Chapter 1461: Stirring Up Bai Chenyao 2

Being pretentious?

She just wanted Bai Chenyao to remember that she is a person, not an object, with her own thoughts and opinions; not everything needs to be decided by him.

Pretentious then, so be it!

If Bai Chenyao turns around and leaves, she would be heartbroken and devastated, but... It’s not as if she hasn’t experienced that before. If it happens again... would she quickly adapt?

Mu Tiantian, wrapped up like a cocoon, carefully listens to the movements outside the blanket.

At first, she can still hear footsteps, coming closer, and it even feels like Bai Chenyao is standing beside the bed.

Mu Tiantian, with her awkward and stubborn emotions, silently wrapped in the blanket, feels not only her eyes aching but also her breathing becoming increasingly suffocating.

Yet, she still hasn’t heard Bai Chenyao leaving.

In this state... if Bai Chenyao sees her like this, in the future...

No way!

She can’t think about the future, thinking about the future means losing!

Mu Tiantian takes a deep breath, feeling the air thin and stifling, her entire cheeks flushed due to lack of oxygen.

Just hoping for Bai Chenyao to hurry and leave!

Hurry!

But, contrary to her wishes, she just does not hear the footsteps of Bai Chenyao leaving.

Nima!

Mu Tiantian, wrapped in the blanket, is almost suffocated by the thick blanket, even if she’s not suffocated, she might die from the heat.

Already unknowingly, her whole body started to sweat, and even her forehead had tiny sweat beads appearing, Mu Tiantian takes another deep breath.

She inhales, then exhales deeply, because it’s so uncomfortable. She has to slightly loosen the blanket to avoid really suffocating or getting overheated.

Just when Mu Tiantian can’t take it anymore, feeling dizzy, and her breathing growing thinner, Bai Chenyao’s low, concerned voice comes from outside the blanket.

"Isn’t it suffocating?"

Of course, it’s suffocating; she’s almost suffocating to death!

But if she comes out now, all her previous holding back would be in vain?

Mu Tiantian grits her teeth, steels her heart, and decides she absolutely must endure.

"Tian Tian..."

The feeble sound makes Mu Tiantian almost think it’s an illusion.

Ultimately, did Bai Chenyao call her or did he not?

That low, slightly wistful voice... how could it possibly come from Bai Chenyao?

Mu Tiantian laughs at herself; she must have been stifled too long and is starting to hallucinate.

"I am a soldier!"

This sound, low yet strong and forceful, exceptionally resolute.

Mu Tiantian hears it very clearly, yet she can’t help but be puzzled!

Why suddenly say I am a soldier, what does it mean?

Bai Chenyao was a soldier; she didn’t know before, even thought he was in underworld activities. Later she found out, felt it was unbelievable, but then it seemed expected.

Otherwise, how to explain the scene she saw when she first met Bai Chenyao, where he fired a gun?

Because he’s a soldier, everything has an explanation.

Thinking of this, Mu Tiantian suddenly understands a bit.

Bai Chenyao is trying to explain why he didn’t choose to divorce her, why he went to Qi Mountain and didn’t let Muse tell her, and why he waited until he came back without explaining anything to her.

Obedience is a soldier’s duty; more importantly, they uphold the secrecy required by the military.

When she was in university, there was a female classmate whose boyfriend was in the military; that classmate asked many things about the military, some her boyfriend told her, but some, no matter how she pouted, got angry, or ignored him, her boyfriend never revealed.

Later... it seems the two broke up because of this issue.
