Chapter 21 Reunion

  I don't know how it is that everyone knows today is my birthday, when I only filled out one form at the time of enrollment.

  He's always surrounded by many female classmates, and today even the teacher came... Bai's face still wore a gentle smile, but in his heart he had already sighed several times.

  Birthday, for Bai, was absolutely not a word that could evoke good memories.

  Every time I think of my birthday, the first thing that comes to mind is that bloody day a year ago, the night that made me realize the limits of my own blood... but also the opportunity for me to meet you.

  The one-year period agreed upon with the adults is almost up, with less than two months left, which means that in just over sixty days, I'll be able to see the adults again!

  Just thinking about it made Bai feel a little more at ease in his heart, and he inadvertently revealed a faint smile.

  A faint smile, yet the consequences it triggered were far beyond expectation. The women around (flower crazy?) seemed to have their attack power and ferocity increased by several percentage points.

  "Yuan Xuejun, today is your birthday, right? Then don't go home directly!" Flower Crazy A.

  "Snow, why don't you come celebrate with us? You're always either at the library or going home." Flower Crazy B.

  "Xue Jun, we bought a cake, want to eat together? We can also discuss our homework together." - Huā Chī C.

  "Hey, former schoolmate, you're not living alone, do you want to come to my place today? My sister and I will help celebrate your birthday, and my mom has made a lot of dishes." That's the senior, uh, and it seems like her mom is also there.

  "Hey, classmate, come over to the teacher's house for dinner, let's celebrate a bit." Suddenly, there was also a teacher, and Bai felt a certain degree of shock upon this discovery.

  ………………

  Still indulging in the haze, the remnants who found it interesting to feel a little out of sync with their consciousness and body were woken up by the noise coming from the school gate.

  If you subconsciously bow your head and look down...

  Well, it's still beyond one's expectations... Grand? If you slightly raise an eyebrow, expressing your surprise.

  If for the time being you can't think of a better adjective to describe the current situation.

  Although Ruo Can had always known that Bai was a very popular character, he absolutely did not expect that seven-year-old Bai would be so universally adored by people of all ages... and both genders? Ruo Can indeed saw many males among the infatuated crowd.

  If cruelty can't be contained, it will laugh out loud.

  But because he hadn't had such a happy laugh in a long time, it felt a bit awkward, so he accidentally didn't control the volume well.

  Bai was thinking about how to get rid of this group of flower enthusiasts, they wasted a lot of time that could be used for training every day. However, Bai couldn't escape, not to mention that most of them already knew the location of her dormitory. If it weren't for some teachers escorting and insisting that non-resident students can't enter the dormitory at will, Bai might not even have peace in her own dormitory. Thinking of this, Bai remembered that those teachers seemed to be all female teachers!

  Moreover, he might have revealed his true strength during the escape process. Apart from not a few of his classmates being infatuated with him, there were also some upperclassmen who were within this group of infatuations. The adults had said that one must be low-key, and this was the highest principle under the premise of becoming stronger. Therefore, Bai only had the choice to continue enduring this torment every day.

  In short, Bai just had to wait for the fathers or husbands of these objects to come and take away their "long-lost" daughters and wives, and then he could be free. The men's work hours usually ended more than an hour later than school hours...

  There were still fifty-seven minutes and thirty-six seconds left on the clock when he suddenly heard a familiar voice, and Bai reflexively turned his head in the direction of the sound.

  On a big tree over 100 meters away, there is a child who appears to be around 4 or 5 years old from their body shape, wearing a plain white mask that completely covers their face, sitting on the tree and staring at me.

  That person's feeling... is very much like an adult, but his hair color?

  Even with the rendering of sunlight, with a discerning eye, one can still make out the faintly visible strands of hair, which are clearly not the adult's signature brilliant golden locks, but rather a more subdued, shallow gold color, reminiscent of the sunset and new moon.

  Was I mistaken? After all, there are still two months until the deadline set with the adults. Maybe it's because these people have been too annoying and I've been thinking about the adults too much. White let out a soft sigh.

  But unexpectedly, this small action triggered a violent reaction from the flower enthusiasts.

  The crowd of infatuated fans saw their idol, who was originally smiling brightly at a child, suddenly turn gloomy and thought it was that little devil who had provoked their "Yuan Xuejun". Immediately, some hot-tempered children came over to teach that little devil a lesson.

  What a disaster!

  Looking at the situation, even if I'm a bit dim-witted, I probably understand what's going on. However, my current state... isn't that I couldn't take action, but since it's someone else's turf, I should hold back a bit? Before my body has fully recovered to its normal state, taking action carelessly... the certain something living inside me would keep "reminding" me! Hehe.

  If you don't take action, then... all you can do is talk.

  "Bai." He muttered in a low voice, then instantly vanished from his original position.

  You'll know where to find me, right? (But even if you're left behind, you won't discover the expectations hidden in your tone, which are far more than what you think.)

  Then, all the flower enthusiasts saw that when Bai heard the little devil mention a person's name, his entire facial expression changed.

  Yuki-kun has been popular among the female (and male) students of all ages at the Ninja School in the Water Country since he started school, due to his gentle personality, good looks, slightly sad expression, and faint smile that never fades.

  Now, the flower enthusiasts found that after hearing that strange word, Yuexue Jun's gentle expression, which had remained unchanged for years, completely shattered. Although it quickly returned to its usual state, a faint sense of anxiety lingered around Yuexue Jun.

  Yuexue Jun, who rarely directly and firmly refused others in the impression of many flowers, surprisingly definitely and briefly vetoed all dates today, stunning them.

  However, they were still enchanted by Yuexue Jun's rare serious expression!

  After a long time of infatuation with the crowd, it was discovered that "their" Yuexue Jun had disappeared early on.

  After going through almost the same mutual accusations as before, most people went home as usual. Anyway, their minimum requirement was just to confirm that Yuexue Jun had not accepted any of their invitations.

  If all opponents were pulled to the same starting point, they would still have a chance, and the flower enthusiasts thought so unanimously.

  He sat on the top of a tree on a hill overlooking the whole town, waiting for Bai to arrive. Bai knew that he had always liked two places: one was in the trees, where he could feel close to nature; and the other was high up, where he could overlook the vast view.

  Yu didn't plan on waiting for too long because he knew Bai was a punctual person, especially when he knew Yu was waiting for him.

  Before long, Ruoxi felt a familiar aura behind her and slowly turned around.

  "Long time no see."

  Looking at the thin figure standing indifferently in the wind, my originally racing heartbeat had somehow gradually calmed down, "Sir, it's been 303 days since we last saw each other."

  If you notice the direction of the white line of sight, pick up a strand of half-long hair with your right hand and smile, "You were disappointed from the start because of this, huh! Hehe!"

  If he was playing with the golden hair that fell to his shoulders, his hair color was no longer the dazzling golden color like the sun.

  No longer possessing that whirlpool-like famous golden hair, this discovery made Ruo Canshen feel a hint of regret and relief.

  According to Kuzuku's exclusive doctor, Kokonotsu, he was in an extremely high-intensity and 24-hour non-stop incredible training for a year, with his body fully developed beyond its limits!

  Ninth Month said that if this body didn't have the Tailed Beast's partner, and that Tailed Beast just so happened to be the renowned Nine-Tails with its infinite recovery power and infinite chakra, he would've kicked the bucket in less than a month.

  Although it can't be denied that the last nine months have been quite "fruitful"!

  I still remember how gritted his teeth were when he came to this conclusion in September! Ah, what an interesting expression.

  However, Katsuragi also stated that this body can no longer withstand any more physical training, otherwise it may become the last straw that crushes the camel.

  It's said that during this period of time when he was separated from Bai, Ye Zan was always in a state of traveling, and had hardly stayed in the same place for more than three days.

  If he found Bai's face full of self-blame at this time, as if he wanted to commit suicide, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Why the poor expression?"

  "I'm extremely sorry, sir."

  It's not that serious, is it?

  Just because you didn't recognize me at first?

  "This is nothing, normal people who don't have anything to do will dye their hair randomly, it has nothing to do with Bai, and besides, didn't Bai just hear me say one word and recognize me?"

  "So, I'm saying, let's just consider this matter settled and hope there won't be a next time." In fact, even if there is a next time, it doesn't really matter, but if he doesn't make amends, White definitely won't be able to forgive himself more easily.

  "Yes, thank you sir, but sir, you..."

  If he still noticed that Bai's line of sight was lingering on his hair.

  "...... hair color, right?" From that day on, Ruo Can no longer had that bright and sunny hair.

  But this is also good, isn't it?

  Only "Whirlwind Whistler", that hero with infinite passion who can move people, is suitable for the bright and dazzling golden hair, that color would be too sacrilegious to sunlight.

  Moreover, if one does not like gold, gold is one of the symbols of direct blood lineage that inherits the surname.

  "It's just a small side effect of a little practice." Who is deceiving, ignoring the screams of certain creatures in the body! Deceiving people again!

  "What's bothering me now is, 'Hey, Bai, can't you stop calling me a grown-up all the time? It makes me sound like I'm 40 or 50 years old...' This body is only four or five years old, but being called that by Bai makes it seem like it's over 40..."

  It's fine like this, but every time Bai calls him that way, the passersby on the side will look at them with a very strange gaze, which conflicts with Ruo Can's idea of being low-key.

  Bai indeed listened to what the adult said and thought for a moment before saying: "Is that called 'master' or 'your lordship'?"

  Don't you have a more normal way of addressing me? You're making me vomit blood in anger!

  "Whatever." Yuru decided to give up. "Well, it's still better if you call me 'sir' for now, though..." Yuru showed a faint smile, "But that will have to wait until after you prove your results this year."

  He took out a blood-colored crystal pendant and swung it in front of Bai, "You have ten minutes to take this thing away from me."

  Kakaxi's move is still quite practical, if you think about it carefully.

  "Of course, I'll do my best to stop you, so you'd better have a corresponding determination, or else... Hmm, how about it?" Rou said, scratching his cheek. "If you're too weak, just stay in the Water Country! A weak tool is of no use to me." For a weakling like him to follow someone who has been at the center of numerous events for years, there's only death.

  If you hang this pendant on the waistband that can be seen at a glance, turn to Bai with your left hand and hook it, "Come on! Bai, let me see if you will disappoint me?"

  Well, an author's best gift to readers is updates, but since there haven't been any recently, revising the manuscript will have to do!

  I'm really grateful for all the enthusiastic responses, whether they're encouraging me, pointing out my mistakes, or evaluating me. I'm truly delighted by all of them! But what's more, some of the evaluative responses make me feel that the exhaustion from work is worthwhile, not to mention the struggles of writing are even more valuable!
