Seeing that the girl remembered her, Zhou Qiqi smiled gently and said softly.
"Yes, Chunyan, do you still remember me?"
Her voice was so gentle, like she was coaxing a child, and the girl nodded involuntarily and said.
"I remember, the dress you made was very pretty."
Zhou Qiqi recognized the little girl at first glance.
She was the same little girl who, along with her mother, falsely accused Zhou Qiqi of hiding needles in her clothes at the police station.
Her name is Wang Chunyan, she studies dance, and she is only sixteen years old this year.
Zhou Qiqi remembered her name because after the truth came out, the little girl came to her crying and wanted to kneel down and apologize.
The little girl is not inherently bad; she still has a basic sense of right and wrong.
However, she had been subjected to long-term mental abuse by her mother, who frequently insulted her with harsh words, making her extremely timid and insecure. She had become somewhat mentally unstable, which led to this tragedy.
"You worthless slut, nobody wants you! Why don't you just die!"
Zhou Qiqi still remembers how that aunt cursed Wang Chunyan in front of so many people at the police station.
The little girl huddled in a corner, trembling, seemingly used to the insults.
At the time, Zhou Qiqi felt that the little girl might do something drastic later, so she specifically told Captain Li to keep an eye on her afterwards. Unexpectedly, the tragedy still happened.
Judging from the situation, the little girl was probably scolded by her mother a lot today and had suicidal thoughts.
Life is so precious. Even if they had a falling out in the past, Zhou Qiqi could not possibly stand by and watch someone die.
She took a few deep breaths, steadied her tone, and said softly with a slight smile.
"Do you like it? What do you think of my outfit today? It's brand new."
As she spoke, she spun around in a circle again.
Today she wore a modified blazer paired with a blue-black linen skirt, which shimmered with a flowing metallic sheen in the sunlight.
Wang Chunyan was involuntarily drawn in and nodded.
"Beautiful, like a flying swallow."
Zhou Qiqi tapped the hem of her skirt with her fingertips, her eyes slightly curved at the corners.
"Ah! Swallow! What a wonderful metaphor! Your name is Spring Swallow, isn't this dress made just for you? Let me give you one!"
She paused, then immediately asked again.
"Chunyan, would you like to dance in this dress?"
She spoke one sentence after another, and Wang Chunyan had no time to react. She was only drawn in by her smile and nodded instinctively.
"Yes! My grandma used to say that when I dance, I'm like a little swallow in flight."
Zhou Qiqi's eyes brightened slightly as she spoke softly.
"If you want to, you can get down from there. If you jump down, you'll never be able to dance for Grandma again!"
"But..."
Chunyan burst into tears, her tears filled with despair, "Grandma has passed away."
Zhou Qiqi's heart tightened, and her vision went black, but she still maintained a smile on her face, her fingertips pointing hurriedly to the sky.
"Have you ever heard that deceased relatives turn into stars and watch over their loved ones in the sky? Although Grandma is gone, as long as you live well, she will always be watching over you..."
"Really?"
Wang Chunyan looked at the gloomy sky, her voice trembling slightly.
Zhou Qiqi nodded without hesitation, her tone firm and unwavering.
"Of course it's true! Otherwise, why would so many people come to save you? It must be that Grandma doesn't want you to do anything foolish and wants to protect her precious granddaughter! Can you bear to make Grandma sad?"
Hearing this, Wang Chunyan was deeply shaken, and her grip on the railing tightened considerably.
At this moment, Zhou Qiqi reached out her hand, palm up, with a gentle smile.
"Come on, be good, turn over, I'll help you down."
Throughout the conversation, she had been subtly moving closer.
At this moment, he was only an arm's length away from Wang Chunyan.
Looking at her smile and listening to her gentle tone, Chunyan unconsciously and obediently stepped out with her right leg, about to turn over.
However, it had just rained that morning, so the railings were a bit slippery, and the little girl had just undergone gastric lavage, so she didn't have much strength.
Suddenly, my foot slipped, and I was about to fall backward uncontrollably!
Without thinking, Zhou Qiqi reached out to pull him down, but her strength was limited, and she was about to be dragged down as well.
At the critical moment, several soldiers rushed up, grabbed Chunyan firmly, and also pulled Zhou Qiqi to her feet.
"Th-thank you..."
Zhou Qiqi was terrified, her heart pounding violently.
But the first thing they did was rush to check on the little girl.
The little girl twisted her ankle and had some scrapes, but she was otherwise fine. She was crying uncontrollably.
Zhou Qiqi reached out and touched the little girl's hair, then whispered something in her ear.
"Your life has just begun, don't give up."
Just as I finished speaking, a sharp scream came from the stairwell.
"You wretched girl! I've raised you for nothing, and now you're trying to die!"
Zhou Qiqi looked over at the sound and saw several soldiers standing at the entrance of the building, as well as a few people who she didn't know were doctors or nurses.
Then, uniformed police officers and the woman from that day squeezed in, including Officer Tan.
Zhou Qiqi had witnessed how "powerful" this aunt was and didn't want to get involved with her or attract attention.
She tugged at Officer Tan, briefly explained the situation to him, and then left.
After she left, a middle-aged man surrounded by several soldiers walked over, saluted Officer Tan, and pointed to Zhou Qiqi's departing figure.
"Excuse me, sir/madam, is that lady the doctor here? What's her name?"
——-
Having just saved someone, Zhou Qiqi still felt a little unsteady on her feet, but she was also somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, she watched a lot of TV dramas in her previous life, including TVB and idol dramas, so she had a wide range of knowledge, which came in handy.
Hopefully, those words can really comfort the little girl.
Even if it can offer some temporary comfort, having a mother like that will definitely make her life difficult in the future.
But this is something the little girl has to overcome on her own.
However, she will definitely still send the dress I promised her, just consider it a gift on behalf of her grandmother.
As Zhou Qiqi went downstairs, she suddenly felt a pain in her wrist. When she looked down, she saw that it was scraped.
When I pulled Wang Chunyan just now, my wrist rubbed against the railing. I didn't feel any pain at the time, but now that I'm relaxed, it hurts terribly.
She hurried downstairs to the outpatient clinic to get her medication, and then returned to her ward.
Having been gone for so long, Shen Huaichuan must be worried.
Sure enough, when she got back, Qin Lei was extremely anxious.
"Sister-in-law, where are you going? Something terrible has happened!"
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked.
