The rain grew heavier and heavier, pouring down onto the ground and splashing up countless tiny droplets.
Bai Hao held an umbrella and stood next to Su Yuewan to shield her from the wind and rain.
"Honestly, why is it still not better after all this time? It's not like it's the first time I've broken through. Does it have to take this long?" His legs were starting to go numb from squatting.
It's one thing for Su Yuewan to want to break through here, but after breaking through for so long, and now that it's raining, he still has to personally hold an umbrella for her, which is really inconvenient for him.
If it weren't for the fact that she was the team leader, Bai Hao would have run away long ago.
Who cares about ordinary people?
But Su Yuewan is no ordinary person.
"Ugh, hurry up, why is it taking so long?" Bai Hao complained as he sat down on the ground.
Although it was raining heavily outside, the invisible aura emanating from Su Yuewan under the umbrella kept the water off the ground, preventing it from seeping in.
So the spot where Bai Hao sat was still dry.
Time ticked by, but the rain showed no sign of stopping; instead, it poured down harder and harder.
The rain poured down, and Bai Hao could feel the umbrella bearing an unusual amount of pressure.
He felt that he had been a very competent disciple. Others probably wouldn't even give her a second glance, let alone stay by her side and hold an umbrella for her.
"Sigh, only I would be so kind." Bai Hao pursed his lips, holding an umbrella in one hand and resting his chin on the other, looking directly at Su Yuewan, whose eyes were tightly closed.
To be honest, Su Yuewan's quiet and reserved demeanor was much more attractive than her usual tendency to bully him.
His features were perfect, flawless, and perfectly suited Bai Hao's aesthetic.
There's simply no one more beautiful than her.
If Su Yuewan hadn't often bullied him, and the two hadn't lived together, Bai Hao might have actually developed feelings for her over time.
Of course, all of this is now subject to the premise that it can no longer be established.
The real problem will be when Su Yuewan stops bullying him.
Just as Bai Hao was lost in thought, Su Yuewan suddenly opened her eyes slowly, her dark eyes seemingly carrying a clear ripple.
Bai Hao was staring blankly at Su Yuewan's face when she suddenly opened her eyes, which startled him.
However, Bai Hao quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "Um, Sect Master, you're finally awake."
"Mm." Su Yuewan nodded calmly.
She looked up at Bai Hao, her eyes revealing an expression Bai Hao had never seen before, a mixture of sadness and sorrow.
Two lines of clear tears silently flowed down Su Yuewan's cheeks.
"Hey, hey, hey, Sect Master, are you alright?" Bai Hao panicked immediately.
He was originally thinking about how to congratulate Su Yuewan on her successful breakthrough, but Su Yuewan suddenly did this.
Why did you suddenly start crying?
This was the first time he had ever seen Su Yuewan cry, and he was at a loss for what to do, not knowing how to comfort her.
Since he doesn't even know why Su Yuewan is crying, how can he know how to comfort her?
“I cried…” Su Yuewan was also stunned. She raised her hand and gently wiped the corner of her eye, a tear appearing on her fingertip.
She stared blankly at the teardrop on her fingertip, without saying a word.
"Are you alright? Should I take you back to Thousand Spirit Peak first?" Bai Hao said softly.
He didn't know whether Su Yuewan had succeeded or failed in her breakthrough. Was it because she failed that she cried?
But that shouldn't be the case, Su Yuewan doesn't seem like such a fragile person.
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
Hearing Bai Hao's words, Su Yuewan came to her senses and realized that they were in the pouring rain, and Bai Hao was holding an umbrella to shield them from the rain.
There is one world beneath the umbrella, and another world outside the umbrella.
An umbrella separates us from the world, from you and me.
"You... you've been holding the umbrella for me the whole time?" Su Yuewan looked at the rain outside, then turned back to Bai Hao, somewhat lost in thought.
“Yes, you’ve been sitting here for four days now. I didn’t dare call you. Since it’s raining, I can only hold an umbrella for you.” Bai Hao nodded.
So, he had been holding the umbrella for me the whole time.
Su Yuewan's eyes darkened slightly.
[So what if you failed to break through? It's not a big deal. It's not like it's your first time failing. There's no need to be so disappointed.]
Bai Hao couldn't help but want to complain.
He couldn't understand what Su Yuewan meant at all; she didn't seem like the type to cry if she failed to break through.
But the tears Su Yuewan shed just now caused his heart to ache inexplicably.
"Did you think I failed to break through?" Su Yuewan looked at Bai Hao with amusement.
"I don't know, but I just saw you crying, Sect Master, and I thought..." Bai Hao scratched his head, not daring to finish his sentence.
Upon hearing Bai Hao say that he had cried, Su Yuewan immediately became anxious: "I didn't cry! I just got sand in my eyes. Don't talk nonsense, or I'll pull your ear!"
Su Yuewan stretched out her palm, making a fierce face as she threatened.
Bai Hao immediately feigned fear, vowing, "No, I didn't see anything just now, and I absolutely won't say a word!"
"Hmph, that's more like it." Su Yuewan snorted softly, withdrew her raised fist, and turned to leave.
"Hey, it's still raining. Sect Master, why don't you take an umbrella?" Bai Hao quickly said.
Su Yuewan stepped directly out of the umbrella's embrace, and the heavy rain soaked her clothes instantly.
But Su Yuewan didn't care. Instead, she turned to look at Bai Hao and said, "Getting wet in the rain is a wonderful thing. Why use an umbrella?"
She opened her arms and embraced the endless rain.
The rain was pouring down, and Bai Hao could no longer see her face clearly; he could only faintly hear her words.
Bai Hao secretly curled his lip in response and said, "You crazy woman, if you want to get soaked in the rain, go ahead and get soaked yourself. I'm not that stupid."
As he spoke, he opened his umbrella and walked back into the kitchen, while Su Yuewan's figure had completely disappeared into the heavy rain, vanished without a trace.
Actually, getting caught in the rain is not pleasant at all; Su Yuewan hates rain the most.
But this time, she wanted to throw herself into the torrential rain like never before, because only in this way could she wash away the sorrow in her heart.
Indeed, she has successfully broken through and reached a truly supreme state.
The price she paid for this was severing ties with many past memories, and the sorrow in her heart brought her to tears.
Therefore, she needed this heavy rain to wash away the sadness in her heart, to immerse herself in the rain, and to stop thinking about anything and stop bothering herself.
After being drenched in the rain, she was reborn...
