Chapter 1849 It’s All Her (Third Update)

The servants in the old house are very familiar with Ruan Qi and know that she is the future mistress of the Xi family. Therefore, Ruan Qi's arrival was not hindered by anything and was as casual as returning home.

Ruan Qi just didn't want to attract everyone's attention. She greeted the servants in the lobby on the first floor in a low-key manner, and then went to the third floor quietly.

Xi Jiu's bedroom is on the third floor.

Ruan Qi opened the door of his bedroom, recalled the sketch book he saw in this room last time, and walked straight to the bookshelf leaning against the wall.

She opened the middle drawer of the bookshelf. There were several books and a box of colored pencils for drawing in the drawer. Ruan Qi opened them, and underneath the books and colored pencils was the sketchbook she had seen before!

Xi Jiu once said that this sketchbook was used for entertainment in his spare time, and it was filled with his works.

Ruan Qi happened to open this book in this bedroom last time, but before she could see the paintings inside clearly, she was interrupted by Duan Wei. She only briefly saw a little girl drawn on the first page of the sketchbook, which seemed to be her when she was a child.

At that time, Ruan Qi was still wondering why Xi Jiu knew what she looked like as a child. Thinking about it now, she was so stupid that she could ignore such obvious clues.

Ruan Qi took out the sketchbook from the drawer.

She looked at the yellowed cover of the book, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

Then he gently opened the cover with trembling fingers.

The first page that catches the eye is a line of words written with a sketch pen——

【Where are you? 】

Three simple words, one stroke at a time, look particularly lonely on a huge piece of paper.

Ruan Qi's eye circles suddenly turned red.

She lightly brushed the three words with her cold fingertips, paused for a moment, and opened the second page.

——A little girl sketched with pencil appears on the paper.

Curved peach blossom eyes, cute sunflower hairband, white dress, and the unique tear mole in the corner of the eye.

No one knows this girl better than Ruan Qi.

That was her when she was nine years old!

Ruan Qi's tears instantly blurred her vision.

Due to age, the drawing paper in the sketchbook has turned yellow, and the pencil lines used for drawing have also faded a little. But even so, the little girl in the painting is still lifelike, with her movements, eyes, and smiles full of aura.

Such a vivid painting can only be painted by someone with countless strong emotions and thoughts.

Tears fell on the sketchbook one by one.

Ruan Qi turned the drawing paper back.

It's her, it's all her, the whole book is all about her.

She wears a sunflower hairband, she holds a lollipop and calls Brother Bingshan with a smile, she sits in the small courtyard of the fishing village and tells stories to Brother Bingshan... Page after page, picture after picture, Xi Jiu used countless thoughts to outline all the days they lived in the small fishing village.

Ruan Qi couldn't bear it anymore, squatted down, hugged the sketchbook and cried silently.

She was immersed in endless sadness and distress, and did not hear the rapid footsteps outside the bedroom at all.

The footsteps are getting closer and closer, hurried and messy, and the rhythmless steps can tell how anxious the walkers are.

The next second, the bedroom door was slammed open.

"Baby!"

Xi Jiu saw Ruan Qi squatting in front of the bookshelf, her heart seemed to be pinched, and her face changed in pain.

He didn't care to close the door tightly, flicked the door panel and walked quickly to Ruan Qi.

Seeing the little girl huddled on the ground, Xi Jiu felt very distressed. He knelt down, raised his hands, and carefully took her into his arms.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

Ruan Qi couldn't stop crying.

She felt extremely sorry for Xi Jiu who had been waiting alone for ten years. When she saw him right in front of her, she couldn't help it anymore and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

Because of this action, the sketchbook in Ruan Qi's arms fell to the ground with a clatter.

Xi Jiu looked over subconsciously. When he saw the book on the ground, his expression suddenly changed.

"Baby……"

"I saw the drawings in the sketchbook!" Ruan Qi interrupted him with tears, "You are Brother Bingshan, right? You once lay in a hospital bed as a vegetative state for two years to protect me from being unconscious. Jiu Jiu, I know everything! I know everything!"

The little girl cried louder and louder, and her crying voice became hoarse.

Xi Jiu didn't have time to think about how she knew, and all she could think about was his love and concern for the little girl.

He hugged her tightly: "Baby, when did you know? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you dizzy? Do you feel scared?"

This memory of Brother Bingshan involves Ruan Qi being arrested and taken to Xiaoyaozhuang. Xi Jiu was worried that her spirit would be stimulated, so she kept asking nervously.

Ruan Qi felt the man's concern for her and couldn't help crying even harder.

"Why do you only care about me and not yourself? You were drowned in the river back then. Jiujiu, does it hurt? Let me look at your head."

Ruan Qi touched the back of Xi Jiu's head while crying.

In order to protect Ruan Qi, Xi Jiu pinned her down. In order to snatch Ruan Qi away, the people from Xiaoyaozhuang inhumanely hit Xi Jiu on the back of the head seven or eight times with rocks.

They hit it so hard, it must have left scars.

Ruan Qi touched the back of Xi Jiu's head, and then felt a long scar near his neck.

The scar extends from the top of the neck to near the right ear. Fortunately, Xi Jiu's thick hair was able to cover up such a long scar.

Ruan Qi touched the scar, and tears overflowed from her red and swollen eyes.

Xi Jiu doesn't have a scarred constitution. This scar has been around for ten years, and the scar has actually recovered to some extent.

But Ruan Qi touched the shallow mark, and what she thought of was how painful it must have been for Xi Jiu when she was hit on the head.

She asked with a trembling voice: "Jiujiu, were you in pain at that time?"

"It's okay." Xi Jiu pulled her hand off the back of his head and kissed her fingertips gently. "At that time, I was only focused on saving you and didn't feel any pain. Later, they threw me into the river and I fell into coma. When I woke up again, it was already two years later. I was unconscious for those two years, so I didn’t suffer much."

What Xi Jiu said was true.

He did fall into a coma soon after he was sunk into the river. When he was found and sent to the hospital, he suffered from double lung infection and severe head injuries, and he was completely unconscious.

It's just that he didn't know everything during the two years he was in a vegetative state. He could hear sounds from the outside world, and he could feel the injections the doctor gave him. Not only that, his brain can also think when he is in a vegetative state, just like the living dead.

The two years when I could think but couldn't move were actually very difficult. He was worried about Ruan Qi and Mr. Xi. He wanted to try hard to wake up, but his eyelids were as heavy as a stone and he couldn't open them.

Xi Jiu worked hard for two full years before she opened her eyes again.

Ruan Xiaoqi cried for three chapters today.
