Chapter 1725 — Xiaoshu Is Sick (Part Two)

"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 Yun 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 Yun 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 Yun 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 Yun 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 Yun 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 Yun 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 Yun 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 Yun rushed to the bathroom to fill the tub with cold water for Shen Yushu. Tang Yun was uneasy and full of doubt. "What on earth is wrong with Xiaoshu? Has she ever been like this before?"

"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 Yun 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 Yun 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 Yun 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?
