Night had fallen.
Yan Lin dragged his weary body back to Lin Garden.
He was tired.
Especially after closing these cases, he wanted to get some rest.
However, when he returned to the house, he found that the lucky bamboo, whose water he changed regularly, had been moved, and there was a barely noticeable dent underneath it that was not visible unless you looked closely.
He was deeply moved.
He went back and forth inside the house to check it over.
The storage room door had been opened, as had the kitchen cabinet doors...
He was utterly shocked.
An indescribable, secret expectation spread through his heart, making it pound wildly, almost bursting out of his chest.
"...Zhi Zhi."
His steps were heavy, his voice disordered, and he moved frantically, searching and examining each room, trying to piece together every clue.
The newly planted pear trees in the courtyard swayed in the wind, and a faint fragrance filled the air.
Yan Lin couldn't help but walk into the courtyard, sit down at the stone table, and gaze at the plants and trees before him. His voice was bitter as he said, "Zhizhi, I've planted some new pear and peach trees. If only you could taste one yourself..."
As he spoke, he felt like he was dreaming.
Everyone is gone.
Why would she come back?
I spent a sleepless night.
Yan Lin woke up holding the urn containing the ashes, his gaze softening as he said, "Zhizhi, I'll make you dumplings today, with mushroom and pork filling. You always used to eat chives and scallions, so I'll try something different today. You can try them then."
He tenderly put the box down.
At noon, the sun outside was shining brightly, casting a blinding white light across the courtyard.
A rich aroma wafted from the kitchen inside the house.
Yan Lin had just brought out a large bowl when he saw two little kids looking at him pitifully.
He thought for a long time before suddenly recalling that he seemed to have seen a little girl at the Ling family gathering, whose name was something like Ye Yuan'er.
"Handsome Uncle, I'm hungry~~~"
Ye Yuan'er suddenly stood up, swallowing hard as she stared at the dumplings in Yan Lin's bowl. Her eyes were wide with desire, as if she would cry if he didn't give her a single one.
The little boy next to her tugged at her cautiously and said, trying to be tactful, "Uncle, my mom and I got lost when we went out. We haven't eaten anything all morning, and my sister is a little hungry..."
Yan Lin chuckled.
He placed the large bowl on the table, went to the kitchen to get two more bowls and two pairs of chopsticks, divided the dumplings into two portions, and said generously, "Eat up, eat up, don't go hungry."
Since they are guests of the Ling family, they might be extremely anxious if they see their child is lost.
He should call Ling Junye.
Just as he was about to leave, a slender woman with long black hair that trailed on the ground, wearing a white robe, suddenly appeared in front of him. Her eyes were fixed on him, as if she were looking at... a monster?
Yan Lin had never been looked at like that before, and he was quite puzzled.
Just as he opened his mouth to ask who she was, the woman in white robes suddenly reached out and grabbed the Thunder Cloud Bead around his neck.
What are you doing?
After the Fang Manzi incident, he became extremely vigilant whenever anyone had designs on Lei Yunzhu.
He reached out and grabbed her wrist.
So fine, so fine.
So light, so light.
An indescribable scent emanated from her, causing a moment of disorientation, as if the person standing before him was not someone else, but...
He had just panicked when he immediately came to his senses. Just as he was about to lash out, two little kids ran out from behind him, calling out "Mommy" and "Qiqi" repeatedly.
Yan Lin was stunned.
He never imagined that the strange woman was actually their relative.
Just as I was completely bewildered, a large group of people ran up behind me.
"Seven Seven—"
"Seventh Sister—"
"Xiao Qi—"
Night Lightning and Night Battle, Night Lan and Liu Zhaodi ran breathlessly, their faces showing fear, bewilderment, and the joy of having something lost and found.
"What are you doing here? We've been looking for you everywhere," Ye Ting said reproachfully.
It has to be said, Dr. Dai is indeed Dr. Dai.
After several departments worked together to treat her, they spent a lot of money to bring in a foreigner from Beijing. After several deep hypnosis sessions, she gradually became less afraid of light and stopped losing control and hurting people.
Although she still can't speak.
The drug trial has ended, proving the drug's safety.
Dai Chunying has been giving Xiaoqi this medicine for the past few days, along with a series of other treatments, and the results are fantastic.
Xiao Qi is not afraid of light, does not hit people, and will even whimper. She can even walk on the ground and look at Ye Lili and Ye Yuan'er with gentle eyes.
Ye Ting also said that if things go well, they plan to take Ye Qiqi back to Beijing so that the child can stay by her side and gradually build a relationship...
But before they knew it, Xiao Qi had run away.
I made a trip yesterday.
Today, I even brought both children along.
Her family was terrified all night and planned to stay by her side 24 hours a day, guarding her every step of the way, so as not to lose her.
“Grandpa, don’t blame Mom. Yuan’er and I brought her out together. She’s so pitiful. She’s been locked up in the house the whole time. She finally woke up and wanted to come out and play, so let her play.”
"Yes, yes, Grandpa and Grandma, you know Qiqi best. Moving around more will be good for her recovery."
The two children offered their explanations.
They were afraid that Ye Qiqi would be blamed.
“Silly girl, we’re not saying it’s wrong for her to go out, but if she wanted to go out, any of us could have gone with her. How can we feel at ease otherwise? Her treatment at the hospital isn’t over yet; she still has at least another month to go. If she relapses, it will be difficult to treat,” Ye Ting said.
