Chapter 36: As Long As Its You Its Correct (1/2)
Jun Xin didn’t stick around for long before he got bored and ran off.
When Bai Feiyun returned, he didn’t see Jun Xin and actually felt rather uncomfortable, like Jun Xin was hiding somewhere eavesdropping.
“Don’t worry, this time he really left. That guy doesn’t have the patience to squander time eavesdropping.”
“Alliance Head actually knows him quite well.” Hearing Tang Doudou say this, Bai Feiyun lightly smiled and really did stop being on guard. He walked to the bed and placed the medicine box down, “Extend your hand. After I finish treating you I still have to go back to give the Murong family a reply.”
Tang Doudou said ‘en’ in reply, then asked: “What do you plan to do about this incident?”
“Dealing with this incident isn’t hard, what’s hard is probably which method we should choose to use.” Bai Feiyun used medicine to wipe around the blanched flesh and said gently, “It’ll hurt a bit, hold on.”
His voice was gentle as water, sweeping through her heart and making her feel soothed. His hand movements were even more incomparably gentle. He said it would hurt, but in reality his movements were well practised and swift; Tang Doudou didn’t even have the chance to feel anything before she saw that he had already finished treating it.
“Xiao Bai, who exactly is it that’s directing the Murong family? Do they have a grudge against me, or is it that they’re unhappy with Cloud City?” She was half sitting up on the bed with her hand placed on the side of the bed. Bai Feiyun was half crouched next to the bed treating the injury while talking to her.
“We still haven’t figured out who exactly is directing it behind the scenes but there’s not much connection with Elder Yu. He only called the Murong family over for the sake of wanting to cause you trouble during the martial arts convention.”
His side profile was exceptionally focused and there was a faint caution between his brows. His long eyelashes cast a wide shadow on his fair face and slightly trembled with his movements.
Ay, when this handsome gets serious his attractiveness level is practically about to charm Beanbeans to death!
“This matter I’ll try to end as soon as possible.” Bai Feiyun gave his word resolutely.
Tang Doudou became curious: why does he treat her this well?
Or perhaps it should be put this way: why does he treat Li Xueyi this well? He’s a member of White Wind Manor. From the information she gathered at the martial arts convention, he should be a very neutral type, yet after she appeared he kept helping her one time after another and never showed any suspicion towards her.
If he was very familiar with Li Xueyi and they had a really good relationship, now that it’s a different person could it be possible for him not to sense it?
Or is it that there’s some business deal that she wasn’t aware of in this? That’s why Bai Feiyun had no choice but to help her like this?
As she pondered and watched him, the question came out, “Xiao Bai, why do you treat me so well?”
Hearing this, Bai Feiyun’s movements froze. Lifting his eyes, he asked: “Why are you suddenly asking this?”
The other hand tucked back a few strands of fine hair that had fallen over his face. Tang Doudou’s watery pupils were a bit dazed, “I’m just curious.”
The two were silent for a little while before Bai Feiyun lowered his pupils, “It’s that you don’t trust me, right?”
Tang Doudou didn’t know how she should express the opinion in her heart. Should she say she doesn’t trust him? But she does trust… well at least she trusts him much more than she does Jun Xin. But to really say that she trusts him, in actuality she didn’t know how she could trust him.
“In truth, you need not worry. Just believe that I won’t harm you. That’s enough.” Bai Feiyun slightly smiled as he continued to help bind her wound.
“You’ve lost your memories. I’ll help you slowly recover your memories again until you remember everything. If the memories seriously can not be recovered, I’ll still help you sit stably on the Alliance Head seat and let you live the latter half of your life without worries.”
“You’re lost your martial arts, lost everything, so I’ll be your left shoulder, your right arm.”
“If you still don’t believe, I can only give one sentence as an explanation.”
He suddenly lifted his head, his ink jade-like pupils filled with never seen before earnestness, “Because it was a promise.”
Because it was a promise.
Five simple and direct words, yet Tang Doudou felt sorrow bubbling up from the bottom of her heart. This sentence seemed to overcome a thousand, ten thousand years, reaching her soul which belonged in the era ten million years into the future and giving this faint message.
“But I don’t remember anything anymore.” Tang Doudou lowered her eyes, exceptionally perplexed.
Exactly what promise did Bai Feiyun and Li Xueyi have? And what kind of friendship was it exactly that would make Bai Feiyun uphold his promise so unwaveringly like this?
The one he made the promise to was Li Xueyi, not her, Tang Doudou.
It was to the Li Xueyi that would never recover his memories.
This guess of Tang Doudou’s was not far off from the truth, in the past Bai Feiyun and Li Xueyi really did make an arrangement. As for the content that was agreed on, other than Bai Feiyun himself, there was no other person in the world that knew, because the real Li Xueyi has already died.
And at that time, Bai Feiyun already promised to Li Xueyi that unless Li Xueyi took the initiative to bring it up, he would not say the contents of this arrangement out loud even if he were to die.
So this matter, as long as there were no unexpected events, would never be revealed.
“No matter, as long as it’s you it’s correct.” Bai Feiyun tied the white gauze and finished binding the wound.
Getting up, he took out a bunch of bottles and vials from his medicine box and arranged it in order next to the bed. Picking out one of the bottles and holding it in his palm, he gave a deep sigh before saying: “I believe that Baili Yu has already told you that other than Tendons Softening Powder there’s another poison in your body. When I helped you take your pulse earlier I had discovered that the poison had already flared up several times. Unfortunately, my medical expertise is limited and could not figure out why that poison still hasn’t flared up again after those first couple times.”
If it weren’t for that bunch of genuine and sincere words that he said earlier, Tang Doudou would’ve thought he was hoping for that poison to flare up.
“This poison is called Disseminating Tassel Fragrance, Baili Yu has already told me about it.” And it’s definitely not that it didn’t flare up but that after it flared up the real Li Xueyi had already breathed his last. It’s was because of that that she, this pitiful Beanbeans, would transmigrate into Li Xueyi’s body. Don’t even know if it’s fortunate or unfortunate.
These things she naturally couldn’t say to Bai Feiyun. After her injury was treated, she felt a little tired. As she listened to Bai Feiyun’s voice that was genial as the spring wind, she became even drowsier.
“Once the matters on this side is dealt with, I’ll take a trip to Azure Water Valley and ask Elder Senior Cang what exactly this is. During this time, no matter what happens you must not have a falling out with Baili Yu. Compared to Elder Yu, he’s much much harder to deal with. Those little smarts of yours will be useless. That person is unfathomably deep, even the City Lord doesn’t have inside information about him. For him to suddenly meddle in the martial arts convention definitely is not just out of some whim. You must carefully bear this in mind. Moreover, the only person in this world that can cure Disseminating Tassel Fragrance is him so it’s best if you don’t become enemies with him… I’ve marked all of these pills with their usage and names. They’re all for common usage so you should remember to put them away well…”
Zzzzz…
Bai Feiyun was giving an enthusiastic briefing when the sound of gentle breathing entered his ears. Lifting his eyes, he saw that at some point Tang Doudou’s head had tilted to the side and she had fallen asleep. Her appearance as she slept was naive and tender, from time to time she would even smack her lips. Bai Feiyun gave a helpless smile and collected those vials and placed them next to the pillow before bending down to softly shift Tang Doudou so that she laid flat and tucked in her blanket.
“Have a nice nap.” Bai Feiyun gazed at this familiar face and suddenly recalled the first time they met.
The memory was like water, in a moment it receded again. Giving a light sigh, Bai Feiyun picked up the medicine box and left.
Next to the window, Jun Xin hung upside down from the ceiling and watched Bai Feiyun’s leaving figure in a daze all the way until it was completely gone from sight. Then he softly dropped down and turned to approach Tang Doudou’s bed. His gaze turned towards that pile of bottles and vials beside the bed.
