I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family-Chapter 607 - 616: After the Divorce, She Lost Her Value

Back then, his mind was all on studying, thinking that once the college entrance exam was over, he would confess his feelings.

But he hadn’t expected that the wait would turn out to...

Later, he thought as long as she was happy, that would be good enough, and all his energy was then devoted to studying and work.

When he met her again, he just thought, since they were classmates, he’d help her if he could, watching her anxious appearance made him worried too.

Later, when she said she was divorced, all he felt was intense sympathy for her.

Sympathy for her unfortunate encounter, sympathy for her sorrow.

And then came this time, which made his heart flutter again, the way she fiercely protected him.

So adorable, so...

And an accident yesterday brought them together, giving him the courage to express his feelings.

It’s just that Bai Xin seemed a bit shy, or perhaps a bit uncertain.

No matter, he could wait, willing to wait a lifetime if necessary.

He had thought he would spend his life like his master, dedicating himself to his work.

But now, he wanted to make a little more effort.

Perhaps there would be a different future?

...

Bai Xin tossed and turned, finding it hard to sleep, admitting to herself that her heart was in turmoil.

Li Mo was the kind of person you didn’t need to worry about; as long as you needed him, he would definitely be there.

Perhaps he wouldn’t say anything particularly sweet, but he made her feel secure.

But she had been through a divorce, an unhappy marriage; it wasn’t that she couldn’t forget it or feared gossip.

It just felt like Li Mo, with his great prospects, would be wasting himself by being with her.

And she did not yet have the courage to step into another relationship and start over.

Perhaps she needed more time, but how long that would be, she didn’t know herself.

"Are you making pancakes, Auntie?"

Bai Zhi couldn’t help but feel helpless, watching her aunt flipping back and forth restlessly, weren’t you tired?

Bai Xin suddenly sat up and looked across at Bai Zhi.

"Xingxing, I..." Bai Xin looked at the blurry Bai Zhi, moved her lips, and it felt like all her courage disappeared in that instant.

"Just say whatever you want to say, Auntie."

Bai Zhi was somewhat helpless, not having expected her usually decisive aunt to hem and haw.

"I want to say... go to sleep early, good night."

Bai Xin quickly lay back down, sighing at her own embarrassment.

"Just so long as you’re happy, Auntie, you can do whatever you like; Wu Wa and I will always be behind you, accompanying and protecting you."

Bai Zhi looked at Bai Xin earnestly. In fact, it wasn’t important whether Bai Xin ended up with Li Mo or not, what mattered most was that she was happy.

No matter what decision Bai Xin made, as long as she was happy, they would support her.

"Xingxing, you guys..."

Bai Xin sat up again, not having imagined Bai Zhi would say such things to her.

After all, remarrying was still a subject for gossip in the village.

"Xingxing, do you think your aunt can still find happiness?"

Although she felt good living on her own, sometimes she would doubt herself – did she really have the right to happiness again?

After all, she was divorced.

Sometimes it wasn’t self-denial but the environment that denied her first.

People often said, "Bai Xin, how come you’re divorced?"

As if being divorced made her less valuable.

Bai Xin was truly grateful for her father, and for Xingxing.

She had never felt any different about divorce because of them, of course, unless she had overheard others expressing their disdain.

"Of course, Aunt, how could you think that way? If we go by what you’re saying, should I, this sickly person, be even more despised by you all?"

Bai Zhi was taken aback, never expecting her aunt to think like that.

To even assume she isn’t worthy of happiness.

"Aunt, I always used to focus on getting Bai Da’s attention. I tried so hard, I pushed myself to the point of being covered in scars but did they care about me in the end?"

Looking back now, she was foolish to the extreme, wasn’t she?

But at that time, she didn’t think so. She even believed that if she did just a little bit more, just a bit more, then they would notice her.

People always have their foolish moments, realizing it is what matters.

Like her, now.

"That’s because they are blind."

Bai Xin hurried to add, "Bai Da is blind."

"So, those who spoke those words are blind. Aunt, I was wrong to care so much about what Bai Da and the others thought, and it’s the same for you. We’re living our own lives. Why should we care what others think? If you’re doing well, they’re just jealous. If you’re not, they only make things worse. So what’s the point of caring about such people? We should just live happily and freely, becoming the envy of others. Wouldn’t you say?"

Bai Zhi got out of bed, walked over to Bai Xin, took her hand, and spoke word by word.

Her voice was soft yet resolute, and the smile on her lips was the greatest support she could offer Bai Xin.

She would steadfastly support and accompany Bai Xin.

"Aunt, I’m not asking if you like Uncle Li Mo. Xinxin, Wu Wa, and Grandpa, we’ll always be by your side. Whether you like him or stay single, as long as you’re happy, we’ll support you. Don’t worry about the envious words of others, because the better you do, the more they’ll be green with envy, right?"

There will always be those who wish you do worse than them, and they’ll find any reason to be acidic, using anything as an excuse to attack you.

From academics to work, from family to everything else, the point is to prove they’re better than you.

So why bother with all that, why care about such an issue?

"Xingxing... you’re right. I should just go with the flow; I don’t want to think about these things right now." freёweɓnovel.com

Bai Zhi’s words seemed to clear a lot of things up for Bai Xin.

In fact, Xingxing wasn’t wrong. Her life was her own, and wasn’t she having a good one right now, with money and a daughter? Why waste energy on needless thoughts?

As for Li Mo, let things take their course.

Bai Xin lay down again, and this time she quickly drifted into sleep.

...

The sun finally shone across the land once again, and in the hospital room, Bai Da was like a man soaked in water.

It was painful...

All through the night, he endured endless torment, never ceasing.

He felt this was the cruelest punishment; the slightest motion brought unbearable pain, yet there was no chance to escape it.

At this moment, he couldn’t even remember why it was put there in the first place.

When the doctor made the rounds, he urgently requested its removal, and the doctor agreed to the procedure but said it couldn’t be done under anesthesia.

Thinking of the relentless pain, he consented.

Whether Bai Zhi would find out or Li Mo would come to tell her, she’d only laugh coldly. He shouldn’t think that would be enough for her to forgive him.

For the first time, Bai Zhi took the initiative to visit Bai Da.

And at that moment, Bai Da was waiting for surgery. His forehead was drenched in sweat, and he couldn’t exert any effort because any movement brought agonizing pain.

Seeing Bai Zhi, he was surprised and at the same time, a flicker of joy crossed his eyes. Was Xingxing feeling sorry for him?

"Xingxing, why are you here? Daddy’s not hurting, really not hurting. Only now does Daddy understand how much pain you must’ve been in before."

Bai Zhi felt amused listening to him. Did Bai Da even know what he was saying? He probably didn’t understand himself.

"You’re overthinking it. I just wanted to see how much pain you’re really in."
