Uncle ordered Mu Xiaoyao to protect Baili Xia, leaving him no choice but to bring his own notebook over.
After taking a bath, he stayed in her room, without ever leaving.
She stayed quiet all night. Nevertheless, her excessive silence brought him a sense of unease.
If she wept heavily in bed, maybe he would feel it was more normal.
"Brother, I'm alright. You can go back," She spoke.
Noticing his frequent glances, Baili Xia finally shut her book and eyed him.
When he didn't respond, she even offered him a sweet smile: "I'm really fine."
"... I need to keep an eye on you." He wanted to say that Uncle had asked him to watch over her."
Yet, no good time came for him to mention "Uncle" in their conversation.
He was never good at comforting girls. If she started crying due to thoughts of Uncle, he wouldn't know what to do.
"I'm okay, you don't need to watch me. Go and rest, I'm going to sleep."
