Qiao Ruoxi lowered her head. It turned out that Tong Xiaomei was awake.
She was just thinking about how to explain this when Tong Xiaomei suddenly shrank back and pointed behind Qiao Ruoxi: "Ghost, such an ugly ghost!"
Qiao Ruoxi turned around and saw Pei Yaori floating behind her, still looking like the evil ghost as before.
Pei Yaori looked down at himself with hurt expression: "Am I ugly? I always thought I was very cool, much cooler than my original appearance!"
Qiao Ruoxi squatted down, raised her eyebrows and asked Tong Xiaomei: "Can you see him?"
Tong Xiaomei looked puzzled: "Qiao Ruoxi, why are you here too? Wait, can you see this ugly ghost too?"
"I'm not ugly. Hey, girl, I'm back to my original appearance. Take another look." Pei Yaori changed back to his original appearance, eager to prove himself.
Jasmine Tong nodded: "Although it's still ugly, it's better than before."
Pei Yaori: ...Wow, kids nowadays have to be so sharp-tongued!
Qiao Ruoxi curled her lips and said, "He's my man, oh no, my ghost. You've been possessed by a ghost before, so your third eye must have been opened. Since you can see him, you should be able to remember what happened just now, right?"
"What happened?..." Tong Xiaomei hugged her head, her brows furrowed little by little, and finally she closed her eyes tightly.
When she opened her eyes again, Tong Xiaomei's eyes were red. She buried her face in her hands and burst into tears: "Shuyang treated me like that, but when I think of him being with other girls, it still hurts. Am I useless?"
"It's normal to feel sad and upset when your feelings aren't reciprocated or you're even betrayed. No one will make fun of you and say you're useless." Qiao Ruoxi's voice was gentle and had a soothing power.
Tong Xiaomei really stopped crying, looked up at Qiao Ruoxi, and sniffed: "But I'm scared. I can't imagine what life will be like without Gao Shuyang. No one will say good morning and good night to me anymore."
"People's fear comes from the fear of the unknown. Why not think about what your life was like before you met Gao Shuyang? Wasn't it good? Is a simple good morning or good night really worth exchanging your whole life for?"
After hearing what Qiao Ruoxi said, Tong Xiaomei fell into deep thought for a long time, and finally she covered her face and started crying again.
Qiao Ruoxi rubbed her forehead.
In the past, whenever she coaxed the little emperor, he would laugh. She thought she was good at coaxing children, but it seems that the little emperor is easier to coax!
"Wow, I'm too embarrassed to see my parents. I'm going to jump off a building for a man. They must be very disappointed in me. What should I do?" Tong Xiaomei cried more and more sadly.
Qiao Ruoxi sighed, "Your parents are the people who care about you the most in this world. They were so worried just now. They're just thankful that you're fine. How could they not forgive you?"
"But I don't dare to face them..."
Qiao Ruoxi scratched her hair, took out the yellow talisman and brush, dipped it in cinnabar and drew a talisman, folded it and handed it to Tong Xiaomei: "Here."
Tong Xiaomei raised her tearful face and said, "What, what is this?"
"Hold the Courage Talisman in your palm and silently recite your own name three times. Then courage will be injected into you. Go and apologize to your parents. Even if they don't forgive you, don't you still have to apologize to them?"
Tong Xiaomei took the talisman paper and bit her lower lip: "Can it really give me courage?"
"Are you questioning me? Have you forgotten who helped you get rid of your inferiority complex?" Qiao Ruoxi raised her chin. "Besides, if it works, you'll know if you try it."
Tong Xiaomei supported herself on the ground with her chubby arms and finally stood up, walking step by step to the door of the rooftop.
She held the talisman, silently recited her name three times, and grasped the door handle of the rooftop emergency passage.
Light shone in from outside. The moment Tong Xiaomei opened the door, she was met with her parents' nervous and anxious faces. Her nose felt sore and she cried out, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry! I..."
Before Tong Xiaomei could finish her words, she was hugged by her parents, and the three of them cried together.
"Silly girl, don't say sorry, just be okay..."
"Tell Dad what you want to eat, and I'll buy it for you tonight."
"I don't eat. I want to lose weight."
"Okay, okay, mom and dad will help you lose weight together. We're a family, okay!"
Qiao Ruoxi glanced at the Tong family and left the rooftop quietly.
As I was walking towards the elevator, the man on the first floor followed me in.
"That's amazing, little girl. How did you convince her to come down?"
Qiao Ruoxi smiled and said, "Actually, my ancestors studied Taoism and the I Ching. Xiaomei got entangled, so that's why she's like this. Thank you, uncle, for bringing me up and helping me call the police and the rescue team."
After saying that, her gaze lingered on Pei Yaori behind the man for a moment.
The man shuddered suddenly. "You, you're into metaphysics? You, did you see something just now? The painting in my house suddenly fell down. Is that what you have at home?"
Qiao Ruoxi smiled without saying anything, took out a piece of notepaper, and wrote her phone number for him: "My name is Qiao Ruoxi. If you need anything, you can come to me."
After saying that, he strode away.
The man looked at the note paper in his hand, looked back several times, and felt inexplicably creepy.
"Come back when you've had enough fun." Qiao Ruoxi moved her fingertips slightly, and Pei Yaori was led back to Qiao Ruoxi by a red string.
Pei Yaori laughed heartily: "He suspects he's being followed by a ghost. Shouldn't I confirm it for him?"
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so don't rush around now."
"What does this mean?" Pei Yaori hurriedly caught up and asked.
