Chapter 1210

Seeing Baili Xia like this, perhaps even Guisu himself didn’t realize that a trace of unconscious smile had crept up to his lips.

It’s just a pity that the unique smile was something Baili Xia would never have the chance to see.

Forcing herself to calm down, Baili Xia immediately sat down opposite him and took his hand again.

The meeting with Uncle and Sima Liuyue could end at any moment.

If she didn’t seize the time to give him acupuncture, once they came out, he would have to leave.

To prevent herself from getting agitated again, she brought up some other topics.

“How are the people of the Sima Family treating you?

Has Miss Sima made things difficult for you?”

“No.” Guisu was always so sparing with words, only speaking when absolutely necessary.

Baili Xia didn’t mind; she was used to it.

As she gave him the acupuncture, she said, “Now that you have found a good job, you should take it seriously.

Who knows, you might even become a head bodyguard or something.”

On second thought, she shook her head: “Your personality really isn’t suited to being in charge of anything…

Never mind, as long as you’re happy, that’s what matters.”

“Also, don’t go looking for fights every chance you get.

If you hurt someone, their family will definitely be heartbroken.”

He wanted to call her nagging, but for some reason, what came out was, “If I get hurt, will you be sad?”

“Don’t injure this hand.

I’ve been working so hard to heal you.

If you hurt it again, I’ll be more than sad—I’ll go mad!”

She didn’t look up.

Though she was talking, her gaze never left his wrist.

There were indeed some still-intact parts of the tendons, but most were severed.

Without proper treatment at the time, they missed the best opportunity to heal.

But luckily, this time she was truly confident.

Guisu didn’t speak again, clearly seeing her effort.

Even in this early winter, sweat seeped down her forehead.

His left hand lifted, suddenly overcome with the urge to wipe away the sweat from her brow.

But the hand raised halfway, then forcefully drew back.

Women are all the same; all a terrifying species.

You shouldn’t get too close to them, shouldn’t allow yourself to feel.

Once you do, perhaps, death isn’t too far away.

Suddenly, Baili Xia’s phone rang.

Her forehead sweat, which was originally fine, turned into large beads upon hearing the ringtone.

They quickly began to slide down.

“What should I do? There are still a few needles left!” Baili Xia was anxious in her heart, she didn’t even answer the phone but continued to apply the needles to him.

Whether it was nerves or something else, the sweat just kept pouring.

Guisu stared unblinkingly at her face, which was gradually turning red with nervousness and anxiety, watching the sweat trickle down.

…Finally, Baili Xia exhaled a long breath, the last needle was in.

Seeing that Guisu’s sleeve was right beside her ear, without a second thought, she grabbed his sleeve and wiped it across her forehead and face.

Phew, she really was tired, really tense.

“Quick, let’s go, they’re coming down.” After wiping her sweat, she didn’t even realize what she had used to wipe it and just threw it aside.

She hurriedly took out her phone to see, sure enough, it was a missed call from Zimo.

Without a second thought, she packed up the small needle kit and immediately grabbed Guisu’s sleeve, dashing out of the dining room.
