Chapter 640: Chapter 640 Grandma Also Has a Fierce Side (2)_1

Xiao Muli dared not disobey Situ Xin’s words, so he did exactly as she said and obediently lay down.

After Xiao Muli lay down, Situ Xin started to undo his clothes. "Hey, Baby, you, what are you doing?" Xiao Muli became uneasy when he saw Situ Xin unbuttoning his shirt.

"I’m unbuttoning your shirt to check on your wound," previously, Situ Xin had always taken Xiao Muli’s pulse, but she had never personally changed the dressing on his wound. "I’m worried your wound may have reopened, so I need to have a look," Situ Xin explained.

"That’s, that’s not necessary. My wound is fine." Although Xiao Muli had held Situ Xin’s small hand and kissed her small mouth, at this moment, as Situ Xin was unbuttoning his shirt, his heart was pounding nervously.

It was then that Situ Xin noticed Xiao Muli’s unusual behavior, and she paused her hands, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Brother Muli, don’t tell me you’re feeling shy?"

"Not at all." Xiao Muli still stubbornly denied it at this point.

"Good, then I’ll continue," Situ Xin said and continued her task, watching Xiao Muli’s shy yet desperate attempt to hide his bashfulness, all the while thinking gleefully to herself, "Hmph, that’s for always liking to tease me."

As Situ Xin undid Xiao Muli’s shirt and unwrapped the bandage around his chest, the smile that had been on her face from the rare sight of Xiao Muli’s embarrassed state vanished upon seeing his wound.

"Baby, the wound is just slightly bleeding, I just need to rest a bit, and I’ll be fine. Don’t worry..." Xiao Muli enjoyed seeing the radiant smile on Situ Xin’s face and didn’t like to see a look of guilt on her. It pained him to see it, and it made him feel even worse inside.

"Just slightly bleeding, you think that’s not serious? What do you think would count as serious then?" Situ Xin glared at Xiao Muli, her eyes full of distress. She knew that this man had ended up like this because of her, due to his worry for her.

"I was wrong, I misspoke," Xiao Muli surrendered to Situ Xin, earning himself an eye-roll from her.

"Don’t just say ’I’m wrong’ and then turn around and forget about everything. Let me tell you, you need to take good care of the wounds I’m treating. I’ll let it go this time, but if there’s any bleeding again, or if the wound reopens, then you better not show up in front of me ever again." With that stern warning from Situ Xin, Xiao Muli knew he would never dare joke about his wounds again.

"You girl, you’ve really hit my weak spot," said Xiao Muli, lying on the sickbed and looking at Situ Xin with adoration.

"That’s the effect I was going for," Situ Xin said with a look of triumph on her face, her smug expression making Xiao Muli’s heart itch. If it wasn’t for his current predicament, he would have embraced Situ Xin and savored the wonderful taste of his darling right then and there.

Situ Xin bantered with Xiao Muli, but her hands didn’t slow down at all. She took out a small porcelain bottle containing medicine powder from her Storage Ring, actually from inside the space.

She opened the little lid on the small porcelain bottle and then aimed the mouth of the bottle at Xiao Muli’s wound, sprinkling the white medicine powder evenly over his injury. Situ Xin’s movements in applying the powder were very gentle. If it weren’t for the cool sensation of the powder on the wound, Xiao Muli might have thought that no medicine had been applied to his injury at all.

No sooner had the powder touched the wound than the bleeding spots ceased bleeding at a speed visible to the naked eye. At that moment, if Gao Yong and the other medical staff had seen it, they would undoubtedly have been so astonished that their mouths would gape open, and then they would have snatched the medicine powder from Situ Xin’s hands to study it thoroughly.

With the powder applied, not only did the bleeding stop at Xiao Muli’s wound, but the pain from the tear that had opened up a little due to his excessive movements also disappeared instantly.

Although Xiao Muli was lying down and couldn’t see the change in his wound, his sense of feeling remained, and the disappearance of the intense pain at the wound made him breathe a sigh of relief, saying, "Baby is amazing, the pain is gone as soon as the powder is applied."

Hearing Xiao Muli’s words, Situ Xin silently thought to herself, "Isn’t this made from Spirit Grass? How could it not be effective?" Previously, Situ Xin had been concerned that if Xiao Muli’s wound healed too quickly and became conspicuous, it could bring about unnecessary trouble. Therefore, though she had been using medicine from the space for him, it wasn’t made from Spirit Grass, and she had diluted the medicine she took from the space.

This time, Xiao Muli’s wound, which had almost healed, had cracked open a bit and had even begun to bleed, so Situ Xin no longer had so many reservations and directly brought out the medicine powder made from Spirit Grass.

"Hmph, I really should have let you suffer to teach you that a patient ought to act like a patient," Situ Xin said to Xiao Muli, not hiding her irritation.

In response to Situ Xin’s words, what Xiao Muli gave in return was a sweet smile.

"Knock knock knock." Just as Situ Xin had put away the porcelain bottle used for applying the medicine powder on Xiao Muli, there came a knock at the door, and right after that knock, Gao Yong’s familiar voice rang out, "Muli, Xiao Xin. I’m coming in."

Then, without waiting for a response from Situ Xin and Xiao Muli, Gao Yong opened the door to the sickroom.

When Gao Yong entered, what he saw was Xiao Muli lying on the hospital bed, his upper body exposed in the opened garment of a patient. Situ Xin, who had just struggled back from the brink of death, was now sitting full of vitality on the bed where Xiao Muli lay.

If someone else had walked in and seen this scene, they might have had all sorts of messy thoughts, but Gao Yong, the director of the military hospital and the doctor who knew both Situ Xin’s medical skills and Xiao Muli’s condition, immediately understood what the pair was up to when he saw what was before his eyes.

As Gao Yong was closing the door to the sickroom, he said to Situ Xin, "Master Xiao Xin is attending to Muli’s wound! How is it, his wound hasn’t opened up, has it?" Actually, Gao Yong’s visit had two purposes: first was to check on Situ Xin’s condition, fearing that her high fever might return and the recently subsided fever could rise again, and second was to see Xiao Muli. He was worried that Xiao Muli’s wound might have split open from all the commotion today and complications might arise.
