Tian Xuanzi smiled faintly as he looked at her. His eyes reflected light, and Bai Tong could clearly see her own reflection in the light and shadow in his eyes. His gaze was focused on tracing her face.
A car drove by on the road in the neighborhood. It was driven by someone who was also returning home late. The car was moving very slowly, with the windows half-open. The driver was driving in front, and the wife was fast asleep, leaning on her husband's shoulder. The husband carefully pulled his clothes over her and gently kissed her forehead.
Bai Tong withdrew her gaze, pulled down the cloak she was wearing. She hadn't felt it before, but now she seemed to be able to feel the temperature and warmth that originally belonged to Tian Xuanzi. Her heart was beating a little fast, like a leaf dancing in the wind, or a deer leaping in the forest, her gaze yearning and unwilling to leave Tian Xuanzi.
This feeling was completely foreign to her, making her tremble with fear, yet she also had a secret, fervent desire to get closer. Listening to his breathing, it was as if she could put something into her heart.
"If you weren't here during this time, or if you were gone, I really don't know what I would have done."
"I won't leave."
Tian Xuanzi raised his hand and gently brushed it across her head. Bai Tong suddenly looked up. He held a green leaf between his fingers, slowly let go, and allowed it to fly away on the wind.
His fingers were long and slender, with distinct knuckles and faintly visible blue veins—hands that would make anyone squeal with delight and lick the screen if photographed and posted online.
Besides, he has such a handsome face. If he were willing to take a picture and post it on the team's official Weibo account, it would definitely help the club gain millions of followers.
He smiled.
"I'm here to help you achieve your dream, but I'm just an ordinary boss behind the scenes. The real fans who are attracted here are those who scream and get excited because of your dominance in the Rift, because of your skills and achievements, and who cheer for you and wait for you to raise the cup in glory."
His voice was neither hurried nor slow, yet it stirred Bai Tong's heart. She stared at him with wide eyes, and he took her hand, placed it on his face, and slowly traced his face with his fingertips.
"No matter how beautiful or handsome this face is, if it can't help your achievements or your glory, isn't it completely useless?"
He held Bai Tong's hand and gently stroked his face. The lines of his face were deep and distinct, and his skin was smooth and supple. She suddenly noticed with jealousy that he had no acne scars or blemishes. His skin was so good that it would make any girl envious.
Her mouth was dry, and she was dizzy and didn't know what she was saying: "Ah, what's wrong? It's useless. It's so beautiful, it's pleasing to the eye and makes me happy. Looking at it more every day will make me happy and I'll fight even harder. It's more useful than getting the Dragon King buff..."
Good heavens, what nonsense is she spouting!
Bai Tong felt like he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with his toes.
He gripped her hand tighter and pressed it against his face; with each laugh, Bai Tong could feel his cheeks trembling.
"It seems this face is still somewhat useful. I should hide it and only show it to you."
Bai Tong pulled her hand out one by one, clutched her chest, gasped, and took a step back.
No, no, my heart is rebelling and about to jump out of my chest. Why is her face so hot? It's like it could cook an egg.
"I'm sleepy, I'm going back to sleep. I'm already at the door, I'm leaving now!"
She turned around in a panic and ran back to the villa. The wind carried his soft laughter. She turned her head to look back and saw him walking slowly, his fingertips hooking a small red paper bag containing snacks. The moonlight cast a long shadow at his feet. Step by step, it seemed as if he was walking towards her heart.
Bai Tong fled in panic.
