Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 526 Xiao Ai’s happy and sad day
  The two people who thought they would never see each other again had such a magical reunion. There is so much to say.
  Akemi looked at Shiho with tears in her eyes. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was smiling or crying. Her hand slowly reached towards Shiho, her fingers trembling, as if she was still doubting whether this was true.

"Shiho..." Mingmei's voice trembled, and she was 100% sure that the girl in front of her was the sister in her memory.
  The emotions between the two are like lights swaying in the wind, weak yet firm.

Her hand finally touched Shiho's shoulder, cold and real. At that moment, Mingmei's heart seemed to be washed by a soft drizzle. Sadness, joy, pain, and relief were intertwined together. Her tears flowed down uncontrollably, sliding hot down her pale cheeks.

"Sister..." Shiho was also in tears. She raised her hand and carefully held Mingmei's face, her hands shaking slightly as she cried. This was the moment she had dreamed of, but with a cruel reality. They finally meet again, but that carefree day has become a thing of the past.

The two looked at each other and cried, crying out all their longing and endless pain. They hugged each other tightly, like two children lost in the night. Only each other's body temperature let them know that they were no longer alone.

Akemi's hand gently stroked Shiho's back, and the corners of her lips twitched, as if she wanted to say something, but she was unable to say it. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then gently whispered in Shiho's ear: "Shiho, we finally meet again."

When Shiho heard these words, the dam in her heart collapsed completely. She hugged Akemi tightly and let tears fall like rain. Her heart beat so hard that it seemed like it wanted to jump out of her chest.

At that moment, time seemed to stop.

  After the sisters recognized each other, the two hugged each other and cried for a long time, so that by the time Mingmei thought about lunch, it was already close to two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Okay Shiho, it's time for me to go downstairs and prepare lunch."

For some reason, Mingmei felt that her child-like sister was also cute.

"Well, let me help my sister too."

It happened that Xiao Ai, who had not eaten for a day, also felt the desire for food in her heart, so she reluctantly loosened her arms, got out of Mingmei's arms and walked out of bed.

Mingmei was slightly surprised and then smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together." After that, she took Xiao Ai's hand and walked downstairs.

Seeing Mary alone in the living room, she apologized, "I'm sorry I forgot to make lunch."

"It's okay. I ate too much in the morning and I'm not very hungry." After saying that, Mary looked at Xiao Ai and said with a smile, "I'm worried that Xiao Ai didn't eat anything all day."

As soon as she went to the second floor, she heard the crying of the two sisters. Although it was not very loud, it was heartbreaking.

She could completely imagine how the two of them were feeling, so she sat here and watched TV in silence all afternoon without saying a word.

Akemi nodded and noticed that Fujiwara Hoshikai seemed to be absent, so she asked curiously, "Is Fujiwara-kun out?"

After Mary raised the remote control and changed the channel, she turned around and said to Mingmei:
  "Well, he went out with his brother and might not come back until tonight."

Not long after Mingmei went upstairs, Fujiwara received a phone call. Although Mary didn't know the content of the conversation, the voice on the phone sounded a bit like the high school student who often came to Fujiwara before.

"That's it." Mingmei took Xiao Ai's hand and thought for a while, then walked into the kitchen at her sister's urging.
  Soon after the two entered, Mary also turned off the TV and leaned on the sofa to start thinking about how she should talk to Mingmei about Xiuichi. Should she mention it proactively or wait until she asks herself, or wait until the situation improves before contacting her son and other family members.

But this thing was so bizarre that even Mary didn't believe that such a thing would happen. It's a pity that her memory has not been fully recovered yet. It seems that she can only wait slowly.
  Xiao Ai, who was in a good mood after lunch, decided to rest with her sister for the day and wait until tomorrow to do the antidote experiment.

The three of them sat in the living room and watched TV. A documentary about the African grasslands was playing on the TV.

Xiao Ai leaned lazily on the sofa, half of her body leaning in Mingmei's arms, while her other hand gently rubbed Mary's shoulder.

"That squirrel is so cute," Akemi smiled while stroking her sister's hair.

Xiao Ai enjoyed her sister's comfort and took a deep breath of happiness. The warm scene she had fantasized about countless times in her dreams seemed to have come true.

The TV is showing a documentary about the rainforest trip. Wild animals are shuttled through the dense woods, full of life. Xiao Ai's eyes followed the pictures on the TV, and her eyes gradually became softer. A little squirrel shuttles between huge tree roots, constantly looking for food, and then returns to its nest. Although its life is difficult, it is still tenacious and happy.

The corners of Xiao Ai's eyes rose slightly. She held Mingmei's hand tightly and patted her belly gently with her other hand.

Her mood gradually changed from depression to happiness. The unspeakable depression and loneliness dissipated at this moment, replaced by an inexplicable joy. She seemed to see her own shadow, walking out of the darkness and embracing life again.

The scene on the TV screen suddenly turned tense. Under the tree roots by the lake, an emerald green snake quietly appeared. Its body meandered among the branches and leaves, and its green skin blended perfectly with the surrounding environment. Its eyes were bright, staring at the ignorant squirrel, and the dangerous atmosphere made people feel suffocated.

Xiao Ai's eyes widened, her hand held Mingmei's hand tightly, and the other hand was pressed tightly against her heart, as if to grasp some sense of security.

The host who was dubbing at this time said in a very generous but gentle voice, "Emerald snakes live in the Amazon tropical forests all year round. They are light and natural hunters. Their teeth contain neurotoxins, and they are stared at." The prey they eat usually becomes their lunch."

The host's words undoubtedly awakened Haiyuan Ai's sensitive nerves that had been sleeping for a long time. Her heart beat like a snare drum. The tense atmosphere made her feel like she was the squirrel being targeted by a snake.
  Mingmei looked at her sister's nervous expression, and her heart began to lift. She gently held Xiao Ai's hand, trying to give her some comfort. Her eyes were fixed on the TV screen, and the tense atmosphere made it impossible for her to look away.

Mary, who was sitting aside, was very calm, her eyes were calm, and she seemed not to care about the situation on TV. Her fingers tapped lightly on the sofa in a lively rhythm, as if she didn't care about the life and death fight that followed.

In this tense atmosphere, the green snake on TV suddenly pounced on the squirrel. However, at this critical moment, the little squirrel seemed to be aware of the danger. It jumped from the root of the tree at an alarming speed. Toward another tree. The emerald green snake pounced in vain, and could only retract its body helplessly. It reluctantly vomited the message and then slowly twisted its body and climbed to a higher place.

“…the squirrel is fine”

Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief, her body began to relax, and her hand no longer held Mingmei's hand tightly. A smile finally appeared on her face. Although it was still a little stiff, it was much better than before.

When Mingmei saw Xiao Ai's smile, she also breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a touch of warmth in her heart. She hugged Xiao Ai gently, and then looked at Mary, their eyes meeting in the air.
  "He's so lucky."

Hearing Mary's comment, Akemi smiled softly, after all, Shiho was praying for it just now.
