Bai Xi thought, and a voice came from not far away: "Awake? Get up and eat something."
She immediately got up and saw Han Mo standing by the table, arranging breakfast. Fragrant chicken congee, orange-yellow corn rolls, and crispy pan-fried dumplings... they looked so appetizing that she couldn't help but swallow.
She got up and subconsciously asked, "Did you prepare all this?"
Han Mo told the truth: "I just went out this morning and was surrounded by your subordinates. I said I was going to buy you breakfast, but they insisted on going themselves. I just gave them my name, and they bought all these things."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow: "Oh, it seems they all like you quite a bit."
Han Mo smiled: "Do they? Perhaps it's just loving the house and its crow."
In fact, the real scene this morning was much more absurd than his understated description.
In their words, he only needed to take good care of Xi'er, and they could handle these menial tasks. They even took it upon themselves to buy him a bowl of potent restorative soup. If he drank it, not only would he get a nosebleed, but he would likely have a much harder time today.
Bai Xi got up to wash and tidy herself before sitting at the table. While drinking the congee and eating the pan-fried dumplings, she said, "I need to go to the hospital later. Do you have time to accompany me?"
Han Rui had been whining yesterday, complaining of pain here and there. If he was truly ill, she trusted Han Mo more than other doctors. If he wasn't sick, with Han Mo present, he wouldn't be able to deceive her.
Han Mo was also drinking his congee. Hearing Bai Xi mention going to the hospital, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Xi briefly explained Han Rui's situation to him, including the Han family's special abilities, their trials, and even the elixir of immortality that Han Rui had mentioned.
Actually, she knew that Han Rui's words yesterday might not all be true. He might have been lying to stall for time and to save his life.
However, he had confirmed his mind-reading ability to Han Zheng, and her interactions with him had indeed given her reason to doubt.
Regarding the Han family's so-called trials, even the Shadow Department couldn't investigate them. If it wasn't for Han Rui babbling carelessly, it would only prove that the Han family had protected the matter very well. But what exactly it was, she could only investigate it herself, and the simplest way to investigate was through the source, Han Rui.
After she finished speaking, she looked up slightly and saw Han Mo frowning. "What's wrong? Do you find this unbelievable, or difficult to accept?"
Actually, for those of them who practiced martial arts, they understood that there were many things in this world that could not be explained by current science, such as so-called Qigong, or her own instant movement after falling off the cliff.
But Han Mo was different. Han Mo studied medicine and naturally advocated for science, so it was perfectly normal for him to find it difficult to accept at first.
"It's alright, you're just accompanying me to see him today, to see how seriously he's injured."
Han Mo looked up and smiled slightly, "Okay."
For the past two hundred years, he had been in the outer regions. When he sensed Bai Xi's rebirth, he had searched for her tirelessly. At first, for some reason, the Blood Butterfly couldn't sense her existence. It was only when she fell off a cliff and was on the verge of death that he found her.
After that, he dedicated himself to assisting and protecting her.
In his memory, the Han family should have been annihilated long ago. Just a few years after Han Luo's death, they were completely wiped out. The Han family, having lost him and Han Luo, became a scattered mess. Those who wanted to seize power might not have had the ability to manage the Han family, and ultimately it led to a disaster, and the entire Han family was reduced to ashes.
Why was there still a Han family?
If it were just the surname Han, it would be one thing, but these innate abilities still existed, proving that the current Han family was of the same bloodline as the former Han family.
Bai Xi looked at Han Mo's smile and frowned slightly: "I think I said last time, if you don't want to smile, don't. You look just as good when you're not smiling."
Han Mo paused slightly and subconsciously looked at Bai Xi.
Bai Xi stepped forward, gently took off his glasses, and placed a kiss on his cheek: "If I see you forcing a smile like this again, I'll punish you in this way."
If one forced themselves to smile when they didn't want to, over time, their heart would not find release, leading to sadness, depression, and pain.
She didn't know why he suppressed himself so much, why he suppressed his inner feelings. If he didn't want to say, then she didn't need to know, but she hoped he understood that she didn't mind.
Han Mo looked at Bai Xi, feeling a lump in his throat, as if some emotion was brewing within him, making him unable to control it.
Could she truly accept the real him? And he actually liked to endure this kind of punishment.
After breakfast, Bai Xi went downstairs. As soon as she did, she heard a lot of noisy voices.
"What, what are they doing?"
"Who knows? Probably two rich young masters pursuing the same girl. One is using the 'food strategy,' and the other is using the 'flower strategy.'"
"Did you make up this strategy yourself?"
"No, I'm just saying what I see with my own eyes!"
"You say, this girl must be a fairy descended to earth, otherwise how could she attract two such handsome men?"
"Haha, maybe it's 'rich in appearance' and 'rich in talent'!"
"Did you see the cars these two men are driving? Would people of this caliber be interested in money?"
"Ha, this is truly a thought that only women would have. Of course, the more money the better. Marrying into a good family can strengthen one's own family, so why not? Although you often watch those brainless 'CEO falls in love with me' dramas, how many men in real life would marry a girl from an ordinary family?"
"That's right, that's right, my brother. Heroes think alike. These men just play around with ordinary beautiful women. If they really want to marry someone, it's either a young, beautiful, and money-making female celebrity, or a girl from a clean background and a wealthy family. Such a formal and grand pursuit means this girl is definitely not simple."
"What's this girl's name again?"
"It's on the flowers, isn't it? It says... Bai Xi!"
Hearing this, Bai Xi frowned slightly and looked towards the crowd.
It was better not to look, but the moment she did, she felt like she had been struck by lightning.
The left side of the hotel lobby was set up like a buffet, with various delicacies laid out on beautiful dining tables, covered in transparent boxes. Each box had a pink heart-shaped balloon tied to it, with the words "Bai Xi" written on it.
The right side was arranged like a flower shop, with white roses, red roses, and pink roses creating a flower wall. The wall was about two meters high, with pink roses as the base, red roses arranged in a large heart, and white roses in the center of the heart spelling out the words "Bai Xi."
And the "salespeople" standing by the two "stalls" were also very familiar. Even more speechless was that they had clearly seen her!
