Chapter 95 - 95: Mo Qi (1)
After clearing the table, Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia went to Mo Qi.
The temperature in the room was high. Lin Sijia had already helped Mo Qi take off a few pieces of her clothes. Ye Xingchen frowned and took a few steps back. Mo Qi smelled like garbage fermented in a hot and humid environment.
Ye Xingchen rummaged through his space. He didn’t know what size the child in front of him should wear, so he took out a long T-shirt and placed it on the stool.
“Thank you for your hard work, Little Jia. Take her to get a shower.”
Ye Xingchen didn’t want to release her bound hands and feet for the time being.
Lin Sijia carried Mo Qi into the bathroom. Ye Xingchen watched half of the movie in the living room before Lin Sijia carried Mo Qi out.
She hadn’t woken up yet, but at least she was clean.
Oversized clothes were put on Mo Qi’s body, and she was tied up in a strange position.
“Is there a way to wake her up?”
Ye Xingchen looked up at Lin Sijia. “She also has a superpower. She said that as long as I’m willing to take her in, she’s willing to listen to all my orders.”
Lin Sijia shook her head and nodded. “She should be waking up soon. I’ll try my best to probe her thoughts later.”
Mo Qi woke up slowly. The long-term hunger and Ye Xingchen’s knock on her head made her dizzy. The sudden warmth made her feel like she was dreaming.
When she woke up, she first closed her eyes and breathed in big mouthfuls of air. She had not breathed in big mouthfuls like this since the apocalypse. After all, the weather outside was too cold, and the air in her lungs was freezing.
After a moment of absent-mindedness, she felt uncomfortable all over. Her hands and feet were a little numb, and she could not use any strength.
Just now, in order to prevent Mo Qi from attacking her, Ye Xingchen had asked Lin Sijia to give her an anesthetic.
“What is this place? Is it heaven? Am I dead?”
Mo Qi blinked her eyes, her face visibly happy.
“It’s too early to be happy. You didn’t die. If you want to die, you should have said so earlier. I’ll throw you out right now.”
Ye Xingchen replied indifferently. At this time, Mo Qi turned her head and stared at Ye Xingchen in disbelief.
“Is this your house? Did you bring me back? Are you going to take me in? Oh no, I mean, are you going to adopt me? I’m very capable! As long as you give me something to eat, 1’11 listen to you!”
Mo Qi followed Ye Xingchen’s gaze to the bottom of the coffee table. There were many snacks that Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia usually ate when they watched movies and TV dramas. Many of them had already been opened.
Swallowing her saliva, Mo Qi raised her head, her eyes full of pleading. “Can I have a bite? Just one bite.”
Ye Xingchen thought for a moment and nodded, indicating that Lin Sijia could feed her a biscuit.
“Go interrogate her.”
Ye Xingchen took out a small box of pills from his space and put one in Lin Sijia’s hand. “Put this in her mouth and have her eat it.”
Ye Xingchen had bought this thing when he was stockpiling supplies. It seemed to be a new pill developed by the pharmaceutical company. It was called the Obedient Pill, but it was still in the experimental stage and hadn’t been put into mass use yet. According to his friend, this was developed for the police to use in interrogating criminals.
Ye Xingchen thought that this thing might still be useful, so he spent a few bundles of cash to buy more than ten boxes.
It wasn’t much, but it was enough.
Lin Sijia brought a glass of water and put the pill in Mo Qi’s mouth. Mo Qi hesitated for a moment, but still opened her mouth and swallowed the pill.
Swallowing the pill with water, Mo Yan licked her dry lips and said, “Can I have another glass of this water? I haven’t drunk this kind of normal water in a long time.”
She carefully placed the biscuit in her mouth. She didn’t want to chew it, so she used her saliva to melt the biscuit bit by bit.
“Why are you so happy to eat poison?” Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows and leaned back on the sofa.
Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, but then she looked relieved. “Is it poison? It’s good that it’s poison. Thank you. It’s better to be poisoned to death than to starve to death. You’re really a good person!”
Ye Xingchen was a little stunned. Mo Qi’s reaction was different from what he had imagined. If an ordinary person was told that he had been poisoned, it would be rare for him not to curse on the spot. Yet Mo Qi actually thanked him.
Without waiting for Ye Xingchen to ask, Mo Qi started talking. “Hello, my name is Mo Qi.”
“I’m an orphan. The name was given to me by the mother of the orphanage director who picked me up.”
“I’m not from here, but I don’t know why I was thrown over there the moment 1 opened my eyes.”
Mo Qi looked at Ye Xingchen with gratitude in her eyes. “I saw you a few times over there. I felt that you were a good person, so I came to try my luck and ask if you could take me in.”
Mo Qi wanted to use her ability again, but she remembered that she was tied up and couldn’t exert any strength.
Lin Sijia fed her another glass of water. Mo Qi licked her lips. “Since I’m going to die, can I make a request that’s a little overboard?”
Mo Qi blinked her eyes. When she didn’t get a response, she said, “Can I have two more of those biscuits? It’s so delicious.”
Ye Xingchen didn’t pay attention to her, but Lin Sijia looked at Ye Xingchen and found that Ye Xingchen didn’t object. Then she took two biscuits and gave them to Mo Qi.
“Thank you. You’re really a good person!”
Mocky held the two biscuits in her mouth and nibbled on them bit by bit, like a little hamster.
Ye Xingchen looked down at the time on his phone. For a moment, no one said anything.
Fifteen minutes of silence passed. Ye Xingchen slowly raised his head and thought to himself that the medicine had taken effect.
“Let me ask you, what is your name?”
Mo Qi, who was happily eating the biscuit just now, suddenly looked dull. The half-eaten biscuit in her mouth fell to the ground. “Mo Qi.”
“Who sent you? Who are you? What is your motive?”
It was also Lin Sijia’s first time seeing such a scene. She was stunned for a moment and quickly walked to Ye Xingchen’s side to sit down.
“No one sent me here. I wanted to come here myself. I grew up in an orphanage. My goal was to eat chocolate bars, after I saw you conjure so many chocolate bars that day.”
Ye Xingchen frowned. He had never used this medicine before. This was the first time he tried it. He couldn’t find any fault with Mo Qi’s words, but it was too coincidental..
