Bei Shuo only knocked on Mu Ciâs study door when she saw Gu Ming rushing downstairs with her briefcase.
Mu Ci stood up from the wheelchair and spread his arms, waiting for Bei Shuo to throw herself at him.
Bei Shuo grinned and hugged him. âWhy is Brother still in a wheelchair? Didnât Gu Ming know that your leg is fine?â
Mu Ci hugged her and smiled. âGu Ming reminded me that itâs better to restrain myself first so that there wonât be too many people knowing about it. If word gets out, it will cause unnecessary trouble.â
Bei Shuo played with the buttons on Mu Ciâs chest and nodded. âHeâs quite smart.â
Mu Ci smiled and kissed her palm. âOf course. How can I use someone who isnât smart?â
He pulled Bei Shuo to the sofa and sat down.
Bei Shuo leaned against him and rolled her eyes. âThen Iâm also a shrewd person, right?â
Mu Ci tapped the tip of her nose and smiled without saying anything.
Bei Shuo liked the feeling of being with Mu Ci very much, but she didnât know that this was a torment for Mu Ci. He calmed himself down and hugged the girl in his arms as he shook her gently. âYouâre back so late today?â
Bei Shuo recalled the serious matter and told Mu Ci about Mu Yaoâs condition.
Mu Ci frowned and did not speak.
Bei Shuo looked at his expression and didnât know what he was thinking. She simply said her thoughts. âI saw from the medical records that Mu Yao is using western medicine now. Thereâs no Chinese medicine involved. I took her pulse and realized that this childâs health is indeed very poor. Her pulse is quite strange. As I donât know her medical history, I donât dare to come to a conclusion. Moreover, I keep feeling that something is wrong.â
âWhatâs strange?â Mu Ci tidied Bei Shuoâs hair and used his fingers to smoothen her furrowed brows.
âMu Yao is very familiar with the hospital. She wanders around the hospital without anyone to accompany her or care about her. She should know that Iâm a Chinese medicine practitioner, but sheâs not eager to let me take her pulse. Sheâs not against it, either. However, she didnât ask me for the results after I was done.â
âThis child is in a vicious cycle. Thereâs no one around her. Is she really not going to care or is she especially at ease? I have an uncomfortable feeling. Itâs as if they predicted that I would accompany her, but why? Why do they let me accompany her at ease?â
Mu Ci listened to Bei Shuo and didnât say anything. He hummed softly and gestured for Bei Shuo to continue.
Bei Shuo deliberated over her words and said with difficulty, âBrother, do you think Mu Yao looks like a bait? To catch a silly fish like me? Then, do they want me to take the initiative to treat Mu Yao?â
Mu Ciâs fingers that were caressing the back of Bei Shuoâs hand paused.
Bei Shuo looked at Mu Ci with her big eyes and smiled in embarrassment. âAm I thinking too much?â
Mu Ci couldnât help but kiss the corner of her lips. âYou describe it well, silly fish.â
Bei Shuo was unhappy. She patted him and refused to let him play with her hands again. âIâm not stupid!â
Mu Ci was amused. âYou said it yourself.â
Bei Shuo pulled Mu Ciâs hand over and bit the back of it gently. She said fiercely on purpose, âIâll bite you!â
Mu Ci was overjoyed. He hugged Bei Shuo and kissed her fiercely. After listening to her nagging for so long, he had long coveted her little mouth. This silly girl didnât sense anything at all. He was so angry.
From fierce to gentle, Bei Shuo gradually lost herself in Mu Ciâs kiss. Mu Ciâs breathing gradually became unstable. He sighed inwardly and tried his best to calm down before letting go of Bei Shuo.
Bei Shuo leaned into his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist. Neither of them spoke.
When Mu Ci completely calmed down, he realized that the little thing in his arms was breathing evenly and had already fallen asleep. He couldnât help but laugh.
Mu Ci fell into deep thought as he looked at Bei Shuoâs exquisite and fair face.
He had taken Bei Shuoâs every word to heart. He believed in Bei Shuo as if he believed in himself.
Bei Shuo was not contaminated by the mortal world. She was very sensitive to people and was not affected by emotions. This was very rare.
Then, did Mu Yao really get close to Bei Shuo on purpose and use Bei Shuoâs curiosity to treat her? Why? They could use any doctor in the hospital with a word. Why did they have to use such a method to scheme against Bei Shuo?
Scheme?
As soon as this word entered his mind, Mu Ci instinctively became vigilant.
They also wanted to scheme against Bei Shuo? What was there about Bei Shuo that was worthy of their schemes? His current condition was a secret to the public, so no one knew about Bei Shuoâs medical skillsâ
