After Zhou Rong turned off the camera, Yue Xin took out a small box embroidered with lotus flowers and handed it to her.

After Zhou Rong opened it, she realized that there were several exquisite snacks inside.

“Are these for me?” Zhou Rong asked in surprise.

Yue Xin nodded. Seeing that Zhou Rong didn’t eat much for dinner, she asked the production team for some snacks. She originally wanted Zhou Rong to eat quickly, but who knew that she would actually cry? She cried until she was out of breath and hugged the box of snacks tightly.

Yue Xin was stunned, thinking that she had just done something overboard.

After crying for a while, Zhou Rong sobbed and said, “Thank you. I’ll keep it well. ”

Yue Xin was speechless. These were snacks. If she didn’t eat them today, they would spoil tomorrow!

She quickly took a few tissues and handed them to Zhou Rong. She snatched the box and opened it. She took out some snacks and stuffed them into Zhou Rong’s mouth. Her movements were smooth.

Zhou Rong was caught off guard and was stuffed with a mouthful of snacks. She felt wronged. “This is a gift from you. How can I eat it? Boohoo… It tastes so good. Boohoo…”

Yue Xin only wanted her to eat quickly!

In the end, Zhou Rong cried and blamed herself. She finished the snacks with a blissful expression.

Yue Xin suspected that Zhou Rong had dual personalities. She was submissive in front of Zhou Xue during the day and cried, made a fuss, and chattered in front of her.

Yue Xin lay back on the bed, plugged in her phone, and was about to sleep.

Zhou Rong also leaned over, but when she got into bed, she gave a painful yelp.

Yue Xin looked at Zhou Rong, who quickly explained, “I’m fine. My body hurts a

little from working during the day. I should be fine tomorrow.”

Hearing Zhou Rong’s words, some of the audience recalled what happened during the day.

[Li Xing only helped Zhou Xue with her work during the day. This child completed her mission herself.]

[Yeah, I remember now. Zhou Rong is quite amazing. She did so many things and didn’t complain at all.]

[Oh my god, her presence is really too low. I’ve been watching the live broadcast and didn’t notice it, but Li Xing really only helped Zhou Xue complete the mission.]

[What do these comments mean? Don’t step on my Brother Xing. If Yue Lingfeng doesn’t do anything, can Brother Xing handle it himself?]

[It’s a fact that he didn’t help. Why did you mention Lingfeng? My Brother Yue earned money today and even bought noodles for everyone. Where did your eyes go? You’re really the same as the main character.]

[That’s right. Someone is as arrogant as Yue Lingfeng.]

The comments section was in an uproar. At this moment, Yue Xin had already sat up and pressed Zhou Rong’s legs. She realized that when she pressed a few spots, Zhou Rong’s expression was very uncomfortable. Those spots were filled with lactic acid.

In Yue Xin’s memory, there was the memory of the prison lady teaching her to massage. Then, she raised Zhou Rong’s leg and found those places to rub.

When she was massaging, Zhou Rong felt a little pain. She couldn’t help but kick her leg, which happened to hit Yue Xin.

Yue Xin didn’t care about being kicked, but she kept struggling and couldn’t massage properly. She said, “Don’t move. I’ll massage you. It won’t hurt tomorrow.”

Hearing Yue Xin’s words, Zhou Rong was stunned. She even forgot about the pain in her leg. She looked at Yue Xin in a daze. “Xinxin, you, you can speak!”

Yue Xin nodded. “Yes.”

Zhou Rong seemed to have thought of something and her expression suddenly turned ugly. She asked carefully, “Then are you usually unable to speak?”

Yue Xin’s massage hand paused for a moment before quickly returning to normal. Perhaps at night, one’s psychological defense would be lowered. Perhaps since she had many memories in her mind, no one could tell her. Or perhaps Zhou Rong’s caring tone made her feel very at ease. Actually, the reason why she didn’t speak wasn’t because her brother asked her to maintain her autistic persona, but because…

“It’s not that I can’t. I’m just very afraid.” She was afraid of being influenced by the memories that seemed to belong to her but didn’t. She was also afraid of the people closest to her parting ways with her. She was afraid of the unknown feeling. Therefore, silence was the best choice, although this was an escape. The reason why she was willing to talk to Yue Lingchen was that when she first fell into the water and woke up, this brother would cooperate with her and be unreasonable. When she was bullied, he was willing to abandon his work and come over to support her. No matter what, Yue Xin was only a twelve-year-old child now. After knowing so much, she needed a spiritual pillar, and Yue Lingchen was this pillar. However, she couldn’t tell anyone these words. She would only seize the time to eat and sleep.

Hearing Yue Xin’s answer, Zhou Rong suddenly replied, “Yes, me too..”
