Chapter 1256: Chapter 1231: The Box of Memories Opens

Ye Chen didn’t mind this sort of thing at all; he thought it was nothing, just that Zhou Susu and the others were making a fuss over it.

"Hmm, it’s a good sign." Ye Chen said with a smile.

Saying this, he walked inside, followed by Zhou Susu and the young male police officer.

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s voice, Little Jing quickly ran out of the room. For some reason, she found Ye Chen very familiar.

Seeing the girl running towards him with a big smile, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Little Jing, your big brother is visiting you."

Little Jing nodded and took Ye Chen’s hand with her small one, leading him inside.

Since Ye Chen left yesterday, she had been hoping he would return.

In the room, she kept wondering whether the big brother would come to see her again, and sure enough, Ye Chen did come.

Zhou Susu followed, pretending to be upset, saying, "Little Jing, you little rascal, you’ve become indifferent to your sister now that you have a brother, haven’t you?"

Indeed, she felt a little jealous inside, but seeing Little Jing more lively and cheerful than before made her genuinely happy.

Little Jing was very considerate; fearing Zhou Susu might be angry, she hurriedly hugged Zhou Susu tightly.

Since the incident, it was Zhou Susu who stayed by her side day and night, telling her stories, keeping her company.

She didn’t want Zhou Susu to feel sad because of it, as she was very fond of her.

Zhou Susu knew that Little Jing couldn’t speak and could only express her emotions and attitude towards others through body language.

"Alright, alright, I’m just teasing. It’s great that you have a big brother accompanying you now; I’m happy for you." Zhou Susu gently patted Little Jing’s little head and said warmly.

Little Jing smiled, took Zhou Susu’s hand in one of hers, Ye Chen’s in the other, and placed them together.

This sudden action caught Zhou Susu and Ye Chen off guard, and Zhou Susu’s face turned as red as an apple, looking quite adorable.

But Ye Chen shrugged it off nonchalantly.

He looked at Little Jing curiously, surprised at how perceptive she was to see Ye Chen and Zhou Susu as a couple.

Ye Chen wondered what was going on in this little one’s mind, she really was quite sharp for her age.

"Little Jing, you little rascal, see if your sister doesn’t scold you." Ye Chen said while withdrawing his hand from hers.

Being alone with Ye Chen made her blush, let alone having coworkers and Little Jing around.

The young male cop was initially stunned at the scene before him and quickly said, "Captain Zhou, I swear I didn’t see anything!"

He knew Zhou Susu’s temper and getting caught at this moment meant trouble.

He felt unlucky, thinking he shouldn’t have stumbled upon this moment.

Initially, he intended to bring water for Zhou Susu and Ye Chen, and just happened to witness the scene when he reached the door.

Zhou Susu also thought the timing for delivering water was off, wishing he hadn’t delivered it now.

"Zhang Qiang." Zhou Susu glared at the young male officer with her beautiful eyes.

The male officer quickly stood at attention, shouting, "Yes."

Whenever Zhou Susu called his name, it never meant anything good, and this time was no exception.

"Why are you so nervous? I won’t eat you up. Come, I need to talk to you," Zhou Susu said with a smile.

Then she took Zhang Qiang out of the room.

Just as they stepped out, Zhou Susu breathed a long sigh, the situation indeed felt too awkward.

But Zhou Susu wasn’t going to blame Zhang Qiang; instead, she looked at the tense-looking young officer and burst into laughter.

Zhang Qiang didn’t expect Zhou Susu to smile at him instead of blaming him.

A woman in love seemed to be a completely different person.

Ye Chen didn’t stop Zhou Susu from leaving for two reasons: one, he knew the girl was shy; two, it wasn’t convenient to communicate with Little Jing while Zhou Susu was around.

Watching Zhou Susu leave, Ye Chen gently tapped Little Jing’s forehead, saying, "You mischievous little one, see, you made your sister shy." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Rather than being upset, Little Jing joyfully leaped into Ye Chen’s arms.

Looking at the little one in his arms, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, thinking this little one could have no ill motives.

Little Jing liked Zhou Susu and Ye Chen and wanted them together, unaware that the big brother and big sister were already a couple.

"Alright, alright, let’s see what gift I brought for you," Ye Chen said while pulling a small bear from the bag.

Little Jing was delighted when she saw it, her hands clapping continuously.

For some reason, when Little Jing saw the bear, she felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

Ye Chen noticed the complex expression on Little Jing’s face and understood why.

Because Little Jing also had an identical bear; however, due to the incident, her memory had deteriorated.

She couldn’t remember things related to her, her mind a blank slate, and many things couldn’t be recalled.

"Little Jing, do you like this bear?" Ye Chen pointed to the furry bear as he asked.

Little Jing nodded, lovingly holding the bear in her arms.

Seeing the girl’s actions, Ye Chen knew this method was working; her memory was gradually awakening.

After the incident, Little Jing’s psyche suffered greatly, and she closed off her heart.

Originally, Little Jing was a lively and active girl, though unable to speak, her parents’ affection kept her very optimistic, and she loved to smile.

Once the incident happened, Little Jing lost her closer ones, and no one could care for her as her parents did; the fear within her made her somewhat melancholy.

Ye Chen knew solving the case didn’t rely on searching for so-called evidence at the scene but on obtaining clues from Little Jing.

This was something Zhou Susu never considered, nor had she ever thought about it.

Little Jing held the bear, her face lighting up with a long-lost smile—that was genuine joy.

Ye Chen played with Little Jing and the bear for a while, both of them enjoying themselves immensely.

If they directly asked Little Jing about the incident, she might not be able to handle it, perhaps even backfiring.

Ye Chen knew they needed to approach this slowly, letting Little Jing recall past events while playing.

As the minutes passed, Little Jing was having a great time when suddenly her eyes widened, staring at the bear with a hint of sadness.

Ye Chen knew she must have remembered something.
