Chapter 726 - 734 The Person Least Wanted to SuspectChapter 726: Chapter 734 The Person Least Wanted to Suspect
Bai Zhi’s voice also came out at that time, “Back then, I just felt you needed help.”
Xu Yan had indeed been here in those days, and the young Bai Zhi had indeed given him something to eat, except at that time Bai Zhi still had no memory, so naturally, she didn’t recognize Xu Yan.
So it was sometimes really fate’s arrangement. Later, Xu Yan forgot about this place, and also about that little girl, until now when they needed a reason they had known each other all along.
Everything just turned out perfect.
Xu Yan gazed at the sky, a smile on his lips. “Actually, I don’t have a sister, I was an orphan to begin with, but when you saved me, I told myself you were my sister.
After that, I went to many places, hoping to find you but never did, because I had lost part of my memory.”
Bai Xiang and Bai Fei stopped outside the door, a tear glimmering in Bai Fei’s eyes—so this was the real truth.
Xingxing was right, they had known each other for a long time, and the senior had also said Xingxing looked a lot like his sister. It turned out the person he was looking for was indeed Xingxing.
The reason he hadn’t mentioned it was due to her feelings, or maybe because the senior himself didn’t know the truth.
Even though she felt a bit gloomy, she had really moved on, so now she took a deep breath and quickly followed them inside.
“Senior, what were you and Xingxing talking about?”
Bai Fei pointed to the popsicles Bai Xiang brought in, “Come on, let’s eat the popsicles first, or they’ll melt soon.”
Bai Fei quickly took out a few and everyone started sharing. Wu Wa brought a few bowls out, and Bai Xiang had already given her a bag of black and white mixes.
Wu Wa was a bit puzzled and cautiously looked at Bai Xiang, feeling that the sly boss was up to no good. “Thanks but I can take them myself.”
Bai Xiang: “…” Was there really a need to be so guarded against him?
After dinner, everyone cleaned up and then brought out a watermelon, sitting in the yard while watching Xingxing munching on watermelon.
“Where is Senior Xu Yan from?”
As the brother of every girl here, Bai Xiang felt he needed to understand clearly.
“I am also from Nanning, just an orphan who lost his memories, then I went to Imperial City and met Han Feng.”
Xu Yan was not surprised to be questioned and started speaking with a nostalgic look in his eyes.
“You wouldn’t know, but back then, it was really… Han Feng is actually quite pitiful. Even having gone to Imperial City, he couldn’t control his own life. His Grandpa had already arranged everything for him; he was like a puppet on strings, devoid of any soul.”
When Xu Yan said this, his voice was tinged with compassion, “You don’t know, but for Han Feng to come this far wasn’t easy at all. Every time it was a full-out effort to struggle.
But his mother wouldn’t understand him; in her heart, Han Feng was probably just a money-making machine.”
The few years Han Feng went through were indeed not easy, “The only time he felt happy was when he talked about you, Xingxing, there was light in his eyes. He looked so happy.”
Bai Zhi also sighed deeply; life was just like that. Many people thought that Han Feng must be enjoying his fortune, but it wasn’t really the case.
What we see is just the glamorous side of others, starting to feel jealous without thinking about what effort and sweat it took behind that glamour.
“I’ve always really believed in him, certain that he could achieve his dreams. Senior, you’re the same.”
While speaking, Bai Zhi didn’t forget to glance at Xu Yan—after all, she knew her own brother was quite prone to jealousy.
“Of course, I’ve said you’re my sister, no need for formalities like ’senior.’”
Xu Yan directly glared at Bai Zhi; how could she still not catch on to what to say next? She was really too naive. How could he have such a foolish sister?
“It’s getting late; everyone should rest early.”
Bai Zhi directly changed the subject, as this was a very awkward question.
In the end, Bai Xiang took Xu Yan to stay with Great Grandpa, while Bai Fei stayed with them here.
…
When Xu Yan arrived in the morning, he had already smelled the aroma. On entering the kitchen, he saw that Bai Zhi had finished preparing the food.
“Why didn’t you wait for us to cook together?”
What Bai Zhi made was buns, which meant she had to get up at five to knead and let the dough rise, eventually producing plump, white buns.
“It’s fine, I got up anyway. One type of bun with pork and scallion, the other with pork and leek for you to enjoy. They go great with the cured meat porridge.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yan couldn’t help but smile, as she had already started praising her own cooking.
“After eating, I want to go to the mountaintop and look around. I always feel like this place isn’t just a simple house.”
Xu Yan always felt something was slightly off, as if he was about to know the answer, and then suddenly got blocked outside. He could almost see it, but just couldn’t reach it.
“Sure, but it tends to be foggy at the summit all year round, you might need a few more days.”
Bai Zhi smiled, but her heart was a riddle of mixed feelings.
She had never thought that one day even Xu Yan would start to doubt.
Not knowing who is good and who is not.
Xu Yan once said she was the person he trusted the most, that even if he couldn’t trust anyone in the world, he could trust Xu Yan because Xu Yan was his brother.
However, she never expected that one day she would become so selfish.
From the moment Xu Yan arrived in the county and went to the mountains to collect chestnuts, she had actually started doubting. Not to mention that now, she even thought about going to the mountaintop.
She didn’t know for sure, but she knew she was cautious. That’s why she decided to let Wu Wa take them out a bit later.
She never expected that one day, even sweetly calling him brother, she would doubt him.
But isn’t that life? Life is filled with much disappointment, and all we can do is take care of ourselves.
When Xu Yan heard this, he laughed, as if it was not a big problem at all, and spoke up.
“No worries, I’ll just stick around here these few days and observe the local customs.”
Xu Yan was looking at Bai Zhi, seemingly hoping she would agree, and how could Bai Zhi disagree? She immediately consented.
“Of course, you can.”
Just as Xu Yan was about to speak, Bai Fei and the others got up and couldn’t leave the sight of the buns.
“It’s been so long since I last ate Xingxing’s cooking, I’m really lucky. Same with you, senior.”
Bai Fei, afraid that Xu Yan wouldn’t believe him, hurriedly filled Xu Yan’s bowl with more food. Elder brother Bai Xiang looked murderous.
“Bai Fei, calm down a bit, can’t you see Xu Yan can’t finish it?”
Bai Xiang hadn’t anticipated that Bai Fei’s rebellious phase would come so quickly, doing precisely what she was told not to.
“It’s okay, senior, please eat, it’s delicious.” Xu Yan was somewhat embarrassed because he also couldn’t finish.
But seeing Bai Fei’s enthusiastic gaze, he could only continue eating. Finally, he slowly managed to eat it all, only to end up… quite full.
