A strong arm gripped her shoulder, steadying her. In that instant, the chaos in front of Bai Xi's eyes was dispelled, and what gradually emerged was Han Mo, dressed in a transparent protective suit and wearing a transparent protective mask.
At this moment, Han Mo's eyes were filled with worry.
Bai Xi said lightly, "I'm fine."
Han Mo remained somewhat uneasy and instinctively reached out to check her pulse.
He had always believed he was paying attention to Bai Xi's health.
Whenever she felt unwell, he would tell Feng Yi to help Bai Xi recover to her peak condition through food or medicinal meals. He had also meticulously managed her daily dietary regimen, which Feng Yi executed.
Her body truly had no issues, so why had she been experiencing frequent moments of absentmindedness and unsteady movements lately?
If it wasn't a physical condition, could it be that the Blood Jade Bracelet needed a blood replenishment?
By his calculations, it should have been too early for that.
Thinking of this, the worry on his brow became even more apparent.
Bai Xi directly took a step back, effortlessly and simply breaking free from Han Mo's hand. She said calmly, "I'm really fine. There's no abnormality in my body."
Han Mo...
She had to admit that the first time she saw Han Mo, she found him exceptionally handsome, more so than anyone else.
If she was Bai Xi, reborn and having lost her memories of her previous life.
Then the Han Mo before her... must have known everything.
He knew about their meeting three hundred years ago, knew that her corpse lay in the tomb within the Shangyang Zhulin mountain range, knew about the butterfly-shaped birthmark on the corpse's shoulder, and knew that she had died for him in her previous life...
So, had he chosen to retain the memories from three hundred years ago?
He had saved her six years ago, and now he stood by her side again.
Was his sudden confession back then because he liked her? Or was it because... he wanted to repay her for the harm she had taken for him?
Although she had chosen to forget the past, there was one scene among the nightmarish memory fragments.
She stood in the rain, watching two people embracing, her eyes gradually dimming. The umbrella in her hand fell to the ground, allowing the heavy rain to pour down, washing away her tears.
She couldn't see who the people in front of her were, but she could feel that she loved that person very, very much. Otherwise, her heart wouldn't ache so much that she could barely breathe.
At that time, she didn't know that the young girl was herself, but now she knew.
She even knew... that the person being held in the woman's arms was none other than Han Mo!
So, he hadn't loved her back then; he had someone he liked.
Later, that woman died, and he also died.
After being reborn, he wanted to repay her life-saving grace, so he chose to silently protect her? Somehow, she regretted not keeping the memories of that year, leaving her knowing nothing now and not knowing how to face him.
With this thought, Bai Xi's eyes grew colder as she looked at the man she had loved in her previous life and liked very much in this one. She wondered if this was salvation or pity from the man repaying a debt.
She just felt her mind was in turmoil, unsure of how to face him.
Han Mo was slightly stunned. Seeing Bai Xi's cold and distant eyes again, his heart ached.
What was wrong with her?
She had been fine this morning. They had promised to protect each other, to fear no death, and even decided on a wedding date. Why was she suddenly so indifferent?
This feeling made him more afraid than when she had deliberately angered him before, or when she had deliberately provoked him with the Dark Division Commander.
Back then, her gaze towards him held a sense of detachment, indifference, and disregard.
But now, it was avoidance, fear, and a desire to escape.
He felt a throbbing pain in his chest, but he still nodded gently and said, "Okay, then after we go out, I'll check on you again. You can tell me if you feel any discomfort."
Bai Xi looked at the evident pain in his eyes, yet his lips still held a smile. Her own heart also felt a throbbing pain.
He indulged her so much, even agreeing with her when he was not wrong. Was this truly love? Or was it indulgence out of gratitude?
So, all this time, when he was close to her, he had stopped at the right moment, trying hard to restrain himself, because his heart truly belonged to someone else.
Suddenly, she felt as if a sharp knife had pierced her lungs, a feeling of suffocation.
"No need. I know my own body."
After speaking, she turned directly and walked towards Shen Mingxun.
Han Mo stood frozen on the spot, forgetting to breathe for a long time.
Over there, Shen Mingxun was also surprised to see Bai Xi and Han Mo enter. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed that Bai Xi's condition was not right, and Dr. Han had stepped forward to show concern.
But... after Dr. Han's concern, would their God of War appear with such an expression?
Hadn't they made up the last time they were here? Why had it suddenly turned into this again?
As he pondered this, he couldn't take a full breath and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Bai Xi was slightly startled upon seeing this, "Shen Mingxun, are you alright?"
The moment Shen Mingxun spat blood, his consciousness blurred for a brief instant, but Bai Xi's voice gradually pulled him back to reality. His consciousness, which had been nearing chaos, slowly cleared, "Eldest Miss..."
Seeing that he could still speak, Bai Xi's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, "Don't speak. Rest well. How are you feeling now?"
Shen Mingxun's somewhat dazed eyes slowly focused on Bai Xi, and he said weakly, his voice trembling, "Actually, Dr. Han is quite good. Please, Eldest Miss, don't be angry with Dr. Han, otherwise, I will die with regrets."
If the CP he had invested so much money in ended up breaking up, he would truly die with regrets!
Bai Xi's concern for Shen Mingxun's condition and her anger at the Poison Master of Kui Hall instantly turned into speechless exasperation: "..."
She truly couldn't understand how Shen Mingxun's mind worked.
However, she also gradually regained clarity from his words.
"Die with regrets? So, you wish to die? You don't need to wait for Kui Hall's poison to kill you; I can grant your wish right now."
At these words, the subordinate who had rushed to Shen Mingxun upon entering was startled and immediately said, "Please, Eldest Miss, show mercy. Our commander is just... just... confused by the poison. His mind is unclear, which is why he spoke disrespectfully."
Seeing the honest man kneeling on the ground with a frightened expression, Bai Xi said lightly, "Get up. I know he was just speaking casually, and so am I."
Then, she looked at Han Mo, "A'mo, could you please examine what poison Shen Commander has been afflicted with and if there is a cure?"
Yes, she was the God of War of the Dark Division, not some love-struck young girl. In this situation, why was she thinking about romance and throwing a temper tantrum at Han Mo?
Moreover, she didn't want such convoluted, heart-wrenching plotlines.
Once the immediate matters were resolved, she would have a talk.
If Han Mo's feelings for her were love, then that woman from three hundred years ago was just an ex-girlfriend, and a deceased one at that. Why should she care? If it was to repay a debt, then after he cured her brother, he could leave. That favor was enough; she, Bai Xi, didn't need anything more!
Where did all these inexplicable melodramatic romances come from in this world? Most of them were the troubles of mediocre people.
