Chapter 426: Chapter 435: Let Take Care of You Afterward Chapter 426: Chapter 435: Let Take Care of You Afterward Han Feng nodded and had a brief conversation with Bai Guang before they both bid farewell to Aunt Han.
After dinner, Bai Zhi took out so roasted potatoes and led the way out the door.
Telling Bai Xiang and the others that she had sothing to attend to, Wu Wa was busy arguing with Bai Guang about a collaboration and didn’t pay it much mind. Bai Zhi had specifically asked her not to co.
She had walked this path many tis before; even without a flashlight, she knew exactly how to navigate it.
The moonlight broke through the clouds and spilled a faint silver glow over the earth, creating a breathtaking scene.
Bai Zhi strolled leisurely down the path.
The initial mories of Brother Han Feng in Bai Zhi’s mind were of a good brother who would help her when he carried a basket on his back, so it wasn’t just Bai Zhi helping Han Feng—it was mutual aid.
Those were beautiful mories of a brother stored in the original owner’s mind, all of them about Han Feng.
Before she knew it, she had reached the back hill and saw a bonfire.
In the past, she would always light a small fire and sit with another person, Bai Zhi talking about things at ho.
“Xingxing, co over here.”
Han Feng got up and waved to Bai Zhi, who still looked like the skinny girl of his mories, but her eyes showed less self-doubt and insecurity and more confidence.
In just one afternoon, he had found out from the villagers what had happened and wished he could have dealt with Bai Da personally.
Even hearing that Bai Da had been captured didn’t relieve his anger.
As a child, Xingxing had never been the focus of attention; he always rembered that. Now, under the starry sky, she looked up and voiced her wishes.
“Brother Han Feng, you don’t know how much it would an to if they only looked at a bit more, even just asked, ‘Have you eaten?’
For , that would be the greatest happiness.”
“Brother Han Feng, did you know that our father can actually smile? That he likes girls too?”
At that mont, he saw the tears in the girl’s smiling eyes and witnessed her sudden understanding followed by a sense of loss.
“Brother Han Feng, do you think they would notice if I just beca a bad child?”
Back then, Han Feng couldn’t even save himself, much less save her.
Now, however, he was healed.
And so seed she, confident and no longer cringing, her eyes free from timidity.
“Brother Han Feng, I brought so potatoes, do you want to eat?”
Bai Zhi took out the potatoes, four in total. It used to be the sa: one for her, three for Han Feng.
The roasted potatoes, torn open with vigor, revealed fluffy insides and a crisp, aromatic shell.
“Of course I want to eat. I’ve missed Xingxing’s roasted potatoes for a long ti. Xingxing, I’m fine now; let take care of you from now on.”
That was what Han Feng had always wanted to say. Back then he was confused and disgusted with himself, but Xingxing never despised him, not even once.
“No need, I can take care of myself. Congratulations, Brother Han Feng, I heard from Aunt Han that you’re working at the post office now. That’s great.”
Bai Zhi was genuinely happy for her childhood brother; that happiness was a singular warmth in her childhood.
As she looked at Han Feng, his eyes which used to only show purity now glead sothing extra, appearing much more spirited.
“Xingxing, you forgot—I told you I’d take care of you one day. Once I get my salary, let’s go out, okay?”
Feeling the distance in Xingxing’s deanor was painful for him, but thinking it over, it seed natural given how many years they hadn’t seen each other.
