Chapter 267: Can You Give Me This Chance?

Xu Xiang moved a stool for Xiao Shao and said, "Please sit down, Young Master Xiao."

"Thank you, Miss Xu." Xiao Shao thanked her and sat down on the stool.

Seeing Xu Xiang sitting on the bed and gently helping Mu Yucheng tidy his messy clothes, Xiao Shao fell into a daze. He couldn’t help but compare Xu Xiang’s attitude towards him when he was injured, and Xu Xiang’s attitude towards Mu Yucheng now.

’It turns out that this is what she looks like when she takes care of someone who means a lot to her. Her eyes were really gentle when she looked at him. Why wasn’t I the one who received her tender gaze?’

Feeling the dull pain in his heart again, Xiao Shao took a deep breath to suppress his feelings. He smiled at Xu Xiang and said, "Miss Xu, let me help Young Master Mu to change his clothes. It must be very uncomfortable for him right now."

Xu Xiang looked at Mu Yucheng’s clothes that was covered with blood, then at Xiao Shao and said, "Well..."

Xiao Shao saw her hesitation and asked, "What’s the matter?"

Xu Xiang scratched her cheek and said, "He fell asleep before giving me clean clothes."

Hearing what she said, Xiao Shao was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then I will stay here until Young Master Mu wakes up. It’s not early anymore. Miss Xu should go back and get some rest, since there are still a few hours before dawn."

Xu Xiang thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Then I can only trouble Young Master Xiao to take care of him. If anything happens to him, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you for your help."

After hearing her words, Xiao Shao felt very uncomfortable. According to her, she has a very close relationship with Mu Yucheng, but she regards him as an outsider. That’s why she thanked him for taking care of Mu Yucheng.

Xiao Shao tried not to show any emotion on his face, kept his smile and said, "This is only a small matter. I am friends with Young Master Mu, just like Miss Xu and Young Master Mu. As friends, we should help each other."

He deliberately emphasized the word ’friend’ just to see Xu Xiang’s reaction. To his surprise, Xu Xiang was happy when she heard his words, but Xiao Shao was at a loss while thinking: ’Am I thinking too much? Doesn’t she think of him that way? Is there really nothing between the two of them?’

Unlike Xiao Shao who was confused now, Xu Xiang was relieved when she heard Xiao Shao’s words, and thought: ’Fortunately, there is really no hostility between them. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to make Xiao Shao as emperor when Mu Yucheng is hostile towards him.’

After putting this matter behind her, Xu Xiang was in a good mood. She stood up and said, "Then I will take my leave first. Good night, Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Shao got up to send her out. He looked at her with a smile and said gently: "Good night, Miss Xu."

After closing the door, Xiao Shao sat back on the stool and looked at the sleeping Mu Yucheng. He stared at Mu Yucheng for a long time before saying, "You are very lucky. If you make her sad and let her down, don’t blame me for taking her away."

The next day, Xu Xiang woke up after three hours of sleep. When she stood in front of Mu Yucheng’s room, the sky was still dark and most of the people on the boat were still sleeping. She raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

In the room, Xiao Shao opened his eyes when he heard a knock on the door. He got up from the stool and went to open the door. He was taken aback when he saw Xu Xiang standing in front of the door.

"Miss Xu, why did you get up so early? Did you not sleep last night?" Xiao Shao asked with a slight frown.

Sensing the worry in his tone, Xu Xiang smiled at him and said, "Young Master Xiao, good morning. I just woke up, so I came to check on Mu Yucheng’s condition. How is he?"

Looking at her smile, Xiao Shao sighed helplessly. He stepped aside to let her in, and closed the door behind him.

"Young Master Mu is still sleeping. But judging by his complexion, he should be getting better." Xiao Shao said while pouring Xu Xiang a glass of warm water.

Sitting by the bed, Xu Xiang reached out and touched Mu Yucheng’s forehead, feeling that his body temperature had returned to normal. She looked at Mu Yucheng for a while, then got up and went to the table in the middle of the room.

After sitting down, Xu Xiang picked up the teacup and took a sip of warm water. Putting down the teacup, she looked at Xiao Shao and said, "Thank you for taking care of him."

Xiao Shao shook his head and gently said, "You don’t need to say thank you to me."

Xu Xiang looked at his tired face and said, "Young Master Xiao, you should go back and get some rest too. I can stay here and watch over Mu Yucheng."

Not wanting to leave them alone, Xiao Shao shook his head and said, "I’m fine."

Xu Xiang looked at Xiao Shao and thought: ’He is indeed a good person.’

Feeling her gaze, Xiao Shao raised his hand to touch his face, and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Looking at his flustered expression, Xu Xiang chuckled softly. She rested her chin on her palm and said, "I never thought you could show such a cute expression too."

Hearing her soft chuckle, Xiao Shao smiled and said, "If you give me a chance, I can show you all my expressions. Do you want to see it? Can you give me this chance?"
