I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 692: Chapter 701: Everything is Fake, Only You Are Real

“It’s not without flaws,” Xu Yan said, “each sentence, actually. If Bai Zhi thinks carefully, she will notice that some parts just don’t make sense.”

But Bai Zhi didn’t want to think about it, because she herself hadn’t told the truth.

As long as they were sure of one thing, they would never hurt each other.

Bai Zhi couldn’t imagine what he had gone through, arriving here with no identity, no money, nothing at all. As an undocumented person, she even dared not ask.

“In this world, sister, everything seems fake to me, only you are real.

Only when I found you did I feel like I could tell myself that we exist.”

Xu Yan reached out and ruffled Bai Zhi’s hair.

Finally, by noon, he found Bai Zhi.

“Brother, I… I don’t even know what’s happening, why I’m so unlucky, stuck with such a scumbag dad and mom.

They not only stuck needles into my body but even wished I were dead.

They handed me over to bad people, watching them torture me. All around me are demons and devils, I no longer know who to trust or not to trust.

Everyone keeps asking me what secrets I have, what they can gain from me.

But I have nothing…”

As Bai Zhi said this, tears fell.

She was tired indeed; everyone was coveting everything of the Bai Family.

Thinking the Bai Family had secrets, thinking she had secrets, all around her were demons and devils, except for grandpa and Aunt Wu Wa. It seemed like everyone else could turn.

She didn’t know who she should trust, nor could she easily trust anyone. Because it might lead to an irredeemable disaster.

She could face trouble, she wasn’t afraid of death.

Grandpa had said that he was born here, grew up here, and would inevitably be buried in the soil of Bai Family Village.

He loved Bai Family Village, loved this country, and was willing to give his all for it.

Bai Zhi loved it, too.

Because she had seen the greatness of Nan Country, seen those lovely people give selflessly. That’s why she loved this country even more.

Who isn’t their parents’ little treasure, yet they still proceeded without second thoughts.

Because of such a great country, they could live carefree.

So Bai Zhi too wanted to protect it, even if their protection remained unnoticed.

Grandpa said, as long as I know what I’m doing, that’s enough.

We know that this place will get better and better, so all our current hardships and forbearance are worthwhile.

Of course it’s worthwhile, both Bai Zhi and her grandpa knew. Their protection was absolutely worthwhile.

Grandpa once told Bai Zhi, about the times when they needed to protect their homeland, what endless darkness those people had experienced.

Those heroes who had to disguise themselves, those who charged to the frontline.

They sacrificed consecutively just to achieve peace for them.

Now, she’s only experiencing some slight darkness, what’s there to fear.

It’s just…

Still, it feels unfair.

It’s okay, she only felt aggrieved for a moment, just this moment would suffice.

Facing Xu Yan, all her strength immediately collapsed.

She knew that the brother in front of her had already been separated from her by a whole ten years.

Perhaps they could no longer be close, even though they both felt pity for each other at this moment.

But they couldn’t truly understand each other’s feelings.

They were different now, yet one thing remained unchanged—they were still siblings.

“Sister, you’ve gone through a lot. But don’t worry, from now on, your brother will pamper you. If anyone bullies you, I’ll take them down in a minute, okay?”

Xu Yan’s eyes, red and tender, carried a smile that Bai Zhi had once been very familiar with.

It should have been just a joke, but for some reason, at that moment, she actually felt the murderous aura emanating from him.

“No need, if someone bullies me, I’ll hit them back first. I’m strong, you know.”

Bai Zhi could only smile and stretched out her fist as she spoke.

“Alright, alright. Come here to eat more often. Drunken Moon Restaurant belongs to both of us, understand?

Also, if someone hurts you, should I hire a few bodyguards for you?”

Xu Yan, quite serious, proposed this idea.

The two found a place to sit down. Bai Zhi quickly shook her head. “No need, I shouldn’t be targeted anymore, because those bad people were caught back then. I just want to study hard and try to get into a good university. What about you, brother? What do you want to do?”

Bai Zhi tilted her head, looking at Xu Yan. “How have you been these years?”

Xu Yan leaned back in his seat, looking up at the starry sky, reminiscent of the year they first met.

He always faced everything with the most relaxed attitude.

“Not bad. I’m quite lucky—right from the start, I was like a chosen one, saved an important person. Then he helped me with my identity, and I went back to school. After finishing my studies, I started playing with stocks. I always loved to research, and then I made some money.

Meanwhile, I met Han Feng, and we opened Drunken Moon Restaurant together. He also had a sister he kept in his heart, and it turned out to be you.

So, I guess we were meant to be?”

Xu Yan spoke casually, as if the prior hysteria was but a dream.

But to Bai Zhi, how could it be so easy?

Xu Yan turned back and pinched Bai Zhi’s cheek, “Don’t frown. Perhaps we can’t go back to the past, but sister, we have to bravely move forward.

Didn’t you say you wanted to try for the university in Imperial City? Then go for it, I’ll be with you.

And now that I’ve found you, I want to pursue my old dreams.

Drunken Moon Restaurant is yours, and I’ll be at ease.”

Xu Yan looked at Bai Zhi, feeling somewhat fortunate to have finally found his sister.

He had always been afraid he’d never find her in his lifetime.

“Wait, how did you save Bai Fei then? She calls you ’senior’…”

Wasn’t it said he had long since finished his studies…

How did he become Bai Fei’s senior then?

“Cough, cough, cough…” Xu Yan proudly touched his hair. “Sorry, I just look young because I’m handsome. They thought I was a student.

So, I just went with the flow…”

Bai Zhi’s lips twitched as she bluntly burst his bubble, “Why don’t you admit you just want to feel young? Going with the flow? You clearly did it on purpose.”

“Beanbaggy, asking for a beating, huh?”

Xu Yan’s face darkened; that was such a spoil-sport move.

“Don’t call me Beanbag, I have a name, you know?” Bai Zhi was utterly frustrated. Just because she was bad at studying back then and had to be a ’beanbag’ for a month, was there a need to keep calling her that?

“Hmm, and you’re still scolding me, huh?”

Xu Yan looked at Bai Zhi proudly. In that moment, they seemed to return to their carefree days of striving together.

Tonight’s moonlight was also beautiful. “Brother, did you study archaeology?”

She remembered that before becoming a bartender, he had mentioned that his dream was to study archaeology, yet he was academically poor.

“Yeah, my professor was in archaeology, we were supposed to go together. But I couldn’t just leave without finding you, I wasn’t content…”
