Chapter 1148

Baili Xia didn’t speak, closing her eyes and silently allowing herself to recover.

When she opened her eyes again, she could finally see everything around her clearly.

Seeing Bei Tianyou, she exclaimed in surprise, “Brother You, why are you here? When did you arrive?”

Bei Tianyou and Nangong Xu couldn’t help but look at each other, realizing that this girl still didn’t know where she was.

Bei Tianyou cleared his throat and said softly, “It’s not that I came; you came to my place.”

Looking at her still pale face, his gaze softened a bit: “This is Bei Miao, the Bei Family.”

…

This was Baili Xia’s first visit to Bei Miao, the Bei Family.

Certainly, she had heard a lot about it, especially from Mu Ziqing.

Mu Ziqing’s admiration for Bei Tianyou was endless, she could talk about it for days and nights.

Yet at this moment, she had no mood to appreciate the architectural differences between the Bei Family and the Mu Mansion.

Looking at the vast expanse of verdant greenery, her heart suddenly ached.

On that broad grassland in front of her, there seemed to be an additional figure.

Its doctor-white flawless fur, and its agile figure joyously running across the grass, so lively.

Every time she would just softly call, it would immediately run towards her, then obediently stay by her side …

She shouldn’t have participated in that hunting competition; if she hadn’t, perhaps it would still be here.

Shengxue …

Her nose tingled, and big tears suddenly slid down from the corners of her eyes.

Shengxue, her Shengxue, the one that died protecting her.

Her delicate, adorable, and obedient Shengxue …

“Ooh…” Baili Xia suddenly choked up, squatting down on the spot.

Hugging her knees, a wave of sorrow overwhelmed her, hurting so much she found it difficult to breathe.

Her melancholic crying startled Bei Tianyou, who had been walking ahead of her.

Turning back, he saw her squatting on the ground, crying out loud.

He paused, then immediately turned back, walked to her side, yet unsure how to comfort her.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? We should go back and find Mr. Nangong.”

Baili Xia shook her head, biting her lip hard, trying not to cry out loud.

Crying in someone else’s house is very impolite, but she couldn’t help it.

Bei Tianyou didn’t say anything more, knowing that women’s tears could either be annoying or leave one feeling helpless.

Baili Xia fell into the latter category, although he didn’t know why he was particularly patient with her.

After giving her enough time to calm down, he then softly asked, “What exactly happened?”

“It died,” Baili Xia said hoarsely, choking up.

Her head still buried in her knees, unable to lift it as she couldn’t see the path ahead anyway.

“Who died?” Bei Tianyou’s heart clenched slightly, her response leaving ambiguity.

Baili Xia slowly stopped crying, finally looking up at him.

Brother You, who visited Mu Mansion that day, also had a good relationship with Shengxue; it seemed to particularly like him.

Thinking of Shengxue, tears uncontrollably slid down again.

“It…” She bit her lip, her eyes brimming with tears.

“Who exactly died? A family member?” It wasn’t that Bei Tianyou was unfeeling, discussing this calmly with her like this.

In reality, he truly didn’t know who had met with the unfortunate demise.

Crouching beside her, he asked softly again, “Who is it? Can you tell?”

If she couldn’t speak, he wouldn’t press her.

Taking a deep breath, Baili Xia’s voice was incredibly hoarse: “…Shengxue.”
