Chapter 77 - 77: Will You Be Sad If I Die?
Xie Xingyun applied the liniment on her without saying a word. His actions were a little rude and unreasonable, pushing her the hem of her dress to her knees.
He held her ankle in his hand. His other hand looked savage, but he was also gentle when he was doing it.
Bai Xianyu did not resist. She only stared at his cold face and said, “I hate it when you are like this.”
Xie Xingyun froze.
“You don’t say anything. You always have a cold face,” she said softly. “You’re like ice. No one can guess what you’re thinking.”
She had seen Xie Xingyun like this too many times and had long lost that sense of accomplishment from pulling the flower of the high ridge down from the altar. In the past, when she saw him like this, she would feel that she had made him unhappy.
Now, even if she made him unhappy, she also did not care.
The bonfire was burning brightly, and the room was warm.
Bai Xianyu pulled her leg out from under him and took a bandage from her bag to wrap it twice.
It was not a serious injury, just a sprain. The medicine Bai Li gave her was expensive to begin with. Later on, the one that Xie Xingyun applied on her was not bad either. Bai Xianyu did not feel much pain anymore.
Xie Xingyun’s tall figure stood in front of her like a mountain. The flames lengthened his shadow all the way to the other side of the room.
His voice was a little hoarse. “What did I do wrong?”
Bai Xianyu said casually, “No, I just don’t like you being like this.”
“I don’t like it.”
Therefore, everything he did was wrong.
Xie Xingyun felt as if his heart was being clenched by a large hand. He even held his breath.
He looked at Bai Xianyu’s lively eyes and had the urge to confess that he already knew that she had been reborn.
But he understood it too.
Bai Xianyu really did not want to have anything to do with him anymore.
It was not out of spite, nor was it an act. It was just as she had said, she simply did not like him anymore.
Even if he brought her to Buddha Temple, it would be superfluous.
Even if she admitted that she was the reborn Bai Xianyu, what could he change?
Bai Xianyu’s eyes gradually lit up. Xie Xingyun turned around and left. Without any cover, the candlelight and silver moonlight shone on her face.
At this moment, she realized that there were patches of blood on Xie Xingyun’s clean inner clothes.
It was the mark of the knife.
There was also the wound she had accidentally torn in the afternoon.
Bai Xianyu’s eyes flickered as she called out to him, “The wound on your back…”
Xie Xingyun paused and subconsciously held his breath.
“… It has split open. You should apply some medicine yourself.” She picked up the medicine bottle placed on her robe.
Xie Xingyun did not turn around. Although he wanted to remain calm, his voice was still a little low. “Will you help me?”
Bai Xianyu frowned. She had already reached her limit by reminding him to apply the medicine.
“I’ll leave it here. If you don’t apply the medicine, prepare to die from the pain.” She threw the jade bottle to the man standing in the middle of the room.
Xie Xingyun caught it and said slowly, “Will you be sad if I die like this?”
Bai Xianyu felt that there was no need to answer this question seriously at all.
She replied casually, “I don’t know. You can try.”
In the middle of the night, Bai Xianyu woke up from the cold.
She put her hand, which had almost frozen into a popsicle, under the covers.
Wisps of moonlight seeped through the wooden boards and hit the ground.
The branches burned out, and no one added more. The bonfire in front of her had gone out at some point.
The howling wind and wolf howls intertwined, making people feel uneasy.
Bai Xianyu felt that something was wrong. She opened her eyes and sat up. She looked around and realized that Xie Xingyun was still sitting on the ground. His eyelids were closed and his face was abnormally pale..
