My Mysterious Doctor and Blessed Little Wife Is Such a Tease - Chapter 445
445 Four
Qin Xi picked up the teacup and took a sip. She said calmly, “I know you won’t believe me if I tell you this secret. How about this? Let’s talk about you first.”
“Talk about me? What about me?” Chu Xia was very puzzled.
She could feel that Qin Xi did not have any ill intentions, so she listened to Qin Xi patiently.
“How about we talk about your life?” Qin Xi put down her teacup with a smile and stared at Chu Xia. Chu Xia did not respond, but she did not stop her from continuing.

“Mrs. Wen, your mother died early and your father married someone else. You were ostracized everywhere. Although you lived a rich life, you were never happy. In the end, you were forced to marry a man you didn’t love, and this man never took you seriously.”
Every word Qin Xi said hurt Chu Xia like a knife. However, she did not show it. Instead, she smiled calmly with no sadness or joy in her eyes.
“Miss, if you’re here to humiliate me and rub salt in my wounds, there’s no need. This is useless. It won’t hurt me at all.”
Qin Xi chuckled, revealing her canine teeth. “Rub salt? That’s not necessary. Mrs. Wen, do you still remember that you saved someone when you were young, a boy two years older than you?”
Chu Xia was stunned. She tried her best to recall this memory and shook her head. “I don’t remember. I was still young at that time and couldn’t remember much.”
In fact, that was not the case. She was often abused in the Chu family. Not only was she covered in wounds, but no one would notice if she fell sick. It was not easy for her to survive under such circumstances. How could she have the ability to save others?
Qin Xi raised her eyebrows. “It’s fine. I have a way to help you remember the past. However, I might need you to go through all the sad things in the past. Do you want it?”
“Remember the past?” Chu Xia muttered to herself. She lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.
“Alright, please close your eyes and try your best to think about the boy who was once saved by you.”
Chu Xia subconsciously did as she was told. As she closed her eyes, Qin Xi flicked her finger and a Dream Talisman entered Chu Xia’s mind, instantly pulling out her long-forgotten memories.
One winter morning, Chu Xia, who was only six years old, was tricked by her stepsister to go to a small park. She waited for two hours but did not see her stepsister. At that time, she did not know that her stepsister was lying to her. She was trembling from the cold for hours. Just as she was about to go back, she saw a dirty boy lying on the ground helplessly.
The little boy was wearing tattered cotton clothes. His body was covered in dirt, and his face was pale and thin. When he saw someone coming, he opened his eyes weakly, but his vision was blurry. However, he still said with difficulty, “Hungry…”
Seeing this, Chu Xia quickly took out a few pieces of chocolate candy from her pocket. Her granduncle had given them to her. It was said that they were imported from foreign country. She couldn’t bear to eat it. She planned to give them to her stepsister, but she couldn’t find her.
She opened the candy wrapper with her frozen hand and put the chocolate into the little boy’s mouth.
The little boy subconsciously opened his mouth, and the sweetness in his mouth spread. He, who had never eaten candy in his life, seemed to have entered heaven. His frozen mouth trembled as he asked, “What’s… your name?”
“Chu Xia, my name is Chu Xia. What about you?”
Chu Xia smiled sweetly. Her face, which was red from the cold wind, was like the bright sun that shone into the little boy’s heart. It was at that moment that the little boy engraved Chu Xia’s name into his soul.
“My name is Four!”
