Lu Yi Feng decided to bring Xiao Xi Xi along with him to the office. He could take care of her and when he was unavailable, Lin San would be there to help him take care of her. It would be safer for Xiao Xi Xi to be surrounded by the people that she was familiar with."You can stay with me in my office... Mommy will be busy with her lessons and several meetings today, so it would be better if you are with me. How is that sound?" Lu Yi Feng offered.
Xiao Xi Xi clapped her hands happily. "Thank you, Daddy! I feel safe around you too!" As long as she was with her daddy or mommy, it didn"t matter to her. Both of them were her most favorite people ah~!
Of course, Lu Yi Feng was happy when he heard that. It meant that the little girl had trusted him and it was his honor. Feng Xiao Qing knew that the problem had finally been solved so she asked them to talk while having breakfast so that they wouldn"t waste time. The other two readily agreed because they felt hungry as well.
Xiao Xi Xi suddenly asked out of nowhere when they were eating, "Daddy... Is having a nightmare... your only symptom? Nothing else?" There was a curious look in her eyes.
Lu Yi Feng looked at her in surprise, "Why? Do you have another symptom as well?!" He was sure that the little girl didn"t know about his allergic reaction so there was only one other explanation --- she had another symptom as well.
Lu Yi Feng"s words directly admitted that the nightmare wasn"t the only symptom that he had and Xiao Xi Xi quickly understood that point. She honestly admitted, "Yes, I have." Xiao Xi Xi didn"t think that she would be able to find another person who had gone through the same experience just like her, honestly, she felt amazed! In a sense, she felt grateful that it was her daddy so it was easier for her to open up.
A little girl"s mind was simple... it was easier for her to open up to her most trusted person.
Feng Xiao Qing asked her in surprise, "What? Do you really have another symptom? How come Mommy doesn"t know that?"
Xiao Xi Xi looked at her with a wry smile, "I just didn"t want to make you worried about me even more..."
Feng Xiao Qing felt that her heart had been pierced. She felt guilty for not noticing an abnormality in her behavior --- it felt like she was a failure as a mother. "What... What kind of symptom?" She asked, feeling curious as well.
Xiao Xi Xi looked at her daddy and said, "I will tell you but Daddy... you have to promise that you will tell me too!"
Lu Yi Feng sighed. It was hard for him to tell Feng Xiao Qing and yet, he had to tell the little girl as well. However, for the sake of making Xiao Xi Xi totally cured, he could only tell her. "Fine... I will tell you later..." Lu Yi Feng finally decided.
"I... I... Whenever I met an old woman around the age of the one that abused me before and especially with similar appearances, I subconsciously feel afraid and turn silent, in the end, I will agree to whatever that she wants me to do..." Xiao Xi Xi explained in a low voice while looking down.
She didn"t tell her mommy because she knew how busy her mommy was and besides, she didn"t remember anything about her trauma back then. She just thought that it was a fluke, after all, she rarely interacted with old women. She explained everything to Feng Xiao Qing slowly.
"Is that why you follow that cleaning service personnel obediently?" Feng Xiao Qing asked. No wonder... Xiao Xi Xi always knew that she shouldn"t follow a stranger but this time, she behaved out of character. She didn"t dare to ask her about it because she was afraid that it would trigger Xiao Xi Xi"s nightmare again --- she wanted to give her some time to adjust her mindset but she would never guess that she had this kind of reason.
Feng Xiao Qing really blamed herself. If she knew this matter earlier, Xiao Xi Xi wouldn"t blindly follow that old woman --- she could make a preparation beforehand! Lu Yi Feng was surprised as well and knew that he needed to talk to Tang Yi Jun about Xiao Xi Xi"s matter so Tang Yo Jun would know what to expect when he met with Xiao Xi Xi later.
"Yes, Mommy... I"m sorry for making you worry. Honestly, it"s not your fault... so stop blaming yourself. It"s my own fault..." Xiao Xi Xi wholeheartedly apologized. She remembered that her mommy"s body was trembling when she finally found and hugged her yesterday. She must have been scared as well.
Then, Feng Xiao Qing remembered something. "Why didn"t you afraid of grandmother back then?" If she didn"t get it wrong, she was the same age as those old women --- but indeed, Zhang Li looked a lot younger because she took care of her beauty and health carefully.
"You mean... daddy"s mother?" Xiao Xi Xi asked.
"Yes..."
"Because she"s so pretty and nice ah~! The old woman that abused had an unkempt appearance... it"s so different from my grandmother who is so beautiful!" Xiao Xi Xi said with a smile.
Feng Xiao Qing and Lu Yi Feng nodded in understanding.
Lu Yi Feng patted Xiao Xi Xi"s head. "Xiao Xi Xi... you seem to be stronger than Daddy when Daddy was around your age... At least, you dare to tell your mommy. But Daddy... until now, Daddy"s mother still doesn"t know about daddy"s symptoms..." He honestly admitted to them.
Feng Xiao Qing looked at Lu Yi Feng in surprise. Huh? Auntie didn"t know about this matter?! Then... who would comfort him when his allergy was being triggered? Or when he had a nightmare? If there was no Xiao Xi Xi, she would hug him just to give him a little bit of warmth.
