Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1616: Chapter 1610: Straightforward Chapter 1616: Chapter 1610: Straightforward “So they didn’t say anything about taking the child back?” Ye Li didn’t know why he asked this, but when he heard the child wasn’t with the parents, he felt a bit uncomfortable, so he asked.

“They’ll come and take them back when they’re done, and besides, you don’t have to take them, so why are you asking about this?” Qin Jiale thought Ye Li’s question was really strange.

“Just asking casually. Doesn’t the child cry at your house?” Ye Li thought about how when he left his mother, he couldn’t adapt for a long time, and his brother still felt guilty about it to this day.

“They came back during the New Year, so they didn’t cry.” Qin Jiale didn’t pay attention to what Ye Li meant by asking this, but she felt a little uncomfortable after hearing it. She unexpectedly felt a pang of sympathy. This feeling was so strange.

“I see.” Ye Li didn’t ask further.

“Ye Li, why are you overthinking this? I believe Lele’s sister will come to pick up the child soon.” Ye Zishu obviously understood what Ye Li meant.

But she also didn’t know how to explain it well to Ye Li. Sometimes, certain things can’t be resolved just by outsiders talking about them.

When her aunt went missing, she was also very young, and the later events were only things her parents told her about. After their family moved here, they hadn’t gone back to the Imperial Capital, and they weren’t really sure how things were there now.

“Shushu, are you really familiar with that odd guy?” Qin Jiale asked Ye Zishu quietly after Ye Li had walked a bit farther.

“Pretty familiar, why?” Ye Zishu asked Qin Jiale, wondering if she didn’t even know this.

If that was the case, she really wondered how Qin Jiale had been getting through the year, not knowing anything.

“Don’t you think he’s a bit weird?” Qin Jiale looked up at Ye Li, then said to Ye Zishu.

“I don’t think so. Isn’t he totally normal? What’s weird about him?” Ye Zishu looked at Ye Li ahead, thinking he seemed like a perfectly normal person.

“Why can’t I get through to you? If he isn’t weird, how weird does someone have to be?” Qin Jiale felt like she couldn’t communicate with Ye Zishu.

“He’s not weird; he just experienced some things when he was young, that’s all. So that’s why he’s like this. Don’t worry, his body is completely normal, and so is his mind, I promise.” Ye Zishu was afraid Qin Jiale wouldn’t believe her, so she reached out to make a pledge.

“Alright, I trust you. But why is the homeroom teacher coming to my house? Can you tell me what’s going on? Did I do something wrong, and that’s why the teacher’s coming to see my parents?” Qin Jiale was still worried about whether she had done something wrong. She wasn’t afraid of making mistakes herself; she feared her family might be upset.

She didn’t want her issues to affect her parents. If there were problems, she’d carry the burden herself, so she wouldn’t feel particularly guilty about it.

“No, why would you think that? He really just came with us. He was just worried about us young kids coming by ourselves, so he accompanied us.” Ye Zishu looked at Qin Jiale, amused and helpless. It seemed she indeed didn’t understand the relationship among them.

Logically, she had already explained so clearly before, so she should have known what was going on. But she still hadn’t figured out the mystery, which showed that her skills were mainly academic; in everyday matters, she could be a bit clueless.

If it wasn’t spelled out for her, she’d still ask them. Such a confused version of Qin Jiale was something they had never witnessed before. But wasn’t such a version of her quite adorable?
