Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Bai Yichen, the man who has been silently accompanying Xue Yao whenever he is free for some time, now feels as turbulent as the sea and cannot calm down.

He was the first to see Xueyao lead Chenyu and his group out of the secret garden. He knew that Xueyao and her group were about to face a more complicated and dangerous situation. Xueyao's determination and courage made him admire her and feel distressed.

"Miss Xue, you are so brave." Bai Yichen said softly, with unclear emotions in his eyes.

Xue Yao smiled at him and said, "This is what I have to do. Chenyu was seriously injured in the basement, and I can't let them be trapped there."

Bai Yichen nodded. He knew very well that no one could change every step Xue Yao took and every decision she made.

But the difficulties she faces are real. Not only does she need to deal with those who are lurking in the dark, but she must also remain vigilant at all times and guard against those who appear harmless on the surface but have ulterior motives.

And what could he do for her?

"Miss Xueyao, you must be extra careful when you go to the capital." Bai Yichen couldn't help but remind her, "The other party may use any means necessary."

"Don't worry!" Xue Yao turned her head to look at him, then continued to look forward.

She was always so confident, and Bai Yichen thought everything about her was good. He almost looked ahead, but his eyes never left Xue Yao.

After a moment's silence, he added, "I support every decision you make." He actually wanted to say that he wanted to always be by her side and protect her, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

Xue Yao looked at him with emotion and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bai."

Bai Yichen nodded, "Well, I believe you. But if you encounter any difficulties, be sure to tell me in time and I will do my best to help."

Xue Yao smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bai! You have helped us a lot."

"We are friends, this is what I should do." Bai Yichen said with a smile. He felt miserable when he said this.

"Mr. Bai, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Lin'er, who was standing next to him, saw that Bai Yichen was trying to find something to say to his mother along the way, and his expression kept changing. He couldn't help but ask in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

He had already noticed that Bai Yichen's eyes were always glued to his mother.

He must protect his own mother who is so good.

Bai Yichen came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Nothing."

Xiao Lin'er had noticed his abnormality a long time ago, so he didn't believe his nonsense. He raised his head and said, "Mom is the best person in the world." He thought to himself, no one in the world is worthy of Mom, so forget it.

Bai Yichen smiled bitterly and shook his head, not responding.

The group rushed towards the capital, and Bai Yichen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He thought of every detail of his acquaintance with Xueyao, and all she had done for him. A strong urge surged in his heart, he wanted to do something for her, to become her true support.

However, he also knew that Xueyao looked weak, but in fact she was strong inside, and she did not need anyone's pity or sympathy. If he helped her without reason, it would probably backfire.

Bai Yichen pinched his eyebrows and his eyes darkened.

With such coincidences happening time and time again, I’m afraid Xueyao must have become suspicious a long time ago!

Those deliberate alienation clearly treated him as just a mature person. Thinking of this, he shook his head, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.

Xue Yao didn't know Bai Yichen sensed her distance, but she didn't dare get too close to him. Just based on his face being 70% similar to that person, she couldn't resist. He was handsome, just like that person, really handsome.

It’s not that she can’t see what Bai Yichen is thinking, but at best, she and him can only be friends, nothing else.

If, if I hadn't met that person first...

Hey, what are you thinking about? Xueyao herself found it ridiculous and quickly forced herself back to her thoughts.

What are you pulling? This pull brings back the question Su Xin and Yun Duoduo had asked before.

"Yaoyao, that Mr. Bai, it seems..." Yun Duoduo said to Xueyao after rescuing Qin Wan'er in the underground palace, her big eyes still blinking. Before she finished speaking, she smiled so hard that her dimples appeared.

Xue Yao glanced at her and sighed softly, interrupting Yun Duoduo's speculation, "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Bai is just my friend."

Yun Duoduo pouted, seemingly dissatisfied with Xueyao's answer, but she knew Xueyao's temper, so she didn't ask any more questions. She thought to herself: The way Mr. Bai looked at Xueyao, could he be more than just a friend?

"Xueyao, Mr. Bai seems to be a little..." Su Xin also asked later.

"Don't guess randomly, it's impossible, they are just friends." Xue Yao also interrupted Su Xin.

In fact, she had no aversion to Bai Yichen. Under normal circumstances, no woman would be tempted by such an outstanding man!

But that person seemed to have preconceived notions. He was not him. What could she do? She could only put herself in an abnormal situation.

Bai Yichen's mind was in a tangled mess and he didn't know what to do.

The longer the time went on, the more his heart was out of his control.

I promised not to miss you anymore, but I still worry about you after we parted.

It was agreed that the relationship would fade away over time, but time played a huge joke on him and he didn't know when his heart was tied to her.

Or rather, I didn't know when I let her live in my heart.

He was aware that his feelings for Xueyao went far beyond the boundaries of friendship, but he also knew that Xueyao's heart was always looking for someone who could make her completely let down her guard and truly rely on her.

When Xueyao brought Master Chenyu out of the secret garden, he felt very uncomfortable.

Imagining the interactions and conversations between Xueyao and Master Chenyu in the Secret Garden, he felt an inexplicable unease. Although their time together in the Secret Garden was short, the tacit understanding and trust they shared was something he had never witnessed before.

This feeling made him jealous, but he knew he had no way to express it.

And he saw clearly the look in Master Chenyu's eyes when he said goodbye.

He is willing to sacrifice everything for Xueyao, even his life, but that requires Xueyao to give him a chance.

He thought to himself that maybe he should really do something, even if it was just to support her silently.

The capital, a place rife with intrigue and conflict, was sure to be turbulent for Xueyao on this trip. Bai Yichen's heart tightened, knowing he couldn't sit idly by. He secretly made a plan: no matter how difficult the road ahead, he would strive to stay by Xueyao's side and face everything with her.

He looked at Xue Yao beside him. She was staring intently ahead, her expression firm and calm. Bai Yichen felt a warmth in his heart; just having her there was enough. He smiled faintly, temporarily suppressing his worries, and began to think about his next plan of action.
