Tong Yao's face was filled with disbelief. "Last time at the Tong family, he was embarrassed, I can understand that, after all, he was with familiar people, and it wouldn't be easy to explain to Aunt Lin and Brother Bai Han if he took advantage of the situation. But this time you two went on a trip together, and you didn't even seize such a good opportunity."
Bai Xi was contemplating the relationship between Han Mo and herself, so she didn't pay much attention to what Tong Yao was saying.
Tong Yao thought seriously for a while and looked at Bai Xi. "By the way, Doctor Han must be sick!"
Bai Xi looked at Tong Yao suspiciously. "He's sick? What kind of sickness? How do you know?"
Tong Yao revealed a mischievous smile. "I mean, does he have some kind of hidden ailment in that department!"
Bai Xi was speechless. "No."
Although nothing had really happened between them, she could feel his passion when he was close to her, and… occasionally, she could vaguely sense his abruptness.
Tong Yao looked at Bai Xi suspiciously again. "He's not sick, could it be you?"
Bai Xi was utterly speechless. "So, one of us has to be sick for the relationship to make sense, right?"
Tong Yao raised an eyebrow and said very seriously, "Otherwise? Otherwise, it's inexplicable."
Bai Xi raised her hand again and flicked Tong Yao's forehead. "I'm very healthy, Doctor Han is also very healthy, it's just that some things have to happen naturally, not willfully."
Tong Yao's smile widened when she heard Bai Xi say "naturally". "Oh my, Xi'er, are you a time traveler from ancient times? 'Naturally', do you mean you plan to wait until after marriage to do that? Aren't you afraid your sizes won't match, or that he won't have enough stamina, and you'll be unhappy after marriage?"
Bai Xi was extremely speechless, feeling that Tong Yao's car had already hit the expressway. "Can you think of something that isn't so… colorful in your mind?"
Tong Yao was still laughing. "You two adults, are you having a platonic romance? Besides, your mother likes him very much. If he dares to bully you, I don't even need to step in for you… You're not at a disadvantage."
Bai Xi frowned. "Actually, there's something I want to ask you?"
Tong Yao immediately said seriously, "Don't worry, it won't hurt much!"
After saying that, she even gave a thumbs-up.
Bai Xi was speechless, her eyes slightly cold. "If you can't speak properly, then let's just go to sleep now."
After saying that, she directly turned over and went to sleep.
Tong Yao reached out and nudged Bai Xi again, coaxing and acting cute. "Alright, alright, Xi'er, don't be angry. I'll speak properly, properly. You say it, I'm listening very seriously now, very seriously!"
Bai Xi glanced at her and said faintly, "This time when I went to Shangyang, I met a man…"
Tong Yao was stunned. "Are you saying you've fallen for someone else?"
Bai Xi said faintly, "That man's personality is a bit like yours, and you two would be quite compatible. Shall I introduce you to him? He's very refined-looking, the type you would like."
Tong Yao raised an eyebrow. "Xi'er, are you teasing me again? Don't you know who I like?"
Bai Xi said faintly, "I know."
Tong Yao had her sights set on her brother. As long as she wasn't blind, she could tell. But…
"Based on my understanding of you before, my brother isn't the type you like. How could you like my brother?"
Tong Yao was slightly stunned and lay down flat, looking at the ceiling. "Actually, I don't know either. Initially, I just thought he was very handsome, but slowly… I felt that he could control your emotions, making you unconsciously want to get close to him, want to protect him. You'd have a faster heartbeat for him, you'd plan your future all with him in it. This is probably love."
Love?
Bai Xi remained silent, merely gazing at the smooth ceiling with Tong Yao.
Meanwhile, in Bai Han's room.
Bai Han stood by the window, holding a glass of iced whiskey, and looked at the lights outside. "Why did Doctor Han come to my room so late at night? Could it be that you have some ill intentions towards me?"
Han Mo said faintly, "Don't you know why I'm here?"
Bai Han smiled elegantly. "Doctor Han, your words are too strange. I'm not a parasite in Doctor Han's stomach, so how would I know what Doctor Han is thinking?"
Han Mo walked forward directly, picked up the thoroughly washed wine glass, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and added an ice ball. "If you didn't know I was coming, why would you have an extra wine glass prepared? Although you can't see what's in my heart, you can manipulate people's minds. Otherwise, wouldn't that be a disservice to your reputation as the second young master of the Han family?"
Bai Han swirled the wine glass in his hand. The round ice ball hit the rim of the glass, making a crisp sound. "I said, I am just Bai Han now."
Han Mo also picked up his wine glass and took a sip. The intensity of the whiskey, combined with the coldness of the ice, rolled into his mouth, carrying a slight stimulating taste. "Now you are, but who were you then?"
Bai Han put down the wine glass, which was already empty. "Why ask what you already know."
Han Mo raised an eyebrow. "Good, since you say you are just Bai Han now, then you should know that Xi'er is your biological sister. You had better not do anything to harm her."
Bai Han chuckled. "Do you know that with you around, she will be in even greater danger?"
Han Mo frowned. "What do you mean? Have you found something out?"
Bai Han poured himself another glass of wine. "Exactly what it sounds like. I'll say it again, if you want Xi'er to be happy, then leave her, the further the better."
Han Mo's eyes held a hint of coldness. "What exactly did you see?"
Bai Han did not answer his question, but quietly drank his wine.
Words he had not spoken in his previous life, how could he possibly utter them in this one.
He had intended to bury those matters forever, but unexpectedly… he had reincarnated again, and moreover… he had become her elder brother.
Ha, this was quite in line with his wish before he died in his previous life.
"If you live happily ever after with her, I will be uncomfortable. I want you to suffer, to be sad, to be lonely, forever! So, I'll say it again, leave her, leave Xi'er!"
Han Mo's eyes were filled with icy sharpness. "You can try. I'll make you die once more."
Bai Han seemed to have already guessed the answer and smiled faintly. "Ha, you're still the same as before. However, it's fine if you make a move now, it actually suits my wishes. After all, if you personally kill Xi'er's brother, do you think there's still a possibility for you to be with her?"
Han Mo frowned.
Regardless of whether it was the former Han Luo or the current Bai Han, because he could see things that others couldn't, he also harbored things that others could hardly comprehend.
His eyes couldn't control his actions, and his calculations couldn't dictate his circumstances.
As long as he didn't harm Xi'er, he didn't mind how Bai Han targeted him. "So, you specifically went to the Tong family last time to guide me to Shangyang, just to let me know that Xi'er's corpse had been stolen and was suppressed in the Zhulin mountain range?"
At these words, Bai Han's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes deepened. The elegant, smiling face he had maintained lost all its mirth at that moment.
