Baili Yu lifted Tang Doudou up from the ground, then smiled devilishly. âLift your head first?â
âHuh?â Tang Doudou had wrapped herself around Baili Yuâs neck. Upon hearing this, she reflexively lifted her head. When she saw that it was still that vulgar uncle in front of her, her expression turned baffled.
âY-y-youâ¦â
âSilly girl, I already told you earlier.â Baili Yu pinched Tang Doudouâs nose. âHow could I be at ease leaving you by yourself when youâre so dumb?â
Tang Doudou came back to her senses and hugged Baili Yu tightly. âIf you canât be at ease, then never leave me alone!â
âAlright.â
âHow did you become like this?â Oh my god, she really was dumb! Pei! No, it was definitely because she wasnât feeling well and that was what caused her brain to be slow. There was no way she would admit that she was dumb.
Baili Yu carried her towards the carriage. âAfter we left the forest, I put on the human skin mask, then bought two simple outfits in the village at the foot of the mountain. Following that, I rushed through the night to the nearby Clear Creek Garrison and rented a carriage.â
âNo one discovered you?â Although he had put it lightly, Tang Doudou knew that Hibiscus Valley was filled with spies so there was no way that it had been easy to escape.
When her thoughts reached this point, she began to blame herself again. If she had been awake, she wouldâve been able to help Baili Yu with her qinggong. However, not only had she not been able to help him, she ended up being a burden for him since she had fallen unconscious.
âWhy didnât you wake me up?â
Baili Yu chuckled. âWhy would I wake you up? The fact that you were unconscious spared me a lot of trouble.â
He was clearly showing annoyance towards her for being a burden!
Although she had just been annoyed with herself for being a burden, when she heard this, she immediately glowered at him. âYouâre annoyed with me!?â
Baili Yu hiccuped. He really didnât mean that, but he couldnât help but smile when he saw how puffed up Tang Doudou was. âThatâs right, Iâm annoyed with you.â
Tang Doudouâs eyes widened even more. He, he actually admitted it!
âIâm annoyed with the fact that you canât turn tiny so that I can keep you in my pocket and bring you with me everywhere. That way you wouldnât be able to run around randomly and get lost.
âIâm annoyed with you for not always staying by my side, annoyed with you for making me feel as if I can never love you enough, annoyed with you⦠I really am very annoyed with you.â
His voice was like a delicately brewed wine, just the sound of it was enough to intoxicate.
But the deep emotion contained within his voice truly made it so that Tang Doudou was completely captivated. As she listened to the words âannoyed with you,â it felt as if she was hearing âI love you.â In her dazed enchantment, she didnât even notice it when they got back to the carriage.
