After waiting a long time, there was still no sound. Bai Zhi’s mouth twitched, she had made up her mind to beat Moh Li black and blue in the future, she must do it.
"I’m dead because of you," she yelled outside, and finally, the door opened.
Then she saw a bizarre scene: he entered wearing a raincoat, the kind that was fully equipped. He even had his head covered.
"Are you treating me like a virus or something?"
If she wasn’t clinging to the wooden tub, she would have slapped him.
The worst part was that Moh Li was squinting his eyes, glancing at Bai Zhi and then quickly lowering his head and moving forward.
"No, I just thought I..." Moh Li’s face turned even redder.
This made Bai Zhi feel as though she had corrupted a pure, innocent young boy.
But you have a vendetta as deep as the sea.
Aren’t you supposed to be studying to be a doctor?
"Don’t you think you’re being overly dramatic? Is it just asking you to carry me out? Do you need to dress ? Moh Li, how are you going to become a ’Doctor’ in the future, in front of a doctor, there is no male or female you..."
In fact, seeing Moh Li so embarrassed, she didn’t feel the slightest bit sorry, but instead burst out laughing.
Because it was the truth — if he was embarrassed by this, how would he face other patients in the future?
He knew Bai Zhi always had strange ways of thinking; he knew it, but accepting it was a process, right?
"Moh Li, I’m saying this for your own good."
Bai Zhi looked at Moh Li with utmost seriousness.
Just as the mentor said, though Moh Li was smart, he was too stubborn, sometimes refusing to turn back on issues he believed in.
For example, right now.
The last time when he held her hand, he talked about the differences between men and women.
Now, he had even come up with an isolation setup as if he were avoiding a virus.
Moh Li: "Don’t regret it later."
Moh Li was very frustrated; he was doing all this for her. He promptly took off the raincoat and reached to lift her out of the tub.
Bai Zhi, wrapped in a bath towel, was actually a bit cold.
The moment he touched her hand, Moh Li stiffened.
Really, Bai Zhi could feel his entire body go rigid.
What? Had he turned into a wooden man all of a sudden?
"Oh, just treat me as if I’m wood and get me out quickly, okay?" Although it wasn’t cold because of the charcoal under the tub, she was about to faint.
Moh Li: "..." How could he treat a living person as wood?
"If you don’t hurry, I’m really going to collapse. Are you afraid you’ll have to take responsibility for me or what?"
She was exasperated with him. How could Moh Li be so... so... antiquated?
Upon hearing this, Moh Li didn’t say another word and just carried her out, though he was a bit clumsy. His lips moved, but no one could tell what he said.
"Good," Moh Li told himself inwardly.
"Take me to my room, my clothes are there."
Bai Zhi wasn’t picky anymore, because this was already quite impressive.
Later, Bai Zhi always thought he was a pure, innocent young man, only to find out, ugh, he was a little monster.
Moh Li walked slowly, mainly because he was too nervous. The person in his arms was exceptionally light and barely weighed anything, but he felt she was very soft... different from a boy, needing extra gentle care.
Later, during the days spent in Hell, Moh Li would often reminisce about the naive him back then, and Bai Zhi who constantly teased him. She might say he was formidable, but she would blush upon seeing him later on.
So it goes, you reap what you sow.
Of course, at this moment, Bai Zhi was having the upper hand.
After he carried her back to the room and placed her on the bed, Moh Li was ready to leave.
Bai Zhi suddenly wanted to tease him.
"Hey, you know that I’ve had needles in my body and underwent surgery, I can’t move at all. Why don’t you help me change my clothes?"
