Chapter 1041 - I’m Speaking the Truth

Clearly, Chi Jiao didn’t take Shen Xing’s words to heart at all. She just thought that Shen Xing was joking.

Shen Xing was very unconvinced by this. “I’m speaking the truth. Look at how careful that police officer was just now. It’s just a small matter of calling you to keep you informed, but he had to ask for your permission. He behaved like a timid boy.”

“Aren’t you thinking too much?” Chi Jiao looked at it suspiciously. She felt that Shen Xing was just spouting nonsense.

“Of course not! You have to believe me!” Shen Xing straightened its neck and said seriously.

Chi Jiao smiled and rubbed Shen Xing’s little head. “Don’t think about such nonsense all day. Children should be quiet and obedient. Let’s go back. Don’t make Auntie wait.”

Chi Jiao didn’t take Shen Xing’s words to heart at all. She held Shen Xing’s hand and left the washroom.

As Chi Jiao walked, the little heart’s voice sounded in her mind.

“Phew… I slept so well,” the little heart said in a lazy and satisfied tone.

Chi Jiao used her mind to communicate with the little heart. “You finally woke up? You slept for a week.”

The little heart and the third stone didn’t fuse perfectly. Therefore, a week ago, the little heart had discussed with Chi Jiao that it wanted to sleep for a period of time to further facilitate the fusion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chi Jiao agreed to let the little heart sleep, but she didn’t expect it to take seven whole days.

The little heart laughed in embarrassment before hurriedly saying to her, “But I have now completely fused with Number Three. From now on, we’re one.”

“That’s good. We just need to find the fourth stone. Little heart, you’ve recovered some of your strength. Can you find the last stone?” Chi Jiao asked expectantly.

“The final stone is the most special one among all the others. It’s called the Heart of Time. It’s… very special. I’m not confident of finding it with my powers,” the little heart said worriedly.

Chi Jiao could hear the little heart’s worry, so she comforted it. “You have just fused with the third stone, so don’t be too anxious yet. I’ll go find Auntie and get some snacks. I’ll buy you a piece of cake then, okay?”

When the little heart heard that there would be delicious food, it immediately forgot about everything else and demanded excitedly. “Strawberry cake! Strawberry cake!”

Chi Jiao couldn’t help chuckling. “Alright, I’ll buy you strawberry cake.”

Chi Jiao heard the little heart’s ecstatic cheers in her mind, causing her heart to soften.

She held Shen Xing’s hand and returned to the shop.

Lu Xian had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the two of them return, she finally relaxed and asked, “Why were you gone for so long? I was so worried.”

“Shen Xing had a stomachache, so we were in the washroom for some time.” Chi Jiao squeezed Shen Xing’s hand tightly. “Right, Shen Xing?”
