Chapter 880 Jiujiu is hiding something from me
Simon stayed in the ward until after nine o'clock in the evening.
Ruan Qi lost too much blood and had nightmares, so he has been in a state of severe lack of rest for the past two days.
After sending Simon away, she soon couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep in the quilt.
When Xi Jiu walked out of the bathroom, he saw the little girl sleeping soundly with her pillow in her arms.
His cold dark eyes gradually warmed up, he walked lightly to the bedside, and turned off the lights in the room with the remote control.
The sudden change in light made Ruan Qi, who was sound asleep, feel a little uneasy. She frowned twice and her hands frantically scratched at the bed.
Xi Jiu quickly grabbed her hand and gently patted the back of her hand with his other hand.
"Don't be afraid, baby. I'm here."
The man's pats were light and gentle, and the soothing sound was like a cello in the middle of the night, making people feel extremely at ease.
The little girl's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and she fell back into Chenxiang's peaceful dream.
Xi Jiu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her intently with his black eyes, with deep affection spreading in his eyes.
Suddenly, buzz—
The phone on the bedside table vibrated.
Xi Jiu was afraid of waking up the little girl, so he quickly took the phone and turned it to silent mode, then unlocked the screen and opened WeChat.
In a group called 'Seven Baby Guards'—
[Ruan Munan: @Xi Jiu, how is Xiao Qi? ]
[Ruan Munan: @Xi Jiu, where are you? ]
Xi Jiu glanced at the sleeping Ruan Qi, turned on the camera and took a picture of her.
Xi Jiu: [Photo]
【Xi Jiu: Fell asleep.】
[Nie Beilou: Where's the sachet I made for her?]
[Xi Jiu: Under the pillow. Xiao Qi had another nightmare this afternoon while she was dozing off. In the dream, she slept with the corpses of many children.]
【Puppy: !!!】
[Puppy: What's going on?! Why am I having a nightmare again? Master, your sachet isn't working?! [Fear.jpg]]
[Nie Beilou: It's not the sachet's fault. I suspect it was the severe blow to Xiaoqi's head that caused her memory to resurface.]
[Nie Beilou: @Xi Jiu, Xi family boy, find an excuse to have Xiao Qi undergo another brain scan tomorrow, and then send me the images.]
Xi Jiu replied "OK" and turned off the phone.
He raised his head and looked at the sleeping girl, his heart sinking as if a huge stone had fallen from his chest.
What exactly happened ten years ago?
How much suffering did the treasure he held in his hands suffer in the past?
When Xi Jiu thought of the dream that Ruan Qi had mentioned before, the violence suppressed in his heart could not help but erupt again.
The strength with which he held the little girl's hand was just right, but the joints of his other big hand, which was holding the armrest of the chair, had turned blue and white from the force.
"Hmm..." Suddenly, the sleeping little girl uttered a mumbling sound.
When Xi Jiu, whose emotions were on the verge of exploding, heard this voice, all the hostility in his body instantly disappeared.
He concealed the biting coldness in his eyes and gently patted the little girl with his big hands.
Ruan Qi, who was sleeping, seemed to smell a familiar scent. She arched her back in the quilt and rubbed her little head against his hand.
"Jiujiu..." the little girl called out indistinctly.
Immediately, Xi Jiu's frozen heart softened into a pool of tender honey.
He slowly bent down, approached the little girl's rosy face as she slept, and placed a passionate kiss on the corner of her lips with his slightly cool thin lips.
"With me here, no one can hurt you anymore. Sleep peacefully, my princess."
…
Have a good night.
Ruan Qi has a good physique and a quick recovery ability. Coupled with a good night's sleep, when he woke up the next day, his energy and spirit were almost restored.
However, Xi Jiu still used worry as an excuse to have her undergo a full brain examination.
Ruan Qi originally thought it was unnecessary and wanted to refuse, but just as the words came to her lips, she seemed to remember something and suddenly changed her mind.
"Okay, make one, and listen to Jiujiu~"
Xi Jiu didn't expect the little girl to be so easy to talk to, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Ruan Qi sensed his surprise, but didn't say much. She just smiled and let the nurse push her into the examination room.
"Uncle Bai Li, why did Jiujiu ask me to do a full head examination?"
Bai Li, who was eating noodles in the system, paused.
He scratched his hair as if to cover up, coughed and said, "I'm worried about you. After all, your head was hit by such a big rock."
Ruan Qi didn't say anything after hearing this explanation.
She let the nurse help her lie down on the instrument. After the instrument started, she slowly said in her heart: "Jiujiu is worried about me. But I think he is hiding something from me."
Bai Li's hand trembled and the chopsticks almost fell to the ground.
He quickly put down the bowl of instant noodles, wiped his mouth hastily, and laughed guiltily, "How is that possible? You know how good that guy is to you. He would never hide anything from you!"
Ruan Qi had reservations about Bai Li's words.
She didn't doubt Xi Jiu's feelings for her, but after the nightmare in the mine, she felt like a piece of her memory seemed to be missing.
The people around her, not only Xi Jiu, but also Xu Xiangyang, Ruan Munan, Nie Heng, and even her master Nie Beilou, are likely to be insiders.
Ruan Qi wasn't stupid, she just hadn't thought about it carefully before. Now that she thought about it carefully, Xi Jiu and Ruan Munan's behavior was indeed a little strange sometimes.
For example, the last time Nie Beilou brought her back to the sect, she actually fell asleep in a daze and slept for such a long time.
Ruan Qi admitted that she wasn't a big sleeper. Her sleep quality had never been very good, and that day was her first time back to the sect. How could she possibly sleep so soundly in such an unfamiliar environment?
"I suspect that my master did something to me that day." The little girl said very confidently.
Bai Li was almost scared to death by her reasoning.
Is this girl from Scotland Yard? Why is she imitating Sherlock Holmes?
Frightened, Bai Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and trembled, "That shouldn't be the case. What did your master want from you? Just to make you sleep?"
Ruan Qi frowned, unable to answer.
But she always felt...
"Uncle Bai Li, do you still remember my great uncle Chu Yujiang?"
Bai Li: “…”
Ruan Qi ignored his silence and continued to analyze: "Master Chu is a world-renowned psychiatrist. Do you think Master brought me back to the sect that day just to see him?"
Bai Li: “…”
Ruan Qi continued to ignore his silence, stroking her chin and muttering to herself, "Suppose my memory is truly lost, and Master doesn't want me to know about it. Then he's most likely to lure me back to the sect and knock me unconscious. Then he can ask Master Chu to examine me. That way, it would explain why I slept for so long that day at the sect."
"But... why didn't Master want me to know that I have memory loss?"
“…” Bai Li had no answer to this.
He now just wants to be alone, or even disappear from this system.
God knows what kind of brain this girl he is tied to has.
He usually looks silly, but why is he so awesome at reasoning?!
Girl, why don't you help me figure out who Conan's boss is?
I've been following this drama for almost a thousand episodes and I'm going crazy!!!
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－－
Bai Li: I’ve become autistic, don’t cue me.
Hey babies, there's only one chapter today. My son has to go to the hospital for a colonoscopy and gastroscopy tomorrow, so he started taking those electrolyte laxatives today. He's going to the bathroom every 20 minutes, and he's already crying. He'll be up at 4 a.m. tomorrow to continue taking the laxatives and pooping, so he's off to bed now. Good night, babies.
