444 Her Memory Is Restored (1/2)
Lin Qiao was exhausted when she finally sent Mengmeng to a higher level. As she woke up, she found herself and Mengmeng floating in the middle of the lake.
She looked at the latter and was surprised to find that the scales on her face were gone. She saw the flawless face of Mengmeng—not as delicate and beautiful as Qiu Lili's, but looking young and pretty nevertheless.
Mengmeng had opened her eyes as well. Her green eyes glowed with a bright light, but soon, those eyes started to blink and show complicated looks.
Confusion, shock, anger, pain, sadness, hatred, helplessness… All sorts of emotions emerged in her mind and were expressed by her eyes.
Soon, Mengmeng's face wore a pained look. Her pretty face was twisted as she suddenly covered her temples with both hands and couldn't help but curl up her body.
”Roar!” She opened her mouth wide and let out a hoarse roar. Her sound caused a vibration that went into Lin Qiao's ears from the water and gave her a fright.
Her voice became a sound wave and spread in the water. The energy in the water absorbed the most of it, but still, it traveled to a long distance away.
Lin Qiao looked at her silently, sensing the tearing pain from Mengmeng' voice. She knew that Mengmeng's memory had been restored. However, judging by how she reacted now, Lin Qiao felt that it would better for her to never remember those things.
Mengmeng curled her body as she radiated a strong sadness. Clearly, she had a story. Lin Qiao didn't interrupt her, but swam to the lakeside alone. She decided to let Mengmeng stay in the lake alone for a while to calm down.
Lin Qiao went ashore with a stream of dark mist. As she put her clothes on, Qiu Lili and the others came to her with curiosity.
”Eh, where's Mengmeng?” Qiu Lili asked Lin Qiao while turning to look at the lake surface.
Lin Qiao took over the towel that Liu Jun handed her and responded while drying her hair, ”Ah, I think she has restored her memories. Apparently, that memory hit her badly. I think she's in a bad mood. Just let her stay in the lake for a while. I guess she'll come out later.”
Qiu Lili and the others all popped their eyes with surprise as they looked at Lin Qiao.
”Ah, she remembers things now? Will she become less crazy?” said Qiu Lili.
Lin Qiao shook her head and replied, ”I don't know. We can only find out after she comes out. How long had we been down there?” She suddenly thought of her appointment with the little one.
Qiu Lili took a glance at the exquisite watch on her slim wrist and said, ”You have spent eighteen hours in the lake. It's three o'clock in the afternoon now.”
Lin Qiao sighed in relief. 'Thank God I came up on time.'
At that moment, Viney's voice was suddenly heard from her head—'Mama, I sensed Ling Ling's vibe… Is she with you?'
Lin Qiao glanced at her own belly with surprise, then raised her eyes to look at the lake while answering the question, 'Can you sense that? She's in our base with her Daddy.'
Viney immediately responded happily, 'Mama, Mama, take me to see the little one! You only need to let her touch your belly!'
'Wait until night. I'll go and see her at night,' said Lin Qiao.
Viney didn't understand, 'Eh? Why do we have to wait until night? Can you do it now?'
Lin Qiao thought for a moment. She couldn't tell Viney that she didn't want to see Wu Chengyue, could she? 'Because I've made an appointment with the little one, so I'll be there when the time comes,' she said.
'Alright, we'll wait until night then,' said Viney, 'I'll go have some more sleep… Mama, wake me up at night.'
'How am I supposed to wake you up?' Lin Qiao asked.
'Just put a hand on your belly and call my name,' Viney taught her.
