After Ye Xingchen finished his meal, Lin Sijia put down her bowl and chopsticks.
After clearing the table, Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia went to Mo Qi.
The temperature in the room was high. Lin Sijia had already helped Mo Qi take off a few pieces of her clothes. Ye Xingchen frowned and took a few steps back. Mo Qi smelled like garbage fermented in a hot and humid environment.
Ye Xingchen rummaged through his space. He didnât know what size the child in front of him should wear, so he took out a long T-shirt and placed it on the stool.
âThank you for your hard work, Little Jia. Take her to get a shower.â
Ye Xingchen didnât want to release her bound hands and feet for the time being.
Lin Sijia carried Mo Qi into the bathroom. Ye Xingchen watched half of the movie in the living room before Lin Sijia carried Mo Qi out.
She hadnât woken up yet, but at least she was clean.
Oversized clothes were put on Mo Qiâs body, and she was tied up in a strange position.
âIs there a way to wake her up?â
Ye Xingchen looked up at Lin Sijia. âShe also has a superpower. She said that as long as Iâm willing to take her in, sheâs willing to listen to all my orders.â
Lin Sijia shook her head and nodded. âShe should be waking up soon. Iâll try my best to probe her thoughts later.â
Mo Qi woke up slowly. The long-term hunger and Ye Xingchenâs knock on her head made her dizzy. The sudden warmth made her feel like she was dreaming.
When she woke up, she first closed her eyes and breathed in big mouthfuls of air. She had not breathed in big mouthfuls like this since the apocalypse. After all, the weather outside was too cold, and the air in her lungs was freezing.
After a moment of absent-mindedness, she felt uncomfortable all over. Her hands and feet were a little numb, and she could not use any strength.
Just now, in order to prevent Mo Qi from attacking her, Ye Xingchen had asked Lin Sijia to give her an anesthetic.
âWhat is this place? Is it heaven? Am I dead?â
Mo Qi blinked her eyes, her face visibly happy.
âItâs too early to be happy. You didnât die. If you want to die, you should have said so earlier. Iâll throw you out right now.â
Ye Xingchen replied indifferently. At this time, Mo Qi turned her head and stared at Ye Xingchen in disbelief.
âIs this your house? Did you bring me back? Are you going to take me in? Oh no, I mean, are you going to adopt me? Iâm very capable! As long as you give me something to eat, 1â11 listen to you!â
Mo Qi followed Ye Xingchenâs gaze to the bottom of the coffee table. There were many snacks that Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia usually ate when they watched movies and TV dramas. Many of them had already been opened.
Swallowing her saliva, Mo Qi raised her head, her eyes full of pleading. âCan I have a bite? Just one bite.â
Ye Xingchen thought for a moment and nodded, indicating that Lin Sijia could feed her a biscuit.
âGo interrogate her.â
Ye Xingchen took out a small box of pills from his space and put one in Lin Sijiaâs hand. âPut this in her mouth and have her eat it.â
Ye Xingchen had bought this thing when he was stockpiling supplies. It seemed to be a new pill developed by the pharmaceutical company. It was called the Obedient Pill, but it was still in the experimental stage and hadnât been put into mass use yet. According to his friend, this was developed for the police to use in interrogating criminals.
Ye Xingchen thought that this thing might still be useful, so he spent a few bundles of cash to buy more than ten boxes.
It wasnât much, but it was enough.
Lin Sijia brought a glass of water and put the pill in Mo Qiâs mouth. Mo Qi hesitated for a moment, but still opened her mouth and swallowed the pill.
Swallowing the pill with water, Mo Yan licked her dry lips and said, âCan I have another glass of this water? I havenât drunk this kind of normal water in a long time.â
She carefully placed the biscuit in her mouth. She didnât want to chew it, so she used her saliva to melt the biscuit bit by bit.
âWhy are you so happy to eat poison?â Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows and leaned back on the sofa.
Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, but then she looked relieved. âIs it poison? Itâs good that itâs poison. Thank you. Itâs better to be poisoned to death than to starve to death. Youâre really a good person!â
Ye Xingchen was a little stunned. Mo Qiâs reaction was different from what he had imagined. If an ordinary person was told that he had been poisoned, it would be rare for him not to curse on the spot. Yet Mo Qi actually thanked him.
Without waiting for Ye Xingchen to ask, Mo Qi started talking. âHello, my name is Mo Qi.â
âIâm an orphan. The name was given to me by the mother of the orphanage director who picked me up.â
âIâm not from here, but I donât know why I was thrown over there the moment 1 opened my eyes.â
Mo Qi looked at Ye Xingchen with gratitude in her eyes. âI saw you a few times over there. I felt that you were a good person, so I came to try my luck and ask if you could take me in.â
Mo Qi wanted to use her ability again, but she remembered that she was tied up and couldnât exert any strength.
Lin Sijia fed her another glass of water. Mo Qi licked her lips. âSince Iâm going to die, can I make a request thatâs a little overboard?â
Mo Qi blinked her eyes. When she didnât get a response, she said, âCan I have two more of those biscuits? Itâs so delicious.â
Ye Xingchen didnât pay attention to her, but Lin Sijia looked at Ye Xingchen and found that Ye Xingchen didnât object. Then she took two biscuits and gave them to Mo Qi.
âThank you. Youâre really a good person!â
Mocky held the two biscuits in her mouth and nibbled on them bit by bit, like a little hamster.
Ye Xingchen looked down at the time on his phone. For a moment, no one said anything.
Fifteen minutes of silence passed. Ye Xingchen slowly raised his head and thought to himself that the medicine had taken effect.
âLet me ask you, what is your name?â
Mo Qi, who was happily eating the biscuit just now, suddenly looked dull. The half-eaten biscuit in her mouth fell to the ground. âMo Qi.â
âWho sent you? Who are you? What is your motive?â
It was also Lin Sijiaâs first time seeing such a scene. She was stunned for a moment and quickly walked to Ye Xingchenâs side to sit down.
âNo one sent me here. I wanted to come here myself. I grew up in an orphanage. My goal was to eat chocolate bars, after I saw you conjure so many chocolate bars that day.â
Ye Xingchen frowned. He had never used this medicine before. This was the first time he tried it. He couldnât find any fault with Mo Qiâs words, but it was too coincidental..
