Feng Wu opened her umbrella. âRain during the sunny season usually stops after just a while, but today the rain is just getting worse. Weâll probably be drenched by the time we get back.â
She kept saying âBig Sisterâs place,â but didnât mention the City Lord Residence at all. From the looks of it, Feng Wu didnât live at the City Lord Residence.
This made Tang Doudou curious. Hadnât Feng Wu rushed here from hundreds of miles away to find Su Yi?
Leaving aside the fact for now that she rarely saw Feng Wu, why was Feng Wu living outside of the City Lord Residence?
Feng Wu had probably guessed what Tang Doudou was thinking. As she pulled Tang Doudou and walked into the rain, she explained, âIn regards to men ah, even if you like a person to the point he fills your heart, you must still maintain the haughtiness of a woman and canât lower your dignity too much. You canât allow him to feel that you wouldnât be able to live without him.â
âOf course, with this kind of distance itâll also make it hard for him to see through your thoughts, so from time to time heâll think of you. Itâs much better using this method than to keep bothering him every day and causing him to be sick of you.â
Tang Doudou was speechless. Feng Wu seriously had the talent to be the host of a relationship talk show.
It was also to be expected. She had lived for so long, what hadnât she seen before?
Constantly hanging around and bothering a man was indeed very annoying, especially when it was towards someone that didnât like you.
It seemed that in the future she had to work hard and learn from Feng Wu so that Baili Yu would treat her considerately and sweetly. Itâd be best if he never goes out to attract butterflies and bees, especially things like female cousins and little junior sistersâ¦
Baili Yu, who was in a distant inn drinking tea with Jun Xin, never would have imagined that his little wife had already, due to a couple words from someone, decided to maintain a set distance from him from now on.
He had taken off his flirtatious red robe and changed into an elegant white garment that gave off a very celestial feel. He lay sideways on the couch, his fox-like eyes closed lightly. He only opened his eyes once Jun Xin finished talking about how he walked Tang Doudou back to the City Lord Residence.
Looking towards the injury on Jun Xinâs arm, Baili Yu asked softly, âHow did you get injured?â
Jun Xin had already gotten rid of the poison and bandaged the wound. Hence, what Baili Yu saw right now was simply that a white cloth was wrapped around Jun Xinâs arm. The condition of the injury couldnât actually be made out.
âIt was just a little accident.â If he said that it was Nangong Yan who had made several attempts on Tang Doudouâs life, this person would probably head over right now to personally kill Nangong Yan for revenge.
However, there was only one outcome for that. The Island Master wouldnât be able to do anything to Baili Yu, but he had countless ways to deal with Tang Doudou.
Baili Yu was only a person; he wasnât god. Even if he had enormous capabilities, there was no way he could stay by Tang Doudouâs side every day. That was why it was best for him to deal with this matter himself. No one would link his actions to Tang Doudou and it would actually instigate conflict between Wind Cloud Island and the Seven Great Saint Tribesâ¦
âAh Xin?â
He had been too immersed in his thoughts and only snapped out of it after Baili Yu had called him several times. âThatâs all, nothing else happened. Iâm tired so Iâll head back first to rest. If thereâs anything else, letâs talk about it tomorrow.â
He has always done as he said he would do when it came to deals with Baili Yu. Last time, he had agreed that as long as Baili Yu called him âAh Xinâ again, he would come back to help and give up his desire for Tang Doudou.
The price Baili Yu had to pay was that he had to help him get revenge and help him protect Tang Doudou.
Baili Yu was also someone that kept his word. Thatâs why, when he called Jun Xin âAh Xin,â he had already completed the earlier deal. (I think it meant that Baili Yu had taken revenge for Jun Xin, aka killed someone or multiple someones for Jun Xin.)
Although Jun Xin was rash and had also once considered killing Baili Yu, in the end he still couldnât bring himself to do it. The brotherly friendship formed from once having fought side by side wasnât something that could be severed so easily. Moreover, he had misunderstood this matter the entire time.
âThatâs not what I want to know.â Baili Yu sat up on the couch and gestured for the maids to withdraw.
Jun Xin watched with confusion as those maids went out, then watched as Baili Yu stood up and walked to him.
Baili Yuâs gaze was filled with complicated emotions as he looked at the Junior Brother in front of him that he had pretty much brought with him this entire way. He knew well that though Jun Xin looked as if he didnât care about anything on the surface, he had a heart that cared about things more than anyone else did. Baili Yu then recollected his emotions and said slowly, âAh Xin, have you really thought everything through? Are you sure you wonât regret this? You must know that choosing to help me is a path you wonât ever be able to turn back from. Youâve been with me so many years, yet youâve never agreed to it beforeâ¦â
Jun Xin interrupted him without bothering to listen to the end. He replied decisively without hesitation, âI wonât! I wonât regret!â
Following that, he looked straight at Baili Yu with a very resolute and sharp gaze. âI also believe in you. I believe that you wonât disappoint me!â
Baili Yu smiled. In comparison with those meaningful smiles from before, this smile was much more like a real smile. There were probably very few people in the world that had the chance to see him smile like this. âAh Xin, thank you.â
It had to be admitted that Baili Yuâs looks were way too beautiful. There were few people that could resist his looks when he smiled. Jun Xin turned his head away, refusing to look at this seductive yao as he said in a muffled voice, âDonât celebrate too early. If I ever find out that you arenât treating her well, donât blame me for directly stealing her away.â
âHaha, donât worry, a day like that will never come!â Baili Yu said it lightly, yet the words contained deep certainty and confidence. âNow, you can tell me honestly, who exactly hurt you⦠and hurt her!â
