These words stunned Bai Xi and Han Mo.
Bai Xi: "..."
She had indeed planned to follow Han Mo's advice and not reveal her identity to her brother for the time being, but she hadn't intended to use Han Mo's girlfriend as an alias!
Han Mo turned back to Bai Han's side and asked gently, "Why does Xiao Han think that?"
Bai Han said seriously, "Because she always comes to see Dr. Han, and Dr. Han also protects her!"
The last time he had smashed her with a cup, it was Dr. Han who used his own back to block his water cup.
Most importantly, he had a feeling that although Dr. Han hadn't smiled when she arrived, his eyes seemed to hold an indescribable happiness.
It was like how their father used to look at their mother when he came home from a mission.
Bai Xi: "..."
She... came to see her brother, but her brother said she was there to see Han Mo.
And she didn't know how to explain.
Should she admit to being Han Mo's girlfriend to gain her brother's trust? She didn't care; she had often disguised her identity during missions before, but for the shy and pure Han Mo in front of her... it seemed not right.
She inexplicably had the illusion that it would tarnish his reputation.
Han Mo handed the box of pastries Bai Xi had brought back to Bai Xi, and with a smile, said to Bai Han, "Xiao Han guessed wrong. She isn't my girlfriend. She is... my good friend, and she wants to be friends with Xiao Han too. Would Xiao Han be willing to be friends with her?"
Bai Han looked up at Bai Xi, his eyes holding a touch of innocence, "Dr. Han is very good. His friends should also be very good, so... Xiao Han is willing to be friends with her."
Hearing this, Bai Xi was filled with joy. She stepped forward, took out a piece of almond shortbread, and ate it with a smile, "Then from now on, the three of us will be good friends, right?"
Bai Han nodded, "Yes, good friends. My name is Bai Han. You can call me Xiao Han like you call Dr. Han, or you can call me Bai Han."
Bai Xi smiled, "Then you call me... Xiao Bai."
Last time, when she had said her name was Xi'er, he had reacted strongly. This time, she naturally couldn't stimulate him again.
Bai Han smiled, a bright smile that, combined with his peach blossom eyes, was so beautiful it was captivating, "Xiao Bai, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten angry with you last time."
Bai Xi smiled, "It's okay, I'm not angry at all."
A hint of shyness on his face, Bai Han said, "Xiao Bai, don't pretend to be my sister next time, or I'll get angry again. My sister... she's only this tall, but she's very cute and likes to eat lollipops. I've saved a lot of lollipops. I don't know when she'll come back..."
Listening to his words, Bai Xi felt a warmth in her heart.
He didn't recognize her, but he loved the memory of her.
But at this moment, Bai Han's expression suddenly turned somewhat frightening. His body began to tremble violently, and his emotions seemed on the verge of collapsing again, "But, they said she died and will never come back. If I really want to see her, then I should die too. I should die..."
Bai Han's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened, his slightly pale face contorted, and he subconsciously looked around, as if searching for something, wanting to attack others, or harm himself.
Bai Xi's eyes were filled with heartache. She pulled Bai Han into her arms, "Xiao Han, it's okay, it's okay. They are all lying to you. Your sister is definitely still alive. She is definitely still alive."
Bai Han's body was still trembling, but his emotions had calmed down a bit due to Bai Xi's words. He said in a tearful voice, "Is that really true?"
Bai Xi gently patted Bai Han's back.
When she was young, especially after her father's death, she often had nightmares. Every time she woke up from a nightmare and couldn't calm her emotions, Bai Han would comfort her like this.
Although a bit clumsy, it made her feel warm. She knew then that her brother's mind seemed to have some issues. Unlike ordinary people, his body continued to grow from the age of six, but his brain stopped developing.
At that time, she thought she had to protect her brother and mother well in place of their father.
She naively believed that by following Bai Qian's arrangements and treating everyone in the Bai family as real relatives, she could ensure a peaceful and happy life for her brother and mother.
But reality slapped her hard.
Not only did they harm her, but they also brought her brother back to continue persecuting him, turning him into what he was now.
Bai Xi's eyes turned slightly cold, but her tone was exceptionally gentle, "They hurt you, so they are bad people. Do you believe the words of bad people or the words of a good friend?"
Feeling Bai Xi patting his back, Bai Han finally calmed down. He looked up at Bai Xi, and a trace of familiarity appeared in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared again, "What Xiao Bai says is right. We shouldn't believe bad people. I believe you."
Han Mo stood aside, watching Bai Xi gently hold Bai Han, his eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.
Bai Han whispered, "Then... when will my sister come back to find me?"
Hearing this, Bai Xi desperately wanted to tell Bai Han that she was Bai Xi, but she managed to restrain herself.
If she told him she was Bai Xi now, and he couldn't accept it, then the trust she had finally gained would undoubtedly crumble instantly.
She looked up at Han Mo, wanting to ask him with her eyes how much longer it would take.
He was a doctor; she believed in his professionalism and thought he should be the one to judge when her brother could finally accept her identity.
However, when she looked at Han Mo, he quickly averted his gaze, "As long as Xiao Han cooperates with the hospital treatment and gets better, he can go back to find her."
Bai Han's beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkled, "Really? That's great."
The three of them were getting along harmoniously, creating a warm atmosphere.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Han Mo and Bai Xi's eyes turned towards the door almost instantly. Shen Cheng stood at the entrance.
Shen Cheng held a bouquet of flowers in one hand and carried some nutritional supplements in the other. He stood at the doorway with a smile, "Sorry, I'm interrupting."
Bai Xi was taken aback by Shen Cheng's sudden appearance, "Why are you here?"
Shen Cheng smiled, "Didn't you message me to come?"
Bai Xi: "..."
She had indeed messaged him to come to the hospital, but she had asked him to come to discuss how to deal with Bai Qian's affairs, not to visit the patient.
Thinking of this, she immediately turned to look at Bai Han.
As expected, Bai Han immediately shrank behind Han Mo, his eyes full of wariness, his body trembling slightly.
Bai Xi quickly walked over to Shen Cheng, took the flowers and gifts from him, and whispered, "My brother was stimulated at the Bai family's place before, and his emotions are unstable now. He tends to be repelled by strangers. Please wait for me by the door, Lawyer Shen. We'll talk outside."
Shen Cheng, being a mature and gentlemanly person, said, "I apologize. It was my fault for coming up without contacting you first."
Saying that, he gestured towards the door and said lightly, "I'll wait for you by the door."
Bai Xi glanced at the door and said softly, "Okay."
Han Mo looked at the two people standing not far away, his gaze instantly hidden beneath his reflective glasses.
