A cold wind blew by, and snowflakes drifted down from the branches, a few glistening ones landing on Feng Yaoyao's neck.
The hexagonal object, though seemingly harmless, sent a chill down her spine.
Qin Bai reached out and gently brushed the snowflakes from her black hair.
Then I quietly watched her, waiting for her to continue her story.
Since she dared to bring this up again, it means she has made ample preparations.
"I know I can't make up for Xiao Hei's death. Even if I say I'll spend the rest of my life paying for it, it would be too hypocritical."
When a person truly repents, even the aura they exude carries a slight sadness.
Feng Yaoyao lowered her eyes, and a crystal tear fell to the ground from the center of a falling snowflake.
The marks are distinct, and water droplets freeze instantly.
Qin Bai didn't interrupt her or offer any comfort; he simply waited quietly.
"Do you remember the little squirrel we met in the woods that day? I brought it back with me."
Perhaps fearing that Qin Bai might misunderstand, she quickly explained, "I didn't force it; we discussed it together."
The atmosphere was already heavy, but upon hearing those words, Qin Bai really couldn't hold back anymore.
"Um... if I may ask, when did you acquire your superpowers?"
Feng Yaoyao wiped her eyes a few times, then looked up in surprise and asked, "I don't have any superpowers either."
"So how do you communicate with the squirrel?"
"That's how we communicated. I asked it if it wanted to come home with me, and it didn't object."
Qin Bai was so angry he laughed.
I'll oppose you, my foot!
If you were to actually voice your opposition, you'd probably have been eaten by a monster long ago.
"Then, continue."
"After I brought it home, I gave it a bath, fed it, and took it to the vet for vaccinations."
"But what does this have to do with Xiao Hei?"
“Yes, yes.” Feng Yaoyao’s expression was very serious: “I feel that it is Xiao Hei.”
"Don't joke around."
Qin Bai waved his hand, "We're not even the same species, and you're trying to play the reincarnation game with me?"
"No, Xiaobai, that's really how I feel. When I don't keep it in its cage, it sits quietly in front of me, especially when I touch its forehead with my finger, it rubs against me."
Seeing Feng Yaoyao's serious expression, Qin Bai smiled.
"Then let me ask you, is it male or female?"
“It’s a female, I specifically asked the vet.”
And then...
Feng Yaoyao took his hand and said nervously, "I want to give it to you, is that okay? I've already picked out a name for it, I'll call it Xiao Hei."
A hint of expectation lingered deep in his eyes.
If he can accept it, this knot in his heart might be untied.
Qin Bai stared at her for a long time, then calmly shook his head.
"no."
Upon hearing this answer, Feng Yaoyao lowered her eyes again and gave a bitter smile.
yes.
I should have thought of that earlier.
It's all just wishful thinking on my part.
Why should someone who killed another person's dog expect to compensate with something?
What's done is done. Even the Moonlight Box can't save those who deserve it, let alone ordinary people like ourselves.
"I understand, from now on..."
"That little squirrel shouldn't be called Little Black. Let's give it a new name."
Feng Yaoyao suddenly looked up. Sunlight streamed down, and her gentle face looked like an angel with a golden edge, descending to earth once again.
"Wh-what?"
"No one should be a substitute for anyone else. It's all in the past, so why dwell on it?"
"So, you've already agreed to let me take the little squirrel?"
Her eyes lit up with surprise; there couldn't have been better news.
"Okay, I'll bring it over when I have time."
Feng Yaoyao threw herself into his arms.
She said emotionally, "I knew Xiaobai was the best. Don't worry, leave your later years to us, mother and daughter. We'll make sure you have a comfortable stay."
Qin Bai gave her a disdainful look.
What a terrible metaphor.
How did they become mother and daughter?
Why did you serve me until I left?
I haven't lived enough yet.
Thank you.
Now that things had been discussed openly, Feng Chacha was in an exceptionally good mood.
The two continued walking slowly forward, praising everything they saw, and wishing they could give every naughty child a lollipop.
Qin Bai looked up at the distant clouds and suddenly understood a principle.
It turns out that you don't need an excuse to forgive someone, even if Xiao Hei is a male dog.
Do species and gender matter?
It doesn't matter anymore.
More than a decade of repentance and searching is enough to make up for any mistakes. Besides, the root of this matter is not Feng Yaoyao's fault; she was just a victim herself.
Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor.
Those robbers from back then were crippled by Feng Bin long ago, so they shouldn't be a source of inner demons for the little green tea.
What did she do wrong? She was just too kind-hearted and ran into me.
Having gone through so much, Qin Bai has come to terms with many things. He treats each day as if it were the day before he goes to his coffin, and everything else seems less important.
Upon arriving at the fresh food supermarket, Feng Yaoyao's steps became lighter, and she hummed a song.
It's nice to say but not to say it.
This was the first time the two of them had gone out to buy groceries, just like a couple sharing an apartment for the first time; everything seemed so new and exciting.
Feng Yaoyao would occasionally glance back at him and smile. If Qin Bai hadn't been holding her back, she would have felt like she was about to fly away with joy.
When she got to the vegetable section, she asked, "How much are these chives, boss?"
"Huh? You like to eat this?"
Suddenly, Qin Bai had a bad feeling.
"Then don't worry about it."
Seeing the bunch of chives handed to him, Qin Bai reluctantly accepted it.
"Boss, give me 5 catties of oysters."
"Duo... Duo Shao?" Qin Bai immediately lost his composure.
So, does this mean only one of us can survive tonight?
I knew this little guy was about to start causing trouble.
The boss looked at Qin Bai with a meaningful smile.
He stuffed the weighed oysters into his hand and said with a smile, "I understand, young man. Just eat these oysters from our place. You'll eat them one by one without saying a word, and I guarantee you'll want to come back next time."
Ha! I can see that; you're quite knowledgeable.
Otherwise, your wife won't be able to keep watching you smile.
Dude, you're in for a late-night overtime session.
Wishing you a healthy pregnancy.
Seeing Qin Bai's somewhat embarrassed expression, Feng Yaoyao laughed even harder.
There's nothing more fun than teasing a newbie.
It was another happy day.
I can also find out what Qin Bai likes to eat most, and learn more from Aunt Cheng later so I can cook it for him in the future.
When the two came out, Qin Bai was carrying more than a dozen plastic bags.
This was the result after he argued his case logically; otherwise, judging from Feng Yaoyao's intentions, she wanted to buy the entire supermarket.
I really want to explain to her that unless it's the end of the world, there's no need to hoard so much stuff.
