156 Extra The Bai family’s first master (2) Part I

The first master of the Bai family could feel his heart break!

The bruises on Bai Yu’s body made her brother feel as if his breath had been suffocated…

His beautiful sister.

His sweet sister.

His fragile little sister.

Why was she black and blue all over like this?!

“You’re thinner.” Bai He was not pleased that his sister in his arms had become thinner than before. She had always been small and fragile, but this was too much! He had to examine the food here thoroughly.

“But I’m still beautiful, right?”

Bai He watched Bai Yu’s smile and tried to harden his heart. No, I won’t give in and let you off easily!

.....

“You’re full of bruises.” His sister was this beautiful. Her pure white skin should not have blemishes on it, temporary or permanent.

Ever since they were children, he had always protected her, not allowing a scratch. But who knew she herself would run headfirst into problems and hurt herself. This training would benefit Bai Yu...but he had to closely inspect the medicines here.

“But I’m still beautiful, right?”

Bai He stared at his stubborn sister’s face. No, I won’t give in and let you off easily!

Bai Yu repeatedly blinked cutely at her brother.

“If you’re hurt more than this, I won’t let you continue your training.” No, I won’t give in and let you off easily!

His baby sister immediately raised three fingers, a strange gesture yet still looked beautiful when done by her. She gladly gave her word. “I will be careful of anything that’s harmful to my beauty!”

Bai He sighed, then handed the honey cube to her. Bai Yu loudly kissed his cheek.

Yu-er... I won’t give in and let you off easily!

——————-

The first master of the Bai family still thought that his sister was the most beautiful and dignified. Even her friend, Miss Xu, dimmed when she was next to her. However, there was still one thing that Bai He had to admit that his Bai Yu had lost to Miss Xu… And that was the bosom that was the most outstanding of all the women here.

Bai He admitted that he enjoyed glancing at Miss Xu, just as other men his age would. Even after tearing his eyes away, the fullness was engraved in his mind so deeply that he felt shy.

“Brother, I’m thirsty. Let’s find a place to sit down and drink some tea.”

Bai He nodded, agreed. Bai Yu was not alone in feeling thirsty; he himself was strangely parched. He had to thank Bai Yu for coincidentally feeling the same thing, which allowed them to politely separate from his sister’s friend.

Bai He had always thought that he was the protective one. Who would have expected Bai Yu to be the same as well? She was scolding him for staring at that ‘Pei-er.’

“I’m not overthinking it. Back there, you were staring so hard, your ears were all red as well.” Bai Yu stabbed her finger at his ears, which were still red, saying, “Why are you so flirtatious, brother?!”

Any man who saw the same thing I did would naturally stare...

“Come on, dear sister. I’m a man, and when there’s a...a...woman in front of me, it’s only natural that I’d stare.”

“But your eyes did not say the same, brother.” Bai Yu glared at him.

Bai He gave her a smile, both amused at himself and his sister’s thought. “Then what did my eyes say, hm?”

“Your eyes when you called her ‘Pei-er’ seemed to be saying something to her.” Bai Yu’s grimace was so cute that he had forgotten all about that miss.

“And what was that something?”

Bai Yu took a deep breath, then tried to lower her voice to sound more like a man.

“I’ve always thought my heart was on the left side, but it turns out it’s actually on the right beside you.”

Bai He was speechless.

Who had taught these words to his sister? Did someone try to court her while he was away? Darn it! He would not let her remember those things. She must remember his words, her brother’s words.

“My heart’s not on the left or the right of anyone. My heart is with you.”

Other than Ouyang Mingxian, he would never give his innocent sister to anyone!

——————

The first master of the Bai family felt strangely distant from his sister like never before.

“Mother, can’t you call her back to stay here?” Today, he was finally at the end of his patience. He went to see his mother and asked her to call Bai Yu back to Bai Mansion. He could no longer endure it. He missed his sister too much. Even though they were not too far apart and they could meet often, his Yu-er was busy with training and practicing, and so he could only watch her from afar. He finally came home after a long while, yet his sister was occupied with training. The older brother was hurt.

“Yu-er is focusing on her practice. What are you disturbing her for?”

Though Yue Mei was angry that her daughter had lost to Bai Hua, she also understood that Bai Yu was testing out new things. And that was something she never dared to teach her how to do so. She feared that she would be the one to get carried away by the novelty that she had never experienced while being trapped in her position as Bai Furen. Yue Mei could only pray that Bai Yu would not one day end up like her.

Bai He understood his mother’s feelings. However, he was irritated at the conflicts boiling within him.

Bai Yu’s training until she was strong enough to protect herself was indeed a good thing for an overprotective brother like him. Still, seeing the bruises on her body and the complete focus she had on her training made him reluctant to interrupt, and that made him want her to stop everything at once. In the end, the dejected feeling that his sister would never know was hidden within him.

Bai He’s visits to Yue Mansion increased in frequency. Every time, he would bring gifts to his sister, with the two maids helping him take care of them: the special nutrients that were added to her food, the balm for her bruises that he told the maids to apply on her, the cosmetics to make her even more beautiful.

A brother who sulked and moped, seeking attention from his sister, was an unforgivable brother! Brother kept his every action a secret from then on.

“Greetings to first master.”

“Shh.”

The tall form of the Bai family’s first master appeared in Yue Mansion late at night. Bai Yu’s two maids curtsied to Bai He in front of Meihua Building. They were calm, acting as if it was a normal occurrence for them to welcome a guest at such a time.

“Miss is asleep.” Xiao Xi lowered her voice, as Bai He wished.

“I have troubled you both.”

“No, not at all, master.”

Bai He slightly smiled before walking into his mother’s former place of residence. He headed to his sister’s room, which was covered in darkness. The eyes of a martial artist such as him were not troubled by that darkness at all. His sight was clear as day as he silenced his footsteps so as not to wake the sleeping person.

The fragrance of incense filled the room. He picked this fragrance himself, intending for it to be lit while his sister was sleeping.

To let her sleep soundly and regain strength to continue kicking and punching their grandfather’s magic dummy the next day.

His large hand stroked her head as a gentle smile lit on his lips.

“Mmm...” Bai Yu moved, finding a more comfortable position to sleep while her eyes were still closed. She took his hand to her cheek and continued to sleep with a slight curve in the corner of her mouth. “Sweet dream, dear sister.”

Lately, his time was mostly spent handling the matter regarding Da Chu’s spies, and so he did not have a good opportunity to visit his sister. Bai He chose the time after he finished his mission to come here, late at night, to see his sister while she was sleeping in order to confirm her wellbeing.

No matter how hectic his life was, he wanted to see his sister’s growth into a stronger and more beautiful young woman with his own eyes, especially when he was this close to her. Those pictures of her progress were within Bai He’s sight.

Not one thing escaped, not even the special relationship between her and the commander-general that troubled him.

It was true that Bai Yu’s interest in Ouyang Mingxian had lessened. He respected her decision without questioning the reasoning behind it. Still, the closeness she had with Ouyang Feilong...was more than Bai He had expected.

“Wangye doesn’t like being close to women, then why approach Yu-er so often?”
