Chapter 1260

“It’s all okay, whatever… Girl, if you want to cry, just cry. But let this be the last time you cry for him.”

The wind in the stone forest wasn’t very strong, but it was still quite chilly.

Even though she put on Mu Xiaoyao’s jacket, after sitting at the edge of the stone forest for more than an hour, Baili Xia was still frozen.

When she came to her senses, her hands and feet were ice-cold.

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t say anything, he just quietly sat by her side, facing the direction of the wind.

It turned out that her brother had been using his tall frame to shield her from the wind all along.

Baili Xia adjusted the coat she was wearing and stood up, leaning on a stone.

She had been sitting for too long, and her legs were numb when she got up.

If Mu Xiaoyao hadn’t helped support her, she would have had a hard time getting up on her own.

“Let’s go back, I still have something to discuss with Shifu,” she said.

“Talk to him, and have him take you to Bei Miao?” Mu Xiaoyao gave her a glance, supporting her elbow as they walked together towards the edge of the forest.

“You knew?” However, Baili Xia didn’t find it surprising.

In the Mu family, it was indeed hard to keep any secrets about what she wanted to do.

Mu Xiaoyao stayed silent; it was enough for her to understand.

After walking for what seemed like a long time, Baili Xia’s legs finally weren’t uncomfortable anymore.

She gently nudged Mu Xiaoyao’s large hand away, freeing her elbow from his grasp.

Mu Xiaoyao put his hands back into his pockets, walking leisurely by her side.

“Are you cold?”

“Are you cold?”

The two of them spoke simultaneously.

Baili Xia glanced at him.

Mu Xiaoyao was only wearing a sweater and a thin shirt, not very warm.

When he had the jacket, it was alright; the jacket could block the wind.

Now, with the jacket on her, she worried he might be cold.

Unexpectedly, he asked her instead.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled, even though her eyes were still a bit red.

But at least, there were no more tears in them now.

“If I’m cold, would you take off your sweater for me too?”

“Yeah.” Mu Xiaoyao nodded, as if it was no big deal.

“And if I’m still cold?” Baili Xia glanced at the collar of his shirt, “Would you take off your shirt too?”

“No.” No pretense, he simply wouldn’t do it, as there was nothing else under the shirt.

Especially out here.

“Then what if I’m still cold?” Baili Xia pouted a little, seemingly dissatisfied with his answer.

Mu Xiaoyao stopped, looked down at her with some seriousness in his eyes.

“Are you really cold?”

“I want the sweater, and the shirt.” She wasn’t sure if she was being stubborn, or just teasing him.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Xiaoyao took off his sweater.

His movements were so smooth, and in an instant, the still warm sweater was handed to her.

“What about the shirt?” Baili Xia took it, still eyeing the only piece of clothing left on him.

“… Put it on first, I’ll take you to see Nangong Xu later,” he said.

“Why?” What did him stripping have to do with finding Shifu?

“To get you some cold medicine.” Mu Xiaoyao was slightly impatient, glancing at her, “Hurry and put it on.”

“So, you’d rather let me catch a cold than give me your shirt?”

“Exactly.”

“…” Baili Xia wasn’t angry at all, because she knew this brother was the most genuine.

So straightforward, how wonderful, with not a hint of pretense.

She handed the sweater back to him, her voice calming down, “Aren’t you silly? You clearly realized I was teasing you.”
