And this ti, she had no dreams and woke up already in town. Bai Zhi rubbed her eyes; she had actually slept so long.
"What ti is it? Let’s buy so stuff to take ho and cook."
Bai Zhi went to check and bought a chicken, along with at and various vegetables to prepare for a barbecue.
Moh Li’s hands were laden with big and small parcels, while Bai Zhi held an ice cream, yellow pineapple flavor with white inside, eating it as she walked.
There were also many popsicles, all frozen especially hard. They could be snapped in half right down the middle. They tasted exceptionally good when bitten.
Bai Zhi then took so and handed them to Moh Li to eat.
Moh Li had not eaten them in at least two years; the first ti he had was when Bai Zhi taught him.
The two of them leisurely made their way ho and then went up the mountain.
Upon reaching the mountain, Bai Zhi began marinating while Moh Li was in charge of skewering. They coordinated their efforts seamlessly.
In the afternoon, each held a cup of jasmine tea, sitting under the grape trellis in the yard.
"Moh Li, how have you been these two years?"
Bai Zhi suddenly felt curious; originally, they’d worked on missions together, but later he left early to go to the front line.
"Every day was the sa; it was just treating, treating, then witnessing a lot of life and death separations, which made realize our insignificance.
It made rediscover my initial motivation to study dicine. I want to continue learning and do more with my master."
Moh Li’s look at Bai Zhi grew much more profound; previously, his heart was filled only with thoughts of revenge, but now he knew... he was too narrow-minded before.
"I am very grateful to my master and Grandpa Bai for making realize how narrow-minded I was before. Those people, what are they? I’ll deal with them later.
By the way, your military honors, we have kept them for you."
Over these two years, all of Bai Zhi’s research results were sent to them imdiately, from hemostatic anti-inflammatory treatnts to preventive dications, various cold pills, and other pills. They couldn’t get enough of them...
So in fact, although Bai Zhi hadn’t gone, she had already earned the honors. If she wished, she could certainly go directly.
"Would you like to join on the front line..."
After thinking a long ti, Moh Li finally asked this question, yet he knew Bai Zhi wasn’t afraid of hardship or fatigue; she just didn’t want to leave here.
"It’s not necessary for ; I can’t leave Nanning, I’ve already connected tightly with Nanning and Bai Family Village... Even for university, I will study locally and co back here every week."
Bai Zhi’s gaze turned back to the mountain; indeed, no one knew. Bai Zhi couldn’t leave here for long...
The price for defying fate wasn’t easy after all, especially since Bai Zhi had been hurt repeatedly. She was now closely tied to this place. Leaving would make her sick, and she would ultimately fall into a sleep she couldn’t awake from...
However, Bai Zhi did not want others to worry so she didn’t reveal this, even though the Ancestor said he would find a way to solve the problem. Yet Bai Zhi felt she didn’t mind at all; it was just fine this way.
"Can you not leave this place?"
Moh Li suddenly grabbed Bai Zhi’s hand tightly. Since the last ti Bai Zhi’s life was at risk, their connection had deepened significantly.
"Yes, for these next few years I cannot, because I still need the nourishnt from this place. Similarly, I want to protect this place, keep it undiscovered, uncoveted.
We should both understand how important this place is, Moh Li."
Bai Zhi’s gaze turned back to the mountain here; so beautiful and mysterious.
That’s exactly why they needed to protect this place, wasn’t it.
"Then why aren’t you happy?"
Since he ca back, he hadn’t seen Bai Zhi smile.
"We can barbecue now, let’s eat, I’m starving."
Bai Zhi brought out the barbecue, and together with Moh Li, they began to eat and drink.
What she pulled out was wine, brewed by Bai Zhi herself.
"You shouldn’t drink, have you forgotten?"
Bai Zhi had a very low alcohol tolerance—she would get drunk from just one sip, and that too from a type of carbonated beverage.
"Haven’t you heard? ’In vino veritas’, just one sip."
Bai Zhi glared at Moh Li, snatched it over, and took a tiny sip, really just that tiny.
"Moh Li, I argued with Bai Fei. I’m really unhappy."
After drinking, Bai Zhi felt dizzy, but her mind seed even clearer.
So it’s true what they say, that the heart knows best when drunk; those who say people talk nonsense when drunk are wrong.
Like now, she knew everything in her heart, and the discomfort and anger peaked suddenly,
"I’m so angry, really angry. Haven’t I been good to her? When I found out her diet went wrong, I imdiately gave her acupuncture and made her dicinal als. I partnered with them without ever questioning the details. I think there’s no need to make such clear distinctions with siblings.
But how did she treat ?"
Bai Zhi suddenly stood up, her walk a bit unsteady, yet she started to laugh.
"I’ve realized that people shouldn’t be too kind, because the more you give, the more others take it for granted. It becos expected of you. Can’t you have your own feelings? Understand?
You’re supposed to be considerate, supposed to think of others, you must be a saint.
Do you know what a ’saint’ is?"
Bai Zhi laughed while walking towards Moh Li but ended up walking in the completely opposite direction.
And she seed like she could fall over at any second.
Moh Li quickly went over to support her, sowhat helplessly. He felt a bit of pain...
"You still have ."
Moh Li wasn’t good at sweet-talking, but he told Bai Zhi that she still had him.
"What do I want you for? I can live well on my own, do you know why she argued with ? For so senior at school."
Not to ntion the relationship between Xu Yan and her, it was just because of so senior they argued.
"She even said I freeloaded with her. Do I look like soone without money? Can’t I pay for myself?"
Bai Zhi was indeed very angry that day, and upon returning here she imdiately took her to the hospital, bustling about tirelessly.
"I even paid for her dical expenses."
Bai Zhi was unbearably angry and aggrieved; it all burst out uncontrollably. "Do you think she believes I’m leeching off her siblings? Pfft... Aren’t my patents sufficient?
I’m richer than them now; I’m quite the wealthy lady."
Even with Moh Li supporting her, Bai Zhi couldn’t keep still; she was punching and kicking as she spoke—right now, every word was prompting her to push away Moh Li.
Her facial expressions were equally spectacular, fluctuating between crying and laughing... and also exceptionally angry.
But one can’t deny that in this mont, Bai Zhi seed much more vivid and alive.
"Are you stupid? If you want to be angry, then be angry, if you want to be sad, then be sad. You said it yourself, why care about what others think? You know how to educate others, but don’t you know how to behave yourself?"
Moh Li looked at the distressed Bai Zhi, knowing he could perhaps console her. But did Bai Zhi really need consoling?
"Yeah, you’re right, so this ti I don’t want to tolerate it anymore."
