Chapter 1879: Capítulo 1879: Chapter 1882

“The usage and effects are written on the bottle, you can take a look,” Bei Fengjin added.

Wu Ming couldn’t help but marvel at how influential this girl was. On their first meeting, Bei Fengjin gave her two bottles of extremely valuable medicine.

Baili Xia hurriedly waved her hand, “No, Uncle Fengjin, how can I accept your medicine again?”

Bei Fengjin pushed the medicine bottles in front of her and withdrew his hand.

“It’s just a meeting gift. If you don’t accept it, don’t come next time.”

That look on his face, surprisingly serious.

These reclusive masters, their tempers seem increasingly… well, let’s just say they’re characters.

Baili Xia tugged at her lips, embarrassed, “The problem is this gift is too precious, and I didn’t bring anything in return.”

“Do you think I gave it because I wanted something from you?”

“Alright then, I’ll accept it. Thank you, Uncle Fengjin.” It wouldn’t do not to accept, as she still wanted to visit here.

For some reason, she liked this “Uncle” an awful lot.

Maybe, it’s because Bei Fengjin is really handsome.

Bei Fengjin nodded and then turned his attention to Wu Ming.

“It’s been a long time since anyone has played chess with me. You’re just in time. Accompany me for a few games.”

“Bring it on.”

The two played an intense game, but Baili Xia couldn’t understand it at all and found herself terribly bored beside them.

In the end, she fell deeply asleep on the table.

By the time Wu Ming and Bei Fengjin finished the game, it was already late into the night.

He glanced down at Baili Xia, who was still soundly sleeping on the table, lips curling slightly.

He stood up and gently carried Baili Xia into his arms.

“Is she very important to you?”

Watching his careful movements, Bei Fengjin couldn’t help but ask.

Wu Ming looked back at him but didn’t respond, turning to leave instead.

Even though he remained silent, Bei Fengjin could sense the affection in his eyes for the girl, reminiscent of his younger days.

But he didn’t understand why Wu Ming chose to face the girl in such a manner.

He helped Wu Ming open the door and saw them out of the courtyard before returning to the Alchemy Room.

Wu Ming carried Baili Xia back to the Bi Luo Pavilion, and even as he gently laid her on the bed, she didn’t wake up.

Watching the girl sleeping peacefully, her long eyelashes, beautiful and enchanting, he couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss her eyes.

“Mmm…” Baili Xia felt something unusual on her eyes, stirring slightly.

She slowly opened her eyes to find Wu Ming’s expressionless face suddenly before her, waking her up with a start.

She hurriedly sat up, her eyes flashing with a hint of panic.

“What are you doing?”

Wu Ming straightened up, walked to the door, and looked back at her.

“Nothing, just bringing you back.”

With that, he left, locking the door behind him.

Baili Xia was a little dazed. Just now, Wu Ming… seemed to have kissed her eyes?

Could it be a misunderstanding…

Yet looking at Wu Ming, he didn’t seem the least bit sheepish or embarrassed.

Baili Xia let out a breath; perhaps it really was a misunderstanding.

Lately, her mind was in a mess, everything was chaotic, even hallucinations seemed to be emerging.

With that, Baili Xia suddenly lost the urge to sleep.

She climbed out of bed and grabbed a robe before heading into the bathroom.

After a while, cleaned up, Baili Xia came out wearing a robe.

Suddenly, she sensed something off in the room’s atmosphere.

She turned sharply to the sofa, where a familiar figure sat, staring at her in a daze.

“Guisu…” she couldn’t help but call out, but then instantly realized, hurriedly covering her mouth with her hand.
