She just needed to stall for another two hours.
Bai Xianyu rubbed against his chest and softened her expression. âXie Xingyun, can you buy me some medicine? My face hurts.â
Xie Xingyun did not hesitate. âWait for me here.â
Bai Xianyu looked around. There was not even the sound of a dog barking. This seemed to be an abandoned courtyard. She had not taken a closer look just now, but now, it looked a little scary.
Even the soil she stepped on under her feet felt a little too soft and collapsed.
âNo, I want to go with you.â Bai Xianyu grabbed his belt tightly.
Xie Xingyun had no objections, but he took off a robe and put it on Bai Xianyu.
His outer robe could wrap Bai Xianyu tightly from head to toe.
In his arms, only the top of the girlâs black hair could be seen.
Bai Xianyu thought the dressing was very odd. While her face could not be seen clearly, Xie Xingyunâs unparalleled handsome face was well-known.
Therefore, when they were about to reach the bustling city, Bai Xianyu asked him to put her down on a quiet street.
Xie Xingyun put her down and caressed her hair very naturally. His tone was not very gentle, but it made her feel at ease. âWait for me here. Iâll be back soon.â
Bai Xianyu nodded.
The voices of the hawkers penetrated the wall and came from the other end of the street. She could even imagine the aroma of malt sugar and the sweet and sour candied hawthorn.
Speaking of which, she had not eaten lunch yet.
Not long after, Xie Xingyun returned with a few packets of medicine in his hands. With his outer robe removed, his perfect figure of broad shoulders and narrow waist could be seen.
Compared to his previous life, the current Xie Xingyun lacked the temperament of a mature man. Even when he raised his eyebrows slightly, he was filled with arrogance. The only thing that distinguished him from a real young man was his hawk-like sharp gaze.
It was the gaze of a person who held great power and could kill at will.
Occasionally, he would look at people indifferently. There was also a kind of laziness found only in those who had been in high positions for a long time; it had a hint of boredom and arrogance.
Bai Xianyu looked at the packets of medicine in his hands. âThereâs no need for that much, right? Iâll only need to apply some topical medicine and itâll be fine.â
Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows slightly and said sternly, âThese are to prevent colds. You must take them.â
Bai Xianyu felt that this scene was familiar. In the past, if she fell sick from being wilful, Xie Xingyun would also scold her with a stern face.
In the past, she was afraid of making him angry, so she listened obediently.
However, he was most afraid of the bitterness.
âI donât want to take medicine.â Bai Xianyu took the bottle of medicine from him and looked at the words on the bottle before removing the stopper.
Xie Xingyun frowned, âDo you want to fall sick if you refuse to take your medicine?â
âItâs alright. Iâll be fine after I go back and take a hot shower.â Bai Xianyu applied the medicine on her face. The dense pain irritated her so much that she could not control her facial expression.
âDonât be wilful.â
His tone was a little fierce.
Bai Xianyuâs hand trembled as she bit her lower lip. âWhat does my wilfulness have to do with you? Young Marquis, youâre interfering too much, arenât you?â âBesides, donât you know who abducted me from my house? If it werenât for you, I wouldnât be cold and in pain.â
Seeing that the girl was aggrieved again, Xie Xingyun frowned even more. A trace of compromise flashed across his eyes. âThen you should bring the medicine back as well, just in case.â
He stretched out his arm and pushed the medicine wrapped in a paper bag to Bai Xianyu.
Bai Xianyu slowly looked away. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xie Xingyun stared at her for a while and did not say anything. He turned around and left.
Bai Xianyu was stunned for two seconds..
