Reborn in the 80s: My Whole Family Secretly Hears My Thoughts and Goes Wild with Success! - Chapter 27

“Yes.”

“You might feel a bit uncomfortable during takeoff and landing, and there will be some turbulence when encountering air currents.”

“It’s a completely different experience from riding in a car—you’ll only understand the difference once you’ve tried it yourself.”

“I’ve never seen Chang’e or the Monkey King, but I have seen little birds and rainbows.”

[Huh? Is the little devil leaving? Yay!]

[He’ll be gone for years, right? Hehe!]

Yaya excitedly shook her tiny fists, grinning from ear to ear. But the next second, she couldn’t help but sigh quietly.

[It’s just sad that Grandpa Huo kept waiting for him and never got to see him before he passed away. The old man left this world full of regrets. Sigh—]

Yaya’s inner thoughts made Huo Jiusi’s mind flash to the final moments of his grandfather’s life.

Lying on the hospital bed, without a single loved one by his side.

His eyes remained fixed on the door, hoping to see his grandson walk in—but as time passed, only despair and regret remained.

With a soft sigh, his grandfather whispered, “In the end… he never came back.”

Muttering “Jiusi” over and over, he slowly closed his eyes.

Just imagining it made Huo Jiusi’s heart ache. Gripping his water glass tightly, he instantly changed his earlier decision.

He would go back and find the best doctors for his grandfather. After that, he would stay by his side.

He would never let that imagined scene become reality!

“Yaya.” Huo Jiusi returned to the little bed and called her name.

Immediately, Yaya tensed up in full alert. She knew this tone of his all too well.

Every time he called her like this, he wanted to groom her fur.

Even though she was now human and had no fur left, the little devil must still be up to no good.

Stay away! Stay away!

Yaya clenched her tiny fists and shook them vigorously at Huo Jiusi, warning him not to come closer.

But she didn’t realize how utterly unthreatening she looked—instead, she was unbearably adorable.

Huo Jiusi couldn’t help but chuckle, taking her little fist in his hand and pressing a kiss to it. “Thank you, Yaya.”

So… so pretty!

The little devil’s smile was absolutely dazzling~

Yaya felt dizzy, unconsciously smiling back—even giggling out loud.

It reminded her of the first time she had ever seen him.

That day, she had been napping on the crabapple tree in Grandpa Huo’s yard when she heard the gate open. Looking up, she saw an incredibly handsome teenager walking in with a suitcase.

A breeze swept past, sending crabapple petals fluttering down around him like snow.

Under the sunlight, his blue-violet eyes shimmered like gemstones—or like the clear, deep waters of a mountain lake from fairy tales.

That single glance had seared the boy’s image into her memory.

But reality often strayed far from imagination. Who would’ve thought that beneath such a beautiful face lay not an angel, but a devil?

Ah, she had been so young and naive, unable to tell good from bad.

Only now did Yaya snap out of it, realizing what Huo Jiusi had just done. Her whole being short-circuited.

But someone else was even more upset—Qin Feng.

His eyes widened as he pointed at Huo Jiusi, both shocked and indignant. “How could you kiss Yaya?!”

“Why can’t I?” Huo Jiusi blinked, confused. “I like Yaya, so I kissed her. What’s wrong with that?”

“I’ve never kissed Yaya!” Qin Feng thumped his chest emphatically. “And I’m her brother!”

“My parents told me that even between siblings, boys shouldn’t just kiss girls—it’s impolite!”

He glared at Huo Jiusi. “Apologize to me and Yaya!”

“Yaya, I’m sorry.” Huo Jiusi’s tone was sincere.

He knew his actions had been improper, but he didn’t regret them—in fact, he’d quite enjoyed it.

His apology wasn’t out of remorse, but because he didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Yaya. Worse yet, he feared she might avoid him in the future.

“Just saying ‘sorry’ isn’t enough!”

Ling Hang, trying to prevent Huo Jiusi from getting punched by Yue Mingyuan, quickly nudged him and hinted, “An apology needs sincerity, got it?”

Huo Jiusi was sharp. He understood Ling Hang’s meaning and nodded slightly. After a moment of thought, he took off the jade pendant he wore around his neck and pressed it into Yaya’s tiny hand.

“Yaya, this is my gift to you—to celebrate your arrival in this beautiful world.”

Since Yaya couldn’t speak and her hand was trapped in his, she had no way to refuse.

Next, Ling Hang pulled out a golden locket and placed it on Yaya, gently shaking her other hand.

“Yaya, this is from your godfather~”

[Godfather? Godfather!]

[So my godfather is this handsome?!]

Ling Hang kept his smile steady, but internally, he was panicking.

Whose voice is that?!

They always said hospitals had strange things lurking around—had he actually run into one?

[When did Godfather’s accident happen? Ugh, why can’t I remember?!]

Yaya waved her little fists anxiously.

Both Ling Hang and Huo Jiusi noticed, but since Huo Jiusi couldn’t hear her thoughts, he had no idea what was troubling her.

Ling Hang, however, short-circuited completely. He had a suspicion about whose voice that was—but that only made it more terrifying.

[No, no, I have to remember! I can’t let Godfather get hurt again. The state he was in… it was horrible!]

[Godfather is a hero, and heroes are good people. Good people deserve happy endings!]

Ling Hang’s fear shifted into touched curiosity.

She’s talking about me, right? Definitely me.

After all, aside from me, who else around Yue Mingyuan is this good-looking?

But Yaya said he’d meet with disaster—what kind of disaster?

[I remember now! It’s a week from now, during his mission!]

[But how do I tell him that their informant betrayed them? That the intel was fake, and the criminals had already set up an ambush?]

[They trusted that informant completely, so of course they walked right into the trap. Everyone died except Godfather—and he was captured and tortured for days.]

[Later, Dad led a team to rescue him, but by then, Godfather was barely human anymore… Wuwuwu, Godfather suffered so much.]

Back then, she had still been a wandering spirit, inexplicably bound to her father’s side.

The state her godfather was in had scared even her, a ghost.

Later, she came across a saying: “The world isn’t peaceful—it’s just that someone is carrying the weight for you.”

Her father, her godfather… they were all burden bearers.

For now, she couldn’t do much for them—but she wanted them to be safe. They deserved to be safe.

Ling Hang absorbed Yaya’s thoughts, his expression turning grave.

If what she said was true, he needed to prepare in advance.

And the first step was to investigate whether that informant was really a traitor.
