On the way back from the hospital, Bai Wan'er remained silent, gazing quietly out the window.
Ji Feng hesitated for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "I didn't mean to hide what happened back then, it's just that it was related to your husband. He caused you such a big blow, and I don't want you to recall those painful memories."
"It's my right to know the truth. Are you planning to keep this a secret for the rest of your life?" Bai Wan'er hated being deceived and was even more furious at this moment.
“That’s not what I meant.” Ji Fenghe didn’t know how to explain.
He was in the wrong from the start, and now he has no way to defend himself.
He did have his own selfish motives; as long as Bai Wan'er never thought about the past, he could stay by her side forever.
The two walked forward in silence. Ji Fenghe dropped Bai Wan'er off at the door and watched her open it quietly before leaving with peace of mind.
Bai Wan'er was about to tiptoe back to the bedroom when she saw a small figure swaying gently on the sofa.
An'an was sitting on the sofa waiting for him. She was so tired that she was almost falling asleep, and she was swaying as she sat on the sofa.
"Mom, why are you only coming back now?" An'an rubbed her sleepy eyes, and when she caught sight of the wound on Bai Wan'er's forehead, she jumped up in surprise. "Mom, what happened? How did you get hurt?"
Bai Wan'er sighed helplessly and gently comforted her, "It's okay, Mom just accidentally scratched herself."
An'an hesitated for a moment, then suddenly widened her eyes and said, "Oh, right, Mom, an uncle just came to give you something. I've never seen him before, but he said he's Mom's good friend."
Sending something?
How can I make friends when I'm in an unfamiliar place?
Bai Wan'er immediately picked her up anxiously: "Didn't I tell you not to open the door for strangers? Why don't you listen?"
An'an lowered her head, feeling wronged: "But she knows Mom's phone number, a secret that only you and I know."
phone number?
Bai Wan'er suddenly realized something and turned to look at another sofa, where there was a beautifully crafted little box.
There was no signature or any notes.
Upon opening it, I found a bottle of medicated plaster that effectively removes scars without leaving a trace. It was an extremely rare and priceless plaster.
She turned away wearily, forgetting the call history on her phone, wondering whether she should make the call.
I already owe him a favor, and now I don't know how to thank him enough.
After thinking for a long time, I couldn't help but dial the number: "Brother Yun, I received the scar removal cream you sent."
"It's good that you received it. It's good that you're not seriously ill."
Chu Yunxing was sitting in the car, quietly watching the lights come on in her house.
In the past, I would have looked down on this kind of behavior.
But ever since what happened today, he has had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Bai Wan'er's initiative to ask for help had such a huge impact on him that he was in a daze and couldn't tell whether he had feelings for Bai Wan'er or subconsciously mistook her for Song Mai.
He frowned wearily and leaned back in his chair.
"Get some rest, don't worry about what happened today," Chu Yunxing murmured to himself, as if giving a word of advice.
"Do you have time tomorrow? I'd like to invite you to dinner." Bai Wan'er waited quietly for his response.
The two could only hear each other's breathing; the whole world fell silent.
"sure."
Chu Yunxing smiled and nodded. After hanging up the phone, he saw the room lights quickly turn off before letting Assistant Lu drive.
The next morning, Ji Fenghe arrived at Bai Wan'er's house and learned from An'an that she wanted to have dinner alone with Chu Yunxing, which made him very nervous.
"I'll be with you."
Bai Wan'er had never realized that he was so clingy to her, even following her closely in small things like meals, which made her feel a little strange for a moment.
"No need, my business isn't important. Didn't you say you had an important meeting today? Don't waste time."
Ji Fenghe sensed Bai Wan'er's refusal and nodded gently, saying with a hint of disappointment, "I'll pick you up after dinner."
On her way here, Bai Wan'er happened to pass by a bridge. Looking at the empty bridge, fragmented thoughts suddenly flashed through her mind.
She instinctively widened her eyes, her head throbbed with pain, and she was completely unable to concentrate.
She frantically pulled the car over to the side of the road, trying desperately to grasp the fleeting fragments of memory that flashed through her mind.
But for some reason, I can't recall those scenes at all.
After a long while, the police, worried, knocked on the window, which gradually brought her attention back.
"Parking is not allowed here. Are you having some kind of difficulty?"
Bai Wan'er shook her head repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I suddenly felt a little unwell just now."
"Don't drive dangerously. Feel free to ask for help anytime."
"I'm fine now, sorry." She stepped on the gas and drove off, feeling no further discomfort on her way to the restaurant.
Upon arriving at the restaurant that had been booked in advance, he found that Chu Yunxing was already waiting for him.
She stepped forward with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to arrive so early."
"Since it was nearby, I came straight here."
Chu Yunxing looked at her with a gentle smile and said, "Is your injury serious? You look so haggard."
"It's nothing, just a minor scratch."
"That's good."
The two remained silent, neither of them speaking again.
How could this be so awkward...?
Chu Yunxing suddenly looked up and gave her a strange look: "Do you feel the atmosphere is bad right now?"
Bai Wan'er also looked up, glancing at him with a somewhat surprised expression: "No, I think it's fine now."
"You weren't just..."
The words were on the tip of his tongue when Chu Yunxing suddenly shuddered.
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, looking at Bai Wan'er with a complicated expression.
What I just heard was her inner voice; such a strange thing has only happened to Song Mai.
Could it be that she really is Song Mai?
The joy of regaining what he had lost was almost overwhelming him. He stared intently at Bai Wan'er, his eyes filled with determination.
Five years... I've finally found you!
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Wan'er felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze, and subconsciously looked down and turned her head left and right, asking curiously.
Chu Yunxing then realized what was happening and quickly returned to normal, a smile playing on his lips: "It's nothing, I just remembered something."
[This Master Yun usually seems decisive and efficient, so why is he acting so strangely sometimes?]
Hearing Bai Wan'er's thoughts once again, Chu Yunxing's smile grew even brighter. He suppressed his excitement, staring intently at the delicious food in front of him, completely oblivious to everything else.
