Chapter 282: mories
I had lived two lifetis but in both lifetis I suppressed that part of my mory. There had to be a reason why.
I smiled and said, “It’s alright. As I said, this is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, this way I am not burdened by bad mories. Before this, soone kidnapped to find the inheritance my parents left behind. I was brought to an island and I did pick up so special mories there. They were happy mories. But I still have no recollection of the kidnapping, of my parent’s car accident, even though I was present both tis. My brain probably eliminated them selectively for protection.”
Qu Hao looked surprised. “Nanxing, you are a very special girl.”
I shrugged. “For , living a good life is more important than being troubled by the past. I believe in the last mont of my parents’ lives, they would have hoped that I would live a good life. So I would do that for them.”
Qu Hao nodded. He crossed his fingers and was deep in thought.
“Okay, Mr. Qu, I have no questions already, you can leave now,” I said.
Qu Hao chuckled in awe. “Nanxing, your directness amuses ! And it has hurt my self-esteem!”
I stood up and shrugged. “I don’t believe your self-esteem is so easily injured. Anyway, I need to go check up on Mai Qi. If you want to stay, then be my guest but I can’t sit to chat with you anymore. Please excuse .”
Qu Hao stood up. “Alright, I will leave then. I’ll leave Mai Qi with you. If you need anything, feel free to call . I will do my best to help.”
“Don’t worry, if it involves Mai Qi, I’ll drag you into it!” I uttered bluntly.
Mai Qi was already asleep when I pushed open her bedroom door. I was relieved hearing her steady breathing. Since she could sleep so peacefully, then things must still be fine.
I tiptoed to the door. As I opened the door, a soft nasally voice said behind , “Nanxing.” I turned around. I couldn’t see her face in the dark but I still smiled and said, “You’re still awake? I ca to check on you. I thought you were asleep so I wanted to leave you be.”
“Co and keep company.” Mai Qi’s voice was firm. Thankfully I had already showered and brushed my teeth.
I crawled under the quilt. I sighed. “I’ve sent your brother away. I’m sorry. Even though he is extrely handso, I don’t feel anything around him. So I can’t be your sister-in-law. So the ball is in your court. You need to be work hard to be my little aunt and we’ll be a family for the rest of our lives! What do you think, future little aunt?” Mai Qi did not pounce on like she usually did when I made such jokes.
“Nanxing,” She called out to in a low voice.
I stopped smiling and reached out to hold her hand in the darkness. “Mai Qi, what’s wrong?” She held my hand without saying a word. Her hands were so cold.
After a few seconds, I realized Mai Qi was crying. She was trembling so hard because she was trying not to make any sound. The pressure on her was trendous.
“Mai Qi, what’s wrong? Tell .” I sat up and grabbed a few pillows to cushion the headboard. Then I helped Mai Qi sit up in bed.
We leaned against the headboard. This way, at least Mai Qi would not choke on her tears.
I did not press. My fingers crossed with hers. I hoped that I could channel my energy to her this way as I waited for her to calm down.
