Looking at the scar on Wu Ming’s face, Baili Xia felt a bit lost again.

Perhaps, it’s really true that you think so much during the day, you see anyone and think it’s him…

Wu Ming wasn’t unaware of what she was thinking, but at times like these, if he didn’t argue, it would become his fault.

He could admit to other faults and dare to take responsibility, but between a man and a woman…

If he made this girl feel that he was deliberately taking advantage of her, he was afraid she wouldn’t want him to stay by her side anymore.

Ignoring the disappointment in her eyes, he straightened his expression, his hoarse voice lowered even further to show his displeasure.

“If you’re not sincere, then don’t deliberately entice me. I may be ugly, but even ugly men have self-esteem.”

Turning away, he curled his long leg and tried hard to show his dissatisfaction.

Of course, he also used this method to conceal his own unrest.

Just now, holding her, smelling her intoxicating fragrance, his body…

had already changed.

Letting her see, it would be awkward again.

Baili Xia felt uneasy from what he said.

She didn’t know what had happened just now, but it seemed she had indeed taken the initiative to hug him.

Especially seeing the scratch mark she left on his face, her heart felt even more guilty.

She never thought he looked ugly, but it was true that he was disfigured.

Perhaps… perhaps as he said, because of his disfigurement, women were unwilling to be with him.

So… he’d gone without a woman for so long, thinking she was throwing herself at him just now, couldn’t control himself…

Baili Xia felt her head pounding, what trouble had she caused!

“Sorry, I was a bit… neurotic just now, it won’t happen again.”

She turned and looked at the distant horizon, with a faint dullness in her eyes.

It turns out, she really missed Uncle so much, really hoped to see him.

Really missed him…

That gentle profile, under the sunlight, spread layers of faint sorrow.

Reflected in Wu Ming’s eyes, unspeakable fragility and loneliness.

He couldn’t help but stand up, somewhat wanting to go over and pull her into his arms.

Tell her, that he had always been by her side, always.

But, just as he took half a step, he took it back.

To not recklessly jeopardize the greater plan, staying here was already a mistake.

If they found out about his stay, it would complicate things further.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust her to keep the secret, but he fears once she knows, she might reveal it.

Girl, endure a bit longer, once everything ends, it will become clear.

They would be together.

Endure a bit longer, okay?

Walking over, the tenderness in his eyes had been concealed.

Staring at her delicate and gentle profile, he said hoarsely, “Let that guy get lost.”

Baili Xia was startled by his sudden voice, all her yearning scattered away.

“Get lost? Which guy?”

A bewildering sentence, leaving her a bit out of step with his thoughts.

“The guy in your room!” Wu Ming snorted, his face full of disdain.

“You let him stay there, where am I supposed to sleep?

Do you want me to stay up all night at Bei Fengjin’s place?

I’m tired!”

Baili Xia frowned: “He’s injured…”

“Is Bei Tianyou so poor he can’t even find a place for him to recuperate?” His brows knitted tighter.

“I can also ask Brother You to arrange a room for you.”

“Not willing.”

“…” Oh well, those by the side of the master are also masters.

Considering how his back looks so much like Uncle’s, she resigned herself!
