Chapter 459: Chapter 459 - Han Xiaowen’s Sorrowful Past_1

Qin Sisi spoke in a gentle tone, "It’s quite impressive that you managed to buy a car on your own not long after graduation. Keep up the good work, aim for a new one in a few years."

Lin Xiaoyu gave Qin Sisi a grateful look, feeling fortunate to have a friend like her.

After a mont of silence, Lin Xiaoyu glanced at Qin Sisi’s backpack and joked, "If I’m not mistaken, is there a cat in your backpack?"

Qin Sisi laughed, opening her backpack and lifting out Ye You. She stroked his smooth spine gently, her expression gentle and serene.

Then she turned to Lin Xiaoyu and said, "He is a spirit pet, with unique purposes, so I have to take him with ."

Lin Xiaoyu, startled at Qin Sisi’s serious expression, quickly restrained his joking manner and stopped teasing Ye You.

About an hour later, he drove Qin Sisi to the house he rented with his girlfriend.

It was a small one-bedroom apartnt, slightly cramped, with simple but neat furnishings.

The beige printed curtains were warm and elegant. The dining table was laid with waterproof, colorful cloth, reflecting that the hostess must be soone who loved life.

"Where’s your girlfriend?" With the apartnt empty, Qin Sisi asked out of curiosity.

Lin Xiaoyu explained, "She hasn’t finished work yet, but she’ll be back soon. You rest first, I’m going to pick her up."

As he spoke, Lin Xiaoyu appeared calm, giving the impression he had done this routine many tis before.

Qin Sisi smiled and nodded, "Alright."

After explaining to Qin Sisi, Lin Xiaoyu left.

Once Lin Xiaoyu had left, Qin Sisi, holding Ye You, walked a few rounds around the room.

The living room was visible as soon as you entered, containing nothing but a sofa and dining table.

The bedroom faced the sun, and the soft evening light stread in, forming gentle patches of light on the floor.

She could sll a hint of garlic in the air.

It seed that Lin Xiaoyu and his girlfriend had indeed followed Ye You’s advice and placed garlic in the bedroom to keep ghosts at bay.

After checking the kitchen and bathroom, Qin Sisi expressed sowhat disappointedly, "I can’t sense anything."

Ye You comforted her softly, "Don’t worry, as night falls, all shall be unveiled."

Qin Sisi tilted her head thoughtfully and asked, "Did you sense anything?"

Ye You paused before saying, "Everything else seems normal, but there’s a faint hint of strange energy in the bathroom."

Upon hearing this, Qin Sisi imdiately walked into the bathroom.

The bathroom was dark, never catching the sunlight, and was colder than the rest of the rooms.

After staying inside for a while, Qin Sisi shook her head with a sigh. Unlike Ye You, she couldn’t sense even a trace of the strange energy.

Ye You said softly, "Success is not achieved in a single day. Take your ti, I believe you will get stronger."

Encouraged by Ye You’s words, Qin Sisi’s mood brightened considerably. She deliberately raised her chin and said, "Of course, who knows, maybe one day I’ll surpass you!"

This was rely a humorous remark. Even Qin Sisi herself thought she was boasting.

Ye You laughed silently, his deep voice filled with a mild sense of charm, "I look forward to your surpassing ."

Their eyes t, both filled with warm smiles.

Shortly after, Lin Xiaoyu returned with his girlfriend. He had already introduced Qin Sisi to her on the way, so as soon as they entered, Lin Xiaoyu led his girlfriend to the sofa where Qin Sisi was sitting.

Out of politeness, Qin Sisi quickly stood up, her face wreathed in smiles.

"Xiaowen, this is Qin Sisi who I was telling you about," Lin Xiaoyu said to the young woman by his side.

Then he turned to Qin Sisi, gestured towards his girlfriend with his palm, and said, "Sisi, this is my girlfriend, Han Xiaowen."

"Hello."

"Hello."

The two completely unfamiliar won greeted each other with a smile, then subtly assessed each other.

For Han Xiaowen, even though Lin Xiaoyu had repeatedly assured that Qin Sisi was a mage, invited to help them, she was still sowhat uncomfortable with her boyfriend’s trust in another woman;

Whereas Qin Sisi was simply trying to get a rough idea of what kind of person Lin Xiaoyu’s girlfriend was and whether any signs of ghost trouble showed in her deanor.

Han Xiaowen wasn’t too tall and was quite thin, exuding a delicate vibe.

She wasn’t breathtakingly beautiful, but there was an exquisite charm about her. She had a simple ponytail and minimal makeup. However, beneath her makeup, Qin Sisi noticed signs of fatigue and weariness.

Her complexion was slightly pale and her eyes slightly lackluster. She spoke weakly, clearly showing a deficiency in Yang energy.

Qin Sisi glanced at Ye You, both of them exchanging looks that seed to say "just as we thought."

The two won sat down on the sofa at Lin Xiaoyu’s invitation. Lin Xiaoyu pulled up a chair and sat next to Han Xiaowen, turning to Qin Sisi, he said, "Sisi, have a look and see if you can help Xiaowen."

Qin Sisi nodded and asked, "How have you been sleeping lately?"

Han Xiaowen didn’t respond, so Lin Xiaoyu answered for her, "Much better, although her sleep is still sowhat unsettled, at least she no longer wakes up in the middle of the night."

Qin Sisi noticed the green jade bracelet on Han Xiaowen’s wrist, likely purchased as a protective charm based on her advice.

After observing Han Xiaowen for a while, Qin Sisi asked, "Xiaowen, can you describe the dreams you’ve been having at night?"

The smile on Han Xiaowen’s face froze in an instant, she glanced fearfully at Lin Xiaoryu, as though seeking his help. Lin Xiaoyu patted her hand as a gesture of comfort.

Mystified by their odd behavior over such an ordinary question, Qin Sisi turned to Lin Xiaoyu.

Lin Xiaoyu hesitantly asked, "Sisi, there is a past that Xiaowen doesn’t want to touch upon, does it need to be ntioned?"

Qin Sisi looked at Lin Xiaoyu, then at Han Xiaowen, addressing her gently, "If you want to address the root cause of your problems, you should let

know what you’ve been through. That way, I can help you more effectively.

Rest assured, anything you say today won’t leave this room."

Han Xiaowen stayed silent for a mont, biting her lip. Eventually, she exhaled deeply as if making a significant decision and nodded to Qin Sisi, "Alright, I’ll tell."

With one hand tightly clenched on her lap and the other holding Lin Xiaoyu’s hand, Han Xiaowen sought so sense of security in her boyfriend’s presence.
