"Don't you want to tell me" Mo Yue asked calmly. Mo Xiaobai shook his head; when he was awake, he remained so quiet, a stark contrast to the chatty and lively little white.
Mo Yue didn’t force him, saying, "If you don’t want to talk, that’s fine too, as long as everything is alright."
Xiaobai was thinking about it; if such an incident happened again in the future, and he accidentally hurt Mo Yue or even killed him, what would he do In his current state, he couldn't control himself at all. Mo Yue wouldn’t want to harm him for sure, but that only left one possible outcome: Xiaobai killing Mo Yue.
Xiaobai couldn’t accept such an ending.
He had gone through so much hardship just to survive; he didn't live on in order to end it all by his own hand when dealing with the very last person—Mo Yue.
"I'm hungry," Mo Xiaobai said. Mo Yue smiled and pulled him up, saying, "Let's go then, I’m sure they are waiting for us."
Mo Yue drove the car to take Xiaobai there. Seeing that Xiaobai remained silent, Mo Yue was a bit worried about how he would explain why Xiaobai had changed like this; however, everyone only seemed stunned when they saw him, then exchanged glances before each going back to their respective tasks.
That’s what family did, understanding the situation without needing an explanation.
Hence, Mo Yue felt very at ease and naturally took Xiaobai's hand, fully comfortable with it as this was allowed. Mo Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Yue but didn't refuse him.
The grill was set up; Rongyan was in charge of the suckling pig while others had different tasks to do. Su Man sat on the beach like a hands-off boss, deep in thought from time to time, glancing at Xiaobai occasionally.
Ye Wei raised her eyes and looked at Mo Xiaobai, asking, "Xiaobai, what would you like to eat"
Moxiaobai pointed towards the suckling pig where Rongyan was busy. Rongyan smiled and said, “I’ll slice it for you first."
Chu Chu also ran over to ask Mo Xiaobai, "Brother Xiaobai, what would you like I can cook it for you."
"I don’t believe in your cooking skills," Mo Xiaobai said coolly. Not quite used to a serious and less smiling Brother Xiaobai, Chu Chu pouted her lips, saying, "Brother Xiaobai thinks my cooking is terrible, Mom..."
Rong Yan shrugged and smiled, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Bai Ye used the roasted lamb from the grill, Mo Yao let Xiao Bai go and started preparing food. Xiao Bai chose a relatively quiet spot to sit down, and Su Man sat next to him.
"Feeling unwell"
Murphy Xiao Bai shook his head; it was already over. Su Man asked again, "What did you eat wrong today"
"Ice beer."
"How much did you drink"
"Just a sip!"
"Be careful, don't drink anymore," said Su Man. Xiao Bai nodded. The beautiful lady named Su Man had always been this way—like clouds by nature, calm and detached as if she were not of this world. She never spoke unless it concerned her directly. She was rarely talkative, hardly ever initiating conversations with others except for Bai Ye. So, it was rare that Su Man initiated a conversation with Murphy Xiao Bai. Normally, Xiao Bai would have eagerly pounced on such an opportunity, but today he remained silent.
Mo Yao grilled corn and chicken wings for Murphy Xiao Bai. Once they were done, he offered them to Su Man first, who pointed at Bai Ye without speaking. Mo Yao then handed the chicken wings to Xiao Bai, who took them without hesitation and started munching on them. His appetite could not be satisfied with just a few chicken wings and one roasted corn; Mo Yao went back to grill some beef for Murphy Xiao Bai. Within minutes, Xiao Bai had finished off the chicken wings and corn he was given.
Bai Ye also brought over several skewers of grilled meat for Su Man and asked Xiao Bai if he wanted any. Xiao Bai shook his head; Bai Ye raised an eyebrow, then sat down next to Su Man, opened a bottle of beer, and drank it nonchalantly as if nothing had happened. Eating roasted meat while drinking beer was quite enjoyable.
Xiao Bai pursed his lips, frowned slightly, and took quick breaths. It seemed the alcohol's effect on him was significant; he too wanted to drink. Su Man and Bai Ye were well aware of this but still drank in front of him and even tried to keep a conversation going with Xiao Bai.
"Where did you go" asked Bai Ye.
"To the spa," Murphy Xiao Bai said without any shame, knowing what he had done during his detox period. His physical condition was well understood by Bai Ye more than anyone else.
Bai Ye indeed knew quite a lot and thus wasn't surprised at all, "Seriously, what did you do at the spa It's such a waste of money."
Murphy Xiao Bai shrugged; he agreed with a nod. "I'll try it next time."
"You're so good," Bai Ye laughed heartily, his joyful laughter catching Mo Yao's attention. When Mo Yao looked over, he met Xiao Bai's gaze and smiled slightly. The sadness on Xiao Bai’s face seemed to lessen.
The long, lingering gaze made Xiaobai feel warm and at ease. Moyao hoped that time could slow down a little.
As if he had received affirmation, he wished that such moments could last longer.
Moyao grilled some vegetarian dishes for him again, but Xiaobai said, "I want to eat meat."
"Save your appetite for the roasted suckling pig and lamb," Moyao replied. "You can have a little now to tide you over."
He ate the grilled beef himself, but Xiaobai said, "If I eat a bit more now, I'll still be able to enjoy the roasted suckling pig later."
"Wait until I finish eating and then I’ll get it for you," Moyao said. Chu Chu had already brought over a large platter of grilled meat, which Wu Shuang and Kaka had prepared for them. Xiaobai started eating straight away while Moyao fetched him a bottle of juice.
Eating grilled meat with juice was not the best combination, but this was what Xiaobai could eat right now. Moyao found it rather frustrating himself.
Su Man and Baiye walked off to a distant spot where they sat down to have a quiet chat of their own. Finally, Mo Xiaobai and Moyao got some peace and quiet for themselves. Xiaobai ate heartily while Moyao said, "Eat slower. You just came out and only had a little bit. How could you be so hungry"
"I used up the energy I had."
Shiyi smiled gently; after waiting for so many years, Moyao’s wish had finally come true, even if the situation was somewhat special and not entirely perfect. Xiaobai fluctuated between being well and unwell, but this state suited Moyao just fine.
Xiaobai ignored them both, rarely speaking unless someone approached him to talk. Most of the time, he sat quietly off by himself, except when Chu Chu was around. Since everyone else there came in pairs, they were quite content to have fun on the beach without anyone treating Xiaobai like a patient.
Xiaobai felt relaxed.
Finally, the roasted suckling pig was done, and Xiaobai had been craving it all along. The moment it was ready, Moyao went over to take a large slice that Rongyan had cut for them, the aroma stimulating Xiaobai’s appetite.
Su Man didn’t eat pork; Baiye kept saying how much he missed out on something good. Rongyan’s cooking skills were top-notch, and with her own special seasoning, Ye Wei would dare say that this was the tastiest suckling pig in the world.
Xiaobai ate until he still wanted more. Moyao gave him half of what he had left, and Xiaobai asked, "You’re not eating
"I'm interested in the roasted lamb," said Mo Yue. Mo Xiaobai didn't hesitate to take over the remaining half and started gnawing on it. Mo Yue smiled faintly, "The roasted lamb won’t be done for a while. Do you want to go for a walk on the beach"
Little White took off his shoes. Mo Yue said, "There are broken glass pieces on the sand. Don't take your shoes off to avoid getting hurt."
Little White decisively removed his shoes anyway. Su Man said, "This is a private beach and it’s very clean."
Mo Ye asked, "Does this count as them being together"
Xiyi counter-asked, "Then what does count as them being together They can’t get married anyway. What else doesn't count"
Mo Ye said, "Xiaobai still has an fiancée in Rome who was pestering Ye Wei yesterday to return to Rome for their wedding and introduce her to us. Today my son turns into his bride. How can this not be scary"
Xiyi said, "Bride"
Xiyi’s lip twitched; did Mo Yue look like a bride Mo Ye said, "Look at how Mo Yue is serving Little White just like the third grandson would serve him. How can this not be called a wife It should be the opposite."
Mo Ye was very curious about something and asked Xiyi, "Wife, did you and Ye Wei eavesdrop behind the wall to hear who wanted a wife"
Xiyi’s pretty face turned red as she puzzledly asked, “You knew”
"Of course!"
“Then why didn’t you come listen too.”
Moe Ye was embarrassed and said, "Why should I eavesdrop on my son with you Am I as perverted as Ye Wei"
"No one is allowed to say anything about Weiwei!"
Mo Ye raised his hand. "Alright, alright, why do my wife and son and brother serve her like the third grandson serves him This world is so unfair." of yours," Du Di replied with a smile. "Actually, I wanted Chengtian to come over long ago, but recent trivial matters have been overwhelming, and there's also Yingying… I thought I'd wait until afte...
