Xu Shan couldn't help but let out her tears again, which had just stopped due to shock.
Unable to restrain herself any longer, she threw herself into Xiaobai's arms regardless of the dirt on her body.
"Silly boy, you scared me to death! I thought you wouldn't come back. Why did you run away? Who cares about the money you earn? Do you know how heartbroken Dabai and I were after you left?" She looked aggrieved, tears welling in her eyes. She threw herself into his arms, tightly grasped his shirt from the chest, and complained as she hit him a few times.
Xiaobai hugged her silently, patted her back, and comforted her a little bit bewilderedly: "Xiaoshan, from now on, I will never leave again."
"Where have you been these years? Why are you dressed like this?" Xu Shan wiped her tears, looked at his now bright and handsome appearance, and asked the question in her heart.
Xiaobai pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer. Instead, he took her hand and said, "Let's go make money."
"Have you earned enough money?"
"I've earned enough, so I came back to marry you. Are you still willing to marry me?"
Xu Shan chuckled and said naively, "If you don't come back, I will marry someone else. After you left, many people pursued me. The day before yesterday, a big boss confessed his love to me. I...well..."
Before Xu Shan could finish her words, Xiaobai held her face and blocked her mouth with his hot lips. The frightened Xu Shan was stunned, her eyes wide open, not knowing how to respond.
Xiaobai didn't do anything deeper, he just kept his lips on hers and let go after a moment.
"You can't go back on your word. I'm a very domineering and persistent person. Once I've made up my mind about something, I never give others a chance to escape."
"You...you...Xiaobai, are you not stupid anymore?"
Only then did Xu Shan realize that Xiaobai no longer spoke in a naive tone as before. His voice was deep and clear, without any childishness.
Besides, Silly Xiaobai doesn't understand things like kissing.
Xiaobai cupped her face and admitted with a smile, "Well, I recovered after being away for half a month. Later, I returned to my original place to deal with some things, which delayed my return to see you. Also, my real last name is Bai, Bai Ruhai."
"Bai Ruhai? What a nice name! Xiaobai, you've recovered your memory. I thought you'd be captured by bad guys and forced to do hard labor after you got out. I was so worried about you the whole day."
As Xu Shan spoke, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Xiaobai pulled her into his arms and comforted her for a while, and only then did she calm down.
"I've been back for a long time, but I haven't seen Dabai yet."
"Dabai is injured."
Xiaobai suddenly frowned: "Are you injured?"
"Well, something happened these days. Our chickens and ducks were poisoned to death, and Dabai was also injured."
Xu Shan said something to Xiaobai in general, took Xiaobai to see the chicken coop, and then went to the pet store to see Dabai.
Dabai recovered well today. The moment he saw Xiaobai, he stood up excitedly.
Xu Shan smiled aside. No matter what Xiaobai became, Dabai would always remember him.
Holding Dabai, Xiaobai played with it for a while, and then Xu Shan asked the boss when she could take Dabai back.
The boss said we have to wait two days.
"Xiaoshan, don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
"Xiaobai, the vandals are probably from the village. They might be jealous of my business, but there are so many people in the village, we can't check them all one by one. Also, the village chief said that a port might be built here, and Turtle Island might be expropriated. I've already started looking for a place. It's a good thing you came back. If you were a little later, you might not have found me."
"Xiaoshan, there's no need to move. Turtle Island has been home to my happiest times over the past twenty years. I don't want to leave. Let's live here from now on."
"How can I live there forever? There's no electricity there. We need to develop. If the village develops, that land will definitely be expropriated."
Xiaobai held Xu Shan's hand and comforted her silently. After coming out of the pet shop, he took Xu Shan to an expensive private car.
As soon as she sat down, Xu Shan was still full of questions when two young men in suits in the row in front of her smiled and called out to her, "Hello, sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law? Who are you?"
Xiaobai said to the two men, "Drive carefully and don't scare her."
After saying that, he turned to Xu Shan and said, "This is my brother. He has been with me for seven or eight years."
"So this car? Is it... yours too?"
Xiaobai rubbed Xu Shan's hair and nodded.
When they reached the shore, Xiaobai took Xu Shan out of the car. After talking for quite some time, his two brothers drove away.
Leaving Xiaobai behind, he took Xu Shan and rowed back to the island.
"Third brother, did I see it wrong? The eldest brother has been smiling since he saw his sister-in-law."
"That's right, and my future sister-in-law calls our boss Xiaobai. Tsk tsk, I've been with the boss for so many years, and I've never seen him smile at anyone."
"The second oldest has definitely seen it. He's been with the oldest since he was a kid, so he knows it best."
"It's useless to ask. Our second brother said that ever since he met the eldest brother, he has always had a sullen face. Even when he encounters something happy, he never expresses it in words or actions. Believe it or not, let's go back and tell the second brother that the eldest brother was laughing like an idiot. He must have thought we were joking."
"Absolutely. Let's not talk about that for now. Let's get down to business first. We have to hurry up and do what the boss has told us to do."
...
"Xiaobai, what did you do before?"
"I'll tell you what's going on. Don't chase me away, and don't be afraid."
When they arrived on the island, Xu Shan asked about the doubts in her heart.
"What's there to be afraid of? Just tell me." Xu Shan felt amused when she saw how nervous he was.
Xiaobai coughed solemnly, pulled Xu Shan, and looked directly at her with his deep eyes: "Xiaoshan, I'm from the underworld. I've killed people, seized territories, and laundered money. Are you... afraid?"
After hearing this, Xu Shan didn't know how to respond for a long time. She stared at Xiaobai without blinking, trying to figure out what he really wanted.
She didn't understand why Xiaobai, who was so cute and harmless, would do this.
"Before, when we were watching TV, you said that the scenes there were very familiar to you. So they were all real?"
Xiaobai nodded and hugged Xu Shan into his arms: "Xiaoshan, don't be afraid of me, don't reject me, I have changed. Ever since I met you, I have changed my mind. I spent two years dealing with the aftermath, giving up everything before, starting over, and coming back to live a different life with you."
"I...I wasn't scared of you. I just wasn't expecting it."
Xu Shan didn't feel frightened in Xiaobai's arms, but instead felt a little relieved.
She never cared what Xiaobai did before. As long as he was doing well now, nothing else mattered.
The Xiaobai she knew had always had a pure and kind heart and always treated her as a treasure, and that was enough.
Hearing Xu Shan's words, Xiaobai suddenly smiled. It was a very beautiful smile, like a beautiful boy in a comic book. "As long as you don't dislike me, Xiaoshan, I have always been the Xiaobai in your heart. I have never changed. I now have a company with my brothers and live a normal life."
