Panda Cub – Chapter 59.2

Jing Li He Yuan

Jing Dan turned back and reassured, “I’ll let you hold me later!”

He Ying: “…”

She held this panda cub, unsure whether to laugh or not. Looking at Jing Dan’s mother’s wistful gaze, she felt a mix of satisfaction and embarrassment.

Jing Li looked at Jing Dan quietly, it really is true that having a daughter-in-law makes one forget about their own mother. As far as she knew, when they were recording the program, weren’t they together every day? How come they’re not tired of each other yet! The mother and daughter haven’t seen each other for so long, doesn’t she feel happy?!

However, Jing Dan had no idea what her mother was thinking. She was in He Ying’s arms, pointing to the apples on the table with her paws, saying she wanted to eat.

She wanted to eat, and He Ying did not refuse. She took the apple, carried Jing Dan, and went into the kitchen together.

After the two of them had left, Jing Shiyue lowered her voice and asked Jing Li, “How is it? Is it okay?”

At this point, Jing Li no longer had the bright and bold demeanor she had just now, she appeared more serious. She nodded and said, “The child is good, it just depends on whether she will always be so good to Zaizai.”

Regarding this issue, Jing Shiyue didn’t have too many doubts. If He Ying still couldn’t consistently treat Jing Dan well, then perhaps there would be no one else who could make them feel more at ease.

He Ying was washing apples, and one hand was not convenient to wash. She was just about to put Jing Dan aside when unexpectedly, Jing Dan stretched out both paws and hooked onto her neck, hanging there and unwilling to come down.

He Ying felt her neck heavy: “…” She really wasn’t afraid of hurting her neck.

She smiled gently, letting her be like that. After washing the apples with both hands, she wiped off the water stains with a paper towel, then carried Jing Dan back outside.

The situation between the two of them in the kitchen was clear to the people outside, and their expressions became somewhat complex. Especially when their gaze fell on Jing Dan, it became even more so.

You are so dependent on others, you still don’t understand your own thoughts clearly. This way, you will really make them feel that their education has failed!

Jing Shiyue lowered her head and covered her head, never before had she regretted protecting Jing Dan so well as she did now. It was because of protecting her so well that Jing Dan had little contact with things, and many things she thought about using her own way of thinking were simply not the same!

Jing Li also fell into silence when she saw it, reflecting on whether she had spent too little time with her, causing her to not be taught many things, which is why she now seemed so naive, unable to even distinguish her feelings.

She looked thoughtful, glanced at He Ying’s face, and felt that perhaps she could find a time to guide Zaizai a bit, to see if she could awaken her.

He Ying was a good daughter-in-law in their family, good to Jing Dan herself, with outstanding looks and abilities. Moreover, as far as she knew, He Ying was actually doing things for the Spirit Management Bureau secretly, in a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship.

At such a young age, to have such strength, it is truly rare to see.

He Ying didn’t know what they were thinking, she took a fruit knife to peel an apple, and then cut it into small pieces to feed Jing Dan, watching her slowly eat the small apple while lying in her arms, she smiled gently.

Forget it, let it be. At least staying by her side, it’s not easy for others to deceive her.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of her phone receiving a message. She opened it and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Jing Dan noticed the change in her expression and tilted her head, trying to see what she was looking at.

He Ying let her, holding up her phone screen in front of her to let her see the content clearly.

After seeing the content clearly, she was stunned. He Ying’s mother was coming over? Just at the thought of He Ying’s mother, she thought of the fear she felt when controlled during her medicinal bath.

Her ear was almost pinched off by her!

When it came to Jing Dan, He Ying naturally wouldn’t hide anything from her family. She said, “Regarding the matter of Jing Dan’s soul piece on me, there was a little incident recently. After I told my mom about it, she decided to come over and see for herself.”

Jing Shiyue was slightly stunned, “Your mother is coming over?”

He Ying nodded.

Jing Shiyue was delighted and immediately said, “If she is coming, let her come to our place! She helped us diagnose Xiaojing’s soul symptoms before, and we haven’t had a chance to thank her in person yet. Now that she is coming, we can properly show our gratitude!”

She was also curious about He Ying’s mother, wondering what kind of person she was to raise someone like He Ying.

He Ying hesitated for a moment, then bowed her head to type and ask for He Yuan’s opinion.

After receiving He Yuan’s confirmation, she nodded and said, “She agreed, she will be here soon.”

Perhaps this is the advantage of being a spirit, able to depart at any time.

After sending the accurate location, He Ying and the others went out to wait for He Yuan’s arrival. After all, there were restrictions in the house and He Yuan couldn’t easily enter.

They waited outside for about ten minutes, then suddenly saw a woman appear at the entrance. She was dressed in all white, and both her clothes and complexion appeared particularly plain. Her eyes didn’t show any worldly desires, only a sense of weariness.

Those who had never seen He Yuan before were initially stunned. They had expected that the mother who raised a daughter like He Ying would be a gentle and tender woman. However, they were completely surprised by what they saw, feeling a strong sense of aloofness, making her seem unapproachable.

He Ying went out to greet He Yuan with Jing Dan in her arms, and the others followed immediately.

He Yuan first glanced at He Ying, then shifted her gaze to Jing Dan in her arms. She smiled slightly and reached out as if to pick her up.

Jing Dan: “…” Unable to refuse.

With her mother acting this way, He Ying naturally couldn’t refuse either, so she handed Jing Dan over to He Yuan to hold.

After He Yuan held Jing Dan, she first smoothed out her hair and then pinched her ear. The slight smile on her lips deepened a little.

Being pinched, Jing Dan seemed to return to the time of the medicinal bath, feeling submissive and unable to resist.

“You must be He Ying’s mother.” Jing Li spoke first, with a gentle and generous attitude towards He Yuan.

He Yuan looked up at them, nodded at Jing Li, then looked towards Jing Shiyue and the person next to her, Qiu Shuhuai, with a contemplative expression.

“Let’s go inside first,” Jing Shiyue said.

The group sat back inside, with Jing Dan staying in He Yuan’s arms without any struggle. Jing Li looked at Jing Dan like this for a while, wondering where her previous resistance had gone. Now, in He Ying’s mother’s arms, she didn’t dare move at all?

After sitting down, He Yuan didn’t engage in small talk and looked at He Ying seriously, saying, “Remember to inform me the next time the remnant soul appears.”

He Ying: “…Oh.”

She replied, but felt a bit embarrassed in her heart, as if the moments when the soul came out were never at serious times.

Since He Ying’s issue had temporarily entered an unresolved stage, He Yuan’s gaze suddenly fell on Qiu Shuhuai, and she asked directly, “I noticed that you don’t walk as lightly as them. May I ask, are you human?”

Qiu Shuhuai was initially stunned, not expecting He Ying’s mother to suddenly shift the topic to her. She glanced at Jing Shiyue and nodded.

She may be human right now, but she had gone through separations and reunions with Jing Shiyue time and time again.

Seeing her nod, she asked again, “How many lifetimes have you experienced together?”

He Ying didn’t understand why her mother suddenly asked these questions. Normally, she wasn’t the type to be concerned about such matters.

Qiu Shuhuai pursed her lips and lowered her gaze, saying, “This is our fifth lifetime.”

Upon hearing her words, Jing Shiyue’s expression also darkened slightly, as they couldn’t let go of each other, forcing them to endure these torments.

At her words, He Yuan nodded.

Jing Shiyue, considering her identity, felt that He Yuan must have had a reason for asking such a question. She didn’t seem like a gossiping person, so Jing Shiyue suddenly became excited and asked He Yuan, “Do you have a solution?”

She even used polite language.

Jing Li, on the side, also stared intently at He Yuan, waiting for her to provide an answer. If her little sister could break free from this cycle, as her older sister, she would naturally be thrilled!

He Yuan nodded lightly, holding Jing Dan’s hand and pinching her ear, saying, “There is a way, it just depends on whether you are willing or not.”

Jing Shiyue’s eyes lit up. After so many years, no one had ever told her that there was a way to break free from this predicament.

Qiu Shuhuai was very nervous. She both hoped to break free from this cycle with Jing Shiyue for a long time, and feared that Jing Shiyue would pay a great price for it. Her whole person tensed to an unimaginable degree.

Only to hear He Yuan’s mother say, “It’s simple, divide your spirit core in half with her. You and her will naturally be bound together, you live, she lives; you die, she dies. Of course, the reverse is also true.”

At this statement, everyone present froze, even Qiu Shuhuai seemed to find it hard to believe her ears. Being with a spirit, there were naturally some things she knew about. The spirit core’s importance to spirits was not inferior to the heart’s importance to humans. If half the heart was gone, how could one continue to live?

Jing Shiyue stared closely at He Yuan. Since she dared to say these words, she naturally had confidence in solving the issue of splitting the spirit core in half without dying. Jing Shiyue believed He Yuan was not someone who spoke without good reason.

“What should we do?” she asked.

He Yuan looked up at her, “You need to consider this carefully. If you divide the spirit core with her, it’s equivalent to having a clear vulnerability. While she may still be human, different from you only in sharing your lifespan, she remains very fragile. If she dies, you will die too.”

“Right now, the way you are, if she dies, there will still be future lifetimes for her.”

Jing Shiyue remembered the hysterical appearance of Qiu Shuhuai in the previous lifetime. Her expression gradually became firm. “I am sure! I want her to always be by my side!”

Continuing in this endless cycle, she didn’t know at which moment Qiu Shuhuai would no longer be able to endure, or perhaps it would be herself who could not go on.

He Ying looked at He Yuan, not expecting her to take the initiative to help Jing Shiyue resolve this matter.

Being able to help Jing Shiyue solve this matter meant that she owed her a great favor, and in the future, she would naturally do everything to protect her.

The author has something to say:

Mother Jing: Call me mom.

Jing Zai: You didn’t give birth to her!

Hehe: It doesn’t require giving birth to call someone mom.

Luan Luan: I can already see them heading to the Civil Affairs Bureau!
