Chapter 29 Don't Try My Patience

  "Hehe, yeah, actually we've met before, of course, that was just me seeing you and hugging you, but you didn't know me. Ah, for a moment I couldn't say it clearly either. You're called Leng Xi, right? I'm Bai Xiao You, I'm friends with Bai Yi Cheng. From now on we'll be friends too, take care of each other, hehe..." Bai Xiao You had a mischievous grin on her face as she shook Leng Xi's hand enthusiastically, as if they'd known each other for many years."

  "You...hello..." Leng Xi smiled awkwardly and nodded at Bai Xiao You.

  "Alright, alright, actually, I think my brother is pretty good. Actually, you can consider him. He knows how to treat people well. Actually, he's never loved someone so much that he got drunk and lost himself..."

  "Xiao You Bai!"

  "Xiao You Bai!"

  The two people who had just stared at each other suddenly turned their heads in unison, shouting in unison with a threatening tone towards Bai Xiaoyu, who was speaking without reserve.

  After shouting, the two of them tacitly exchanged a glance, paused for a moment, then snorted in unison, and turned their heads away in disgust, as if they couldn't bear to look at each other.

  Bai Yicheng stopped Bai Xiaoyu because she was too garrulous, telling all his embarrassing stories and making him lose face, so how could he face Xi'er in the future.

  Du Shaohui stopped Bai Xiaoyu because she was too unromantic, and in front of his sister-in-law, he asked her to accept other men. Of course, he would stand up for Han Shao, it's his duty!

  Bai Xiao Yu was choked with a sudden "ah", and the words behind were abruptly stopped by two loud shouts, stuck in her throat. She scratched her head awkwardly and smiled foolishly at Leng Xi twice, opening her round eyes to say, "Actually, what I said just now was all true..."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Du Shaohui almost fell to the ground and died with a mouthful of blood.

  Leng Xi couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh at Bai XiaoYu's adorable expression.

  "And there's her, Ji Xin Meng, my friend and also my bodyguard." Bai Xiao You's enthusiasm soared as he pulled over the coldly standing Ji Xin Meng to introduce her.

  She won't forget, today she came with a mission, that is to help this silly brother of hers, teach him how to chase women.

  Ji Xin and Leng Xi exchanged a smile, which was enough as a greeting.

  Leng Xi's mood was also infected by Bai Xiao You's unbridled joy, and she suddenly burst out laughing, her mouth curving into a drunken arc with two dimples that made people drunk just by looking at them.

  Bai Xiao was infatuated, as if in a drunken stupor, in the depths of her beautiful eyes, which shone with a soft and gentle light, like a fairy spreading delicate radiance. She seemed to have fallen into a picturesque paradise on earth, unknowingly sinking into its beauty. No wonder her brother was so enchanted by her - this girl was born with the gift of captivating others.

  Waist was patted a few times by Ji Xin's hand from behind, and Bai Xiao You finally came back to her senses, remembering her task. She quickly stood up, ran over, made a ghostly face at Du Shao Xi, and then, under his astonished gaze, mischievously grasped his arm, pulling him out without giving him a chance to react. "Hehe, you're the Belly Button Brother, I've heard so much about you! I've heard you're great at playing ball, I've admired you for a long time! My brothers are waiting outside, let's go exchange some moves."

  "Who says I'm good at ball..." Du Shaohui tried to shake off Bai Xiaoyu's entanglement.

  Did he think he couldn't see it? Bai Xiao You was creating an opportunity for Bai Yi Cheng and Xi Er to be alone together, how could this be allowed to happen. As Han Shao's loyal guardian, Du Shao Xi would absolutely not permit such a thing to occur.

  "Come on, come on, my several classmates are pretty good-looking, absolutely punctual, and they're looking for a handsome guy for one night/love!" Bai Xiaoyou just wouldn't let go, laughing slyly.

  Du Shaohui's eyes lit up instantly, a night/affair! Still a student girl, this was absolutely tempting for him who had been dry for several days. It had to be said that at this moment, Du Shaohui's heart moved, it had been a long time since he last had a green vegetable radish, and indeed he was a bit eager.

  "Yes, Bai Xiaoyu is right, let's go." Ji Xinmie also came forward and pushed Du Shaohui, so Bai Xiaoyu took advantage of the situation and shamelessly pulled out the infatuated Du Shaohui, with Ji Xinmie following behind.

  Just as she was about to walk out the door, Ji Xinmei had a strange feeling in her heart. She turned back and looked at Bai Yicheng, whose face wore a faintly bright smile. But Ji Xinmei's own smile seemed somewhat bitter and repressed. Then, she turned back, restored her usual calm demeanor, walked out, and even closed the door behind them.

  The small ward, now with only two people left, suddenly became somewhat chilly in atmosphere.

  Seeing them all leave, Leng Xi helplessly lowered her head. What Bai Xiao You said earlier, she wasn't oblivious to it. Bai Yi Cheng likes her, and she isn't unaware of that either.

  Last night at the bar, he said he wanted to give her a home. The momentary excitement still lingers in her heart, how could she remain unmoved? Facing him again, Leng Xi's heart always has a sense of awkwardness, afraid to meet his gaze.

  "Xī ér, you... Líng Hán didn't threaten you, did he?" Bái Yì Chéng also felt a bit shy. In front of the woman he loved, his heartbeat would jump to an uncontrollable degree, and facing her, he would also feel tense.

  "No... nothing..." Leng Xi bit her lip and hung her head, a faint blush on her face.

  "Oh, that's good then. How's your body?" Bai Yicheng's heart was in a mess, so nervous that he couldn't think of anything to say.

  "Yeah, it's fine, no big deal." Leng Xi also felt awkward and didn't know what to say.

  "Oh..." Bai Yicheng glanced away, feeling awkward and unable to speak. How could he be so weak? He should have asked the question, but he didn't dare! He was a tough guy in the police force, facing off against even the most formidable enemies without flinching. So why couldn't he face a defenseless woman?

  Bai Yicheng stood with his back to Leng Xi, took a deep breath, and finally found some courage. When he turned around, the bright and handsome face had regained its usual sunny charm. "Xi'er, I think... actually, I want to ask you, what was your answer to what I said at the bar yesterday?" Bai Yicheng mustered up his courage to say it out loud, looking at her with a mix of tension and anticipation, his heart racing wildly.

  He only knew that he had to get Xi'er back by his side as soon as possible, so she would suffer less. Ling Han was too inhumane and cruel, treating women the same way he treated his enemies in the underworld, without any mercy!

  Leng Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately tensed up. She awkwardly looked away from Bai Yicheng's gaze, her hands clenched together in anxiety. "Yesterday you also saw it, I am Ling Han's woman..." She blinked, giving the answer.

  With eyes that had been shining brightly just a moment before now dimmed with despair, Bai Yicheng's eyes were filled with desolation. "I want to know the reason..."

  Leng Xi suddenly raised his ancient spring-like eyes, with crystal clear water light in them, gazing at Bai Yicheng. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile, tinged with bitterness and happiness, his eyes were slightly sour as he counted the feelings in his heart. "In life, there's always someone who makes you willing to be hurt, even if you know you'll be covered in scars. There's always someone you think about when you're alone, crying, but when you see them, you pretend to be nonchalant and smile. There's always someone who occupies your heart every moment..."

  "You love him..." Bai Yi's magnetic and clear voice was tinged with a hint of sadness.

  Leng Xi blinked his eyes and nodded slightly, although it was just a slight nod, it contained too many emotions, too much language, and too much feeling.

  The moment of despair spread out like a sea, Bai Yicheng shifted his gaze, took a deep breath, and covered up the disappointment that had been rejected in his eyes. He forced a comforting smile, "It's okay, just endure the cold for a little while longer, he's not a bad person at heart, take good care of each other..." His heart was aching, but Bai Yicheng still wore a smile on his face, blessing her love with someone else.

  Those eyes, when they touched the side of her face by the cold creek, involuntarily froze, silently gazing at her, with a heart that was turbulent and unsettled, with lingering sorrow.

  Brook, I love you, for your happiness, I am willing to give up everything... including you!

  I want to forever gaze at your profile, every gentle line and every subtle expression has been etched in my heart, even after going through countless twists and turns, it's impossible to erase.

  Leng Xi turned around, smiled shallowly and said, "Thank you, I will. I hope you can also find the person to settle down with soon."

  Bai Yicheng smiled faintly, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes, but also a mischievous glint. "Alright, you have to keep an eye on me, if I don't behave, I won't forgive myself." He gently stroked Leng Xi's hair, pampering him excessively.

  As he walked out the door and into the hospital corridor, Bai Yicheng suddenly stopped in his tracks, narrowing his eyes as he stared intently at the person walking steadily towards him.

  The chill of the tomb had been washed away, and compared to before, he was much more spirited and refreshed. It was clear that he had gone home and taken a good bath. His short hair, which was usually unruly, was now slightly damp, and his deep, narrow eyes seemed bottomless. When he met Bai Yicheng, he didn't change his expression or say anything.

  Brothers who used to joke around whenever they met now looked like strangers, each with a somber and distant gaze.

  "Treat her well!"

  In the fleeting moment of passing by, Bai Yicheng's words floated over lightly, and with just this one sentence, Bai Yicheng had already stepped away, the two brothers walking back to back, each going their separate ways, the distance growing farther with each step.

  Deep and quiet eyes, with a hint of melancholy.

  Glancing at the newcomer by the door, Leng Xi's heart skipped a beat, her shoulders tensed up, and she subconsciously shrank back into the bed.

  Burying cold!

  He's here!

  "You're afraid of me?" Ling Han's deep and profound eyes narrowed slightly as he walked steadily towards the bedside, step by step.

  In her eyes, which were as dark as black grapes, a hint of wariness flickered. Liang Shuang gripped the bed sheet tightly and shifted her body back, she could see that there was anger in his eyes, was he going to get angry again? Was it because she hadn't listened to him just now and didn't drink the porridge he had fed her...

  His arm was grasped by a hand, and Ling Han's eyes were as black as an abyss. His thick, magnetic voice was intimidating and overwhelming. "Don't test my patience!"
