Realizing what a reckless thing he had almost done, Mu Xiaoyao's heart trembled violently, and he abruptly distanced himself from her.
Baili Xia seemed to still be trapped in a nightmare. Even with such a commotion by the bed, she only barely opened her eyes.
In her groggy state, she saw Mu Xiaoyao by her side but paid him no further attention. Turning over, she sank back into a deep sleep.
Mu Xiaoyao, however, could not calm down at all.
Just now... he had almost kissed her!
His heart pounded wildly, the incessant rhythm so intense that he could scarcely bear it.
It felt as though his heart was malfunctioning. Was it possible he truly had a heart condition?
Mu Xiaoyao felt a mix of regret and unease.
Having a heart condition wouldn't be a big deal; he could have Nangong Xu take a look another day. What truly unsettled him was his behavior just now.
Thankfully, he had stopped before doing something he shouldn't have.
