Chapter 221 Are you so defenseless against me?
"Um..." Jiang Yao looked embarrassed. "I didn't take my clothes, so I borrowed your bathrobe. Sorry."
"It's okay." Li Beiting realized that his voice was a little hoarse when he said it.
"Then I'll go back to my room first..."
After saying this, Jiang Yao took a step and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, a bolt of lightning struck the sky, and a loud thunder sounded.
The lights in the room went out and it became pitch black.
"Ah!" Jiang Yao was so frightened that she subconsciously bumped into the man in front of her, and her whole body was buried in his arms.
The woman's soft body came over him, and the sweet scent of shower gel lingered around his nose.
Li Beiting was a little distracted for a moment, but when he felt her trembling, he subconsciously hugged her back, "Don't worry, it should just be a power outage."
The magnetic and gentle voice had a very soothing effect. Jiang Yao was just about to relax when a loud thunder sounded again.
This time, she was so scared that she closed her eyes and hugged him tighter.
Li Beiting seemed to have noticed something, and with a hint of smile in his tone, he asked, "Are you afraid of thunder?"
"No, no! What's there to be afraid of thunder?" Jiang Yao pretended to be calm.
She just remembered the day when she was kicked out of the house. There were lightning and thunder outside the house. No matter how much she knelt outside the door and begged, her adoptive parents refused to open the door for her.
She had no choice but to run out in the thunderstorm and was almost hit by a car on the way.
She thought she had forgotten those things.
But today's thunder reminded her of the shadow of that night.
She almost died there, just like her parents.
"Don't be afraid." Li Beiting keenly sensed her emotions, suppressed his restlessness, and reached out to gently stroke her back. "It will be over soon. I'm with you!"
The warmth in his palm was so strong that it seemed to flow all the way into her heart.
Jiang Yao rubbed against his arms, like a kitten, feeling a little uneasy.
"Come to think of it, why are you so active in practicing martial arts today?" Li Beiting used other topics to divert her attention.
"I'm going to have a boxing match tomorrow." Jiang Yao didn't hide it and explained the matter briefly.
Li Beiting frowned worriedly after hearing this, "They are so many in number, you..."
"It doesn't matter. That guy is no match for me. Don't you have confidence in me?" Jiang Yao's tone still contained a bit of pride.
Li Beiting thought about the fight with Jiang Yao today. Indeed, with her current skills, it would not be a problem for her to fight against several people at once.
"I'll be cheering you on from the audience."
He always respected Jiang Yao's wishes.
Jiang Yao felt a soft feeling in his heart, and the distance between them seemed to be closer.
The two of them chatted casually, and neither of them was willing to leave the embrace.
Later, she felt sleepy and fell asleep in his arms.
Li Beiting helplessly looked at the sleeping face of the woman in his arms, gently touched her forehead with his, and murmured, "Are you so defenseless against me?"
He didn't know whether to be happy or helpless.
But in the end, he still picked up the person and carried him back to the room.
After putting Jiang Yao on the bed, Li Beiting stood up and was about to leave, but she grabbed his hand.
Although she was already asleep, her brows were tightly furrowed, and she seemed a little uneasy.
Li Beiting knew that this was a manifestation of her lack of security.
He felt a little soft-hearted for a moment, but in the end, he didn't let go of her hand and stayed.
The next day.
Jiang Yao was awakened by a knock on the door.
"Miss, are you awake?"
Jiang Yao opened her eyes drowsily, and the first thing that caught her eye was the man's enlarged handsome face.
"ah--"
Jiang Yao screamed subconsciously, waking up Li Beiting who was standing beside her.
At the same time, Wang Ma's worried voice came from the outer door, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
I saw Aunt Wang turning the doorknob and about to come in.
At the critical moment, Jiang Yao was quick-witted. "It's okay, Aunt Wang. I just saw a cockroach. I was mistaken. Please don't come in yet. I'm changing clothes——"
Speak all at once.
Only then did Wang Ma stop what she was doing.
Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to meet Li Beiting's smiling face.
He was lying on his side, but it did not affect his handsomeness at all.
Jiang Yao's mouth twitched.
"Then you change your clothes first. Breakfast is ready. I'll go call Mr. Li."
As soon as Aunt Wang finished speaking, Jiang Yao sat up with a sudden somersault and said, "No need to call him."
Wang Ma said "Huh?" in confusion.
Jiang Yao could only bite the bullet and continue making up stories, "Well, maybe he likes to sleep in. You should not disturb him and wait for him to wake up naturally!"
There was an eerie silence outside for a few seconds before Aunt Wang whispered, "Then I'll go downstairs and wait for you."
Only when the footsteps gradually faded away did Jiang Yao breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ms. Jiang Yao, are you going to ruin my reputation like this? I don't have the habit of sleeping in." Li Beiting's joking tone sounded in his ears.
Jiang Yao was furious. "Whose fault do you think it is? Who told you to run into my bed in the middle of the night? Did you intend to attack me at night?"
"Do you want me to remind you? Who was it that threw himself into my arms last night, holding onto my hand even when he fell asleep, unwilling to let me go?"
Li Beiting asked back with narrowed eyes.
It looks quite imposing.
Jiang Yao was stunned by what he said.
Could it be that she was the one who took the initiative last night?
Thinking of this possibility, a surge of heat rushed to her brain, and she stumbled, "You, you also said that I was asleep at the time and was not conscious. This is not my fault."
The more she spoke, the more guilty she felt.
"Are you blaming me?" Li Beiting gave her an innocent look.
"I didn't mean that." Jiang Yao blushed and changed the subject directly. "Forget it, let's write off what happened last night. Hurry up and get up and go back to your room to avoid being discovered. I'm going to wash up."
Li Beiting watched her with amusement as she jumped off the bed like a rabbit and rushed into the bathroom, a hint of doting tenderness flashing in her eyes.
He immediately got up, changed his clothes, and went downstairs with Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao didn't know if it was an illusion, but during breakfast, she always felt that Wang Ma's eyes were looking at them strangely for several times, but in the end she didn't say anything.
After some simple training in the morning, the group arrived at the ring on time in the afternoon.
The people from Shangwu Hall had already arrived.
This time, in addition to Wu Hui, Yang Quanshang was accompanied by another man and a woman.
"Old Wang, since this is a ring match, it's a best-of-three match. Don't accuse us of bullying. I've also brought my female disciples with me. Of course, you can also ask for outside help."
The old man spoke in a high-sounding manner.
Uncle Wang's expression changed instantly.
Even if they were not clear about Wu Hui's strength, the man and woman were clearly the most powerful eldest and second disciples under the old man.
"You actually let your strongest disciple bully Yaoyao, a newcomer. How shameless are you!" He shouted directly.
