"Sis, I’m your little brother."
Bai Yifan helplessly corrected.
"Don’t mind these details."
Bai Xiqin rubbed her somewhat confused head and continued eating.
This was a series of reactions caused by a brain injury, which made Bai Xiqin a lot slower and her thinking a lot less sharp.
Up until now, she hadn’t questioned the real reason Zhang Yiming hadn’t stayed at the safe base, nor had she thought to ask if the person who injured her was still alive.
"Yeah! Your sister can call you whatever she wants, why argue with her!" Wang Yiyun looked at Bai Xiqin with a heart full of pity.
She felt her daughter must have a concussion.
So tragic.
"Yes, Grandma is right."
As Bai Xiqin was talking, Liu Jing happened to give Bai Xiqin some food. Bai Xiqin originally wanted to say mom was right, but it accidentally came out as grandma.
The atmosphere came to a halt.
"Daughter, I think you still need to pay attention to these details."
Wang Yiyun fiercely put a piece of tomato that Bai Xiqin didn’t like much on her plate and even served her a bowl of tomato soup.
It was definitely not revenge; she just felt her injured daughter should eat well to recover.
Bai Xiqin blinked at the tomatoes in front of her, and without thinking, she lowered her head and finished them all.
After eating, she held the bowl up to Wang Yiyun, blinking her big eyes.
Not enough to eat~
Wang Yiyun was perplexed.
"Sis, if I may ask, how old are you this year?" Bai Yifan inquired.
"23."
Bai Xiqin blurted out her age without hesitation, but she had lost half a year of her memory and underreported her age by two years.
It’s a sort of self-discipline for beautiful women; their stated age is just their real age, never inflated.
Bai Family: ...
Oh no, Xiao Niu really isn’t doing well.
"Xiao Niu, you’re 25." Leng Yebai corrected, pursing his lips.
He was increasingly worried; Xiao Niu looked worse.
"Who are you! Why are you eating at my house?" Bai Xiqin directly rolled her eyes at the straightforward Leng Yebai.
Even though Leng Yebai made the food, Bai Xiqin couldn’t resist giving him a hard time.
A woman’s age and weight are not to be inquired about, and yet Leng Yebai deliberately said she was 25, so of course, Bai Xiqin didn’t have a pleasant demeanor.
"I’ll... try to eat less." Leng Yebai, taken aback, silently put down his chopsticks.
Being scolded by Xiao Niu, he obviously couldn’t fight back, only able to sit on the stool, watching everyone else eat with eager eyes. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Such a big guy, scolded by Bai Xiqin’s words, looked quite pitiful, making the scene a bit surreal.
Bai Xiqin: ...
She wondered if his brain was functioning properly.
"Everyone’s having a meal!"
At that moment, the Base Commander came in holding a big box, seeing that the bus door was open, and walked straight into the living room with the box.
Seeing the table full of food, the Base Commander’s smile widened.
It’s not about coming early, but coming just in time, and even getting a free meal.
Moreover, the food was made by his son, and the aroma was even better.
The Base Commander didn’t wait for the Bai Family to invite him; he skillfully found a seat and served himself a big bowl of rice.
While no one was paying attention, he pressed down on the rice in the bowl with force.
He could eat a bit more.
"Why are you here? Freeloading on food!"
Seeing that Bai Xiqin didn’t scold the newly entered Base Commander, Leng Yebai couldn’t resist and did it himself.
Why should he be the only one scolded for freeloading; others should feel it too.
"We’re all family here, no need to say such harsh things like freeloading on food. I’m just eating at my own house, no need to stand on ceremony." The Base Commander shamelessly looked at Bai Anhai and said, "Right, in-laws!"
The Base Commander’s words left Leng Yebai momentarily stunned and enlightened.
The art of language sure is fascinating.
Leng Yebai decisively stopped scolding, and even for the first time actively gave the Base Commander a piece of meat.
The Base Commander looked at the meat in his bowl, feeling surprisingly flattered.
"In-laws, if you need anything, just let me know. Anything I can do, I’ll absolutely make it happen. The two kids have been together for so long, I’ll start preparing the dowry now, don’t hesitate to ask."
The Base Commander exuded an air of opulence, sneaking a peak at Leng Yebai as he spoke.
Upon hearing the Base Commander’s words, Leng Yebai’s eyes lit up significantly.
Xiao Niu could make a killing again.
Leng Yebai didn’t mind at all that the Base Commander was preparing a dowry, essentially marrying Leng Yebai off.
In any case, money or Crystal Cores, it was all a parent’s love.
"Well... let’s talk about it in a week!" Bai Anhai scratched his head, seeing Bai Xiqin giving him a cold look, feeling unsure to agree right now.
After all, his daughter didn’t remember anything about Leng Yebai yet.
"You can’t back out, a son married off is like water thrown out, there’s no reason to take it back." The Base Commander, seeing Bai Anhai hesitating, was anxious.
"You can’t just abandon Xiao Leng, who’s stuck by your side, can you? Besides, he’s about a hundred kilos of flesh, you can’t just throw him away! That wouldn’t be right!"
"He’s right!" Leng Yebai nodded.
Bai Anhai: ...
When did he say he’d back out?
Backing out is impossible, unless Leng Yebai doesn’t take back the supplies prepared before the doomsday, otherwise Bai Anhai wouldn’t back out.
Bai Xiqin rubbed her temples, just about to retort, when she saw Leng Yebai’s melancholic eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she swallowed back her words.
"Daughter-in-law, I don’t know what to give you, so I’ll give you Crystal Cores! Use them to exchange for whatever you want! Consider it a meeting gift."
The Base Commander placed the box he brought next to Bai Xiqin.
The box was twice the size of a handbag, looking heavy.
"I don’t want it." Bai Xiqin shook her head.
No amorous memories with Leng Yebai existed in her mind, so how could she accept a meeting gift!
"Take it, don’t let it go to waste!" Leng Yebai insisted earnestly.
He believed that if Xiao Niu didn’t take it, she would regret it when she regained her memory.
Bai Xiqin still wanted to say something, but Leng Yebai had already opened the box.
He just wanted to see how much the Base Commander had given, if it was too little, he’d have to ask for more.
"Hiss——"
As the box opened, Bai Yifan gasped.
The box was neatly filled with high-rank Crystal Cores, Third Rank, Fourth Rank, and even Fifth Rank Crystal Cores!
Not a single Second Rank Crystal Core!
Bai Yifan touched the Third Rank Crystal Core in his pocket, polished shiny with handling, face full of shock.
Like a little hamster with an acorn seeing another hamster with a burrow full of acorns.
At this moment, Bai Yifan found Leng Yebai looked quite handsome; forget being male, even if he were a husky, Bai Yifan would be tempted!
"I didn’t know what to give, so please don’t mind it." The Base Commander said, a little embarrassed.
The daughter-in-law was injured, he should have given some supplements, but the Bai Family was too rich to need supplements, so he decided to go with something more mundane, give Crystal Cores!
The Base Commander felt he was dirt poor, with nothing but Crystal Cores.
"In-laws, your words seem a bit formal, let’s eat!"
Bai Anhai calmly gave the Base Commander some food, his face revealing no particular expression, but his actions spoke of Bai the Lawyer’s principles.
His principle was money talks.
