Bai Xi saw Bai Han's eyes in the rearview mirror. Those eyes were not looking at her at the moment, but rather forward. "Why can I remember his name, yet I have no memory of what he looks like?"
Bai Han said faintly, "After he healed me, he went to Qingyu City for further studies. You two had only met twice, so it's quite normal not to remember."
Bai Xi frowned slightly. "Qingyu City..."
According to Shen Mingxun, she had saved the City Lord of Qingyu City. This memory was also very vague for her, but it seemed to be slowly recovering now.
Bai Han looked at the rearview mirror and said softly, "Xi'er, you just promised not to think about past events now. Just rest well, and your memory will gradually return. But if you are impatient and really hurt your head, you will only make Mom and me worry."
Bai Xi looked at Bai Han's eyes and said faintly, "I know."
Indeed, today she had experienced two incidents: one where her senses disappeared, and she was almost robbed; the other where she directly fainted, only to recall nothing important.
To recall memories so rashly, let alone whether it would truly cause problems with her brain, if she encountered such situations again, it would be tantamount to putting herself in danger.
Seeing Bai Xi agree, Bai Han's expression improved significantly. "Little Xi, if you don't have anything urgent to do recently, why don't you accompany Mom and me on a trip? It's been a very, very long time since our family last went on a trip together."
Hearing Bai Han's words, Bai Xi suddenly came back to her senses.
Yes, why had she been constantly carrying out missions in the Dark Department and climbing upwards? It was all for the sake of survival, to stand at the peak, protect those she wanted to protect, and allow them to live good lives.
Now that the crisis in the Kui Hall was resolved, her brother's illness was cured, and her mother's health had been regulated, as a daughter, she should indeed accompany her family.
"Okay, then let's go ask Mom where she'd like to travel, and we'll all go together."
Traveling with family was definitely much happier than being tricked into a blind date by Tong Yao.
Seeing Bai Xi's expression relax again, Bai Han also showed a slight smile. "Then it's settled."
The black Maybach drove directly back to the Bai family villa.
Before Bai Xi even entered the villa, she heard her mother's voice. "Yao'er, why hasn't Xiao Xi come back yet? Didn't you say she parted ways with you over two hours ago? Why isn't she back? Where do you think she might have gone... Should I call Commander Shen and ask her to help look for her?"
Her voice gradually became anxious.
Bai Xi frowned unconsciously and pushed the door open as she walked in, her eyes carrying a hint of helplessness. "Mom, I'm not a three-year-old child. Leaving for two hours won't cause any trouble."
In Huaguo, adults are considered missing only after being out of contact for more than two days before a report can be filed with the local security bureau. The Dark Department was inherently above the security bureau, yet her mother was already about to find Shen Mingxun to look for her after she had been gone for only two hours.
If Shen Mingxun received this call, would she not collapse?
Hearing Bai Xi's voice, Lin Yun finally came back to her senses, put down the phone she was holding, and rushed towards her daughter. "Xi'er..."
This action made Bai Xi a little flustered. "Mom, what's wrong?"
Lin Yun didn't speak, but her eyes were slightly red, tears welling up in them, though they did not fall.
How should she say it? She didn't know how to say it.
Her daughter's new husband had died suddenly on their wedding day, and she had fallen into a coma as a result, not eating or drinking, and only waking up after a few days.
She had witnessed the relationship between Han Mo and Bai Xi firsthand; their feelings had moved her. When Bai Qing was confirmed dead back then, seeing that blood-stained jacket, her heart had ached so much that she dared not recall it even now.
If it weren't for her children, Han'er and Xi'er, she might have "left" with Bai Qing when he had the accident.
But why was heaven so cruel to make her daughter endure such a situation again, to feel the pain of a loved one's departure.
Although both Xi'er's doctor and Han'er had said that Xi'er's physical condition was stable and she would be fine, she was still afraid, afraid of losing this daughter. After all, she had already lost "son" Mo'er.
In her heart, Han Mo had already become her son.
It was just... because of Xi'er's current condition, she couldn't even mention him in front of her.
Now, she was conflicted and scared.
Conflicted because: she didn't want Han Mo to be forgotten silently by everyone's memory. After all, Han Mo's love for Bai Xi was evident to her. How could she bear to let this child be let down like this? But because of Bai Xi, she couldn't say or do anything.
Scared because: if Bai Xi remembered everything, would she have the same thoughts as her?
Facing Bai Xi's question, Lin Yun didn't know how to answer, and tears could only fall drop by drop.
Seeing this situation, Bai Xi became even more bewildered. "Mom? What's wrong? Did I do something wrong? Or is there something wrong with your health?"
After speaking, she took her mother's hand and looked her up and down, her eyes also carrying a hint of worry. "I'm just afraid..."
She was afraid of not remembering and letting Han Mo down, but she was even more afraid of not being able to bear it if she did.
Bai Han said faintly, "Mom is also worried about you. Your health has just recovered, and you're running around outside by yourself. If I hadn't come to find you and brought you back today, you would probably be in the hospital now. Where would we find you? What if you had encountered not a kind person, but a bad one, then what?"
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow. "I came back on my own after waking up in the hospital. As for encountering bad people, I was only unconscious for about ten minutes, and by the time I woke up, the bad guys were easily dealt with by me."
Moreover, she had also thought about it. The reason she had relaxed before was because she had heard her brother's voice. If it hadn't been for the sudden relaxation, and if her brother hadn't been steadily holding her as he carried her back to the car, she would likely have woken up earlier. How could ordinary bad guys be her match?
More importantly, from now on, even if she wasn't going on important business, she wouldn't dismiss everyone following behind her.
Bai Han directly raised his hand and flicked Bai Xi on the head. "So, you're still insistent on not changing, right?"
Bai Xi was not someone who was afraid of pain. Being flicked now, she could actually feel that her brother had not used any force. This flick felt like a mosquito bite to her.
However, it was much happier and sweeter than a mosquito bite.
She reached up to cover the blissful "mosquito bite," a gentle smile on her face. "Alright, I know I was wrong. I definitely won't make Brother and Mom worry again next time."
She couldn't recall what important thing she was supposed to be doing, but her loved ones were right in front of her... They needed her company and care. Hadn't her original intention for working so hard been to let these two people in front of her live peacefully and happily? Yet now, she was making them worry about her.
It was truly inexcusable.
Bai Xi reached out and hugged her mother, soothing her unease and worry. "Mom, since there's nothing much going on in the Dark Department, why don't we all go on a trip as a family?"
