Chapter 1517

After a whirlwind of eating, all the food Baili Xia brought was entirely devoured by Wu Ming.

Spotless, without any leftover.

This guy…

sure can eat.

Seeing the grease left on his lips, Baili Xia took out a tissue from her pocket.

Instinctively, she reached out to wipe the grease off for him.

Just as the tissue was about to touch the corner of his lips, Baili Xia stopped, tilting her head, a bit puzzled.

Why was she subconsciously treating him like her Uncle?

It was inexplicable, she didn’t even know what her mind was thinking.

Wu Ming, on the other hand, seemed to have gotten used to her serving him, seeing her about to wipe his mouth, he didn’t dodge at all.

He even leaned his face forward, waiting for her service.

Until Baili Xia’s fingers stopped, their eyes met, and suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward.

Baili Xia froze for two seconds, finally remembering he was Wu Ming.

Her heart trembled, and she immediately shoved the tissue into his palm, turning her face away, “Quick, wipe off the grease from your lips, it’s filthy.”

Wu Ming looked at the tissue in his hand, just hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and haphazardly wiped the corner of his lips.

Afterward, he handed the used tissue back to her.

Baili Xia really wanted to smack it down on his forehead.

Did he really take her for a maid!

But, she still took the tissue back and, along with the bag that carried the food earlier, went to a nearby trash can to throw it away.

On her way back, she couldn’t help but ask about Wu Ming’s oddly familiar figure, “Where did you sleep last night?”

“What do you think?” Wu Ming was still a little sullen, his attitude quite harsh.

“You… you didn’t just find any place outside… sleeping in the open… did you?”

If that’s true, he truly has a reason to be angry.

After all, making someone sleep outdoors in such winter weather, it’s hard not to be accusatory.

Thinking about it, suddenly she felt really sorry for him, it was all her fault…

“Ridiculous!” Wu Ming glanced at her, this girl, did she think he was a fool?

Sleeping outside in ice and snow, does he look like a masochist?

“Why are you scolding?” Baili Xia was baffled by his scolding, “If you didn’t sleep outside, then where…”

“Playing chess at Jin Ye Pavilion.”

“Stayed up the whole night playing?”

“Hmph!” Was he expected to actively plead with Bei Fengjin to take him in?

Probably Baili Xia knew she was in the wrong, if she hadn’t completely forgotten about his existence, he wouldn’t have needed to run to Bei Fengjin.

“Actually… if he was willing to play chess with me, I’d be willing to accompany him all night, uh… haha, I mean… nothing.”

Under Wu Ming’s increasingly cold gaze, the woman lowered her head and voluntarily shut up.

This gaze was really terrifying, exactly like Uncle’s gaze.

But speaking of which, why does Wu Ming feel a bit different today?

He…

“Where’s your human skin mask?” Baili Xia was startled, suddenly looking at his face.

Today, he actually showed his true face!

But because that face was obviously disfigured, whether he wore a mask or not didn’t really make a difference.

However, this face…

knowing it’s Wu Ming, yet compared to the previous terrifying face…

why does it seem so much more pleasing?

Baili Xia felt a bit dizzy, Wu Ming’s face…

more mysteriously, how could she know every time she saw him that it was Wu Ming?

For someone who often wore a mask, it would be too easy for others to impersonate him.
