In the middle of the night, an inaudible voice burst into Song Ziyi's dreamland. She rubbed her eyes, opened her eyes, and saw Bai Li standing outside the balcony...seemingly...on the phone?
It's so late, who to call?
"If "Ghost Face" really has what I want, I will try it." Bai Li stood on the balcony and said quietly to the other end of the phone.
"How much do you believe that the man is named Zhang Zifan?"
"I don't know, but the thing is he survived now."
"Ali, just do whatever you want to do."
"...I'm worried that "Ghostface" will follow my thread to find you... If that's the case, I'd rather——"
"Stop saying such things. For you, the most important thing is no longer Tianxi, nor me, Chu Yixing, but Song Ziyi." Chu Yixing interrupted him, "All Italian members are at your disposal. I
I will finish Tianqi's acquisition of Group A as soon as possible, and I will come over after it is finished."
"No need, I can still do these things -"
"You can't even see your eyes. Are you still trying to be brave? I will ask Xiao Huo and Xiao Yan to go to your place tomorrow." Chu Yixing made a decision on his own.
"……kindness."
"Take good care of yourself." Chu Yixing sighed softly, "Ali, I don't want to lose you as my right-hand man. I'm still waiting for you to come back and continue to work hard for me!"
"I will." Bai Li vowed.
hang up the phone.
He, a man who has always had more negative aspects than positive aspects, is full of hope at this moment. As Song Ziyi said, it doesn't matter what Zhang Zifan has done in these years, it doesn't matter what kind of person he is, what matters is what he has in his hands.
There is a way for him to survive.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he raised his hand to hold the French door closed——
The soft body came over gently and put her hands around his waist, "Husband, you are so good. Are you talking on the phone with others in the middle of the night?"
Bai Li couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, he put his arms around her, hugged her tightly, and kissed the top of her head, "It's cold outside."
Song Ziyi leaned on him and hooked him to let him carry her inside...
She just raised her head and looked at him seriously, chuckled and said, "Ali, actually I've always wanted to ask you..."
"uh-huh?"
Carrying her to the bed, he lifted the quilt and lay in. Song Ziyi naturally put her arms around his waist, "Why are you so devoted to Yi Xing?"
"He saved me." Bai Li turned sideways, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly, "He gave me a new life."
"But... you have been by his side for so many years. If it is just a favor, then it should be paid off, right?"
"This kind of thing...there is nothing that can't be paid off..."
"..."
"Yi Xing is a person who makes it easy for others to pour out their hearts and souls for him."
"Yeah..." Song Ziyi was a little confused, "I don't know where Shanshan is now... It would be better if she knew to go back earlier."
Bai Li lowered his eyes, "Whatever should come back will always come back."
Song Ziyi put her face against his chest and closed her eyes, "Then let me ask you another question... If Yixing and I were in trouble at the same time, what would you choose...?"
Her fists clenched slightly.
Women are such strange creatures. Even though they know how childish this kind of question is, they still ask it unconsciously.
"At that time, I may not have a choice, because... Yi Xing will ask me to save you."
"..."
Song Ziyi did not expect this answer.
"I Baili... was not born into a good family and did not receive much education, so if I meet a bad person, I will be worse than the bad person. If I meet a good person... then I will be better than the good person."
Song Ziyi laughed out loud...
Better than good?
Why do you feel like it doesn't suit him well?
"Yixing and you are the precious people in my life. I will live for you all my life."
"Don't live for us, live for yourself..."
Bai Li shook his head gently, "It may be a disease, but if it was just for myself, I might feel that this life is not that important."
"You are such a wonderful flower..."
When Song Ziyi said this, although his words were frivolous, it was also sad...
Chu Yixing changed his destiny, but why didn't he change the destiny of others? For example, she...
——————
Zhang Zifan took them to West Street. Song Ziyi looked at Zhang Zifan, "Are you sure you can wait for someone here?"
"I met him here in the past two days. If nothing happens, I will definitely meet him again today -"
Before Zhang Zifan finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on a man wandering outside a breakfast shop not far away...
Song Ziyi followed Zhang Zifan's gaze and saw that man - Bai Zifeng! The man nicknamed Madman.
Bai Li was wearing a gray trench coat and a pair of sunglasses. He felt completely out of place when standing on the streets of Italy. He seemed to have noticed that Song Ziyi had arrived to meet someone, but his expression did not change at all.
Song Ziyi glanced at him, then looked at Zhang Zifan, "Can you take Ah Li to sit in the cafe over there? I want to talk to Mr. Bai alone."
Bai Li stepped forward and held Song Ziyi in his arms, "You can say whatever you want, don't worry about me."
"Ali..."
She looked at his overly calm face, and to be honest, she seemed more nervous than he was.
"He came over." Zhang Zifan said.
Song Ziyi raised his eyes, and the man's pale eyes were already fixed on them.
"Mr. Bai, do you still remember me? We met at the supermarket door last time."
Bai Zifeng was dressed in rags, and his eyes quickly moved from Song Ziyi to Bai Li beside him.
The atmosphere suddenly became weird. Zhang Zifan raised his hand quickly and said, "Uncle, do you still remember me? We were chatting two days ago..."
"What do you want from me?" Bai Zifeng asked in a cold voice.
"Mr. Bai, I want to treat you to a meal... I know your relationship with A Li, so..."
"A Li?" Bai Zifeng's eyes were dull, "Who is it?"
"..."
Song Ziyi's heart sank suddenly...
Zhang Zifan was also a little stiff...
Only Bai Li looked calm, as if he had known it would end like this.
"Is your... name Bai Zifeng?"
"yes."
"Then do you have a son named...Bai Li?"
"Yes, but he should be dead." Bai Zifeng said casually.
"..." Song Ziyi looked at the man's expressionless face, how could he speak so...so casually and calmly?
"That's the only thing?"
"Mr. Bai!"
Bai Zifeng looked at Song Ziyi.
"You really don't recognize the man next to me at all?" Song Ziyi frowned, and she stared at this man closely...
"I don't know you." Bai Zifeng lowered his head and walked past them with his body bent.
Song Ziyi didn't believe it! That man clearly knew Bai Li! He had clearly recognized Bai Li!
Zhang Zifan scratched his hair, "Isn't he Xiaoli's father?"
"Impossible..." Song Ziyi gritted his teeth, "I want-"
"Ziyi, that's enough." Bai Li held her hand and clasped it tightly, "It seems... I'm not as lucky as you said."
Song Ziyi looked at Bai Li, but his heart was twisted...
It was her self-righteousness and random guessing that she transferred all the novels and TV series she had read to Bai Li...
Also, how can parents who are willing to exchange their children for money have such intentions?
She brought her to find Bai Zifeng, but it was just another stab in his heart!
"I'm sorry...Ali..."
"Fool, I told you it would be like this. Okay, let's go have lunch. What do you want to eat?"
Song Ziyi hugged his waist and buried her face in his arms, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Bai Li didn't feel anything at first, but when he heard Song Ziyi apologize over and over again, he felt uncomfortable...
"Song Ziyi, this is still a street! Find a place to eat first! I'm starving!" Zhang Zifan said!
Song Ziyi raised his head and glanced at Zhang Zifan, "Are you reincarnated as a starving ghost? You cry out that you are hungry all the time?"
"Food is the most important thing for the people. If I don't cry about hunger, why should I cry out?"
"..."
Song Ziyi sighed, and Bai Li took her hand again, "Let's go, I'm hungry too."
"...Then let's go."
Bai Li pulled her forward. Song Ziyi turned around hesitantly and looked in the direction Bai Zifeng left... but was shocked for a moment...
Bai Zifeng stopped at the corner and looked at them. Under his messy hair, his eyes were clearly moist...
Seemingly meeting her, he quickly turned around and left quickly——
Song Ziyi was a little dazed. Did she see it wrong? Or...
Looking at Bai Li again...
Maybe Bai Li's character is not shaped by the shadow of his youth. If the man named Bai Zifeng also has such a character...
Even if he recognized Bai Li, he would not nod.
Thinking about this, Song Ziyi still felt that his sixth sense was vaguely pointing to a better aspect.
"Ziyi?"
"I want to eat pizza." Song Ziyi suddenly said.
Bai Li tightened her grip and said, "Okay."
Zhang Zifan walked beside them, looking at her and Bai Li like a couple in love... Song Ziyi was a straightforward woman, she didn't even care about the differences between Bai Li and others, nor did she care about the way he looked at her now.
blind……
Is there still a gender difference after all?
No matter how kind he was to Bai Li, Bai Li couldn't accept it.
In the restaurant, the three of them had a big meal...
During this period, Song Ziyi and Zhang Zifan talked a lot. Bai Li was usually so taciturn that Song Ziyi would keep talking about his past whenever he was with his former friends.
She listened with great interest and was deeply moved by what Zhang Zifan said, but Bai Li just listened without listening and just peeled the lobster for Song Ziyi.
After eating, Song Ziyi asked Zhang Zifan and Bai Li to go back first. She said she was going to the mall to buy something.
Bai Li didn't ask any more questions and just asked her to come back early.
After they left, Song Ziyi asked around the area where the "madman" lived.
There are different opinions. Some people say that it is in a rental house behind a few roads, while others say that it is in an illegally built house...
Song Ziyi had no choice but to look for them one by one...
"Crazy? You mean the one named Bai?"
"Well, I heard he lives in this area."
"Oh, keep walking inside until you reach the very end. There is a small bungalow there, and he lives there."
