Chapter 54: Problem Child

  "Why don't you think of your sister when you have nightmares at night?" I asked him with a smile, full of careful consideration, afraid to stir up his terrible memories again.

  His smiling face stiffened for a moment, and he shuddered involuntarily, saying: "Sister, I always dream of being trampled by horses. Can... can you save me?"

  It was indeed the horse carriage incident that left a shadow in his heart. I comforted him in a gentle tone, "Sister has always been by your side." He looked at me with a mixture of trust and doubt, seemingly suspicious.

  I nervously wiped away my sweat, this kid is really not easy to deceive. I composed myself and couldn't help but say: "Didn't you say that your sister was a fairy sister? A fairy sister would naturally be able to protect you, right?"

  Wei Zifu thought for a moment and forced herself to say: "But sister is not by my side, Zifu, Zifu still feels..."

  I smiled and said: "Sister, there's also a big brother at home who is sick. A god should help many people, not just stay by his own wife's side, right?"

  He thought for a moment, seeming to brighten up: "Sister is right, Mother, I am a man and shouldn't be afraid."

  I was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Right, Zifu is indeed the most awesome guy."

  He smiled and was about to break free from me: "Since you're a man, you should walk on your own."

  I smiled and put him down, his small hand holding mine, we walked all the way to the garden below. At this time, the sunlight had not completely shone here, so the delicate shadows were scattered all over the ground, which was very beautiful.

  Wei Zifu and I sat down together in a flower garden, and in the quietness, he suddenly asked me: "Sister, who are you after all? Are you Guanyin or one of the Seven Fairies?"

  I was taken aback and didn't answer immediately. He asked again in a shrill voice, "Who are you? Are you sent by heaven to take care of Zifu?"

  I turned my head to look at the solitary flower cluster under the slanting morning light, muttering to myself: "Who am I?" Is it Su Su? Song Er's wife? Or that Su girl who is waiting for Yi Qian Xun to appear?

  For a moment, my mind was in a mess, I muttered to myself: "Yes! Who am I? I don't know who I am either." I turned my head and looked at him with a bewildered smile, saying: "I don't know who I am." He seemed to be startled by my smile, staring blankly at me.
