Chapter 55 Li Mengyao

The group chatted for a while, and Xiao Feiwu’s phone rang.

He picked it up and glanced at it.

“Huzi said they found some surveillance footage at the village entrance, but so far, they’ve only confirmed the area where Bai… uh… Bai Xian was injured. They don’t know exactly how he was hurt! They’ve roughly determined that it should have happened on the road from entering the mountain to entering the village.”

Jin Mo clenched his fist, “Continue to investigate. If there’s no surveillance, look for eyewitnesses. I don’t believe we can’t find any!”

“Alright!”

Jin Mo looked at the time. It was only 10:30. It would be at least another hour before his brother Bai Xian came. He felt restless!

“I wonder when Bai Xian will be here?” He couldn’t help but mutter.

“Are you waiting for the person or waiting for his food?” Xu Jiahao, who was scrolling through videos, teased.

Jin Mo snorted, “What do you think?”

“The person!”

“The food!”

Xu Jiahao and Xiao Feiwu said different answers in unison!

Xu Jiahao glanced at Xiao Feiwu, “Are you so obsessed with Bai Xian’s food?”

Xiao Feiwu nodded with a look of recollection.

“Yes, Baiyan’s cooking is really delicious! Once you’ve tried it, I guarantee you’ll never forget it!”

“Really? I don’t believe it!” Xu Jiahao looked skeptical.

Xiao Feiwu began to elaborate on how delicious Jin Baiyan’s cooking was.

He spoke with gusto, making Xu Jiahao eager to try it!

Jin Mo lay in bed, watching the two of them argue back and forth. Before long, he couldn’t hear their conversation.

He woke up again to the sound of a girl’s laughter.

“Brother Jin, you’re awake?” A girl’s clear voice came.

Jin Mo opened his eyes, feeling a little dazed. He stared at the two figures in front of him for a while before he remembered that these were Uncle Li’s daughter, Li Mengyao, and her classmate.

“Hi!” He greeted the two of them, then turned to Xu Jiahao, “Help me raise the bed.”

“I’ll do it!” Li Mengyao took the lead, cranking the bed up while asking Jin Mo, “Is this okay?”

Jin Mo frowned slightly, “Okay, that’s enough, thank you!”

“You’re welcome!” The little girl was quite cute with a round face and a ponytail that swayed from time to time.

“Why are you here?” Jin Mo asked.

“Oh, Xiao Feiwu went to my house this morning to borrow a flatbed cart. I heard it. I’m out delivering takeout right now, so I came to see you. Oh, right, I asked my dad to make you some spare rib soup!”

As Li Mengyao spoke, she handed over the thermos she was holding.

Xu Jiahao took the thermos.

“How could I?” Jin Mo said as he took out his phone and sent Uncle Li a red envelope.

Li Mengyao wanted to stop him.

“Don’t, it’s just a favor!”

Jin Mo smiled, “I appreciate the thought. Help me thank Uncle Li!”

“Brother Jin!” Li Mengyao took a step forward, “Little Lian said you’re going to live here for a year?”

Jin Mo nodded, “Yeah, maybe two years, three years, why?”

Li Mengyao shook her head upon hearing that, and said with a smile, “It’s nothing, just asking!”

Her classmate next to her had been silent all this while. At this moment, she tugged on Li Mengyao’s clothes.

Li Mengyao turned her head and said, “I know!” Then she looked at Jin Mo, “Brother Jin, I’ll go back now. I’ll come see you when I have time!”

Jin Mo was stunned and waved his hands repeatedly.

As they spoke, Bai Xian walked in carrying a lunch box.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly cooled down.

Only Jin Mo’s emotions rose instead of falling!

“Bai Xian! You’re here!” His tone was full of excitement and eagerness.

The corners of Bai Xian’s mouth curved up.

“Mm!”

Bai Xian walked to the bedside with the lunch box. He was stunned when he saw a thermos on the cabinet.

Xu Jiahao was quick-witted and immediately took the thermos away to make room for Bai Xian’s lunch box.

Li Mengyao’s expression froze slightly. She pointed at Bai Xian and asked, “Who is this?”

Jin Mo didn’t hear her. Bai Xian raised his head and glanced at her.

Li Mengyao had never encountered such a cold look in her twenty years. She was a little stunned.

Xu Jiahao whispered to her, “This is the owner of Slow Residence, his name is Bai Xian!”

Li Mengyao exclaimed.

“The owner of Slow Residence? How come I’ve never seen him?”

Jin Mo frowned and turned to look at Li Mengyao. There wasn’t much warmth in his eyes either.

Li Mengyao closed her mouth awkwardly, then pulled her classmate and said, “Then we’ll leave!”

Xu Jiahao sent the two of them out of the ward.

“Bai Xian!” Jin Mo looked at the person in front of him with a beaming smile, “What dishes did you make for me?”

Bai Xian’s gaze swept over the thermos on the ground, but he didn’t speak.

“Which one do you want to eat?” After a long while, Bai Xian asked.

Jin Mo was stunned, feeling confused. Then he followed Bai Xian’s gaze and saw the thermos on the ground. Only then did he understand what Bai Xian was asking.

“Of course, it’s the food you made!” After saying that, he pointed to the thermos on the ground, “How could I eat a stranger’s food?”

The corners of Bai Xian’s mouth moved, and there was a hint of fluctuation in the corner of his eyes.

He took the lunch box out of the bag, opened it layer by layer, and placed it on the table in front of Jin Mo.

A plate of boiled shrimp, a plate of bamboo shoots with pork, two lion’s head meatballs, and a tomato egg drop soup.

All Jin Mo’s favorite dishes!

Looking at the food in front of him, Jin Mo had a kind of illusion that Bai Xian had his brother’s memories!

Otherwise, how could he know so accurately what he liked to eat?

“Bai Xian, eat together!” Jin Mo shifted his body, sat up straight, and pointed to the chair next to him.

Bai Xian hadn’t eaten either. He was afraid that Jin Mo would get impatient, so he brought the food over as soon as he finished cooking.

When Xiao Feiwu and Xu Jiahao came in with takeout, the two of them had just started eating.

Xiao Feiwu walked to the bedside, looked at Jin Mo’s food, and swallowed hard!

Xu Jiahao pulled him away.

“Can’t you have a little dignity!”

Jin Mo ate this meal with great satisfaction, Xiao Feiwu watched with longing eyes, Xu Jiahao almost had a heart attack, and Bai Xian ate calmly.

Most of the loving spare rib soup that Li Mengyao brought ended up in Xiao Feiwu’s stomach, and a small part in Xu Jiahao’s stomach!

The little girl’s good intentions were wasted!

In the afternoon, Xiao Feiwu and Xu Jiahao went back.

With Bai Xian here, the two of them would just be a nuisance!

Bai Xian sat in a chair reading a book, and Jin Mo lay in bed watching Bai Xian. Unsurprisingly, he fell asleep in less than ten minutes!

He woke up more than an hour later!

Woken up by the urge to pee!

“Bai Xian, I need to go to the bathroom!” Jin Mo didn’t feel embarrassed at all and just blurted it out.

Bai Xian put down the book in his hand, walked to the bedside, and lifted the blanket.

Jin Mo was about to move off the bed when Bai Xian suddenly picked him up.

This time, Jin Mo directly wrapped his arms around Bai Xian’s neck.

He could feel Bai Xian stiffen for a moment, wanting to avoid his arms.

After entering the bathroom, Bai Xian put Jin Mo on the ground and helped him stand.

After coming out of the bathroom, both of their faces were slightly flushed.

Jin Mo took off Bai Xian’s mask.

The wound was medicated and had begun to scab!

Bai Xian lowered his eyes, and the two of them met eyes.

“There’s no one in the ward now, can you take it off and get some fresh air, okay?”

Bai Xian put Jin Mo on the bed, helped him pull up the blanket, and sat down on the chair next to him.

Although he didn’t answer, he reached out and took off the mask and placed it on the cabinet.

Jin Mo pursed his lips and looked at Bai Xian with a smile!

The more time he spent with him, the more he realized that many of Bai Xian’s behaviors were exactly like his brother’s.
