At the mention of âmental illnessâ Han Qiqing suddenly remembered something. She asked Yin Shaojie hurriedly, âDidnât you say that Su Lin was there as well? What happened to her?â
Yin Shaojieâs expression froze for a second.
He looked at Xiaoxiao beside him and noticed that she was focused on eating, looking as if she wasnât paying attention.
Song Shijun read the mood and elbowed Han Qiqing, hinting to her not to mention it anymore.
Han Qiqing was confused. Frowning, she moved close to Song Shijunâs ear and whispered, âCould it be that Su Lin is⦠dead?â
Even though she didnât have a close friendship with Su Lin, they could still be considered friends, for their families had been acquainted for many years and they had interacted with each other on a daily basis.
Thus, upon hearing such grievous news, Han Qiqing couldnât help but feel a little sad.
Song Shijun seemed to guess the same thing as she did, and said in a low voice, âIt might be. After all, Su Lin got into an accident in front of Xiaoxiao⦠Even though she doesnât remember it anymore, itâs best for her to not know about it.â
Even though they were already whispering softly, Yin Shaojie still seemed to hear it as he looked over at them.
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun were concerned that Xiaoxiao might have heard and thus stopped talking, resuming their dinner.
After dinner, Han Qiqing suggested that they go shopping. As usual, she went up to hug Mu Xiaoxiaoâs arm.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment.
Qiqing smiled at her and said, âXiaoxiao, letâs go shop! Weâll do it like how we did before. Maybe youâll be able to remember things!â
Mu Xiaoxiao walked two steps forward, but kept looking back repeatedly.
Finally, she pushed Qiqingâs hand away and said, âSorry, I donât really feel like shopping.â
Under Qiqingâs astonished gaze, she then walked to the back and hugged Yin Shaojieâs arm.
âWhatâs wrong? You donât want to shop?â Yin Shaojie looked at her and asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Yin Shaojie didnât know what happened to her. She had been good friends with Qiqing before her memory loss. Could it be that she actually didnât consider Qiqing a good friend?
He thought that it was impossible. Xiaoxiao wasnât someone who liked to pretend. If she didnât like Qiqing, she wouldnât have become such good friends with her.
Could it be that⦠he had guessed wrong?
Even though he was feeling puzzled, Yin Shaojie still put Xiaoxiaoâs feelings first. Since she didnât want to shop anymore, they wouldnât continue.
âShijun, you can accompany Qiqing. Xiaoxiao might be tired, so Iâll bring her home first.â
Yin Shaojie took Xiaoxiao away after he spoke.
Han Qiqing stood behind them. She looked a little sad as she looked towards Song Shijun and said, âDoes Xiaoxiao not want to play with me because she doesnât remember me?â
Song Shijun comforted her. âI think youâre thinking too much. Xiaoxiao must feel uneasy because of her memory loss. Or it could be that⦠she doesnât feel afraid when sheâs with Shaojie.â
âIs this really true?â
âOf course! Who do you think is more important in Xiaoxiaoâs heart? You, or Shaojie?â Song Shijun looked at her and asked.
Han Qiqing was speechless.
Need this question be asked?
â¦
Yin Shaojie brought Xiaoxiao along the road. Originally, he wanted to go and get his car, but Xiaoxiao suddenly said, âLetâs go shop over there. I donât feel like going home yet.â
âDidnât you not want to shop earlier?â Yin Shaojie looked at her, amused.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and kept silent.
Yin Shaojie asked tentatively, âYou donât want to shop with Qiqing and the rest?â
