The little girl ignored the man.
The man patiently coaxed, "You're still young. If I hurt you, I'll be the one who feels the pain. When you grow up, Dad will definitely, definitely fight with you."
The little girl nodded. "Dad, you can't go back on your word. Going back on your word makes you a little dog."
"Dad won't go back on his word, let's pinky swear."
The man extended his little finger and made a pinky promise with the little girl.
A child's innocent voice rang out: "Pinky promise, a hundred years from now, stamp it."
The little girl happily touched her thumb.
The man was helpless but also indulgent. "I really don't know where you learned to fight so much. I'm worried that your future husband will be abused by you."
"Dad... I'm still young, I'm too young to get married..."
"Yes, my baby is still young. By the time he grows up, his dad will be old."
"I won't get old, Dad will never get old. I will always stay by Dad's side. I don't need a future husband, I just want to stay with Dad."
The man picked up the girl and walked forward. "Silly child, Dad hopes you can find someone who loves you even more than Dad does. Ideally, he would marry into my family and treat you well, that would be even better."
"Dad... I have to choose my own future husband, you can't interfere."
"What kind of person do you want to be your husband? Let me make it clear first, I don't object to child husbands or early relationships. I only have one requirement: the person you choose must treat you well. I don't want my daughter to be hurt by a heartless man."
The girl shyly wrapped her arms around the man's neck, hiding her face between her arms.
"Dad..."
"Okay, okay, Dad won't say anything more."
As the two walked away, Shi Xi's consciousness returned to her body.
She sat up groggily, her eyes somewhat unfocused.
Di Chenxiao glanced at his watch; it was 3:30 a.m.
Holding Shi Xi close, his voice was rather hoarse, "Were you dreaming?"
"I think I just dreamt of a man and a little girl, but... I couldn't see their faces clearly."
"Man? Girl? What did they say?"
Has Xixi started dreaming about Yu Kai again?
Thinking of this, Di Chenxiao's eyes were like those of a sleeping eagle, fierce and dangerous.
Shi Xi told Di Chenxiao about the conversation between the man and the girl that she had just heard in her dream.
After listening, Di Chenxiao remained silent for a long time, looking at the bewildered Shi Xi with a complicated expression.
Do you believe that the dead can be brought back to life?
Believe me!
If she hadn't experienced being transported into a book, she probably wouldn't believe that the dead could be brought back to life.
Di Chenxiao got out of bed and poured Shi Xi a glass of warm water, as people who have just woken up are usually quite thirsty.
"Your dream may be trying to give you a hint; the person you dreamed about may be a relative from your past life."
He half-embraced Shi Xi and fed her water.
Shi Xi shook her head. Di Chenxiao stopped feeding her and drank the rest of the water in the glass in one gulp before placing the glass on the bedside table.
She found a comfortable spot in Di Chenxiao's arms and nestled... no, lay down.
"Relatives from a past life? What do you mean?"
"Perhaps the person in your dream is your relative, and your relative is missing you."
Shi Xi was getting more and more confused. "Relatives? Dad?"
Di Chenxiao's heart skipped a beat. Should he tell Xixi the secret that she was Chongxi?
Unfortunately, Xi doesn't have Chongxi's memories. If he tells her, will she believe him?
If I don't tell her, will she resent me for not telling her sooner so she could go and keep Uncle Chong company?
She tapped her head. "Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep now!"
“Xixi, actually, I know you’re not…”
