Chapter 2540

Wu Ming watched all this unfold, his lips involuntarily twitching.

This girl taking such careful care of him, if possible, he would be willing to lie in bed forever, letting her take care of him.

If he could really live like this always, even being constantly injured would be worth it.

Baili Xia picked up the cup and took a small sip, feeling the temperature just right, she then handed it to Wu Ming’s lips.

Wu Ming was truly thirsty, his pale thin lips touched the edge of the cup and he began drinking in large gulps.

Seeing this, Baili Xia hurriedly reminded him: “Don’t drink so fast, be careful not to choke, coughing will pull on your wound and hurt.”

Who knew, her words seemed to make matters worse; the man in her arms suddenly started to cough.

“Sorry, Wu Ming, I didn’t mean it, how are you?”

Seeing him coughing continuously, Baili Xia quickly put the cup down and gently patted his back.

After coughing for a while, his breathing finally eased, allowing Baili Xia to relax.

However, just as Wu Ming’s breath was catching up, his eyes suddenly flashed.

Baili Xia felt her wrist tighten as she was forcefully pulled over by him.

“Ah!” The sudden change startled Baili Xia into a shout.

With one hand behind his back, she couldn’t make any move.

The other hand was held by him, making it impossible to support herself.

Without time to react, Baili Xia directly crashed into Wu Ming’s solid chest.

The two bodies collided firmly, and she only felt discomfort from her chest being pressed painfully hard.

Wu Ming grabbed her hand with one hand, while the other pressed on her back, preventing her escape.

“Wu Ming, it hurts!” Instinctively, Baili Xia released his back and started rubbing her chest.

But the other hand was still held by him.

This guy… what’s going on with him?

Just a minute ago he was talking incoherently, burning with fever, and now he’s started to bully her.

For some reason, Wu Ming’s hand on her back suddenly loosened, and Baili Xia immediately escaped.

Baili Xia couldn’t help but glare at him fiercely, her eyes full of resentment.

However, what met her gaze was Wu Ming slightly furrowing his brow.

“It hurts.”

The word “hurts” scared Baili Xia into a flurry, making her instantly forget his previous behavior towards her.

No longer could she remember being angry at him just moments before.

Baili Xia braced herself on the bed, wanting to rise from his body, but Wu Ming did not give her the chance.

“Girl, I’m so cold, hold me.”

His face looked somewhat distressing, probably suppressing the pain within.

Baili Xia knew he was still feverish, cold was certain, but given the strength he just showed, was he really that weak?

In his eyes, Wu Ming somehow managed to squeeze out a hint of pleading, a look never before seen on him.

“…”

Is he pleading with her? But why does it feel not quite right?

Furthermore, is it really appropriate for her to hold Wu Ming, considering the general rule of male and female modesty?

Yet Wu Ming wouldn’t let her go, she was now pressed over him.

“Wu Ming, please let me go, okay? Sitting like this is really tiring.”

The whole body leaned against him, even if she wanted to rise, it wouldn’t be easy.

Most importantly, this guy persistently held her with one hand, she couldn’t break free without worrying about his wound.

What surprised her was, despite being so injured, he still had such strength.

No matter what she said, his hand never released.

Finally, he extended his arm, pulled her onto the bed beside him.
