I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 796: Chapter 726: Offering Oneself in Gratitude for Saving a Life

Xu Yan and Wu Wa hurried over, one on each side to help her up.

Her face was still pale and Bai Zhi’s speech trembled as she spoke. “Brother called you. Why didn’t you answer?”

Bai Zhi didn’t know whether she had overestimated Han Sheng’s capabilities or what, but in that moment, her mind went blank with fear that something had happened to him.

That feeling was as if the world had collapsed.

Her brother had been with her through two worlds. How could she possibly not care?

Bai Fei was wrong when he said she and Xu Yan were just ordinary friends. That was not the case. Xu Yan was more important to her than anyone else, he was like her grandfather.

Because of him and her grandfather, Bai Zhi felt like she still had a home.

A place to shelter from the wind and rain, where she didn’t have to worry about having no home to return to.

As long as they were there, even if they did nothing, they could give her all the courage she needed, because she believed, always believed.

They were her most important family.

As long as they were there, she felt nothing could scare her. In the worst case, she could just go home to her grandfather and brother.

Xu Yan’s eyes suddenly got teary. He patted her head, “I’m sorry, I was almost at the door so I didn’t answer. I worried you. Let’s go check out that Horror House.”

Xu Yan said nothing more, simply stroking her head with a smile.

He knew that Xingxing had been under a lot of pressure recently, even though everyone told her not to worry, not to take on everything herself, she would still be concerned.

Concerned that Han Sheng might harm others, concerned for the safety of each and every person, and equally worried about the approaching day.

“Alright.”

Bai Zhi then remembered the urgent matters and quickly nodded.

Bai Zhi walked over and gave Wu Wa a big hug.

“Wu Wa, you rest at home for a bit, we’re going to check that place out.”

“Okay, Ah Zhi. I really missed you, I was busy earlier and couldn’t come over. I’m sorry.”

At that time, it was a crucial moment for Wu Wa, and even though she was extremely worried and wanted to come over right away, she did not in the end.

Because she had grown up, she was no longer the old Wu Wa who would ignore the bigger picture for her own issues.

It was Ah Zhi who taught her to grow.

“It’s okay, I missed you too. I’ll make you something delicious in the evening. Have a good chat with your cousin, you haven’t seen each other for a long time, right?”

Bai Zhi looked at Bai Fei, whose gaze still lingered on Xu Yan, but was no longer persistent.

Because she knew, her senior didn’t fancy her.

And she was sure that she would meet someone, in whose eyes she would be the only one.

Bai Zhi took Xu Yan to the Horror House, where Moh Li was. Seeing Xu Yan, he immediately took him over to have a look.

“This is the place, this wire here, that side can control it.”

Moh Li took Xu Yan everywhere to have a careful look, while Bai Zhi went back to start cooking.

It was a rare occasion for everyone to be together, so Bai Zhi prepared an abundant meal.

Smoked pig’s trotters were a must, stewed with Chinese yam, home-raised chicken braised with wild mushrooms from the mountains, spicy fish, and homegrown winter melon stewed with ribs.

Along with other dishes, Bai Zhi made a whole table full, with Bai Fei and Wu Wa’s help.

By the time they returned, the meal was just ready. Bai Xiang brought canned pears – the start of their business venture together, from which they were still earning money every month.

Bai Xiang really did what he promised, making the three of them rich enough to earn money even when playing. Bai Zhi would still give Bai Xiang new recipes, but she refrained from getting involved in more than that.

In fact, things were just fine as they were. Bai Zhi always felt that she didn’t contribute that much. She only gave away her formula. It was Bai Xiang who managed the sales, after-sales service, and reputation, so the amount she got was already enough.

Bai Zhi didn’t have any ambitions of dominating the world; she just wanted enough to get by and buy a few properties to become a landlady.

The best part would be scheduling rent collection from the 1st to the 30th; going to collect rent every day would be sufficient.

She had already bought a lot. Bai Xiang helped her buy some, and others she bought with her medical patents. Because of her merits, she had also bought a siheyuan in the Imperial City. She was quite satisfied.

But oh, whether she could even go see that siheyuan again was a question.

“Making so much food, Xingxing, you guys are pretty good.”

Bai Xiang and the others quickly helped with the bowls and chopsticks, taking turns holding the Coke.

Looking at the Coke, Bai Zhi thought, luckily it’s now. Ten years later, she definitely wouldn’t drink Coke, because she would surely gain weight. But for now, she could still enjoy some.

“Tomorrow I’m going to my new school. I’ll bring you guys gifts when I come back. Come look at what you want; pick anything.”

Bai Fei said with a smile, gazing at them with tears in her eyes.

She actually didn’t want to leave, but she had no reason to stay.

What she left behind here wasn’t hurt but the shame of facing herself, unable to face the self that was selfish, profiting, and jealous of Xingxing.

“Alright, I won’t hold back.”

Bai Zhi was the first to speak.

The atmosphere began to lighten up.

Everyone ate and drank together, and even talked about the past.

“Bai Zhi, when did you and Moh Li really meet? You’ve been hiding it from us?”

When they were almost done eating, Bai Fei suddenly pointed at Moh Li and spoke.

Moh Li’s gaze turned to Bai Zhi, and finally, he simply said, “We knew each other even before she got along with you.”

Bai Fei’s eyes widened, somewhat in disbelief. She thought it was later, but they had known each other from the start.

“Back then, I was up in the mountains looking for something. I saw him bitten by a snake and I saved him. Haven’t you heard? Saving a life commits one to marriage. So, he sold his entire life to me.”

Perhaps the mood was too good, so Bai Zhi was also laughing and talking, saying whatever came to mind.

Saving a life commits one to marriage, huh?

Moh Li thought that was okay, at least it was a reason.

“I even saw her hitting Bai Ye. With a pear.”

“Exactly, he deserved it.”

Everyone was stunned. When on earth had this happened? They had no idea.

“Right, let’s go set off fireworks later. My brother and I bought a lot of fireworks, let’s set them off together.”

Bai Fei pulled Bai Xiang along and led them all to the hill behind the village to set off fireworks.

The hill was far from the village, and now with the bright lights in the village, the fireworks weren’t as spectacular as they used to be.

Everyone was quite happy. The moment the fireworks began, Bai Zhi firmly squeezed Xu Yan’s and Moh Li’s hands.

“We have something to take care of, you keep watching. Have fun, Xingxing.”

Moh Li and Xu Yan were about to leave, and Bai Fei felt a bit forlorn. Even though her senior had come today, he hadn’t spoken to her or even glanced her way. He must not want anything to do with her.

Since Bai Fei had already let go, she shouldn’t think too much. Whatever her senior did had nothing to do with her.

“You two are leaving just like that? Stay a bit longer.”

Bai Xiang watched the two of them as he spoke; when it’s time to relax, just relax.
