Chapter 83: My People Play However You Want 10_1

In the end, Baili Xia let Night Shadow carry her and they began walking toward the backyard step by step.

Night Shadow said that there was a sightseeing car in the backyard that could take them directly to the back mountain.

It was not that she was being delicate and wanting to be carried; she was genuinely too weary to walk anymore.

Her body ached all over, especially her legs, which hurt to the point that she could barely stand.

Besides, she was feeling weak and faint, so walking to the backyard on her own was genuinely difficult.

The sightseeing car was in the backyard.

After helping Baili Xia into the car, Night Shadow ran to the driver’s seat and got the car moving.

It had rained that night, so everywhere was damp, but at least the air was very fresh.

Especially toward the back mountain in the backyard, where the air was filled with the combined scent of green grass and rainwater, which was indescribably comforting.

Baili Xia started to relax, and she didn’t feel as miserable anymore.

Seeing the sorrow in her brows easing a bit, Night Shadow finally dared to speak words of comfort.

“Miss Xiaxia, you have just arrived at the Mu family, and there will likely be many things you are not yet accustomed to, but believe me, you will soon truly become part of the Mu family.”

Baili Xia didn’t speak, she just turned her head to look at him.

Night Shadow’s height was almost the same as Uncle’s, maybe a centimeter or two shorter, but he was still around 1.88m tall.

As Baili Xia sat next to him, their height difference became quite noticeable.

When she looked up, he had to lower his eyes to meet her gaze.

Seeing her quietly watching him, Night Shadow gave a slight smile.

“A very, very long time ago, when I first arrived, I was just like you, I found it hard to adapt.”

“Back then we were being trained under Mr.

Xiaojiu, and I was frequently bullied.”

“Why were they bullying you?” As an eighteen-year-old girl, Baili Xia’s curiosity began to pique when she wasn’t feeling sad.

“Because…” Night Shadow glanced at her, his face reddening slightly under the car’s overhead light, “I… had better skills than them and beat many of them on my first day.”

“But that doesn’t mean you should bully them just because you are stronger,” said Baili Xia, her lips pursed.

Night Shadow quickly explained, “No, Miss Xiaxia, it was part of the training program.

Mr.

Xiaojiu said that if we wanted to prove ourselves, we had to give it our all.”

Baili Xia didn’t speak, she only blinked at him, watching him.

He was obviously very talented when he first arrived, which would have caused many to be envious and jealous, so it was natural that he was targeted.

But, it is clear that Night Shadow is an optimist, so he’s living well now, isn’t he?

As long as she persists and remains strong, she can live well too.

“Night Shadow, are you happy now?” she suddenly asked.

Night Shadow was slightly taken aback then his lips curved upward, “I am happy.

Each day is very fulfilling.”

An emotion seeming to flash in his eyes, he added a few more sentences, “Compared to the past when I couldn’t even get enough to eat, life now feels like living in heaven.

Mr.

Xiaojiu treats us very well, and all the brothers are satisfied following him.”

“Uncle?” Baili Xia furrowed her eyebrows, “Why… Uncle?

Aren’t you supposed to follow my grandfather?”

“Big Brother and I were both brought up by Mr.

Xiaojiu.”

Night Shadow laughed, absolute respect evident in his eyes when he spoke of Mu Xiaojiu.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu said I was competent, so he let me stay by the old man’s side, but initially, I indeed came out from Mr.

Xiaojiu’s side.”

The sightseeing car slowly moved along the tree-lined path towards the back mountain.

Night Shadow didn’t notice that when Baili Xia saw the respect he had for Mu Xiaojiu, she had carefully moved closer to the car door.

So, it seems that Night Shadow…also belongs to Uncle…
