Chapter 2159

“Not bad.”

This girl really gave him quite a surprise. In just a few days without following her training, she managed to make such significant progress on her own.

Now, her speed, her strength, they have all improved so much compared to before!

Today, Wu Ming actually came back with some emotions.

Earlier, he heard from his subordinates that she risked her life to save Wen Yu on the street, and he was indeed very angry.

It’s not that he’s so cold and doesn’t care about Wen Yu’s life or death, but when did saving people become her responsibility?

If something unexpected happened… he couldn’t imagine it.

Tonight, he initially planned to teach Baili Xia a lesson, to stop her from recklessly rescuing people.

Unexpectedly, she now really has some capabilities, not comparable to the past.

“I’ll teach you a few techniques for grappling.”

… The spring night was still chilly.

But Baili Xia didn’t feel cold at all, with beads of sweat seeping out layer by layer on her body.

She was eager to become stronger quickly, so she would no longer be a burden to Uncle and the others.

Under the bright moonlight, two figures continued to practice relentlessly.

Practicing so intently that Baili Xia lost track of time.

After finishing another set of movements, Wu Ming stood to the side and stopped moving.

“Time to go back.”

Only then did Baili Xia take out her phone and take a look.

She instinctively covered her mouth; it was already eleven o’clock.

Being this late and not going home, if Uncle found out, he would definitely scold her to death.

And concerning Wen Yu… Oh God, time flies so quickly!

“Alright, I’ll head back first.” Baili Xia felt a bit anxious, glancing at Wu Ming.

“Tomorrow… will you accompany me to train again? Anyway, being idle is just being idle.”

Wu Ming gave her a faint glance, who said he’s idle?

Coming back late at night and immediately looking for her, knowing she went to the main house, he waited in the backyard, saw her go to the back mountain, and only then came over first.

Busy all day long with hardly any time to eat, yet this girl says such ungrateful words.

“Depends on my mood.” He turned around, no longer looking at her.

Baili Xia stuck her pink tongue out at his tall back, said no more, and hurriedly turned to return to Sihai Residence.

Only after she walked far did Wu Ming look back at her figure, unable to suppress a slight smile at the corners of his lips.

Tonight, she was indeed more “alive” than before.

Is her emotional knot gradually unraveling?

…

Baili Xia returned to Sihai Residence, and when she went back to her room, she made a point of checking.

Uncle hadn’t returned yet; the room lights were still off.

Thinking about it, this matter wasn’t urgent down to those few minutes.

She returned to her room, changed out of her soaked clothes, and then entered the bathroom.

After exercising, taking a refreshing hot shower could wash away all her exhaustion.

The sound of rushing water played a joyful melody, and Baili Xia unconsciously started to hum a song.

“I am like a fish in your lotus pond, just to be with you under the bright moonlight…”

The crisp singing matched perfectly with the sound of the flowing water.

After explaining things to Uncle, he agreed to give her a chance to prove the truth behind those matters.

Brother, he will support her as always and stand by her side.

Wu Ming is finally not angry with her anymore.

And Brother You, Guisu…

As long as everyone is doing well, there will eventually be a happy ending to things.

Even if… some things are destined to be lost, going through this life would still be worth it.

After finishing her shower, Baili Xia wrapped a towel around herself and walked out of the bathroom.

As she walked, she untied the towel from her body, wiping the droplets from her long hair.

Until she saw that figure…
