Liu Xiangli looked up at the moon moving west and lowered her eyes. The watch on her wrist pointed to 8:15, which was an hour and 15 minutes past the agreed time.
Bai Yunmi was never late, but he didn't show up today, or perhaps he didn't plan to come at all.
She couldn't help but laugh at herself for being stupid. She actually had hopes for him.
Liu Xiangli looked around again, but still didn't see the person she was waiting for. She slowly walked toward the street.
The longing that rose from the bottom of her heart always lingered around her.
She didn't understand. If he didn't have any feelings for her, why did he insist on acknowledging her?
Couldn't he just let everything be as it was? Yet, he still came to disturb her heart.
How many blows did he think she could take? Liu Xiangli felt tears in her eyes. She forced herself not to cry for him anymore. A heartless man was not worth it.
She wandered around for a while until a mysterious purple light caught her attention. She then realized that she was standing in front of a small shop with the sign "Moon Breeze Tea House".
Her throat was dry, and she couldn't help but step in. The pleasant fragrance entered her nose and made her feel much more energized.
"Welcome." A long-haired woman with a classical Chinese style stood in front of the bar to welcome her.
"Hello," Liu Xiangli squeezed out a smile.
"You look very sad. Is there something on your mind?”
Liu Xiangli's sharp observation skills and gentle questioning tone almost made her lower her guard.
Liu Xiangli shook her head indifferently. She was no longer sad for Bai Lingmi.
"Love problems are always difficult to solve, right?”
Liu Xiangli pursed her lips, not understanding why the woman in front of her insisted on exploring her inner world.
"Drink it and relax." The woman at the bar took out a drink and placed it in front of Liu Xiangli.
To be honest, if she wasn't in a bad mood, Liu Xiangli really wanted to ask what the black drink was made of. She didn't have the courage to drink it and even wanted to leave this strange place.
"Don't underestimate it. It has the effect of relieving depression.”The woman saw the hesitation in her eyes and encouraged her.
Liu Xiangli picked up the cup and took a sip.
An incredible sweetness spread on the tip of his tongue, as if he had fallen into the embrace of the sun, instantly filling him with courage.
"It's good, right? Don't be scared by its color. It's like love. You have to love it personally and cry before it can be deeply engraved in your heart.”
"Love is a bad thing that tortures people.”Liu Xiangli said weakly.
"Even if you don't believe in love, you have to believe in yourself. Unless you admit defeat and become a deserter on the battlefield of love.”
"I'm not a deserter. It's just that true love is too difficult to pursue.”Liu Xiangli retorted with some excitement.
"You can't even do basic trust, and you still want to ask for true love?”
"You don't know anything. You don't understand how painful it is to be hurt.”Liu Xiangli said anxiously.
"Maybe the person who hurt you didn't mean it.”
"If he makes the same mistake a second time, how can I forgive him?”She wasn't a mage, so how could she guess what was going on in Bai Yumi's mind?
"It's easy to forgive him. Can you give him a chance to prove it? Love is not one-sided. You can't even face yourself, so how can you ask others?”
The woman's words hit the nail on the head. She had only been avoiding Bai Yunmi, so why would she give him the chance to prove his heart?
"Give yourself a trial without regrets. Love comes too easily, and the world will not cherish it.”
Her words once again woke Liu Xiangli up. Three years ago, her love for Bai Lingmi was self-righteous, but now she began to care if she was really in Bai Lingmi's heart. This extreme difference made her understand that love needed to go through time and challenges.
How could a smooth love spark sparks?
"I know now. It turns out that I've been making things difficult for myself. Love is a problem between two people.”
"From his point of view, you'll feel much more relaxed. There's no need to give yourself too much pressure.”
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. History will bear witness to your love in the future.”The woman said with reservation.
"How much is this drink?"
"It's fate that we meet in life. Talking about money is too much.”
"You've said so much. How should I thank you?”
"There will be a chance. Hurry up and find your sweetheart. Perhaps he misses you so much that he's sick and waiting for your redemption.”
Liu Xiangli smiled. Now, she no longer had an arrogant temper. She had become a brave warrior on the battlefield of love, looking for an answer for her love.
Liu Xiangli took out the keys from her purse. In the past three years, she had never thought that she would come here again. When she left home in a hurry, she mistakenly thought that this set of keys was the key to the house and took it away. In the past three years, she often looked at it and missed Bai Mianmi. Today, she even wanted to take it back to Bai Mianmi in a fit of anger, but the development of things was completely different from what she had imagined.
When she opened the door, the furnishings inside were still the same, except that the corner was filled with information bags, some of which were even scattered on the ground. She picked them up, but there were photos of women who looked like her on the ground. Liu Xiangli looked at the places that Bai Miyun had circled with a red pen and the notes he had written. It turned out that he had really spent so much effort to find her.
At this moment, her heart was filled with gratitude.
"Big Brother Bai, Big Brother Bai." Liu Xiangli put down the paper bag and walked towards his room. She saw his shoes at the entrance and knew that he didn't go out, but he didn't respond to her call. Did something happen to him?
Liu Xiangli rushed to his room and opened the door, only to see Bai Yumi lying on the bed in an irregular position.
Brother Bai was sleeping, so why was he ignoring her? However, when she saw him, her worried heart was relieved. She went forward to help him adjust his sleeping position, but why was Brother Bai's clothes and sheets wet?
"Brother Bai, wake up!" Her skin was burning hot when she touched it. She then touched his forehead. Oh my god! He had a fever.
Liu Xiangli immediately went to the bathroom to get a basin of hot water to help him wash his face. Bai Yumi only moaned softly and did not wake up.
This won't do!
Liu Xiangli took out a thick carpet from the cabinet and placed Bai Mianmi on it. Then, she changed the wet bedsheet and covered it with clean bedsheets and bedding.
However, she couldn't let Bai Yumi lie on the bed with her wet clothes, so she removed her clothes.
It had been many years since they last met, but Bai Mianmi's figure was still fit and healthy. Liu Xiangli, who had once swum with him, blushed the more she looked at him. When she took off his undergarments, she specially wrapped a towel around his waist to prevent him from revealing his naked body.
After wiping his body with warm water and alcohol, Liu Xiangli tried to help him up again. However, because the towel was not tied properly, the towel fell down as soon as Bai Yumi stood up. Liu Xiangli cried out in shock and threw him on the bed. She accidentally knocked her waist on the edge of the bed, and Bai Yumi moaned in pain.
The naked him forced out the heat on Liu Xiangli's face. She quickly helped him adjust his posture and covered him with a blanket. With a red face, she went to make a call and asked the doctor to come and see him.
Dizzy and groggy, Bai Xunmi felt her entire body was heavy. Her hands and feet were sore, especially her waist. The lingering numbness made her feel very uncomfortable.
A fragrant smell assailed his nose. He opened his eyes and saw the familiar furnishings in the room. He raised his right hand and rubbed his temples. The strange feeling of the quilt on his body made him feel as if he was not wearing clothes. He pulled the quilt open and looked inside. As expected, there was nothing inside.
Which impolite person took off his clothes? Delise…Impossible, she had already fallen out with her yesterday.
She actually pushed him into the pool, causing him to have a terrible headache the moment he got home, so he wanted to sleep and recover his energy before going to Xiangli's appointment...
Oh no, it was already ten in the morning! Xiangli must hate him to death. Bai Mi was shocked and immediately got out of bed. However, just as her feet touched the ground, she felt dizzy again.
"Big Brother Bai, how can you move so recklessly?”Liu Xiangli was carrying a bowl of steaming fish porridge. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Bai Mianmi trying to get out of bed, so she quickly put the porridge down and helped him up.
Bai Yunmi felt the world spin, and she lost her balance, pressing Liu Xiangli onto the bed.
It was so heavy that Liu Xiangli almost lost her breath.
"Xiangli, why are you here?”Rubbing his forehead, he looked at the person he missed at a close distance.
"You have a cold. The doctor said that you have to rest for three days before you can get out of bed.”Oh my god, Liu Xiangli felt like she was about to be squashed. Under Bai Miyun's " pressure," she found it difficult to even breathe.
A cold? Bai Yunmi was confused.
"You were wet yesterday and you had a fever. What if I didn't come to see you?”Liu Xiangli was frightened by her own speculation. She couldn't imagine the day she would really lose him.
"Are you worried about me?" It had been a long time since she had heard her concern, and Bai Xunmi felt a wave of warmth in her heart.
"Nonsense, Big Brother Bai, you're so heavy.”For the sake of her life, she had better ask him to move.
Bai Yunmi gave her a charming smile and moved her upper body away from her, but her feet were still wrapped around her.
Why are you smiling so ambiguously? Liu Xiangli was at a loss, but she didn't dare to look at him.
"My whole body aches when I catch a cold. My waist is especially strong.”Bai Miyun frowned and rubbed the back of her waist.
Liu Xiangli's face turned red. His words reminded her of what she shouldn't have seen yesterday.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Miyun saw her strange reaction and asked curiously.
His breath landed on Liu Xiangli's face. Perhaps it was because her fever hadn't subsided, but his breath was warm.
"No, get up and have some porridge." Liu Xiangli said in a rough voice, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"You wouldn't take advantage of me while I was unconscious, would you?”Bai Yunmi teased her in a good mood.
"Who…who wanted to take advantage of you? The towel fell off on its own.”Liu Xiangli quickly covered her mouth when she realized what she had said.
"Oh, so you saw me naked…You have to take responsibility!”
"What are you talking about? Do you want some porridge? If you don't drink it, I'll throw it away." It had been three years since they last met, and Brother Bai actually took pleasure in bullying her.
"Of course I drink, but you have to feed me.”He pulled her up and locked her in his arms.
"Why?" She protested unhappily. He was already awake, so it was not difficult for him to move his hands.
"Because I'm a patient." Haha, what a good reason. It was so simple that he could control her to death.
Unwillingly, Liu Xiangli picked up the bowl of porridge and fed it to him.
"Eat faster." She didn't want to speak in such a bad tone, but Brother Bai was clearly eating porridge, but his eyes were staring straight at her. It made her feel uneasy. The most annoying thing was his strange satisfied expression, as if the delicious thing wasn't the porridge but her.
"It's only been a day. Why have you changed?”She was back to the little woman who liked to order him around three years ago, but she was a little different.
"How is it? I've become ugly. Do you dislike me?" She really wanted to pour the entire bowl of porridge into his mouth.
"Of course not. I can't wait for you to stick to me every day.”He was really grateful to the heavens for sending her back to him. There was a time when he thought that he would never be able to tease her and say sweet nothings to her.
"Who wants to stick to you? Hurry up and eat!"
"This porridge is delicious. Where did you buy it?”Bai Miyun asked curiously.
"What did you buy? I cooked this.”If he had known earlier, he would have just bought a bowl on the street.
"You cooked it!" Bai Yunmi looked at her in shock, as if she was an alien.
"What? Can't I?" He had actually underestimated her. This was too much.
"I remember that you couldn't even tell salt from sugar in the past. How could you cook porridge?”
"For the sake of life." She shrugged and said it casually.
A look of apology flashed through Bai Yunmi's eyes.
"It's been hard on you for the past three years.”He grabbed her fingers and caressed them carefully, leaving many traces of injuries on them.
"No, working hard is a happy thing.”She would feel guilty if she was asked to shop for clothes now.
Bai Xunmi had never seen her so happy and satisfied. These three years of training had made the little woman he wanted to protect grow up.
"Where are you and Auntie living now?”
Liu Xiangli gave him an address.
"Since you're back in Taibei, why don't you go back to the house you used to live in?”Bai Miyun asked in confusion.
"That house has been auctioned off a long time ago. I wonder who bought it? I probably sold it for a good price, so the bank didn't ask me for any more money.”Speaking of that house, Liu Xiangli felt sad. After all, it was one of her father's hard work.
"You really don't know?" Bai Qianmi thought that the lawyer would inform her, but it seemed that the idiot was too unreliable.
"Know what?" Liu Xiangli looked at him questioningly.
"I've bid for that house.”
Liu Xiangli glared at him as if she had seen a monster in the Loch Ness.
"When I got the news back in my country, I immediately rushed to the auction to bid for it. I know that it means a lot to you, and I hoped to meet you at the market, but you didn't show up.”
"You…Why do you have to do this?" Liu Xiangli sighed. He had done so much for her, yet she still accused him of being a heartless man. It was a big mistake.
"I didn't mean to stand you up last night.”Seeing her expression turn sour, Bai Xunmi quickly changed the topic.
"Why are you drenched and sleeping on the bed? Did you get caught in the rain?”But the weather was great last night.
"He was pushed into the water by a crazy woman.”Thinking of Delise's evil deeds, perhaps he should find an opportunity to return the favor.
"Crazy woman? Don't tell me you've abandoned her after doing something to her?”Liu Xiangli asked suspiciously.
"Hey, am I that kind of person in your eyes?”Bai Miyun said unwillingly.
Liu Xiangli looked at him suspiciously. Who taught him to be too handsome?
Bai Xunmi pinched her cheek as punishment.
"It hurts!" Liu Xiangli cried out in pain and tried to fight back against the back of his hand, but she was stunned when she saw the silver ring on his hand.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yunmi followed her gaze and saw the ring on her finger.
" That ring is…" It looked so familiar!
"Have you forgotten? This is the birthday present you bought for me.”Bai Yunmi opened her palm and let her see the full appearance of the silver ring.
"Have you been wearing it?" Liu Xiangli asked bitterly. The gift hadn't been delivered to him, but now that he was wearing it, she really didn't know what to say.
"I look at it every day and miss you. It was all my fault that day. I will never leave you alone again.”Bai Miyun promised, but Liu Xiangli burst into tears.
"Why are you crying?" Ever since they reunited, he seemed to often make her cry, causing his heart to always be tightly clenched.
Liu Xiangli responded with a big hug. She threw herself into his arms and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, hugging him tightly.
To be honest, he was very happy that she was so proactive. However, he was not wearing any clothes now, and the bestial nature that he had suppressed for a long time was beginning to stir.
"I'm sorry, thank you…"
However, Liu Xiangli kept rubbing against his chest, challenging his self-control.
"Xiangli, if you continue hugging me, I can't guarantee what will happen.”Sigh, at such a touching moment, he really shouldn't have killed the scenery, but he really couldn't hold it in anymore. He was about to unleash his bestial nature.
Liu Xiangli blinked her eyes and looked at him in confusion.
Oh, her appearance was too innocent and too tempting. Bai Miyun hugged her tightly and covered her cherry lips without saying anything.
Liu Xiangli was still immersed in the feeling of being touched. She was shocked by his sudden action and quickly resisted. However, her whole body melted in his arms like cotton candy.
Xiangli, I want you." After the kiss ended, it seemed like ten minutes had passed. Bai Mi's deep voice seduced the angel in her arms.
What? Liu Xiangli, whose thoughts were still in chaos, was awakened by his words.
"I don't want you." She immediately covered her mouth, afraid that he would sneak up on her again.
Her words made Bai Xunmi look hurt.
"You're catching a cold. What if…what if you infect me? I hate taking medicine the most.”Liu Xiangli couldn't bear to explain.
What she meant was that after he recovered from his cold, he could…hehehe…
"You haven't recovered from your cold yet. Why did you insist on sending me back?”Liu Xiangli sat in the car, terrified by Bai Mianmi's actions. She was afraid that he would faint and the car would crash.
"I want to give auntie a gift."
Liu Xiangli shook her head disapprovingly. Can't you give me a gift when you're feeling better?
"We're here." Liu Xiangli unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door.
Bai Miyun got out of the car and pressed the central lock. Suddenly, a wave of dizziness hit him and he staggered.
"Are you alright?" Liu Xiangli supported him with concern.
"Let's go." Hugging Liu Xiangli in his arms, he gave her a reassuring smile.
Liu Xiangli brought Bai Mianmi back to the apartment on the third floor, but it was Bai Mianmi's love rival, Will, who opened the door.
"Why is he here?" Bai Miyun asked unhappily.
"Why are you here?" Will was also furious.
"Please, let me in first." Liu Xiangli didn't want to listen to two boring men quarrel.
"Xiao Li, you're back. Where did you go last night? You made me worry all night." Mother Liu asked with concern when she heard her daughter's voice.
"Auntie, I'm really sorry. Xiangli was taking care of me last night, so I forgot to inform you.”Bai Yunmi said, smiling at Mother Liu, whom she hadn't seen for many years.
"Mi Mi! It's really you. Come, come, sit down.”
Will felt bad as he looked at Bai Xunmi being treated like a VIP. Before he appeared, he was the VIP of the Liu family.
"Mom, he said he wanted to see you before he recovered. I couldn't stop him.”Liu Xiangli glared at Bai Lingmi. She really didn't understand when his temper had become so stubborn.
"Are you too tired from work? I'll make you a cup of ginseng tea." Mother Liu said reluctantly. She had always cared for Bai Yunmi like a son.
"He caught a cold because of a woman.”Liu Xiangli deliberately ruined his reputation in front of everyone.
"Xiangli, speaking of this, I'm definitely more loyal than him. I'll wait for you at any time and definitely won't provoke Wildflower.”Will followed her words and paused.
"Give up as soon as possible. Xiangli is mine." Bai MiMi retorted fiercely.
Please! Can these two men not be so childish? Liu Xiangli shook her head.
"You should take your medicine." Liu Xiangli took out the medicine packet and placed it in front of Bai Miyun.
"You feed me."
"Don't you have hands? You still need someone to feed you." Will immediately protested in dissatisfaction.
"Don't go too far." Liu Xiangli lowered her head and warned him.
How could Bai Yumi let go of this great opportunity? She took the opportunity to peck her cherry lips, almost causing Will to have a heart attack.
Mother Liu looked at them with satisfaction. She knew that her daughter could not let him go.
Liu Xiangli angrily punched him.
"Auntie, this is my gift to you.”After taking the medicine with the water Liu Xiangli handed over, Bai Yunmi immediately gave him a big gift.
"This is?" Mother Liu opened the small paper box and saw a key lying inside. With just a glance, she recognized that it was the key to the Liu family mansion.
A key was enough to move Aunt Liu to tears. Will scratched his head, not understanding what was going on.
"I'll come and help you move next week.”
Oh, so it was to give a house. He knew this trick too.
"Auntie, I booked a floor in the city planning area last time. I was just about to pick you and Xiangli up to live there. This key is too old.”
"Come on, you're so lame. That's the home where Xiangli lived for more than 20 years.”Bai Yunmi replied coldly. This guy couldn't beat him anyway, so she might as well get lost to avoid embarrassing herself again.
"I can't accept such a precious gift.”Mother Liu excitedly returned the small paper box to Bai Yingmi.
"Auntie, when Xiangli marries me, what's mine will be hers. Moreover, this house originally belongs to you.”
Hearing his words, Liu Xiangli nudged him with her elbow. When did she agree to marry him?
Will almost vomited blood when he heard this. He didn't know about the " past " between Bai Mianmi and the Liu family. How could he successfully capture the heart of a beautiful woman?
"If possible, I hope to take you there now.”Bai Xunmi stood up, her body a little unsteady.
"You're already a sick cat, yet you're still trying to be brave.”Will looked at him disapprovingly.
"You'll feel sleepy after taking the medicine.”Liu Xiangli quickly supported him.
"I'm fine. If you're worried about my driving skills, don't we have a ready-made driver who can send us there now?”Bai Miyun glanced at Will.
What the hell! Of course, Will was unhappy that he was being treated as a chauffeur. He would be willing to drive the Liu family's mother and daughter in the middle of the night, but that did not include this man who had stolen his love.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Mother Liu looked at Will gratefully.
When they returned to the Liu residence, Mother Liu and Liu Xiangli were filled with emotions. When they thought of everything that had happened in the past, they couldn't help but feel sad.
"Auntie, open the door." Bai Yunmi placed her hand on Liu Xiangli's shoulder, silently giving her support and strength.
Pushing open the slightly mottled door, the mother and daughter originally thought that they would see a dilapidated home, but who knew that it was exactly the same as when they left three years ago.
"This place…how did this happen?" Liu Xiangli asked in surprise.
"I always believed that you would return to my side, so I tidied up the house and waited for its owner to return.”
" Mi Mi, thank you." Mother Liu looked at the decoration that was exactly the same as the old house. All kinds of memories of her late husband surged up in her mind. She couldn't help but thank Bai Mi for her thoughtfulness.
Will pursed his lips unwillingly. Seeing that they were extremely touched, he knew that what Bai Xumi had done meant something to them. Fighting with him for Xiangli would be futile.
Bai Yunmi looked at Liu Xiangli's tearful eyes and kissed her cheek lovingly, hugging her tightly.
Just as he finally succeeded in winning the title of defending the throne in the field of love, his career was about to face a storm.#
