Why am I the one being won over?

Meanwhile, Jiaoqiu, the biggest fan of the Bai Xiao CP, propped himself up on the sofa with one hand and exclaimed with a sense of "I'm so proud of myself, I feel like my corpse is getting warmer."

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Jun, bearing several teeth marks, emerged from the kitchen carrying a tray, followed by Feixiao, who looked satisfied and beaming with happiness.

"Breakfast is ready, come and eat!"

""Receive.""

Moze and Jiaoqiu pretended to be completely oblivious to what had just happened in the kitchen, and sat down at the dining table to start enjoying their meal.

Feixiao sat down on the chair, intending to lower her head and taste the breakfast Bai Jun had made, but she found that her loose hair was in the way. Just as she was about to tie it up in a high ponytail as usual, the hair tie disappeared.

Bai Jun reached out and brushed the stray strands of hair from her cheek, suggesting, "Hmm... let me fix your hair, so you don't have any trouble at dinner. It should be quick, won't take much time."

How could Feixiao possibly refuse such a tempting invitation? Without a second thought, she followed him to the dressing table in the bedroom.

Bai Jun lowered his head and carefully styled the woman's hair.

The room's light filtered softly through her hair, casting a hazy shadow on the table. In front of the classic mirror, the silver-haired beauty hummed a song.

Feixiao's hair is delicate and soft, with a texture that even the finest silk cannot match. Silver strands slip through her fingertips, and a single strand falls casually down, drifting beside her face.

The beautiful woman hummed an unknown tune, melodious and cheerful.

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at the other person in the mirror, her emotions crystal clear.

Bai Jun didn't notice her gaze; his attention was entirely focused on his hands, intently combing the long hair in front of him. Feixiao's hair was thick and long, so it naturally took a lot of effort to style it.

Combing Feixiao's hair was Bai Jun's privilege. She rarely allowed others to touch her, and even the imperial physician Jiaoqiu would only take her pulse when she was treating patients. Being able to comb the hair of this aloof and powerful general was one of Bai Jun's proudest achievements.

Most importantly, Feixiao's long hair feels really comfortable to touch, giving you the feeling of grooming a pet.

Similarly, being able to get so close to Bai Jun is Feixiao's privilege. After all, although Bai Jun seems easy to talk to, he subtly maintains a certain distance from others.

What style of hair would you like to wear today?

"I don't care, just do whatever you think is suitable and convenient!"

Bai Jun combed his hair and asked Feixiao a question, while she simply tossed her long hair aside, revealing her beautiful nape.

Feixiao's inner collar was quite high, but from Bai Jun's angle standing behind her, one could just see some dazzling porcelain white skin, delicate collarbones, and white bra straps.

"Then let's keep it the same as before."

Bai Jun nodded and carefully began to style her hair.

Feixiao quietly admired Bai Jun's face through the reflection in the mirror.

Bai Jun's features were just right, so perfect that the more you looked at him, the more you liked him. Feixiao couldn't take her eyes off him. In fact, from the moment she arrived that morning, she hadn't been able to look away from Bai Jun.

Before Feixiao arrived in Luofu, Merlin's Claw admirers embellished her with fantastical tales, claiming she possessed muscles as large as watermelons and could kill dozens of monsters with a single punch. In reality, however, this fierce-looking Merlin's Claw was incredibly easy to please.

Of course, this tenderness is reserved for only one person.

She picked up the ring Bai Jun had placed in front of the vanity and gently played with it under the soft light.

With her hair tied in a high ponytail, Feixiao looked energetic and dashing once again. After glancing at the time, Bai Jun realized it was getting late after tidying Feixiao's hair. He hurriedly finished tying her hair and prepared to return to the living room to continue eating.

Suddenly, Bai Jun's sleeve was grabbed.

"How about you come shopping with me today? It'll be a good way to clear your head."

It sounded more like a bland statement than a request.

"Sure, if you'd like." Bai Jun nodded without hesitation.

Then Feixiao laughed again, a hearty laugh.

She gently took Bai Jun's hand and put the ring on his finger again.

Chapter 136 The In-Laws' Lovely Muscles (Part 3)

The sky was a clear, cloudless blue after the rain. A cool breeze swept by, and the air was damp and crisp, carrying the scent of fresh leaves and earth.

Some petals and twigs fell into puddles on the ground, flowing with the small streams into the ever-flowing sewers. Water droplets on the leaves reflected the light and shadow of the city, and occasionally a drop or two would fall, causing the leaves to twirl nimbly.

Around nine o'clock, the rain gradually subsided, and people began to come out for some fresh air.

The Earth-Balance Commission Public Office, located in the center of Exalting Sanctum, gradually became lively and bustling.

"... Anyway, due to some matters, I'm afraid I'll be delayed for a few days. I'm really sorry, please allow me to come back to work in a few days."

Standing in front of the desk in the lobby, Bai Jun prepared to ask his boss for leave again with a clumsy excuse.

Today he changed into the casual clothes that Hanya bought for him, and his hairstyle was also slightly different. In short, he changed his high ponytail into a bun. Although there was nothing special about it, he looked much more elegant and handsome than usual.

The evidence is that the frequency with which women around him cast glances at him has increased significantly.

"It's approved. Don't worry about it, and there's no need to blame yourself. It's really nothing to worry about. Even if you miss a day or two, it won't affect the Public Office. The Xianzhou will continue to sail even without someone, just like the arrow of the Reignbow, which will always fly where it's meant to go."

Da Hao sat at his desk, elbows propped on the surface, a calm smile on his face.

He knew the specific reasons were beyond his comprehension as a retired Cloud Knights; he only knew that Bai Jun had his reasons for doing so, otherwise Lord Siheng wouldn't have specifically instructed him recently.

"Hey Da Hao, isn't there a young man named Bai Jun in your branch? Remember to take good care of him. I don't mean anything by it, and it's definitely not about whether he has any relationship with the general. Anyway, that's all I have to say. Just handle things officially and don't let it affect you."

Da Hao always belittles himself as a retired Da Tou Cloud Knights, but he shouldn't be so oblivious as to miss such a blatant hint.

That being said, the procedures still need to be followed.

"Same as always, just write a leave request, but I suggest you hurry, the women in the Public Office are losing their focus on work."

Jing Yan picked up where Dahao Da Hao, handing Bai Jun a leave application form. Feeling the frequent glances from behind, she couldn't help but wonder if the women in the Public Office were too ruthless, or if Bai Jun was simply too irresistible to them.

Hmm... it should be, no, it's definitely the latter.

Jing Yan secretly observed Bai Jun today and thought to herself.

After filling out the leave application form, Bai Jun left the Earth-Balance Commission in less than ten minutes, under the watchful eyes of all the female employees.

Standing on the bench outside the Public Office, Bai Jun looked around, but Feixiao, who should have been sitting there waiting, was nowhere to be seen.

"Here it is--"

Someone patted him on the back. Bai Jun turned around and immediately opened his eyes wide with curiosity, carefully examining her outfit.

Fei Feixiao had a big smile on her face, and a pair of sunglasses that she had somehow gotten her hands on perched on her upturned nose. This created an inexplicable contrast with her overall demeanor, but it made her look strangely cute.

Although the Curio artifact allowed him to ignore almost 90% of onlookers, Feixiao, still in a playful mood, imitated a movie heroine, draping his arm over Bai Jun's shoulder and asking with a grin, "How is it? Doesn't it feel like you're secretly dating a big star?"

"Uh, it does look quite similar..."

Bai Jun subtly shifted his gaze and quickly changed the subject. "Is there anywhere you want to go, or anything you want to experience?"

"I haven't thought about it either... You can choose, either way is fine."

Feixiao was Bai Jun's reaction just now, but his face didn't change. He subconsciously tucked a strand of hair behind his ear, thought for a moment, and answered truthfully.

She rarely engages in anything outside of work. In my memory, aside from handling official duties and practicing martial arts, the only thing she could do to relieve stress was to have a few drinks under the moonlight.

"Is that so? Then let me think about it. The commercial street in Exalting Sanctum is a good place to go, Starcruiser Sea Hub has quite a few entertainment facilities, the scenery near Alchemy Commission is worth seeing, and the snacks in Aurum Alley seem pretty good too..."

Unlike Bai Jun, who was stroking his chin and muttering to himself about where to go today, Feixiao stood to the side, gazing at his profile with calm and gentle eyes.

She only changed her clothes and hairstyle, so why does she suddenly look so good?

Feixiao was filled with this doubt. As for Bai Jun's worries, they were unnecessary, because she didn't care where they went, as long as Bai Jun was with her.

"Alright, stop standing here thinking, let's get moving, and leave the rest to fate."

Suddenly, Feixiao reached out and took Bai Jun's hand, their skin pressed together, their fingers intertwined.

Bai Jun felt the touch of her palm and soft fingers, and his expression was somewhat surprised.

Although Feixiao immediately stepped forward to cover it up, it was still clear that a blush, like a flower, bloomed on her fair cheeks.

The world, which was originally in turmoil, seemed to stand still at this moment.

I felt like everyone's eyes were on me.

No, both of them are wearing Curio, so this is just an illusion, it must be!

Keeping the other party firmly under one's control—that should be Feixiao's style.

"Tch, just holding hands? Ugh, you two idiots, am I watching a love story about our parents? Especially Feixiao, she's never this innocent when she's just joking around, but she always turns timid at crucial moments. If it were me, I would have done this and that... Anyway, I would have won over that Bai Jun kid!"

Feixiao took Bai Jun's hand and walked forward.

Hidden in the shadows on a corner of the street, Jiaoqiu stared intently at the scene in the distance, clenching his trembling fists and muttering to himself with a sense of disappointment and frustration.

"What on earth have you been saying all this time, and what's with that outfit of yours...?"

Moze sighed softly, explaining that Jiaoqiu was wearing a full-face mask and sunglasses, and from a distance, she looked exactly like a henchman who secretly took photos of celebrities' private moments. To be honest, Moze felt a little embarrassed.

"What's with the outfit? It's just for the atmosphere, don't worry about it too much."

Jiaoqiu's gaze lingered on the two figures in the distance, and he waved without turning his head.

"Is it really appropriate for us to secretly follow behind? Didn't the General specifically warn us not to do that?"

"Hey, you idiot, she's probably just shy. Besides, are you really going to let this golden opportunity slip by? And if those two blockheads don't do well, we can smooth things over and give them a chance."

"What you said, well, I admit you have a point."

Moze thought Jiaoqiu's words were absolutely right, so he also bent down and furtively peered at the distant scenery.

Neither of them wore Curio to conceal their presence. Due to his professional habits, Moze's presence was relatively weak, and even though he wasn't deliberately concealing his aura, he was not easily detected by ordinary people.

The problem is that Jiaoqiu doesn't seem to know how to keep quiet. Its bright presence is like a light bulb standing in the street, meaning that every move it makes from the beginning has been clearly seen by passersby.

The idle passersby gathered together, pointing and whispering among themselves at Jiaoqiu, who was dressed in strange clothes, and Moze beside him.

"Wow, are those two gay? They're arm in arm, it's disgusting..."

"Should I go to the Earth-Balance Commission and report this matter?"

"Judging by their attire, they don't seem like good people. If you ask me, we should hurry and call the Cloud Cavalry; I feel like they could just shoot those two."

Jiaoqiu and Moze frowned as if sensing something, and both looked in the direction of the gossiping group.

Seeing that things had changed, the passersby became wary, muttering things like, "Those two are looking over here," "Damn, they're strong," and "How disgusting," and all backed away.

Seeing that Bai Jun had already Feixiao far away, Jiaoqiu and Moze exchanged a glance, ignored the pointing and whispering of passersby, and quickly followed after him.

On the other side of the street, diagonally opposite where Jiaoqiu and the other person were, by the window of a coffee shop, the two Foxkin faced similar yet completely different troubles.

"Ahhhh, they actually held hands like that! I've never even held my benefactor's hand before... Shameless, utterly shameless!"

Tingyun watched that scene from afar, clutching its Tail, and let out a mournful cry of resentment.

This morning she had intended to get there first and take her benefactor away before Feixiao, but she never expected that Feixiao's two advisors would be waiting at the door before her.

And one was standing at the doorway, and the other was standing on the eaves, even though it was raining so hard!

"I... is this really not a good thing we're doing...?"

When Yukong heard that Tingyun wanted to secretly monitor Bai Jun and Feixiao's date, he was greatly shaken.

She had been tossing and turning all night, staring at her chat history with Feixiao from a while back. "Younger man, ran away from Yaoqing to Luofu a couple of years ago, very handsome, gentle yet arrogant..." She was also racking her brains trying to figure out why she hadn't guessed sooner that the "little lover" Fei Xiao was referring to was Bai Jun.

Now, upon hearing of Tingyun's plan, she appeared unusually hesitant, standing there motionless.

"If our benefactor's relationship with that general changes without us realizing it, wouldn't Lady Yukong feel regret? Are you really willing to let our benefactor go?!"

Tingyun, having abandoned her timid attitude from yesterday, raised the question with a serious, or rather, unwilling look in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yukong pounded and her eyes trembled... In the end, she was persuaded. She silently raised a hand and placed it on her chest, nodding reluctantly in agreement.

"Okay, alright, but you also need to be careful not to be too impulsive..."

"They've gone far away, Lady Yukong, let's hurry and set off!"

Noticing the commotion in the distance, Tingyun shouted and rushed out of the coffee shop first.

"But, but that also..."

Yukong gazed at Feixiao's retreating figure, her face showing a look of deep remorse, but she was quickly pulled away by Tingyun, who took her hand and led her outside.

Walking along the bustling streets, weaving through the throngs of people.

Feixiao was in a great mood, better than ever before. Strolling through the streets, he felt completely at ease. The city was clean and refreshing after the rain, and the sharp edges of all the buildings and the light were softened. The two chatted as they walked towards the bustling area.

At first, this casual conversation was just to avoid an awkward atmosphere, but now Feixiao enjoys listening to these everyday trivia.

"By the way, has your health returned to normal?"

"Yes, there haven't been any problems for a long time."
