Chapter 862: Do You Know It's Very Dangerous

Because Nangong Xu insisted on not using anesthesia, when Baili Xia was disinfecting his wound and removing the bandages, his face was simply too horrendous to look at.

Occasionally, she could hear the sound of heavy breathing.

But even with the pain being so intense, he kept his teeth clenched, not making a sound.

Baili Xia tried hard to remind herself that she was a doctor now, not his disciple, and she couldn’t afford to feel sorry for him.

She couldn’t cry, absolutely couldn’t, otherwise, it would interfere with her work at hand.

So, she fought to stay calm, tried hard to steady her breathing.

Even when his body was drenched in his own cold sweat, she struck up a conversation with him,

“I just came from beating up Leng Yu quite badly before coming here, smashed her face in good, it was incredibly satisfying.”

“…” Nangong Xu was still biting down hard, but he couldn’t help being a bit curious: “You…

can’t beat her.”

“Uncle was there, and with Uncle there, she didn’t dare to fight back, so I had a really good time hitting her.” She smiled, her hands never stopping their work.

“…How did you hit her?”

“I went for the face, slapped her a bunch of times, until she cried on the spot.”

Nangong Xu’s face immediately tensed: “She won’t let this go, do you realize… it’s very dangerous?”

Baili Xia couldn’t help it, and glanced at his face.

Luckily he still had the energy to worry about her, but seeing a bit more concern in his eyes seemed to alleviate some of his pain—this tactic…

seemed to work somewhat well.

“Who made me impulsive and gave her a slap?” This affair was somewhat helpless to talk about.

“Think about it, with Leng Yu’s personality, one slap from me is enough to make her hate me to the point of wanting me dead.”

“Since one slap or ten makes no difference to her wanting me dead, then why not hit her a few more times?”

“You don’t know, I’ve long wanted to give her a thorough beating, I just never could beat her before.

After this moment, there will be no other chance that good.”

“You…

do you realize you’re playing with fire, really…

Ah—gentler!”

Nangong Xu, in the end, couldn’t hold back, and grunted quietly.

“I know, I’ve been very, very gentle all along, really.” Baili Xia’s heart ached again.

But still, she steeled herself and slowly scraped the decayed flesh from his wound.

He had inflicted a wound on himself long ago, so for all these days, had he been dragging this injury around while treating her in her coma?

He wasn’t a robot; did he really not feel the pain?

Looking at the wound made her cringe, how much more so for him?

Did this man even know how to take care of himself?

Her eyes began to mist unintentionally, and Baili Xia’s heart panicked, quickly forcing the tears back.

She blinked away the moisture, changing the subject: “Master, you never talk about the past, is it not okay to ask?”

He was always alone, quietly by himself, even though he was with Uncle just like Ye Hua and Leng Yu.

Yet, even though Ye Hua and Leng Yu would occasionally talk, he remained silent and alone.

What kind of life had shaped such a quiet and mild personality?

If he was Nangong Yun’s older brother, then why did Nangong Yun live so gloriously while he had nothing, with only his medical skills to his name?

They were both children of Nangong Xun, not to mention the preference for sons over daughters often found in many large families.

But how come in their household, the preference for daughters over sons was so blatant?
