Compared to Bai Xi, who had just woken up, Tong Yao didn't seem to be sleeping very deeply either.
Vaguely, she felt something gently bump into her and woke up. Rubbing her groggy eyes, she looked at Bai Xi, "Xi'er..."
Her soft murmur carried the delirium of sleep.
Bai Xi responded softly, "Mm, why are you sleeping here?"
Tong Yao rubbed her eyes and yawned, "I was just too tired, so I..."
These past few days, she and Aunt Lin Yun had been guarding Bai Xi, hoping she would wake up soon. Lin Yun's health was not good, so she naturally couldn't stay here all the time. Therefore, as a young, strong person and Bai Xi's number one best friend, she naturally had to bear more responsibility.
She had been very clear in the first half of the night, so how did she fall asleep while keeping watch?
Wait... guarding Bai Xi until she woke up.
And the person talking to her just now was...
"Xi'er!"
Her voice suddenly went up an octave.
The room was already quiet, and with Bai Xi's extremely sharp senses, and both of them on the same bed, their distance was not far. Tong Yao's unusually abrupt voice made Bai Xi's eardrums feel a stinging pain.
She instinctively covered her ears and frowned, "If you hadn't called my name, I would have thought you saw a ghost!"
Was this girl crazy?
She wasn't a ghost, nor a ferocious beast. Why was she screaming so terrifyingly, making her almost think she had mutated.
Tong Yao seemed overjoyed, "You still remember me!"
Bai Xi frowned, "Why wouldn't I remember you?"
Tong Yao then asked, "Do you still remember why you fainted?"
After saying that, she suddenly fell silent.
Bai Xi frowned, as if recalling, "I..."
Seeing this, Tong Yao immediately interrupted her memory, "If you can't remember clearly, then forget it. Don't think about it."
Bai Xi looked at her, finding it very strange.
Tong Yao suddenly fell silent again, accompanied by tears falling one by one. Drop by drop, crystal clear, they rolled down Tong Yao's cheeks and landed on Bai Xi's large bed.
Bai Xi stared at Tong Yao, stunned, and felt a little at a loss, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?"
Had her tone been too harsh just now? Or... had she said something excessive? It didn't seem so. But... why was Tong Yao crying?
Tong Yao didn't respond, continuing to shed tears.
Bai Xi immediately raised her hand and gently tried to wipe away the tears from her cheeks, "Alright, alright, don't cry. It's my fault... I didn't speak properly just now."
In the Dark Department, many people said she looked dangerous.
She used to think it was because of her decisive methods that made them fearful. Now, it seemed... was her expression really a bit eerie?
As a result, as she wiped away her tears, Tong Yao cried even louder. She threw her arms around Bai Xi, sobbing loudly, "Wuwuwuwu, you're finally awake. You scared me to death. You're finally awake!"
Bai Xi felt completely bewildered.
Finally awake? Had she been asleep for a long time?
But why?
She wanted to recall, but her head started to ache. She couldn't remember anything that happened before she fell asleep.
Just then, Bai Han entered, holding a porcelain bowl, "Miss Tong, please stop crying. Little Xi is injured and needs to rest. If you keep crying like this, she might get a headache again."
As soon as he said that, Tong Yao snapped back to reality. She quickly let go of Bai Xi and forcefully wiped her tears with her hand, "Look at me, this temper. I forget things when I get excited. I'm sorry, Xi'er. I'll go tell Aunt Lin now. Aunt Lin has been very worried about you these past two days, and her health has been suffering. I'll go see her first. Brother Bai Han will take care of you here. You rest well."
After speaking, she turned and left.
However, as she left, a glimmer flashed in her beautiful eyes, as if hiding some information.
Bai Xi frowned slightly at her eyes but didn't call her back.
After Tong Yao left, Bai Han sat down in the spot where Tong Yao had been sleeping, "Little Xi, you've been asleep for several days. Are you hungry? Even if you feel starving now, you can't eat a lot, or your stomach might feel uncomfortable. How about starting with some shredded meat congee? Once it digests, I'll get you something else you like, okay?"
As he spoke, he handed over the porcelain bowl in his hand.
The exquisite white porcelain bowl contained a bowl of steaming shredded meat congee.
The pure white rice grains looked soft and sticky, carrying the unique fragrance of rice. Golden shredded meat was spread over the white porridge, with a hint of savory saltiness. It was good for the stomach without being harmful, truly a good thing.
Bai Xi hadn't felt hungry, but looking at the congee, her stomach grumbled uncontrollably.
She felt a little embarrassed and took the congee from Bai Han's hand, "Thanks, Brother."
Bai Han looked at her with a smile, "We're siblings, why thank me."
After a bowl of congee, her body felt warm, and she even felt very comfortable. "Brother, Yao Yao mentioned that I slept for a long time. Did something happen? I can't seem to remember."
Bai Han reached out and gently tapped Bai Xi's forehead, "You still have the nerve to say that."
The force was neither too light nor too heavy, just enough to cause a slight pain without harming her.
It was indeed as Han Mo had said. He had used his eyes to alter Little Xi's memory. Some memories needed to be generated slowly, so Bai Xi's memory stability would require at least half a month to a month.
After a month, it would be stable.
Only in this way... could Little Xi live a carefree life.
He had also ordered Qing Yu's people to secretly erase the marriage registration.
Nothing related to Han Mo would be mentioned in front of her.
Bai Xi was tapped and instinctively reached up to gently rub her forehead, "Brother, if you want to say it, say it. If not, then don't. Don't hit me. You know I'm the God of War of the Dark Department. Unless I allow it, no one can harm me. Don't bully me just because you're my brother."
Bai Han looked at Bai Xi dotingly and asked, "Do you remember Black Gold Academy?"
"Black Gold Academy?"
Bai Xi thought seriously and seemed to recall something.
Before, to capture the Hall Master of the Kui Hall, she had infiltrated Black Gold Academy undercover, and then... she seemed to have captured him.
However, she seemed to have devised a grand plan to lure the Hall Master of the Kui Hall into her trap. She also received help from the principal of Black Gold Academy and two outstanding students. There seemed to be someone else, but who was it... And then what happened?
"I remember, I think I captured the Hall Master of the Kui Hall!"
Bai Han said faintly, "Yes, you did capture the Hall Master of the Kui Hall. However, you put yourself in danger and set up a big trap. The person was captured, but you were also severely injured, including your head."
As soon as he said this, Bai Xi instinctively reached up and pressed her temple, with a slight force, "My head was injured? No wonder I always feel like I've forgotten something very important, but no matter how hard I try to think, I can't remember what it is."
Bai Han reached out and gently pulled down her hand on her temple, "Since you can't remember, then don't think about it. The doctor who examined you before said that although it was an external injury, your memory might be confused for a short period, but it will gradually become clearer. However, if you force yourself to think, it will cause secondary damage to your brain."
