The night in Haidao City was free from the scorching sun, and a gentle breeze swept across, bringing a sense of refreshment.
Bai Xi stood on the beach, gazing at the starry sky above, her heart at peace.
Bai Han stood beside her, his brow furrowed slightly, "You say He Mu is Han Mo?"
Bai Xi softly replied, "Mm."
Bai Han frowned, "Yes, he does resemble Han Mo somewhat, but how can he prove it?"
Bai Xi said indifferently, "He has already admitted it, and... he knows everything about Han Mo and me."
Bai Han's brow deepened, "Are you sure it's everything?"
Bai Xi looked up at Bai Han, her eyes serious, "If I say I'm sure, will you still doubt me?"
Bai Han clenched his fists involuntarily, a trace of anger in his clear, moist eyes, "Xiao Xi, have you ever considered that if he's not Han Mo, then he's come prepared. He would naturally have investigated everything about you and Han Mo! Do you know... Chen Yi is dead."
Chen Yi's collapse in the hotel lobby was common knowledge.
He had been rushed to the Haidao City hospital for three hours of rescue, but ultimately, his life could not be saved, and he died in the hospital.
He had met Chen Yi's colleagues and also heard that before Chen Yi's death, he had spoken to Bai Xi about He Mu, and also about He Mu's drastic change in personality.
He had performed a divination at that time, but he saw nothing, only a dark void.
Ever since he possessed this ability from the Han family, he had known that people with this ability could not be used against each other.
It was as if Han Mo could not control him with his eyes, and he could not see Han Mo's future with his own subjective will. Therefore, when he could not see through He Mu, he had already sensed his abnormality and danger.
But for him to believe He Mu was Han Mo, he felt something was not quite right.
"Even if he is Han Mo, do you think Chen Yi's death is related to him? Why did he silence him?"
Everything was becoming increasingly complex and confusing. Even he began to doubt what kind of identity and role Han Mo played in these matters, especially the Han Mo who had returned from the dead.
When Bai Xi heard Bai Han say this, her clear eyes suddenly turned somewhat sharp, "Han Luo, I've already lost him once. I don't want to lose him a second time!"
When Bai Han heard the name Han Luo, his heart ached slightly.
Yes, in her heart, he was always Han Luo, and Han Mo... even with a change in time, identity, and name, he was still Han Mo, the one she truly could not let go of.
He took a deep breath, "Since you choose to believe him, then believe him. But you don't need to bother arranging for someone to send me back. I only want to stay in Haidao City for a vacation now and don't want to go back."
Bai Xi frowned, "I thought you were willing to go back to protect Mom."
Bai Han gave a cold smile, a rather chilling one, "After I recovered my memories, the only person I want to protect is you."
Bai Xi frowned, her gaze hardening slightly, "I don't need your protection. But if you cannot adapt to the identity of Bai Han, then I will have to make you stay away from me and Mom."
Bai Han knew that Bai Xi wanted to send him away. He felt a dull ache in his chest, but the smile on his face did not change at all, "Of course, I will dedicate myself to playing my role. But Xiao Xi, don't forget, besides being Han Mo's wife, you are also my sister, Lin Yun's daughter."
Bai Xi said coldly, "I don't need you to remind me."
Bai Han looked at the cold eyes before him, then lowered his gaze slightly and said, "Since you say you don't need my reminder, then I will go back to the hotel now. But I hope... the God of War will remain vigilant towards everyone at all times, including me!"
With that, he turned and left.
Bai Xi watched Bai Han's receding back, her gaze deepening slightly. Her lips moved gently, but no sound came out. The slight movement of her lips seemed to say, "I'm sorry."
She lay back on the beach chair, the moonlight pouring down, casting upon her white dress, making her look exceptionally graceful and languid. She closed her eyes gently.
A few minutes later, she felt someone approaching and involuntarily opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, the approaching person was clearly startled, instinctively taking two steps back. Because she was wearing slippers, she almost tripped over the sand.
Bai Xi looked at the person before her and raised an eyebrow slightly, "Little one, have you gotten lost from your family?"
The person before her was a little girl of about seven or eight years old. She was carrying a beautiful rabbit lantern and ran over. Hearing Bai Xi speak to her, a blush spread across her cheeks, making her look very shy. She lowered her head slightly and extended the hand not holding the lantern, clenching it into a fist, "Miss, someone asked me to give this to you."
Such a simple sentence, as if it had used all her strength.
Bai Xi looked at the adorable child before her, her smile softening considerably. She pretended to be curious and placed her hand under the child's small hands, "What is it?"
The girl opened her hand, and a small star folded from paper fell into Bai Xi's palm, "This is what that person asked me to give you. I'm leaving!"
With that, she turned and ran, as nimble and cute as the rabbit lantern in her hand.
Bai Xi watched the girl's disappearing back, chuckled softly, and then looked at the star in her palm.
It was a bright red star, adorned with countless gold flakes. As it swayed, it shimmered and sparkled in the moonlight, looking very beautiful. At the front of the star, a small English word was written in black water-based pen: "open!"
Bai Xi hesitated for a moment, then gently unfolded the folded star. Inside, a line of text was written: "Two hundred meters away, on Coastal Avenue, be there or be square."
Looking at the familiar paper of the note, she curved her lips slightly.
The pedestrian walkway along Coastal Avenue was a long seaside corridor. From here, one could overlook the sea surface and the distant lighthouse.
She looked left and right but did not see the person she was waiting for.
Just as she was wondering, a sharp whistling sound came from not far away, followed by a loud explosion. The previously quiet and dark sea surface became exceptionally bright in an instant, its light spilling onto the water, like falling stars, plunging into the sea and merging together.
Fireworks...
As Bai Xi was momentarily stunned, more fireworks soared into the sky, illuminating almost the entire night sky. They bloomed one after another, in clusters, bright and dazzling.
The scene before her was undeniably beautiful and dreamlike, bringing a sense of exhilaration.
And not far away, a man walked over slowly, his gaze placid. The fireworks in the sky illuminated his figure and cast shadows on the lenses of his metal-rimmed glasses.
That person was none other than He Mu.
