He Couldn't Hold Back After All! Exposed! Part One!

He Couldn't Hold Back After All! Exposed! Part One!

"You little brat, are you trying to rebel?!"

Qian Chengxiao had only just entered cultivation when he heard Chihiro Ji's voice.

When he opened his eyes, he found an enraged Chihiro Ji leading Bibi Dong into the tent.

Bibi Dong, following behind Chihiro Ji, hid behind him and timidly peeked at Qian Chengxiao with half her little head showing.

""

Qian Chengxiao was speechless at the sight.

Seeing that Qian Chengxiao said nothing, Chihiro Ji, who was already angry, became even more furious.

"You were the one who first asked to stay with Bibi Dong."

"It's only been a few days, and you're already tired of the old for the new? She just kicked you off the bed. Is that really worth getting so angry over?"

"You're a grown young man, yet you were petty enough to drive a girl out."

"Even if the Heavenly King himself came today, you and Bibi Dong will go back to how things were before."

"Otherwise, I'll break your legs!"

"You little bastard, do you think I can't deal with you?"

As Chihiro Ji spoke, he pulled Bibi Dong in front of Qian Chengxiao and stared fixedly at him.

Hearing Chihiro Ji's words, Qian Chengxiao's mouth twitched nonstop, and he nearly burst out laughing.

This worried old father was just too uneducated.

Tired of the old for the new? Was that even the right phrase to use here?

He did not have anyone new. Where was the old love?

There were only the two of them in Spirit Hall right now. How could this possibly count as tiring of the old for the new?

This illiterate old man only knew how to worry blindly.

And breaking his legs? Forget whether Qian Daoliu would agree—even Chihiro Ji himself would not have the heart to do it.

He knew why Chihiro Ji was so angry. Though they had only been adopted for a few days, Chihiro Ji had already pinned Spirit Hall's entire future on him and Bibi Dong.

Because of his existence, Bibi Dong might seem to be his disciple, but in truth, this old father, who was either worrying or on the way to worrying, had long regarded Bibi Dong as his daughter-in-law.

He had always wanted to bring the two together, let them form a happy union, and produce children with absolutely outstanding talent.

Originally, Chihiro Ji had worried that Qian Chengxiao would not be able to catch up to Bibi Dong.

But now, a new problem had arisen.

Back then, the way you protected Bibi Dong even scared this old man.

And now? It had only been a few days, and you were already trying to drive her out?

"You little brat, speak!"

While Qian Chengxiao was internally mocking Chihiro Ji for being uneducated and spacing out,

Chihiro Ji saw that Qian Chengxiao had remained silent for so long and asked irritably.

"Yes, yes, you're right!"

"Right, right, you're absolutely right!"

"You little brat!"

Seeing Qian Chengxiao's perfunctory expression, Chihiro Ji slapped him irritably on the head.

"Take good care of Dong Er!"

"If you don't, I'll break your legs!"

As he spoke, Chihiro Ji lowered his head and stared straight into Qian Chengxiao's eyes.

"Got it, got it!"

Watching Chihiro Ji put on a fierce expression, Qian Chengxiao answered with extreme perfunctoriness.

"You little brat, don't take your blessings for granted."

After saying that irritably to Qian Chengxiao, Chihiro Ji turned and left the tent.

At that moment, only Qian Chengxiao and Bibi Dong remained in the enormous tent.

Qian Chengxiao glanced at Bibi Dong, who stood there timidly and cautiously watching him, then walked to the bed, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating.

"If you want to sleep, find somewhere to sleep yourself. Don't disturb my cultivation."

After saying that, Qian Chengxiao ignored her and began cultivating wholeheartedly.

Bibi Dong's heart felt stifled as she watched Qian Chengxiao remain so cold toward her.

Still, at least Qian Chengxiao had not directly driven her out now.

At the very least, they could still live under the same roof, couldn't they?

Thinking of that, the tightness in Bibi Dong's heart eased somewhat.

Then, as Bibi Dong watched Qian Chengxiao cultivating and looked at the bedding he had already laid out, her eyes lit up slightly.

He must have been lying there before. He was cultivating instead of sleeping now because he hated her.

Since she could not sleep while holding him, then settling for sleeping beside him was fine too.

After all, the blanket was full of his scent.

With that thought, Bibi Dong eagerly climbed onto the bed and wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, greedily inhaling Qian Chengxiao's scent lingering on it.

Qian Chengxiao, who had been cultivating, immediately noticed Bibi Dong's abnormal behavior.

Opening his eyes, he happened to meet Bibi Dong's gaze.

She had wrapped her entire body in the blanket, leaving only her little head exposed as she watched him from the side.

"Why are you watching me instead of sleeping properly?"

Perhaps even Qian Chengxiao himself did not notice that his brows had faintly furrowed when he said those words.

"Even when you frown, you're still this handsome."

In contrast, Bibi Dong smiled as she listened to Qian Chengxiao and watched him frown.

In truth, her heart was already blooming with joy.

Only at that moment did Bibi Dong finally understand.

His distancing himself from her, disliking her, and even the changes in his tone and expression all meant that she still had a place in his heart—a very important one.

If he truly did not care about her anymore, he would never distance himself from her or dislike her. He would simply feel nothing at all toward her.

No matter what she did, he would remain calm and utterly indifferent.

Now that he still had a temper with her, it at least proved that Qian Chengxiao had not completely given up on her.

As long as she worked a little harder, there was still hope.

"Do you have some kind of serious illness?"

The moment Qian Chengxiao heard Bibi Dong say that, goosebumps rose all over his body.

After hearing Qian Chengxiao's words, Bibi Dong smiled faintly at him. "Then I suppose I am sick."

"If liking you is an illness, then I suppose I'm terminally ill and beyond cure."

"Cheng Xiao, we've always relied on each other and kept each other warm."

"Before, I was too young to understand what liking someone meant."

"But ever since the day we were adopted, after coming to this unfamiliar place, Spirit Hall, I've understood my own heart."

"Cheng Xiao, I like you."

"No one in this world likes you more than I do!"

By this point, Bibi Dong had risen without realizing it and come before Qian Chengxiao, her hands already cradling his face.

With every sentence Bibi Dong spoke, the distance between their lips shortened by another fraction.

Just as Bibi Dong was about to kiss him, Qian Chengxiao shoved her away.

Bibi Dong's words had caught him so off guard that he had not reacted in time.

Fortunately, he came to his senses soon enough.

Qian Chengxiao narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Bibi Dong, whom he had pushed away.

"Bibi Dong, shouldn't the one you're destined to be with be Yu Xiaogang?"

"Isn't that right?"
