Chapter 840 Last Time... You Ate Too Much?
Various thoughts flashed through her mind. Xu Youning tried to find a way to sleep, but she failed.
She could only open her eyes and stare blankly at the ceiling.
After an unknown period of time, the door was pushed open, which broke the silence.
Xu Youning sat up subconsciously. Sure enough, it was Mu Sijue.
Mu Sijue saw Xu Youning and asked with a frown, “Why haven’t you slept?”
Xu Youning timidly told the truth. “I can’t sleep...”
Mu Sijue vaguely guessed the reason for her insomnia. He took off his coat and said lightly, “I’m fine.” The displeasure in his voice had disappeared.
Xu Youning was still worried. She lifted the quilt and got out of bed. “What happened?” She smelled the smoke of gunpowder on Mu Sijue, and her heart skipped a beat. “You and Kang Ruicheng...”
“You’re right.” Mu Sijue said, “Kang Ruicheng gave me a lot of trouble.”
Xu Youning was about to say something when she suddenly noticed a rip in the left arm of Mu Sijue’s sweater.
“Did he get hurt?”
She tore open the rip and saw that Mu Sijue’s arm was wrapped in gauze. The originally white gauze had been dyed red, and blood was constantly oozing out of the wound.
“It’s a deep cut. You need to have stitches.” Xu Youning pressed Mu Sijue’s wound. “Why don’t you go to the hospital?”
“I don’t want to,” Mu Sijue said casually, as if the wound were not on his body.
Xu Youning gritted her teeth and complained, “The excuse is bullshit.”
She was really anxious, or she wouldn’t say dirty words.
The gloominess in Mu Sijue’s heart was gone, and he looked at Xu Youning leisurely. “Are you so worried about me?”
“... Mu Sijue!” Xu Youning wanted to shake him to wake him up. “Your wound is bleeding. You should be more alert!”
“I’m very clear-headed.” Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning. “If I remember correctly, you know how to stitch a wound.”
Xu Youning finally knew what Mu Sijue was planning. She shook her head hard and said, “I can’t.”
Mu Sijue took the first-aid kit and threw it in front of Xu Youning. “I don’t want to go to the hospital. You help me stitch the wound, or I don’t care about it.”
He was serious.
Xu Youning did know how to stitch a wound, but she couldn’t do it for Mu Sijue.
Her mood was probably the same as that of doctors who could not operate on their relatives.
Mu Sijue took off his sweater, and his movements affected the wound. The bright red blood overflowed the gauze and streamed down along the muscle lines of his arm, which seemed to be very painful.
Xu Youning gritted her teeth and said, “Sit down. I’ll help you stitch the wound!”
Her worry about Mu Sijue defeated her inner fear.
She was like a beast forced to the edge of the cliff and could only jump off the cliff.
Mu Sijue raised the corner of his mouth with satisfaction and sat down on the sofa.
Xu Youning first washed her hands and disinfected them before properly handling Mu Sijue’s wound. Finally, she strictly followed the standard of sterile operation and helped Mu Sijue stitch the wound.
In the end, when she cut off the sutures, Xu Youning’s hand trembled. In the whole process, this was the only thing that did not meet the standard.
Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning and reached out to take the scissors.
Xu Youning dodged and threw away the scissors. She glared at Mu Sijue and said, “How can you treat yourself so carelessly? It’s a deep cut. If you don’t stitch the wound, you may have to amputate your arm!”
Mu Sijue looked at the stitches. With the nearly same stitch length and the proper degree of tightness, her technique was comparable to that of an ordinary surgeon.
The smile on his lips became greater. “You won’t treat me carelessly.” He raised his arm that had just been stitched. “It turns out that I’m right.”
Only then did Xu Youning realize that Mu Sijue deliberately came back and asked her to stitch the wound.
Because he was sure that she would not ignore him.
“Damn it, he is crazy!”
Xu Youning gritted her teeth and said word by word, “Mu Sijue, this is the last time!”
Although she was experienced, she was not a professional surgeon after all. If she did the stitches badly, or if she failed to properly handle the wound, it would cause infection to the wound, followed by unimaginably terrible consequences.
“It’s also the last time for Kang Ruicheng’s men to have a chance to approach me.” Mu Sijue stood up. “I want to take a shower. Help me take my clothes.”
Xu Youning took Mu Sijue’s clothes into the bathroom and told him, “Don’t expose the wound to the water.”
Mu Sijue said, “Help me take a shower.”
Xu Youning stared at Mu Sijue for two seconds and found that he was serious, incredibly serious.
She directly ignored Mu Sijue and was about to step out.
Mu Sijue grabbed Xu Youning’s hand, looked at her, and said, “I have a lot of time and means. Are you sure you plan to waste our time?” He knew best how to persuade Xu Youning.
Sure enough, his words shook Xu Youning’s determination.
Mu Sijue was right. Most importantly, she had seen some of Mu Sijue’s means.
Although Xu Youning was unwilling, she could only pick up the shower head and adjust the water pressure to the maximum. She got Mu Sijue wet quickly, and her movements could be described as “rude”.
But in fact, she had completely avoided exposing Mu Sijue’s wound to even a drop of water.
Halfway through the shower, Xu Youning inadvertently looked up and found Mu Sijue staring at her.
His eyes were as dark and deep as usual. At this moment, there was also a touch of concentration inside, which made him look particularly... affectionate.
The bathroom was obviously wet and warm, but Xu Youning shivered all over.
Affectionate? The word should have nothing to do with Mu Sijue, shouldn’t it?
“I haven’t done anything to you yet. What are you shivering for?”
Mu Sijue’s cold voice resounded from above her head. The words “not yet” sounded... meaningful.
Xu Youning mercilessly poked Mu Sijue. “You’re a patient now. What can you do to me?”
Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning and said, “It’s true. But I can let you do something to me.”
It was late at night, and there was no one around. Mu Sijue just blurted out such a meaningful sentence without any scruples.
Xu Youning’s heart suddenly beat faster. She could only tell herself that Mu Sijue was an abnormal hoodlum. She couldn’t blush or admit defeat.
Otherwise, Mu Sijue would go even further!
Xu Youning thought for a moment and raised her head to look into Mu Sijue’s eyes. She said meaningfully, “I don’t have an appetite now!”
“Oh?” Mu Sijue raised the corner of his mouth. “You ate too much last time?”
“...”
It was no exaggeration to say that Xu Youning had already tried her best, but Mu Sijue could still argue with her with ease.
She had already reached her limit, but Mu Sijue’s blood bar was still full.
“Damn, I quit!”
“Wash yourself!”
Xu Youning threw a towel to Mu Sijue, slammed the door, and went back to the room. She lay down on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and then decisively closed her eyes.
She swore that if she didn’t have absolute confidence in the future, she would never try to act like a hoodlum before Mu Sijue!
Thinking about it, Xu Youning suddenly opened her eyes.
In the future? Was she just thinking about the future?
Before Xu Youning could react, the bathroom door had been pushed open, and Mu Sijue came out wrapped in a bath towel.
By the bed, Mu Sijue untied the bath towel, casually hung it on the clothes tree, and lay down beside Xu Youning.
“Mu Sijue!” Xu Youning glared at him. “Why don’t you wear clothes?”
“I like it.” After a pause, Mu Sijue added, “If I remember correctly, you also like it very much.”
Xu Youning admitted that she would really drool over Mu Sijue’s body. She enjoyed his strong and defined muscles, as well as staring and touching his body.
She even secretly thought that Mu Sijue was a man who was not suitable for wearing clothes.
But when did Mu Sijue notice it?
Mu Sijue said lightly, “Don’t think that you are good at disguising yourself, especially... at some time.”
“...” Xu Youning turned over decisively and closed her eyes with her back to him.
Mu Sijue didn’t mind it. He held Xu Youning in his arms from behind and reminded her. “You still have six days left.”
Xu Youning was stunned, and after a while, she realized that Mu Sijue was talking about her answer to his proposal.
She opened her eyes and dared not move in the darkness for fear of revealing her secrets...
She had no idea what to do.
Dawn soon broke, and it was Aunt Zhou and Mumu who got up first.
Mumu hopped downstairs. Looking at the empty living room, he was suddenly lost in deep thought.
Aunt Zhou followed behind Mumu. Seeing him suddenly show such a look, she couldn’t help asking, “Mumu, what’s wrong?”
“Mr. Mu and Auntie Youning haven’t woken up yet,” said Mumu.
“Mr. Mu came back very late yesterday,” said Aunt Zhou, “so he will get up later.”
Mumu remembered that Mu Sijue had mentioned his daddy’s name on the phone before he went out yesterday.
Auntie Youning was his father’s friend, and he thought Mu Sijue was the same.
However, he seemed to have misunderstood. Yesterday, on the phone, Daddy didn’t seem to like Mr. Mu.
Mumu turned around and looked at Aunt Zhou. “Granny Zhou, if I go home, I will miss you!”
Aunt Zhou had never asked whose child Mumu was, but she knew that neither she nor Mumu would stay here for long. She would go back to City G, and Mumu would also go back to his home.
Aunt Zhou touched Mumu’s head with a smile and said, “Good boy, I will miss you too. If you go to City G in the future, you must find me.”
“All right!”
Mumu nodded. Just then, it began to snow outside.
He blinked and suddenly became excited. “I’m going out!”
“Wait a minute.” Aunt Zhou grabbed Mumu and helped him put on his coat. “If you still feel cold, come back and put on more clothes. Don’t catch a cold.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Mumu agreed obediently and ran out.
It was snowing heavily. Mumu reached out his hand, and the snowflakes fell on his palm, making him shiver before quietly melting in his palm.
It repeated monotonously, but Mumu had a good time. Even his fingers were frozen red, but he was unwilling to withdraw his hand.
Mu Sijue stood in front of the window and saw Mumu.
He was very surprised. Without others’ company, this little boy could actually have fun.
Xu Youning woke up and found Mu Sijue standing in front of the window and considering something. She got up and walked to his side, only to find that he was looking at Mumu.
She asked tentatively, “Mu Sijue, what are you thinking about?”
Mu Sijue glanced at her and saw the worry in her eyes. He raised the corner of his mouth and asked, “What are you afraid of?”
