Chapter 1789

Looking at the elegant and noble dark brown door, Baili Xia stopped.

She hesitated in her heart, wondering whether she should go in to find Uncle.

It was already late, would Uncle have gone to bed?

Though she knew this possibility was quite low, she still hesitated for this reason.

Uncle seemed like a very aloof person.

Although he treated her well, would asking him to take medicine seem like she was being too meddlesome?

But what if he really hasn’t taken his medicine…

Not taking medicine with an injury could be serious.

Even if she went back, she feared she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight if unsure he’d taken his medicine.

Baili Xia lingered at Mu Xiaojiu’s room door, and after a long time, finally made up her mind.

She raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door.

“Come in.”

A deep voice came from inside the room.

Baili Xia steadied herself before slowly pushing the door open and walking in.

Upon entering, she immediately saw Mu Xiaojiu sitting on the sofa flipping through something that looked like documents.

He was wrapped in a loose white bathrobe, his hair dripping wet, with water droplets continuously falling from his head.

Baili Xia was momentarily stunned, why did this scene feel so familiar?

In her memories, it seemed there was someone who also always did this, letting their hair dry naturally after bathing.

Even knowing that droplets were still dripping from their hair, they wouldn’t take the time to wipe it.

The inexplicable familiar feeling made her heart ache slightly, feeling sour…

“Looking for me for something?” Mu Xiaojiu’s indifferent voice called Baili Xia back.

Baili Xia regained her senses and faintly smiled.

“Yes, for something.”

Just about to say something, a thought flickered through her mind, and she took a few steps to Mu Xiaojiu’s side.

“Uncle, your wound.”

Without hesitation, she directly reached out to grab Mu Xiaojiu’s bathrobe, pulling it open slightly from the collar.

Looking from the back of the neck, the wound seemed to have turned pale from being washed by water.

Baili Xia felt a twinge of frustration in her heart and said, “Why don’t you take care of yourself?

How can the wound heal if you bathe like this?

Aren’t you afraid of it getting infected?”

Mu Xiaojiu hadn’t expected her reaction to be so intense, and lightly tugged at his lips saying, “This kind of wound is nothing.”

Baili Xia really wanted to scold him; you shouldn’t act cool to this extent, playing with your health!

But thinking back, she seemed to have been told this by Brother just now.

Playing with one’s health…

But she and Uncle were still different.

She knew Brother was there just now, but Uncle?

He was alone in his room.

If she didn’t come, who would know he was so careless with his health?

“Where’s the medicine box?” Baili Xia asked, planning to treat his wound first.

If it gets late and really gets infected, it’ll be troublesome.

“In the drawer under the bookshelf,” Mu Xiaojiu replied indifferently.

Baili Xia immediately walked over and indeed found a medicine box inside.

But the contents were too few, only a few cotton balls and a bottle of alcohol.

There was also a medicine Nangong Xu prescribed for him, which hadn’t even been opened.

No wonder Brother said he never took medicine; this place wouldn’t have medicine anyway.

If there was, it was just for show.

These cotton balls and alcohol must have been prepared because they occasionally got injured during training.

Thinking about it, Baili Xia said, “I’ll go get some medicine.”

With that, she turned and was about to walk out.
