Bai Xin thought about it and decided that taking Xingxing out to clear her mind could be good.
When Bai Fei and Wu Wa returned to the school, everyone gasped in shock. Why had that devil, Wu Wa, come back?
Gao Liang hurried over with a hefty stack of notebooks.
"Wu Wa, take a look at our notes; we’ve all been diligently taking them. The monthly test is in just a few days, and we’ll try our hardest." So please don’t give us that stern look, it scares us.
"Oh, I’ll look at them. Everyone, go back to class." The school was exceptionally agonizing without Ah Zhi.
The first thing Bai Xin did when she got home was to take Xingxing down to the cellar and then send her for a medicinal bath. The first time had to be at Old Han’s so he could see the effects.
The herbs were boiling hot, but once the temperature was just right, you could sit in it. Submerged in the medicinal broth, immersing for a full four hours.
"Auntie, you should go back. It wouldn’t be good if someone came to the door and saw no one was home. I can manage on my own. Come find me when it’s about time."
Bai Xin thought about it and realized that if it was discovered that no one was home, it could be problematic. Her father had said they needed to be particularly careful recently.
Knowing her family’s situation, Bai Xin quickly left as soon as she was sure Bai Zhi was okay.
At first, there was no sensation, but gradually, the area around the wound started to feel extremely numb.
That intense numbness almost made her want to get up every minute.
Eventually, not sure how much time had passed, Bai Zhi couldn’t resist any longer, she leaned on the tub trying to stand up, and that’s when the pharmacy’s door burst open. Bai Zhi had only one thought: busted.
The next moment, Moh Li, who came in, saw Bai Zhi in her wet, dripping clothes.
Well, Bai Zhi was so thin, there really wasn’t much to see, but Moh Li still paused, his ears turning red.
The next second he turned and left, forgetting to close the door behind him, then extended a hand to shut it.
This guy, running off so fast...
She actually wanted to say that she couldn’t move her feet now, and even her hands were numb from the medicinal bath.
Bai Zhi shouted toward the door. At this moment, Moh Li’s face was still very red, embarrassed that he had seen a girl bathing, how inappropriate.
"I’m here, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were inside."
When you do something wrong, you have to admit it.
He knew that, of course, but only in this context.
For some people, it wasn’t worth it.
"Can you come in and help me? I feel like I’m going to faint."
Bai Zhi was about to lose her grip. She didn’t want to bother Moh Li, but now she understood why her master had insisted on having someone accompany her; her head was dizzy, and she felt close to passing out from lack of blood flow to the brain.
There was a particularly large bath towel next to the tub, and Bai Zhi thought about it—given how Moh Li blushed, she might as well wrap herself in it. But was it okay that she was still wearing her clothes?
What was there to be embarrassed about? She was still a child, right?
"What kind of joke is this? How can I help you?"
Moh Li questioned his life upon hearing this. Was she really a girl? Asking for his help today?
"Junior brother, I’m your senior sister, don’t you see? Are you willing to watch me faint in this medicinal bath and drown? Just roll in and help me out, there’s nothing to be afraid of; I’m not scared.
Besides, in matters of life and death, there are no men or women. If you’re embarrassed by this, how will you ever practice as a doctor?"
Bai Zhi was getting more and more lightheaded; she probably had soaked for too long. If it weren’t for the lack of someone else, would she need to talk to him ?
Moh Li was stunned. Bai Zhi’s words hit him hard. Yes, a doctor doesn’t distinguish between male and female.
But he was a practitioner of Chinese medicine, wasn’t he...
