Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Can you be my mom? _1
After returning home, because they were too curious about this little thing, Qin Sisi and Ye You did not immediately rest but began to study the little thing curled up inside the sphere.
After watching for a while, Qin Sisi reminded, "I feel it’s a ghost. Since it’s going to dawn soon, should we take some protective measures?"
Ghosts cannot appear in sunlight, otherwise they would immediately become dust.
The tiny creature was very quiet at the moment, with no significant movement or sound.
After a slight hesitation, Ye You said, "I should put it in the Portable Space first. From its condition, it seems it needs a rest."
He paused for a moment and added, "We need rest as well."
Knowing that Ye You was correct as they had indeed been busy for a long time, Qin Sisi offered no objection, allowing Ye You to put the little creature into the Portable Space.
They each went to the bathroom and washed up before they went to bed.
Perhaps the little thing was very strange, leaving a deep impression on Qin Sisi. As soon as she closed her eyes, she could see the little creature curled up in the glowing sphere, spinning around in her head.
It took a long time for Qin Sisi to finally fall asleep.
The next day, as Qin Sisi was practicing magic, the yellow cat appeared on the windowsill again, bringing good news this time.
It turned out that a group of the cats that were sent out to find the man with the mole had found him and completed the task.
Another group of cats did not find the man, but in an industrial warehouse in the suburbs, they found a ghost.
When they returned home last night, they told the yellow cat about it. Knowing that Ye You was in need of ghosts, the cat had come to share the good news with Ye You.
Ye You was indeed in a good mood upon hearing the news from the yellow cat and had Qin Sisi bring him some food. The cat left happily.
"Shall we go check it out tonight?" After the yellow cat left, Qin Sisi sought Ye You’s opinion.
Ye You thought for a while and replied, "Tonight let’s communicate with the little thing first. Let’s solve his problem before we seek the one in the warehouse. Judging from the yellow cat’s reaction, the person should have died not too long ago and probably won’t leave the place yet."
Qin Sisi nodded. Ye You was more experienced in collecting ghosts than her, so she was willing to follow his plan.
At that time, Ye You also thought his arrangement was the best, but a few days later when he realized how difficult it was to handle the little thing, it was a bit late. The trip to the suburban warehouse was delayed again and again.
When night fell, Ye You let the little thing, which had been resting in the Portable Space for the whole day, out.
It was hunched up in the glowing sphere, and it slowly opened two narrow slits on its head, which looked like a pair of eyes.
It gazed at Qin Sisi and Ye You with those small eyes, then gave a "hehe" laugh.
Looking at the peculiar shape of the small creature, Qin Sisi suddenly surmised what it might be. She quickly turned to Ye You and said, "Could it be... "
"Feng Jingyuan’s child," Ye You finished her sentence.
Even guessing the truth, Qin Sisi was still shocked.
Feng Jingyuan had committed suicide after learning she was pregnant. Qin Sisi was fully aware of this, but she had never imagined that this fetus could become an independent ghost and remain intact in the human world after the mother had given up her Soul Power.
"Hold me." The little thing suddenly uttered two clear words in a babyish voice.
Qin Sisi was even more amazed. She stared at the little creature without blinking her eyes and asked, "You can talk?"
The little thing giggled and replied, "I have always been able to talk, but I don’t speak with my mouth, I speak with my heart."
As it spoke, it extended two tiny hands towards Qin Sisi.
They were indeed very small, and the arms were almost the size of an adult’s thumb. Through the translucent skin, you could see the traces of blood vessels.
Qin Sisi couldn’t resist those tiny little hands. She stretched out her palms to hold the glowing sphere enclosing the little thing and gently embraced it.
In Qin Sisi’s warm embrace, the light emanating from the sphere enclosing the little thing became more and more intense, yet very gentle, and did not give off a glaring sensation.
Ye You gazed at the little thing, his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness. How was he supposed to deal with this little creature?
It would be good if he could also give up his Soul Power, but did he have any wishes?
Intimidation probably wouldn’t work, and Qin Sisi couldn’t bear to be harsh either.
Seduction, what would he be interested in?
Just as Ye You was deep in thought, the little thing lifted its head in Qin Sisi’s arms and asked in a babyish voice, "Can you be my mom?"
Qin Sisi and Ye You were both taken aback.
"No." Ye You was the first to reply, firmly rejecting the little thing’s request.
The little thing didn’t understand Ye You’s language, but it felt the displeasure and resistance in his "meow". It gave Ye You a cold look with its narrowed little eyes and hunched further into Qin Sisi’s arms.
Qin Sisi gestured to Ye You not to be impulsive, then she picked up the little thing and said softly, "I’m sorry, I can’t be your mom because you already have a mom."
The light from the sphere around the little thing suddenly dimmed, becoming a light gray color.
Even though his facial features couldn’t express too much emotion, Qin Sisi could feel his heartache and grief.
"My mom doesn’t want me, my dad doesn’t want me either. They don’t love me, and I don’t love them either." The little thing said this quite straightforwardly, leaving Qin Sisi stunned.
She knew very well that when Feng Jingyuan learned she was pregnant, she felt despair, helplessness, fear, shock, regret...
All negative emotions with not a trace of joy from being a mother for the first time. The fetus sensed all these negative emotions from its mother and knew that she didn’t welcome it, which caused it to harbor resentments towards her.
If the mother was welcoming and joyful about the baby’s arrival, then the fetus might have chosen to be one with the mother. When Feng Jingyuan surrendered her Soul Power, the baby would also choose to stand or fall together with her.
But the fetus hadn’t felt love from its mother, so it was not willing to love her either. The resentment made it an independent ghost that could still remain in the world after its mother’s soul disappeared.
While Qin Sisi felt sympathy for the little thing, she really could not be its mother, and could only be firm by saying, "Your mom didn’t not want you, she had no choice. At that time, she couldn’t even take care of herself, let alone you."
"Then does she love me?" The little thing blinked its small eyes. The emotions coming from it were heavy with anticipation, and the sphere that enveloped it regained a bit of its glow.
