Time seems to move slowly to people today, but to people in the future, time will vanish in an instant.
For Bai Yueyue, this period was both exhilarating and painful. In the midst of this hectic time, Bai Yueyue had very little time to rest.
From Monday to the weekend, I prepare for the college entrance examination during the day, and practice for the coming-of-age ceremony at night.
The only time she could truly rest was during lunchtime at school, when Bai Yueyue didn't have to put on an elegant facade.
It's just that those training sessions have given Bai Yueyue an air of elegance that Zhang Yu couldn't quite describe in anything she does. Because, who eats so quickly while appearing to take small bites?
When Bai Yueyue told Nianxin about the "torture" she was going through and that she needed to replenish her nutrition (actually, Bai Yueyue wanted Nianxin to comfort her), Nianxin seemed to misunderstand and started preparing lunch for Bai Yueyue every day at noon.
Waaah, Nianxin's cooking is so delicious, but I don't like spinach or anything like that.
Bai Yueyue cried. Although Nianxin had told her not to cook for him, Nianxin insisted that Bai Yueyue eat the food she cooked, citing the reason that Bai Yueyue would become malnourished due to so many tasks.
My little heart is the best person in the world because Bai Yueyue has occasionally eaten the food Nianxin makes since last semester, so she trusts the taste of Nianxin's cooking. She has also given up the idea of being a picky eater because Nianxin would never agree to it.
"Yueyue, are you really alright?" At night, Xiaoya looked worriedly at Bai Yueyue, who had rushed back to training after dealing with the monster.
"It's alright, just like before, I can heal it with magic." Bai Yueyue shook her dizzy head. Perhaps because she had too many things to do and too much pressure, Bai Yueyue's body had started to get fevers and illnesses.
Only with the suppression of magic was Bai Yueyue able to persevere.
"Phew." After the temperature dropped, Bai Yueyue let out a long breath.
She then changed into her practice clothes and high heels and walked quickly to the training room at the bottom of the villa.
"Yueyue, demonstrate what you learned last week again," Li Jieyue said.
"Yes, please instruct me, Mother." After bowing, Bai Yueyue retreated to her familiar spot and assumed a fighting stance.
Huh?
Suddenly, Bai Yueyue found herself surrounded by a spinning motion, her whole body began to feel hot and weak, and the familiar floor began to shake.
No, not now. I need to heal myself with magic as soon as possible...
Clearly sensing that something was wrong with her condition, Bai Yueyue still tried to use magic to keep going.
While suppressing her physical discomfort with magic, Bai Yueyue skillfully began to complete the task assigned to her by Li Jieyue with a perfect, elegant smile.
"Yueyue! Yueyue! No, you can't keep going like this. If this continues, even magic won't be able to heal you." Xiaoya called out anxiously beside Bai Yueyue. Because Bai Yueyue was used to putting on a trustworthy smile, and the suppression of magic made her complexion look like a normal person, no one would know her physical condition unless Bai Yueyue told them herself. "You need to rest."
"I understand." Bai Yueyue's voice was so weak that even Xiao Ya, who was beside her, had difficulty hearing it. "Soon, I'll tell Mother after this dance...soon..."
Her vision went black, and the exhaustion in her body caused Bai Yueyue's magic to stop for a moment. In that instant, Bai Yueyue collapsed as if she had lost her support.
"Yueyue!" In the end, Bai Yueyue heard Xiaoya and Li Jieyue's anxious voices.
Ah, it must have hurt terribly when I fell. I'm sorry, I'll never try to tough it out again.
When Bai Yueyue opened her eyes, she was lying under an unfamiliar ceiling. Where was she?
"Yueyue, you're awake, doctor, doctor..." Li Jieyue's voice came through. Bai Yueyue looked at the haggard-looking Li Jieyue next to her and the syringe on the back of her hand, piecing together the memories before she fainted.
By the way, I fell ill during practice. My head is still throbbing slightly, but it's much better than before.
Looking at my hands, I should still be a girl, right?
"The girl was too tired, which caused her physical condition to decline and she contracted the virus, which is why she fell ill. Now that she's awake, she should be fine. I know she's a senior in high school, but as her mother, I should try to understand her condition better," the doctor said to Bai Yueyue.
Seeing Li Jieyue's guilty expression, Bai Yueyue really wanted to say: This is not Mother's fault, it was because I was holding back and forcing myself to be strong that this happened.
"I'm sorry, Mother... I've caused you trouble." Bai Yueyue said in a hoarse voice after the doctor left.
"How could that be? My Yueyue is the best. I didn't pay attention to Yueyue's condition and made her suffer too much." Li Jieyue had no thoughts at all the moment Bai Yueyue fainted.
What etiquette? What music, chess, calligraphy, and painting? None of that is necessary anymore. Yueyue doesn't need any of that. Even if those people really come looking for her, I, as her mother, will protect her for the rest of my life.
Bai Yueyue gently shook her head. How could she blame Li Jieyue? If she had told Li Jieyue that she was feeling unwell, Li Jieyue would have taken her to the hospital for a check-up long ago, and she wouldn't have gotten sick.
More importantly, Bai Yueyue knew why Li Jieyue had taught her all this. If she really encountered a problem that neither Li Jieyue nor Bai Zhenhao could handle, she would definitely have to hide at her maternal grandfather's house or the Qin family like Lin Daiyu, right?
Needless to say, the Qin family was a different story, but the fact that her mother had never taken her back to the Li family, and the conversation between her maternal grandfather and mother, indicated that not everyone in the Li family welcomed her. In the future, as someone living under someone else's roof, she would have to be exceptionally outstanding and obedient to better establish herself.
