Chapter 212: Provided with Good Food and Drink

After leaving the Public Hall, Bai Zepei, to avoid suspicion, didn't go to interrogate Mister Li, and instead left the County Government Office with the Bai family. Bai Ruozhu was the last to leave. She quietly grabbed Xiaosi's hand and asked in a soft voice: "Xiaosi, are you okay?"

The demeanor of the child was somewhat cold and emotionless for his age, but it stirred when Bai Ruozhu spoke. He looked up at her and asked, "If I were not your brother, would you still be nice to me?"

A surge of emotion welled up in Bai Ruozhu's eyes, almost causing her tears to spill over. She earnestly looked at Xiaosi, at his dark, clear eyes, and replied, "No matter who you are, you will always be my brother, and I will always care about you."

A smile bloomed over Xiaosi's somewhat wooden face. The smile was slightly stiff, but in Bai Ruozhu's eyes, it was the most endearing and beautiful sight.
