I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 713: Chapter 721 I Feel Like I Can’t Trust Anyone Anymore

Bai Zhi had always been contemplating how to make herself better, to avoid repeating the life she had led in her previous existence.

That’s why, often, what others saw was the fruit of her hard work.

She must be sensible, diligent, and understanding.

She told others to be brave and be themselves, to not care about the opinions of others, yet she did the exact opposite.

Because she did not allow herself to fail or let others see her in a poor light.

But she too had emotions, especially lately.

Her mood had been particularly bad recently.

From Ye Xiu to Bai Fei, each had dealt her a heavy blow.

It made her start to doubt whether it was because she was too kind, too understanding that everyone thought she lacked temper.

“Is it because I’m too easygoing that they all think I should always keep soothing them, that I shouldn’t have my own emotions?!”

“I’m also doted on by my grandfather, I have people looking out for me, so why should I always be the one to bow my head? I refuse!”

Bai Zhi pouted, her eyes red and brimming with anger. She walked over and slapped the table in frustration.

“You, hurry up and grill some meat for me, I’m hungry.”

Moh Li pulled her to sit down, “Little Ancestor, sit here and I’ll grill it for you, okay?”

Moh Li had never seen this side of Bai Zhi, shouting in anger, getting mad, commanding him.

But he actually found it wonderful, such a girl was wonderful. Truly, very wonderful…

“Okay…”

Suddenly, Bai Zhi became docile, obediently sitting and watching Moh Li without blinking.

Unusually docile, it tickled Moh Li’s heart as if a feather was brushing against it.

That feeling, it was ticklish.

Moh Li quickly grilled the meat and brought it over to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi revealed a sweet smile, her eyes wary and cautious.

“Am I behaving, am I behaving?”

This scene made Moh Li’s heart ache, it was extremely distressing because he did not want her to be like this at all.

“You’re not, didn’t you say be yourself, do whatever you feel like, as long as you feel happy?”

Moh Li’s eyes reddened, looking at Bai Zhi with a pained expression.

Yet Bai Zhi suddenly laughed, reaching out to pinch Moh Li’s cheek.

“Your face is really cute.”

Moh Li helplessly massaged her head.

“Hmm, if you say it’s cute, it’s cute. Try it, see if it’s tasty.”

Bai Zhi bit into it vigorously and then frowned, “Not tasty…”

Moh Li felt a little embarrassed, “Then don’t eat it, give it to me.”

When Moh Li tried to take it, Bai Zhi dodged, “No, you can’t waste, don’t you know that?”

“It doesn’t matter, I’ll eat it, you have something tasty.”

Moh Li took it from her hand and started eating, bite after bite, giving the well-grilled meat to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi blinked, “Why do you have to be nice to me?”

All this time it had been her being nice to others, nice to Bai Fei, Bai Xiang, Wu Wa. Nice to everyone, always giving, but she also had her own emotions.

And then there was Ye Xiu, who apologized to her, who said she would never hurt her again.

But time and again had hurt her. Only at this moment did she realize that she actually minded.

“If I’m not nice to you, then who should I be nice to? Isn’t it what you said, that you have to take responsibility for me?”

Moh Li naturally looked at Bai Zhi and reached out to pinch her nose, doting on her as he did so.

Bai Zhi blinked her eyes somewhat blankly, “Did I say that? I don’t remember.

Oh, and there’s another thing, that senior Bai Fei is actually my brother.”

Moh Li: “What do you mean? I don’t understand?”

Moh Li looked at Bai Zhi in shock, seeing from her eyes that as she spoke those words, her eyes were shining.

“Maybe you can’t understand. He’s different from Han Feng. Han Feng was a playmate from my childhood, but Xu Yan truly is like a brother to me.

Just as Bai Xiang, even though he’s good to both me and Bai Fei, would certainly side with Bai Fei if something serious happened—it’s beyond doubt.

So to me, he’s like what Bai Xiang is to Bai Fei.

No matter what happens, whether he’s here or not, I can tell myself that I have a brother, that I have someone to rely on.

He is my backbone, my warmth of home.

I never thought that I would meet him in this world, I thought we would never see each other again in this life.”

But he came, he’s here, and he came here ten years ago looking for her.

He said that the Drunken Moon Restaurant was for her, that he always believed that everything from the past was real.

He is still her brother.

But he is also not her brother.

Because she is Bai Zhi, she doesn’t have a brother.

Yet, he is her brother, such a complicated relationship.

Even though Bai Fei says it’s not okay, she still can’t stop contacting Xu Yan.

Because to her, Xu Yan is the most unique existence in her heart.

“I’m starting to get confused, what is reality and what is a dream. Moh Li, am I sick?”

Bai Zhi took Moh Li’s hands, looking at her blankly, her eyes full of confusion—she truly didn’t know whether she was sick.

“This world? You mean…”

Although Moh Li had experienced Bai Zhi’s resurrection, she never imagined…

“Because I have already lived a lifetime. In my last life, I was constantly exploited by Bai Yu and Bai Ye, eventually they maimed me and I was directly involved in a car accident. My grandfather, in an effort to save me, defied fate along with the Ancestor, but I didn’t come back immediately. I went to another world with my grandfather and lived a short life.

After my grandfather passed away, I relied on Xu Yan; we were siblings alone in the world, he was my family. Later, I died… and came back here, to start everything all over again…”

Bai Zhi trusted Moh Li completely, they were unique to each other.

They could tell each other anything, be honest without any pretense.

Because they were teammates, they were beings in whom they could completely confide.

In reality, Bai Zhi carried many secrets she could not tell anyone else, even Bai Xin; sometimes not knowing was the key to happiness.

That too was a form of protection, and the same went for Bai Fei and Bai Guang.

The more burdens one carries, the greater the pressure felt in one’s heart. If never released, they become pains locked inside…

Xu Yan’s matters, Ye Xiu’s matters, there were so many things making Bai Zhi very tired.

But the grandfather was not there, and she didn’t know whom to tell.

No one knew the bitterness in her heart.

Her grandfather said that the Bai Family exists to protect and must tell nobody, and the more she knew, the more she suffered.

All while pretending to know nothing.

Moh Li hugged her tightly, thinking that his life was already hard enough, yet she had lived through three lifetimes.

“Are you tired? Do you want to sleep for a while? Shall I fan you?”

Moh Li coaxed her softly, as if pacifying a child.

“I want to acknowledge him. But it can’t be known that Bai Zhi doesn’t have such a brother.

And Moh Li, it seems I can’t trust anyone else anymore.”
