"Why don’t you want to?" The partner was confused. What was going on? The old Ye Xiu wasn’t , and it’s only been half a year. Why has everything changed so much in just two days?
"And you?" Ye Xiu suddenly felt tired.
"Mind your own business." The partner was irritable, having been working alone recently.
"Then I’ll say the same thing."
Ye Xiu spoke and went straight inside to close the door.
The partner was completely dumbfounded, not expecting such a heartbreaking outcome.
"Weren’t you the one who used to consider the students’ interests above all?"
It seemed that anything could be sacrificed in the past, so why not now?
"Now I’m no longer a teacher. Naturally, I must look out for myself. If I give my house to the school, what will I do? Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire. You should leave..."
Ye Xiu thought that even though she had nothing now, she still had to keep going. No matter what the future held, she would walk it alone.
Bai Zhi and Bai Xiang received a call that Bai Yu was going to be sent to a juvenile detention center, so they should come and see him right away.
Bai Zhi initially didn’t want to come because she was busy, but she came anyway.
Only because there was something she hadn’t yet told Bai Yu.
Something that would make him suffer. Bai Zhi thought that would make her very happy.
Bai Yu’s expression worsened when he saw Bai Zhi and Bai Da.
"What are you doing here? I don’t welcome you."
He didn’t want to see them, how could he let them see him ? It wasn’t right, not right.
So Bai Yu said he didn’t like them, but Bai Zhi saw it as him hating her. The two of them still perfectly hated each other.
"Bai Yu, I want to talk to you about something alone,"
Bai Yu really wanted to say no, but Bai Da had already left.
"What do you want to talk about? You like me? You think I’m happy and that’s enough?"
Bai Zhi’s mouth twitched at hearing that. Wishful thinking.
"It’s been so long since we last met, Bai Yu. How are you still so narcissistic? I hate you more like."
Bai Yu might not be crazy, but he was close enough.
"Then what is it you want to tell me?"
Bai Yu’s face darkened more, and Bai Zhi was as annoying as ever.
"Your precious Nan Xi is missing, I don’t know where she went, but I do know one thing, Nan Xi has many identities; you must have suspected something about her."
Bai Zhi didn’t believe that Bai Yu had noticed nothing.
It was like he didn’t know. That’s a parent’s problem. Bai Yu and Bai Ye were almost always together. How could she possibly... they are siblings, after all.
"I don’t understand what you’re talking about."
Bai Yu spoke outright, he would never tell Bai Zhi anything.
"If you don’t understand, then forget it."
Bai Zhi knew Bai Yu understood. He just didn’t want to admit it.
How could he admit it? This person today, she’s not his natural sister, look around...
Bai Zhi didn’t stay long and was ready to go back. She had a lot to study, and nobody tried to stop her.
Of course, the main reason was what kind of person Bai Yu was.
Bai Yu covered his mouth, not letting himself make any noise, trying hard to read, but only he knew that he had ultimately chosen someone else.
"Wait two days, that’s too long, let’s take it slowly."
He hoped Xixi would understand, but Bai Zhi’s last words as she walked away lingered,
"People always try to move forward slowly. Don’t take away sand or anything else."
He would definitely get out and settle scores with Bai Zhi in the future. It’s just that he had no chance now.
What Bai Zhi said must be a lie. How could Nan Xi not be Nan Xi?
But her words echoed in his ears.
"If it wasn’t because she isn’t Nan Xi, then tell me, weren’t you suspicious? But this has nothing to do with me. I’m leaving now."
Bai Zhi did leave, but she left behind a needle simply to make him guess. It was really meaningless.
He really didn’t know what to do. His heart was in turmoil, and he began to doubt. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩
By the time Bai Zhi returned home, it was already afternoon, feeling confused all day, not knowing what he was doing or needed to do.
This was rather awkward.
Once he picked up a book, he felt much more comfortable.
He hadn’t even started to read seriously when suddenly a guest arrived outside.
It was Bai Dan who brought the guest over.
Bai Zhi looked up and saw an unfamiliar old man.
But the one prepared to meet Bai Zhi, Han Feng, was wide-eyed and tense.
The man was Han Sheng, his grandfather in name now.
"Xingxing, go make some tea and prepare a few dishes."
Of course, Bai Dan was also very frustrated; the plan was to come back earlier. He hadn’t expected Han Sheng to be so shameless to come along too.
Bai Zhi nodded and then brought over the tea. Han Sheng indeed looked like a kind person.
But from ancient times, Bai Zhi hadn’t believed it for a moment.
"No trouble, brother, it’s been a long time. I’m here to pick up my grandson; the boy has suffered too much..."
Han Sheng’s gaze shifted to Han Feng; unexpectedly, he had really learned something.
He could even deceive him now, very good, very good.
"Don’t worry, I think Han Feng is doing quite well."
Bai Dan and Han Sheng started gossiping from this house to their current situation,
but Bai Zhi always felt a gaze on her, making her very uncomfortable.
After making dinner and bringing it over, she finally saw it, saw it on that person. Like the breath of death.
And an unspeakable disgust, an instinctive revulsion.
"This cooking is really good; your granddaughter is truly a treasure, able to do anything and so amazing."
Han Sheng pointed to his bowl, "I ate a lot too."
After eating, Han Sheng went out with Han Feng. Bai Zhi and Bai Dan saw them off.
They finally parted at the small path, Bai Dan holding his granddaughter’s hand.
Everything was about to officially start.
But Bai Dan truly wasn’t scared at all.
Losing two such important subordinates, yet still able to chat lightheartedly with her, pretending he had nothing to do with it.
Right, maybe he still thought we were all fools, completely played by him.
Since he wanted to play, then let’s play together; it’s just acting after all. Just not sure if Brother Han Feng would be in danger.
Bai Zhi made breakfast, and sensing the aroma, Han Sheng came over.
"Wow, the aroma, I smell. I don’t know if there’s breakfast for me."
Bai Zhi’s face turned dark, "There isn’t."
"Why not?" Han Sheng didn’t understand, could it be that she knew his identity?
As he looked at Bai Zhi, he drooled... couldn’t wait to... eat,
"My home is just a small house; I can’t afford to feed you every day."
"No, no, that’s not it. I grew up poor too, why would I be afraid?"
"Afraid?" Bai Zhi was stunned. What was he talking about?
What on earth was he saying?
"Oh, I misspoke, misspoke. I meant I don’t know either."
