Bai Zhi replied and then turned to Ouyang and Moh Li. "I’m leaving now."
"You haven’t said yet, who is that person?"
Ouyang was rather anxious, voicing the question Moh Li was also eager to know.
"I am Xingxing’s brother. Who are you guys exactly?"
Han Feng walked over and stood by Bai Zhi’s side, looking displeased at both of them.
Especially at Ouyang, who spoke as if he was interrogating Xingxing. Who did he think he was to Xingxing?
"We are friends of Bai Zhi. Aren’t her brothers Bai Yu and Bai Ye? We have been in the village for so long, and we’ve never seen you before."
Ouyang didn’t believe a word Han Feng said; how could he possibly be Bai Zhi’s brother? Did he take him for a fool?
"Ouyang, you really should mind your own business. This is my brother."
Bai Zhi frowned darkly and cut off Ouyang, defending Han Feng who was her friend after all. Ouyang’s words were a bit too much.
Bai Zhi’s defense deeply touched Han Feng. Xingxing was still the same Xingxing, always defending him no matter the circumstances. It felt really good.
Ouyang felt a bit gloomy; he hadn’t expected Bai Zhi to side with this man. It seemed he needed to go talk to Nan Xi.
"Alright, I might have been a bit rash, but I was just worried about you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi almost laughed; she hadn’t sensed any worry at all.
"Ouyang, since Bai Zhi said so, it must be true. Let’s meet tomorrow."
After saying that, Moh Li pulled Ouyang away. They left quickly, and Ouyang, a few steps later, was still reluctant.
"Moh Li, what are you doing? I haven’t finished speaking."
He definitely needed to have a serious talk with Bai Zhi.
"Bai Zhi is obviously defending that guy. What if she decides not to give us the pills tomorrow because of what you said?"
Moh Li’s words had a point, but Ouyang still felt gloomy; in his heart, Bai Zhi should always stand by him.
"Alright. I’m just a bit gloomy. Who is this guy suddenly popping up?"
They had never met him before.
"I don’t know." Moh Li’s words were as cold as ever, but this time, they were even colder.
"Cousin, I’ll go up the mountain again tonight to see if there’s anything to find. Let’s make some preparations for tomorrow. You go see Bai Zhi by yourself, okay? It might not be good if I tag along."
Moh Li hadn’t planned to go to the mountains again, but now he felt it necessary to find out who this person really was.
Bai Zhi paused, had Moh Li gotten angry just now? That was quite surprising. The usually icy Moh Li, getting angry?
"Xingxing, should I walk you home?"
Han Feng looked at Bai Zhi, starting cautiously. He felt that somehow, there had been a distance growing between them. She was still Xingxing, his Xingxing, yet recently she seemed to be avoiding him.
It was as if she had a little secret she wouldn’t share.
This feeling was not good at all.
"Sure." Bai Zhi didn’t refuse and agreed promptly.
"Wu Wa, I’m heading back first. Wait here for your aunt."
Lately, Bai Xin had grown increasingly beautiful, and it wouldn’t be good if someone took an interest in her. So, usually, one of them would wait for Bai Xin.
"Okay, no problem." Wu Wa knew, so she agreed instantly.
Bai Zhi and Han Feng walked together in the snowy fields. Under the moonlight, the snow looked even prettier — it was like something out of a fairy tale.
