lu xian’s words of concern made bai wanxi’s heart warm. she couldn’t remember what had happened to her when she was alive, but she had a vague feeling that she had never been so cared for by an older female elder. a woman’s gentleness and concern were different from a man’s. lu xian’s gentle gaze made bai wanxi’s heart flutter uncontrollably, and she almost fell into lu xian’s gaze.
bai wanxi felt that lu xian was testing her. however, lu xian’s testing did not have any purpose. her words and actions were all out of concern for xu ye.
thinking that she had to lie to such a gentle lu xian, bai wanxi couldn’t bear it.
however, it was precisely because she couldn’t bear to do so that bai wanxi had to pretend to the end. otherwise, once lu xian found out the truth about the heart of time, she would be hurt.
“auntie, i’m really fine.” bai wanxi picked up her teacup and finished her tea. she smiled and said, ” little aunt, i’m even hungrier after drinking tea. let’s go down for breakfast? ”
lu xian nodded her head and left with bai wanxi.
when bai wanxi left the room, she didn’t forget to sneak a glance under the bed. after making sure that chi jiao didn’t move, she closed the door silently.
as chi jiao listened to the footsteps gradually fade away, she breathed a sigh of relief and climbed out from under the bed.
chi jiao climbed out with great effort. looking at her messy hair and wrinkled clothes, she couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
when would this end?
after chi jiao made sure that the sound of their footsteps had gradually faded away, she carefully pushed open the door and walked out. she went back to her room to change her clothes, pretended that nothing had happened, and went downstairs for breakfast.
today was saturday, and after today and the weekend, chi jiao and the others would have to face the mid-term exams of this semester.
fortunately, the final exam was the starting point, which gave bai wanxi an excuse to review her homework with chi jiao and avoid more questions from lu xian.
during breakfast, bai wanxi tried her best to deal with lu xian. after the meal, she used chi jiao as an excuse to go to the pavilion in the garden to study.
after making sure that lu xian had not noticed them, bai wanxi laid her head on the table and heaved a long sigh. ” “when will these days end?”
“sister wanxi, you’ve worked hard. after a while, you can use the excuse that you’re tired to go to sleep and see if you can get xu ye out.” chi jiao comforted bai wanxi.
bai wanxi’s face was filled with an unconcealable breakdown. she stared at chi jiao worriedly and said, ” “jiaojiao, i’ve noticed that i’ve been in control of my body for a longer period of time. is it because he has been in xu ye’s body for too long that he is being suppressed by me?”
chi jiao really wanted to comfort bai wanxi not to think too much, but the words were at the tip of her tongue, because chi jiao had the same feeling.
xu ye had been sleeping for a longer time than before, which was not a good sign.
chi jiao, who was sitting opposite bai wanxi, could not help but sigh after hearing this. ” “we can’t go on like this. the longer xu ye sleeps, the weaker his soul will be.”
as chi jiao spoke, she didn’t notice that behind the bushes not far away, lu xian was crouching and eavesdropping on their conversation.
when lu xian heard this, she revealed a puzzled expression.
what did jiaojiao mean? wasn’t xiao ye sitting right in front of her?
however, when lu xian looked at bai wanxi, she realized that this person’s actions were more like a woman’s. there was a hint of coquettishness in her actions, and lu xian’s heart sank.
however, lu xian did not speak. instead, she calmed her breathing and continued to eavesdrop.
