Chapter 1787

Mu Xiaoyao walked straight back to the lobby, and even went upstairs to the second floor.

Baili Xia followed him, panting heavily.

After quite a struggle, Brother’s steps slowed down, and she realized they had reached the door to his room.

“Brother.” Baili Xia tugged at his sleeve, and this time, she wouldn’t let go no matter what.

She was really afraid that if she released him, he’d run off again, and she wouldn’t know where to chase him.

Taking a deep breath, she looked up at him and hurriedly said, “I was just messing with you, don’t be mad.”

“I’m not mad.” Even if he was upset before, now, after seeing her flushed little face and shortness of breath, he’s no longer angry.

However, Mu Xiaoyao still straightened his face, staring at her: “Don’t ever joke around with your life from now on!”

He said this very seriously, without a hint of humor.

Baili Xia knew that her behavior earlier really upset him.

She stuck out her tongue and nodded: “I won’t do it again, but I knew for sure Brother would catch me, right?”

“What if I couldn’t catch you?” Mu Xiaoyao’s expression turned grimmer.

Did this girl know how dangerous it really was just now?

If he hadn’t caught her, she’d have fallen directly to the ground, then what?

Her small frame would definitely get hurt!

“But I trust Brother will always catch me.” She was equally serious.

With Brother’s skills, and his focused gaze on her earlier, how could he possibly fail to catch her?

But seeing his face grow darker, Baili Xia dared not tease him anymore.

She quickly shook his sleeve gently, trying to squeeze out a charming smile on her flushed face.

“I’ll never do it again, okay? Brother, don’t be angry, I won’t dare anymore.”

Mu Xiaoyao said nothing because it was clear her promise lacked credibility.

“Brother, please, I’m really scared now, trust me this one time, and forgive me, okay?”

Baili Xia shook his sleeve again, but seeing him unmoved, her little face crumpled in distress.

“Brother doesn’t care about me anymore! Brother won’t forgive me, then I won’t sleep tonight, I’ll just stand here as punishment!”

She let go of his sleeve and truly stood in the corridor, motionless.

She lifted her pitiful eyes to look at him.

Mu Xiaoyao stared into her eyes for a while, then finally sighed helplessly.

“I’m not mad, go take a shower.”

“Really not mad?” She blinked her eyes.

“Really not mad,” he replied earnestly.

After all she’s said, how could he still be angry?

If he stayed angry, wouldn’t that mean he’d have to let her stand here all night as punishment?

“Go take a shower.” Mu Xiaoyao gently pushed her.

Baili Xia then broke into a smile, “I knew Brother cares about me the most.”

“Go on.”

“Okay.”

…She didn’t take long in the shower, in less than twenty minutes, she had changed into pajamas and came out of the bathroom.

Just as she emerged, she saw someone pushing open the room door, entering in strides with a laptop in hand.

“Brother?” Baili Xia tilted her head, staring at him: “What are you doing?”

“You go ahead and sleep, I just have some work, then I’ll stay with you to sleep.”

Mu Xiaoyao walked to the desk, put the laptop on it, opened it, and his long fingers began dancing on the keyboard.

Baili Xia looked surprised: “Brother, are you staying with me to sleep tonight?”
