Chapter 1613 — Really No Problem
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Gu Mengyao had actually been conscious the whole time. When Xiaoshu called her, saying she was burning up all over, she had already woken — only her body had no strength at all and she could not speak! And earlier, when Wei Zhao's gaze had settled upon her chest, Gu Mengyao had been fully aware of it too!
The young lady had been equal parts ashamed and furious, nearly fainting on the spot! Yet somewhere deep in her heart, a flicker of secret delight stirred... Were her breasts really that pretty? Prettier than Xiaoshu's cow-like bosom? Otherwise, why would Wei Zhao have been staring at her instead of at Shen Yushu?
And how did she compare with Tang Zhi? The young lady was feverish, her mind running wild with thoughts, and before long she had spiraled into far too many imaginings...
Matters that, in her usual clear-headed state, Gu Mengyao would never have troubled herself to dwell on now came flooding into her mind, one and all... But later, when she heard Wei Zhao say it was a check for pneumonia, Gu Mengyao felt a sudden pang of disappointment... Was he really checking for pneumonia?
Yet that naked, undisguised stare had not seemed like a simple pneumonia check at all. Gu Mengyao had clearly felt in it a certain hue — the kind only a lecher ever wears in his eyes... And yet rather than being angered by such a wolfish gaze, Gu Mengyao felt something closer to delight...
Before she could think any further, the silver needle in Wei Zhao's hand had pierced into Gu Mengyao's body. In the next instant, a cool sensation spread from head to toe, and the burning heat seemed to recede somewhat...
Looking at Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao's half-lidded gaze grew hazy and unfocused.
"Brother Arrow, is that all? Just a simple cold?" Hearing that Gu Mengyao's illness was nothing more than a cold, Shen Yushu let out an enormous sigh of relief.
"Yes, just a cold." Wei Zhao nodded. "What did you expect — some terrible disease? By the way, weren't you in the air-conditioned room this afternoon as well? Are you feeling off at all? Let me check you over too!"
Wei Zhao suddenly remembered that Xiaoshu had been standing right beside them as well. If she had caught a chill too, she would need treatment early. Though Shen Yushu appeared perfectly fine at the moment, colds were strange things — the incubation period varied from person to person. Some fell ill on the spot, while others might not react until a day later.
"Me? I'm fine... My body temperature has always run a little hotter than most people's. I generate plenty of heat; the cold air doesn't really touch me..." Shen Yushu blinked in surprise, but almost at once a strange gleam flickered in her eyes, and she said, "Okay, okay! Brother Arrow, hurry and check me! See whether I'm sick!"
"Ha..." Wei Zhao chuckled. "Hold out your hand."
Shen Yushu extended her hand and said, "Should I take my clothes off? My chest is bigger than Sister Yaoyao's — if I don't, Brother Arrow won't be able to see clearly, will he? I'd better not have pneumonia!"
Wei Zhao's foot nearly slipped from beneath him and he almost sat down hard on the floor. Rubbing the bridge of his nose, he said with a wry smile, "That won't be necessary. Your symptoms don't match. You don't have it."
"Oh..." Shen Yushu nodded, not terribly disappointed, only looking at Wei Zhao with a hint of anxiety. "Brother Arrow, do I have some illness or other?"
"No." Wei Zhao gave Shen Yushu a quick examination and found no sign of a cold. "You're perfectly healthy. Your constitution is actually a bit stronger than Yaoyao's."
"Huh? No illness?" Shen Yushu exhaled with relief, but then pressed on, "Brother Arrow, did you check thoroughly?"
"Of course!" Wei Zhao laughed. "An illness this simple — I can spot it in a single glance."
"But what if I have some other, more complicated disease?" Shen Yushu thrust her hand over again. "Brother Arrow, how about you check me once more — see if there's anything else wrong?"
