I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 714: Chapter 722: Moh Li Turns into a Jealous Wretch

Bai Zhi uncovered a very, very serious problem because of the incident with Xu Yan, that is, she seemed unable to trust anyone anymore.

For her, the importance of Xu Yan was self-evident—he was her brother, the person she once trusted the most. But now, she just couldn’t fully trust him anymore.

Even if she said that Xu Yan was very important to her, even if she emphasized it over and over again, deep down she knew, she simply couldn’t trust anyone completely anymore.

Even if she wore a smile on her lips, even if she told everyone she believed, in reality, there was always a bit of uncertainty in her heart.

Ten years had gone by, was Xu Yan still the same person he used to be, or was there something about him she didn’t know?

Could it be that he harbored ill intentions toward the Bai Family?

She really couldn’t trust anyone anymore.

And there was Ye Xiu—Bai Zhi had never trusted her from the beginning.

Not to mention Bai Da, as for Bai Fei she was now starting to doubt their feelings for each other.

Bai Zhi felt truly terrible; how had she become like this?

“Why can’t I even have the most basic trust in someone?”

Before, she wasn’t like this; she used to believe the world was warm, to believe the world was beautiful.

But there was always a hesitation.

A bit of uncertainty, a fear to trust completely.

“Logically speaking, I should know everything about Xu Yan and speak freely with him.”

Bai Zhi’s eyes carried a hint of fear, “But I’m afraid of doubting, afraid to feel that he might have already become another person I can’t trust, that he might harbor ill intentions toward the Bai Family.

Moh Li, how did I become like this? Am I being too much?”

When Moh Li heard this, he was not at all surprised. Not just Bai Zhi, even he had such troubles.

“Do you know, in the place where we live, nobody can be trusted because you never know whether the other person is a foe or a friend. You have to be extremely cautious. In fact, you’re right, do you understand?

The situation is getting tenser by the day. Grandpa Bai hasn’t returned for a long time, which means everything is reaching a critical point. Bai Family Village may look calm on the surface, but there must be hidden undercurrents.

So your anxiety is justified. Only this way can we protect this place properly. Don’t you agree?

We just need to keep a three-part vigilance, and the rest we still need to believe that the world is still a beautiful place. Right?”

Actually, Moh Li never expected that one day he would be advising someone. He was supposed to be the anti-social one.

“Yeah, you’re right. I just feel that nowadays I trust people less and less. I’m starting to doubt myself.

But what you said is true; I don’t entirely distrust everyone. I’m willing to give them eight parts trust and just keep one part vigilance.”

Bai Zhi suddenly sat up straight, doing it so properly as if she had been called by the teacher and immediately behaved like a good student.

That obedient look didn’t seem like Bai Zhi at all.

“But… but I really want to trust my brother. I really, really…”

Moh Li suddenly grabbed her hand, “You’re right, ten years is a long time, with too much uncertainty. You said he’s been here for a while, how has he been living, whether he’s encountered anyone, maybe he’s completely changed.

Of course, you’re still friends. As long as you have a clear understanding in your heart, that’s enough.”

Moh Li really wanted to tell her straight that he was a bad guy, but seeing the wronged look in her eyes, he could only say this much.

He had thought that Han Feng was like a ticking time bomb, but now Xu Yan had appeared and seemed even more threatening.

This made Moh Li’s heart heavy. Why was he so unlucky?

Clearly, Moh Li’s words did not cheer up Bai Zhi. Instead, she looked at Moh Li with a wronged expression, with tears constantly swirling in her eyes, just like a little kitten that couldn’t get food. In any case, the tears wouldn’t fall; she just looked at him with that wronged face.

“My brother is so good; he cooks for me.”

Bai Zhi pouted unhappily as Moh Li spoke poorly of Xu Yan.

“He also buys me lots of snacks, takes me to eat grilled fish, jelly noodles, shaved ice, sushi.

He’s so good; he said he’d always protect me no matter what.

He’s so good…”

So good.

Sure, it’s fine now.

But she really shouldn’t be able to feel so wholeheartedly sorry for him anymore; she was truly being excessive.

Actually, if one day, you lose trust in others, then the whole world collapses because you approach the world with doubt and uncertainty.

Moh Li’s face darkened. What’s fine about it? What’s good?

“Fine, fine, fine, Xu Yan is good, Xu Yan is amazing, Xu Yan is the bee’s knees.”

There, that’s done the trick right? Out of Bai Zhi’s sight, Moh Li rolled his eyes. Just who is this Xu Yan anyway?

“You’re just humoring me.”

Bai Zhi pouted and reached out to tightly pinch Moh Li’s face.

Moh Li: “…”

“So then, how can I make you believe me?” Moh Li was truly feeling frustrated.

“You have to compliment my brother; you must list ten good things about him.”

Bai Zhi stretched out both hands in front of him, indicating he needed to come up with ten compliments.

Moh Li: “…” He had never met Xu Yan; how the hell would he know his good points?

“Xingxing, have you forgotten that I don’t know the guy? How can I compliment him? If I do, it’s just lying to you, right?”

Moh Li had a million curses in his heart directed at this Xu Yan, but he couldn’t say them because he didn’t know the man.

“Umm…” Bai Zhi tilted her head as if considering his point to be valid, “Okay then, I’ll tell you so you better remember them,” she said, tugging on Moh Li’s clothes and starting to list Xu Yan’s positives.

“First, my brother is handsome.

Second, my brother has a good temper,

Third, my brother is very gentle, like the warm sun in winter.

Fourth, he’s incredibly attentive and considerate.

Fifth, he can cook, and boys who can cook are the coolest.

Sixth, he can do household chores.

Seventh, he’s humorous and witty.

Eighth, he’s considerate of everyone’s feelings.

Ninth, he’s serious about his work.

Tenth, there’s nothing bad about him.”

Moh Li felt choked up, feeling completely off-kilter; how could this be…

Wasn’t this just spouting nonsense?

“Aren’t those things you mention the bare minimum?” Moh Li felt a bit helpless. How did those become special qualities? He was angry, extremely angry.

But he didn’t know where to direct his anger.

This infuriating girl kept shaking his hand persistently.

“Right? Am I right, or am I right?”

Moh Li: “…” Right my foot.

“Come on, say it, say it…” Bai Zhi continued to pull at Moh Li’s hand, determined to get him to admit some kind of justification.

“You’re right. Happy now?”

In the end, Moh Li could only concede to her…

“Heh, that’s more like it.”

Moh Li: “…” He had become as sour as a lemon.

…

In the end, they didn’t go down the mountain but rested there instead.
