Chapter 896: I Will Come to Find You Later

“You can think whatever you want,” Baili Xia saw right through his thoughts as she grabbed the fabric of his shirt, shrugging her shoulders.

“After all, I’m just going to use you for an experiment. You’re all about loyalty, aren’t you? Shouldn’t you repay your debts to others?”

Guisu’s fingers on his left hand tensed slightly, and after hesitating for a while, he finally followed her to a stone bench in the corner of a nearby park.

Baili Xia placed his hand on the stone table and gazed at the hideous scar, still involuntarily letting out a sigh.

To inflict such an injury, the perpetrator must have been so heartless.

Guisu had followed Lu Xuening for so many years; even a dog would develop feelings after so long, let alone a person.

Lu Xuening was cold-blooded, completely inhumane.

But she didn’t say anything more or want to bring up that person’s name prematurely and make Guisu upset.

She simply began to examine him earnestly.

Finally, she took a box out of her bag and looked at him, “I want to try acupuncture on your hand, is that okay?”

“Whatever,” Guisu’s face remained expressionless.

Since he owed a debt of gratitude, he would just let her do as she wished.

At worst, people would hurt him again, or they could chop off his hand.

After all, it was already useless; losing it wouldn’t be a great loss.

Baili Xia didn’t care what he was thinking, she started inserting needles into his wrist.

“It’s going to hurt a bit, just bear with it.”

Guisu didn’t even furrow his brow, but when the sting hit, he couldn’t help but look twice.

Thinking he was in pain, Baili Xia, while inserting needles, leaned in and blew on the spot to ease the discomfort.

“It doesn’t hurt, doesn’t hurt, it will stop hurting soon, I’m just testing your nerves, hang in there.”

She gently blew on the area she was treating with such careful and serious focus that Guisu’s furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

It was really just a slight sting, no more bothersome than a mosquito bite to him.

Was there a need to blow on it so gently?

He wasn’t a child; did she really think blowing on it would make it stop hurting?

However, even though he thought that way, seeing her gentle actions, the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated.

This girl, although she was using his hand for an experiment,

Her devoted manner made him feel that it wasn’t just about conducting an experiment.

It seemed as if she truly wanted to cure him.

But she was foolish, and he couldn’t afford to be foolish alongside her.

This hand was completely ruined, there was no hope left.

Why bother?

After administering a round of acupuncture and massaging his acupoints for a while, Baili Xia finally exhaled and packed up her things.

“Every few days, I’ll give you acupuncture.

Your nerves aren’t damaged, there’s still hope for this hand.”

Turning to look at him, she asked with a smile, “Do you have a cell phone now?

Can you give me your phone number so we can keep in touch?”

Seeing him frown again, she quickly added, “I don’t mean any harm, and I’m not trying to track you or anything, don’t overthink it.”

“I’m not overthinking,” he said tersely, pressing his thin lips together, “I don’t have a phone.”

“Then how will I find you?”

“I will find you,” he stood up, not actually believing that she could cure him; she was just a young girl, after all.

However, her earnest demeanor made it slightly difficult to refuse.

Although he didn’t even know when he had become so soft-hearted.

“In three days, I’ll come to the school to find you, same time as now.”

With those words, he turned and walked away.
