Chapter 485: (END) (1/2)
”He was with me just earlier…” After Tang Doudou said that, she felt that things were off and hastily shoved the child into Baili Yu's arms. ”Something's definitely off with Xiao Bai. I'm going to go find him!”
”Do you know where to look?” asked Baili Yu.
However, Tang Doudou had already run outside. She shouted, ”He's definitely in Bai Courtyard!”
Baili Yu smiled, then looked back down to start teasing little Jiangfeng. ”Jiangfeng? It really is a good name…”
”How the hell is it good?” Su Yi jumped in through the window. ”Say, Baili Yu, how did you become so generous all of a sudden? When Mu Ye said that he wanted to wait until the girl came back, you didn't even say a word and immediately threw him out. How did your personality change entirely when it came to Bai Feiyun?”
Baili Yu gently patted little Jiangfeng and examined his features that were practically identical to his. He then looked up towards the direction Tang Doudou had disappeared in. ”It's not the same.”
Su Yi knew what he meant and shrugged without saying anything else. After all, it wasn't his business.
Tang Doudou ran out of Plum Garden and headed straight towards Bai Courtyard.
The magnolia trees in Bai Courtyard were growing beautifully. At this time, white blossoms of pure white flowers adorned the branches.
It had probably been a long time since anyone had come to this courtyard. There were countless flower petals and leaves from last autumn on the ground, making the footing slightly soft. The moment Tang Doudou entered the courtyard, she saw the trail of strikingly clear blood.
Following the trail, she found Bai Feiyun sitting in the courtyard under a tree.
He had fallen over and a few petals had settled on him.
”Xiao Bai,” called Tang Doudou as she walked over to help him up.
However, Bai Feiyun's eyes were tightly closed and his face was deathly pale. He wasn't breathing and he had no heartbeat. He had already passed away.
Tang Doudou's head was blank. She just felt very flustered. She didn't know what to do and just continued to call: Xiao Bai, Bai Feiyun…
After a long time, her voice had become hoarse from calling his name, but Bai Feiyun never woke up. Tang Doudou gradually came to terms with the fact that he had passed away. However, other than crying, other than regretting, there was nothing she could do.
In the end, Baili Yu rushed over with little Jiangfeng and sighed when he saw that Tang Doudou was about to pass out from crying. ”Doudou, a person that's passed away can't be brought back. Let's hurry and bury Bai gongzi so that he can rest in peace!”
”Why? Why would it be like this? He had clearly been fine, everything had been fine. Why would this suddenly happen? Should I not have come back? If I didn't come back, would he have lived?” Tang Doudou spoke incoherently as she turned to look at Baili Yu for answers.
Baili Yu walked through the falling petals to Tang Doudou. ”This isn't your fault. It's the road he chose, just as you've chosen to come back. Every person makes their own choices. No one is to blame, and no one can be blamed.”
”Then what about you?” Tang Doudou suddenly recalled something and abruptly turned around to shout at Baili Yu, ”You weren't willing to cure the Hoarfrost Poison! Was that also your choice?”
This question made Baili Yu freeze. He called, ”Doudou…”
”Don't call my name!” Tang Doudou looked up towards the sky. It was starting to drizzle. She muttered, ”What crappy choices. When you guys were making choices, did you guys think about other people? Did you guys ever think about what would happen to me once you guys were gone?
”All you guys care about is yourselves. You only think about what you want to do, you never think about what would happen to me! Why? Xiao Bai? Why did you have to be like this too!?”
”Doudou…” Baili Yu moved his lips, but he didn't know what to say. Everything Tang Doudou said was true, but they also had their own difficulties. If Bai Feiyun hadn't given up his life to cure Tang Doudou, then Tang Doudou would've died.
At that time, he hadn't known whether Tang Doudou was still alive or not, nor had he known that Bai Feiyun had cured her poison. The reason he didn't cure his own poison was also for Tang Doudou. He wanted to leave her a trace of hope.
However, plans were never able catch up to unexpected changes. Bai Feiyun had died, and he didn't have long left either.
He knew that Tang Doudou definitely also understood that they had done this for her, that she had only said these things because she was too hurt. Once she calmed down, she would come to understand everything.
However, unexpectedly, Tang Doudou didn't calm down quickly this time. On the island, after spending so much time with Bai Feiyun, although she didn't have any romantic feelings towards him, she gradually found him to be like family. After Bai Feiyun had helped her deliver little Jiangfeng , this feeling became even stronger. She couldn't accept the reality that right after she had reunited with Baili Yu, she lost Bai Feiyun.
In addition, since she was also sad about the fact that Baili Yu didn't have long either, she fell into a strange cycle of never wanting to wake up. Sometimes when she went to sleep, she wouldn't wake up for several days.
Baili Yu became anxious when he saw this and couldn't even be bothered to look after little Jiangfeng , so in the spur of the moment, he tossed him to Su Yi.
Su Yi grumbled complaints, then decided to take little Jiangfeng to Cloud City. He told them to sort out their own matters before going to look for his grandson and if they couldn't sort things out, then he'll just raise this grandson!
Baili Yu naturally wouldn't agree to this, but Su Yi just took advantage of a time when Baili Yu went to check on Tang Doudou to kidnap little Jiangfeng and leave.
