Touya Yaoyao

When Bai Taoshi went to find Yu Yaoyao, Yu Yaoyao was taking a bath. At this moment, she looked extremely tired, with her eyebrows and eyes half-closed in a lazy manner, looking very sleepy.

She wasn't stupid; she could naturally see that Shiro Momoya was targeting Abilie, and she could also see that Abilie was innocent. But knowing was one thing, accepting it was another.

She's not a rational robot that accepts everything and never gets angry no matter what happens. Even a god probably couldn't do that, let alone her!

But what can be done?! Since Bai Taoshi knows Ye Xiaoqian and the others, he must be of high status, perhaps even higher than them.

Compared to Shirai Momoya, she was merely an adopted daughter of the Ye family, powerless and without protection.

Not to mention that since ancient times, the common people have never fought against officials. Does she really think she can fight against Shirato Shirai?! Don't be ridiculous!

In fact, sometimes Yu Yaoyao couldn't help but think that if she were in a higher position, neither Bai Taoshi nor Ye Qishi would dare to treat her so poorly or even bully her!

Unfortunately, she wasn't like that. She had no power or status! No family background! She had nothing! She was like a fish on a chopping block, at the mercy of others.

These days without any choices are so painful! If only she could have rights too? At least she wouldn't have to live in constant fear of getting into trouble.

Frustrated, Yu Yaoyao washed her face and stared blankly at the hotel ceiling. Her brain seemed to have adapted to her daydreaming, so everything seemed unusually quiet.

Yu Yaoyao had privately come up with a tip: whenever she felt she needed peace and quiet, something would always appear that would prevent her from finding peace. Just like now, there was a timely knock on the door.

Yu Yaoyao was interrupted from her reverie and got out of the bathtub with some annoyance. She put on her bathrobe and went to open the door. Her expression was listless the whole way, but she put on her signature smile when she opened the door.

The person knocking on the door was Bai Taoshi, who was carrying a paper bag with a faint fragrance wafting from it. Yu Yaoyao opened the door and saw it was him. She instinctively wanted to close the door, but Bai Taoshi, who was quick-witted and agile, grabbed the door panel first.

Yu Yaoyao glared at Bai Taoshi with annoyance, her voice unfriendly and her expression conveying a disdain she couldn't even pretend to have.

"open"

Despite being warned, Shiro Touya wasn't annoyed. Instead, he smiled and adjusted the paper bag, speaking in a somewhat ingratiating manner:

I brought you something delicious.

Yu Yaoyao ignored his attempt to curry favor and instead went straight to close the door. Bai Taoshi had anticipated her actions, so he disregarded Yu Yaoyao's attempts to stop him and forcefully pushed the door open.

No one knew what he had eaten, but his strength was astonishing. Even though Yu Yaoyao wanted to stop him from coming in, she couldn't keep him completely locked out. She was even angered by his provocative and smug look.

Enraged, Yu Yaoyao decided not to stay in the room. She subconsciously prepared to go out, but before she could move, Bai Taoshi grabbed her waist and pulled her back into his arms.

At this moment, Yu Yaoyao was leaning against Bai Taoshi's chest, her waist tightly wrapped around his right arm. Bai Taoshi subconsciously lowered his head, turning his face towards Yu Yaoyao's right ear, and complained with some grievance and sorrow:

"Are you that angry?! Even my apology won't stop you!"

Yu Yaoyao ignored him and started to pry open Bai Taoshi's hands that were wrapped around her waist.

Seeing her like this, Bai Taoshi simply hung the paper bag on the doorknob and closed the door with his foot. Then he hugged Yu Yaoyao tightly and comforted her.

"Yaoyao, don't be angry. I just don't want to see you being carried by another man. Can't you forgive me?"

Yu Yaoyao didn't speak, and continued to count on her fingers. Bai Taoshi simply took both of her hands in his, then rubbed his face against her ear and said coquettishly:

"Don't be angry anymore, okay? For the sake of the delicious food I bought you."

His response was still Yu Yaoyao's silence. Yu Yaoyao was too lazy to pay attention to him now. She just wanted to break free from his grip and leave, but the other party was too strong, and she couldn't even hope to shake him off.

Left with no other option, Yu Yaoyao could only speak in a harsh tone:

"Let me go!"

When Shiro Momoya heard her speak, his expression brightened, and with a touch of spoiled arrogance, he refused without any politeness:

"No, I'll just keep bothering you."

Upon hearing his words, Yu Yaoyao began to try to pull her hand away from Bai Taoshi's grasp, but Bai Taoshi held her hand very tightly, and even if she wanted to shake it off, she was helpless.

Yu Yaoyao was so angry by these repeated actions that she felt wronged. When she felt wronged, she couldn't help but cry, and then her low sobs echoed in Bai Taoshi's arms.

Upon hearing the sobbing, Bai Taoshi quickly released his hand and walked up to Yu Yaoyao. Seeing her tearful and aggrieved expression, he instinctively reached out his hand.

At this moment, Yu Yaoyao's eyes, which were like bright pearls, were moist, and there were tiny dewdrops on her eyelashes. Her face, which was usually full of smiles, now had a wronged expression. Combined with the scene of her silently shedding tears, Bai Taoshi's heart couldn't help but clench.

Bai Taoshi carefully reached out to wipe away her tears, but Yu Yaoyao turned her head away to prevent him from touching her. Seeing Yu Yaoyao's resistant expression, Bai Taoshi simply reached out and pinched her chin, forcibly wiping away her tears with his hand.

Bai Taoshi frowned, looking at Yu Yaoyao's sad expression with a mixture of pity and heartache. Yu Yaoyao wanted to break free from his grip, but he didn't seem to want to.

Seemingly at a loss for what to do at this moment, Bai Taoyi couldn't help but lean closer to Yu Yaoyao and coax her in a low voice:

"Yaoyao, don't cry, I was wrong, okay?! I promise I won't make you angry again, okay? Please don't cry."

Yu Yaoyao was too lazy to pay attention to him. Even though she wanted to turn her head, her jaw was controlled by Bai Taoshi, and she was powerless to do anything about it. She could only let her tears fall one by one, like beads falling from a broken string.

Bai Taoshi never imagined that Yu Yaoyao would be made to cry by him one day, just as he never imagined that one day he would see Yu Yaoyao crying in front of him.

For a moment, he had the illusion that he had done something wrong, and his heart was filled with regret.

Why would he switch with Liu Ying if he had nothing better to do?! If he hadn't switched with Liu Ying, he would still be in a group with Yao Yao, and today he could have carried Yao Yao to victory instead of letting the little girl he cherishes cry her eyes out.

Besides, what does it have to do with him if Liu Ying offends someone? Why was he so kind as to help Liu Ying? Now look what's happened, Yao Yao is crying, and he doesn't know how to comfort her.

I didn't mean to make her cry, but she's crying anyway. This is such a headache! What should I do?! Before, if I made her angry, treating her to something nice would usually work, but now, that doesn't seem to be doing that anymore!

Oh right, he remembered that when his father made his mother cry, his father would always hold her in his arms and comfort her. Maybe he should try that too?

Thinking this, Bai Taoshi simply released his hand that was controlling Yu Yaoyao's chin and carefully prepared to pull her into his arms.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Yu Yaoyao's fighting power, so much so that before he could even pull her into his arms, Yu Yaoyao pushed him away.

Bai Taoshi, who was pushed away by Yu Yaoyao, recalled that his parents seemed to have experienced similar scenes. Whenever this happened, his father would forcefully hold his mother in his arms and coax her carefully, with an increasingly gentle expression and an exceptionally affectionate tone.

So, he followed suit, reaching out without a word to pull Yu Yaoyao, who had almost pushed him away, into a tight embrace, gently coaxing her:

"Yaoyao, please don't cry anymore, okay? I promise I won't make you angry anymore. Whatever you say, I'll do it, okay..."

He said a lot of things, all rambling promises. Yu Yaoyao was trapped in his arms and couldn't struggle; she even felt a little suffocated.

Sometimes, people are really prone to breakdowns, especially at times like this. You're already mentally exhausted and unlucky enough, but when you encounter Shiro Touya, it's not just mental exhaustion, it's a heart attack.

There was nowhere to hide or escape, and no way to break free from her restraints. She felt utterly powerless in the face of Shirato Shirai.

What does he want? Can't he just let her have some peace and quiet for a while? Does he have to be so hostile towards her? What did she do to offend him that he treats her like this?
