Chapter 2516

“Otherwise, how could these people possibly hurt you?”

As she spoke, Baili Xia’s eyes suddenly became moist again.

Guilt, a deep sense of guilt, it was her fault that the strong Wu Ming had become like this.

Baili Xia was speaking from the heart. If it weren’t for her, Wu Ming wouldn’t have been so severely injured.

Moreover, even though he was gravely injured, he fought desperately to protect her.

Wu Ming slowly lifted his hand and gently brushed through her slightly messy hair.

He helped Baili Xia tuck the strands of hair behind her ears with such familiarity.

“Girl, this little injury won’t do anything to me.”

After saying this, he grabbed the edge of his clothing and tore it forcefully.

With a ripping sound, a piece of cloth was torn off.

Baili Xia knew what he intended to do, but his forceful action made her anxious.

“Wu Ming, don’t move around.”

Wu Ming looked at her calmly, shook his head, signaling Baili Xia not to move.

He reached out, pulled her arm to him.

He wrapped the strip of cloth around her arm, carefully bandaging the wound.

Wu Ming’s movements were clumsy; he probably had never done such a thing before.

Baili Xia thought he was just like Uncle and Brother, the kind of person who wouldn’t attend to their injuries.

Such people needed a doctor to follow them closely.

Just like how the master followed Uncle; sometimes, Uncle would reluctantly listen only to him.

Yet, here was this tough man who didn’t take care of himself but was carefully taking care of her.

The gentle side of a tough man, that’s what touches people’s hearts the most.

Baili Xia’s heart was touched, and she suddenly said, “In the future, let me be your personal doctor.”

Wu Ming’s hand paused suddenly, his eyes meeting Baili Xia’s, something flickering in his gaze.

After finishing the bandaging, he looked at it, feeling fairly satisfied.

He then took a light breath, his voice carrying a hint of nervousness.

“Do your words count?”

Baili Xia nodded, “Of course they count.”

She didn’t understand why Wu Ming was nervous; this was so unlike him.

Wu Ming pursed his lips, his eyes inexplicably deepening.

In a hoarse voice, tinged with inexplicable excitement, he said, “Girl, didn’t you say that when I get better, you’ll agree to let me kiss you?”

Even though there was some distance between them, Baili Xia could feel the intense breath, making her heart tremble lightly.

Baili Xia’s cheeks suddenly flushed red, and she understood why he was asking if her words counted.

But back then, wasn’t it a special circumstance when she agreed?

Now, asking her at this moment, is it really appropriate?

“Wu Ming, right now you’re seriously injured…”

“This little injury doesn’t affect it.”

Baili Xia was speechless. Weren’t those serious injuries? And yet he dared to say it wouldn’t affect him.

“There are still enemies outside, they could…”

“A kiss won’t take more than a few minutes.”

Baili Xia couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, this guy was too cheeky.

Just a few minutes? Who takes a few minutes for a kiss?

This kind of roguishness was comparable to Uncle’s past antics.

For some reason, Baili Xia always felt that Wu Ming had some shadow of Uncle in him.

Once it was the cold and aloof demeanor; now even these cheeky tactics were so similar.

The feeling was familiar yet distant, making her thoughts drift away instantly.

She wondered what Uncle was doing now? Did he know that she was now in dire straits?

If he knew, would he come to save her?
