Chapter 618: Chapter 618: Dawn’s Heart _1
Qin Sisi pondered for a bit, hesitating to ask Qiu Huxi, "What do you think about your parents having another child, or adopting one?"
Qiu Huxi thought about it with a furrowed brow, "They are getting on in age. I don’t think it’s fitting for them to have another child, caring for a child is just too much work. As for adopting, I always feel like there’s a bit of an emotional strain. I don’t know how thankful they’d be once they are independent."
Qiu Huxi’s words held some truth, whether birthing another child or adopting, there would be a lot of problems to face.
Unable to think of any effective solutions at the moment, Qin Sisi was momentarily stumped.
Qiu Huxi let out a sigh and said, "I was about to graduate and I was all set to support myself and look after my parents, why in the world did I give up on life so suddenly?"
As she said this, she balled her hands into fists and thumped her own head, as if she deeply regretted her impulsive action back then.
But some things, no matter how much you regret, it’s too late to change anything.
Qin Sisi rubbed her temples and said, "How about this, tomorrow I take you home to see your parents, we can slowly think of a solution, okay?"
With no better ideas himself, Qiu Huxi could only agree to Qin Sisi’s suggestion to go home and see his parents the next day.
She hasn’t seen her parents for a year already, and she didn’t know how they were faring now.
Ye You placed the ghost of Qiu Huxi into his Portable Space, and Qin Sisi patted Ye You asking, "Do you have any good solutions?"
"Not at the moment," Ye You’s straightforward response only added to Qin Sisi’s frustration, she looked at him speechlessly.
Ye You hopped onto Qin Sisi’s shoulder, rubbed her hair and said, "Don’t look at me like that. I’m not a jack of all trades. But your last suggestion wasn’t bad, go to her house and see, maybe we’ll think of something."
Without uttering a word, Qin Sisi removed Ye You from her shoulder, turned around and went into the bathroom to wash up.
She really liked Qiu Huxi, and she felt uneasy because she couldn’t think of an effective way to help her.
Ye You looked at the retreating figure of Qin Sisi, he paused slightly, his eyes filled with a trace of melancholy, he felt a bit neglected.
After Qin Sisi finished washing up and lay down, Ye You jumped onto her, leaned down and gently bit her lips.
Qin Sisi let out a moan, and subconsciously pushed him away.
Ye You didn’t move, lifting his head to look at Qin Sisi, his voice ambiguously said, "Ignoring me just because you made a new friend?"
Qin Sisi’s face turned slightly red as she replied in a soft voice, "That’s not it. I was just trying to help her."
"Really?" Ye You’s eyes deepened, like a pool of serene water.
"Really." Qin Sisi met his gaze without flinching, her eyes clear and sparkling.
Ye You smiled, his fuzzy paw covered Qin Sisi’s smooth cheek, then his half-moon-shaped ear moved past her rosy fair neck.
Feeling a sudden rush of panic, Qin Sisi quickly reached up to hold Ye You’s paw, "What are you doing? No monkey business."
"Even a touch is not allowed?" Ye You’s voice was low and seductive.
"No." Even in denying, Qin Sisi’s face was getting hotter and hotter.
Ye You looked at Qin Sisi playfully for a moment, then bent down suddenly to drop gentle, delicate kisses on her lips and face.
One was affectionate and reluctant to let go, the other half-accepting, half-rejecting. After a long time entwined with each other, they snuggled up together and drifted off to sleep.
After waking up the next morning, Qin Sisi quickly tidied up then had breakfast with Ye You. She then released the ghost of Qiu Huxi, preparing to accompany her to visit her family.
Of course, Ye You also drew a charm on Qiu Huxi’s forehead in advance to prevent her from sunlight, enabling her safely appear during the day.
Although she still hasn’t thought of an excellent way to fulfill her filial duty to her parents, knowing that she was going to see her parents who she hadn’t seen for a year, Qiu Huxi was still very happy.
Qin Sisi did not use the invisible bubble, but held Ye You, according to the route given by Qiu Huxi, took the bus to Qiu’s house.
During the journey, Qiu Huxi was humming a song.
"In ordinary days miracles can be sung,
Asking you if you would travel with me.
Open your hopes,
Singing is the wings,
Flying towards your dreams,
Behind life, there will always be someone admiring,
Strength is my advocacy,
There is a window in my heart that is never closed,
Greeting the new sunshine every day..."
Her song was light-hearted and moving, the sunlight was pouring into the window, Qin Sisi felt as if the sunlight was pouring into her heart along with the song.
She recognized this song as the one Qiu Huxi was singing and dancing to on the rooftop that night, she couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, "You really like this song, huh?"
Qiu Huxi nodded and responded, "Yes, this song is called "Dawn of the Heart", it’s my favorite song."
There was a soft smile on her face, and her two dimples were playful and cute.
Qin Sisi couldn’t help but remember when her father had taught her how to sing as a child, she continued smiling, "You seem to like singing and dancing a lot."
Qiu Huxi pursed her lips and replied, "I do like it, but I didn’t sing a lot before. I wasn’t able to dance, I felt my singing was too awful, and I feared embarrassing myself."
Qin Sisi quickly responded, "No way, you sound great, of course we can’t compare ourselves with professional singers, as long as we are happy it’s enough."
Qiu Huxi nodded enthusiastically in agreement, she had this feeling of not meeting Qin Sisi earlier, and said regretfully, "I listened too much to my terrible ex-boyfriend back then, he said my singing was awful and he didn’t let me dance. I loved singing but I was too afraid to, I wanted to learn to dance but I dared not. Looking back now, I regret not dumping him earlier."
A black line crossed Qin Sisi’s forehead, but she still agreed with Qiu Huxi’s words.
If you’re in a relationship that’s making you feel oppressed and unhappy, it might not be a good one.
Qin Sisi glanced at Ye You in her arms thoughtfully, recalling that Ye You never seemed to criticize her. Even when she was very clumsy practicing her magic techniques, Ye You was always there to comfort and encourage her.
Hence, she probably doesn’t need to give Ye You the boot.
Ye You just noticed that Qin Sisi was looking at him strangely, oblivious to her inner thoughts. If he knew what Qin Sisi was thinking right now, he would probably freak out.
When they arrived at the bottom of Qiu Huxi’s apartment building, Qiu Huxi looked at a car parked in the nearby parking lot and furrowed her eyebrows, "This car looks so familiar."
"Is it your family’s?" Qin Sisi asked.
Qiu Huxi shook her head, "No, it’s not ours, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen it. Probably belongs to a neighbor!"
Without paying too much thought, Qin Sisi noticed there was no one around, she immediately had Ye You put up the invisibility bubble, and they followed Qiu Huxi up the stairs.
