Although Xie Shi had not seen a situation similar to Xie Mu’s legs, he knew that the legs had not moved for three years. He had spent every day sitting in a wheelchair or lying down. These legs couldn’t be very good.
But to Xie Shi’s surprise, the scene that appeared in front of him was not what he had imagined.
After the clothes were taken off, the exposed skin is a little too pale, looking like it had not seen the sun for a long time. But the legs were not ugly.
Although they were a little too thin, just looking at the exposed part, the skin was pale and smooth. Xie Shi reached out delicately and couldn’t help but trace his fingers against the slender curves.
He wanted to know what those legs looked like when they weren’t so thin.
“Xie Shi!” Xie Mu can not feel it, but his eyes were not blind. The biggest taboo he had since his injury was to let others see his injured legs; in the past three years, other than the doctor at the beginning of his diagnosis and treatment and Cheng Chuan, no other person had seen them.
He struggled to move his upper body and his slender, pale fingertips blocked the place Xie Shi had touched.
“I don’t want to check now, wait until Dr. Josel comes.” Xie Shi noticed that the man’s mood was off; this was something he rarely could tell.
Today, he had actually managed to make Xie Mu show emotion twice. The youth’s lips curved up slightly before quickly being repressed once again.
On the outside, he was still very submissive and removed his hand.
“I’ll listen to uncle.” The youth acted so obediently it made Xie Mu show a hint of strangeness in his expression. From Xie Shi’s point of view, his tone earlier shouldn’t have been too good.
He lowered his eyes slightly and subtly, intimately put the man’s pants back on. Because Xie M could not move his legs, Xie Shi inevitably had to have physical contact with him in order to put his pants back on.
Because Xie Mu had no feeling in his legs, the youth’s hand stretched down, almost fascinated, touching up along the edges.

The man looked somewhat uncomfortable, but Xie Shi acted in accordance with his words and only obediently put the pants on. Afterwards, Xie Mu felt relieved in his heart.

“Dr. Josel is coming tomorrow,and you can’t stop him from checking it.”
Although his tone was respectful, the content of his words was like coaxing a child. Xie Mu’s face could not help but heat up.
Obviously earlier his nephew was just helping him check out of goodwill. His reaction was too big and Xie Shi might think it a little strange.
But the man was used to not explaining. He barely maintained an indifferent look on his face and nodded, “You go out first, call Cheng Chuan in.”
“Does uncle want Cheng Chuan to help you wash?”
Xie Shi did not listen obediently and leave this time, but instead asked this softly.
The man in bed looked a little uncomfortable but nodded,thinking that this would make Xie Shi leave. However, the youth did not display any intention of leaving. “Let me help you. After coming back, I haven’t helped you even once.”
As he spoke, his slender hand reached out to catch Xie Mu’s wrist, but Xie Mu subconsciously avoided him.
Xie Shi’s hand remained at the bedside and did not move. He slightly hung his head; the man can not see the look on his face, but the quiet atmosphere made him a little uneasy.
“Uncle.” Just when Xie Mu didn’t know what to do, the youth’s hoarse voice rang out. The man was slightly startled and slowly raised his head, his eyes noticing his somewhat saddened nephew.
“I just want to help you.” Xie Shi looked very hurt. The always sunny smile fell and his eyes were full of discomfort.
“You have helped me a lot. I also want to repay uncle, but why won’t you let me do it?” He asked in an astringent voice, “Is it because I’m just this unlikeable?”
“Back then, dad was like this too. He directly threw me to my mother. My mother married someone else and sent me to boarding school. Why does no one like me…”
“No…” Xie Mu did not expect him to be like this; he grabbed at his sheets under him at a loss. He wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say.
“You don’t have to say it, I understand.” The young man’s face showed a trace of bitterness, “Since I’ve returned home, uncle has not said more than a hundred words to me. You don’t like me and don’t even want to have much contact with me…”
His eyes were even reddening, and the man looked very stiff. “Xie Shi, it’s not what you think.”
“Then what?”
Xie Shi raised his red eyes and looked at him. “I only have you as a relative. Why can’t you be closer to me?”
He came forward and sat by the bed, looking exactly like Xie Nanen, but looking directly at Xie Mu with an even more tender look.
“You would rather believe in an outsider and let an outsider help you than let your own nephew touch you…”
Xie Mu stared blankly at the youth in front of him.
His face, his demeanor, his tone of speech.
They were all like Xie Shi’s father..
“Xie Shi.” For the first time in three years, Xie Mu spoke for quite a bit. “It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I was too busy and you had to go to school. Moreover, before you had just come back, I sent someone to pick you up. You didn’t come, so I thought you didn’t want to get along with me.”
Xie Shi’s eyes moved.
When he had just returned to the country, he only wanted to seize back his things. Although he knew that the old man had left him a will and said he would receive power when he graduated, Xie Shi had never skimped on his malicious suspicions.
At that time, he had been a fledgling; compared to Xie Mu, his uncle only in name, he would rather stay with his grandfather instead.
What Xie Mu didn’t want to become close with him? It was he who had not wanted to be close with Xie Mu.
The young man looked up, his pair of eyes full of a tenderness unique to youth. “I was too young. I wanted to come back, but I was blocked, so I thought that uncle did not want to see me.”
Xie Mu froze.
He did not doubt Xie Shi’s words. After all, although the person in front of him was a youth who called him uncle, he was currently even more respectful towards him than when he had power.
The man has lived in the deep recesses of the Xie family for three years. He knew many dark pasts that he did not dare think of. At this moment, when he heard Xie Shi say this, he thought someone was purposely trying to create chaos at that time.
Xie Shi lowered his head, pretending to be uncomfortable. A slightly cold hand gently fell on his head and patted him hesitatingly.
Xie Mu’s cold, pleasant voice fell next to his ear. “I’m sorry, I neglected you.”
The young man’s lowered eyes flashed, and he raised his head, his eyes red.
The handsome man in front of him looked rather guilty. Xie Shi’s eyes moved and he smiled slightly.
“It doesn’t matter, uncle, I forgive you.” He deliberately leaned forward towards the man, as if in need of comfort, and gently leaned his head on the shoulder of an overwhelmed Xie Mu.
Xie opened his mouth, and his clear voice sounded next to Xie Mu’s ear.
“We are relatives. Next time, you can call me over directly.” As he spoke, at an angle Xie Mu could not see, his eyes fluttered and fell onto the man’s legs covered in a quilt. When he blinked, he showed an expression of desire to obtain what he wanted.
[Ding! Xie Shi’s favorability: 59]
Xie Mu reached over stiffly and gently patted the youth’s head, a smile also appearing on his face.
Why this scheme seems familiar (∩⌣̀_⌣́)
Thanks for the chapter<3 And Have A Blessed New Year!!!
Is it just me or am I overly repulsed by the ML this arc? Like the other MLs were scum and I hated them yeah but I didn’t have the extreme levels of revulsion I have for this nephew…….. hmm I guess this could be considered successful? Since the purpose is to hate the MLs and wish for their downfall😂 I’m so looking forward to how he falls😈
Thanks for the chapter~♡♡♡♡
Scum will always be scum haha, but the downfall is the most important and exciting part here~
I also can’t stand him. I think for me it comes from the fact that he stole his uncle’s fiancée, didn’t/doesn’t believe that Xie Mu never wanted all that power and responsibility, is keeping him from going to a better climate, and now wants to possess him. Ungrateful little bastard!
I think it’s the fact that this ml is such a stinking ungrateful little brat, and him taking advantage and not letting go of our poor Xie Mu :/
I feel the same! But I think it’s because the ML feels too dangerous in this arc. As if our xiao mu won’t be able to control him and we worry. But honestly, I very much agree with having this feeling.
…sounds familiar eh? Is our scum ML gonna make sure that the legs are not cured?
Thanks for the chapter~
Thanks for your hard work!
Happy New Year!
This guy… 🤦🏻♀️
I have a feeling that Xie Mu and Xie Nanen (ml’s dad) have a history, if uk what I mean 🤔😁…
Thanks for the chapter!^^)❤
They’re both good at acting
…heh i wonder who’s plotting over whom…ah..
