"Wait for me here, okay? Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, I'll be back!”White Flame said to Leona and Unknownst Fire Dance.
"Where to?" Unbeknownst to Fire Dance's question, Leona also frowned.
" Picking up a person…" Bai Yan did not say much. His mind was filled with Athena standing at the door with her hands clasped together and shouting at him,""I'll wait here for you to pick me up…"
…………
It was still a quiet village. The thick snow made the village look extremely warm. Occasionally, wisps of green smoke would rise from the chimneys of a few families. It was a tranquil and quiet atmosphere.
When Bai Yan stood in front of Athena once again, Athena felt relieved. She smiled happily when she saw Bai Yan's determined look.
The slightly cold winter made Athena's pretty face turn red. The two of them walked on the snow, and the snow creaked as they stepped on it. All they could see was white and ice and snow.
" The Spring Festival is still a few months away…" Bai Yan said to Athena as he turned his body slightly to avoid the snowball thrown by Xiao Bao.
"Yeah, I don't know what's going on with this year's competition, but it has to be held in winter…The Spring Festival is on January 24th, and it's held on January 15th, which is just a few days away from the Spring Festival. Master has been thinking about whether to go or not…You know, the elderly, especially people like Master, have very strong traditional values.”
" Hehe, it's good that you don't want to go. I don't know how dangerous it will be this time…I'll come and pick you up…Sigh…" Bai Yan quickly jumped and once again dodged Xiao Bao's 'sneak attack', but…Xiao Bao was too despicable. He actually wrapped his superpower around the snowball. The snowball that was going straight immediately turned around and almost hit Bai Yan's head. Fortunately, Bai Yan reacted quickly…
However, what Bai Yan did not expect was that the snowball was once again wrapped in a red light. Athena's delicate hand flashed, and the snowball was accurately controlled, finally hitting the target!
"Yay! He had succeeded! He had succeeded! I'm too amazing!" Xiao Bao jumped and jumped happily as if it was almost the new year. Of course, it was really almost the new year…
Bai Yan patted the snow off his head and looked at Athena.""You're much worse than him."
"So what if I make him happy? Children should be coaxed more!”Athena glared at Bai Yan as if it was a matter of course.
" Alright, alright…" Bai Yan continued the topic from before."Come with me, Madeline said we'll spend Christmas together.”
"Are you here to invite me home for Christmas?”Athena covered her mouth and chuckled. Her face, which was slightly red from the cold, was extremely alluring.
" Yeah, it's a big festival or something. I have to bring my wife home…" Bai Yan chuckled.
" Um…" Athena's face turned red. She couldn't answer him and rolled her eyes at the man shyly.
"Oh, of course. I'll go and find Chong Quan later. How is he recently? Are you still so rude?" Bai Yan asked.
When Athena heard the word " fist worship ", she looked worried at first, then relieved."" He's been doing pretty well recently. He's become much calmer and not as rash as usual. Moreover, he's recovered a little of his superpower…Although it's not a lot, he can still use it a little…But…"
"But what?"
" Xiao Bao's power has decreased by quite a bit. It's really hard to imagine that such a promising and growing child would have such a decline in power…" Athena shook her head helplessly.
Bai Yan did not say anything. He had no knowledge of superpowers, so he could not make any suggestions.
"Mm…everything will get better. Why don't you not participate in this year's competition! Please don't let anything go wrong…"
"Let's wait for Master to make a decision!" Athena pondered for a while.”

In the room…
Gao Quanchong was standing by the window, thinking about something. When he heard the knock on the door, he casually called out,"Come in!"
When Gao Quanchong saw Athena and Bai Yan walking in together, his expression slowly turned serious.
" Fighter…" Athena opened her mouth but was stopped by Fighter.
"Athena, let me talk to him!”Chong Quan waved his hand and looked at Bai Yan.
" Then... Yan, you..." Athena wanted to say something, but she stopped. There was a trace of worry on her face.
Bai Yan gave Athena a reassuring look and pushed her out of the room.
He gently closed the door…
"I like her. I like her very much." Bai Yan looked at the silent Guan Quanchong and spoke first.
"Me too." Gao Quanchong turned his head and looked straight at Bai Yan. Bai Yan was slightly surprised by this state. Gao Quanchong's temperament had changed greatly.
"Hmm…then…what should I do? My competitor?" Bai Yan's tone was serious.
"Competitors? "No…it's not like that anymore…She has already chosen you…In fact, she has never chosen me…" Yan Quanchong's smile was a little cold.
Bai Yan was slightly stunned. Because Gao Wuchong had never admitted this fact, Bai Yan was already prepared to waste his breath, but he did not expect Gao Wuchong to directly lay his cards on the table.
"I know that she has always treated me as a younger brother. There is only kinship and no love!”Quan Chong said silently.
" You…" Bai Yan could not figure out what Sheng Quanchong meant.
"Master has already talked to me…Some things can't be forced. Seeing her well, Master, Bao, and I should be happy.”When Chong Quan spoke, he clenched his fists tightly.
"However, the premise is…she must be happy…Do you think you have the ability to do so? "Although, she already thinks that you have the qualifications…" Chong Quan pursed his lips.
"Of course!" When Bai Yan spoke, his tone was unusually firm.
"However, from what I know, you are powerless to do anything. You can only watch the people you protect die.”An inexplicable smile hung on the corner of Kong Quanchong's mouth. His indifferent tone instantly pierced into Bai Yan's heart.
The dark dream was perhaps the pain of Bai Yan's life.
Bai Yan's aura instantly soared. His purple eyes emitted a faint light, and the air in the room seemed to freeze.
"You want to fix me? Like last time? However…I admit it last time because I was insensible and made Athena sad. I admit that you played well that time! But…what about this time?" Cheng Quanchong took a step back without leaving a trace.
After a long silence, Bai Yan slowly dispersed his aura and said in a deep voice,"You're still as annoying as ever!”
"You too!" He retorted.
With these few words, Bai Yan finally found the shadow of his former self.
"Athena said that I can only have her if you accept her willingly! " This is ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is that I actually agreed to her request…However, when I really have to take responsibility for what I said, I realized that this mission doesn't seem to be possible. To make a love rival agree to my good deed…" Bai Yan regained his composure and controlled his emotions.
"How is it impossible! Your Athena sent her master to talk to me. She even told me countless times! In the end, he almost threatened her with his life! How could I not agree! You're just here to go through the motions!”Kong Quanchong suddenly roared, his face pale.
This time, Bai Yan was really stunned. He never thought that Athena would actually…actually…
"Take good care of her! Besides, I can take her away from you at any time! Even if it's just a small opportunity, I'll firmly grasp it!”Gao Quanchong said hatefully.
"You won't have such a chance!" Bai Yan snorted and turned to leave.
"Besides, you're just as disgusting as before!”Gao Quanchong returned Bai Yan's words. A blue light flashed across his body, and the aura of his superpower fluctuated.
Bai Yan closed the door.
…………
"Thank God, you finally figured it out!”Athena, who was waiting at the door, relaxed. The atmosphere in the room made her nervous.
Seeing Athena standing at the door, Bai Yan stepped forward and asked softly,""Why are you…Why are you…"
"He told you everything?" Athena blushed and lowered her head,""I also need my own happiness…It's okay. I'll take good care of him. Also…he took the initiative to give in. He also knows that there's no result if we continue to pester him like this…"
The two of them were deep in thought, and the corridor fell into silence.
" By the way, that day... you stood at the door and said... hmm... you said that you would wait for me to bring you home... you..." Bai Yan suddenly spoke. His tone was a little stiff, and when he spoke, his face was a little pale. He remembered the woman who was waiting at the entrance of the mercenary group.
"What's wrong? " Don't you know that I've been waiting for you ever since KOF…Damn you, you took a long time to come, and…" Athena suddenly stopped talking. She knew that she could not say anything else.
Athena's clever answer made the woman hiding in the Yata Mirror heave a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether White Flame was touched or grateful after learning that Chizuru Kagura had done this, Chizuru Kagura didn't want White Flame to know. She only wanted to silently show her concern, that was all.
Bai Yan's hand trembled slightly as she gently caressed Athena's cheek. Her eyes revealed an unprecedented determination.
Be it guilt or self-blame, this was a heavy feeling.
That familiar scene, those familiar words, and when he was in such a deep quagmire, it gave Bai Yan, who had been as dead as ashes at that time, a wave of excitement.
Although Athena did not want the relationship between them to be mixed with other factors, and the relationship between Bai Yan and Athena did account for the majority, it was inevitable that in the future, Bai Yan would give her a small part of the relationship that did not belong to Athena.
In the end, it was just a pitiful person's humble self-redemption. Even though it was already useless.
