fei’s cheek, then turned to ask Qin Sisi, "Ms. Sisi, how is my son?"
Qin Sisi replied gently, "Rest assured, he is..." She caught a fleeting glance from Sister Zeng, who then turned her gaze back to her son.
Although Sister Zeng’s glance at Qin Sisi was quick, Sisi with her heightened senses after experiencing so many ghosts, could clearly see the doubt in Sister Zeng’s eyes.
While there was so gratitude, it was mostly suspicion and a sense of strangeness, as if she was looking at a monster, afraid and not daring to offend.
Qin Sisi looked questioningly at Ning Hao. Ning Hao first spoke to Sister Zeng, "Sister Zeng, why don’t you stay with Xiao Fei. I can take Sisi to have a cup of water. She must be tired."
Sister Zeng nodded, without saying a word.
Ning Hao gestured to Qin Sisi and they left Xiao Fei’s room one after the other and moved to the living room.
Once they were at a respectable distance from Xiao Fei’s room, Ning Hao uttered quietly to Qin Sisi, "Sisi, we know what you did."
Qin Sisi was taken aback, "What? What did you see?"
Ye You, who was huddled against Qin Sisi, also raised his head to look at Ning Hao.
Ning Hao found his words and said, "We were outside the painting the whole ti. We saw everything happening inside."
Qin Sisi’s eyes widened in shock. Eventhough Ning Hao knew she was unusual, she didn’t want him knowing about certain hidden matters.
Qin Sisi remained silent for a mont, anxiously questioning, "Did you see everything?"
Ning Hao nodded, "Yes, we saw you conjure a fireball and incinerate those n inside the painting. You also trapped a woman inside a small bottle, and then there is your black cat..."
Ning Hao paused, looking anxiously at Ye You. He’d suspected that Ye You was strange, but never imagined that the cat was this powerful.
Qin Sisi’s hand clenched and relaxed. After a long thought, she questioned anxiously, "Could you hear the conversation too?"
Ning Hao shook his head, "No, we could only see a picture, we could not hear any conversation."
Qin Sisi breathed a sigh of relief. At least her and Ye You’s secret was not fully out yet.
Qin Sisi swiftly glanced at the door to Xiao Fei’s room, asking Ning Hao in a low voice, "Sister Zeng saw everything too, right?"
Ning Hao nodded, "Yes."
Suddenly, Ye You let out a couple of ows. Qin Sisi nodded in acknowledgent and turned to walk towards Xiao Fei’s room.
Ning Hao hurriedly stopped her, pleading, "Sisi, please don’t hurt Sister Zeng. She’s my teammate, and a good person."
Qin Sisi looked at Ning Hao and said firmly, "Ning Hao, you’re mistaken. I won’t harm her, but for my safety, I cannot let her retain the mory of these events."
Ning Hao fell silent, retracting his arm.
Qin Sisi walked into Xiao Fei’s room. Hearing a sound, Sister Zeng turned to see Qin Sisi, her face betraying slight panic.
Ye You raised its claw, a blue light radiated out, blanketing the form of Sister Zeng and Xiao Fei.
Sister Zeng’s eyes rolled back and she fainted, slumped over onto the bed, holding onto her son’s hand.
A mont later, Ye You retracted the blue light and said, "It’s done. They’ve forgotten everything that happened within the past day."
Qin Sisi nodded, her peripheral vision catching the painting which once depicted a classical beauty.
The painting no longer showed a beautiful woman, just a red pavilion amidst lush grasslands and vibrant, fragrant flowers. The once figure painting had been transford into a landscape painting.
After a slight ponder, Qin Sisi pointed towards that painting, said, "Fire magic, ignite!"
Imdiately, flas ignited on the painting. Paper being afraid of fire, the forrly srizing painting was reduced to a few light ashes in no ti.
Qin Sisi pulled her gaze back, ready to leave, when she saw Ning Hao standing by the door.
The scenario of Qin Sisi using fire magic was once again clearly in Ning Hao’s sights.
His face was struck with shock and complexity, but he did not ask for more details, only pointing to the unconscious Sister Zeng and Xiao Fei and anxiously asking, "How are they?"
Qin Sisi understood his concern and replied calmly, "They have simply forgotten everything that happened in the past day, there are no other effects."
Ning Hao nodded, confirming, "Alright, I understand."
Qin Sisi hesitated for a mont and then asked Ning Hao, "Ning Hao, do you think you can handle such a big secret?"
Qin Sisi trusted Ning Hao, but she was afraid that his physical health could be negatively impacted by the pressure of these secrets that he couldn’t share with anyone.
If Ning Hao wished, she could have Ye You erase his mory too.
Ning Hao, with his ticulous thought process, instantly understood what Qin Sisi ant.
He smiled faintly and said, "Don’t worry, I have my own ways of managing this. I believe that every event that happens around
has a purpose. I don’t want to forget."
Qin Sisi sighed and said, "Since you say so, I won’t press further. I only want you to know that you are my friend, and I hope you will be alright."
Ning Hao showed slight emotion, his eyes revealing both happiness and regret, as he softly spoke, "I’m pleased to be your friend. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
Qin Sisi nodded, taking one last look at the unconscious Sister Zeng and Xiao Fei in the room, and said to Ning Hao, "Let’s go."
"Okay." Ning Hao agreed, and left Sister Zeng’s ho with Qin Sisi, making sure to close the door behind.
After daybreak the next day, the mother and son would wake up. They might be confused and baffled, but they wouldn’t be worried about the peculiar incidents they had witnessed, nor about Qin Sisi’s extraordinary behaviours. They would carry on with their peaceful and harmonious life.
Outside, it was still pitch dark. It seed like the whole world was asleep, with only two rows of street lamps casting dim light on the road.
Ning Hao drove Qin Sisi back to her residence.
Qin Sisi, holding Ye You, got out of the car and turned to Ning Hao, saying seriously, "Thank you for believing in ."
