Man:...
Woman:...
As for that being the reason... it wasn't impossible...
But...
The man and woman exchanged glances, then smiled bitterly.
So that was the reason?
Chi Xiuchuan was also a little surprised. He had thought Master Xiao had done something.
He hadn't expected Strawberry's departure to be what had prompted the girl.
"Strawberry really was Qiqi's savior."
He murmured under his breath.
The man heard him and nodded in agreement. "You can say that again."
Once his initial disbelief had faded, he had more or less accepted the explanation.
Student Xiao had no reason to lie to him.
"Strawberry was practically a savior sent by God for this child."
The man smiled.
Chi Xiuchuan smiled and nodded.
He knew the man only meant that Strawberry's departure had made the child speak.
But he also knew that Strawberry had taken revenge on Qiqi's behalf by giving Yuan Yuan that strange illness.
Looking at it that way, rather than calling Strawberry a monster, it seemed more fitting to call Strawberry Qiqi's Guardian Spirit.
The woman stroked the child's soft hair. "Because Qiqi is a good girl."
"So God watches over her."
"...Qiqi will grow up safely and happily."
After staying a little longer, Xiao Xiao said goodbye.
"Student Xiao, thank you so much for everything this time."
At the entrance, the man smiled gratefully at Xiao Xiao. "If you hadn't come by, who knows how long it would have taken for this child to speak."
"You've been a benefactor to our family."
The man spoke from the heart.
"A Chuan, thank you too."
"Please thank Director Chi for me as well. You've all gone to so much trouble for Qiqi."
If it weren't for Director Chi and his son, he and Qiqi wouldn't have met Student Xiao.
And
