Chapter 1112

Baili Xia finally gave in, sat down, and picked up the medicine.

Fortunately, the medicine smelled a bit sweet and slightly fragrant, not too difficult to swallow.

Without suspicion, she gulped down the medicine.

After placing the bowl down, she looked up at Mu Xiaoyao again, unable to resist asking about Uncle.

“What exactly happened to him? Why hasn’t he come to see me after returning?”

Even if he’s busy, surely he’s not too busy to at least greet her, right?

It’s not that she thinks too highly of her own status and position, but rather, she and Uncle got along very well.

If things are so good, why make things unpleasant for herself?

“Why don’t you ask him yourself?” Mu Xiaoyao was staring incessantly at her face.

After gazing at her for quite a while without any change in her expression, he pulled up a chair and sat next to her.

“Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?”

Baili Xia wiped her face, then turned to look at the crystal vase nearby.

Reflected in the vase was her delicate face, clean, with neither makeup nor dirt.

“Brother, what are you looking at?”

“Nothing.” Mu Xiaoyao shifted his gaze towards an indistinct corner.

Not knowing what else to do, he casually brought up a topic, “How have you been recently? Any problems with your studies that you need help with?”

He glanced at his watch then leaned back in his chair, looking at her lightly.

“Brother, are you in a hurry? If you have other things to do, go ahead, don’t worry about keeping me company.”

This gesture of checking his watch can give the impression that he’s very busy; if he’s busy, why is he still here?

“I’m not busy.” Mu Xiaoyao crossed his long legs, still looking at her indifferently.

“If you miss him, you could call him.”

“I called him before; he always said he was busy and then hung up abruptly. Now that he’s back, he didn’t even call me.”

Mentioning this, Baili Xia really felt infuriated.

Is it that in a relationship, the one who cares more is always the one who gets hurt?

The more she cares, the more Uncle takes advantage of her.

Both emotionally and physically.

“I don’t quite understand all these romantic affections, but, why not lay it all out openly?”

Mu Xiaoyao once again checked the time.

Baili Xia frowned, staring at his watch, and mumbled with pouted lips, “If you’re busy, just go.”

Rushing about and yet staying, what exactly does he want to do?

“I said I’m not busy.” He took off his watch and casually tossed it on the coffee table.

By doing this, he signified to her that he really wasn’t busy.

Baili Xia could never understand what exactly he was trying to do.

Weird and different from usual, it almost seemed sinister.

However, she believes Brother wouldn’t harm her, having this belief was enough.

“By the way, how are you doing with the hacking skills I taught you last time? Let me test you.” Mu Xiaoyao suddenly said.

“Okay.” Upon this topic, Baili Xia’s gloomy mood quickly brightened.

She briskly stood up, walked to the desk, flipped open her laptop, and looked back at Mu Xiaoyao.

“Brother, you set the questions.”

“Okay.”

Mu Xiaoyao walked over and sat down in front of the laptop.

Unafraid of Baili Xia watching right beside him, he immediately started programming.

Having something to do seemed to make the time less unbearable.

At least, it spared her from frivolously dwelling on that jerk…
