Chapter 697: Chapter 697

Sun Yong and Guo Lirong felt a sense of unreality.

Their daughter had passed away several years ago, and now she was abruptly appearing before them.

This caused a mental confusion and trance for them.

The beads Guo Lirong was stringing fell into the bamboo sieve without her realizing it.

Seeing them dazed and silent.

Dou Dou was the first to become impatient and asked directly: "Hey, Meiqi’s parents, aren’t you happy to see Sister Mei Qi?"

Only then did Sun Yong and Guo Lirong come back to their senses.

"Mei Qi?" Guo Lirong called out, sounding both surprised and delighted.

"Mom~" Guo Meiqi called softly.

Her lips trembled slightly, her face full of grievance, wanting to cry but trying hard to squeeze out a smile.

Sun Yong put down what he was holding, wiped his hands on his apron, and walked toward Sun Meiqi.

His steps were somewhat unsteady, one high and one low, floating lightly.

When he reached his daughter, he reached out to touch her cheek.

But his hand paused halfway, because he was afraid it was a dream, a bubble, that would burst at a touch.

Sun Meiqi raised her neck, calling out pitifully.

Seeing his daughter’s pitiful appearance, Sun Yong’s heart instantly broke.

The hand hanging in midair fell, gently stroking the innocent face before him.

It was so real, this made Sun Yong extremely excited.

"Qiqi, Daddy... Daddy misses you so much." Sun Yong choked with emotion, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Daddy, your hands are so fishy, they smell bad," Sun Meiqi said.

He was skewering meat, so his hands naturally smelled fishy.

Sun Yong burst into laughter, but tears still flowed down his cheeks, though he didn’t take his hand away.

At this moment, Guo Lirong suddenly rushed up from behind.

She pulled Sun Meiqi over, her eyes wide, taking a close look before hugging her tightly, sobbing loudly.

"Baby, Mommy misses you to death." Guo Lirong cried so hard she was almost suffocating.

When Guo Lirong cried, Sun Meiqi cried too.

Every ghost lingering in the Mortal World has people worth holding onto. Sun Yong and Guo Lirong are the kind of people who deeply, deeply love their children. Otherwise, Sun Meiqi wouldn’t be unwilling to leave and stay by their side.

Hearing their mother’s cries, Sun Siqi pouted and also burst into loud sobs.

Sun Yong quietly wiped tears from the side, feeling a bit at a loss about what to do.

Dou Dou pouted on the side.

Then she turned her gaze to Sun Meiqi’s younger brother.

She found the little boy being chased by a chicken quite amusing.

So she walked straight over, stood in front of Sun Siqi with her hands on her hips, and said, "Hey, kid, stop crying; your wailing is annoying."

She happened to block Sun Siqi’s view of his parents, causing the little guy to kick his little legs and slide to the side.

Dou Dou grabbed his baby walker.

"Don’t run, play with me."

Saying so, she reached out and patted the fluffy hair clip on Sun Siqi’s head.

The little guy stopped crying, tears in his eyes, looking at her curiously.

"Call me sister," Dou Dou said excitedly.

"Mama~" Sun Siqi said.

"You dummy, it’s sister, not mama, mama..." Dou Dou corrected.

"Ah~" Sun Siqi grinned, showing a smile.

"Oh, you little rascal, I’m telling you to call me sister, not me call you mama..."

Dou Dou reached out to pinch his little cheek, hmm? Something seemed off.

"Baba~" Sun Siqi said.

"It’s sister, sister..."

Dou Dou began to get a little agitated. How come this kid just couldn’t learn?

So Dou Dou kept rubbing the child’s chubby cheek, squishing it flat and round, so smooth and soft, hehe...

She could only bully such a young child who couldn’t walk yet; dealing with someone a bit older like Tang Tang, she’d go head to head.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind.

Dou Dou was startled, quickly retracting her "guilty" little hands.

Turning around, she saw Meiqi’s parents standing behind her, looking at her with puzzled expressions.

And Sun Meiqi, held in her father’s arms.

"I’m Dou Dou." Dou Dou quietly hid her hands behind her back.

Guo Lirong reached out to take her son from the baby walker, looked at Sun Meiqi in her father’s arms, then asked, "Are you a friend of our Qiqi?"

Dou Dou quickly nodded and then said, "Hello, Meiqi’s parents, I... I wasn’t bullying my brother, I was playing with him."

Sun Yong and his wife naturally wouldn’t get angry over such a small matter with a child.

Instead, they smiled and said, "Thank you for playing with our little brother."

"Please have a seat, you’re welcome at our home, auntie will get you something tasty," Guo Lirong warmly invited.

The couple still hadn’t figured out what was happening, but they politely welcomed Dou Dou anyway, simply because she was their daughter’s friend.

Dou Dou shook her head at their words and then said, "I’m a ghost, I can’t eat food. I need to go find Potato, goodbye, Sister Mei Qi."

She waved at Sun Meiqi.

"Oh, you head back first; I’ll find you later." Sun Meiqi also waved back.

Then Dou Dou vanished before the couple, leaving only a gust of wind swirling up to the sky. This update ıs available on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵

The couple didn’t know what to say for a moment, their faces bewildered.

In fact, Sun Yong had a vague suspicion in his heart, because holding his daughter in his arms, he felt no weight at all, like holding a paper, which gave rise to many guesses in his mind.

Seeing Dou Dou leave, Sun Meiqi struggled to get down from Sun Yong’s arms, and he quickly set her down.

Once on the ground, Sun Meiqi looked at her father with a complex expression, then turned to her mother, and finally fixed her gaze on her little brother, being held in her mother’s arms.

"Sister, hehe..." Sun Siqi opened his arms, wanting a hug.

The little guy seemed to recognize his sister; after all, when he fell that day, it was his sister who saved him.

Sun Meiqi, surprised and delighted, reached out to hug him.

"You can call me sister?"

Guo Lirong hesitated and then handed over her son.

Sun Meiqi held him, joyfully saying, "Call me sister."

"It’s sister," Sun Meiqi said gently.

Sun Meiqi was overjoyed to hear that, excitedly saying to Guo Lirong who was standing beside her: "Mom, my brother can call me sister now."

"Yes, isn’t your brother adorable? You two must get along well and love each other," Guo Lirong said.

Sun Meiqi paused at her mother’s words, tears welling up in her eyes.

She reached out to hand over Sun Siqi: "Here for you."

Guo Lirong quickly took him, a bit anxious, asking: "What’s wrong, did Mommy say something wrong?"

Not asking was fine, but when she did, Sun Meiqi burst into tears.
