Ji Ice, let's break up.

Bai Xue knew that Ji Ice was feeling very sad at this moment. But he himself wasn't doing well either. He had once promised to take care of Ji Ice for life, but he hadn't been able to keep his promise. Although he could have continued taking care of her forever, he couldn't go on like this anymore. Ji Ice and Mo Yao were both very important people in his life. He had already wronged one person for over a decade, and he didn't want to drag Ji Ice into a future filled with regrets.

He was no longer able to bring happiness to Ji Ice. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't ignore what had been happening lately nor could he overlook his growing feelings of possession towards Mo Yao.

This version of himself couldn't face Ji Ice anymore and thus had no choice but to break up with her.

He had considered calling Ji Ice yesterday to propose the breakup. He hesitated all night before betting with himself that if he still remembered everything when he woke up, then he would call. It was as though he suffered from a mental compulsion; after making this bet, he couldn't sleep at all, fearing that upon waking up, he might forget his previous vows and the decision to end their relationship. He wanted to resolve some issues while he was still in full control of his senses.

He didn't want any more delays leading to regrets.

"Why" Ji Ice asked, her voice trembling as she sounded very aggrieved. "You told me just a few days ago that you'd wait for half a year and then we would get married when you returned. Have you forgotten about it"

Ji Ice's tears streamed down. "We were doing fine; why do we have to break up Mo Chen said you're detoxing, I understand, Bai Xue, I really do understand. You don't need to feel guilty for holding me back; I'm not afraid and will take care of you."

"My addiction is almost over," Bai Xue explained. "There are no lingering effects. I don't fear burdening you. The person who said we'd marry... " He frowned, unsure how to explain further. So he simply stated, "Ji Ice, let's break up; we really aren’t compatible."

"You're lying! I won't break up with you! Why are we incompatible You said we were the perfect match and that we used to be so happy together. How could everything change just like this" Ji Ice shouted wildly, gradually becoming frenzied. Her pain was immense; she felt a profound frustration and sharp agony within her heart, unable to understand how things had come to this.

The White said, "I used to think we were compatible, but now I feel otherwise. That's it."

Ji Bing silently cried and bit her lip, shaking her head. "I waited for you in Rome until you came back to marry me. I kept my phone charged so that I wouldn't miss your call. I cared about you so much, and you used to love me too. Why do we have to break up suddenly Can you give me a reason Don’t just say that we’re not compatible anymore, White. What’s wrong with you Why did you change"

The White frowned and was speechless. Suddenly Ji Bing asked, "Did your heart change Did you fall in love with someone else"

"No!" After hesitating for a moment, The White answered firmly. Just as Ji Bing was about to speak, The White interrupted her. "I have always loved you, but I just didn’t want to face it. I tried changing my feelings, but it didn’t work."

“What did you say” Ji Bing’s voice was filled with shock. She found it even harder to understand what the Black and White had said. After thinking for a while, she realized that when he talked about his heart changing, it wasn't about him losing feelings for her but rather trying to get him to change his feelings towards her. Tears streamed down Ji Bing’s face as sobs choked her voice. The White hung up the phone without wanting to hear her cries; these cries reminded him of an accident a few years ago when she had wept like this.

He did like Ji Bing and if possible, he wouldn’t mind living with her for life. With Ji Bing, he felt needed by someone and that there was still someone who needed him; therefore, he had value.

He enjoyed spending time with Ji Bing and cherished her dependence on him. He would willingly be called a spineless person if it meant being able to indulge Ji Bing in her reliance on him. However, things didn’t go as planned.

The phone rang again. It was Ji Bing calling. The White hesitated for several minutes before the call stopped ringing six or seven times. Patiently, Ji Bing continued to call and The White no longer avoided it; he picked up the phone. "Ji Bing, I'm sorry."

“Whom do you love Do I know her” Ji Bing trembled as she asked, ignoring his apology.

The Black and White said, “You don’t know her.”

“Then who is it Who do you actually love Are you just pretending with me” Ji Bing pressed on relentlessly.

"Ji Bing, I'm not pretending with you. I truly care for you and want to love you," Bai Xia said. "I just feel exhausted. I can no longer ignore the voice inside my heart. I’m tired of pushing myself so hard."

"So being with me is exhausting It’s hard for you, isn’t it How am I supposed to take this, Bai Xia If you don't like me, why did you provoke me in the first place You can just have what you want and then say you don't want it anymore. What do you think of me" Ji Bing shouted.

Bai Xia could only apologize. After hanging up the phone, he also hung up his own phone and threw it aside, lying on the ground unwilling to move. He recalled every moment he had spent with Ji Bing, hoping that Ji Bing would be able to get past this memory and find happiness.

He wanted Ji Bing to be well, better than anyone else; he hoped that everything in Ji Bing’s life would be better than his own.

"Ji Bing, forgive me," Bai Xia murmured. Apart from asking for forgiveness, there was nothing more he could say to Ji Bing at this point.

Bai Xia hadn't slept for two days and was extremely exhausted, often feeling drowsy. But he refused to sleep; without rest, his training couldn’t continue. Whenever Bai Xia said that he couldn’t fall asleep, Ba Ye thought something bad would happen if this continued. He tried to persuade Mo Yao to let Bai Xia rest, but Mo Yao had no other choice and decided on the quickest method.

This sort of physically demanding activity always left a person feeling sleepy afterward. So Mo Yao made Bai Xia forget everything. Usually, Mo Yao rarely initiated anything with Bai Xia; he only responded when Bai Xia couldn’t resist anymore. Hence, when Mo Yao restrained him, Bai Xia was confused and extremely tired, his mind a blank as Mo Yao said that he wanted something from him. Drowsily, Bai Xia was left without a choice but to comply. As the two rubbed together, heat built up...

This routine was already familiar between them. Mo Yao really wanted to go all the way this time because Bai Xia’s body had allowed it; doing so wouldn't cause any problems. However, he himself had been sleep-deprived for several days and only wanted Bai Xia to rest. If they went through with it now, Mo Yao would surely have a hard time sleeping afterward. Therefore, he restrained himself and opted for the most basic form of intimacy, using his hands and mouth— something he was proficient in. Pressured by him, Bai Xia had already climaxed several times; finally drained, he lay limp on the bed with no desire to move.

Every time they did this, it felt like being wild animals, extremely vigorous but consuming a lot of energy. As Mo Yao carried Bai Xia for washing up afterward, the latter was almost asleep already. Returning again, Bai Xia struggled to open his eyes, only to have Mo Yao kiss them closed and coax him to sleep.

"Go to sleep; you can still see me when you wake up," Mo Yao whispered gently. Quickly, Bai Xia fell into a deep slumber. Mo Yao was deeply moved— this sort of thing really did help one sleep better. But he himself couldn’t sleep either. Ba Ye had asked him: Do you know why Bai Xia hasn't slept

No, he thought it was because Bai Xia was troubled and thus unable to fall asleep. However, Ba Ye enlightened him— every time Bai Xia fell asleep, he forgot everything; when awake again, he would be the same person who didn’t want to disappear and only wanted to stay with Mo Yao without making him sad.

Moyao was deeply touched, but Baiye said that if this continued, Xiaobai's body would not be able to handle it. His immunity and resistance would weaken, and his addiction would become stronger; he had to rest. Only then did Moyao find a way to make him sleep.

He didn't want Xiaobai to sacrifice so much.

He wished for Xiaobai to be healthy and happy, shouldering all the hardships himself.

The next day when Xiaobai woke up, surprisingly, he hadn't returned to his joyful state but remained melancholic and slightly sorrowful. Moyao was delighted while Baiye was taken aback; he almost believed that Xiaobai had recovered his memory completely.

Almost, until after a thorough check-up, Baiye dismissed the idea. Xiaobai's own consciousness was too strong to let him return to his joyful self unless driven by unbearable stress or confrontation.

Rongyan and Chu Li, as well as Chuchu, didn't stay in Riyadh for long; they left a few days after New Year’s Eve. KaKa and Wushuang also returned home, making Riyadh somewhat quieter again. Ye Wei and Shiyi wanted to leave too, but thinking about the unstable Xiaobai, neither could bear leaving him alone.

Baiye said that Xiaobai needed to detox until June.

Six months didn't seem long for them; Xiaobai oscillated between clarity and happiness, uncertain of his condition himself. Baiye was too tired to delve deeper into it and could only wait for Xiaobai's addiction to be completely eradicated before full recovery.

However, when an unexpected event occurred, no one could resist.

In mid-April, Ji Bing had a car accident in Rome and fell into a coma. Mo Chen was afraid that Ji Bing wouldn't last and informed Mo Xiaobai without delay. Coincidentally, at this time, Xiaobai was in his joyful state, and upon hearing about Ji Bing's uncertain condition, he grew anxious. Despite Baiye and Su Man prohibiting him from returning to Rome, he secretly bought a ticket back there, opting for a commercial flight instead of the mafia’s private jet. By the time everyone found out, he was already on board.

Ye Wei was furious; this rascal had been repeatedly warned not to leave Riyadh but ignored it and acted contrary to instructions. His wings seemed truly grown now. Ye Wei and Shiyi naturally rushed back to Rome that night, while Su Man stayed behind to continue her research. Baiye followed them onto the plane.er She couldn't understand the reason behind this.Even when hearing such news, he remained unbothered. Sometimes she wondered what could possibly make him change his expression; it was rare for her to...
