Chapter 1248

Because of unease, not wanting to return home is not an option.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant Baili Xia feels, she still has to go back with Mu Xiaoyao later.

These days, to make it convenient for Baili Xia, Guisu has been going directly to her school to find her.

From the beginning when he just intended to lend her his right hand to play with, until now, he has become completely convinced in her medical skills.

She can really heal his hand; now, he can even skillfully use something as fine as needles.

Of course, not for sewing clothes or doing embroidery—those tasks, he would probably never do even if beaten to death.

He only practiced with her silver needles when Baili Xia was present, following her instructions.

“I will probably follow my master to Bei Miao during the winter break. This is the last time I’m administering the needles. After this, you only need to practice according to my methods and your hand will heal quickly.”

As she packed up the needle kit, Baili Xia still gave reminders just like before.

Guisu’s eyebrows furrowed: “Bei Miao?”

“Mhm.” She nodded, focusing on packing up, not even lifting her head.

She didn’t notice that Guisu’s expression had shifted slightly—he, in fact, looked more serious.

“Why are you going to that place? It’s not safe,” he asked.

In recent days, perhaps it was due to spending more time together, even Guisu has been willing to talk with her.

He used to be someone who couldn’t be bothered to say an extra word.

“Why go?

I can’t tell you that—It’s confidential.”

“Then don’t go,” he said gravely.

Baili Xia was startled for a moment and looked up at him.

His gaze was serious, and his expression had become much sterner as she blinked her eyes: “…Are you serious?”

“Don’t go. That place is dangerous.” It’s not about whether or not he is serious, but rather, it is the reality.

Bei Miao, although it looks no different from Jin City as both are modern metropolises.

However, that is only on the surface.

The systems in Bei Miao are very different from those in Jin City; that place can even be described as lawless.

Various factions train batches of private organizations in secret to consolidate their positions.

Those people, nicely put, are bodyguards; bluntly put, they are akin to ancient suicide warriors.

Sometimes to complete their missions, they would spare no regard for their own lives, let alone the lives of others.

“There… killing someone doesn’t necessarily result in punishment. Understand?” he said coldly.

Baili Xia still blinked her eyes, staring at him unblinkingly: “Guisu, you… are showing concern for me?”

Guisu’s face turned colder, and he looked away, not facing her.

Baili Xia’s lips curved slightly, a joyful smile spreading between her brows and eyes.

“Guisu, not bad at all, you’ve made great progress. You could be a good person.” At least, he has learned to show concern for others.

She firmly believes that everyone is inherently kind, although she would definitely not become a foolishly kind person.

But, if she sees someone who can still be redeemed, she doesn’t want to give up on them.

She initially thought Guisu was a good person because of his gratitude towards Lu Xuening.

She has always said that a person who knows gratitude can never be too bad.

Guisu is a very good example of this.

Now, Guisu even shows concern for her, which proves that he truly has a kind side to him.

Guisu fixated on her smile-tinged cheeks, wanted to say something but eventually, he pressed his lips together and didn’t speak.

Sometimes naivety is also a good thing; since she’s so happy, it might be better to let her bask in that happiness for a bit longer.

A good person?

He never understood what those two words meant, nor did anyone tell him how to be a good person.

Caring is just caring for her alone; does she really think he should be concerned for the entire world?
