Chapter 482 (2/2)
Tang Doudou recalled when she taught Bai Feiyun to listen to the sounds inside the shell when they were picking shells before and smiled. There hadn't been any more Jianghu struggles and unresolved grudges these past months. Although she spent most of the time on a bed, it had to be said that this had been the most relaxed period she had ever experienced. She had thought several times that it'd be great if things could continue to be like this.
However, she understood that she still had to return to that chaotic Jianghu. Just the matter of whether Jun Xin would be able to recover from the soul-devouring bug was enough to keep her worried.
As she was thinking these things, she had already reached the beach. She looked over and saw that Bai Feiyun was standing there carrying Baili Jiangfeng as she had expected. But to her surprise, there was someone else on the beach, someone she knew.
After she saw this person, she stopped walking over and hid herself in the underbrush nearby to eavesdrop.
That person was a little angry, seemingly because all his attempts at persuading failed. ”Do you think you can stay here your entire life with her just by hiding her here? No matter what, she'll go back. You should understand this, so stop making these mistakes.”
Bai Feiyun replied mildly, ”I'm not making a mistake. I will send her back, but just not now.”
”You! What am I supposed to say? How long will your body even be able to hold up? You still want to drag things on? Are you really not afraid of death?”
That person pointed at Bai Feiyun in anger and helplessness. Finally, he sighed. ”Let me have a look at the child.”
”No.”
”I just want to see what Baili's brat looks like! You're too stingy! Are you really treating him as your son? Even if you want to do that, you'd have to have that fate first!”
Bai Feiyun froze for a moment, then moved little Jiangfeng over to let that person have a look. However, he barely gave him a second before pulling little Jiangfeng back again. That person was speechless. ”I hadn't even frickin' seen anything!”
”When he was born, he looked quite like Baili Yu, but now he looks more like her. You can imagine for yourself!” Bai Feiyun patted little Jiangfeng gently as he said this.
These words made that person so angry that he laughed. ”Fine! I won't say any more. You should just think of the time yourself! Baili Yu doesn't have long to live. If you're not afraid that the girl will hate you after finding out, you can continue holing up in this island!”
After saying that, he angrily turned to leave.
Bai Feiyun hesitated, but then called out, ”City Lord.”
Su Yi stopped without speaking.
Bai Feiyun glanced at little Jiangfeng, then looked towards him. ”Help me bring a message to Baili Yu. Back then, I had helped him so as the condition, before I die, she and the child must keep me company.
”So he should pray that he could live a little longer, or pray that I would die faster.”
”Psyho!” cursed Su Yi.
Bai Feiyun didn't say anything else and walked away with little Jiangfeng .
Tang Doudou was still stunned from what she heard of this exchange. By the time she snapped out of her thoughts, Bai Feiyun had already discovered her. Since there was nowhere to hide, she had no choice but to awkwardly get up and meet his gaze. She glanced towards the beach and found that Su Yi was already gone.
”I, I was looking for you.” Tang Doudou didn't know what to say, but if no one spoke the atmosphere felt stifling.
Bai Feiyun nodded. ”Yes, let's head back.”
After he said that, he walked back to the cave with little Jiangfeng. Tang Doudou didn't follow after him and stayed on the beach for a long time. She thought about what he had said to Su Yi earlier as she stared at the vast ocean. What exactly had happened after she fell down the cliff?
”You're back?” When she returned, Bai Feiyun was waiting for her at the entrance of the cave.
”Yeah.” Tang Doudou extended her hand and showed him the fistful of cute baby shells. ”I wanted to make a necklace for Jiangfeng, so I collected some shells.”
”It's windy by the sea and you still haven't recovered from your puerperium, so you shouldn't go to the beach for the time being.” Bai Feiyun looked at the shells in her hand, then he picked them up and placed them in his own palm. ”Jiangfeng has fallen asleep. I'll help you string these shells.”
Tang Doudou glanced inside the cave and saw that little Jiangfeng was sound asleep, so she gave him the shells. ”Then I'll have to trouble you.”
Bai Feiyun smiled softly, then went to start stringing the necklace. Near where he was, there were the toys he had made for little Jiangfeng. There were little pinwheels, rattle drums… He had made them all by hand.
He truly treated little Jiangfeng like his own child.
It was precisely due to this that she didn't know how to say it.
Bai Feiyun also didn't mention what happened and the days continue to pass like this.
It wasn't a solution to continue staying in the cave, so Bai Feiyun built another small house near the beach and they moved into it.
Little Jiangfeng 's health become better and better under Bai Feiyun's careful care. Of course, Tang Doudou's health also improved.
However, ever since that day, thoughts weighed on Tang Doudou's mind again, so she often spaced out while sitting on the beach.
Her head was filled with the thought that Baili Yu was about to die. It had been a long time. There was no way that she didn't miss Baili Yu. Whenever she recalled him, she would use the words Nangong Yan said to numb her own feelings. However, after finding out about this matter, she couldn't lie to herself anymore.
She really wanted to go back and see Baili Yu with their child!
