When Gu Jueye saw that she had stopped, he turned his head to look at her curiously.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm wondering, since there's a Time Bureau image on the parchment scroll, is it possible that the Time Bureau and the 'Hippocratic' people have some kind of connection?"
Gu Jueye chuckled and reached out to hook Bai Qianmo's nose: "Our thoughts always coincide."
"Therefore, finding someone from the Time Bureau might lead to finding the descendants of the 'Xi' clan."
Gu Jueye glanced at the sky; the gray sky was dotted with a few scattered snowflakes.
"It's going to snow soon, let's go down the mountain first."

Bai Xiruo was discharged from the hospital.
Bai Kangyan and Han Songyan came to pick her up.
Bai Kangyan was genuinely worried about Bai Xiruo, while Han Songyan was simply trying to avoid arousing Bai Kangyan's suspicions, so she put on a friendly facade in front of Bai Xiruo against her will.
"Mom and Dad, I already told you I can go home by myself, why did you still come all the way here?"
Bai Xiruo sat on the hospital bed, already dressed in her discharge clothes.
Gu Hongxun was also there, sitting by the hospital bed, holding an apple and carefully peeling it.
"Uncle, Aunt!" Gu Hongxun immediately stood up to greet Bai Kangyan and Han Songyan as they entered the ward.
Bai Kangyan had a very good impression of Gu Hongxun.
On the day of the old man's birthday banquet, it was this young man who brought Xi Ruo to the hospital in time. This time, when Xi Ruo was injured, he brought her over personally again. The only drawback is that he is two years younger than Xi Ruo.
“Of course we had to come over now that you’re discharged from the hospital. Your mom even made you some chicken soup. It’s not too late yet, so let’s have some chicken soup before we go.” As he spoke, Bai Kangyan opened the thermos and poured out a bowl, handing it to Bai Xiruo.
"Uncle, Xi Ruo's arm is injured and it's not very convenient for her, so let me feed her."
“This…” Bai Kangyan looked at Bai Xiruo.
Bai Xiruo glanced at Gu Hongxun somewhat shyly.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Bai Kangyan handed the bowl to Gu Hongxun, who carefully fed it to Bai Xiruo's lips, bite by bite.
"Watch out, it's hot!"
"Okay!" Bai Xiruo nodded obediently.
"Xi Ruo, drink the chicken soup first. Your mother and I will go and help you with the discharge procedures."
"Dad, Mom, thank you for your help."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are our daughter, what trouble or not?"
Bai Kangyan winked at Han Songyan, who was standing to the side in a daze.
Han Songyan snapped out of her thoughts, glanced at Bai Xiruo and Gu Hongxun, and then followed Bai Kangyan out of the ward.
"Wife, what do you think of Hongxun?"
Bai Kangyan and Han Songyan walked down the hospital corridor. Bai Kangyan smiled and asked a question.
Han Songyan frowned slightly and turned her head to glance at Bai Kangyan.
"Xi Ruo already explained to the media this morning that she and Gu Hongxun are not in a romantic relationship."
"I think they both have feelings for each other, so it's not a bad thing to start as friends. If they develop into a couple over time, I would be happy to see it happen. Gu Hongxun is good-looking and comes from a good family, so he and Xi Ruo are a good match."
"I don't think so!" If someone like Bai Xiruo were to marry Gu Hongxun, wouldn't that be like sending this promising young man into a fire pit?
Bai Kangyan looked at Han Songyan with a helpless expression: "You can't bear to part with Xiruo, can you? I understand how you feel as a mother, but Xiruo is already in college, and she's reached the age where she should be dating. Don't wait until all the good boys have been chosen before you agree to let Xiruo find a boyfriend. By then, she might not even be able to find someone she likes."
Han Songyan forced a smile.
All she wants now is for Bai Xiruo to leave the Bai family completely. How could she possibly care whether or not she's in a relationship?
"By the way, Qianmo's birthday is coming up soon. What do you think would be a suitable birthday gift for her this year?" Han Songyan changed the subject.
Bai Kangyan smacked his forehead: "Yes, the two kids' birthdays are coming up, we need to prepare properly."
Han Songyan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll take care of the birthday party. You should call Qianmo as soon as possible, and we can hold a family banquet at home to invite some relatives and friends to have a good time. It's also a good opportunity to introduce Qianmo to everyone."
Bai Kangyan looked at Han Songyan intently for a while, his mind filled with astonishment.
"You seem to care a lot about Qianmo lately."
"She's my daughter, if I don't care about her, who else can I care about?"
Bai Kangyan: ...
He had a vague feeling that his wife's personality had changed drastically overnight.
When Xi Ruo was sick, she went to the hospital every day. Not trusting the food outside, she cooked chicken soup for her daughter herself.
But today, if he hadn't brought up the chicken soup, she seemed to have completely forgotten about it.
On the contrary, those who used to ridicule and ignore Qianmo are now showing concern and care.
The change was so obvious that he couldn't help but wonder if his wife had recently experienced some kind of upheaval.
