These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

The two of them stood outside, watching as the kitchen gradually caught fire and smoke began to rise.

"Senior brother seems to know everything."

Bai Youwei heard Su Mi say this.

In her opinion, Wei Tu wasn't good at everything; at the very least, he couldn't learn to be kind.

Su Mi's view is simply the most normal state of mind for a girl in a romantic relationship: she feels that the person she likes is the best person in the world.

He has no flaws; even his flaws are part of his charm.

In fact, all of them are hateful.

Bai Youwei thought to herself, then said indifferently, "Being able to cook isn't something a man should boast about, is it?"

Su Mi thought for a moment, "It seems so, but I'm not very good at it, and it doesn't taste good. My senior brother has never said anything to me, and he's always said that as long as I know how, it's fine..."

"He really spoils you."

Bai Youwei was stunned. Although she was the one who said those words, how could she have blurted out her true feelings?!

Just polite talk!

Su Mi glanced at Bai Youwei, sensing something was off about the tone, and then said softly, "Senior Sister Bai, you..."

"Actually, everyone at the mountain gate thinks so, so you can just relax and enjoy yourself."

Bai Youwei was not calm, but she quickly said something that made the other party think it was just a normal statement of facts.

Su Mi nodded, without doubting that it was true.

"But I think it must be hard for him to keep everything to himself all the time."

Bai Youwei's heart skipped a beat.

It was hidden in my heart... Back then at the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, it seemed that I only had time to feel the calmness and composure of this young man, or perhaps his ruthlessness. I didn't seem to think about why he would have such qualities at his age.

And it's clear that Su Mi is the girl who is completely devoted to this boy. She not only enjoys the happiness he brings her, but also considers whether Wei Tu, who is taking such good care of her, will be tired.

Is this the difference...? Wait, why am I comparing myself to Su Mi again?

Does having the surname Bai really make you an idiot, Bai Youwei?

"Senior Sister Bai? Are you alright?"

Bai Youwei was stunned for a moment, "It's okay..."

"Your face looks really red, what's wrong?" Su Mi asked Bai Youwei, puzzled.

Bai Youwei was unaware that her emotions were truly revealed on her face because of this brief moment of distraction.

She paused for a moment, then immediately shook her head and said, "Maybe it was a bit hot in the kitchen just now..."

"Oh. Senior Sister Bai seems to have a lot on her mind."

Bai Youwei forced a smile, "Well, everyone has their worries. It's just that you don't have all your worries on your mind..."

"Senior Sister Bai, you're making fun of me again~"

The meal was held outside Su Mi's courtyard. It wasn't appropriate for three people to go into a girl's boudoir together, and Wei Tu didn't intend to go in either. Knowing Su Mi well, Wei Tu didn't need to add her room as a condition.

Besides, the weather is nice.

"Mmm~ It's delicious, what do you think, Senior Sister Bai?"

The girl, picking up a piece of fish, said with great enjoyment.

Bai Youwei ate her meal with a seemingly expressionless face, casually saying, "Not bad."

"It seems Senior Sister Bai has very picky tastes. This means Senior Brother, your cooking skills still need improvement!"

Su Mi looked for an opportunity to make fun of the boy.

Wei Tu replied with a smile, "Then I won't practice swordsmanship anymore, I'll just think about how to cook every day."

"Who said you shouldn't practice swordsmanship? You're blaming me now."

"I was just repeating what you said, is that so strange? Let Senior Sister Bai be the judge!"

"what?"

Bai Youwei never expected that she would be called out for eating quietly and expressionlessly.

Bai Youwei looked at the two of them innocently.

"Am I not suited to eat here?"

"Pfft... Sister Bai, you're so cute."

"Is there?"

Wei Tu scoffed at it.

Although she didn't like the word "cute," it didn't stop Bai Youwei from glaring fiercely at Wei Tu.

Lunch seemed to pass in this strange yet relaxed atmosphere.

Su Mi wanted to take Wei Tu to the lawn halfway up the mountain, where purple grass was in full bloom.

Although it wasn't the season for a sea of ​​purple flowers, the sun was shining brightly there.

Before leaving, he asked Bai Youwei if she wanted to come along, but Bai Youwei shook her head as a matter of course, saying that she had to go to cultivate.

The truth is, I just don't want to stay in situations where it's just the two of us anymore.

She certainly felt that the scene with these two people didn't need any more people, and that she belonged to any one of them.

Watching the two walk away chatting and laughing, Bai Youwei quietly straightened her clothes and went back to her room.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Youwei opened the closed window, and a slightly cool breeze blew in, as if only in this way could the girl become more awake.

Why should we stay awake? Because people who are not awake will dream and fantasize about unrealistic scenarios.

A woman as cold and aloof as the snow yet to fall in this winter stares blankly out the window. The drifting clouds cannot reflect the shape of her thoughts, nor do they resemble the scene at the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

Bai Youwei looked somewhat tired as she leaned against the windowsill behind the window.

With her face slightly turned to the side, her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

"Only a fool would treasure him; not everyone wants him..."

-

The hillside covered in purple irises did not bloom into a sea of ​​flowers because the height of summer had passed, and even late autumn was over; it should now be early winter.

Fortunately, the sunshine was still warm enough.

The light shone on the two young men sitting on the hillside.

Both the man and woman were very beautiful, far more attractive than the not-so-splendid sea of ​​flowers.

A cool breeze gently rustled the grass, and strands of hair swirled in the air.

"What did Senior Brother do to Senior Sister Bai?"

Wei Tu was originally looking at the sky with a peaceful mind, because he was spending less and less time gazing at the sky these days.

But to his surprise, the girl next to him launched a powerful attack right from the start.

The boy's heart skipped a beat.

This thing is so spiritual, it's as if it says everything, yet it also says nothing at all.

Wei Tu looked puzzled.

"what?"

Su Mi glared at Wei Tu, annoyed. "Still pretending!"

What did I pretend to be?

"What happened to you at the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain?"

Wei Tu nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course, if only the two of us are alive, something must have happened."

After returning to their sect, both of them were questioned by the elders. Since more than a dozen disciples had died, they naturally needed to explain what had happened. Their testimonies had already been prepared on the way back, and for the time being, there were no mistakes.

Su Mi, however, keenly observed the boy.

“You know that’s not what I’m talking about.”

Wei Tu shook his head.

"There's nothing else to it, at most just a clichéd story of life and death, but that's all we could do in that situation."

Su Mi sighed.

"I think I understand..."

"What have you figured out now?"

What I fear most is not the twists and turns of the story, but the woman's speculations and wild imagination.

Su Mi looked at the clouds and said as if talking to herself.

"There are some things my silly senior brother doesn't realize, but there are others who don't think the same way you do..."

Wei Tu also understood what the hidden meaning in Su Mi's words was.

He also turned to look at the clouds. Although some things didn't make sense, he believed that he and Su Mi were looking at the same cloud.

"Actually, it's all the same, it doesn't matter."

"Senior Sister Bai is a very pitiful person. She doesn't act coquettishly or weakly. She is always very strong and perseveres to the end. So sometimes when I see her practicing swordsmanship, I feel sorry for her."

Wei Tu nodded.

"Everyone in this world has some degree of foolishness, and everyone has it... It is precisely because of this foolishness that people are people, not demons or monsters."

Su Mi smiled and turned her head away, as if she was no longer interested in the previous topic.

"Then where is your senior brother stupid?"

Wei Tu smiled and turned around, looking at the girl's delicate face.

This still somewhat youthful face reminded Wei Tu of that night, with red candles lit and her in a fiery red wedding dress.

I gave up everything for you...
