When Bai Xiaoruo returned home in the evening, Sister Luo had already arrived early. An empty room on the second floor had been prepared as Bai Xiaoruo's training room for the next few days.
It was another dinner that was barely finished under Sister Luo's watchful eye. After dinner, before she had even rested for ten minutes, Sister Luo called Bai Xiaoruo upstairs.
Upon entering the training room, without explaining why, Sister Luo made Bai Xiaoru stand on tiptoe against the wall.
She had to stand there for half an hour, with a book on her head.
Bai Xiaoruo could only endure it. Her toes were numb and she had no strength left. When Sister Luo glared at her sternly, Bai Xiaoruo did not dare to relax.
Gu Yao stood at the door, took out his phone, and silently snapped a picture of this moment. This was the fifth photo he had secretly taken of Bai Xiaoruo today, and he sent them all to Xian Mingyu.
This morning when she first practiced her standing posture, while eating, this afternoon when she went out sketching, before taking the bus home, and now, as she's practicing her posture on tiptoe...
Xuan Mingyu flipped through the photos Gu Yao had sent. The angles of the candid shots were quite good. Seeing the little girl suffering, Xuan Mingyu found it amusing. She should suffer a bit, so she wouldn't be so leisurely at home as a pampered young mistress all day.
She has so many flaws to change. I wonder if she will be a completely different person by the time I finish my work here and go back.
The photo of Bai Xiaoruo with her head down, holding a drawing board in one hand and a pen in the other, drawing intently, was the one that Xuan Mingyu looked at the longest.
Unexpectedly, this little girl is quite capable when she gets serious.
Her small face, slender body, and light brown school uniform skirt exuded a strong sense of youthful energy.
The lush green lawn beneath her, the natural scenery, made her appear incredibly peaceful and beautiful.
As if by magic, when Xian Mingyu pressed and held down the key, he actually saved the photo to his album.
Actually, after looking at her for a while, I realized that this little girl isn't ugly at all; she's the kind of girl whose looks grow on you.
Hsien Ming-yu still remembers that day in his office when he took off her glasses and saw her clean, unadorned face.
Beneath those thick, black-rimmed glasses, she had a pair of large, watery eyes, a delicate nose, pink lips, and slightly curled eyelashes.
She often bites her lower lip, lowers her head, and stares at the floor.
When I'm anxious or nervous, my brows furrow involuntarily...
Perhaps she wasn't as boring as she imagined.

Over the course of more than a week, Bai Xiaoruo learned a lot from Sister Luo, but she also suffered a lot.
Normally at school, when there are no important classes, Bai Xiaoruo would go to the dance studio on the fifth floor on time to practice her standing and sitting postures, as well as get used to wearing high heels of different heights and try her best to maintain her balance.
Basic dance skills are also essential; you need to learn everything, such as leg stretches and back bends.
Not only that, but they also need to brush up on their English and French, at least to learn basic communication skills.
You must also memorize the rules and etiquette of the Hsien family, and learn about the daily interests and hobbies of Hsien Ming-yu's parents.
Bai Xiaoruo was really stressed, but despite the hard work, the food had been good lately, and her weight hadn't dropped. In fact, she had gained two pounds. Sister Luo said that this was a good thing and kept urging Bai Xiaoruo to eat more. She said that if she was too thin, she would look sickly, and the elders wouldn't like a daughter-in-law like that.
Over the weekend, Sister Luo took Bai Xiaoruo to get new contact lenses. She got three pairs in total, so that Bai Xiaoruo would get used to wearing contact lenses more often when going out. This way, she would look much better than those thick black-rimmed glasses, and she would look much more energetic.
On the last day of training, Sister Luo was leaving. Bai Xiaoruo felt a little uncomfortable and reluctant to part with her. Although Sister Luo seemed very fierce to her and hit her hard, never holding back, Bai Xiaoruo had learned a lot from her time with Sister Luo. She gradually realized that Sister Luo was actually a very good person and would often tell Bai Xiaoruo many profound truths in private, hoping that she would keep them in mind.
After all, marrying into a wealthy family like the Xian family and becoming a young mistress means facing many, many more obstacles in the future, which Bai Xiaoruo cannot escape just because she is young.
Especially since she doesn't have children yet, although they are still newlyweds and there's no need to rush, both Grandpa Xian and Xian Mingyu's parents, as well as other relatives of the Xian family, have other thoughts and hope that a new life will be born in the Xian family soon.

At night, Bai Xiaoruo sat in front of the easel, painting intently.
Although tomorrow is Grandpa's birthday, the third day after his birthday is also the important day of the finals. Bai Xiaoruo cannot be distracted. She had already finished drawing the artwork for the competition in her spare time, but she was not very satisfied with it. She wanted to draw it a few more times until it was perfect, in order to make it into the finals.
Bai Xiaoruo painted until after 9 p.m., and feeling a bit sleepy, she put away her paintbrush, stretched her neck, and rubbed her lower back. Sitting in the same position for so long was quite tiring.
I found a set of pajamas in the closet and went into the bathroom.
......
Meanwhile, at the airport.
The plane that Hsien Ming-yu was on landed smoothly.
The car was already waiting at the airport entrance, with his bodyguards following closely behind.
When the bodyguard opened the car door for Xian Mingyu, he hesitated for a moment, feeling a little reluctant to go back there tonight.
"Let's go to the new campus."
