Having successfully passed his sister's test, Bai Yun'an noticed that his second brother, who should have been in the house, was nowhere to be seen.
"Juanjuan, where's Second Brother?"
Juanjuan shook her head: "I don't know, I just woke up."
The door was pushed open as soon as the child finished speaking.
Amidst the raging winds outside, Bai Yunxing stared intently at his third brother, who was sitting on the bed.
The third brother wasn't in the house just now, and neither was the eldest brother.
He waited outside the house, but did not see the third brother return.
So, what exactly happened?
Bai Yun'an knew that he had been tricked by his older brother today.
This is a bit tricky now, and it's not easy to handle.
They didn't catch them in the act, but the implication was too clear.
Juanjuan turned to look at her third brother, her heart already beginning to pound with anxiety for him.
So, is Third Brother going to confess?
Once her third brother confessed, she was the only one left in the family with the secret.
"Is Juanjuan alright? Was she scared?"
Jiang Dai and Bai Tian braved the rain to reach the door of the side room, mainly to check if the only real child in the family had been frightened.
The remaining three...
He's even bolder than the two of them.
Juanjuan sat on the bed, her soft black hair cascading down her back. She looked innocent and adorable, and when she saw her parents and brothers who were all watching her, a quiet and well-behaved smile appeared on her face.
"With my parents and brothers around, I have nothing to be afraid of."
The child's honest words struck a chord with everyone present, bringing them joy.
Jiang Dai nodded: "Yes, our parents and brothers are here!"
Bai Tian subconsciously looked around and then successfully discovered a bug: it seemed... someone was missing?
"Where's your eldest brother? Where's Bai Yunqi? Where's Bai Gou Dan?"
Bai Tian asked three questions in a row, all directed at the same person, but no one responded to him.
His two sons looked at him with some doubt, as if he shouldn't have asked the question.
Jiang Dai: ...
Silently tiptoeing closer to Bai Tian's ear, she whispered, "Have you forgotten? We went to treat Bai Jiaxing tonight."
Bai Tian:......
Oh right, he remembered.
He was a little dazed when he first woke up and forgot for a moment, but mainly it was because Bai Gou Dan had a lot of past offenses.
"Hey, Dad, you're looking for me?"
A face with a bright smile peeked out from the doorway; it was Bai Yunqi.
The terrifying lightning and thunder outside came and went quickly.
Juanjuan knew that the "adults" in the family were about to start telling secrets again, and then she, the child, would have to go to sleep.
There's no other way, so I'll just go to sleep.
After Juanjuan fell asleep, the remaining members of the Bai family who hadn't run away gathered together.
The familiar table, the familiar night, the familiar five people.
Bai Tian: "How is it? The person should be saved, right?"
"Of course!"
Bai Yunqi's smile grew even brighter. He lay on the table, his legs swinging restlessly with joy.
Jiang Dai: "What about the lightning and thunder just now?"
"Oh, this one!" Bai Yunqi: "Chop me down."
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Bai Yunqi still smiled, his eyes crinkling: "But don't worry about me, the Prime Minister's family next door has plenty of little gold."
There was a brief silence in the room.
Bai Yunqi's smile faded slightly, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, when you came to strike me, you struck the Mu family instead, which could push the poison in Bai Jiaxing's body onto the one who was struck!"
"What do you call this? This is called the chosen one. A person who survives a great calamity is bound to have good fortune. He was struck by lightning, and the poison disappeared. What a perfect explanation!"
Silence remained inside.
"Also, I've discovered a secret."
Bai Yunqi lowered his voice and whispered his words, then glanced at the remaining people.
Bai Yun'an smiled as he looked at his elder brother.
Bai Tian:?
Why does the atmosphere seem tense?
"The secret is, when the lightning strikes tonight..." Bai Yunqi's gaze swept over his third brother, "it won't kill me!"
Bai Yun'an smiled slightly at his elder brother.
Jiang Dai: "Is this what happened tonight because you saved someone and defied fate for them?"
Bai Yunqi hesitated for a moment: "I think so."
In fact, it is more likely that he set up a spirit-gathering array, and the fluctuation of spiritual energy was too great, which caused the heavenly lightning to be activated.
However, defying fate is not impossible. It's just that Bai Jiaxing is not a big problem, but if it involves people in the capital, then things might be different.
but……
Bai Yunqi smiled brightly at his third brother.
Just now, I'm sure I scared the little third child a bit!
They went back inside.
Bai Yunqi asked his two younger brothers with a smile, "Which of you woke up first? You were both in the room, didn't you notice anything unusual?"
Bai Yun'an's gaze shifted slightly.
This guy's up to no good!
Bai Yunxing keenly sensed that the atmosphere between the two brothers seemed a bit off, and then he thought about how his third brother had suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared.
