Reborn in the 80s: My Whole Family Secretly Hears My Thoughts and Goes Wild with Success! - Chapter 161

So comfortable, so warm.

It felt just like soaking in a hot spring.

When Ya Ya opened her eyes, she found herself actually lying in a pool of spring water.

The water was shimmering with flowing light and colors, exactly like the colorful cloud she had seen earlier.

“Where is this?”

“Your sea of consciousness.”

“Who’s speaking?”

“Me.”

A small cat jumped down from the crabapple tree beside the spring. It was the very same colorful cloud-like kitten Ya Ya had seen before.

“Who are you?”

“I am your guardian spirit.” The colorful cloud kitten jumped onto Ya Ya and nuzzled her little cheek.

Ya Ya’s eyes widened in surprise: “Oh my! Your eyes look exactly like Little Demon’s!”

The colorful cloud kitten lifted its tiny chin, its proud expression uncannily similar to Huo Jiusi’s: “You’ll understand someday.”

“Do you have a name?”

Ya Ya reached out and stroked the colorful cloud kitten. She was surprised to find she could move freely here. She hugged the kitten tightly and rubbed its little belly. The kitten purred: “Not yet. You can give me one.”

“Hmm, you smell like popcorn.”

Ya Ya lowered her head and sniffed the kitten’s belly, her eyes lighting up: “How about Hua Hua?”

“Hua Hua, Hua Hua, you’re even prettier than a flower.” Ya Ya held Hua Hua close, planting several kisses on its head: “From now on, your name is Hua Hua, okay?”

“Alright.” It seemed quite satisfied with this name.

Ya Ya lay on her back, letting Hua Hua rest on her chest. She gently stroked Hua Hua’s fur: “Can I understand animals because of you, Hua Hua?”

“Yes.” Hua Hua licked Ya Ya’s little hand: “That’s my gift to you. Do you like it?”

“I love it.” Ya Ya laughed happily: “I get to hear so much gossip! Otherwise, my days would just be eating and sleeping, and I’d be bored to death.”

“Hua Hua, will you always be here? How can I come find you?”

Ya Ya sat up and noticed that apart from the spring and the crabapple tree, everything else was shrouded in mist, impossible to see clearly.

“You can come find me whenever you think of me.”

Hua Hua let out a yawn, curled into a ball, and nestled on Ya Ya’s stomach: “Before, your sea of consciousness hadn’t been opened, so you couldn’t see me.”

Ya Ya also yawned. She lay back down, holding Hua Hua tightly: “This is wonderful. I have another playmate now.”

Ya Ya unknowingly fell asleep. She slept for a very long time, only waking up after they had returned home from the mountain.

Her family had been extremely worried. Seeing Ya Ya open her eyes, they all gathered around.

Yue Guohuai picked Ya Ya up, pressing his cheek against hers: “Ya Ya, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

Ya Ya shook her head. She didn’t feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, she felt extremely good.

“Sweetie, if you feel unwell, you must tell Grandpa, okay? You gave Grandpa quite a scare.”

Ya Ya reached up and gently touched Yue Guohuai’s face, her eyes curving into happy crescents as she smiled, signaling him not to worry.

Yue Guohuai grinned back: “As long as our sweetie is okay, Grandpa is relieved.”

If Ya Ya hadn’t woken up soon, he would have taken the guards and rushed to Yunsheng Temple to apprehend Taoist Master Qingfeng.

“Our sweetie is one hundred days old today.”

Wan Jiayin touched Ya Ya’s little face. She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but the vermilion dot in the center of Ya Ya’s brow seemed brighter than before.

Typically, such marks would gradually fade and wash off with water, but the one on Ya Ya’s forehead had remained perfectly intact.

The family members had all prepared gifts for Ya Ya’s hundredth day. Ya Ya loved every single one of them.

“Mom, you said we could take Ya Ya to the zoo to see the pandas after she turns one hundred days old. Let’s go tomorrow.” Qin Feng tugged at Yue Minghui’s hand, pleading.

He had been thinking about this constantly. In the meantime, he had saved up even more pocket money, planning to buy Ya Ya a panda backpack at the zoo.

Yue Minghui crouched down to meet Qin Feng’s eye level and explained patiently: “It’s been too hot these past few days. We might get heatstroke if we go. Let’s wait until after the start of autumn when it’s cooler. We’ll definitely go before school starts, okay?”

“Would Ya Ya get heatstroke too?” Qin Feng turned to look at Ya Ya.

“Ya Ya is still little and gets sick more easily.”

Qin Feng immediately said: “Then let’s wait until it’s cooler to go.”

“Xiao Feng is so sensible.” Yue Minghui rubbed Qin Feng’s head and gave him a thumbs-up: “You’re really acting like a big brother.”

“Brother Xiao Xin, Brother Xiao Hui, let’s all go together then, okay?” Qin Feng invited Yue Youxin and Yue Youhui.

“Okay!” Yue Youxin and Yue Youhui agreed.

After her long sleep, Ya Ya was extremely hungry and drank almost half a bottle more milk than usual.

She wasn’t sleepy anymore and played for a long time.

After all the family members had left, and only she and Huo Jiusi remained, Ya Ya wrestled with whether she should tell Huo Jiusi about Hua Hua.

“Ya Ya, during Taoist Master’s ritual, did you see anything?” Huo Jiusi held Ya Ya’s little hand.

[Did you see something?]

Huo Jiusi shook his head: “I didn’t see anything, but I felt that you did.”

He had been watching Ya Ya closely and noticed her expression change. Plus, her falling asleep seemed strange.

Ya Ya’s body clock was very precise. After waking up, she would usually stay awake for over two hours before sleeping again. She had just woken up before they arrived at Yunsheng Temple, so she shouldn’t have fallen asleep again so quickly.

After thinking for a moment, Ya Ya decided to tell Huo Jiusi about Hua Hua.

“So it’s not just me who has a guardian spirit.”

[Little Demon, you have a guardian spirit too?] Ya Ya shook their clasped hands vigorously.

“Yes, I’ve had one since I was very young too. And actually, I have two.”

“One is my family’s totem, the wolf. The other is the moon.”

Huo Jiusi wasn’t sure about the moon, but he had indeed seen both.

[Did you also see them in your sea of consciousness?]

“Yes, once when I was very sick, critically ill, I saw them in a daze.”

But his vision wasn’t as clear as Ya Ya’s, and he couldn’t touch them.

What he saw were very blurry shadows, but he was sure they weren’t hallucinations; they existed.

He survived that crisis because they saved him.

But after that, he never saw them again. He didn’t know if they had disappeared or simply didn’t want to see him.

[Little Demon, wow, we’re the same!]

Ya Ya was very excited. She had been especially afraid that Huo Jiusi would see her as a freak if she told him.

“Ya Ya, don’t tell anyone else about this,” Huo Jiusi warned Ya Ya. “And you’re the only person I’ve told.”

He hadn’t even told his father or his grandfather about seeing guardian spirits.

Ya Ya nodded: [I know.]

[If I told others, they wouldn’t believe me and would think I’m crazy.]

If she told her family, they wouldn’t think that, but she was worried she might scare them.

Now that there were many more stray cats and dogs around the house, she thought her family had probably guessed it was because of her.
