"Xingxing, does that an you’re not leaving? You’ll stay in the hospital with ?"
They seed to have reconciled, at least that’s what it seed.
"I really have things to do, cousin. I’ll co see you after I’m done," Bai Zhi smiled. This ti she really left.
Just as she opened the door, she saw Bai Xiang and Wu Wa eavesdropping outside.
"Hehe, Xingxing, where are you going? Can I give you a lift?" Bai Xiang said sowhat awkwardly, pointing outside.
Bai Zhi shook her head, "No need, you take care of our cousin. Wu Wa, I’ve got so things to handle right now. Do you want to co with ? It would be a good chance for us to chat."
Bai Zhi thought that she should always ask for Wu Wa’s opinion. After all, Wu Wa was now able to take care of herself, but as long as Wu Wa didn’t say she wanted to leave, Bai Zhi naturally wouldn’t let her.
Because at that ti, she thought she was just an outsider. It was Wu Wa who gave her that affirmation.
"Of course, where you go, I go," Wu Wa said, "I have always said that, Ah Zhi. In fact, I have sothing I want to talk to you about, too."
Wu Wa had things she wanted to discuss with Bai Zhi lately, it was just that they had been delayed since Bai Zhi wasn’t around.
"Alright, let’s go then."
Bai Zhi took Wu Wa straight to an address. Although it wasn’t busy at the mont, Moh Li said that this place would be at the center of a bustling market in the future. For now, they were headed to the wholesale market.
If they were going to start, they might as well start from scratch. Bai Zhi felt she wasn’t completely without resources; at the very least, Bai Xin had been making down jackets for years, and Bai Zhi and Wu Wa had always been of help. Now, making clothes on her own was not a problem.
Yes, it was at that mont that Bai Zhi suddenly wanted to do sothing — she wanted to make plus-size clothing.
She had once been overweight herself, and choosing clothes was especially painful. Whenever she approached a clothing store, the first thing they would say was always, "Hello, we don’t have your size here."
That look in their eyes, as if being a bit overweight was an unforgivable sin.
What’s wrong with three pluses, four pluses? Can’t plus-sized won have nice clothes?
Are those girls who can only buy the largest size on Taobao committing a sin?
No, we’re just big. Whose rice have we eaten?
If it weren’t for Jiang Qi, perhaps she would not have thought of this, but now she wanted to work hard to do sothing for her forr self and for those slightly overweight girls.
Bai Zhi went to the raw materials market to buy materials so she could take them ho and make clothes slowly, for fun, and out of interest.
She wanted to do sothing she liked, even if there was no return on it.
Bursting with enthusiasm, Bai Zhi bought a whole lot before taking Wu Wa back to her rented place.
Looking at the house, Wu Wa was a bit confused.
"Ah Zhi, you’re not staying on campus?" She had always assud Bai Zhi would live at school.
"Not anymore, I’d rather do what I like now. What about you, Wu Wa? Do you want to live on campus?"
Bai Zhi actually wanted to say, do you want to live on your own?
"I actually wanted to talk to you about this. Wu La said everything is pretty stable now. My mommy wants to move back in; they have a house not too far from here and have opened a silver shop. Grandpa Bai said I should go back and learn a few things.
Third Grandpa has been teaching these past two years. But the more I learn, the more I realize how difficult it was for my grandpa. It’ll soon be my turn to step up... I’ll choose to enter... school, and continue learning to strive to do more of what I should be doing.
Ah Zhi, I’m very lucky to have t you, to have learned so much from you. It’s just that perhaps in three years, we’ll have to part ways."
The more you know, the more you realize. Among them, Ah Zhi’s struggles, Bai Xiang and I could actually leave, so could Moh Li. Only Ah Zhi had to stay in Nanning, only in Nanning.
She absolutely couldn’t leave Nanning Province; what a sad thing that was.
If she left, then as the Array Eye, her departure would leave a hole in the Formation, and that secret couldn’t be kept safe.
Their four families had been guarding it for who knows how many years, a matter concerning the entire nation...
"Okay, I understand. Go back, and let’s both work hard to do what we want. I believe you’ll definitely be able to achieve your dreams."
Bai Zhi took a step forward and embraced Wu Wa.
Separation was inevitable after all. They would grow up and leave this place, and as long as they could calmly accept that fact, nothing would change.
She never felt aggrieved. Having the chance to start over and to change things, she was content. Nanning was so vast, she had never traversed all of Nanning’s landscapes, so she never felt lonely—nor did she consider the inability to leave a significant problem.
"Ah Zhi, I used to think about protecting Mommy, but after I saw what Grandpa left behind, I wanted to continue and research more ticulous weapons."
Nobody knew why their clan was hidden deep in the mountains—because many of today’s weapons actually ca from Wu Wa’s grandpa’s hands, but he had had an accident.
That’s why those top-secret docunts were handed over to Bai Dan, and now the Ancestor was teaching them to Wu Wa.
"I believe you can definitely do it."
With a confident smile, Bai Zhi gazed steadily at Wu Wa.
She always believed in her, just as Wu Wa believed in her.
"Ah Zhi, I want to eat the food you make."
In truth, she was sowhat reluctant. She didn’t want to part with Ah Zhi.
If she were to go back, she wouldn’t be able to return at will anymore. Mommy said she had to learn more, not just schoolwork, but also the tasks she assigned.
"Alright, let’s have hot pot. It’s been so long since we’ve had it."
Bai Zhi made hot pot, and the two of them ate and chatted together.
That evening, Wu Wa didn’t go to the hospital but went with Bai Zhi to see Wu La.
Two streets away from the school, there was a silver jewelry store—silver elegance.
Bai Zhi was taken aback, only later realizing this was the sa jewelry store chain that would spread across the country in ten years.
Wu Wa parted with Bai Zhi with a smile.
As Bai Zhi walked alone on the way back, she reflected that life truly was a constant cycle of etings and partings.
Wu Wa had gone ho, and she herself had grown up.
No one would be with you for a lifeti, after all, a lifeti is so long, but saying goodbye doesn’t an it’s the end.
So people, even after being away for a long ti, can continue to talk about anything upon their return.
She believed she and Wu Wa would definitely be like that.
The evening breeze was slightly cool, and it felt comforting on the skin. Bai Zhi slowly made her way back, walking leisurely along the Qingshui River.
In fact, it had been a long ti since she took such a peaceful walk alone. She reached a spot with street food, bought a ham sausage, and savored two skewers of barbecue, which tasted very good.
Finally, she went ho, freshened up, and had a beautiful sleep.
...
Bai Zhi’s next visit to the hospital was in the afternoon when Bai Xiang frantically grabbed her hand. "Where’s Wu Wa? Where’s Wu Wa? Why isn’t she at auntie’s place?"
Bai Zhi was taken aback. Wu Wa couldn’t have forgotten to tell her cousin, could she?
"She’s gone ho, her mother and they got a house here, so she went ho. Didn’t she tell you?"
Bai Xiang’s eyes widened, looking at Bai Zhi with annoyance. "What do you think?"
Bai Zhi: "..."
...
After school started, ti seed to speed up. After Bai Fei was discharged, he didn’t go back either; instead, they all returned to the county town to visit Li Sisi every day.
