Ming Yuexuan was also woken up. She opened her eyes groggily and found Li Qiyu holding the bedside lamp and shining it at her.
"Xiaoyu? Why are you up so early? What are you doing with a lamp?"
Looking out of the window, it was just dawn.
"Who are you? Why are you in my bed?"
Hearing Li Qiyu's words, Ming Yuexuan instantly woke up. "Wow, Xiaoyu, we promised to be best friends for life. How could you forget your best friend?"
After an explanation, Li Qiyu understood that this was the close friend Song Jiaye had mentioned yesterday, the one who could answer her questions.
Ming Yuexuan looked at Li Qiyu, full of questions herself.
"I didn't believe Song Jiaye, that scumbag, when he said you lost your memory. I thought it was just a new trick you came up with to deal with that scumbag. I didn't expect it to be true."
Ming Yuexuan felt quite regretful, but this regret only lasted for a few seconds before she bounced back to life.
"Forgetting is not a bad thing. It's a fresh start without any burdens."
Li Qiyu asked blankly, "What is a scumbag?"
"A scumbag is a cold - hearted and selfish man like Song Jiaye. He's the dregs of society, useless, a waste. He should be thrown away like trash."
The words "thrown away like trash" and "waste" really hit home with Li Qiyu.
She didn't know much about the modern - day Song Jiaye, so she wouldn't comment for now. But the Song Jiaye from the ancient times was indeed someone to be discarded, and the sooner, the better.
Li Qiyu nodded vigorously.
"Yes, yes, he should be thrown away."
Hearing Li Qiyu say this, Ming Yuexuan was extremely surprised. She looked at Li Qiyu and said, "Xiaoyu, Song Jiaye said on the phone that you lost your memory and became stupid. But I don't think so. You've clearly become smarter. You finally know to leave that scumbag Song Jiaye."
Ming Yuexuan sighed, "Back then, I tried so hard to persuade you to divorce Song Jiaye, but you just wouldn't listen. You even said that even if you went to hell, you'd go with Song Jiaye. I even thought at that time that Song Jiaye must have put a curse on you to make you so devoted."
"Put a curse?" Li Qiyu panicked when she heard this. "Did Song Jiaye put a curse on me?"
She had heard about this kind of thing when she was fighting with her father in the Bashu region. It was said that the mountain people there were good at raising curses. They would put five poisonous creatures in a jar and let them fight each other. The one that survived in the end was the king of curses.
There were also mother - and - child curses. If the child curse was planted in a person's body, the cursed person would have to obey the orders of the caster.
Hearing that she might be cursed, Li Qiyu was extremely panicked. She quickly checked her own body.
Ming Yuexuan said, "Yes. You used to do a lot of crazy things for him and even drove yourself crazy. If it wasn't a curse, what else could it be? You've finally escaped from the苦海. Be more careful in the future."
Li Qiyu felt extremely uneasy.
A curse. This thing could kill people.
She had to find Song Jiaye and get rid of the curse.
Suddenly, a mechanical female voice sounded in the room.
"Good morning. This is Xiaoyu's morning news broadcast."
Li Qiyu's worry instantly turned into joy. She shouted at the air, "Xiaoyu, you're here!"
"Hey, Xiaoyu is here."
"Xiaoyu, I miss you."
"Xiaoyu misses the master too."
Watching Li Qiyu chatting so affectionately with a smart voice robot, Ming Yuexuan was on the verge of collapse.
She even said that Song Jiaye was reserved last night. It turned out that the reserved one was actually her own sister.
She had underestimated her.
Sister Liu finished making breakfast and called the two of them to get up. By this time, Li Tong and Song Jiaye had already gotten up. Li Tong was trying to bargain with Song Jiaye about the breakfast.
"Uncle - in - law, can I not eat carrots?"
"No."
At this time, Sister Liu advised from the side, "Tongtong, be good. Eating more carrots will make you smart."
"Big aunt isn't smart either. Why doesn't she have to eat carrots?"
Li Qiyu, who was accidentally caught in the cross - fire: "..."
Li Qiyu and Ming Yuexuan took their seats. Thinking about the curse, Li Qiyu was extremely uneasy. Seeing Song Jiaye finish breakfast and about to get up to go to work, she chased after him and blocked him at the entrance.
"Song Jiaye, I have something to tell you." Li Qiyu was very serious.
Song Jiaye was affected by her and also became serious. "What is it?"
"Can you take out the curse you put in my body?"
Li Qiyu said this very seriously, but what kind of curse could a man put in a woman's body? This sounded inappropriate.
Song Jiaye's face instantly turned red. What was Li Qiyu talking about so early in the morning?
Then he thought something was wrong. Didn't Li Qiyu lose her memory? Could it be that last night when Ming Yuexuan came over and the two sisters had a heart - to - heart talk, she regained her memory?
"Li Qiyu, are you back to normal?"
Li Qiyu looked very innocent when asked this question. "I've always been normal."
Seeing that Song Jiaye didn't answer her directly, she felt very uncomfortable.
"Song Jiaye, I'm serious. Didn't we agree to separate after half a year? Why did you put a curse on me? Can't we just part on good terms?"
"Who said I put a curse on you?"
"Mingyuexuan said so. She said it was because you put a curse on me that I became crazy about you and went insane. I don't want to be a crazy person anymore."
Every word Li Qiyu said made Song Jiaye feel extremely guilty.
He didn't know what Li Qiyu was trying to do by saying these things to him so early in the morning. Was she flirting with him like before? Or was she secretly mocking him?
But Song Jiaye knew that with Li Qiyu's current mental state, she couldn't say such things.
He walked back into the house and said to Ming Yuexuan, "She doesn't understand anything now. Don't teach her to say strange things."
Ming Yuexuan was completely confused by the scolding. She stared blankly at Song Jiaye as he rushed out of the door, then looked at Li Qiyu with a depressed expression.
"What did you say to him?"
"Asked him to remove the curse for me."
"Remove the curse?"
"Yes. Didn't you say he put a curse on me? Then I must ask him to remove it."
Ming Yuexuan was momentarily speechless. "I was just..." Forget it. It was too complicated to explain in a few words. She banged her head against the wall in frustration. "Heaven! How smart Xiaoyu used to be. Now she's become a fool."
"Yes." Li Qiyu agreed. "People who are cursed will eventually become fools."
She had seen many such people when she was in the Shu region with her father.
Ming Yuexuan: "..."
In the car, Song Jiaye's mind was also in turmoil.
The image of Li Qiyu seriously saying, "Can you take out the curse you put in my body?" kept echoing in his mind. He couldn't get it out.
Song Jiaye had to admit that for a moment, he was indeed blushing, his heart racing, and he was attracted to Li Qiyu.
