Chapter 2118

In the evening, Baili Xia took some time and still went to the back mountain.

Wu Ming didn’t appear, but she didn’t expect him to. She climbed the cliff on the back mountain twice back and forth.

Despite the constant events during this time, whenever she had the chance, she would come to the back mountain to train herself.

A climb back and forth like that, in the past, was something she absolutely couldn’t do.

Even just one round trip would take a long time.

But now, she can do it easily.

Her physical endurance has really improved, as evident when she donated blood to Uncle.

After giving blood, she merely slept for a night and her body functions basically recovered.

She doesn’t know whether it’s her training that worked, or the medicine Mr Bei Fengjin gave her was potent.

Or maybe, it’s both.

In any case, the Baili Xia now is incomparable to the person she was a year ago.

Two back and forths, less than two hours, and she finished it in one breath. When she returned, Baili Xia was just slightly out of breath, but her face was more radiant.

Returning from the back mountain, she went back to her room where Mu Xiaojiu was still present.

Seeing her return, a complicated look flashed in Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes.

This girl still can’t forget revenge, using such a rigorous method to train herself.

Although for Baili Xia, this is indeed a good thing.

Even if it’s not for revenge, she can protect herself in the future.

But, seeing her torment herself like this, anyone would feel distressed.

Lying on Baili Xia’s bed, Mu Xiaojiu watched her with a calm expression.

“Went training?”

“Mm.”

Baili Xia responded casually, walking over to the wardrobe to pick out pajamas.

After training, she was covered in fragrant sweat, and had to take a shower.

But looking at the pile of pajamas in the wardrobe, she hesitated to wear them.

The comfortable pajamas are mostly too thin, and wearing them would be somewhat revealing.

“Uncle, when are you going back to your room to sleep?” She suddenly asked.

She clearly felt the atmosphere around the bed suddenly turn cold. She turned around and looked at Mu Xiaojiu.

“I don’t mean anything by it, it’s just… it just feels… your room is better than here, you should go back…”

“I’m your man, do I still have to be driven away by you?”

“No, if you want to stay here, then stay.”

She dared not say anything more, picking up a thick pajama, and turned into the bathroom.

Best not to provoke Uncle’s stubbornness.

If he gets angry, she suffers, but it’s also not good for his health.

Mu Xiaojiu watched her fleeing back, his eyes deep.

Girl, you promised me, so you must stick to it.

Since you said it, don’t leave again.

The sound of water rushing through the not-so-tight bathroom door could be heard.

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze stayed on the door without moving.

In his mind, a seductive scene suddenly emerged, and he unconsciously swallowed.

Even though his thoughts outside the door had wandered off, inside the bathroom, Baili Xia was struggling with how to face Uncle when she comes out.

Last night, leaning on the head of the bed through the night was done.

But tonight, with Uncle here, she had to find particularly thick pajamas, fearing it would provoke his lust, making both of them embarrassed.

Master said, never… do intense movements.

She believes, Uncle won’t go too far.

But what about Brother? What does this relationship count as now?

Brother sees everything very lightly, letting everything go with her, but they have made promises to each other.

Uncle’s previous care and affection for her are vivid in her memory.

Ignoring Uncle is something she absolutely can’t do.

But, continuing like this, would it be letting Brother down?
