Bai Xi originally intended to take Tong Yao to her former room, but upon opening it, she discovered... it had become a storage room, filled with memories of her parents and brother.
Tong Yao exclaimed excitedly, "Xi'er, I knew you wouldn't die! They all said you were dead back then, but I never believed it. Now you're finally back."
Bai Xi looked at Tong Yao and smiled, "Yes, I'm back."
Dead?
If one were to be precise, she should have died once.
The moment she fell off the cliff, she should have been dead. But at that instant, someone saved her and she even awakened an extraordinary combat power beyond ordinary people.
The man wore a black half-mask, obscuring his face. But she remembered he had a crescent-shaped scar on his wrist and possessed excellent medical skills. If that man hadn't saved her, taken care of her, and at her request, sent her to the dark division where her father had once served, she would likely have become just a pile of bones at the bottom of the cliff by now.
Her current status as the God of War in the dark division, seemingly glorious, was actually built upon countless fallen souls.
Tong Yao noticed Bai Xi's sudden change in mood, mistakenly believing Bai Xi was upset about Zhou Wen. "Xi'er, don't bother with that scumbag Zhou Wen. Let him get engaged, let him dote on his little white flower. I'll introduce you to someone better!"
"Introduce what? Men?" Bai Xi raised an eyebrow slightly at the remark. "Then you'd best keep them for yourself."
She didn't reject men, but they were certainly not a necessity in her life.
Seeing no hint of sadness on Bai Xi's face, Tong Yao realized she had misunderstood. "You can't sleep in this room tonight. The other rooms have been messed up by those people. If you sleep in them, you might get a skin disease. Why don't you come to my place tonight to rest? We can have a good chat!"
A best friend, a best friend – how could they not sleep in the same bed?
Bai Xi glanced around.
Indeed, this house had been occupied by those people for too long, and a disgusting aura permeated everywhere. It was time for a thorough cleaning, but as for a heart-to-heart chat, it would have to wait: "Tonight won't work, how about another day..."
Her brother was still in the hospital. Although she had found the best caregiver for him, she was still worried.
Before she could finish speaking, a man in a fitted outfit approached. "God Bai, Commander Shen just sent a message saying your brother had an accident at the hospital!"
Bai Xi's eyes darkened slightly, and she immediately said, "To the hospital."
Tong Yao blinked in surprise, then quickly followed. "Xiao Xi, wait for me! We'll go see Brother Xiao Han together!"
At the hospital.
A slender man stood by the windowsill, gazing at the moon outside. The night breeze lifted his hair, and his frail body seemed to sway precariously in the moonlight.
The man had a refined, handsome face. His pale complexion held a pure, broken beauty. He stood by the window, his head slightly turned towards the brilliant moon in the sky, captivatingly beautiful and heartbreaking.
The two caregivers were quite frightened. One of them said, "Sir, please come down!"
The other quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, please come down!"
This was a VIP ward patient. If anything happened to him, they couldn't afford to compensate.
Clearly, the shouts of these two startled him. He looked at them with a trace of fear and apprehension, clutching his head tightly. "No, no, don't come near me, don't come near me."
Seeing the agitated figure on the verge of falling, the two caregivers were too terrified to move.
Only when the two caregivers made no move to approach did the man on the windowsill calm down slightly. He looked up at the moonlight again, a smile gracing his lips. "Dad is dead, Xi'er is dead, and Mom doesn't want me anymore. Sister Lian'er said if I jump to the moon, I can see them. I'm going to find them now!"
With that, he prepared to jump.
When Bai Xi arrived, she saw this scene and her heart leaped in shock!
She stood below, while Bai Han was on the sixteenth floor and had already begun to fall. With her current abilities, she wouldn't have time to rescue him. "Brother!"
Tong Yao also covered her mouth in shock, her large eyes wide with terror as she watched the figure plummeting from the height.
