Bai Xi suddenly appeared before two young girls. Startled, the girls were momentarily at a loss for words.
"Strange, wasn't this beautiful young lady just standing by the fence? How did she suddenly appear in front of them? Was their memory playing tricks on them, or had they... briefly lost their memory?"
"Moreover... her serious and earnest demeanor inexplicably sent shivers down their spines."
"She looked like a cool and elegant beauty from afar, but up close, why did she make them feel so scared?"
Bai Xi seemed to realize that her sudden appearance had startled the two young girls. She curved her lips slightly, trying to soften her gaze as much as possible. "I overheard you saying that you saw me and my boyfriend here before, is that right?"
Upon hearing Bai Xi's words, the two girls finally snapped back to attention, their faces showing a hint of embarrassment.
After all, gossiping about someone's private affairs behind their back wasn't a good thing. Moreover, they had both expressed a hint of "coveting" the other person's boyfriend in their words.
The short-haired girl said, "Um, miss, sorry, we shouldn't have been talking about you."
The girl with the bun hairstyle added, "Yes, yes. When I saw you before, I thought you were a perfect match. What I said earlier was just a blessing, nothing else."
Bai Xi waved her hand. "No, no, I don't intend to scold you. Actually, I had a... car accident, so my memory is a bit jumbled. I just wanted to confirm with you if you had seen me here before, with my boyfriend? I want to regain my memory."
She couldn't say that she had amnesia because she was pursuing the leader of the Kui Hall. After all, ordinary people probably didn't know about the existence of the Kui Hall, and it would be difficult to explain.
Hearing Bai Xi say this, the two girls finally relaxed.
The short-haired girl looked at Bai Xi with a hint of friendly concern in her eyes. "Miss, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Bai Xi smiled slightly at the sudden concern from the short-haired girl. "I'm fine, everything is fine. I just haven't recovered some memories yet, and I need a little time."
The short-haired girl immediately looked at the girl with the bun. "Xi Xi, say what you saw. Let's help this beautiful young lady."
The girl with the bun nodded immediately. "Miss, how can I help you?"
Seeing the cooperative and adorable young girl before her, Bai Xi's smile gradually reached her eyes. "I just want to know when you saw me here? What did the person beside me look like? And what happened at that time?"
The girl with the bun said, "It was about a month ago. There was a man standing beside you, wearing a trench coat and metal-rimmed glasses. The wind picked up, and he took off his trench coat and draped it over you. His movements were very gentle."
Trench coat, metal-rimmed glasses?
He Mu's appearance from earlier inexplicably flashed in her mind.
Thinking of this, she frowned slightly.
Her intuition told her that this matter had nothing to do with He Mu, but the person she saw in her mind, consistent with the girl's description, was only He Mu.
"Can you describe my boyfriend's appearance in more detail?"
Bai Xi asked the girl with the bun again.
The girl with the bun could sense that Bai Xi desperately wanted to remember that person, so she began to recall carefully. "His skin was very fair, and his facial features were exquisite. When he looked at you, he was very gentle, but when he looked at others, he became suddenly indifferent... Then I saw the reflection in his glasses."
Although she really wanted to help the beautiful older sister in front of her, she had only seen them once that night, so this was all she could remember.
Listening to the girl's description, Bai Xi frowned again.
The description still only brought He Mu to her mind.
Bai Xi thought seriously, then said, "How tall was he, was he fat or thin?"
The girl with the bun remembered Han Mo draping his trench coat over Bai Xi. She gestured with her hand, "He should be this much taller than you. When he was putting the coat on you, you were wearing high heels, and your head was at his shoulder level. He didn't seem fat or thin, his build was very proportionate. We friends even teased that such a figure made people drool..."
Halfway through, the girl realized she had said the wrong thing and awkwardly added, "Sorry, it was just simple admiration, admiration for beautiful things."
Bai Xi wasn't angry at all. Seeing her embarrassment, she smiled even more gently.
Seeing that Bai Xi wasn't angry and was even smiling at her, the girl with the bun felt that this older sister was truly gentle. She started to recall what she remembered with effort again. "His face looked lean, but he didn't seem frail... Oh, right, when we left, I heard you call him... Dr. Han!"
When Bai Xi heard the words "Dr. Han," she felt her heart contract violently. A pain inexplicably began to spread from her chest, gradually reaching her limbs and bones, and then every corner of her body.
She placed her hand on her chest, her breathing becoming uneven.
Dr. Han, Dr. Han, Han... Mu?
She vaguely grasped such a name. As she grasped the name, a sharp pain hit her head again, her senses began to fade, and she felt herself swaying.
Seeing Bai Xi's condition, the two girls were also terrified. They quickly stepped forward to support her, their eyes showing fear. "Miss, are you okay?"
"Miss, should we call an ambulance for you!"
Being young, the two girls were flustered and their eyes turned red.
Bai Xi's intuition told her not to think anymore, because doing so would make her feel more and more uncomfortable and in pain.
But it seemed like specks of light were condensing before her eyes, vaguely forming the silhouette of a person. She wanted to try, to try and see what this speck of light would eventually form!
Reason told her not to.
But her heart told her that she wanted to know! She wanted to know who that man was, to see his appearance clearly, and to know what her relationship with him was!
Just then, a man suddenly rushed over and tightly embraced Bai Xi, who was holding her head. He said loudly in her ear, "Xiao Xi, relax, don't think about it anymore, don't think about it!"
Bai Xi's senses were fading. Just as she was about to lose consciousness, she felt herself being embraced. A voice, seemingly far away yet also very close, gradually brought her back. "Ge..."
That's right, she was very familiar with this voice; it was Bai Han.
Upon hearing Bai Han's voice, her thoughts were interrupted, the pain gradually disappeared, and all her strength vanished with the pain. She directly fell into a state of chaos. The shadow that was about to form in her mind slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Bai Han held Bai Xi tightly, his eyes filled with heartache. His usually gentle eyes were now terrifying.
Heh, Han Mu, Han Mu, you made your decision easily, but you underestimated Xiao Xi's love for you.
If you could still feel something now, would you feel heartbroken for her?
