baili jia jue held helian wei wei's cheek with his fingers then reached out to embrace her whole body.

helian wei wei seemed to have sensed his breath. she tilted her head and buried her face in his chest naturally.

baili jia jue's gentleness had always been hidden inadvertently. just like now, when helian wei wei moved, his head would fall naturally on her black hair as he comforted her by giving her a kiss.

helian wei wei moved again and grabbed firmly around baili jia jue's waist. she was really overbearing in this regard.

she would grasp her belongings tight.

baili jia jue chuckled. with her always misplacing her own position, he could only feel helpless while continuing to overindulge her.

the embrace of the two people reflected on the french window and starlight lit up the entire room. it was beautiful and romantic.

the sky full of fireworks reflected the water-like gaze of baili jia jue as if that moment was eternal.

the next day, the soft morning light beamed through the curtains and a light fragrance of white roses planted outside the villa filled the room.

as soon as she opened her eyes, helian wei wei habitually wanted to have a drink of water. she stepped barefoot on the wooden floor casually and reached for a bottle of cold water. she then raised her head to drink. after that, she wanted to return to bed and continue her sleep.

nevertheless, she was unsure whether it was her illusion. she felt like her hair was particularly long today.

also, the bed seemed to be getting bigger.

when helian wei wei laid back down again, she lowered her eyes and looked at her ankle-length hair. she tilted her head to give it some thought.

in the end, she figured it was not a big deal. she leaned her head back and decided to get back to sleep while holding onto his highness.

after all, it was very comfortable to sleep with his highness' figure in her hug.

however, just as her hand was reaching over, baili jie jue woke up. after seeing her, his deep eyes suddenly froze for a moment. then, he pressed her hand and his voice was a little husky because he was just awake, “are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

“no.” helian wei wei did not understand why his highness had been asking her this question since yesterday. she raised her eyebrows and asked, “what's wrong?”

baili jia jue looked at the figure in front of him and answered with his light voice, “nothing. just making sure you're alright.”

“let's continue to sleep then.” seeming to be in a good mood, helian wei wei hugged him, “let's stay in bed.”

her eyes were closed and her skin was milky white. her facial features were tender as her arms and legs were much skinnier than before. her face was small, with her unique stubbornness. the snowy kasaya dragged to the ground like flowing water, while her soft, black hair dangled on her side, just like a lotus flower silently blooming on the water in the dark night.

baili jia jue remembered the first time he saw phoenix in mountain tenya. at that time, she was also very quiet and had an unsmiling expression on her face, like a little jade carving.

yes, the woman in his arms… had returned to her childhood form.

obviously, this was the consequence of the soul being withdrawn, which then restored phoenix to its original form when she had turned into a human at mountain tenya.

giving her a period of time to read some buddhist scriptures and drink a few bottles of mythical water would help her grow.

baili jia jue had been studying the facts about raising little phoenix since he was in tian dao.

at that time, he was already thinking about taking helian wei wei from buddhism and raising her by himself, not to mention now.

after knowing these reasons, his highness was much calmer. even when he looked at helian wei wei for the second time, a sinister arch appeared at the corner of his lips.

“why are you looking at me like that?” laying in his arms, helian wei wei quietly opened her big eyes which were as clear as mercury. her hair was fluffy and she looked blank.

baili jia jue buried his face in her long hair and smiled lowly, “nothing.”

“i feel like there's something you're not telling me.” helian wei wei said seriously.

baili jia jue raised his eyebrows and asked indifferently, “then what do you think it is?”

“how would i know what you're laughing at?” helian wei wei felt that the moment she opened her eyes, it did not feel right, “is there something on my face?”

with her in his arms, baili jia jue still had an evil smirk on his face, “no, do you still want to sleep? or get up to eat something?”

“let's eat.” helian wei wei let out a sigh helplessly, “i can't sleep anymore with you teasing me.”

baili jia jue agreed simply and carried helian wei wei up with a faint smile. it was incredibly gentle, “what do you want to eat? you can't take meat as you can't digest it.”

obviously helian wei wei was puzzled by this arrangement, “i always digest well.”

“that was before.” after putting her on the chair, baili jia jue bent down and kissed her forehead. he smiled broadly, “you have to be more careful now. drink a gla.s.s of milk first.”

helian wei wei had never rejected food, so after baili jia jue placed a gla.s.s of milk on the wooden table, she picked the gla.s.s up right away and took a gulp without any hesitation.

as she drank halfway, she suddenly stopped and looked at her hand.

it was not an illusion!

her hand became smaller!

helian wei wei stood up at once and turned her head to look at the half-revealed dressing mirror. there was only one thought left in her heart. f*ck! sakyamuni was definitely playing with her!

helian wei wei had never seen herself as a child for a long time. after all, she was a person who disliked taking pictures.

now that she had seen her childlike face, all she wanted to do was to go downstairs and run a few laps in order to stay calm!

what was all this!

no wonder his highness would suddenly ask her to drink milk!

helian wei wei turned and stared at baili jia jue.

the man, on the other hand, did not care about her appearance and did not mind little phoenix looking at himself with resentful eyes. he poured another gla.s.s of milk for helian wei wei and said, “drink more milk, you can grow faster.”

so from the beginning, he had been laughing at her for this!

helian wei wei was depressed now. without talking, she sat on a wooden chair and continued to drink her milk.

baili jia jue looked at her interesting actions and could not help hugging her directly. he picked her up over his head, and the smile on his face was never as brilliant as now, “so cute.”

helian wei wei was lost for words. she had never seen baili jia jue like this. did he like her younger self so much?

baili jia jue was enthusing over her, and why on earth was this happening?!

helian wei wei was right indeed. baili jia jue really liked her current form. after all, his highness had a deep obsession with phoenix when she was a child. before that, he had no chance to raise her, but now he finally could. that very well explained his reactions.

but you don't have to carry me wherever you go right?!

helian wei wei helplessly supported her forehead like a little shami.
