The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 147 - 138: This is Not Normal

But Zhou Xun didn’t dare to sleep. She felt that Lin Mu, this guy, wouldn’t easily pass up the chance to sleep together with her. He must be waiting for her to fall asleep, and once she does, he’d be free to do whatever he wants!

More than half an hour passed.

"... Ah... choo..." Zhou Xun suddenly sneezed.

Lin Mu immediately opened his eyes.

He saw a translucent snot hanging from Zhou Xun’s nose. Zhou Xun quickly got up to grab a tissue and wipe it away, then saw Lin Mu with a half-smile on his face.

"Can’t I have a runny nose?"

Zhou Xun glared at Lin Mu.

Lin Mu chuckled and said, "Miss Zhou, are you catching a cold? The air conditioning is so low!"

"No way." Zhou Xun quickly shook her head and said, "I’m not sick. You go back to sleep."

"Oh."

Lin Mu nodded and closed his eyes again.

Zhou Xun had already wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.

Just a breeze from the air conditioning really made her feel a bit chilled.

The fact was that people’s feelings are quite accurate; Zhou Xun indeed caught a cold.

So around two in the morning, Zhou Xun decisively got, um, feverish, not flirty.

Zhou Xun felt her head aching and her whole body very hot.

However, this heat was on the surface; inside, Zhou Xun felt very cold. It turned out she indeed had a fever and was genuinely sick.

Her nose started to run, and her head was buzzing heavily, her breathing became labored.

Lin Mu woke up from sleep; he had genuinely fallen asleep.

Most of the time, Lin Mu is just all talk. If it really came to having to make a move on Zhou Xun, he wouldn’t do it! That kind of thing must be consensual, not taking advantage of a situation like this, kicking someone when they’re down.

So Lin Mu just wanted to tease Zhou Xun a bit, then go back to sleep.

However, Zhou Xun caught a cold, and Lin Mu was awakened by it.

He saw Zhou Xun lying there with a dazed look, shivering. Of course, that’s what Lin Mu saw. In reality, Zhou Xun’s head hurt, and her body was in pain, struggling in discomfort and drowsiness with a dazed look in her eyes.

"What’s wrong?!" freeweɓnovel.cøm

Lin Mu hurriedly sat up and looked at Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun hugged the blanket tightly and said, "N-nothing’s wrong."

Lin Mu frowned and said in a deep voice, "You’re f-feverish."

"You, you’re the one who’s f-feverish..." Zhou Xun gritted her teeth and said, "I, I just have a bit of a headache."

"Seems like a fever."

Lin Mu nodded to himself and then said, "Did you bring any cold medicine with you?"

"No... no." Zhou Xun shook her head.

"Girls have weaker physiques, so they should bring some cold medicine when going out. Unlike us men, who are as strong as oxen, don’t need any medicine at all..."

As Lin Mu spoke, he turned on the light, took the remote control to turn off the air conditioning on the wall, and opened a window, finally raising the room’s temperature a bit.

But the next second, Zhou Xun was startled by an unexpected scene, as this beast Lin Mu eagerly yanked the blanket off her.

Zhou Xun was shocked.

What is he trying to do? Does he intend to take advantage of me being sick and powerless to do some beastly things?

"Even if you’re really strong, you wouldn’t be able to resist if I wanted to do something to you."

Lin Mu touched Zhou Xun’s forehead and then said, "I’ll take you to see a doctor. It’s at least 39 degrees now. If a fever is left untreated, it can easily fry your brain. Look at you, with snot dripping, and your face a bit paralyzed — looking entirely like a dimwit from a fever burnout."

"Could you stop saying hurtful things, or will you die if you don’t?

"Ah, never mind, I’ll take you to the hospital!" Lin Mu said anxiously,

"It’s already two in the morning, the hospital is definitely closed, and we’re strangers here. How are we going to get a taxi?" Zhou Xun said, pale-faced,

"That’s true, but what should we do about your high fever tonight?"

"Don’t worry about it..." Zhou Xun said weakly, "Cough, cough, children from poor families have strong resistance. I’ve had a fever of 41 degrees before and didn’t die. I should be able to tough this one out too..."

Toughing it out for one night surely won’t work; it could really fry your brain! Lin Mu quickly came up with an idea: Right! There’s a home remedy for treating colds in the ’Vajra Scripture’ using Qi Gong. Never tried it before, don’t know if it works, but how will I know if I don’t try? Many home remedies can cure serious illnesses!

"Come, turn over; let me treat you!"

"Uh, what?"

Miss Zhou hadn’t even reacted before Lin Mu picked her up by the waist, and her slender waist lay limply in Lin Mu’s arms like a snake due to her weakness.

"Uh, Brother Lin, what are you trying to do..."

"Miss Zhou, don’t overthink it! I want to use Qi Gong to treat you. Although I don’t have medicine, I’ve heard from ancient Chinese medical books that the human body is composed of three parts: Qi, Blood, and Essence.

Under normal circumstances, these three are balanced and complementary, keeping the body in good condition. But once ill, it means the Qi, Blood, and Essence have been compromised. Qi damage causes bodily harm, blood damage harms the muscles, and essence damage affects the mind!

What I’m going to do now is inject Inner Qi into your body so that your Qi, Blood, and Essence in your body can achieve a perfect balance again, restoring your normal state."
