Chapter 286: Caretaking

After leaving Fu Xuefeng and Kang Lan in the living room, Bai Ze went up the stairs to the main corridor of the villa.

Along the way, Bai Ze met several maids, they glanced at him, then at Shangguan Bingxue, bowed slightly, and continued to work without asking too much. On the way, I also met Fu Yuyan.

Fu Xuefeng's sister naturally noticed that the silver-haired beauty of her age was unwell. After all, Shangguan Bingxue's face was flushed, and his whole body was soaked with sweat. However, although Fu Yuyan was curious, she didn't ask much, because she was sure that this young man, who was almost always wearing black armor, would not do anything bad to the unconscious woman no matter what.

As for the reason...... Bai Ze hadn't even touched a single hair of her before, and he could be said to be very decent.

No matter what others think, Bai Ze firmly believes that as long as he is worthy of his conscience, it is enough.

Bai Ze walked up the stairs, and when he reached the corridor on the second floor, he didn't stop, and walked directly through the corridor, and soon arrived at the top floor of the luxury villa.

The thumping of boots and the heavy breathing of the woman in his arms were the only sounds he could hear at this time.

Finally, after several tosses, Bai Ze stopped next to a mahogany wooden door and carefully opened the door with one hand.

"If I could use my mana at will, it would be a lot easier." He muttered as he walked into the room, lamenting that he couldn't manipulate objects with a wave of his hand like Linglong did.

The room was quite luxurious, just below Bai Ze's room. In fact, all the rooms in this villa are very luxurious. The rooms are no exception.

"Another way is to get skill psychic propulsion through skill scrolls." Linglong appeared next to the window, part of the glass of which was obscured by a large light gray curtain.

"Learn skills like opening doors...... Forget it. Bai Ze shook his head with a wry smile and walked towards the bed.

"Huh...... Of course, you can also teach yourself, but it may be difficult for you to achieve near-perfect mana control right now. Linglong watched Bai Ze gently put the unconscious Shangguan Bingxue on the bed, with a smile on her face, and said jokingly: "Have you ever hugged your ex-girlfriend?" ”

Bai Ze straightened up again, walked towards the bathroom, and quipped, "Definitely." ”

"Huh." Linglong chuckled lightly and said solemnly: "Amen! ”

The reason why Linglong made such a joke was because although Bai Ze was in a very bad mood at that time, she was 100% sure that he didn't care about the past anymore.

In fact, from the unfluctuating tone, from Bai Ze's calm gaze, and the trembling of every muscle on his face, Linglong knew that Bai Ze didn't hate that girl at all. To him, the woman was like a stone in the middle of the road; Get kicked out of the way as if nothing happened, and move on.

Bai Ze came out of the bathroom and said, "Even if I haven't talked about a girlfriend, I have life experience." ”

Linglong shrugged, looked at what he was holding in his hand, and raised an eyebrow, "Just curious...... That wet towel, you wouldn't want to use it on her, would you? ”

"Huh?" Bai Ze paused, glanced at her, and said suspiciously: "It's for her to wipe her face...... Why do you ask? ”

"Uh......" Linglong approached Bai Ze with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "I ask you a question, you have to answer honestly, is it okay?" ”

"Absolutely." He didn't hesitate and nodded.

Linglong took a step back, pointed at Shangguan Bingxue, and asked, "What is she to you?" ”

"A reliable partner on the battlefield." Bai Ze did not hesitate at all.

"That's it?" Linglong raised her eyebrows and asked.

"That's it." He nodded and continued: "Shangguan Bingxue is a comrade-in-arms I can trust when fighting, a smart woman, and her opinions are worth listening to. From a woman's point of view, I think she's beautiful. But that's all...... If you're wondering if I feel anything in particular, the answer is absolutely no. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Ze smiled slightly and said jokingly: "You can't be jealous, right?" ”

Linglong ignored his words and looked directly into Bai Ze's eyes for a full minute in complete silence. Even if a minute is short, it's not the same when two people keep looking each other in the eye.

Finally, a complicated light flashed in her eyes, she took a second step back, and said tiredly: "Bai Ze...... I'm kind enough to warn you. ”

The smile on Bai Ze's face slowly receded, and his expression became serious and indifferent.

Linglong sighed, like a good sister educating her younger brother: "If you don't have special feelings for a woman, or you don't want to have any special relationship with her, then you have to be careful what you say and do...... There is nothing wrong with kindness in itself, but sometimes too much kindness can lead to misunderstandings. ”

Bai Ze opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he hesitated and didn't say anything.

Although he can be a little reserved at times, because he doesn't think about romantic things at all, doesn't think too highly of himself in this regard, and doesn't have time to do these things, Bai Ze is not an idiot who doesn't think about romance. He naturally understood what Linglong's words meant, and after analyzing it silently for a few seconds, he realized that what Linglong said was right.

"I see." He nodded, and turned back to the bathroom.

When Bai Ze came out again, there was no towel in his hand. Linglong watched Bai Ze walk to the window and sit on a sofa near the terrace, and she couldn't help but suspect that what she had just said seemed to have made things more complicated.

Linglong thought to herself, she had already meddled in enough things, and if she didn't let the current situation get out of control, it would be better not to interfere in the future.

Linglong walked to the closed window and sat down on the sofa opposite Bai Ze. She saw Bai Ze with his arms crossed, his eyes closed, and a pensive expression on his face. Linglong couldn't help but regret what she had just said.

Although she is a higher being that is not affected by the passage of time, whether it is hundreds, millennia, tens of thousands, or millions of years; But that doesn't mean Linglong has transcended time. She can't control time and goes back in time.

……

Bai Ze never left Shangguan Bingxue's room.

Because Shangguan Bingxue entrusted his life to him, he must not live up to expectations. After all, as a man, when another person entrusts his life to himself, all he can do is do his best to reciprocate.

From day to night, Bai Ze still sat on the sofa by the window, motionless.

Linglong naturally stayed by his side, and although the two didn't talk much, the atmosphere was not awkward. Instead, allow both of them to think about what they did wrong.

"Linglong."

She was looking up at the stars in the sky when Bai Ze's voice drew her gaze back.

Like Linglong, Bai Ze looked at the stars in the sky and seemed to be thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" She replied in a low voice, quickly melting into the darkness of the room.

"May I ask your age?" Bai Ze asked calmly.

Linglong was a little surprised by this question, then smiled slightly and asked rhetorically, "How old do you guess I am?" ”

He was silent for a few seconds before replying, "I don't know, it's about five thousand years old, right?" ”

"Hehe......" Linglong smiled sweetly, looked up at the stars in the distance, and replied lightly, "I'm much younger than you think, so young that you should be shocked when you know it." “

"Oh?" Bai Ze's curiosity soared, and he finally turned his head to look at her. Waiting for her next words.

After about a minute or two, Linglong finally spoke: "This world called the earth revolves around the sun every 365 days, right?" ”

Although Bai Ze had known these common knowledge for a long time, he was still surprised that Linglong could know it just by observing. Even so, he nodded: "That's right. ”

Linglong smiled slightly, the intricate smile was appropriate, and then said something that made Bai Ze stunned.

"So, it takes 365 days to go around the sun, which is called a year in this world...... At this time, I am not yet a hundred years old. ”
