Bai Han looked at his sister, opening his arms wide with the same tenderness as when she was little.
Bai Xi felt a warmth spread through her heart, her eyes beginning to redden. Still, she walked over and hugged him, saying, "I'm not a child anymore."
Bai Han smiled faintly, his smile possessing a pale, fragile beauty. He gently patted her back, murmuring, "In my heart, you will always be my little princess."
Han Mo watched the two embracing, his gaze placid, his expression unreadable behind the metal-rimmed glasses that glinted in the light.
Lin Yun, seeing the heartwarming scene between the siblings, felt her own eyes well up. "Alright, alright, Xi'er, Han'er has just started recovering. Don't let him get too emotional. Let Mo'er come over and check on him."
Han Mo looked up slightly, the reflection in his glasses vanishing to reveal gentle eyes. He smiled faintly. "Alright."
Bai Xi immediately moved aside.
As Han Mo approached, Bai Han offered him a smile, graceful and noble, like a born aristocrat. "Thank you, Dr. Han. I appreciate your trouble."
Han Mo looked at Bai Han, his pupils widening slightly, but he still managed a smile. "You're welcome."
Lin Yun chimed in with a playful tone, "We're family now, no need for such politeness."
She then looked at Bai Xi.
After all, Bai Xi had been the first to receive medical attention, and yesterday she had seen Bai Xi and Han Mo holding hands in front of the Bai family villa.
Now that Bai Han had recovered and Xi'er had found a good partner, their Bai family was blessed with double happiness.
Bai Han chuckled softly. "Mom, Dr. Han hasn't agreed to your proposal yet."
Lin Yun blinked, remembering her earlier suggestion of a godson, fearing Bai Xi might object. Before she could explain, Bai Xi stepped forward and took Han Mo's hand, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Mom's meaning is likely this."
Since she had decided to give Han Mo a try, she wouldn't go back on her word, so... stating it this way wasn't wrong.
Bai Han looked at their clasped hands, falling silent for a moment before a smile touched his lips. "Dr. Han, have you thought this through? My sister is quite a handful."
Bai Xi looked at Bai Han speechlessly. "Brother, you're really my brother."
She then turned to Han Mo. "My brother is right, you should think carefully."
Before it started, she certainly wouldn't stop him.
Han Mo looked at Bai Xi, smiling gently. "I've thought about it. I won't reconsider."
His gaze was tender and full of affection.
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, then looked at her brother again. "Brother, your plan to drive us apart doesn't seem to be working."
Bai Han laughed.
Han Mo conducted a comprehensive examination of Bai Han, after which all of Bai Han's vital signs were found to be extremely healthy.
Bai Xi hesitantly asked, "Brother, do you remember what you saw the night of my sixth birthday?"
Bai Han looked at Bai Xi tenderly. "That night, you held my hand, sang, and danced. We had a lot of fun. I also made you a beautiful flower crown. You said you'd marry me when you grew up."
Bai Xi: "..."
That was right. Bai Han had always protected her when they were young, like a knight from a fairy tale. When she was young and foolish, she had indeed said such outrageous things.
"Brother, you remember childhood matters so clearly. Do you also remember what happened after nightfall?"
Bai Han frowned, looking puzzled. "What else happened after nightfall?"
Bai Xi hesitated, wanting to prompt him. "Didn't I want fireflies back then? Did you go look for them for me?"
At these words, Bai Han's expression subtly changed. A hint of pain flickered across his pale features, and he clutched his forehead. "My head... it hurts so much..."
Bai Xi gasped. "Han Mo!"
Han Mo, already standing nearby, immediately moved to examine him. A silver needle was inserted, helping to alleviate the physiological headache caused by the recollection. Soon, Bai Han's expression gradually calmed, and his complexion improved significantly.
He lifted his pale face and smiled. "Thank you, I'm alright now."
Han Mo hesitated before speaking. "I heard Xi'er say earlier that the reason she went to save me was because you, little Han, saw me being kidnapped in your dream, is that correct?"
Bai Han gently raised a hand, slowly smiling. "It was just a coincidental dream. Perhaps because I was afraid, I was particularly worried about those close to me encountering danger. I had previously dreamed of little Xi in various ways... meeting misfortune in my dreams."
Bai Xi was slightly taken aback by his words.
She herself thought precognitive dreams were far-fetched, but if it were just a dream, how could they have found the video of Han Mo being kidnapped according to his dream scenario and identified the perpetrator?
Also, she had fallen off a cliff. Regarding this... Bai Han had been right at the time. Since he dreamt of various ways she could meet misfortune, why had he only mentioned that one instance last time? Was it purely a coincidence?
As she pondered, Bai Han spoke again. "Actually, I've dreamt of Dr. Han encountering trouble more than once. It's just that on several occasions, I woke up and saw Dr. Han, so I was relieved. But that day, Dr. Han didn't come for a long time, which made me fearful and I asked little Xi to help find you, Dr. Han."
Han Mo's eyes shone with a dreamlike light. "I see."
Bai Han looked at Bai Xi. "Ever since Father's accident, little Xi and I were forced apart. During that time, I dreamt of little Xi meeting misfortune countless times – being beaten to death by Bai Qian, being chased down a thousand-foot cliff by Bai Lian, and I even dreamt of a car accident. The last time I received news about little Xi was after I had that dream of little Xi falling off the cliff... Fortunately, little Xi, you are alright!"
Bai Xi looked at Bai Han. "Brother, I'm sorry."
If he hadn't stayed up late looking for fireflies for her, his brother wouldn't have needed medical treatment, nor would he have become increasingly anxious due to his illness and emotional instability.
Bai Han shook his head. "It's all in the past."
Bai Xi then turned to Han Mo. "Dr. Han, what exactly happened to my brother just now?"
Hearing the title "Dr. Han," Han Mo frowned slightly, but still replied gently. "Although I had him recall some of the events of that day while in a deep sleep, due to psychological trauma, his brain might have deliberately skipped that period of memory to protect his body. If forced to recall, he might experience pain."
Lin Yun quickly interjected, "Han'er, if you can't remember, don't force yourself. Those things are in the past and not very important."
Bai Han smiled and looked up. "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine."
Although Bai Xi was curious about the incident her brother mentioned, it was insignificant compared to her brother's health. "Dr. Han, is there anything else my brother needs to pay attention to?"
Han Mo said calmly, "Originally, Xiao Han's primary issue was a severe psychological barrier. The physical symptoms were all caused by his mental state. Now that he has recovered, his bodily functions will also gradually improve."
Bai Xi nodded, feeling a sense of relief.
Just then, Aunt Feng knocked on the door again. "Young Miss, Miss Tong is here. She's already at the villa entrance."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow slightly.
Why was that hoodlum Tong Xiaoxiao looking for her today?
