When Li Zhao returned to his room, An Hao was already asleep. Seeing her somewhat tired face, Li Zhao felt a pain in his heart.
With a sigh, he picked up his clothes and went to take a shower.
Li Zhao thought of his father’s hesitance to speak, and wondered if there really was something he didn’t know about.
Was what he didn’t know the reason why his sister didn’t want to come back home?
Li Zhao irritably scratched his hair, feeling as if everyone else knew what had happened back then, and he was the only one left in the dark.
His sister wouldn’t say anything, his younger brother wouldn’t say anything, and now even his own father was acting like this.
This feeling of being kept in the dark was terrible, making him so frustrated that he felt like hitting someone.
After Li Zhao finished showering, he dried his hair and turned off the light before going to bed. He closed his eyes and slept only after pulling An Hao into his arms.
Qin Xue and her mother lay in bed chatting after washing up, talking about anything and everything that came to mind.
In fact, Qin Xue didn’t even know what to talk about. She just wanted to talk to her mother, so she said whatever came to mind, and her mother responded in kind.
Her mother’s knowledge and eloquence confirmed Qin Xue’s suspicion that her mother had an extraordinary background.
After talking for a long time, their voices slowly faded. Nangong Shulan looked at her already-asleep daughter, her heart aching softly.
She knew about her daughter’s changes, but she didn’t say anything. She thought this situation would not happen, but it still did.
She remembered when her daughter was little, a cute and well-behaved child.
One day, when a monk came to their village for alms, little Qin Xue gave him the steamed bun she held in her hand.
Grateful for Qin Xue’s kindness, the monk approached Nangong Shulan and said, “Madam, your daughter has a kind heart, but her fate with you is shallow. To ensure she grows up safely, you must be cautious around water. I have a jade pendant here; have her wear it, and never take it off. Otherwise, she may not be able to escape her calamities.”
The monk handed Nangong Shulan the jade pendant he was wearing and repeatedly emphasized not to remove it.
Otherwise, Qin Xue’s two disasters could cost her life.
If she couldn’t avoid the second calamity, then Nangong Shulan should be mentally prepared for what could come.
Indeed, as Qin Xue slowly grew up, one day, while playing with her younger sister, Qin Jiale was pushed into the water.
Qin Xue went down to save her, and although Qin Jiale was saved, Qin Xue almost died in the process.
Qin Xue was eventually rescued and experienced a high fever that wouldn’t subside. Afterward, her personality changed. But she was still kind-hearted, and Nangong Shulan eventually got used to having a daughter with a different personality. Now, after another head injury and period of unconsciousness, her daughter didn’t recognize anyone, and her personality had changed again.
Fortunately, her daughter was still kind-hearted. Nangong Shulan had experienced her daughter’s transformation three times, and thankfully, the monk had only talked to her about this matter.
If others knew, who knew how they would have reacted.
would they treat her daughter as a monster? Would they hurt her?
Nangong Shulan felt genuinely terrified at the thought.
She herself had difficulty accepting her daughter’s repeated changes, how could she expect others to accept it?
Thankfully, she was there to help her daughter this time. She would explain to others that her daughter’s changes were due to meeting many people outside.
Thus, her personality and knowledge had expanded.
Hopefully, no one would have any suspicions.
Nangong Shulan sighed and touched her daughter’s head, “My child, how many calamities must you go through? No matter who you become, in my heart, you will always be my daughter.
I’ve known about your extraordinary nature since you were very young.
I just never imagined that each time, it would put your life at risk, as if you are changing with your life..”
