by VolareChapter 63: Bai Xian’s Soup
In the afternoon, Bai Xian saw that Jin Mo had fallen asleep, so he got up and left.
He had to go back and simmer the soup!
Simmer pork rib soup!
He was stimulated by Li Mengyao’s thermos.
Not long after Bai Xian left, Xiao Feiwu and Xu Jiahao returned.
Jin Mo heard the sound and slowly woke up.
His first reaction was to look for Bai Xian.
He looked around, but no one was there.
“Where’s Bai Xian?”
“He went home!” Xu Jiahao answered, “I just saw him at the door.”
Jin Mo’s face fell. It was only a little after three o’clock, why did Bai Xian leave already!
Xiao Feiwu walked over.
“Huzi said they found a witness who saw Bai Xian get into a van!”
Jin Mo’s originally lazy expression instantly became serious.
“And then?”
“The witness is a mountain person who wouldn’t say anything at first. Later, we gave him some money and promised not to reveal his information, and only then did he open his mouth.”
“There’s something wrong with that car?” Jin Mo sat up slightly, narrowing his eyes, and asked.
“Yes, that car is an unlicensed taxi! It is said that many people have been extorted!”
“An unlicensed taxi?”
“Yes!”
“Do you know who’s driving it?”
“The witness said it should be a local. He only saw them from a distance. It seems to be a gang of three or four people.”
“Can we trace the route of that car?”
Xiao Feiwu shook his head.
“No! That car is too familiar with the surveillance along the way. After driving out, it changed lanes, and no trace of it was found on the main road into the mountains. It wasn’t until a day later that the car flashed under surveillance, and then disappeared!”
Jin Mo’s eyes widened, “Damn it, did they drag Bai Xian to the remote mountains and wilderness? Then they had a fight? And Bai Xian’s face was injured by them? They lay in the remote mountains and wilderness for a day?”
Xiao Feiwu pulled a stool over, sat down, and crossed his legs, swaying them.
“With Baiyan’s skills, dealing with a few small-time crooks is not a problem at all! I think your idea is still possible?”
Xu Jiahao stood at the foot of the bed and tapped Jin Mo’s cast leg.
“Why don’t you just ask Bai Xian! You two are already so familiar, he should tell you if you ask him! Save us all from guessing here!”
Jin Mo blinked his eyes and howled.
“I wanted to help Bai Xian get revenge!”
“No…,” Xu Jiahao stared, “Bai Xian beat people so badly they were lying there for a day, what kind of revenge do you still want to get?”
The two glared at each other, refusing to give in.
Xiao Feiwu waved his hand.
“You two stop arguing, we still have to find people. The witness said that this small gang is quite harmful in this area and affects people from the city coming to invest!”
“Okay, then let’s continue to investigate!” Jin Mo thought for a while and said, “However, tonight, I can ask Bai Xian what happened when he came.”
Xu Jiahao didn’t say anything more, sat down on the chair next to him, and started browsing his phone.
Before 5:30, Bai Xian walked in with a meal box and a thermos.
“Bai Xian.” Jin Mo’s eyes lit up when he saw Bai Xian.
A smile appeared on the corner of Bai Xian’s mouth. The cold aura from just now instantly had a hint of warmth.
“Bai Xian!” Xiao Feiwu also called out with Jin Mo, but his eyes were fixed on the meal box in Bai Xian’s hand.
Xu Jiahao reached out and stroked his forehead. Could this guy’s ambition be any more obvious?
Bai Xian glanced at Xiao Feiwu indifferently and, uncharacteristically, uttered a few words.
“There’s more!”
As soon as Xiao Feiwu heard this, he understood, and happily said, “Thank you, Bai…Xian!”
Then he dragged Xu Jiahao and hurried out, looking impatient.
Xu Jiahao was still confused and almost got pulled down by Xiao Feiwu.
“What are you doing?” He struggled to break free from Xiao Feiwu’s grip and shouted angrily.
“Hey, didn’t Bai Xian say there’s more? That means we can go back and eat!”
Xu Jiahao’s eyebrows jumped, looking puzzled.
“Really? I didn’t hear him mean for us to drink?”
“Bai Xian doesn’t talk much, usually uses elliptical sentences. You’ll understand when you get used to it!”
As he spoke, he looked like he was about to take off.
Xu Jiahao suddenly remembered Li Mengyao’s thermos and stopped Xiao Feiwu, who was about to fly.
“Go and get Li Mengyao’s thermos. We have to return it when we pass Uncle Li’s house!”
Xiao Feiwu paused and replied, “Okay!” He turned around and ran back to the ward.
A minute later, he rushed out with the thermos.
The two people in the ward watched Xiao Feiwu rush out like a whirlwind, then return like a whirlwind, and then leave like a whirlwind again, feeling like the earth was shaking.
Bai Xian set out the dishes, unscrewed the thermos, and poured out yam pork rib soup.
As soon as the lid was opened, a fragrance filled the air.
Jin Mo was very familiar with this smell.
Even the faint medicinal smell was exactly the same.
Finally smelling this smell again, Jin Mo was filled with emotions.
What Jin Baiyan, what Bai Xian, what not being the same person, all disappear.
Based on this soup alone, he could conclude that Bai Xian was his brother!
He had been physically weak since he was a child, and the family doctor prescribed him a tonic.
Jin Baiyan knew that he didn’t like to drink medicine directly, so he would put a little less in the pork rib soup and chicken soup he simmered. Over time, he got used to this taste.
At this time, even if Bai Xian had no memory, the instinct engraved in his bones would lead Bai Xian to follow his original behavior pattern.
“Bai Xian, it smells so good!” Jin Mo narrowed his eyes, looking intoxicated.
Bai Xian was pleased by Jin Mo’s expression.
He picked up the thermos, poured out a bowl, and handed it to Jin Mo.
“Have a taste!”
Jin Mo took the bowl, took a sip, and made a satisfied sound.
Bai Xian’s face flushed slightly.
When he was cooking the soup, he originally only had yam and pork ribs, but he always felt like something was missing. He stood in the small kitchen and froze for a while.
Astragalus, angelica, goji berries…
Various medicinal names that he had never thought of before involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Without hesitation, he turned around and went to a nearby Chinese medicine shop and bought the herbs he had thought of.
When simmering the soup, he almost didn’t need to think about the dosage, and just added it smoothly.
It wasn’t until everything was ready and he sat down on the chair next to him that he began to notice his abnormality.
Was he influenced by Jin Mo’s brother’s memory?
That’s why he did things that he shouldn’t be doing?
Bai Xian didn’t dwell on this question for too long.
He was just worried that Jin Mo wouldn’t like drinking this soup with the taste of Chinese medicine!
At this moment, hearing Jin Mo’s praise, he couldn’t help but feel happy, and the look in his eyes contained a hint of a smile.
As long as Jin Mo liked to drink it, he would be happy.
After drinking a small bowl of soup, Jin Mo was still not satisfied and stretched his hand out to Bai Xian.
“Bai Xian, I want more soup!”
Bai Xian shook his head and took away the bowl in Jin Mo’s hand.
“Eat!”
Jin Mo pouted.
Bai Xian added another sentence.
“After you finish eating, then drink!”
Jin Mo suddenly smiled, pulling on the hem of Bai Xian’s clothes and shaking it non-stop.
“Bai Xian, you’re so good! You cook for me, you simmer soup for me, what will I do if I can’t live without you in the future?”
Bai Xian’s hand holding the rice stopped, his ears slightly hot, and his eyes involuntarily twitched.
He didn’t speak, just handed the bowl to Jin Mo.
Jin Mo took the bowl and picked up the chopsticks.
“Bai Xian!” Jin Mo looked up at Bai Xian.
Bai Xian “Mm” sounded.
“I will rely on you for the rest of my life!” Jin Mo whispered.
The bowl in Bai Xian’s hand almost fell to the ground.
It took a long time for his almost ruined heart to calm down slightly.
