Chapter 225: Behave Don't Move 38_1

Uncle ordered Mu Xiaoyao to protect Baili Xia, leaving him no choice but to bring his own notebook over.

After taking a bath, he stayed in her room, without ever leaving.

She stayed quiet all night.

Nevertheless, her excessive silence brought him a sense of unease.

If she wept heavily in bed, maybe he would feel it was more normal.

“Brother, I’m alright.

You can go back,” She spoke.

Noticing his frequent glances, Baili Xia finally shut her book and eyed him.

When he didn’t respond, she even offered him a sweet smile: “I’m really fine.”

“…

I need to keep an eye on you.” He wanted to say that Uncle had asked him to watch over her.”

Yet, no good time came for him to mention “Uncle” in their conversation.

He was never good at comforting girls.

If she started crying due to thoughts of Uncle, he wouldn’t know what to do.

“I’m okay, you don’t need to watch me.

Go and rest, I’m going to sleep.”

Baili Xia put her book aside, pulled-over the quilt to cover herself, and laid down on the bed.

“Brother, I’m not used to having someone in my room when I’m trying to sleep, especially a man.”

She blinked at him, trying to squeeze out a smile.

“Brother, can I have some peace?

I’m really tired.”

“If you’re tired, go to sleep.” Mu Xiaoyao’s attitude that night was quite admirable.

“I can’t sleep with you here.” she complained, “I feel like I’m constantly under watch.”

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t reply, generally, if he felt unwanted, he would leave.

But Uncle had asked him to watch over her…

“Brother, your room isn’t far from here.

If anything happens, I will call for you.”

Baili Xia continued to stare at him, once again pleading.

“I’m so tired that I can’t keep my eyes open, brother, let me have a peaceful sleep.”

He watched her face, her small face looking somewhat pale.

Under the light, she appeared all the more pitiful.

Finally, he stood up, took one last look at her, then turned and left.

Before he left, he even turned off her room’s light for her.

The little girl in the room seemed to have truly fallen asleep.

He stood outside for a few minutes without hearing any sound from within.

It wasn’t until then he finally left.

As for the person in the room, she lay on the bed, staring blankly into a corner.

Her eyes were wide open, completely unfocused, thinking about something unknown.

Finally, after quite a while, she suddenly swung the quilt aside and sat up.

Without any hesitation, she walked straight towards the door.

Upon opening the door and seeing no one else in the corridor, she walked out immediately.

Walking through the quiet corridor, going down the quiet staircase, and through the main hall.

Without alerting anyone, she quickly left the main hall, instantly making a detour towards the direction of the Sihai Residence.

Baili Xia did not go through the main entrance of the Sihai Residence, but circled outside the high walls.

From here, she climbed the tree beside the high wall.

From a distance, she could faintly see the light in Uncle’s room.

Such bright light, someone must still be busy inside.

Uncle…

was he still not awake yet?

She was currently on a large tree that was only around two feet away from the high walls.

Watching that slender figure nervously, cautiously climbing from the tree towards the high wall.

The person standing in the dark couldn’t help but sweat for her.

She almost fell several times!

Can she even climb trees?
