Bai Han looked at Han Mo before him and was silent for a moment: "I really can't understand why someone would be willing to sacrifice themselves for someone they have no relation to."
His world was very, very small. Besides himself and the person who brought him sunshine, everyone else in this world was irrelevant to him.
Their emotions, their needs, even their lives, could all be used as bargaining chips for sacrifice.
After speaking, he turned to leave.
But at that moment, his wrist was suddenly grabbed: "You don't need to understand what I do."
He wasn't that great, sacrificing himself for others. The sacrifices he made were only to fulfill Xi'er's wishes.
He could be indifferent, but he knew—she couldn't. If she could sacrifice others to fulfill herself, she wouldn't have met her end in the previous life.
Bai Han was slightly startled, and he subconsciously looked at the person on the bed, frowning slightly: "Awake?"
He didn't dwell on Han Mo's words. After all, everyone in this world was an independent individual, and very few people could achieve mutual understanding. This was true even for partners who relied on each other, parents and children with blood ties, or couples bound by lifelong vows.
Let alone that their relationship of barely being able to sit next to each other was solely due to Little Xi.
Han Mo hadn't slept at all; he could clearly feel everything happening around him.
Last night, around four in the morning, Bai Xi once again suffered a headache, fainted, and her breathing stopped.
When he used the blood jade bracelet to transfer blood to her again, he also applied acupuncture to make her forget about the headache episode. He had done this three times already.
However, after transferring blood to her last night, he felt an unprecedented weakness. His head was dizzy, his vision was chaotic, and he couldn't remember how he left Xi'er's room. He just felt that he couldn't lie beside her in such a weakened state, letting her see him in such a disheveled state.
After leaving the room, he couldn't hold on any longer and finally collapsed in the corridor.
Before he fainted, he managed to walk to Bai Han's door. At the last moment before falling, he knocked on Bai Han's door and then couldn't move an inch.
Bai Han was no longer the Bai Han of the past; he was Han Luo.
Han Luo was an extremely sharp person and naturally sensed the movement outside the door. When he came out, he saw him. After a moment of frowning, he helped him back to his own room.
During this time, all his five senses gradually recovered, but his mind seemed to transcend his body. He was so clearly awake and so lonely, yet completely unable to move, only able to feel time passing minute by minute...
"You will rest here properly today. I will have Aunt Feng prepare some blood-replenishing medicine for you. With your body, you should recover by tomorrow. At least... give Little Xi a perfect wedding."
Even if he were to die after the wedding, this wedding had to be done well. Otherwise, where would Little Xi's dignity be placed? Moreover, he had promised that he would find a way to resolve matters after his departure...
Although he had no trust in Han Mo, he didn't doubt Han Mo's love for Little Xi at all. This could be considered the only bond that allowed the two of them to coexist peacefully and even help each other now.
After speaking, he was about to turn and leave.
Han Mo's grip on his hand tightened again, stopping Bai Han's movement.
Being held, Bai Han raised an eyebrow slightly. His face remained as gentle as ever, but without a hint of a smile: "What else do you have to say?"
Han Mo didn't speak, but he tightly gripped Bai Han's arm and used that force to prop himself up.
The moment he sat up, he felt a dizzying sensation: "There isn't much time left."
His lips parted slightly, but after he sat up, he was so weak that he could barely make a sound.
Bai Han's pupils suddenly dilated, then returned to normal. He frowned and said, "There isn't much time left, but that was your own choice. You don't intend to go see Little Xi like this, do you? What can you do in your current state?"
If he went out like this, Little Xi would surely worry upon seeing him. But from his understanding of Han Mo before, he would never appear before Little Xi in such a disheveled state.
Han Mo didn't answer again, but instead, with great effort, took out two silver needles from his pocket and forcefully inserted them into his head.
A total of seventeen needles were inserted, each faster than the last, and his condition seemed to improve.
Bai Han stared at him, his brows gradually furrowing, and he remained silent.
Although he had never studied medicine, when he was Han Luo, he was inherently sickly. It was precisely because he was frail and often ill that his father sent him to the Bai family to learn strengthening exercises.
Before he went to the Bai family, he had seen many doctors of various kinds and therefore learned some things about medicine.
The methods to rapidly improve one's physical state when extremely weak undoubtedly involved burning one's life force, akin to a final burst of energy before death.
What Han Mo was doing at this moment... was certainly the same.
He hesitated for a second, and then he simply said faintly, "It seems you truly are a madman."
Yes, Han Mo loved Bai Xi deeply.
This was a fact he had known since his previous life, but he was unwilling. Why should the Han family, Bai Xi, and everything else all favor him? So he fought hard for it. The result... was the end he met.
When he died in his previous life, he had let go and only wanted to compensate. So... in this life, he became her elder brother.
Enough. These were all their own choices, and he only needed to protect Little Xi and watch her live safely and smoothly.
After speaking, he turned and walked out of the room.
Outside, Bai Xi and Tong Yao were walking along the corridor.
Bai Xi walked to the staircase and prepared to head towards Han Mo's room.
Since they were going to choose wedding attire, Han Mo should also be involved.
They needed to select two matching and suitable outfits to complete their hard-won wedding.
Tong Yao saw this and immediately grabbed Bai Xi's arm: "What are you doing?"
Bai Xi said, "I'm going to call Han Mo to try on wedding attire together."
When Tong Yao heard this, her bright black eyes swirled in her sockets, and then she said slyly, "Shh, keep your voice down. Don't you know that the bride and groom can't see each other before the wedding? Today you're trying on your wedding dress, and after you've decided, give his brother the measurements. He can go tomorrow!"
After speaking, she even tugged Bai Xi and was about to run: "Today you belong to me. Only I, your childhood friend and best friend, can see you looking the most beautiful in your wedding dress. Let's sneak away now, and don't let your Dr. Han know!"
However, after pulling for a while and not moving her, she thought Bai Xi was unwilling to sneak away with her.
This girl, her romantic experience wasn't good.
Men, you had to keep them waiting, maintain your composure, and be reserved; only then would they value you!
Therefore, today she had to help her Xi'er "torture" Han Mo a bit, to make him care more about her.
The first step was to separate the two of them. Han Mo would definitely call to look for them then, and she had other good ideas.
However, this couldn't be known by Xi'er. Otherwise, if she knew that she intended to "torture" Han Mo, with her personality, she definitely wouldn't agree.
So, she had to use reverse psychology.
Thinking of this, Tong Yao directly turned around and looked at Bai Xi with disdain: "What, can't bear to part? Little Xi'er, don't be so love-struck. Have some backbone, okay? Acting like you miss him like crazy even for a day apart, as your best friend, I'm embarrassed for you!"
Unfortunately, she saw not only Bai Xi, but also... Han Mo!
