Chapter 758 The victim's guilt is a fallacy
This hypnosis made Nie Beilou and Xi Jiu feel heavy in their hearts.
Ruan Qi had been taken to her bedroom. With the calming incense, she slept for a long time, not waking until around nine in the evening.
Because she didn't take any drugs to suppress her mental power during this hypnosis session, Ruan Qi was in good physical condition after waking up. However, her emotions were the opposite.
Ruan Qi was in a bad mood.
The hypnosis session that morning had successfully restored her memory of Jiang Chunian forcing her to make a choice. Although the memory wasn't completely clear, she clearly remembered the despair and pain she felt when she faced the choice.
And this despair and pain has now become a knot in Ruan Qi's heart.
She was eager to know who she had chosen back then.
Is it the little boy number 11, or the kids in the “junk dump”?
If she chose one side, what happened to the other side? Did anyone lose their life because of her choice?
Just as Xi Jiu expected, Ruan Qi, who had believed in saving lives since childhood, could not accept that someone died because of her choice.
She sat on the bed, trying hard to recall the past. But the memories seemed to be covered by an intangible veil. Ruan Qi thought so hard that she had a headache, but she couldn't remember what choice she had made back then.
She covered her forehead uncomfortably, as overworking her brain made her feel dizzy.
At this moment, the door opened and familiar footsteps came in.
"The baby is awake?" Xi Jiu walked into the room and saw the little girl covering her forehead with a grim expression.
His expression changed slightly, and he immediately walked over quickly: "Are you feeling unwell? Headache?"
"Jiujiu..." Ruan Qi grabbed the man's hand and leaned her head on his shoulder. "I can't remember who I chose back then."
When Xi Jiu heard her words, he guessed what she was worried about.
He held her in his arms and patted her head soothingly: "No matter what choice you made back then, it wasn't your own will. @精華\/书阁·无错第一期~~Everything is Jiang Chunian's fault, it has nothing to do with you."
This is indeed the truth, but Ruan Qi still can't let it go.
"Jiujiu, do you think the fire in my dream was caused by the fact that I chose number 11? Were the children in the "garbage dump" burned to death because of my choice? Su Yao said there were at least 20 or 30 children in that "garbage dump"..."
If so many lives were burned to death because of her choice, what should she do?
Ruan Qi's face turned pale. The usually carefree girl was panicked for the first time.
Xi Jiu felt very distressed when he saw her like this.
He kissed the top of her head and whispered softly, "Baby, no matter who you chose back then, it wasn't your fault. You are a victim, not a perpetrator. It's a fallacy to say that the victim is guilty. The one who is truly guilty is Jiang Chunian. So you don't have to blame yourself for this. You are not wrong."
Not to mention that Ruan Qi was only nine years old at the time, even if she were a strong adult, she might not be able to do better in that situation.
Xi Jiu didn't think Ruan Qi was wrong at all.
He spoke soothing words into the little girl's ears over and over again, and Ruan Qi's originally restless emotions gradually stabilized.
"Jiujiu, where is my master?"
Xi Jiu: "Mr. Beilou is playing chess with Master Chu next door. He's been thinking about you and hasn't gone to bed yet."
Ruan Qi then looked up at the wall clock and found that it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
The little girl's eyes widened immediately. "How did I sleep for so long? Did grandpa and grandma call? They must be worried because I haven't come home so late."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in Xi Jiu's pocket rang.
