"How does it feel? Does it hurt?"
Baili Xia remained focused on inserting the needles, completely oblivious to what he was thinking.
"I feel nothing," Guisu said with a neutral expression.
"What about now?"
"...It's a bit numb."
"And here? I'll stick a bit deeper to test this spot, here..."
Guisu frowned slightly, not from the fear of pain, but because, even though there had been no pain before, at this moment, a sudden sharp pain hit him.
A little pain, well within his tolerance, but... it was too unexpected.
"Does it hurt here?" He didn't answer right away. When Baili Xia looked up at him, she saw his brows slowly smoothing out.
Did he just frown?
A warmth surged in her heart, and her eyes instantly brightened with a surprised delight: "Does it hurt here? Does it? Guisu, you have to tell me! Tell me, does it hurt right here?"
"...Yes," Guisu finally nodded.
He just didn't understand why she was so excited.
