Chapter 1725 — Xiaoshu Is Sick (Part Two)
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"So hot... it's better with nothing on!" Shen Yushu stripped off her bra and pajama bottoms before Gu Mengyao could say another word, leaving herself in nothing but a pair of panties, then darted around the room like a headless fly. "So hot, so hot, I'm going to die of heat..."
"..." Gu Mengyao was speechless. All that pale flesh on display, plus a pair of top-grade giant melons, was enough to make her dizzy. "Xiaoshu, the more you run around like that, the hotter you'll get. Just calm down and wait for Yunyun to bring you some ice cream..."
"Oh..." Shen Yushu stopped, but she still looked terribly hot.
Just then Tang Zhi returned. She nearly jumped out of her skin at the sight of the undressed Xiaoshu, but fortunately the three of them had bathed together before, so she wasn't too shocked. "Xiaoshu, here's your ice cream... you really shouldn't be like this..."
"Give it to me, quick..." Shen Yushu reached out and took the ice cream Tang Zhi handed her, but the instant her fingers touched it, the whole thing melted into a puddle of liquid — in the blink of an eye it had run all over the floor...
"Huh? This ice cream..." Tang Zhi had thought at first that the freezer was broken, but the two remaining in her own hand were perfectly fine. Only Shen Yushu's had melted straight into water...
Gu Mengyao sensed something was off too. She reached out to touch Shen Yushu, but the contact gave her such a fright that she let out an involuntary yelp and snatched her hand back. "Why are you so burning hot? Xiaoshu, you..."
"Yao Yao, I feel like I'm being cooked. What do I do... what do I do..." Shen Yushu's skin, normally so fair and white, was gradually taking on an abnormal red flush, like the color of a crab boiled alive...
"What... what's going on here?" Tang Zhi was at a loss too. "Yao Yao, why don't you look it up online and see what this is?"
"Okay!" Gu Mengyao nodded hurriedly, picked up the tablet beside her, and searched Xiaoshu's symptoms. Wei Zhao had gone to deal with Zhao Qibing, so Gu Mengyao didn't want to call and disturb him.
"Find anything?" Tang Zhi asked.
"I found something... but... the internet says Xiaoshu's symptoms look like she's been drugged with an aphrodisiac?" Gu Mengyao stared at the screen with a strange expression. "It says here that after a girl is given that kind of drug, her whole body heats up and she starts taking off her clothes on her own..."
"Uh..." Tang Zhi looked at the explanation on the screen, then at Xiaoshu, and somehow it didn't seem quite right. Blushing with embarrassment, she said, "That doesn't sound right... I got hit with that drug once too... but after I took it, not only did I get hot... I also really wanted to... wanted to... wanted to do that..."
"True, Xiaoshu seems fairly normal, not like she's been drugged. Besides, she came back with Wei Zhao — no one would have had the chance to slip her anything... so it can't have been Wei Zhao." Gu Mengyao nodded as well and tossed the tablet aside. "Forget it, I'll stop searching."
"Right, right. If Brother Arrowhead wanted Xiaoshu, he wouldn't need to drug her... it's so hot, I'm just hot, nothing else..." Shen Yushu nodded in agreement.
"Why don't you go take a cold shower and see if that helps?" Tang Zhi broke into a sweat at Shen Yushu's words and quickly suggested.
"Okay, okay. Yao Yao, Yunyun, hurry and run me a bath... I feel like I'm about to catch fire, it's so awful!" Shen Yushu groaned in misery.
Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi rushed to the bathroom to fill the tub with cold water for Shen Yushu. Tang Zhi was uneasy and full of doubt. "What on earth is wrong with Xiaoshu? Has she ever been like this before?"
