Chapter 641 Applying Medicine (1)_1
Gao Yong had been opposed to Xiao Muli wandering around before his wound had fully healed, but given the circumstances at the time, even though he disagreed, he couldn’t voice his objections or use force to take Xiao Muli back to the hospital room.
Gao Yong inquired verbally, but his steps already moved toward Xiao Muli’s hospital room.
"I’ve checked his wound, and it’s fine. It hasn’t reopened. The recovery is quite good," said Situ Xin, after checking Xiao Muli’s wound.
Xiao Muli’s wound, which had been seeping blood, had mostly healed under the influence of Situ Xin’s medicinal powder. Now, not even a hint of the wound was visible; just minutes ago, the wound was still bleeding. Fortunately, the medicinal powder Situ Xin applied, made from Spirit Grass, permeated into the wound at a speed invisible to the naked eye, leaving no mark.
At first, Xiao Muli didn’t understand why Situ Xin said his wound hadn’t reopened and was healing well. Though he didn’t understand why Situ Xin would say that, he chose not to expose her, thinking that there must be a reason for her words.
"Yeah, Muli’s wound is healing nicely. That’s the benefit of youth; his recovery rate is impressive. Despite today’s ordeal, the wound didn’t split at all," said Gao Yong, looking down at the wound. With a smile, he added, "He needs just another day or two of rest, and I reckon he can be discharged."
Upon hearing Gao Yong’s comment, it dawned on Xiao Muli why Situ Xin had lied earlier. In fact, it wasn’t a lie; under the effect of Situ Xin’s medicinal powder, his wound had really almost completely healed.
After discussing Xiao Muli’s injury, Gao Yong turned to address Situ Xin’s illness. "Master Xiao Xin—"
As soon as Situ Xin heard the beginning of that form of address, she cut him off, "Hey, can you not use that title? Just call me Xiao Xin." Previously, when Gao Yong called her ’Master,’ she found it uncomfortable, and though she protested several times to no avail, she let it slide, reasoning that aside from making her sound older, it wasn’t a big deal. But now, she could not accept being called "Master Xiao Xin."
"Hey, I’m warning you, if you call me ’Master Xiao Xin’ again, I’ll take back all those medical texts. Don’t come asking me for medical advice in the future," Situ Xin paused before continuing, "Just call me Xiao Xin, not Master." She was determined to correct Gao Yong’s way of addressing her.
Gao Yong was about to make a philosophical point, but silenced himself when faced with Situ Xin’s threat. Resigned, he said, "Alright. Xiao Xin."
