Chapter 2113

Baili Xia initially wanted to leave, but Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze, unwilling to let her go even for a moment, made her unable to detach herself.

Moreover, someone must always be there to look after Uncle.

When Master returns to remove the needles, what if Master is delayed, and misses the right time?

Let’s just say… let’s just say it’s for taking care of a patient.

“What? You don’t want to stay with me?”

Mu Xiaojiu had already lain back on the bed, his eyes half-closed.

He took his medicine this morning, of course, because Baili Xia was here, and he couldn’t not take it.

Furthermore, as Nangong Xu said, if he doesn’t get better, the one who suffers will only be this girl.

Thus, Mr. Xiaojiu, who always hated taking medicine, obediently took all the pills this time, not leaving a single one.

This medicine… probably contains sleep-inducing ingredients, for soon after taking it, his eyelids grew heavy.

Yet, this rare moment when the girl calmly stays by his side, Mu Xiaojiu doesn’t want to sleep, he’s reluctant to sleep.

“No such thing, Uncle is overthinking.” Baili Xia smiled lightly.

It was obvious his eyelids were fighting to stay open, yet he was still unwilling to sleep.

“Come here.” Mu Xiaojiu’s voice was a bit hoarse, his complexion still somewhat pale.

Baili Xia hesitated a little; truly if she complied with him as always, the relationship would become even more indefinable.

But, if she doesn’t comply with him, what if it makes his illness worse…

“Just come over a little bit.” Even Mr. Xiaojiu has moments of helplessness, which no one would believe.

But now his eyelids are really heavy; he’s almost unable to see the girl’s face.

Eventually, Baili Xia walked over and sat by the bed.

As soon as she sat down, her small hand was clasped in his palm.

The warmth of his palm made her little heart tremble slightly.

Uncle’s large palm… always so reliable, always so reassuring.

“Uncle, you’re not well, sleep more to recover quickly.”

Baili Xia gently nudged, going to pull her hand from his palm.

Mu Xiaojiu tightened his fingers, gripping her more firmly.

“Once I sleep, you’ll run away, won’t you?”

How could he not know what this girl was thinking?

He really wanted to argue, but right now, he’s really too sleepy to argue.

Baili Xia didn’t know what to say, she didn’t want to deceive him, but once he falls asleep, she indeed plans to leave.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to stay with him, it’s just, there are things… that need doing.

“You’re not allowed to escape, not allowed to run away!”

Mu Xiaojiu’s fingers tightened even more, as if silently declaring she belongs to him, and she should never hope to escape!

“Uncle, don’t use too much force, Master said…”

“Rubbish!”

“Uncle, say another curse and I really will leave.” Baili Xia mouthed a little, truly wanting to roll her eyes at him.

Master’s advice is for his own good, yet he’s not the least bit grateful.

“Alright, I won’t leave, I’ll stay here with you, can you relax a bit?”

This amount of strength isn’t good for the body.

If you don’t relax a bit, how can you detoxify?

Though Master said the toxins in Uncle’s body have mostly cleared, isn’t there still some left?

At times like these, even the slightest mishap shouldn’t occur.

Thankfully, the stubborn Mr. Xiaojiu finally listened to her.

He eased his grip a little, but still held her hand, not letting go.

Not long after, the blood pack was emptied, Nangong Xu came to tidy up, then left again.

Mu Xiaojiu gently tugged Baili Xia’s hand, hoarsely saying, “Come up, stay with me for a while.”
