Bai Xi frowned, "Secondary damage? What would happen?"
Bai Han raised an eyebrow, smiling even more gently. "Perhaps, you'll be like me when I was little."
Hearing this, Bai Xi's lips twitched slightly.
Her memories were indeed not entirely clear, but she remembered almost all of them. If she were to force herself to recall, her intelligence and memory would be stuck at seven or eight years old. How then could she be the God of War of the dark division? She would need someone to take care of her.
That would be a huge hassle, so it was better not to think about it.
Bai Xi immediately shook her head, pushing away her turbulent emotions, and then asked, "Brother, I haven't finished eating. Is there any more congee?"
Bai Han smiled and said, "Yes, I'll go get you another bowl right now."
Bai Xi nodded.
Just as Bai Han was about to get up, Lin Yun rushed in, her face filled with worry. "Xi'er, you're finally awake."
Bai Xi nodded and smiled. "I'm sorry, Mom, for making you worry."
Lin Yun's eyes turned red. "It's okay, it's okay. As long as you're alright."
Following Lin Yun were Xuan Feng and Han Rui.
Seeing Han Rui, Bai Xi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Why are you here?"
Upon hearing Bai Xi's question, Han Rui paused slightly. His eyes, usually filled with charm, were now somewhat subdued. "What, Han Rui considers you a friend. You're injured, and I've come to visit. Is that not allowed?"
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, not expecting him to speak so seriously.
It made sense, after all, she had just woken up from being unconscious. It was not unreasonable for him to be serious.
However, seeing him so serious made her a little unaccustomed.
He said she was his friend.
In her heart, they had gone through hardships together. Moreover, when they left Shangyang, the head of the Han family had even given her the signet ring symbolizing the head of the Han family, which was the greatest trust placed in her. She should help the Han family grow stronger.
They were naturally partners, friends, and even... siblings? Thinking this, a faint smile curved her lips. "Thank you."
Seeing her smile, Han Rui frowned slightly. "You..."
He seemed to want to say something but ultimately did not.
Bai Xi looked at him, who seemed to hesitate to speak, and asked, "What about me?"
Although everything felt logical, except for her memory not being particularly smooth, there was nothing obviously wrong. However, these people in front of her... seemed a little off.
Xuan Feng looked at Han Rui without speaking.
Han Rui gritted his teeth slightly and finally flashed a charming, brilliant smile. "Do you remember that before you fainted, you tightly held my hand and said that you would marry no one but me in this life, that you wanted to be together forever, a loving couple envied by all."
Bai Xi: "..."
She was wrong. How could Han Rui be serious?
"Xuan Feng, carry him away and take him at least a hundred meters away from my sight!"
"Yes!" Xuan Feng immediately picked Han Rui up from the ground, slung him over his shoulder, and turned to leave.
As he was carried on Xuan Feng's shoulder, Han Rui said, "It's uncomfortable to be carried like this. Xuan Feng, can you do a princess carry? It should be much more comfortable that way."
Xuan Feng said calmly, "You are not a princess."
Hearing Xuan Feng's reply, Han Rui became even more animated. "Then do a prince carry. I'm not picky! It's definitely more comfortable than being slung over your shoulder."
Xuan Feng said earnestly, "The God of War ordered that you be carried away, so it must be carried away. If you are truly uncomfortable, I can knock you unconscious and then carry you."
Han Rui was speechless. He reached up and pressed his forehead, looking helpless. "You really are a blockhead."
Bai Xi watched their retreating backs and said nothing more.
Before long, Xuan Feng had carried Han Rui out of the Bai family villa.
Han Rui's previously spirited face instantly became silent and quiet. "That's enough, Xuan Feng. Put me down."
Xuan Feng stopped and gently placed Han Rui on the ground.
Han Rui reached out and looked at the clouds in the sky. His usually charming and passionate eyes were inexplicably dim. "So, we can never mention Han Mo in front of little Xi'er again?"
Xuan Feng's body stiffened slightly. "Saying it only causes the God of War pain. What good does that do?"
Han Rui's voice suddenly sharpened. "Pain? Indeed, death brings an end to everything, so there's naturally no pain to speak of."
Xuan Feng frowned. "What are you trying to say?"
Han Rui sneered. "What happened that night?"
After speaking, he grabbed Xuan Feng's shoulders fiercely with both hands.
Xuan Feng did not look at Han Rui's eyes but turned his face away.
Seeing that Xuan Feng wouldn't say anything, Han Rui suddenly laughed. His devilishly charming, exquisite face contorted in unrestrained laughter, exuding an unspeakable danger. "Hahaha, Han Mo died just like that, inexplicably, on his wedding day, dying mysteriously, and not even allowed to be mentioned. And you won't even tell me what happened."
Han Mo had entrusted himself entirely to Bai Xi.
In the past few days, all his assets, subordinates, and everything of value had been gradually transferred to Bai Xi.
He had even given him a book, a book containing drug formulas, telling him to produce these drugs well in the future, with all income belonging to Bai Xi and the Bai family.
At the time, he had deliberately teased him, calling him henpecked. But he hadn't expected... that the next day, he would have "suddenly died."
On the wedding day he had looked forward to for so long.
He and Xuan Feng were the first to arrive at the scene.
Xuan Feng had grown up in the wilderness, living among wolves. His senses were more acute than ordinary people, and what was most acute for him was not just his senses but also his sense of smell for blood.
In the front hall, he had smelled the scent of blood.
So, he followed the scent to investigate what had happened.
He had been following him all along, all the way to the bridal chamber of Bai Xi and Han Mo.
She had told him to wait outside, and he had complied. Because his skills were no match for those of the dark division, he hadn't gone in. Instead, he had gone to the front hall to find Liu Yue.
When Liu Yue arrived, he saw him with blood all over his hands and a livid face.
Liu Yue had asked him what had happened, and he had only said one thing: "Han Mo... suddenly died."
He himself was a doctor, perhaps even the best doctor she had ever seen. If there was a physical problem, wouldn't he know it himself? How could he suddenly die on his wedding night?
Moreover, when Xuan Feng came out, his hands were covered in bright red blood. He had seen it clearly. What kind of sudden death would result in so much blood? Someone who could follow the scent of blood to a place, with blood on his hands.
If it wasn't a sudden death, why the concealment? And who could kill her future husband in front of the God of War? And she, despite being unconscious, had no injuries on her body!
He had a terrifying suspicion. He wanted to prove this suspicion wrong more than anyone. But this man in front of him wouldn't even tell him what happened inside!
How could this make him trust Bai Xi, trust the dark division, trust him!
He had looked at Bai Xi just now and realized that he could no longer read her thoughts at all.
As for Bai Xi's brother, Bai Han, it was the same.
So, if Xuan Feng didn't want to say, and wouldn't look at him, he would never know what happened.
To be able to read people's minds, yet to have a secret he couldn't uncover, ha, how ironic.
"Ha, sudden death it is then. The high and mighty dark division can say whatever they want. We can only accept it. Anyway, the signet ring symbolizing the head of the Han family has been given to Bai Xi, and everything will proceed according to the procedures. I will do my part well from now on, and I ask Commander Xuan Feng to do his part well, and to keep a close eye on our Han family for your master."
