Chapter 927

Baili Xia never looked at his face.

Not looking at him meant not seeing the threatening look in his eyes.

Even though she could feel a cold aura constantly emanating from him, not looking made her feel somewhat more settled, “Don’t believe it? Let’s try.”

Mu Xiaojiu grasped her hand, tightening his hold.

It was not until he saw her frown that he, somewhat startled, loosened his grip.

“Uncle, be good, lie down, and it’ll be over in a moment.”

He snorted coldly.

She gently pushed him again, “Letting me see is better than letting them see, don’t you agree?”

He snorted again.

Her heart raced, fearing that he would hurt his voice.

“Be good, don’t be stubborn. I’ll be gentle, I promise it won’t hurt.”

Eventually, Mu Xiaojiu was persuaded by her to lie down, his hand unknowingly clutching the bedsheet.

The moment she pulled down his pants, he closed his eyes.

Baili Xia couldn’t bear to look at him, Uncle in that state appeared nothing like his noble and icy self but more like a scared little creature.

To be this scared of getting a shot.

He wasn’t nearly as frightened when getting an IV.

There was so much flesh, it shouldn’t hurt, what was he afraid of?

Yet, when her fingertips touched his buttocks, Baili Xia immediately felt his muscles tense up all over.

The guy was genuinely afraid.

She took a cotton swab dipped in alcohol and gently wiped it on his buttock.

Her voice was soft and coaxing, “Don’t move later, or you might break the needle, and that would cause trouble if it stays in the muscle.”

Mu Xiaojiu snorted again and was still silent, just burying his face in the soft pillow, not looking at anything around him.

His pitiable appearance made Baili Xia’s heart ache and filled her with affection.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was burning up with a fever of forty-one degrees, and the situation did not permit frivolity, she would have truly enjoyed teasing him.

She blew softly on his buttock, picked up the syringe, aimed carefully, and suddenly, with a heavy hand, jabbed the needle in.

The man beneath her palm tensed up, painfully so.

His long fingers clutched the bedsheet fiercely, his knuckles cracking.

Yet he didn’t make a sound, even though it was clear he was terrified, he still didn’t want to lose his dignity in front of her.

Watching this, Baili Xia didn’t quite know how to feel.

If it wasn’t for the circumstance being wrong, she would have burst out laughing.

It’s just a shot, is it as hard as going to the gallows?

Is it worth all this?

He looked like someone was on top of him, committing atrocious acts.

But she dared not get distracted, having finally pushed the medicine into his body, she quickly pulled out the needle and pressed a cotton swab on the wound.

In an effort to ease his pain, effective or not, she still leaned over to his buttock and gently blew on it.

Mu Xiaojiu lifted his face from the pillow, and when he turned to look, he saw her leaning over him, blowing air for his sake.

The little creature’s action softened his tense heart in an instant.

Actually, it wasn’t that painful, just as she said, it was like a mosquito bite, no different.

He didn’t know why he was so nervous when usually, even if you were to cut into his skin with a knife, he could manage not to even frown.

But the thought of that slender needle being stuck into his muscle was indescribably unpleasant.

He loathed it, utterly and completely, so much so that he wished he could snatch the needle from her and throw it where it could never be seen again.

This long, fine thing, truly…

was utterly nauseating!

And just one glance at it made his scalp tingle…
