On a summer night, the starry sky is dazzling, and the full moon outside the window shines with a bright light, dispelling the fear of darkness for people in the dark.
Bai Yanlang rested his hands on the windowsill, quietly watching the moon outside. The lights were off inside, and the milky moonlight streamed into the room through the window.
In the dead of night, with no one around, Bai Yanlang wasn't wearing his mask. In the past three years, he had rarely thought about his childhood, as if he had truly forgotten her.
"Master, it's so late, are you still awake?" Bai Jian turned on the light and stood respectfully at the door.
Seeing that her master's door was ajar, she was about to close it when she saw her master dressed in white, his hazy figure in the moonlight looking as holy as an angel in white.
Bai Yanlang turned his head slightly and glanced at Bai Jian. He was a little surprised. If Bai Jian hadn't spoken, he would have sensed someone entering the room. Had his vigilance decreased, or had he lost all vigilance towards Bai Jian?
Four years ago, Bai Jian didn't dare to ask him anything, but now she dares to question him!
"I'm not sleepy, and you haven't slept either."
Bai Jian walked behind Bai Yanlang, "I'm not sleepy either."
She wasn't a talkative person, and her abilities were inferior to those of White Bee and White Eagle. She couldn't share her master's burdens, and the only thing she could do was silently stay by his side.
After a moment of silence, Bai Yanlang told Bai Jian to go back to sleep. Bai Jian went out and closed the door, but didn't leave. Instead, he sat by the door, leaning against the wall, and took a nap.
For the past four years, Bai Jian has always stayed quietly by Bai Yanlang's side. Anyone with eyes can see Bai Jian's feelings for Bai Yanlang, and the two of them know it too, but neither of them has ever confessed their feelings.
Bai Jian was afraid that if she spoke out, she wouldn't be able to stay by Bai Yanlang's side; Bai Yanlang didn't speak out, so he didn't know what his feelings for Bai Jian were, and he had no plans to get married and have children.
Like Di Chenxiao, Bai Yanlang had no childhood, never received parental love, and never experienced the warmth of family; all he received was constant beatings and punishments.
Even after he grew up, he still had a fear of family. He didn't know if he could not be a good husband and a good father, so he dared not try marriage.
Most importantly, Bai Yanlang is confused about his feelings for Bai Jian. In the previous book, after Bai Yanlang fell in love with Lu Yishan, he loved her wholeheartedly without any hesitation.
Bai Yanlang slowly drifted off to sleep, in which he dreamt of his childhood.
From the time he could remember, his parents disliked him, and Tong Mi often beat him secretly. At first, he thought it was because he was disobedient that his parents disliked him. Later, when Tong Mi beat him or when others bullied him, he would not cry out in pain because he did not want to make Tong Mi angry.
Soon after Bai Yaoyang was born, Tong Mi's hatred for Bai Yanlang intensified.
Later, as Bai Yaoyang grew up, Bai Yanlang had no place in the family anymore, and Bai Cangluo let Tong Mi beat Bai Yanlang.
On one occasion, it went even further. When Bai Yaoyang was practicing darts, he used Bai Yanlang as a target. He had people tie Bai Yanlang to a pillar and shoot darts at him. In the end, Bai Yanlang had several scars on his body.
While Bai Yanlang was injured, Bai Yaoyang, jealous of Bai Yanlang's appearance, barged into Bai Yanlang's small room and left a long scar on Bai Yanlang's face.
When the elders of the Bai family found out, none of them blamed Bai Yaoyang. Instead, they punished the injured Bai Yanlang, saying that Bai Yanlang had corrupted Bai Yaoyang.
Later, Bai Lingyun realized Bai Yanlang's value, so he trained Bai Yanlang and made him work for him.
