Forced love, an inescapable fate

Wait, Mr. Bai, who is the Mr. Bai she is talking about? Jiang Ci felt something was wrong in his heart.

The hug was short, and after a moment, Mu Qingli let go of Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci raised his head slightly and looked at Mu Qingli. He hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Sister, who is Mr. Bai?"

Mu Qingli smiled and patted his head. "It was Mr. Bai Yu who saved you and Wan Yue last night. Mr. Bai said you were very brave. If it weren't for you, Wan Yue might have been taken away by those bad guys. But brother, when you encounter such a huge disparity in strength in the future, you should always prioritize your own safety. You don't know that when you were sent back last night, you were covered in blood. I was almost scared to death."

Now Jiang Ci probably knew that Wan Yue had found some excuse to hide what happened last night from Mu Qingli, but Bai Yu somehow got himself involved.

Just then, there was a slight noise outside the door. Mu Qingli turned around and saw Wanyue walking in with a bowl of porridge.

"Miss, the porridge is ready." Wan Yue said with a smile, putting the porridge on the table, "Young Master, drink it while it's hot."

Mu Qingli helped him sit up, let him lean against the head of the bed, then picked up the spoon, blew on it gently, and fed it to his mouth.

Jiang Ci felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't open his mouth. He had never been fed like this since Nanny Li and Lu Zhu left.

Mu Qingli looked at him with a smile in her eyes, knowing that he was embarrassed.

"You have a wound on your arm, be obedient, you still have to take medicine after eating, and when you are well, you ask me to feed you, but I won't."

Hearing Mu Qingli's teasing, Jiang Ci's ears turned red again.

Wan Yue stood aside and saw Jiang Ci being as obedient as a puppy in front of Mu Qingli. She felt for a moment that the young master who was decisive and murderous last night was not the same person in front of her. The sense of separation was too strong.

When she realized that she had imagined Jiang Ci as a puppy, she couldn't help but laugh softly. This sudden laugh broke the warm atmosphere between Mu Qingli and Jiang Ci, and they both turned around to look at her.

Receiving Jiang Ci's obviously cold gaze, Wan Yue felt a chill on her neck.

She smiled awkwardly. "I just think the relationship between you two is really great. It's really enviable. Oh, and Mr. Bai said he wanted to come in and see how the young master's injury is recovering. I'll go get him right away."

Wanyue really couldn't withstand the pressure of Jiang Ci's eyes that clearly wanted to stab someone, so she had to ask Baiyu to come to the rescue.

Seeing Wanyue running away, Mu Qingli was still confused.

"Wanyue looks a little strange today. Never mind her. Let's just drink the porridge first."

Looking at the spoon that Mu Qingli handed over with anticipation, Jiang Ci finally opened his mouth and ate.

I have to say, today's porridge tastes very good.

Only when the bowl of porridge was empty did Mu Qingli put down the bowl with satisfaction.

"That's right. Eating more will help your body get better faster."

As soon as Mu Qingli finished speaking, Bai Yu walked in.

He really didn't want to face the knife-like gaze of his master, but he was no match for Wan Yue's punches and kicks as well as various threats. In the end, he could only force a bitter smile to act out this scene.

Now, every time he took a step forward, he felt like he was stepping on his heart, and it hurt.

When Mu Qingli saw Bai Yu come in, she immediately stood up and enthusiastically introduced him to Jiang Ci.

"Brother, this is the Mr. Bai Yu I told you about. It was him who saved you and Wan Yue last night. If he hadn't fought off those bad guys who wanted to sell Wan Yue to a brothel, I can't imagine what would have happened. By the way, you have to call Mr. Bai Yu "Master" from now on. You were injured last night, and I thought it would be better for you to learn some self-defense skills. I originally wanted to find a martial arts school in town, but I'm not sure if there is one. Fortunately, Mr. Bai Yu is so righteous. He agreed to teach you some self-defense skills in person last night, so that you won't be so passive when you encounter danger in the future. Mr. Bai Yu is a man of the world. He is handsome, his kung fu is pretty good, and his heart is even better. He agreed to teach you and doesn't charge tuition. How can there be such a good person as Mr. Bai Yu in this world?"

Although all the words Mu Qingli said were compliments, Bai Yu felt his heart chilled with every word she said. He wanted to go forward and cover Mu Qingli's mouth. If she continued, someone might die. Especially the half-smile in his young master's eyes at this moment made him feel that he was not far from death.

Jiang Ci looked at Bai Yu, whose body was bent straight, with a half-smile, and asked meaningfully, "Oh, Master?"

When Bai Yu heard the word "Master", he almost collapsed.

He now regrets so much for listening to Wanyue's words last night. Isn't this pushing himself into the fire?

Mu Qingli didn't notice the atmosphere between the two and continued speaking.

"Brother, from now on, you should learn Kung Fu from Master Bai. When you have mastered Kung Fu, you can also protect me and Wanyue. Then, things like last night will not happen again. I feel sorry for Mr. Bai. There is really no other room in the yard where people can live. In the end, I have no choice but to let Mr. Bai live in the woodshed temporarily. I originally wanted Mr. Bai to be with you..."

Before Mu Qingli could finish her words, Bai Yu shook his head like a rattle, interrupting her next words.

"Miss Mu, you are too polite. I am not wronged, not at all. People in the martial arts world are not particular about trivial matters when they go out. Young master, you don't have to call me Master in the future. Just call me Bai Yu. By the way, Miss Mu, you two can chat first. I'll go see if the medicine is ready."

After saying that, he walked out of the room as fast as the wind.

Only after leaving the room did Bai Yu wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

What a joke! How dare he let his master call him Master? Is he tired of living?

Wanyue stood aside with a smile on her face, watching him wiping his sweat in a rather embarrassed manner, with a look of gloating on her face.

Now, the two of them are even. It was this guy who tricked her into acting out the scene of fainting from hunger a few days ago, causing her to lose face in front of her master.

After Bai Yu left, Mu Qingli's face became even more confused, and he even felt a little self-doubting.

"What's wrong with everyone? Why are they all so weird? Brother, am I scary? I don't think I said anything."

Hearing this, Jiang Ci could only smile helplessly. He understood why Bai Yu appeared here now, and he also knew that they were worried about him. Seeing that Mu Qingli didn't find any flaws, he naturally wouldn't pursue Bai Yu and Wan Yue.

Mu Qingli was still chattering away. Jiang Ci looked up at her and felt his heart filled at that moment.

So this is what it feels like to be cared for and loved by others?

It has been a long time since he felt this way, and he was almost forgetting it.
