Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One Chapter 291 - 108: She Has Someone She Likes 5

Cheng Xizhou cautiously observed Bai Xi’s reaction. Seeing that Bai Xi’s emotions were relatively calm, he boldly asked, "What kind of person is he? Is he handso?"

Bai Xi said, "I... don’t know what he looks like."

"Huh?" Cheng Xizhou was dumbfounded. "You fell for soone without knowing what they look like? What kind of spell did he cast on you?"

Shaking her head, Bai Xi said, "He didn’t cast any spell on . People in their line of work always have the sa disguise. They perpetually wear masks and black clothes; they all look pretty much the sa."

"Then how did you, out of all those people, single him out?" Cheng Xizhou was genuinely curious.

Bai Xi gazed at the orange-red sunset at the edge of the coastline, and she tenderly recalled, "I was raised by that organization and worked for them. Besides , there were many other children raised by the organization. But they were less fortunate; they were trained into the organization’s dogs, becoming one machine after another."

"And my job was to distribute weapons to them before they set out and inspect and collect their weapons when they returned."

Cheng Xizhou listened silently, unable to help asking her, "Then what story occurred between you and him?"

Bai Xi drew wave lines around that circle, making it look like a glowing sun.

Staring at the sand-drawn sun, Bai Xi smiled and said, "Everyone who goes out for a mission carries a dagger with hidden weapons. Usually, the hidden weapons contain a poison needle and a poison pill. The poison needle is for assassinating enemies, and the poison pill is for taking one’s own life in ergencies."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xizhou’s expression beca solemn.

She couldn’t imagine what kind of hopeless life those poor tools were leading.

"Once, during a major mission abroad, their group lost two teammates, and only three returned alive. I went to conduct routine checks. Then I discovered that the hidden weapons and poison needles were intact in the daggers of the other two teammates, but his dagger’s concealed compartnt was missing the poison needle and poison pill."

Bai Xi’s eyes curved with a radiant smile, and she said, "He hid a candy, a small toffee, in the hidden compartnt."

"He took out that candy, placed it in the palm of my hand, said nothing, and just left. It was the first ti I tasted candy, incredibly sweet, sothing I’ll rember for a lifeti."

As Bai Xi laughed, she began to cry.

She choked up and said, "Later on, every ti he returned from a trip, he would hide a candy in the dagger. Sotis it was mint candy, sotis dried orange candy, sotis milk candy. Thanks to him, while trapped in that underground prison, I got to taste candies from all over the world."

Bai Xi’s tears fell onto the sand, landing right in the center of that sun.

With tear-filled eyes, Bai Xi looked at that little sun and said, "I don’t know what he looks like or his background. All I know is his code na and that he loves ."

"He was called Sun, a person as warm as the sun."

Bai Xi sniffled, murmuring, "To completely eradicate that organization, multinational armies flattened that snowy mountain. The guilty and innocent alike perished within."

"My Sun was also forever buried underground."

Bai Xi wiped her tears with her arm, turned slightly toward Cheng Xizhou with a pained smile, and said, "Zhouzhou, I already have soone I like. You don’t need to introduce anyone to ."

Cheng Xizhou turned away to wipe her tears, "Alright, I won’t introduce anyone. I can’t find soone who would bring you candy like that."

Xu Xingguang suddenly looked up at Bai Xi and Cheng Xizhou, her eyelids drooping, her emotions seemingly a bit downcast.

Fang Jinsu noticed Xu Xingguang’s change in mood and quickly asked with concern, "Teacher Xu, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly upset?"

Xu Xingguang shook her head and said, "I suddenly heard a sad story, feeling a bit down."

"Oh, I see." Fang Jinsu picked up the box lunch from the ground, stood up, and said, "Then you take a break. I have a scene later, I’ll go morize my lines."

"Okay."

After Fang Jinsu left, Xu Xingguang walked to the island’s shore with her phone, stooping to look for shells in the sand, and called ho in Cangshan Town.

"Boss?" It was Song Chi’s voice.

Xu Xingguang asked him, "Where’s Sister Linlin?"

Song Chi told Xu Xingguang, "Sister Lin went to the back mountain to check the dicine fields, and I’m in charge of staying ho to dry the herbs." Song Chi’s health had improved significantly, and he had started helping with chores.

After acknowledging, Xu Xingguang asked Song Chi, "Hearing your vigorous voice, your health seems to be recovering well. Have you regained so of your mory?"

Song Chi did not hide the truth from Xu Xingguang, replying honestly, "Sotis I recall so fragnted pieces, but it’s not complete."

"Song Chi. You told you grew up sowhere beneath a snowy mountain, right?"

Song Chi nodded, saying, "Yes, I vaguely rember us living in an underground cave beneath the snowy mountain. But beyond that, I can’t rember much. Boss, is there sothing you need?"

Xu Xingguang asked Song Chi again, "Do you know a girl nad Bai Xi?"

"Bai Xi?" Song Chi imdiately denied, "No impression whatsoever."

"Is that so?" The na Bai Xi might have only been an alias she used in Rashomon. Xu Xingguang then asked Song Chi, "When you went in and out of the snowy mountain gate, was there soone who would conduct checks?"

"Probably, but I can’t rember any of those things."

"Alright, I understand."

Song Chi thought Xu Xingguang was about to hang up, prepared to end the call when he suddenly heard her say, "After a while, when you fully recover, co to West Continent City."

"Go to West Continent City?"

"Yes, I need an assistant."

Song Chi didn’t hesitate at all and imdiately agreed. "Sure, I will head to West Continent City as soon as possible."

After hanging up, Xu Xingguang grabbed a handful of sand to filter in the seawater. The sand washed away, leaving only three or four broken shells.

Suddenly, the sound of a yacht cutting through the water reached Xu Xingguang’s ears.

Xu Xingguang looked up toward West Continent City and saw a private yacht approaching the island. From a distance, she couldn’t see how many people were on board, but could clearly see a large ’Jiang’ character printed on it.

Oh.

So they’re coming, huh?
