Chapter 469: I'll be gentle don't scream 02_1

The entire process of applying the medicinal alcohol didn’t take long.

In order to make the medication work better, Mu Xiaoyao spent about fifteen minutes rubbing Baili Xia’s shoulder.

It was only when the alcohol had all been absorbed into her skin that he stopped.

Looking at the skin that he’d rubbed red and swollen, he started to feel a bit regretful again.

Had he been too heavy-handed?

However, luckily, this girl didn’t cry out anymore, so it probably didn’t hurt anymore, right?

He packed up the medicine box, went into the bathroom to wash his hands, and only then leisurely came out.

When he came out, Baili Xia had already tidied up her clothes.

Unexpectedly, he saw blood oozing from her lower lip.

“What happened?” He quickly grabbed a tissue and went over to her.

He wanted to wipe the blood drop from her lips, but on reconsideration, decided it wasn’t a good idea.

He just couldn’t get himself to do it, so he handed her the tissue instead.

“Why is your lip bleeding?

Are you that hungry?”

Baili Xia felt an immense rush of anger welling up in her chest, wishing she could pick up a shoe and smash it over his head.

What was wrong with his brain?

He casually asked her if she was so hungry that she had bitten her own lips.

Even if she was starving, she wouldn’t eat her own lips, was he a pig?

Mu Xiaoyao also belatedly realized that his question lacked common sense.

After thinking about it, his face visibly fell.

“Don’t tell me you were biting your lip so hard because you were trying not to cry out in pain earlier?”

Baili Xia glanced at him, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

She quietly held the tissue to her lips, delicately wiping away the drop of blood.

Mu Xiaoyao was getting a bit fed up with her.

Since when had she become so obedient?

She was acting so well-behaved, was she feigning ignorance?

She should just yell if it hurts, he didn’t forbid that!

…No, he did tell her not to scream out.

Mu Xiaoyao wasn’t quite sure how to feel.

Seeing her holding back her scream by biting her own lip, following his orders silently, made him very upset.

But his anger was directed at himself.

Hadn’t he been too harsh on her in the past, causing her to be so afraid of him?

Just like Uncle, he too had cast a big shadow in her heart, hadn’t he?

This girl was scared of him only because he had hurt her before.

He wanted to say sorry but he was never good with words.

Besides, he’d never said sorry to a woman before.

However, it seemed Mr.

Mu Xiaoyao had forgotten that earlier when he was drunk, he had admitted his faults and apologized to her countless times.

If he remembered, who knows what his expression would be like.

“Are you still in pain?

If it really hurts, I can take you to see the doctor.”

Sitting on the sofa opposite her, he asked calmly.

Baili Xia shook her head.

It still hurt a lot but Brother’s medication worked well.

After massaging for about fifteen minutes, even her muscles and bones felt a lot looser.

When she goes home, she’ll rub some more medicine alcohol in, and in a few days she’d be fine.

There was no need to make it a big deal by seeing a doctor.

Mu Xiaoyao kept staring intently at her.

The focused gaze wasn’t of sympathy, clearly it was filled with anger.

His gaze was giving Bai Li Xia more and more pressure.

Finally, she couldn’t help but say: “Brother, is there something you want to say?”

“Are you a pig?” Before she could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoyao started to scold her.

However, the insult was light, not heavy at all.

Baili Xia was taken aback and stared at him blankly.

The next second, her eyebrows furrowed immediately: “Why are you cursing?”
