Chapter 924: The Robe Was Ripped Off by Her

“Behave, I’ll be right back and save you quickly, I promise.”

Like soothing a child, and not knowing for how long, Baili Xia finally managed to wriggle her hand free from Mu Xiaojiu’s grip.

Seeing that time was running out, she took the thermometer from under Mu Xiaojiu’s armpit.

At a glance, she almost freaked out.

Forty-one degrees, such a high temperature could damage his brain!

Without even thinking, she grabbed her phone from her bag and dialed a number, jolting Nangong Xu awake from his sleep.

After hastily covering Mu Xiaojiu with a blanket, she immediately left the room and hurried to a nearby door, knocking frantically.

Mu Xiaoyao answered the door, still bleary-eyed from sleep.

Seeing Baili Xia standing at the door, he frowned, “What…”

Before he could finish, she had already grabbed the sash of his robe and started pulling him towards her room.

Mu Xiaoyao was nearly scared out of his wits by her action.

With a tug at the sash, it came loose.

His robe flew open at the sides, fully exposing his muscular body.

And underneath…

he was only wearing a pair of tight briefs!

Doesn’t this girl know any shame?

In a flurry of motion, he sorted out his robe and tied the sash, but by then Baili Xia had already pulled him to the doorway of her room.

He had intended to scold her for her rash behavior, but when he saw the man lying on the bed, a sense of urgency spiked within him, and he stepped inside willingly.

After Baili Xia entered the room, he immediately closed the door.

“Are you crazy!” he demanded, his eyes blazing with sudden fury as he glanced down at her.

“Uncle is sleeping in your room, and you’re running around with the door open risking other people finding out.

If this blows up, how are we supposed to deal with it?

You…”

“Uncle has a fever, forty-one degrees.” Baili Xia pulled at his sash again, “Brother, think of something, he’s in my room now.”

Fortunately, this time Mu Xiaoyao was prepared, otherwise, with her frantic pulling, she might have actually ripped his robe off.

Approaching the bedside, he saw that Mu Xiaojiu was not asleep; instead, he was lying there with his eyes open, quietly watching Baili Xia.

With a single glance at him, Baili Xia turned and went into the bathroom to fetch a cool, damp towel to place on his forehead.

“Uncle.” No matter how she called him, Mu Xiaojiu had no reaction.

Mu Xiaoyao turned to Baili Xia with an even deeper frown, “What’s wrong with him?”

“I don’t know, he’s been like this ever since he arrived tonight. No response when I talk to him, let alone uttering a word.”

Baili Xia was frantic too; aside from applying a cold towel to Mu Xiaojiu, she took another towel, soaked it with warm water, and wiped his neck, chest, and underarms.

But his body temperature wouldn’t decrease, and his hands and feet remained icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

“Why isn’t Nangong Xu here yet?” She was anxious, reaching for the phone again to call Nangong Xu.

Just then, faint footsteps could be heard outside, very weak due to the house’s exceptional soundproofing.

Baili Xia’s recent training had paid off, as even she could hear the footsteps; needless to say, so could Mu Xiaoyao.

Nangong Xu had barely had the chance to knock before Mu Xiaoyao was already at the door, opening a crack.

Seeing it was Nangong Xu, he immediately opened the door wide.

Nangong Xu stepped in, and his heart sank a bit at the sight of the man on the bed.

This state, it was too…

disheveled!
