Chapter 1072: Stop Being Nosy

Chapter 1072: Stop Being Nosy

Junyuan’s hands that were hanging by his sides clenched into fists and the vein on his forehead protruded.

His face was tensed and his lips were pursed tightly.

Xia Mo cursed herself in her heart. He must be in so much pain!

But on second thought, it would be strange if he was not in pain after having hot water spilled on him!

Xia Mo looked at the man whose vein was protruding out from his forehead and she blinked her big eyes, saying cautiously, “Doctor, a-are you scalded badly? Why don’t you go to the bathroom and have a look…”

Xia Mo was reminding him out of good intentions. There was no hospital here and he could only treat himself. The god-like man who was gentle and patient to the little boy, suddenly turned gloomy and looked at her with a sharp and cold gaze. “It’s none of your business what happens to me. Stop being nosy!”

Xia Mo’s eyes widened and she looked in disbelief at the man who was suddenly angry at her.

Did he have split personality? If not, why did he seem like another person out of the blue?

Junyuan did not get angry at Xia Mo on purpose, but her words touched his self-esteem and pride. He had become useless and usually he tolerated everything and kept it to himself. Because he knew that Yanran was guilty about it and if he abandoned himself to despair, it would make her even more upset.

Xia Mo looked at his frightening gaze and felt a lump form in her throat, tears of grievance swimming around her eyes. She did not spill the water on him on purpose. She wanted to wipe it for him and was concerned if he was scalded. Was she wrong?

Why was he so fierce?

So what if his voice was louder than hers?

Xia Mo’s eyes were red and her long eyelashes fluttered but her tears did not fall. “Why are you so fierce? I helped you to wipe out of kindness and it became my fault?”

“Who asked you to wipe? Don’t you know where that is? Or did your parents not teach you the difference between a man and a woman?”

Xia Mo’s lips trembled and the tears in her eyes fell. Her face was pale and she glared at Junyuan with red eyes.

Although she had grown up in the Huo family, the people in Huo family were very good to her and had never been so fierce to her.

After Junyuan finished unleashing his anger at Xia Mo, he saw the tears falling from her eyes and his body stiffened slightly. What was he doing? Getting angry at an innocent girl?

He was useless now, but what did it have to do with the girl?

Realizing his attitude, Junyuan’s expression softened. “I’m sorry.”

Xia Mo was still holding her handkerchief and she wiped at her face with it. When Junyuan saw her action, he wanted to remind her that she had used that to wipe his pants, but before he could say anything, she threw the handkerchief at his face and said, gritting her teeth, “Who cares about your apology? Hmph!”

Turning around, she ran outside quickly.

Xia Mo ran out and saw Xiao Yi who was standing outside the courtyard smoking. She sniffed and after calming herself down, said, “Uncle Xiao, the doctor said that Xiaoxuan is fine. He gave him medicine, but since he can’t be exposed to the wind again tonight, it’s best that he rests here tonight.”

Xiao Yi flicked the cigarette ash. It was dark so he could not see her expression, but he could hear that her voice was slightly hoarse like she had cried. “What happened?”

“Nothing.” Xia Mo sniffed. “Some dust flew into my eyes when I came out just now. Uncle Xiao, if there’s nothing else, I want to go back to the school first.”

Xiao Yi took in a breath of smoke and blew it out slowly. “You stay here to take care of Xiaoxuan, I’ll go back.”

Before Xia Mo could say anything, she saw a beam of light coming closer. Gradually, she could hear the voices of a man and woman.

“Are you cold?” the man asked.

“I’m alright.”

“The temperature is low in the mountains at night. I’ll make you a cup of ginger tea when we get back.”

“Thank you.”

“Yanran, don’t be so polite to me. Also, don’t call me Doctor Wen, call me Ah Qian!”

Before Xia Yanran could say anything, she suddenly smelled the scent of tobacco. She raised her head.

She saw Xiao Yi and Xia Mo standing not far away. The moment her eyes looked over, Xiao Yi also looked over.

The two pairs of eyes met.

From the short distance away, he was staring fixedly at her, his expression strange and his gaze deep and dark.

At this moment, Wen Qian grasped Xia Yanran’s wrist. Xia Yanran was staring at Xiao Yi and forgot to struggle.

Xiao Yi looked away first. Throwing away the cigarette in his hand, he said to Xia Mo, “I’m leaving.”

Xia Mo was speechless. Why were all of them so strange?

After Xiao Yi’s figure disappeared into the darkness, Xia Mo went up to Xia Yanran and Xia Yanran shook off Wen Qian’s hand, grabbing Xia Mo. “Xiaomo, why are you here?”

“A child from the school was not feeling well so me and Uncle Xiao brought him to see the doctor.”

Wen Qian saw that the two girls wanted to talk and after greeting Xia Mo, he went into the house first.

Walking to the door of the house, Xia Mo did not want to go in. Xia Yanran looked at her. “Anything wrong, Xiaomo?”

Xia Mo puffed up her cheeks and pulled Xia Yanran aside, asking, “Chief Editor Xia, who is the doctor inside the house? Does he like you? Is he jealous seeing you being intimate with Doctor Wen? Also, I think he has split personality. He was nice one moment and super fierce the other moment…”

Xia Yanran was listening to Xia Mo when she saw Junyuan coming out of the room from the corner of her eye. She shot a look at Xia Mo and Xia Mo turned back, seeing Junyuan who was standing at the door, she screamed in fright and ran away.

Xia Yanran looked at Junyuan. “Brother, what did you do to her? She looked at you as if she had seen a ghost.”

Junyuan replied faintly, “Who knows.”

…

Because they had to take care of Xiaoxuan, Xia Mo and Xia Yanran slept beside Xiaoxuan at night.

Xia Mo was wearing Xia Yanran’s pajamas. She asked softly, “Chief Editor Xia, where’s the washroom here?” She had walked around the house a few times, but could not find the washroom.

Xia Yanran glanced at Xiaoxuan and replied softly, “The washrooms here are not like those in the city. They smell and the one in Grandma Niu’s house has not been cleaned. Even if you go in, you might not be able to stand it. If you need to go, I’ll accompany you to the mountains behind the house at night.”

Xia Mo hummed in agreement.

…

In the middle of the night, Xia Mo woke up. Looking at Xia Yanran, who was asleep, Xia Mo wanted to ask her to go to the mountains with her, but thinking of how she seemed to be unable to sleep just now, she could not bear to call her since she had finally fallen asleep.

Xia Mo took her phone and went to the mountains behind the house herself.

The night was quiet, dark and cold. Xia Mo shrunk her neck towards her chest and with her heart pounding, found a place where she felt was hidden.

After relieving herself, her face was flushed red.

It was the first time she had not done it in a washroom. She wore her pants and in order to get back to the house quickly, she walked towards the west side of the house. When she was at the corner, she saw a tall figure standing there.

She thought it was a ghost and was about to scream when a hand covered her mouth.

Taking out her phone, she fumbled to turn on the torch. After looking clearly at the man who was covering her mouth, her eyes widened. “W-Why are you here? Are you peeping at me using the washroom?”

Junyuan was speechless. “I was smoking here and was here two hours ago.”
