C71 (1/2)

He had chatted with Xia Mingyuan and the others for too long yesterday, so when he went back to sleep, it was already 3 in the morning. When he woke up in the morning, Zhou Xixi was already gone from his bed.

”You're awake? It just so happens that I've finished preparing breakfast. ”

I looked up and saw Zhou Xixi wrapped around my usual scarf, holding a spoon in his hand. He looked like a pretty cook.

”I'm sorry, I asked you to cook breakfast. I'll be up soon.”

I quickly sat up and changed my clothes. I went to the toilet to wash my face and brush my teeth. When I came out, Xia Mingyuan was already sitting at the table reading a book, waiting for me.

”Senior Brother, why are you so early as well?”

Xia Mingyuan nodded his head and, seeing me arrive, signalled to Zhou Xi that it was time to start eating. Zhou Xi nodded and went to the kitchen to bring the dishes out. Xia Ming saw that Zhou Xixi had already entered the kitchen. He then softly said, ”Little Yin, you should call me master from now on. There's no need to hide it from her.”

I looked at Xia Mingyuan in confusion, not knowing why I made an exception for Zhou Xixi. Xia Ming looked at me from afar and lightly tapped the book in his hand on my head.

”Silly girl, you didn't know that you leaked it yesterday. When she called me over this morning for dinner, she asked me this question, and I've already told her the truth.”

I thought about it carefully, as if I did accidentally make a mistake yesterday. I stuck out my tongue and said embarrassedly, ”That's good. It saves me the trouble of having to use a different name later.”

Zhou Xinxi, who just came out from the kitchen carrying the dishes, asked me in surprise, ”Who's in trouble? Me? ”

I hastily waved my hands and shook my head, indicating that this wasn't what I meant. ”I'm not happy that you're here. I don't know how much I've saved so how could I find it troublesome for you. ”I mean, it used to be a hassle to call it a hassle.

Zhou Xixi nodded, as if she was afraid that she would bring us some trouble. After the dishes were served, she happily asked us to eat, but she also ate very little. It was unknown what she was thinking.

I wanted to ask her if she had something hard to say, but Xia Mingyuan probably noticed it too, so I asked first.

”If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to hesitate.”

Zhou Xixi was originally immersed in the events of the past few days, and didn't know how to ask us. Now that Xia Mingyuan had taken the initiative to ask us, he let out a long breath, clearly revealing the doubts in his heart.

”Is my dad …”

Although Xia Mingyuan didn't follow us to the hospital, Feng Tianyu had already explained the situation clearly to him. He had guessed that Zhou Xixi wanted to ask this question, and sympathized with the child from the bottom of his heart.

”Your father could have been saved. After the Soul Gathering Fragrance gathers up his soul, we can still help your father recover. However, after his soul is gathered, someone found him and brought him into the wrong path. He's already an evil spirit, so we can only eliminate him!”

When Zhou Xixi heard those words, the tears in her eyes began to flow down her cheeks. Seeing her like this, she was not in the mood to eat, so she lightly patted her back.

”Is there an end to this? Who exactly is it? ”

Although Zhou Xixi wasn't directly involved in this matter, most of the information we know comes from her. It's not easy to deceive her.

Xia Mingyuan thought about it carefully, then decided to tell the truth. He told Zhou Xixi what he had told me yesterday.
