Chapter 387.1: Taking a Look at the Silkie (1/2)
Back then he had fallen into the water so abruptly that she started crying from panic. If it weren’t for the fact that Tang Doudou came just in time, Baili Feng probably would’ve drowned.
However, the more she thought about it, the more strange that things seemed. She felt that there was something about this that wasn’t a coincidence. When this thought occurred to her, she couldn’t sit still anymore and quickly put on her shoes, then hopped on one leg to the door.
When the servant at the door saw her, he hastily moved over to support her. “Miss Mu, where are you going?”
“I…” There was no way she could say that she was going to find Big Brother Baili, so she said, “I wanted to check and see if the eggs were ready.”
The servant said, “Just leave that to me. Miss Mu, your foot is injured, so it’s best…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he smelled something fragrant, then his vision went dark and he collapsed to the ground.
Mu Qingyu showed no surprise at this and just glanced around to make sure that there was no one around before dragging the person into the room. Following that, she started hopping towards the back garden.

“I’ve had a naturally cold constitution since birth. Often times, I’d feel chilled to the bones just from staying near water and would become heavily ill. After falling into the water today, I’ll probably have to spend a long time on the bed,” said Baili Feng.
Tang Doudou asked in shock, “Something like this happens? Could it be due to some sort of illness? Baili gongzi, have you had any doctors take a look at you?”
“Isn’t it strange?” Baili Feng laughed. “When I was first born, since my body was ice-cold, the midwife almost declared me dead. It was due to my mother’s insistence that I was kept and managed to survive.
“My parents got a lot of people to take a look at my condition, but none of them could figure out what was wrong.
