"Master's wife, what do you mean by this?"
"I'm afraid of death, but there shouldn't be anyone in this world who isn't afraid of death."
"However, sometimes, even risking one's life is worthwhile to charge forward!"
“I don’t know what role I will play, and I may become a burden, but if I don’t take that step, I will never move forward.”
"If necessary, please be sure to involve me."
I answered my teacher's wife very seriously, because this was my truest thought.
My teacher's wife stared at me, as if trying to see something in my eyes.
A moment later, the master's wife burst out laughing:
"What an interesting girl. She's clearly afraid of death, but she doesn't run away from it."
"You're right. Nobody is unafraid of death. In our line of work, we're meant to die for others. Of course, not dying is the best outcome."
"Only by fearing death can one avoid danger, be more cautious, and go further."
"I've suddenly come to admire you a little."
My teacher's wife has such a beautiful smile. She always has such a cold face, but her smile is so beautiful.
"Master's wife, you look so beautiful when you smile." I praised you from the bottom of my heart.
The master's wife was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting me to praise her, and her pretty face even blushed slightly.
"See? Even your apprentice noticed it, only you are oblivious to romance."
After saying that, he glanced at his master.
The master sighed, rubbing his head, "I never said you weren't pretty, so why are you finding fault with me? Sigh~"
When my master's wife saw his expression, she and I burst out laughing at the same time: "Pfft~ Hahahaha."
"Alright, I'll be going with you this time too."
"Xiao Xi, from now on, get up at four o'clock every morning. Your master's wife will teach you swordsmanship. Don't be afraid of hardship. Hardship at least proves that you are still alive."
I nodded emphatically.
“Yes, Master’s wife. I’m not afraid of hardship. I’m only afraid of disappointing Master and myself.”
After dinner, the sun had completely set, and the world was pitch black.
I was panting heavily as I maintained my nightly exercise routine.
I can clearly feel the improvement in my body.
This feeling is different from before; I feel that something has changed in my body.
But I can't quite put my finger on this feeling.
After running 20 kilometers in the evening, my clothes were soaked with sweat.
I strolled along the dim streetlights, feeling the stillness of the night.
Just as I was about to pass by a Western restaurant, a petite figure caught my eye.
A white rabbit? How could that be? Why is she here?
The last time I saw this little girl was at a hotel in Qingpu District. Could it be...?
I took out my phone and opened my chat with White Rabbit.
Oh no, did this little girl come looking for me?
Since I added White Rabbit on WeChat, she has been chatting with me from time to time and knows that I live in the Dedication District.
I got along very well with this little girl. Although she was young, she didn't speak like other children.
I made a voice call with White Rabbit.
The petite figure in front also stopped and fumbled for her phone in her bag.
This is definitely a white rabbit.
"Little girl, have you arrived at the donation area?"
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little panicked:
"Oh, how did you know?"
Is that really the case?
"Turn around!"
The white rabbit paused for two seconds, then turned to look at me, unable to hide her excitement:
"Haha, Sister Chen Xi, what a coincidence! I was planning to message you tomorrow, but I didn't expect to run into you today!"
"You little rascal, you should have told me you were coming, and I could have come to pick you up."
Where are your mom and dad?
"Didn't they come with you?"
I looked around but didn't see anyone else.
White Rabbit pouted: "I'm not a six or seven-year-old child anymore, I'm already thirteen!"
"Besides, my parents don't care where I go."
"It must be very dangerous for you to travel so far by yourself. Where do you live?"
I'm a little worried; after all, she's such a young girl, who knows what might happen to her.
The little rabbit pointed with her tiny hand: "Look, right there!"
I looked up and saw a brightly lit signboard in the distance that read "Home Inn".
Looking at it this way, the little girl really is rich.
Keep in mind, this is Shanghai, and hotel accommodations here are not cheap.
The fact that such a young girl like her could live there at least proves that her family is quite well-off.
"I'm going in that direction too, let me give you a ride!"
For White Rabbit's safety, I still decided to take her back to her room.
White Rabbit didn't refuse, and the two of us strolled under the night sky.
After walking for about ten minutes, I dropped White Rabbit off at the hotel and then took the elevator downstairs by myself to go back.
Since my master's wife required me to get up early, I naturally had to stay in the Taoist temple.
Back in the Taoist temple courtyard, I heard faint sounds coming from inside the Cold Cloud Hall.
Has a thief broken in?
I took a few more steps toward the entrance of Hanyun Hall, then suddenly stopped.
A soft, indescribable moan came from inside, and only then did I realize what my master's wife meant by "paying public grain" during the day!
I only felt my cheeks burning. After all, they were my master and mistress, so I couldn't think too much about it.
Besides, it's normal for couples to feel like they're getting back together after a long absence, it's perfectly normal!
I kept telling myself this in my heart, and quickly stepped back to Cloud Paradise.
It could only be described as a hasty retreat.
I thought I would be too embarrassed to sleep, but perhaps because I had exercised a lot, my phone alarm went off while I was half asleep.
