"Did I wake you up?" Sheng Xichen held Shi Xiyue tenderly and asked softly.

"No..." Shi Xiyue lazily snuggled into his arms and shook her gently. "Where have you been? Are you back to rest so late?"

"It's okay, let's sit outside." Sheng Xichen did not immediately tell Shi Xiyue what he learned from Shi Qingmo.

"Oh, then go to sleep."

She is so sleepy now and just wants to have a good sleep.

Now back at Shijia Villa, as long as Shi'er wakes up, everything can go back to the happiest days.

"Yueyue..." He kissed the hair on the top of the little woman's head and called her softly.

"Ok?"

"Once we're sure that Shi'er is fine, we'll go back to Bin City.

We have left Bin City for a long time, and we don’t know what the situation is like in Bin City now. Grandpa must miss us very much. "

Sheng Xianchen was tired of everything here. Although Binshi would have a lot of troubles, it was the place where he was born and raised after all.

"Well, it's all up to you." Shi Xiyue didn't think too much and vaguely agreed with his words.

Sheng Xianchen turned off the bedside lamp and fell asleep with the little woman in his arms.

But he couldn't sleep for a while.

Shi Qingmo's words made him very worried about Shi Qingyu. With Shi Xiyue's character, it was impossible for her to just watch something happen to her family and leave here to live a comfortable life.

More importantly, there is still Fang Ling'er's matter that has not yet been resolved.

Fang Ling'er is Shi Xiyue's biological sister, and she is still in Lin Boyuan's hands. If she is not rescued, Shi Xiyue will definitely be in trouble.

The next day, Shi Xiyue and her family had breakfast together in the restaurant. After breakfast, she immediately returned to the room to see Shi'er.

Shi'er was supposed to be sleeping, but suddenly woke up at some point. She stood in front of the window with bare feet, the morning breeze blowing the little girl's shawl hair. Her small hands were placed on the window, and she was facing outside the window, seeming to be looking at something.

Shi Xiyue approached her gently, suppressing the excitement in her heart.

Shi'er's hearing was quite amazing. She suddenly turned back to look at Shi Xiyue, and stepped back in fear.

"Shi'er..." Shi Xi was pleased to see that Shi'er had discovered her, and she called her happily.

"..." Shi'er frowned, looking wary.

She retreated to the corner of the wall, realizing that she had no place to hide. She turned around and ran to the bed next to her, grabbed the quilt with her hands and covered her head in the quilt.

"Shi'er, what's wrong with you? Don't you remember me? I'm your mommy Shi Xiyue..." Shi Xiyue sat on the edge of the bed, holding the quilt covering Shi'er's head. "Don't be like this, don't be afraid. I am your mommy, I will not hurt you..."

"..." Shi'er clutched the quilt desperately, as if she was afraid of seeing people.

Shi Xiyue didn't dare to pull the quilt forcefully anymore. She just patted it gently and said gently: "Shi'er, don't be afraid of me, okay? Mommy loves you so much, and she won't hurt you."

The ball under the quilt kept trembling. This must be Shi'er's body shaking due to fear.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Guoguo heard her mother's voice while she was still outside the corridor.

"Are Shi'er awake?" Sheng Jichen and Guoguo ran into the bedroom together.

"Well, she was just standing in front of the window. But after she saw me, she was so scared that she hid in the quilt." Shi Xiyue explained to them.

"How could this happen?" Sheng Xichen's voice was full of distress for Shi'er.

"Shi'er, I'm Guoguo, do you remember me?" Guoguo lay beside the bed and spoke softly to Shi'er. “We both look exactly the same, it’s like looking in the mirror.

Would you like to put down the quilt, open your eyes and look at me? "Guo Guo said in a milky voice.

Shi'er still didn't respond under the quilt.

"Shi'er..." Sheng Xianchen stretched out his hand and gently pulled the quilt, but Shi'er inside was frightened and retreated a little.

"Daddy, Shi'er is obviously very scared when she hears your voice. How about... you and mommy go out first. I'll talk to Shi'er here?"

Maybe you will slowly let down your guard against me? "

Guoguo proposed to them.

After all, they are both little girls and look exactly the same.

"Okay, then if you need anything, call us immediately and we'll wait outside the door, okay?" Sheng Xinchen told Guoguo.

"Oh, I see."

Shi Xiyue didn't want to go out, but for the sake of Shi'er's health, she had no choice but to go out first.

I hope Guo Guo can really persuade Shi'er.

In the yard downstairs.

Shen Tingxuan saw Bai Shan sitting alone in the pavilion. She thought Bai Shan must be worried about his evil mother-in-law, so she stepped forward to comfort him.

"White fir."

Bai Shan came back to his senses and looked at Shen Tingxuan.

"What are you doing in a daze? Sitting here alone."

"It's okay." Bai Shan picked up the tea cup and drank water, hiding the discomfort on his face.

"What is this? It looks weird, but it's pretty good-looking." Shen Tingxuan held a black 'moon'-shaped jade that was worn around Bai Shan's neck.

"It's just an ordinary stone, nothing interesting to see." Bai Shan replied lightly.

"No, I think it looks very nice. There are patterns on it, it should be a very special jade, right?"

"Really?" Bai Shan didn't pay attention at all when he heard Shen Tingxuan's words. She lowered her head and looked carefully.

There are shallow lines on the jade, and the lines seem to end when they reach the edge. It feels like this piece of jade is not complete.

"It looks a bit like an animal, right? The lines on both sides are different." Shen Tingxuan said while checking it.

"Then can you tell what kind of animal it is?"

"I don't know." Shen Tingxuan replied with a smile, and then let go of the hand holding the black jade.

"How can a piece of broken stone have animal patterns? The evil old woman is just a poor ghost. Except for her medical skills, she has nothing of value at all.

The most she gave me was a stone, how could it be jade? "

Bai Shan shook his head helplessly, expressing disgust at the 'stone' hanging around his neck. But after all, this was the only thing the evil mother-in-law gave her. It was like a token, so she would always keep it.

"What kind of stone, what kind of jade?" Sheng Zhimo heard their voices, walked towards the pavilion and asked curiously.

"Nothing." Shen Tingxuan replied.

"It's nothing. You two were chatting so enthusiastically?" Sheng Zhimo's eyes stayed on the object hanging around Bai Shan's neck. "Is this what you are talking about?" He reached out and grabbed it to check.

"What are you looking at? You don't understand." Bai Shan slapped Sheng Zhimo on the back of his hand, and then put the piece of black jade into his clothes.

"Why don't I understand? That stone...why does it feel so familiar to me?"
