Chapter 501: I Don't Mind Carrying Additional Monthly Tickets 3_1

Baili Xia bowed her head, pausing in thought before nodding to Nangong Xu and walking away.

If she attempted to pay Uncle, he would definitely refuse, and she would be humiliating herself in the process.

Uncle would surely say scornful things to insult her, or force her to pay him in kind.

In any case, he couldn’t stand to see her doing well.

Luckily, her arm had indeed become much more relaxed now.

If things continued like this, she expected to be much better in a couple of days.

“Wait a moment.” Just as she was about to exit the infirmary, Nangong Xu chased after her from behind.

He handed her a bottle of medicine and instructed, “This has a sedative effect.

Take it before you sleep at night, and you’ll sleep especially well.

I’m afraid you might move around in your sleep and disturb your shoulder, then you’ll have to endure more pain.”

“Thank you.” Baili Xia accepted the bottle of medicine, overwhelming gratitude filling her heart.

She always thought that Nangong Xu was the kind of cold-hearted person.

She didn’t expect him to be so considerate.

“You should thank Mr.

Xiaojiu if you want to thank someone.” Nangong Xu glanced at her before departing without another word.

It was Mr.

Xiaojiu who had told her to sleep well when he left.

He almost forgot about it.

As for Baili Xia, after receiving the medicine, she didn’t think too much further.

She was probably thanking Uncle because everything here belonged to Uncle.

Mr.

Nangong was really very good.

He even gave his contribution to others.

If only Uncle was half as good as him, perhaps, she wouldn’t have to suffer so much…

…

At breakfast, only the old man and Mu Lingchuan were at the dining table besides Baili Xia.

Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Xiaoyao were not present, and Baili Xia didn’t want to see them either.

She quickly finished her breakfast and went upstairs to grab her backpack.

As she was coming downstairs, she planned to ask her big brother if he was going to work— she intended to hitch a ride with him.

Once down the mountain, she would take the bus back to school.

But her big brother was not in the hall.

As she walked out of the hall, she noticed a car parked at the entrance.

Leaning against the car door, the slender figure of Mu Xiaoyao was waiting for her, his gaze clearly fixed on her.

Baili Xia did not want to approach.

Right now, she really didn’t know how to face them.

Last night, when Uncle forced himself on her, her second brother broke in.

Did he also witness the scene where Uncle was climbing off her?

Was it awkward?

She couldn’t tell if it was awkwardness or total despair.

Pressure from one man as he played with her freely, and another man who had barged in.

But at that time, she had wanted to call out for his help, his intrusion was to save her…

So, should she be grateful to her second brother now?

But she didn’t even want to say a word to him.

The old man came out of the hall and seeing Baili Xia standing at the entrance, and that Mu Xiaoyao was obviously waiting for her.

But the girl stood still, apparently lost in thought.

The old man paused, then walked over to her.

“What’s the matter, Xiaxia?

Did you forget to bring something?”

“No, I…

I wanted to…”

“She’s probably still shy.” Mu Xiaoyao walked over, suddenly grasping her wrist.

Baili Xia tried to dodge, but he tightened his grip, not allowing her even the slightest attempt to escape.

He held her right hand.

He didn’t dare to even touch her left hand.

“Grandfather, I will take her to school.”

Holding her hand, he immediately walked towards the car.

Even though Baili Xia was still resisting, she didn’t want to argue with her second brother in front of their grandfather, so as not to put him in a difficult position.

Reluctantly, she bowed her head and followed him to the car.

She wanted to sit in the back, but as soon as she took a step, Mu Xiaoyao’s indifferent voice echoed in her ear: “I don’t mind carrying you.”
