He Zhou was even more displeased.
What did she mean by that? Was she complaining that he hadn’t taken good care of He Xiaoguo, so she made Xiaoguo cry?
“No need. I’ll just take Xiaoguo out.”
He didn’t want to stay here to block her heart. That should be fine, right?
However, He Jing walked up to him and picked up He Xiaoguo, who was holding his hand. She let him wrap his arms around her neck and said, “Xiaoguo, you wanted to come to the secret chamber yourself. Are you going to quit just because you’re afraid? If that’s the case, Xiaoguo will never become a man.”
“But, Sis, I’m scared,” He Xiaoguo sniffled and barely stopped crying.
“It’s because you’re afraid that you have to overcome it bravely. If the girl you like encounters a ghost one day, are you going to abandon her and run away?” He Jing’s gentle voice carried some kind of calming power that spread in the secret chamber. It had an unparalleled magic that made people involuntarily become stronger. No one said anything and listened to her slowly. “And these ghosts are all disguised by the staff. If the lights are turned on, they look like us. Chairman Mao said that all feudal superstitions should be eliminated. After death, people will turn into soil and flowers, not ghosts.”
“Are you afraid of ghosts, Sis?” He Xiaoguo asked.
“I’m scared too.” He Jing rubbed his head. “But with Xiaoguo around, I’m not afraid anymore.”
“Why?”
“Because I know Xiaoguo will protect me! ”
“I know that no matter what danger we encounter, Xiaoguo will never leave me behind, right?” He Jing asked gently, her eyes curved.
He Xiaoguo hugged He Jing’s neck tightly and suddenly buried her face in He Jing’s shoulder. As he sought a sense of security, he said, “Yes, I’m a man. I can’t abandon Sister. I won’t cry anymore. I want to become a flower with Sister.”
He Jing patted him on the back and chuckled softly. “If a ghost appears again later, hold me tight. As long as I’m here, I won’t let Xiaoguo get hurt.”
He Xiaoguo nodded heavily. He snuggled in He Jing’s arms and didn’t say anything else.
The scene calmed down. Everyone looked at each other with complicated feelings. They couldn’t even take care of themselves. They were all more afraid than the last. He Jing was able to spare some effort to comfort a child and calm everyone’s emotions. She was too gentle and too strong.
On the other hand, they could not solve the mystery or help. They were useless.
It was too frustrating.
When Cheng Yi saw the situation, she felt that things were not looking good. She quickly said, “Xiaoguo, why don’t I carry you? Sister He Jing will be tired if she carries you.”
He Xiaoguo stayed in He Jing’s arms and refused to come down. Without even looking up, he said, “No, Sister Xiao Yi was screaming louder than I was just now. You’ll throw me out if you see a ghost later.”
Cheng Yi’s expression froze, and it was very ugly. Shen Qiuyu did not forget to follow suit and step on him. “That’s right. I’m going deaf from being called.
Don’t be like Sister Jing.”
Cheng Yi couldn’t control herself. She turned around and called out with tears in her eyes.
He Zhou had yet to recover from He Jing’s performance. He Yi quickly changed the topic. “It’s been three minutes. Let’s continue solving the riddle.”
This time, no one had any objections and continued to search for clues on the surrounding walls.
Yan Hanxi moved to He Jing’s side and pulled He Xiaoguo out of her arms. With a smile on his lips, he said in an ambiguous tone, “Men should stay with men.
Don’t be so timid and cry. I’ll play with you..”
