Chapter 1725 — Xiaoshu Is Sick (Part Two)
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I don't know either... She's always said she was hot. In the dead of winter she'd strip naked in the villa. I never paid it much mind before — I thought she just liked being undressed... but it's never been this bad!" Gu Mengyao was frantic too, staring at the water flowing from the tap and wishing she could make it come out faster...
"Maybe... we should call Wei Zhao? Have him take a look at Xiaoshu?" Tang Zhi was out of ideas too. It wasn't as if Shen Yushu was going to turn into a cooked dish in a few minutes, was she?
"With Xiaoshu like this... how can we call Wei Zhao over?" Gu Mengyao smiled bitterly.
"Don't hide the illness for fear of the cure..." Tang Zhi smiled bitterly as well. "Xiaoshu doesn't mind, and I don't mind either... We can't very well carry her to the hospital like this, can we?"
"If it really comes to that, we'll have to call Wei Zhao back." Gu Mengyao nodded helplessly. Tang Zhi was right — if neither she nor Xiaoshu minded, then what was she so nervous about? Besides, having Wei Zhao see her was better than anyone else seeing her. And it wasn't as if Xiaoshu hadn't been seen like this once or twice before — she was always clamoring to be Wei Zhao's little wife, so a look really didn't matter.
Once the cold water was ready, Shen Yushu couldn't wait. She ran in quickly, pulled off her panties, and jumped into the tub.
But as it turned out, the basin of cold water didn't cool her down at all — it boiled in an instant, bubbling and gurgling as if Shen Yushu were being cooked alive!
And Shen Yushu leapt out of the tub with a "whoosh," screaming, "I'm scalded, I'm scalded!"
"Xiaoshu, you seem hotter than boiling water... you boiled the water..." Gu Mengyao shook her head and picked up her phone. "I'm calling Wei Zhao. It looks like you're sick!"
Wei Zhao had just left the Gelivable Clouds Bar when Gu Mengyao's call came through.
"Young Miss? What is it? Something wrong?" Wei Zhao had been about to head home, never expecting Gu Mengyao to call just then. Lately she hadn't been keeping tabs on his whereabouts the way she used to, nor did she insist he be home by any particular hour at night.
"What young miss... I'm not joking with you. Something's happened at home. Xiaoshu... has a bit of a problem... Can you come back and take a look?" Gu Mengyao hesitated as she said it, but for something like this, the best solution really was to find Wei Zhao. No one else would do!
"Xiaoshu? A bit of a problem?" Wei Zhao was startled. He had just dropped Xiaoshu home not long ago, and she'd been perfectly fine then. How had something gone wrong?
"Yeah... you'll understand when you get back... I can't really explain it... Her whole body's burning hot... and then she took all her clothes off, like a cooked lobster..." Gu Mengyao said.
"Burning hot? Took all her clothes off?" Wei Zhao was taken aback too. "Then wait for me. I'll come back and take a look..."
Wei Zhao's wording was a little ambiguous. Come back and take a look — at Xiaoshu without her clothes, or at Xiaoshu's illness?
