On the training ground, Bai An and Bai Hao were beaten to the ground and could not move for a long ti.
Although Bai Di didn't use his full strength, he still beat them until they couldn't fight back. The brothers were panting from exhaustion and sweating.
But then again, although it was tiring, it was satisfying!
Bai Di remained standing, his tall figure as imposing as a mountain. "Did you vent your pent-up anger in that competition?"
The two brothers were stunned.
Bai Di said, "Aren't you unwilling to accept your mother because you still have resentnt?"
Bai An and Bai Hao got up and sat down. They smiled at the sa ti. "We don't resent her. You're thinking too much."
"If you don't resent her, why aren't you willing to accept her?"
Bai An said, "We're just not used to it yet. You have to give us so ti."
The two brothers were too much like Bai Di, but they were much younger than him and had immaturity that was unique to their age, so Bai Di could easily read their minds.
"We can give you ti, but if you're unwilling to accept her, it's useless no matter how much ti we give you."
Bai An lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
Bai Hao endured it, but he couldn't help but say what was on his mind. "Mom has a lot of children. She doesn't lack us. What does it matter if we're not by her side?"
Although Bai An and Bai Hao had not spoken much to Huanhuan today, they would always glance at her from the corner of their eyes.
They saw that Huanhuan was always Clent. Whether it was eating or drinking, she would feed Clent bit by bit. The relationship between mother and son was extrely intimate.
The two brothers were like strangers to Huanhuan. They could not even say anything to her.
The difference was too great.
Bai Di looked at the brothers. "Clent is still young. It's normal for Huanhuan to take more care of him."
Bai An still didn't speak. Bai Hao thought that since he had already said it, he might as well say it all in one go. "Then why didn't she take more care of us when we were young?"
"She had an accident then. She couldn't co back even if she wanted to."
"Since she couldn't co back then, she should never have co back!"
As soon as he said this, the air froze.
Bai An called his brother's na. "Little Bai, stop it."
Bai Hao shut up, but his eyebrows were still furrowed. He looked unhappy.
Bai Di suddenly noticed a shadow moving not far away. "Who's there?" he shouted. "Co out!"
A mont later, Huanhuan walked out from behind the pillar with Clent in her arms.
Unexpectedly, she was here. Bai An's and Bai Hao's expressions imdiately turned extrely ugly.
They wondered how much she heard just now…
Bai Di strode up to Huanhuan and frowned at her. His voice was filled with disapproval. "Why aren't you resting in the house at this ti of night?"
"Clent couldn't sleep, so I brought him out to relax." Huanhuan paused and looked a little embarrassed. "I happened to pass by and accidentally heard you talking. I didn't an to eavesdrop. I'm sorry."
"It's just a small matter. Don't take it to heart. I'll send you back."
Bai Di bent down and extended his right arm, indicating that Huanhuan should sit down.
Huanhuan placed Clent in Bai Di's palm, then carefully climbed onto his arm and sat down. The armor on his body was very cold and hard. It hurt her butt, but she would get used to it after enduring it.
She stuck her head out of Bai Di's arms and waved at Bai An and Bai Hao. "Good night."
Before either of them could respond, Bai Di carried Huanhuan away.
Only Bai An and his brother were left at the training ground.
Neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was oppressive.
After a long ti, Bai Hao couldn't help but break the silence. "Did she hear everything?"
Bai An said, "Maybe."
"T-Then what should we do?"
"I don't know."
…
Actually, the two brothers knew very well that the easiest way was to apologize. With Huanhuan's personality, she would definitely forgive them soon.
But the two of them couldn't say it.
After all, what they had just said was their true thoughts.
They didn't think they'd said anything wrong.
…
When they returned to their residence, Bai Di placed Huanhuan and Clent on the bed.
At this mont, Clent finally fell asleep.
Huanhuan covered him with a small blanket and whispered to Bai Di, "I've let Big White and Little White down all these years. I couldn't be by their side when they needed their mother the most. I let them suffer a lot for no reason."
Bai Di stroked her head gently. "It has nothing to do with you. Fate makes fools of us."
"I want to make it up to them."
"When they return to Rock City with us, you can make it up to them however you want."
Huanhuan was very worried. "Will they be willing to co ho with us?"
"They will." He told her to lie down. "Go to sleep. I'll make you sothing delicious in the morning."
Hearing that there was food, the sleeping Clent suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Bai Di.
Huanhuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pinched his buttocks. "Don't worry, I won't forget your share. Hurry up and sleep."
After Clent fell asleep again, Bai Di prepared to get up and leave.
Huanhuan quickly stopped him. "Where are you going?"
"I'll sleep outside."
Huanhuan frowned. "Why would you sleep outside? Aren't you going to sleep with us?"
"I'm afraid I'll scare you."
"What do you an?"
Bai Di undid the tal armor on his right arm, revealing the mottled scars. "It's too ugly. I'm afraid I'll scare you."
Huanhuan sat up and grabbed his wrist. She stared at the scars on his arms. "How did these scars co about? Why haven't I seen them before? What happened to you?"
She was so anxious that she sounded like she was crying.
Bai Di quickly nuzzled her cheek and coaxed gently, "Don't cry. These are just flesh wounds. Other than the fact that they'll leave behind ugly scars, there's nothing wrong with ."
Huanhuan tugged at his armor. She wanted to see the rest of his body.
Bai Di quickly pressed her hand down. "Don't be anxious. I'll take it off myself."
There was a hint of ambiguity in his words. Normally, Huanhuan would have blushed, but she was too focused on the scars on Bai Di to care about the ambiguity.
Bai Di took off his armor bit by bit, revealing his well-defined muscles and the mottled scars covering them.
Huanhuan was stunned on the spot, her heart aching.
Her eyes quickly turned red. "W-Why do you have so many scars?" she asked in a trembling voice.
