Chapter 1764

Baili Xia didn’t know why, but when she saw Mu Xiaojiu’s wound, tears almost welled up.

Her heart ached, ached so deeply that it surpassed pity for an ordinary person.

However, she couldn’t understand where the pain in her heart came from.

Uncle…

is badly injured…

Mu Xiaojiu merely shook his head slightly without speaking.

This kind of wound is not worth mentioning.

But seeing her on the verge of tears softened his heart immediately.

“Just a minor wound, it’s nothing serious, don’t be upset.”

Beside them, Ye Hua seized the opportunity and quickly explained the injury for Mr.

Xiaojiu.

“Miss Xiaxia, this was the injury Mr. Xiaojiu got when he saved you after you were caught by Lu Xuening last time, have you forgotten?”

The moment he finished speaking, Mu Xiaojiu’s cold gaze landed on his face.

This matter, he had never intended to tell the girl.

There was no need to tell her; he didn’t want her to feel pity out of guilt.

Ye Hua only felt that if Baili Xia didn’t know about this, she would never understand what Mr.

Xiaojiu had done for her.

She didn’t remember Mr.

Xiaojiu, she had no place for him in her heart, and with things going on like this, he felt anxious for Mr.

Xiaojiu.

He wanted to say more, but under Mu Xiaojiu’s intimidating gaze, he kept quiet.

However, what he had said was enough to shock Baili Xia.

Baili Xia stood there dazed, looking at Mu Xiaojiu’s shoulder wound, her eyes reddened with pain.

The wound on him inexplicably hurt her heart as well.

Especially since this injury was because he saved her…

She never expected that Uncle’s care for her would reach this extent.

It turned out that Uncle was so seriously injured to save her.

Yet when she woke up, she forgot him, and he never mentioned a word about it.

Feeling guilty inside, she only felt her eyes slightly moist, and for a moment, Baili Xia felt so bittersweet that she didn’t know how to speak.

“I told you, it’s just a small wound, it’s nothing serious.”

Mu Xiaojiu couldn’t bear to see her sad appearance.

At that moment, he really wanted to kick the talkative Ye Hua away.

Ye Hua gave a light cough and quickly stood very far away, avoiding that chilling aura.

Watching Nangong Xu removing the old bandage from Uncle’s shoulder, Baili Xia finally spoke, “Master, let me help you.”

Nangong Xu thought for a moment before nodding slightly.

“Be careful.”

After speaking, he stepped aside and let her use the medical station.

He was still somewhat worried that Baili Xia had just woken up and might have forgotten the medical skills she had learned in the past.

However, seeing the pleading in her eyes, he softened.

Baili Xia walked over, took out some antiseptic, slowly poured it onto a cotton ball, and gently began to clean Mu Xiaojiu’s wound.

“Uncle, it might hurt a bit, you have to endure it.”

While disinfecting him, she gently blew on the area, afraid that he might feel uncomfortable from the pain.

“It’s nothing.” Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze was entirely focused on her little face.

From his angle looking down, he couldn’t see her big eyes, as they were hidden by her long eyelashes.

Yet those two rows of fan-like long eyelashes made her appear inexplicably fragile and endearing.

His little creature had finally truly returned to his side.

No cold war, no hostility, no grievances or grudges.

Just like that, quietly staying by his side, diligently taking care of him.

Mu Xiaojiu felt an indescribable warmth in his heart, as well as an inexplicable complexity of emotions.

He wanted to embrace her, yet didn’t want to shatter this moment of peace.

When will this affection become complete?
