Chapter 1209

“How does it feel? Does it hurt?”

Baili Xia remained focused on inserting the needles, completely oblivious to what he was thinking.

“I feel nothing,” Guisu said with a neutral expression.

“What about now?”

“…It’s a bit numb.”

“And here? I’ll stick a bit deeper to test this spot, here…”

Guisu frowned slightly, not from the fear of pain, but because, even though there had been no pain before, at this moment, a sudden sharp pain hit him.

A little pain, well within his tolerance, but…

it was too unexpected.

“Does it hurt here?” He didn’t answer right away.

When Baili Xia looked up at him, she saw his brows slowly smoothing out.

Did he just frown?

A warmth surged in her heart, and her eyes instantly brightened with a surprised delight: “Does it hurt here?

Does it?

Guisu, you have to tell me!

Tell me, does it hurt right here?”

“…Yes,” Guisu finally nodded.

He just didn’t understand why she was so excited.

“If it hurts here, it means that when Lu Xuening cut your tendons, they weren’t completely necrotic, there’s still hope!”

Baili Xia got so excited that she brought up Lu Xuening’s injury to him without realizing it.

By the time she realized and sneakily glanced at Guisu, there was still not a ripple to be seen in his eyes.

So well hidden, truly rare.

He liked Lu Xuening so much, the fact that Lu Xuening had hurt him should be a shadow that lingers for a lifetime, right?

“Looking at what?” Guisu indeed had no expression just then.

But now that she looked at him with such eyes, he began to grow impatient: “Are you going to continue or not?”

“I will, I will, just don’t move,” said Baili Xia, pulling herself together and getting ready to proceed.

But why is his large hand constantly moving?

“Hey! I told you not to move, with you shaking like that, how can I insert the needles?”

His tendons weren’t completely dead, his hand could still be saved!

This really surprised her; originally, she thought that healing his hand would take at least a year or even more, and even then, it wasn’t a certainty.

Now, she regained her confidence.

As long as she administered acupuncture for a month and gradually took care of it, within half a year, his hand would certainly recover completely.

He really could get better.

She didn’t even know what she was so excited about, but she was excited.

Good deeds lead to good karma…

pfft, Guisu is no good person, always getting into fights and hurting others.

But he knows gratitude; a person who is grateful, at least somewhere in their heart, must be kind.

“…Don’t move, Guisu, I told you not to fidget, stop moving!”

Trying to hold his large hand, why can’t she keep it steady?

“…” Guisu watched her quietly, his eyes complex.

She complained about him moving, but in truth, he hadn’t moved at all.

It was always she, who due to too much excitement, couldn’t stop her hands from trembling.

To trust someone so unsteady with his hand, he must be extraordinarily brave.

Luckily, he was not faint-hearted.

Eventually, it seemed Baili Xia realized too that the one who was moving wasn’t him, but herself…

She quickly released his right hand, giving a shy smile that seemed a tad awkward.

“I… I might be a little too excited, just wait… it’ll be okay in a moment. I need to calm down; otherwise, I can’t perform the acupuncture,” she said.

She got up and walked over to the window, opened it, and let the wind blow over her face and body.

She sighed deeply, evidently trying to cool down and collect herself.
