I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 728: Chapter 736 I Will Never Hurt You

Bai Zhi just couldn’t understand. What could she do? After all, this was their own personal matter. As an onlooker, what could she possibly do?

“I don’t know…” Bai Fei knew this as well. “I’m aware that I cannot sway their thoughts, but I just… It’s just so incredibly painful. I don’t want them to split up. I want our family to stay together forever.”

Bai Fei’s distress grew even further. She knew this principle well, but knowing and accepting were two different things that could not be conflated.

She understood that it was their issue, something between the two of them. But accepting it was a whole other matter.

She couldn’t imagine what it would be like if her parents got divorced, unable to envision them ever being unable to sit together for a meal, a happy family as before.

“Uh-huh, I understand.” Bai Zhi sat down beside Bai Fei.

Wu Wa brought over some potato chips and spicy strips. Bai Zhi and Wu Wa started to eat them slowly.

Crunching soundly, they were particularly fragrant, particularly crisp, and exceptionally tasty.

The spicy strips, too, remained as delicious as ever.

She was supposed to be feeling sad and upset, but when Bai Fei heard the sound of them eating chips, she looked up to see them eating so heartily, it seemed a bit much.

“You two are going overboard.”

Bai Fei wiped her tears and grabbed some spicy strips to start eating.

The ripping noise it made was loud, but she just couldn’t stop. She still wanted more. That was the charm of spicy strips.

The more she ate, the more she craved, and the tastier it felt.

“In fact, you understand that it’s their matter, their choice that we can’t influence. A relationship is a matter for two people. As onlookers, we really can’t feel what they’re going through.

Like now, even though we both are worried about you. But we can’t feel the pain you’re suffering inside, right?”

Bai Zhi looked at Bai Fei and spoke. Probably for her entire life, she could never understand how distressed Bai Fei truly felt. But because she couldn’t understand or feel it, that’s why she said they couldn’t sway others’ feelings.

“Yeah, but I just can’t stop thinking about it.”

Bai Fei nodded through her sobs, not forgetting to continue eating.

“That’s normal, as long as you don’t interfere.”

It was just like how she absolutely despised Bai Da. She couldn’t forgive and only wanted to stay far away from him.

“Alas,” Bai Fei said, but she still didn’t know what to do.

In reality, she just wanted to talk to someone, not necessarily to hear advice.

That evening, Bai Fei wanted to squeeze into the same room with the other two. Wu Wa and Bai Zhi agreed. They hadn’t lived together for a long time and soon realized the place seemed a bit cramped. The three of them goofed around for a while, but eventually, they all returned to their own rooms to sleep.

Bai Fei and Bai Xiang left early in the morning to visit Li Sisi. Meanwhile, Wu Wa was preparing to make a trip back to the mountains, and Bai Zhi strolled around the village with Xu Yan.

“Sister, I think your place is beautiful.”

Xu Yan admired the mountains and waters, which gave a sense of serenity.

“Yep, I also think this place is beautiful. Whenever I feel restless, I think about coming back to see it, and it really lifts my spirits.”

Every return visit allowed her to calm her mind and then set off anew.

“I’ve actually always wanted to hate my deadbeat dad. The pins in my brother’s body really hurt. Every time I thought it was gout and considered what ointment to use, I would wonder why I was so unlucky,”

Bai Zhi couldn’t help wanting to laugh when she remembered those times, yet the laughter wouldn’t come out. “Back then, I really did everything I could to stay, to earn enough money to buy my own house. No, that’s not right.”

Bai Zhi thought seriously about what she should say and concluded, “To be honest, I want to buy a lot of houses so I can live the life of a rent collector.

Every day my job would be to go to each building and collect the rent. That kind of life must be absolutely amazing.”

Even now, the corners of Bai Zhi’s mouth would curl up into a silly smile whenever she thought of it.

It seemed she had achieved a little bit of her goal, right?

“Um, that dream is achievable. Do you want me to help you make it happen?”

Xu Yan always found his sister’s dreams silly yet practical.

“No need, I can do it myself. I’ve been making soap, shampoo, and various kinds of facial masks with my cousin. I’m already rich.”

Only, it seemed like no matter what, she depended on her cousin, which wasn’t great.

“Really? That’s awesome.”

Xu Yan reached out and ruffled Bai Zhi’s hair, just as he had done when she was laughing about winning a hundred bucks.

“I also think it’s great. I don’t have to worry about anything; I just let the straight guys handle the formula. But I always feel there’s something not right. I want to do something I like.

Brother, what do you think about me making plus-size women’s clothing? I used to be so fat I could never find clothes I wanted to wear. Whenever I went into a clothing store, they’d say they didn’t have my size. I felt so terrible then, and my face would get so hot.”

That feeling of being slapped in the face, even if the store clerk didn’t explicitly say anything, it still felt like ridicule. It was a sign of lost confidence.

“But this might not be easy at this time…”

Xu Yan spoke the truth, because if you can’t establish brand recognition, it’s really tough. “Besides, you didn’t study art, and you’ve never made clothes before…”

“But if you want to do it, then go ahead, I support you.”

If his sister liked it, then why not? Just go for it if it brings joy.

“I know, that’s why I’m taking it slow, and I haven’t planned on making it too big—just a small shop that makes me happy. If it’s not there, it won’t upset me.”

Bai Zhi had never thought of making money for any reason other than enjoyment.

“Okay, good. And you should also take a look at the Drunken Moon Restaurant’s accounts. What if you get cheated while Han Feng and I aren’t around?”

Xu Yan looked at Bai Zhi and continued speaking. “And I’ll be going back soon. I’ll have the teacher look at the Jade Pendant. I think it’s an antique, probably a thousand or eight hundred years old at least.”

Xu Yan had scrutinized it carefully before coming to this conclusion. He could tell it was a fine jade pendant.

“Great, I’ll leave that in your hands, brother.”

Bai Zhi looked at Xu Yan, feeling a sudden surge of emotion—not wanting to speak, not that she couldn’t, but because some things couldn’t be gambled on.

“Brother, where are you headed…?”

Bai Zhi’s lips quivered. She wanted to say everything, but she couldn’t. At that moment, she understood her uncle’s mindset.

“Didn’t I tell you? Honey Melon and Lanzhou noodles.”

Xu Yan patted Bai Zhi’s head, wondering how she could forget again. “I’ll be back as soon as possible to give you the Jade Pendant, so don’t worry. No matter who looks for you these next few days, don’t go. Understand?”

Xu Yan didn’t want his sister to suffer any harm. Sister, no matter what I’ve done or what I’m going to do. I’ll never hurt you…

Whatever he did, it was to survive. And now, he had another reason, which was to protect his sister.
