I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 727: Chapter 735 Life Is Just So Wonderful

Because the food was indeed delicious, and Xu Yan hadn’t tasted his sister’s cooking in a very long time, it was a flavor he couldn’t replicate no matter how he tried.

After the meal, Bai Zhi brought out digestive tea for them to drink. Xu Yan cradled the teacup, sitting with them in the courtyard, gazing at the stars.

“School is about to start, right? Are you all staying in the boarding school?”

Xu Yan was the first to bring up the topic, curiously looking at them.

“Bai Yu and I will be staying at school, Xingxing and Wu Wa won’t be boarding. They’ll go home,” Bai Fei was the first to answer, not wanting to let the conversation falter.

“The first time I came here, I was actually really disheveled, without food, dirty and wretched like a refugee. It was Bai Zhi who gave me a set of clothes and two steamed buns.”

And those were really just two steamed buns. At that time, Bai Zhi couldn’t spare anything extra.

Those two buns were her lunch.

That was the first act of kindness Xu Yan encountered here. However, back then, he didn’t know that she was the sister he had been searching for. At that time, Bai Zhi did not have the memories of them being siblings.

Life is so wonderful, “It was only today, when I saw that big pit behind us, that I remembered. The place I’ve been searching for so long was right here. It’s just that I never realized it.”

Xu Yan wondered if he knew then that the little girl was his sister, would he have left or stayed.

He thought he probably would have left anyway because back then he was desperate to find a way out for himself. He needed to be able to fend for himself before he could find his sister.

“Hehe,” Bai Zhi smiled but didn’t speak.

Yes, life is so strange, who could have known that Xu Yan could also come here, and even Nan Xi, the so-called original author. The one who thought he could master everything was just deceiving himself.

“By the way, what’s this about Nan Xi talking about time travel and rebirth? Has she gone mad?”

Bai Fei remembered what Bai Zhi had just mentioned, still finding it unbelievable up to now. Clearly, she understood both words but couldn’t quite grasp their combined meaning.

“She must be mad. I feel she’s delirious. Maybe she thinks that way she won’t have to be punished,” Bai Zhi nodded. Bai Fei must be crazy. Her future days wouldn’t be easy either.

As for Bai Yu, since he was willing to sacrifice everything for his sister, decades of prison awaited him.

“Let’s not talk about her craziness. Ah Zhi, even if she wants to see you later, don’t agree.”

Wu Wa was still a bit scared to this day. If Ah Zhi really got arrested, with Grandpa Bai not around, they had no idea what to do.

“Okay, I know, don’t worry. It’s about time for everyone to rest early.”

Bai Zhi smiled at them. Actually, she never really considered not agreeing.

After all, how could she understand their intentions unless she cleared things up?

That night, Xu Yan went home with Bai Xiang to stay there, while Bai Fei stayed at home with Wu Wa and Bai Zhi.

Bai Fei watched their retreating backs, unsure of what she was thinking.

“Bai Fei, time to wash up.”

Wu Wa called out to her from the doorway. Bai Fei quickly came back to her senses.

“Do you think I should do something when my mom comes back?”

Bai Fei really didn’t know how to face her mother. To say that there was no resentment was impossible; her body hadn’t fully recovered yet, and she still couldn’t eat much.

Additionally, her body was weak, and she couldn’t run around carelessly anymore.

She felt like she had lost her original self.

The greatest responsibility lay with her, but she still felt a tinge of resentment towards her mother.

All she wanted now was to bring a bit of light to her mother, who was shrouded in darkness.

“How did Cousin respond?”

Bai Zhi didn’t answer but deflected the topic instead.

If it were up to Bai Zhi, such a betrayal was unforgivable, even if it was to support her maternal family rather than betraying the Bai Family.

Since she had betrayed them, she should not expect Bai Zhi to forgive her; of course, Bai Fei’s perspective was not the same, and one shouldn’t generalize everyone’s opinions.

After all, Aunt had once loved Cousin.

“He said he couldn’t forgive her.” Bai Fei felt pained just thinking about it. “You don’t know how hard my dad has been working lately, even offering money as compensation, just to get the victim’s forgiveness letter sooner, so she can come home earlier.”

Even so, she could feel her dad mention the future more and more frequently.

“Isn’t that good?”

Bai Zhi naturally would not meddle in their family affairs; how they chose to resolve their issues was their business. Nowadays, Bai Zhi wouldn’t put herself in the position of a family member.

“It’s not good; my dad no longer talks about where our family will go for fun, and he doesn’t talk about his and my mom’s future either. He said maybe their relationship is beyond repair.”

Bai Fei’s tears fell as she thought of this, and she laid her head on the table, crying sadly.

“Xingxing, I really blame my mom. Because of her, my hair has thinned, and my body’s a mess. But she’s still my mom.”

Even if her mother had caused her health issues, she was still her mother.

“She’s my mom, the one who gave birth to me and raised me, Dad’s wife. If they had such a good relationship, why did they have to come to this point?”

Bai Fei truly didn’t understand. “Dad said Mom once wanted to sell information to someone, but don’t we in the Bai Family have no secrets? Isn’t our only secret that we have a master? What’s there that can’t be talked about?

Besides, she hasn’t even…”

“Bai Fei!”

Bai Zhi interrupted sharply before Bai Fei could finish, her face darkening as she spoke loudly.

“So what you’re saying is, if someone offered you something tempting, you would betray that secret?”

In that moment, Bai Zhi’s heart sank; she could understand Bai Fei’s feelings. That was her mother; it was impossible for her to have no feelings at all.

But the words Bai Fei spoke were deeply disappointing. What does it mean to not have told anyone yet, saying there’s nothing that can’t be spoken of?

“Of course not; I was just caught up in the moment,” Bai Fei said, startled, forgetting to wipe away her tears. “Please, keep your voice down. What I mean is, how could my dad want to leave my mom over just this one mistake?”

Weren’t they a family? Weren’t they supposed to be understanding and forgiving of each other? How could it all just end like this?

At that moment, Bai Zhi finally understood why Grandpa and the others didn’t want to tell Bai Fei those things.

Not only to protect her but also because she was too emotional; they feared she might spill the secrets just like that.

“That’s their business as adults. All you need to do is respect their decision.”

In the end, Bai Zhi said nothing more. Speaking further might well have the opposite effect.

“How can you say that, they’re my parents and I’m really worried—please help me figure something out!”

Bai Fei grabbed Bai Zhi’s hand, speaking anxiously. “I can’t do anything either; it’s their matter.”
