Chapter 191: When Will You Two Get Married?

~7 min read 1,338 words

Bai Wei was stunned.

Xiao Dabao was startled and hurriedly stepped forward, "Liujin, don't talk nonsense, she is..."

"Who are you?"

Xiao Dabao froze.

"Liujin, don't you recognize me anymore?"

Xiao Liujin looked at the few people before him in confusion; he did not recognize these people, but he felt a natural sense of closeness toward Bai Wei.

He looked at Xiao Moting again.

The tall man was quite handsome, his facial features as sharp as if carved by a knife, and his entire being faintly exuded the nobility and murderous aura of someone in power.

He tried hard to think.

He remembered.

This is Dad!

He and Dad had bought clothes for Mom together!

Xiao Liujin's eyes lit up, and he called out to Xiao Moting.

"Dad!"

As soon as the words fell, the tent fell into instant silence.

Xiao Liujin also felt something was wrong and looked at the crowd timidly.

"Did I... say something wrong?"

The Military Doctor had a strange look in his eyes.

It's over!

This child has been burned stupid.

Xiao Dabao was also frightened and cried out, "Liujin, why... why can't you recognize me? I am your big brother."

Xiao Liujin looked at him in confusion.

"Big brother?"

There seemed to be some impression in his mind; this chubby brother had carried him on his back when he was small and walked a very long way.

Bai Wei came back to her senses, her delicate brows knitting slightly.

She lowered her voice to Xiao Moting.

"The toxins Xiao Liujin was exposed to can damage the cerebral nerves. He was poisoned too deeply, and combined with the persistent high fever, it may have damaged his memory."

Xiao Dabao panicked, "Can, can he get better?"

"This... I can't say for sure." Bai Wei sighed, "Even where we are from, developing human brain function is a difficult problem in the medical field."

Xiao Dabao clenched his fists in distress, "What should we do from now on?"

Bai Wei thought for a moment, "I have checked him; his other functions are fine, he has just forgotten some things, which will not hinder his daily life."

"But... but he doesn't even remember me, his big brother, and only remembers the Prince."

Bai Wei turned her head and looked at Xiao Liujin.

Xiao Liujin sat quietly on the bed, looking at her with eager eyes, just like an abandoned stray puppy.

Bai Wei glanced at Xiao Moting.

She knew the Xiao brothers were orphans whose family had all perished; they had joined the Beijiang Army initially just to survive.

Bai Wei walked up to Xiao Moting, feeling a bit hesitant.

"Xiao Liujin's memory has problems, why don't... you take care of him for now?"

Xiao Moting pondered for a moment and spoke hesitantly.

"Since Xiao Liujin takes me for his father and thinks you are his mother..."

"How about... I adopt him as my foster son, so it will be more convenient to take care of him in the future."

After finishing, he looked at Bai Wei with bright eyes, a faint, almost imperceptible smile on his thin lips.

"Bai, what do you think of this method?"

"Ah?" Bai Wei was also stunned.

Xiao Moting is his father, and she is his mother...

Wouldn't that mean she and Xiao Moting...

Before she could recover, Xiao Dabao had already excitedly knelt down before Xiao Moting with a thud.

"Thank you, Prince. For Xiao Liujin to receive the Prince's care is a blessing he has cultivated over eight lifetimes."

"It is nothing." Xiao Moting smiled faintly, "Xiao Liujin has always been training in the Beijiang Army, and I have watched him grow up since he was small; he is half a son to me."

Bai Wei looked at the two of them.

Since things had reached this point, she felt embarrassed to refuse.

Besides, Xiao Liujin was too pitiful.

Losing his parents at a young age, fighting desperately to kill the enemy just to survive, and joining the most dangerous Assault Team.

"Bai, what is your opinion?" Xiao Moting gazed at her deeply, his dark eyes carrying a touch of indescribable tenderness.

Bai Wei bit her lip slightly.

"I have no objections."

She also liked Xiao Liujin very much.

The rest of the people were extremely envious.

Xiao Liujin was truly lucky; his foster father was the renowned Prince of Northern Suppression, and "Goddess" was his foster mother. With these two great backers, his future was simply boundless.

"Thank you, Prince. Thank you, Bai." Xiao Dabao was so moved that his eyes grew sore.

After finishing, he spoke with some embarrassment.

"There is one more thing I would like to ask Bai to decide."

Bai Wei asked, "What is it?"

"My brother... no, the name Xiao Liujin was one I made up randomly." Xiao Dabao scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "I don't know how to read, so the name I gave him was a mess. Anyway, Liujin has forgotten his past, so I would like to ask Bai to give him a new name."

"This..." Bai Wei was taken aback; she hadn't expected Xiao Dabao to want her to name Xiao Liujin.

The Military Doctor stood to the side and nodded as well.

"Xiao Liujin doesn't have a formal name. Now that he has a foster father and mother, it would be better for him to take the Prince's surname and have a proper formal name."

Bai Wei understood, and she looked at Xiao Liujin and spoke softly.

"Traveling a thousand miles across the land, the scenery enters ten thousand mountains."

"From now on, Liujin's formal name shall be Xiao Lujing."

Xiao Moting recited it in a low voice.

"Xiao Lujing, traveling a thousand miles, the scenery of ten thousand mountains... Bai truly has a wonderful literary talent."

Xiao Dabao excitedly grabbed Xiao Liujin in a hug.

"Liujin, from now on you have a name; you are called Xiao Lujing."

"You are no longer an orphan; you have a father and a mother."

Bai Wei rolled her eyes and gave a mischievous smile, "Xiao Dabao, if you don't mind, you could also call Xiao Moting 'Father'."

The crowd around them suddenly burst into uproarious laughter.

Qin Zhan teased, "Yo, Dabao, what did you eat to grow so fast? How did this son of yours grow up so big all of a sudden?"

The soldiers outside laughed even harder.

Xiao Dabao was so embarrassed he kept scratching his head.

Xiao Moting grew up in the Beijiang Army, and since everyone was a playmate in childhood, he never put on airs when interacting in private.

He smiled faintly, "It wouldn't be bad for this Prince to have such a big son."

Xiao Dabao gave a dry laugh.

"Bai, how could I have such good fortune? I am already very content to be able to follow the Prince in conquering the empire."

Xiao Lujing murmured.

"I am called Xiao Lujing; I have a father, a mother, and an older brother."

The young boy's dark, indifferent eyes were tinged with a bit of joy.

He raised his head, called out "Father" to Xiao Moting, and then called out "Mother" properly to Bai Wei.

Bai Wei smiled beautifully, reached out to pat his head, took a Hero-brand fountain pen from her pocket, and handed it to Xiao Lujing.

"Lujing, this is for you."

She was a graduate of a Traditional Chinese Medicine university and was accustomed to carrying a pen with her.

This was something she had tucked in her pocket and brought with her when she came to Daliang.

Xiao Lujing gripped the fountain pen tightly and nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Mother."

Bai Wei thought for a moment, leaned into his ear, and whispered.

"Lujing, Mother hasn't married your father yet, so just keep it in your heart that I am your mother. When we are outside... just call me Sister Bai."

Xiao Lujing blinked his eyes and asked in confusion.

"Sister Bai, then when will you marry Father?"
