The boy nodded, but kept his head habitually bowed, not looking up at Bai Zhi.
As he moved, however, a bit more of his face was revealed. Bai Zhi then noticed a long gash near the corner of his eye. Blood had already trickled past his eye and down his face, forcing him to keep it shut.
Seeing the wound still oozing blood, Bai Zhi couldn't help but gasp, "You're bleeding!"
She had just taken some Hemostatic Medicine out of her dimensional space when she looked up and saw the boy raise his arm. He swiped at the blood with his filthy sleeve, wiping away some of the grime on his face and revealing his defiant expression.
He'd managed to wipe some of it away, but the bleeding didn't stop; it continued to seep from the wound.
The gash was clearly on his brow bone, yet he remained stubbornly silent. After wiping his face, he turned to leave.
Bai Zhi quickly followed him. "Hey, wait! I haven't treated your cut yet."
