Survival

A master with an unpredictable split personality, shou x a righteous disciple, gong. Happy ending, one-on-one romance. Bai Jue, who lived in seclusion in the mountains, agreed to look after a little one for an old friend. He raised the child with all his heart, never expecting the little one to start pursuing someone right under his nose. One mistake, and a lifetime of regret. "Master, please look at me." Being softhearted is a sickness. It needs to be cured. "Master, how many things have you been hiding from me? I'll take the heart demon oath for you." The young man in white wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the battered figure before him with red-rimmed eyes. "Master, look. I can feel it. If you love me, you'd be heartbroken. So you must love me so much. But why won't you say a single word?" As Shen Changjing spoke, tears streamed down his face. Bai Jue froze. This was the second time he'd seen his little disciple cry. "Master, you keep saying you don't love me, so why does this hurt so much? If I hadn't come looking for you, would you have died here?" His voice was full of unmistakable anger and hurt. Both of them looked utterly battered, but just then, in the tearful figure before him, Bai Jue saw the crying child from so many years ago. His anger dissolved in the boy's endless tears, leaving only a helpless sigh and a trace of heartache. He reached out to him. "All right, come here. You're grown up now. What kind of behavior is this?"
