He could no longer bring happiness to Ji Bing, no matter how hard he tried; he couldn't ignore what had happened in recent days.
This version of himself could not face Ji Bing and could only end their relationship.
The previous day, he had considered calling Ji Bing to propose a breakup. He hesitated all night, then made a deal with himself: if he remembered everything when the sun came up, he would make that call. As though suffering from an obsessive-compulsive disorder, after making his pledge, he hadn't slept at all. He was afraid of waking up and forgetting his solemn vow and decision.
He wanted to deal with some matters while he still had a clear mind.
"Why" Ji Bing asked through her tears. "You said you would marry me in six months, but now what happened Have you forgotten already"
Ji Bing's tears rolled down. "We were doing so well. Why do we have to break up Mo Chen told me that you're quitting drugs, and I understand, Xiao Bai. Really, I understand. You don't need to feel like a burden on me; I'm not afraid."
"My drug addiction is almost cured," Xiao Bai said. "There's no lasting damage. I won't be a burden, but the person who wanted to marry you..." He frowned and didn't know how to explain himself. Finally, he said bluntly, "Ji Bing, let's break up. We really aren’t suited for each other."
"That’s nonsense! I won't break up with you. Why are we not suitable You once told me that we were the perfect match and how happy we used to be. What happened Why did everything change so suddenly" Ji Bing screamed, her mind on the verge of breaking down from the pain she couldn't comprehend.
The White Piglet said, "I used to think we were compatible, but now I don't think so. It's that simple."
Ji Bing silently shed tears, biting her lip and shaking her head. "I waited for you in Rome to come back home and get married. I held onto my phone every day, even plugging it in when the battery died out of fear of missing your call. I cared so much about you, and you used to love me too. Why would you suddenly want a breakup Can you give me a reason Don't say we're not compatible, White Piglet. What's wrong with you How could you change like this"
The White Piglet frowned, at a loss for words. Suddenly, Ji Bing asked, "Did your heart change Did you fall in love with someone else"
"No!" The White Piglet hesitated for a moment before answering firmly. Before Ji Bing could speak, he interrupted her.
"What did you say" Ji Bing's voice was full of shock; she found it even harder to understand Mo Bai's words. After thinking carefully, she finally understood that what the White Piglet meant by his heart changing wasn't about not loving her anymore but that someone else was trying to make him change his feelings for her. Tears streamed down Ji Bing’s face as sobs choked her voice; The White Piglet hung up the phone without wanting to hear her cries, which reminded him of a tragic accident several years ago where she had cried just like this.
He did like Ji Bing, and if possible, he wouldn't mind spending his life with her. With Ji Bing around, he felt needed, that there was someone who truly wanted him, giving him a sense of self-worth.
He enjoyed being with Ji Bing, relishing the way she depended on him. He could even tolerate others calling him spineless if it meant he could pamper her and keep her dependent on him forever. However, things didn't go as expected.
The phone rang again; Ji Bing was calling. The White Piglet hesitated for a few minutes before the call ended several times due to inactivity. Patiently waiting, Ji Bing finally got through after several attempts. "Ji Bing, I'm sorry," said the White Piglet when he picked up.
"Who do you love Do I know them" Ji Bing trembled as she asked, ignoring his apology.
Moxiao Bai said, "You don't know him."
"Who is that person" Ji Bing pressed on with her questions. "Who do you actually love Are all your feelings for me fake"
"Ji Bing, I'm not being fake towards you," Xiao Bai said. "I truly care about you and genuinely want to love you."
"But I’m just tired now. I can no longer fight against the voice in my heart. I am exhausted and don’t want to continue suffering like this anymore."
“So being with me is tiring for you You find it hard Bai, how do you think this makes me feel If you didn't like me at all, why did you provoke me in the first place Why can you take things back and forth so casually What am I to you” Ji Bing shouted.
Xiao Bai could only say sorry. After Ji Bing hung up on him, he also ended the call, tossing his phone aside as he lay motionless on the ground. Recalling every moment spent with Ji Bing, he hoped she would be able to move past their shared memories and find happiness.
He wished her well, better than anyone else’s wish. He wanted everything in her life to be better than his own.
"Ji Bing, forgive me," Xiao Bai muttered to himself. Apart from asking for forgiveness, he could not say anything more to Ji Bing. They had reached the end of their conversation.
Xiao Bai hadn't slept in two days and was extremely tired. He always felt sleepy but refused to sleep. This kind of non-stop activity made further training impossible. On one occasion when Xiao Bai said he couldn't sleep, Ba Ye Shen thought something bad would happen if this continued and urged Mo Yao to let Xiao Bai rest.
He didn’t know that what Bai Ye Shen pointed out was true: every time Xiao Bai slept, he forgot everything until he woke up again. He did not want to disappear.
Moyao was deeply moved, but Baiye said that if it continued like this, Xiaobai's body would be unable to handle it. His immunity and resistance would weaken, making his addiction stronger, and he absolutely had to rest. Only then did Moyao figure out a way to get him to sleep.
He didn't want Xiaobai to make such sacrifices.
The next day when Xiaobai woke up, surprisingly, he hadn't returned to being the cheerful version of himself but was still that gloomy and slightly sorrowful person. Moyao was pleasantly surprised while Baiye felt rather astonished; almost believing that Xiaobai had recovered his memories completely.
Almost so, but after conducting a detailed check-up, he dismissed this thought. Xiaobai's own consciousness was too strong and dominant for him to revert back to the version of Le. Only when he felt unable to cope or face things did he switch back to being Le to avoid them.
Rongyan and Chu Li left Liede after a few days following the Lunar New Year, while Caca and Wushuang also had to return home. As such, Liede became slightly quieter once more. Ye Wei and Shiyi wanted to leave as well but considering how unstable Xiaobai was, neither of them felt at ease about it, so they decided to stay.
Baiye said that Xiaobai would need to detox until June.
Six months wasn't long for them. Xiaobai oscillated between being awake and being Le, with periods of clarity followed by times when he was Le. He himself couldn't tell the difference, and Baiye didn't want to bother figuring it out; only by thoroughly detoxing could Xiaobai be fully restored.
However, no one could resist an unexpected turn of events.
In mid-April, Ji Bing had a car accident in Rome and was hospitalized in critical condition. Mo Chen feared that Ji Bing wouldn't make it through this ordeal and couldn't conceal the news from him, so he informed Mo Xiaobai. Coincidentally, at this time, Xiaobai was still Le. Upon hearing about Ji Bing's uncertain fate, his heart raced with worry. Although Baiye and Su Man forbade him from returning to Rome, he secretly purchased a ticket there without using the Mafia’s private jet. By the time everyone noticed what had happened, he was already on the plane.g this all of a sudden""I just feel like we should do business together in the future," said Mo Xiaobai, laughing heartily and casually. "Have there been any incidents""Yes!""Wow, you're really brave!...
