Because Nangong Xu insisted on not using anesthesia, when Baili Xia was disinfecting his wound and removing the bandages, his face was simply too horrendous to look at.
Occasionally, she could hear the sound of heavy breathing.
But even with the pain being so intense, he kept his teeth clenched, not making a sound.
Baili Xia tried hard to remind herself that she was a doctor now, not his disciple, and she couldn't afford to feel sorry for him.
She couldn't cry, absolutely couldn't, otherwise, it would interfere with her work at hand.
So, she fought to stay calm, tried hard to steady her breathing.
Even when his body was drenched in his own cold sweat, she struck up a conversation with him,
"I just came from beating up Leng Yu quite badly before coming here, smashed her face in good, it was incredibly satisfying."
"..." Nangong Xu was still biting down hard, but he couldn't help being a bit curious: "You... can't beat her."
