Early morning the next day, Gu Xun came to knock on the door while Tang Doudou was still sound asleep.
Baili Yu got up and glanced at Tang Doudou who was still snuggling into the blankets. His lips hooked in a soft smile and he leaned over to kiss her before reluctantly getting up to open the door.
âBaili gongzi, I hope I havenât disturb your rest?â Gu Xun was smiling politely.
âYou didnât disturb us, but sheâs still asleep. If thereâs no rush, please wait until she wakes up.â Baili Yu stood at the door without allowing Gu Xun to enter while speaking softly in order to avoid waking Tang Doudou up.
For some reason, he got the feeling that Tang Doudou was very tired. It was as if she hadnât slept this well for a very long time, so he wanted to let her sleep her fill.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Xunâs smile stiffen. If he waited until Tang Doudou woke up, how long would he have to wait?
He still needed to arrange for people to send them away. Since Tang Doudouâs identity had been revealed, quite a lot of people were already secretly rushing here. If they didnât hurry, they probably wouldnât be able to leave.
Gu Xun was just about to say this when Baili Yu said, âBoss Gu, she told me yesterday that she would agree to your request. I hope you can hurry and arrange for our departure.â
Gu Xunâs face lit up with joy. He hadnât been able to sleep at all last night due to anxiousness over this reply. Now that he finally got the reply he had been longing for, he couldnât quite believe it. âDid Alliance Head Li really say that?â
âEn, thatâs what she told me. If thereâs nothing elseâ¦â
Gu Xun hastily replied, âThereâs nothing else⦠Baili gongzi, have a nice rest. Iâll go prepare things for your departure right away. You guys have to leave by tonight at the latest. When Alliance Head Li wakes up, please pass this message onto her.â
Baili Yu nodded, then closed the door.
Gu Xun hadnât expected for Baili Yu to react so straightforwardly without even bothering to say a polite goodbye. It was like he was extremely worried that just one additional word would end up waking Tang Doudou up. As Gu Xun turned away, his eyes filled with irrepressible excitement. He was about to become the martial arts alliance head!
When Baili Yu returned to the room, he saw that Tang Doudou was already sitting up on the bed. âDid I wake you?â
Although he had tried to be quiet, he still ended up waking her. He couldnât help but feel guilty. Sitting down on the side of the bed, he said, âBoss Gu said that we had to leave by tonight at the very latest. You should sleep for a while longer. Iâll keep you company.â
Tang Doudou stretched, then leaned her head against Baili Yuâs chest. âI woke up when you got up. I probably wonât be able to fall asleep for a while.â
âThen letâs go walk around.â Baili Yu carried her off the bed and placed her on the seat in front of the dressing table.
âI donât want to move.â Tang Doudou clung onto him and refused to let go.
Baili Yu picked up a comb and shifted her around as he said with a pampering laugh, âIf you donât want to move, donât move. Iâll move for you.â
Uh, why did this sound a little weird?
Tang Doudouâs face flushed red. She closed her eyes and allowed Baili Yu to fix her hair. In reality, she felt like Baili Yu was pretty good like this. He was gentle and considerate, and even allowed her to bully him. If he really stayed like this, it wouldnât be bad.
Then she considered not going back to the Heng Xuan Chamber of Commerce. She could just bring Baili Yu to a remote place and live in seclusion, away from the turmoils of the Jianghu.
Howeverâ Tang Doudou sighed. How could she leave before Baili Yuâs Hoarfrost Poison has been cured?
âWhy are you sighing?â
Tang Doudou opened her eyes and looked at the hairstyle that Baili Yu had combed for her. It was a perfect match for her face and brought out her delicate and simple beauty. She smiled happily. âBig evil spirit, youâre getting better and better at this!â
Despite the fact that she had already been here for a year, a ponytail was still the only hairstyle she could do.
Baili Yu rummaged through the drawer and finally decided on a white jade hairpin. He helped her put it on. âIf you like it, I can do your hair for you everyday.â
âHaha, youâd better remember that you were the one that offered!â Tang Doudou kissed Baili Yuâs cheek, then wrapped her arms around his neck. âBaili Yu ah, Baili Yu, how can you be so cute!â
Baili Yu chuckled. âCute is for describing ladies.â
âSays who? Nowadays, itâs the boys that are the cutest! The ladies canât even compare!â Tang Doudou refuted.
Baili Yu didnât understand where she got these ideas from, but he wasnât the type to bicker. He just put Tang Doudou down, then walked with her out of the room while holding her hand.
